Nazi mysticism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nazi mysticism is a quasi-religious undercurrent of Nazism; it denotes the mixture of Nazism with occultism, esotericism, Germanic mysticism, cryptohistory, and/or the paranormal. Nazi mysticism generally ascribes a religious significance to the person of Adolf Hitler and to the Nazi mission. High ranking Nazi officials such as Richard Walther Darré, Rudolf Hess, Heinrich Himmler, Alfred Rosenberg, and others are also credited with involvement in mysticism.
Examples of Nazi mystical philosophies include Ariosophy, Armanism, Theozoology, Armanen-Orden, Artgemeinschaft, Esoteric Hitlerism, and the Tempelhofgesellschaft.
Some scholars argue, conversely, that the interest of Hitler and other Nazis in paganism and the occult has been overstated and exaggerated.
[edit] Overview
Nazi mysticism is a Völkisch movement with roots in the Thule Society and Theosophy, as well as the ideas of Arthur de Gobineau.[citation needed] Guido von List and Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels were important early figures,[citation needed] with the Artgemeinschaft of Jürgen Rieger and the Armanen-Orden founded by Adolf Schleipfer in 1976 representing significant developments after World War II.[citation needed]
High Nazi officials such as Heinrich Himmler, Rudolf Hess, and R. Walther Darré are known to have been interested in mysticism and the paranormal.[citation needed]
Esoteric Hitlerism features the Nazis' race-specific pre-Christian “pagan” (including Hindu) mythologies, and the incorporation of Adolf Hitler into those mythologies.[citation needed]
The role played by mysticism in the development of Nazism and its ideals was identified by outsiders at least as early as 1940, with the publication of Lewis Spence’s Occult Causes of the Present War.[citation needed] Spence identified a pagan undercurrent in Nazism which he equated with "satanism" (for which he largely blamed Alfred Rosenberg[citation needed]), and connected Nazism to the Illuminati.[citation needed]
[edit] Central beliefs
Key concepts include the origins of the Aryan race, the Teutons, and the Germanic peoples, and the putative superiority of Aryans over all other races.
Various locations like Atlantis, Thule, Hyperborea, Shambala and the star Aldebaran have been proposed as the original homeland of the Aryan Übermenschen (supermen).
Another key belief is that the Herrenrasse (master race) has been weakened through interbreeding with those considered untermenschen or “lesser races”.
[edit] Early influences
[edit] Theozoology
In 1905 Lanz von Liebenfels published a fundamental statement of doctrine titled Theozoologie oder die Kunde von den Sodoms-Äfflingen und dem Götter-Elektron (Theo-Zoology or the Lore of the Sodom-Apelings and the Electrons of the Gods). The author claimed that “Aryan” peoples originated from interstellar deities who bred by electricity, while “lower” races were a result of inbreeding between apes and humans. Like much other Nazi mystical propaganda, the book relied on somewhat lurid sexual imagery, decrying the abuse of white women by ethnically inferior, but sexually active, men. Thus, von Liebenfels advocated mass castration of racially “apelike” or otherwise "inferior" males. This policy was in fact implemented during the Nazi era “purification.” [citation needed]
[edit] Ariosophy
The term “Ariosophy” (occult wisdom concerning the Aryans) was coined by Lanz von Liebenfels, founder of the Order of the New Templars, in 1915, and replaced “Theozoology” and “Ario-Christianity” as the label for his doctrine in the 1920s. Ariosophy is generally used to describe Aryan-racist-occult theories.
[edit] Armanism
Guido von List called his doctrine “Armanism” (after the "Armanen," supposedly the heirs of the sun-king, a body of priest-kings in the ancient Ario-Germanic nation). Armanism was concerned with the esoteric doctrines of the gnosis (distinct from the exoteric doctrine intended for the lower social classes, Wotanism).
According to The History Channel's "Decoding the Past" episode "The Nazi Prophecies," Guido von List, and not Lanz von Liebenfels, was the founder of Ariosophy. Ariosophy has been termed a theoretical precursor of the Nazi genocide.
The foremost expert on Guido von List in the English-speaking world, Stephen E. Flowers, refuses to connect that the theories of List and other early 20th century rune magicians led directly to the excesses of Auschwitz. One German academic, Stephanie von Schnurbein, in commenting on Flower's introduction to 'The Secret of the Runes', in Religion als Kulturkritik [(Winter, 1992), p. 136], states "Dabei erwähnt [Flowers] an keiner Stelle, daß List und die anderen Ariosophen Vordenker des Rassenwahns des Nationalsozialismus waren..." (In this work [Flowers] nowhere mentions that List and the other Ariosophists were intellectual predecessors of the racial madness of National Socialism...").
