Árpád von Nahodyl

Árpád von Nahodyl (born 1958) is a German writer, neopagan activist and local politician. His books on pagan subjects, esotericism, divination and mythology are published under the pseudonym Géza von Neményi. Active in Germany's neopagan scene since the early 1980s, he founded the Heidnische Gemeinschaft, which attracted media attention and controversy in that decade, and after leaving that organization founded the Germanische Glaubens-Gemeinschaft in 1991, of which he is spiritual leader and self-titled Allsherjagode. Nahodyl promotes a form of Germanic neopaganism drawing on Theosophy and New Age influences, and has been a controversial figure among German neopagans over purported proximity to the far right, which he denies, and for declaring himself leader of all contemporary pagans in the country.
