Relatively early in the 1960s, Wolther ceased working as a chemist and tried to earn a living as a freelance bookseller, always at the edge of subsistence. Attracted by what he perceived as "puzzling, disturbing, and dangerous", he led a bohemian lifestyle with his wife, the Frenchwoman Andrée Mériam Wolther (order name: Rahel; a Jewish woman born in Bayonne who had suffered under the Nazi regime, and with whom he had a son, Patrick). As Grandmaster of the Fraternitas Saturni, he catered to the wishes of many potential clients (e.g. the academically spoiled occultist Adolf Hemberger), producing scandalous sex-magical drawings and eventually creating an exotic reputation.
Although exact biographical dates remain unknown, a Pluto ritual celebrated by Wolther deep underground may hint at an unresolved and problematic relationship with his parents. In August 1962 and September 1963, Wolther and his wife allegedly attempted to "bring forth the devil from Hell" in a "magnificent stalactite cave 250 metres below the earth" using burnt antimony, uranium salt, thorium oxide, strontium, and petroleum (a recipe received by Andrée Mériam in trance from "high Saturnian intelligences"). |

"We are attracted by the unreal and mysterious — we just 'have to' ... We are driven to discover and to work — work magickally. Those who have met us know that we are no 'esoterical fanatics,' but that we know how to conduct our operations skillfully and with scientific thoroughness." The prime mother is evoked with "barbaric sounds". "Onia ... Heva!! Onia ... Chavah! Chavah! Heva!! Ino ... Rea! Ria! Rua! Oia! Uuu ... Nahema! Nahema! Uuu! Oie-Ona- Uuea-Uuu! Aie, Aonie, Lilith, Lilith! Lilith! Jahou! Juhooe! Jaaaaheluu! From the deepest depth cometh forth you forces of Pluto! Heareth my call in the depth, rise forth from the transuranos — transuranos — rise forth. Plutonian powers, I enforce you to show yourself. Agiel be the mediator, Arratron be the mediator! I call Saturnus, guardian of the threshold, Saturnus, Saturnus, Saturnus — open the door to transuranos. Open the door to transuranos. Uuuu Jiiii." A female demon with the body of a scorpion and the face of a woman appears. Frau Wolther faints. The demon's body becomes human and "raises his hand against my wife". Guido Wolther utters his wish: "Therefore I beg you for the power to reign over people — the power to be master of an organisation, of an occult society which represents power on three levels — and this power I wish to share with my wife." But the demon grows angry because "the woman ... is going to betray you, little man". Exit prime mother. |
| Wolther's sex-magical drawings from the early 1970s consisted of the usual Egyptian and Hebrew symbols commonly found in Western occultism. He focused on awkward images of penises and vaginas. Similar to Johannes Göggelmann aka Saturnius, Wolther seemed to invoke scientificity and authenticity as a means to give meaning to his private reality. His world sought to transcend the ordinary; he longed to cross a threshold that brings death to others or "leaves them ill in body and soul". |

Wolther's occult career resembles a kind of exorcistic ritual, in which the protagonist attempted to banish the unbearable tension of his own existence in order to survive. Wolther’s work "ended" in complete inwardness: no drawings or writings are known after 1974. This can be seen in light of his profound disappointment with the Fraternitas Saturni (as documented in the two-volume series on the FS: In Nomine Demiurgi Nosferati — The first volume is In Nomine Demiurgi Saturni). Lacking further biographical details — and since analytical interpretation of the drawings and ritual content remains problematic — it is nevertheless striking that an astonishing number of female demons appear in both Saturnius' and Wolther’s work. Yet unlike in Walter Jantschik’s universe, there seems to be no parallel between the occult world and the normal world. Most notably, there appears to be no way back. After 1974 (?), he laid down his "instruments" and never used them again. Was/is Wolther’s "creative work" therefore a successful attempt at self-recovery on the margins of society? |
| Grandmaster of the FS, Walter Jantschik, personally knew both Saturnius and Wolther. "Daniel and Saturnus achieved tremendous things with their magical research. It is to be assumed that their creative work represented a kind of ritual escape from the unbearable existence in a bourgeois and boring society. Of course, they did not identify with that society: they constantly lamented that there were no suitable individuals for genuine magical work — no one who could continue the MAGICAL WORK." (24 August 1998). |
| Vague similarities exist between Wolther's painted women and those seen in English Hammer Studio productions, such as "The Reptile", directed by John Gilling (1965), and "The Gorgon", directed by Terence Fisher (1964). |  |