Although it is now considered conventional wisdom, although Flowers states that this is with “with little to no actual critical investigation,” that the ideas of List, Lanz, and others were directly implemented in the Nazi genocide, it has been argued that because the very term "Ariosophy" was analogous to its predecessor, "Theosophy," that the racial ideas in Ariosophy can be traced to Theosophy. Flowers states that ‘’ “no one has ever shown that racial policies of the NSDAP are based on so-called "Ariosophical" ideas.” ‘’
It has further been stated that even the writing of the most "extreme" of the Ariosophists, Lanz von Liebenfels (cited several times by List in The Religion of the Aryo-Germanic Folk: Esoteric and Exoteric), cannot be definitively linked to the applied anti-Semitism of the Nazis. Apologists for Lanz state that Lanz did not write unfavorably about the Jewish race, that he cooperated with Jewish scholars in many of his publications, and while it can be argued that individual Nazis became familiar with the mystical racism of Theosophy through the works of List and Lanz, it does not necessarily follow that List and Lanz were culpable in the crimes of the Nazis.
Defenders of List and Lanz claim that the Anti-Semitism that drove Nazi policies was much older and more deeply rooted among the peoples of central Europe than can be credited to the "fringe works" of mystics and rune magicians. It has been alleged, for example, that the roots of Nazi Anti-Semitism can be traced to the Lutheran and Catholic Churches as it was the Catholic Church Fathers who first invented ideas about the Jews being an inferior "race," and who drove Anti-Semitic policies right up to and all during the Second World War. (see David Kertzer, Popes Against the Jews [Knopf, 2001].
[edit] Thule Society
In 1916, Herman Pohl, Chancellor of the Germanenorden, and later founder of the Walvater Teutonic Order of the Holy Grail, was joined by Rudolf Glauer, who was initially made the Master of the Bavarian section of the Germanenorden in 1917. Born on November 9, 1875 as Adam Alfred Rudolph Glauer, Glauer was the son of a Silesian railway engineer. He is known to have traveled to Turkey in 1900, was said to have been "sentenced as a swindler and forger" in 1909, and was apparently adopted by the legitimate Baron Heinrich von Sebottendorff shortly thereafter.[1]
Glauer, also known as Rudolf Freiherr Glandeck von Sebottendorf, returned to Germany with a Turkish passport in 1913, and was a practitioner of sufism and astrology. Also a Freemason, Glauer is believed to have been initiated into an irregular lodge of the Rite of Memphis under the Grand Orient of France in 1901. In his autobiographical novel Der Talisman des Rosenkreuzers (The Rosicrucian Talisman), Glauer distinguishes between Sufi-influenced Turkish Masonry and conventional Masonry.
Glauer was also an admirer of Guido von List and the rabidly anti-Semitic Lanz von Liebenfels. A wealthy man (the source of his wealth is said to be unknown), Glauer became the grand master of the Bavarian Order in 1918. Later that year, on August 17, 1918, he founded the Thule Gesellschaft, or Thule Society, with Herman Pohl’s assistance and approval. In 1923, Glauer was expelled from Germany as an undesirable alien. In 1933, Glauer returned to Germany, and published Bevor Hitler Kam: Urkundliches aus der Frühzeit der nationalsozialistischen Bewegung von Rudolf von Sebottendorff (see Reginald H. Phelps, ""Before Hitler Came": Thule Society and Germanen Orden," Journal of Modern History, Vol. 35, No. 3 (September, 1963), pp. 245-261 [2]). The book was banned by the Bavarian political police on March 1, 1934, Glauer was arrested by the Gestapo, interned in a concentration camp, then expelled to Turkey yet again, where he committed suicide by drowning in the Bosphorus on May 9, 1945, as the Nazis surrendered to the Allies.
Some Masonic sources state that the Thule Society was created as a cover for the Germanenorden, and originally called the Studiengruppe für Germanisches Altertum (Study Group for German Antiquity), though other sources note that Glauer himself states that the original Thule Gesellschaft was run by a gentleman named Walter Nauhaus, who was also a member of the Germanenorden.[3] Other sources state that the Thule Society was founded in 1910 by Felix Niedner.[4] [5]
Deriving elements of its ideology and membership from earlier occult groups founded by List (Armanen, established 1908) and Liebenfels (The Order of the New Templars, established 1900), the Thule Society included a number of men who later became high Nazi Party officials, although Hitler himself never became a full member. Some sources state that Hitler was an "associate member," or "visiting brother." Prominent Nazis who were also members of the Thule Society include Max Amann, Anton Drexler, Dietrich Eckart, Hans Frank, Rudolf Hess, Alfred Rosenberg, and Gottfried Feder. Other sources state that Heinrich Himmler was a member of the Thule Society.[6] It was allegedly a member of the Thule Society, dentist Dr. Friedrich Krohn, who chose the swastika symbol for the Nazi party.
