The Völkisch movement was a German ethnic and nationalist movement active from the late 19th century up until the Nazi era. Erected on the idea of "blood and soil", inspired by the one-body-metaphor and the idea of grown communities in unity, it was characterised by organicism, populism, romantic nationalism and, as a consequence of a growing exclusive and ethnic connotation, by antisemitism from the 1900s onwards; the Völkisch movement was not a homogeneous set of beliefs but rather a "variegated sub-culture" that rose in opposition to the socio-cultural changes of modernity. The "only denominator common" to all Völkisch theorists was the myth of a national rebirth inspired by the traditions of the Ancient Germans; this would have been achieved either by "Germanizing" Christianity—an Abrahamic, i.e. Semitic religion that spread into Europe from the Near East—or by rejecting any Christian heritage found in Germany in order to revive a pre-Christian Germanic paganism. In a narrow definition, the term is used to designate only groups that consider human beings preformed by blood, or by inherited characteristics.

Völkischen are encompassed in a wider Conservative Revolution by scholars, a German national conservative movement that rose in prominence during the Weimar Republic. The adjective Völkisch derives from the German word Volk, corresponding to the concepts of "nation", "race" and "tribe". While Völkisch has no direct English equivalent, it could be loosely translated as "ethno-nationalist" or, closer to its original meaning, as "bio-mystical racialist", but if Völkisch writers used words like Nordische Rasse and Germanentum, their concept of Volk could be more flexible, understood as a Gemeinsame Sprache or an Ausdruck einer Landschaftsseele, in the words of geographer Ewald Banse. The Völkisch movement emerged in the late 19th century, drawing inspiration from German Romanticism and its fascination for a medieval Reich organised into a harmonious hierarchical order, they idealised the myth of an "original nation", that still could be found at their times in the rural regions of Germany, a form of "primitive democracy subjected to their natural elites."

The notion of "people" subsequently turned into the idea of a "racial essence", Völkisch thinkers referred to the term as a birth-giving and eternal entity—in the same way as they would write on "the Nature"—rather than a sociological category. Despite the previous lower-class connotation associated to the word Volk, ideologues from the Völkisch movement loaded the term with a noble overtone which suggested a German superiority over other peoples. Thinkers led by Arthur de Gobineau, Georges Vacher de Lapouge, Houston Stewart Chamberlain, Ludwig Woltmann or Alexis Carrel distorted Darwin's theory of evolution in order to advocate a "race struggle" and a hygienist vision of the world, they had conceptualised a racialist and hierarchical definition of the peoples of the world where Aryans had to be at the summit of the "white race". The purity of the bio-mystical and primordial nation theorised by the Völkisch thinkers began to be seen as corrupted by foreign elements, Jewish in particular, it was not a unified movement but rather "a cauldron of beliefs and hopes that found expression in various movements and were articulated in an emotional tone".

As they sought to overcome the malaise of a scientist and rationalist modernity, Volkisch authors imagined a spiritual solution in a Volk's essence perceived as authentic, intuitive "primitive", in the sense of an alignment with life and the cosmic order. The defining idea which the Völkisch movement revolved around was that of a Volkstum the "folkdom" or the "culture of the Volk". Other associated German words include Volksboden, Volksgemeinschaft, as well as Volkstümlich and Volkstümlichkeit; the völkisch movement had its origins in Romantic nationalism, as it was expressed by early Romantics such as Johann Gottlieb Fichte in his Addresses to the German Nation published during the Napoleonic Wars, from 1808 onwards the eighth address, “What is a Volk, in the higher sense of the term, what is love of the fatherland?", where he answered his question of what could warrant the noble individual's striving "and his belief in the eternity and the immortality of his work", by replying that it could only be that "particular spiritual nature of the human environment out of which he himself, with all of his thought and action... has arisen, namely the people from which he is descended and among which he has been formed and grown into that which he is".

The movement combined sentimental patriotic interest in German folklore, local history and a "back-to-the-land" anti-urban populism with many parallels in the writings of William Morris. "In part this ideology was a revolt against modernity", Nicholls remarked. The dream was for a self-sufficient life lived with a mystical relation to the land. Similar feelings were expressed in the US during the 1930s by the populist writers grouped as the Southern Agrarians; the völkisch movement, as it evolved, sometimes combined the arcane and esoteric aspects of folkloric oc
