Right, I am testing it under GNU system (USB installed image with guix 
0.8). Thanks for the point regarding geiser. This is now my ~/.emacs

(add-to-list 'load-path 
"/gnu/store/ysh4fvnxr0p8xrphcikivpafgvf6g18m-guix-0.8/share/emacs/site-lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp")
(require 'geiser-install)
(require 'guix-init)

Reason for the /gnu/store path is, that guix.el is a part of guix and I 
did not found it in any profile. I've added my profile path, where the 
geiser is (as it is installed by this user), but the /run/current-system 
has no share/emacs at all. I do not know why.

While I got further, it is still somewhat confused as invoking 
guix-all-available-packages results in 
error in process sentinel: Text is read-only
No prompt found!