According to Thule Society mythology, Thule was the capital of Hyperborea, supposedly a legendary island in the far North polar regions, originally mentioned by Herodotus from Egyptian sources. In 1679, Olaf Rudbeck equated the Hyperboreans with the survivors of Atlantis, who were first mentioned by Plato, again following Egyptian sources. Supposedly, Hyperborea split into two islands, Thule and Ultima Thule, which were considered to be the center of an advanced, lost civilization whose survivors lingered in subterranean caverns, or according to some legends, within the Hollow Earth.[7] The concept of a hollow earth was first advanced by Sir Edmund Halley at the end of the seventeenth century.
It was said that surviving remnants of Hyperborea preserved ancient secrets, chief among which was the concept of the "Vril," a latent source of magical energy which could be mastered by initiates via magical rituals. It goes without saying that such mastery of Vril would make the initiate a "superman," or "übermensch." Some sources trace the origins of the concept of the Vril to the writings of the French author Louis Jacolliot (1837-1890), who at one time was the French Consul in Calcutta.
Among the works of Jacolliot are La Bible dans l'Inde ou la Vie de Iejeus Christna (1859), Les Fils de Dieu (1873), Christna et le Christ (1874), Les Traditions indo-européennes (1876), La Genése de l'humanité (1879) and L'Olympe brahmanique (1881).
The concept of the Vril was then given new impetus by Baron Edward Bulwer-Lytton, in his work Vril: The Power of the Coming Race (1870).
Through their mastery of Vril, the Hyperborians, known as the Vril-ya according to Bulwer-Lytton, would emerge from their subterranean sanctuaries and conquer the surface of the earth. Interestingly enough, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) began his work Der Antichrist (The Antichrist) in 1895 with, "Let us see ourselves for what we are. We are Hyperboreans." With the work of Jacolliot, Bulwer-Lytton, and Nietzsche in the public arena, the mystical racism of Theosophy fell on fertile soil, and the myth of the superman was unleashed.
Perhaps the most significant Thule influence on Hitler came from Dietrich Eckart. Eckart was the wealthy publisher of the newspaper Auf gut Deutsch (In Plain German). He was a committed occultist as well as a member of the Thule Society’s inner circle. He is believed to have taught Hitler a number of persuasive techniques (some possibly mystical in nature). So profound was Eckart's influence, that Hitler’s book Mein Kampf was dedicated to Eckart.
[edit] Vril Society
In his book Monsieur Gurdjief, Louis Pauwels claimed that a Vril Society had been founded by General Karl Haushofer, a student of Russian magician and metaphysician Georges Gurdjieff). Pauwels later recanted many assertions, but belief in the existence of the Vril Society has persisted.
Some historians argue that the Vril Society never existed, or that such a society had no impact on Nazism: It is not mentioned in the extensive biography of Hitler by Ian Kershaw, nor in the one by Alan Bullock, nor the biography of Hermann Göring by Werner Maser, nor the book about the history of the Schutzstaffel (SS) by Heinz Hoehne.
On the other hand, Bullock freely admits that Hitler was influenced by a range of occult ideas, and there certainly were a number of occult societies in existence when Hitler was a rootless drifter in Vienna, as well as in Munich. The historian Hugh Trevor-Roper also admits the extensive influence which such ideas had upon the young Hitler, as do the historians James Webb, Francis X. King and Dusty Sklar.
The extensive research of the historian Michael FitzGerald has established both the reality of the Vril Society, and Hitler's own membership in it. Though it remains an open question as to how far Hitler's actual beliefs were dominated by such ideas, that they played a part in the murky mental make-up of the German dictator is beyond any reasonable doubt.
Further evidence of this is shown by private memos and letters of Himmler and Bormann, as well as the recollections of Hitler's friends August Kubizek, Josef Greiner and Hermann Rauschning. A society dedicated to Vril research was also mentioned by German rocket engineer Willy Ley in an article titled "Pseudoscience in Naziland" in 1947, though he recalled it as the Society for Truth, or Wahrheitsgesellschaft. Some sources state that the Vril Society was also known as the Luminous Lodge, or the Lodge of Light,[8] though others claim that it was originally called the Brothers of the Light. [9]
According to some accounts, the Vril Society absorbed organizations like the Masters of the Black Stone (DHvSS), and the Black Knights of the Black Sun, and was tantamount to an "inner circle" of the Thule Society. [10]
In 1967, Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier published Aufbruch ins dritte Jahrtausend: von der Zukunft der phantastischen Vernunft, which discusses the Vril Society, and German author Jan Udo Holey, writing under the penname Jan van Helsing, mentions it in his own works.
