Baal Müller

[4] Formerly a member of the Germanic neopagan organizations Eldaring and Verein für germanisches Heidentum, his version of paganism is close to that of the historian and philosopher Reinhard Falter [de], one of his frequent collaborators.

As religious influences, Müller has mentioned Friedrich Nietzsche, Klages, Schuler, Walter F. Otto, Mircea Eliade, "in some respects" Carl Jung, and the poets Stefan George, Gottfried Benn, Rainer Maria Rilke, Theodor Däubler and Rudolf Pannwitz.

"[4] Müller is politically engaged within the German New Right, having been a columnist for the magazines Junge Freiheit and Sezession, the latter published by the New Right think tank Institut für Staatspolitik [de].

[6] He has held readings at the New Right gathering the Orphischer Kreis and spoken at anti-Islam, far-right Pegida rallies, where he has condemned what he calls the "lying press" and established parties.

According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Müller's New Right activities and use of rhetoric close to that of the Identitarian movement made his employment controversial within the party.
