The Thule Society (; ), originally the "Studiengruppe für germanisches Altertum" ("Study Group for Germanic Antiquity"), was a German occultist and "Völkisch" group founded in Munich right after World War I, named after a mythical northern country in Greek legend.The society is notable chiefly as the organization that sponsored the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (DAP; German Workers' Party), which was later reorganized by Adolf Hitler into the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP or Nazi Party).