Supposedly established as the "All German Society for Metaphysics" in 1921, the purpose of the Vril Society was to explore the origins of the Aryan race, to seek contact with the "hidden masters" of Ultima Thule, and to practice meditation and other techniques intended to strengthen individual mastery of the divine Vril force itself. Other sources state that the Vril Society was founded by an ill-defined group of Rosicrucians in Berlin before the end of the 19th century, while still others state that it was founded by Karl Haushofer in Berlin in 1918.[11]
As mentioned, the concept of Vril has been traced back to the French author Louis Jacolliot, and to Baron Edward Bulwer-Lytton. In Les Fils de Dieu, and in Les Traditions indo-europénees, Jacolliot claims that he encountered Vril among the Jains, in Mysore and Gujerat. In Vril: The Power of the Coming Race, Bulwer-Lytton re-popularized the concept of Vril. [12]

[edit] General Karl Haushofer
General Karl Haushofer (1869-1946) was a university professor and director of the Institute for Geopolitics at Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, as well as an avid student of Gurdjieff. He is believed to have studied Zen Buddhism, and to have been initiated at the hands of Tibetan lamas. Further, he worked closely with Adolf Hitler while he was imprisoned, writing Mein Kampf.
Haushofer claimed contact with secret Tibetan Lodges that possessed the secret of the “Superman," an idea that became central to the decision of the Nazi party to embrace an extreme form of eugenics. The notion of the Superman came into European thought via the German philosopher Nietzsche, though the Nazis grossly caricatured his ideas. As previously mentioned, the concept of the übermensch was also implicit in the writings of Louis Jacolliot, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, and Helena Petrovna Blavatsky.
Haushofer was introduced to Hitler in 1923 by Rudolf Hess, and soon became one of the future Chancellor's many mentors. Hess was one of Haushofer's closest students.[13] Haushofer's influence took three main forms: direct occult instruction, introducing Hitler to the concept of "lebensraum" (living space), and persuading Hitler that the Soviet Union, not France, was the primary enemy of Germany and had to be destroyed.
Along with his Tibetan connections, Haushofer was also said to belong to a Japanese secret society. Some sources (see below), identify it as the Order of the Green Dragon. However, the History Channel program "Last Secret of the Axis" calls it the Black Dragons.
At the end of the war Haushofer committed ritual suicide.

[edit] Persecution of Occultists in Nazi Germany
- See also Persecution of Heathens
Since some "non-authorized" or "non-officially sanctioned" occultic/runic mysticists and revivalists were imprisoned and their organizations suppressed during the Third Reich, non-specialists assume that those revivalists and organizations which were not suppressed were at least "guilty by association."
This view has spawned "hate laws" in some countries outlawing the use of runes and other ancient sacred symbols. Certainly, in the years following the Second World War, and to some extent lingering to the present day, some runes were so closely associated with the Nazis that their display, study, and discussion has been hampered in both academic and esoteric circles. [citation needed]
After 1945, those old rune magicians and occultists who survived the war in Germany slowly resumed their work, with some new voices emerging. Among the best-known is Karl Spiesberger, who revived the Armanen Futharkh.
Among the occultists imprisoned during the Third Reich were Peryt Shou [14], Siegfried Adolf Kummer [15], Rudolf John Gorsleben [16], Friedrich Bernhard Marby [17], Werner von Bulow and Wilhelm Wulff.
[edit] Suppression of non-Nazi secret societies
The Nazi Party actively suppressed certain mystical secret societies, interning, and sometimes executing a number of prominent mystics, particularly Freemasons and Rosicrucians. A precursor of the Nazi Party, the Thule Society, has been blamed for an alleged 1925 murder of Rudolph Steiner, the founder of Anthroposophy, who according to most sources was not murdered at all.[18]
Some students of the subject state that Hitler persecuted secret societies in order to preempt occult challenges to the rule of the Nazi Party.
It has been claimed that Aleister Crowley and Gurdjieff sought to contact Hitler, but evidence is slim. Hitler would later openly ridicule many German mystics, particularly practitioners of Freemasonry, Theosophy, and Anthroposophy.
[edit] Hitler's WWI experience
Many scholars argue that Hitler had no intention of instituting worship of the ancient Germanic gods. Hitler stated in Hitler's Table Talk that
- "It seems to me that nothing would be more foolish than to re-establish the worship of Wotan. Our old mythology ceased to be viable when Christianity implanted itself. Nothing dies unless it is moribund." and in Mein Kampf stated that "The characteristic thing about these people [modern-day followers of the early Germanic religion] is that they rave about the old Germanic heroism, about dim prehistory, stone axes, spear and shield, but in reality are the greatest cowards that can be imagined. For the same people who brandish scholarly imitations of old German tin swords, and wear a dressed bearskin with bull's horns over their heads, preach for the present nothing but struggle with spiritual weapons, and run away as fast as they can from every Communist blackjack."
[edit] Hitler's mystical experience(s)
Hitler claimed that during his time served in WWI he had a religious awakening, specifically at the time he was in the hospital temporarily blinded from an enemy gas attack--October 1918.[citation needed] Another famous incident happened during that time as well; a mysterious "voice" had told him to leave a crowded dugout during a minor barrage, and he did just that. Moments later a shell fell on that particular spot. Hitler saw this experience as a message that made him believe that he is a uniquely illuminated/guided individual who has a "special" task to fulfill in his life. This experience along many others are mentioned in more detail at this link.
[edit] Hitler and the Esoteric 1923-1933
[edit] Artur Dinter
In 1927 Hitler fired the Gauleiter of Thüringen, Artur Dinter, from his post because he wanted to make too much a religion of Aryan racial purity. In 1928 Dinter was expelled from the party when he publicly attacked Hitler about this decision.[19]
[edit] Esoteric Hitlerism 1933-1945
[edit] Origin
The founder of Esoteric Hitlerism was Heinrich Himmler, who, more than any other high official in the Third Reich (including Hitler) was fascinated by Aryan (and not just Germanic) racialism and Germanic Odinism. Himmler has been claimed to have considered himself the spiritual successor or even reincarnation of Heinrich the Fowler, having established special SS rituals for the old king and returned his bones to the crypt at Quedlinburg Cathedral. Himmler even had his personal quarters at Wewelsburg castle decorated in commemoration of him.
[edit] Prayer to Hitler
In Nazism, Adolf Hitler was occasionally compared with Jesus, or revered as a savior sent by God.
A prayer recited by orphans at orphanages runs as follows:<ref>From the German Wikipedia, at [20]. </ref>
- Führer, mein Führer, von Gott mir gegeben, beschütz und erhalte noch lange mein Leben
- Du hast Deutschland errettet aus tiefster Not, Dir verdank ich mein tägliche Brot
- Führer, mein Führer, mein Glaube, mein Licht
- Führer mein Führer, verlasse mich nicht
This translates roughly as:
- Leader, my Leader, given to me by God, protect me and sustain my life for a long time
- you have rescued Germany out of deepest misery, to you I owe my daily bread
- Leader, my Leader, my belief, my light
- Leader my Leader, do not abandon me
[edit] Ahnenerbe
The Ahnenerbe Society, headed by Dr. Hermann Wirth, was the ancestral heritage branch of the SS (also called by some the Nazi Occult Bureau) was dedicated primarily to the research of proving the superiority of the Aryan race but was also involved in occult practices. Founded in 1935 by Himmler, the Society became involved in searching for Atlantis and the Holy Grail (and is believed to be the basis for the Nazi archaeologists in the Indiana Jones series of movies).[citation needed]
[edit] SS Research and expeditions
A great deal of time and resources were spent on researching or creating a popularly accepted “historical”, “cultural” and “scientific” background so the ideas about a “superior” Aryan race could prosper in the German society of the time. Mystical organizations such as the Thule Society, Schwarze Sonne, and others were created, usually connected with elite SS corps, and adopting specific rituals, initiations and beliefs.<ref name="schweikhart1952">Erich Halik (Claude Schweikhart) - 'Um Krone und Gipfel der Welt", Mensch und Schicksal 6, no. 10 (1 August 1952) pp 3-5</ref>
A German expedition to Tibet was organized in order to search for the origins of the Aryan race[citation needed]. To this end, the expedition leader, Ernst Schäfer, had his anthropologist Bruno Beger make face masks and skull and nose measurements. Another expedition was sent to the Andes.
Similar expeditions were organized in the pursuit of semi-mythical objects believed to bring power or granting special powers to their owner, such as the Holy Grail and the Spear of Destiny[citation needed].
[edit] Pendulum usage and astrology in the Third Reich
- For more information on Pendum dowsing see Pendulums for divination and dowsing.
During the second world war in Germany and Britain, occult practices and astrology, etc were utilised in the belief that they would benefit each side of the conflict, mainly by use in Germany and Britain. [21] [22] [23] In Germany, the Germanic revivalism unit of the SS employed numerous astrologers and occultists. Three of the more well known mystisists used in the Third Reich by Walter Schellenberg and ultimately Heinrich Himmler, whom had a great deal of interest in Germanic mystisism and revivalism, were Ludwig Straniak (1879-1951), Dr. Wilhelm Gutberlet, who both were pendulum users, and astrologer Wilhelm Wulff.
One of the most well known Astrologers in the Third Reich, next to Wulff, was Karl Ernst Krafft.
The use of astrology in the Third Reich, along with Nazi mysticism and pendulum dowsing, is a greatly interesting and highly regarded subject to many.[citation needed] Several books have been published on this subject alone. However, one of the most fascinating, because it is told from a first person perspective, is that of Heinrich Himmler's astrologer Wilhelm Wulff, entitled Zodiac and Swastika.
Adolf Hitler ordered the location and rescue of II Duce (Mussolini) by any means nessesary. This was done through the power of the pendulum as revealed in Peter Levenda's Unholy Alliance:
- "Nevertheless, a "Master of the Sidereal Pendulum" succeeded at last in locating Mussolini on an island west of Naples. To do this seer justice, it must be recorded that at the time Mussolini had no apparent contact with the outside world. It was, in fact, the island of Ponza to which he had been transferred at first. In other words, the "Master of the Sidereal Pendulum" had success- fully located the most famous Italian prisoner of the twentieth century ... and with no more than a decent meal, a few drinks, a good smoke, and a pendulum swinging over a map of Italy. It will be remembered that one of Hitler's closest friends was the "Master of the Sidereal Pendulum" Dr. Gutberlet. Whether or not it was this same "Master" who worked on the Mussolini problem is not revealed."
Additionally, in his book Zodiac and Swastika, Wilhelm Wulff reveals that one of his first major assignments after being arrested by the Nazis was to locate Mussolini who had disappeared after his ouster from power in 1943. Wulff claims to have provided the correct answer - about fifty miles southeast of Rome - at a time when no one else knew. According to Wulff's own account in Zodiac and Swastika, he pinpointed Mussolini's location on the same island of Ponza, which had been identified by the "Master of the Sidereal Pendulum".
Astrology and pendulum dowsing played a major role in the event.
Architect Ludwig Straniak was also employed by the German military. He had a special gift for map pendulum dowsing. Straniak would dangle a pendulum over a given map and locate things. As a test, leaders of the German Navy requested him to locate the Pocket Battleship Prinz Eugen, then at sea. The Navy provided him with charts and were reportedly amazed that he had pinpointed the warship even through it was on a completely secret mission off of the coast of Norway. This impressed the Navy leaders enough to take the workings of the occult unit of the SS more seriously.
After the war Germany was demonised and the occult seen as a Nazi practice. Post 1945 German mysticism was virtually driven underground [24]. Germanic spiritualism was revived to a large extent by Karl Spiesberger (Fratur Eratus) and by 1955 the Armanen runic system and Pendulum dowsing had once more become very much traditional in German speaking circles as it was before the war. Other notable German pendulum dowsers of which a great deal of pendulum material has been derived from are the works and practices of not on, but mainly Spiesberger and Straniak, are Dr. E. Clasen, Dr. K.E. Weiss (ß), Rud. Vöckler, Von Reichenbach, Professor Karl Bähr, Friedrich Kallenberg 1911-1934, Professor DR. Leopold Oelenheinz, and Professor Hellmut Wolff (30/3/1906-22/3/1986). [25]
Other than popular Western astrology there is also a school of thought regarding Germanic Runic Astrology and its usage in divination within the northern tradition of Odinism.

[edit] Esoteric Hitlerism Since 1945
[edit] Savitri Devi
With the fall of the Third Reich, Esoteric Hitlerism took off as Hitler, who had died at the end of the war, was now able to be deified. Savitri Devi was the first major exponent of post-war Esoteric Hitlerism (see her Hitlerian Esotericism and the Tradition [26]), and connected Hitler’s Aryan ideology to that of the pro-independence Indians (specifically Hindus) such as Subhas Chandra Bose. For her, the swastika was an especially important symbol, as it symbolized the Aryan unity amongst the Hindus and Germans (and was also a symbol of good fortune for the Tibetans). Devi integrated Nazism into a broader cyclical framework of Hindu history, and called Hitler an avatar of Vishnu (Kalki) and the “Man against Time,” having an ideal vision of returning his Aryan people to an earlier, more perfect time, and also having the practical wherewithal to fight the destructive forces forestalling his vision from fruition--a combination of the best traits of Akhenaton (a visionary, but ineffectual) and Genghis Khan (violent, but selfish).
[edit] Miguel Serrano
The next major figure in Esoteric Hitlerism is Miguel Serrano, a Chilean diplomat. He wrote both The Golden Ribbon--Esoteric Hitlerism and Adolf Hitler, the Last Avatar.
He believes that Hitler was in Shambhala, an underground centre in Antarctica (formerly at the North Pole and Tibet), where he was in contact with the Hyperborean gods and from whence he would someday emerge with a fleet of UFOs to lead the forces of light (the Hyperboreans, sometimes associated with Vril) over the forces of darkness (inevitably including, for Serrano, the Jews) in a last battle and inaugurating a Fourth Reich. (Serrano follows the Cathar Gnostics in identifying the evil creator of this world, the Demiurge with Jehovah, the god of Judaism [Gnostics believe the Demiurge is evil because he created the world to entrap our souls in matter.])
He also connects the Aryans and their Hyperborean gods to the Sun and to the esoteric Black Sun and the Allies and the Jews to the Moon, and also had a special place in his ideology for the SS, who, in their quest to recreate the ancient race of Aryan god-men, he thought were above morality and therefore justified in their seemingly cruel deeds.
[edit] Tempelhofgesellschaft
The Tempelhofgesellschaft ("Temple Society") was founded in Vienna in the early 1990s by Norbert Jurgen-Ratthofer and Ralft Ettl. Teaching a form of the Gnostic religion called Marcionism, like all Gnostics, they identify the evil creator of this world, the Demiurge with Jehovah, the god of Judaism. They distribute pamphlets claiming that the Aryan race originally came to Atlantis from the star Aldebaran (this information is based on "ancient Sumerian manuscripts"). They maintain that the Aryans from Aldebaran derive their power from the vril energy of the Black Sun. They teach that since the Aryan race is of extraterrestrial origin, it has a divine mission to dominate all the other races.
[edit] Mysticism in modern Neo-Nazism
Mystic influences often appear in modern Nazi music, particularly references to artifacts such as the Spear of Longinus. On the other hand, some northern European neopagan organisations and groups have stated clearly that Neo-Nazism and its Ásatrú connections are certainly not to be considered common or ‘mainstream’ with their adherents. Organisations such as the Theods, the Ásatrúarfélagid, and the Viðartrúar are notable in their disavowal of any connections.
[edit] Nazi mysticism and modern pseudoscience
The writings of Miguel Serrano, Julius Evola, Savitri Devi, and other proponents of Nazi Mysticism have spawned numerous later works connecting Aryan master race beliefs and Nazi escape scenarios with enduring conspiracy theories about reptilian humanoids, hollow earth civilizations, and shadowy new world orders. Perhaps the strongest proof of this last statement lies in the words of America’s ex-president Franklin D. Roosevelt from his famous Lend Lease speech on March 15th 1941-in opposition to the Nazi’s new world order: “They seek to establish systems of government based on the regimentation of all human beings by a handful of individual rulers who have seized power by force. Yes, these men and their hypnotized followers call this a new order. It is not new and it is not order.."[27]. In addition, the book Arktos: The Polar Myth in Science, Symbolism, and Nazi Survival, Hypnerotomachia Poliphili scholar Joscelyn Godwin discusses pseudoscientific theories regarding surviving Nazi elements in Antarctica. Arktos is notable for its scholarly approach and examination of many sources currently unavailable elsewhere in English-language translation.
Godwin and other authors including Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke have also discussed Hitler’s purported Antarctic reptilian companions (sometimes seen to be Hyperboreans) as well as the connections between Nazi Mysticism and Vril energy, the hidden Shambhala and Agartha civilizations, and underground UFO bases.
[edit] Concept of "Nazi mysticism" disputed by some scholars
Some scholars argue that the interest of Hitler and other Nazis in paganism and the occult has been overstated and exaggerated.
Authors Stephen A. McNallen, Dr. Stephen E. Flowers Ph.D. (author of The Secret King), and Michael Moynihan have argued that Nazi mysticism is a distortion and misrepresentation of Odinism. [28] [29] [30]
The use of runic symbology, the Germanic mystical revival, the existence of official Nazi government departments for Germanic pagan revivalism and study, however, lends credence to the idea that there was a mystical component to Nazism.
In an article entitled "The Wiligut Saga" which features in the book, The Secret King, Adolf Schleipfer points out the differences between Wiligut's beliefs and those generally accepted within Odinism.
Stephen A. McNallen goes as far as to say that "...the compelling reason for you to own The Secret King is to use it to defend Asatru from the lie that "Hitler was a pagan" or that "Asatruar trace their roots to Nazi Germany." The Secret King proves conclusively that this is not the case. It is a powerful weapon for the truth." <ref>Secret King review by Stephen A. McNallen [31].</ref>
In 2006 Dr. Stephen E. Flowers held an 80 minute lecture on this subject at a Woodharrow Institute convention. <ref>The Myth and Reality of Occultism in the Third Reich' lecture by Dr. Stephen E. Flowers, November 12th, 2006. [32].</ref>
[edit] Quotes
- "... Far better to be Pagan than Christian. Far better to worship the certainties of nature and ancestors than an unseen deity and its bogus representatives on earth. For a Volk which honoured it's ancestors, and sought to honour itself, would always produce children , and so that Volk would have eternal life" - Heinrich Himmler - Robin Lumsden, Himmler's Black Order, A History of the SS, 1923-1945 (Stroud: Sutton Pub, 1997), p.117.
- "It seems to me that nothing would be more foolish than to re-establish the worship of Wotan [father of the gods in the German lore]. Our old mythology ceased to be viable when Christianity implanted itself. Nothing dies unless it is moribund." - Adolf Hitler, Hitler's Table Talk, page 61, translated by Norman Cameron and R.H. Stevens, 1953
- "The characteristic thing about these people [modern-day followers of the early Germanic religion] is that they rave about the old Germanic heroism, about dim prehistory, stone axes, spear and shield, but in reality are the greatest cowards that can be imagined. For the same people who brandish scholarly imitations of old German tin swords, and wear a dressed bearskin with bull's horns over their heads, preach for the present nothing but struggle with spiritual weapons, and run away as fast as they can from every Communist blackjack." - Chapter 12 of Mein Kampf
- Hitler himself declared that the future "must not take the form of a revival of the worship of Wotan." - Adolf Hitler [33]
- "The Führer is deeply religious, though completely anti-Christian; he views Christianity as a symptom of decay. Rightly so. It is a branch of the Jewish race."—Joseph Goebbels, in his diary, December 28, 1939.
- "Christianity is the prototype of Bolshevism: the mobilisation by the Jew of the masses of slaves with the object of undermining society." —Hitler 1941 [citation needed]
- "My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter." —Hitler, on his belief in the non-Jewish, anti-materialistic, 'Ario-heroic' spirit of Jesus, later distorted by exoteric Christianity [citation needed]
- "The German people, especially the youth, have learned once again to value people racially-they have once again turned away from Christian theories, from Christian teaching which has ruled Germany for more than a thousand years and caused the racial decay of the German people, and almost its racial death." —Heinrich Himmler May 22 1936 at a speech in Brocken, Germany.
[edit] In entertainment and educational media
Misconstrued ideas of the Ahnenerbe and Nazi mysticism are common in fantasy fiction, and they have become part of the background of conspiracy theories - largely because of confusion between themselves and the Thule Society, or even the Vril.

[edit] In literary fiction
- Occult-obsessed Nazis have long been a staple of superhero comic books:
- In the 1980s, DC Comics writer Roy Thomas invented a retcon to explain why Superman, the Spectre, and the Justice Society of America had been unable to defeat the Nazis: Hitler possessed the Spear of Destiny (Spear of Longinus) which gave him magical control over any superheroes who ventured into his territory.
- In the Marvel Comics comic book series The Invaders, Thor was summoned by Hitler to battle that superhero group. However, Thor soon realized he was being used, and returned to Asgard.
- The Hellboy comic books and movie also portray the Nazis and the Thule Society as powerful occult figures; in that universe, Hitler lived until 1958 and waged a “secret war” from South America after the collapse of the Third Reich.
- David Brin’s short story “Thor Meets Captain America” and graphic novel The Life Eaters center on this theme, as well.
- The Danger Girl comic book features as its villains a modern-day Nazi group called 'The Hammer', which intends to use occult artifacts from Atlantis to establish a Fourth Reich.
- James Herbert's novel, The Spear, deals with a neo-Nazi cult in Britain and an international conspiracy which includes a right-wing US general and a sinister arms dealer, and their obsession with and through the occult with resurrecting Himmler.
- Katherine Kurtz’s novel Lammas Night presents Nazis as powerful magicians who must be opposed by British witches.
- The villains of Clive Cussler's novel Atlantis Found are modern Nazis who operate out of a secret base in Antarctica who are linked to the ancient culture of Atlantis.
- The Island of Thule is an important location in the Silver Age Sentinels superhero role playing game and collections of short stories based upon the game. It was raised from the Atlantic Ocean by Kreuzritter (“Crusader”), a Nazi superhuman who wears a mystical suit of armor made by a long-disappeared Aryan culture.
- Kouta Hirano's manga series Hellsing features Millennium, a group of Nazis with the purpose of creating a reich that will last a thousand years (in accordance with Hitler's vision). This organization is heavily mystical, including among its number a werewolf, a catboy, and an army of 1,000 vampires known as the Letztes Bataillon ("Last Battalion"). It is led by a former SS officer whose true intention is the pursuit of absolute war.
- James Twinning - The Black Sun [37]
- Charles Stross features the fictitious Ahnenerbe activities in his The Atrocity Archives
[edit] Video games
The Delta Green sourcebook for the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game claims the Ahnenerbe spawned another organization, "Karotechia," which practiced ritual magic.
- The computer game Wolfenstein 3D and its sequel, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, featured plotlines involving Nazi obsession with the occult. It portrays an organization (SS Paranormal Division) based on the Ahnenerbe practicing occult rituals and magic.
- The video game BloodRayne involves a plotline concerning the Thule society and its members, and features a lot of in-game Thule society imagery.
- A fictional division of the Ahnenerbe, the Karotechia, has a prominet place in the mythology of the Delta Green setting for the role playing game Call of Cthulhu, and stories based upon the setting. In it, the survivors of the Karotechia, a group founded to study occult tomes and conduct magical research, live on in South America, training sorcerers and cultists to found the Fourth Reich, all under the sway of Hitler's ghost (actually Nyarlathotep in disguise).
- In the game Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb there is a castle in which there are Gestapo agents searching an occult castle in Prague for items of Occult value.
[edit] Movies
- Nazi occult-hunters have been featured in the Indiana Jones films. The Ahnenerbe organization was the basis for the Nazi archaeologist villains in Steven Spielberg's "Indiana Jones" films. They involve several plots related to Nazi mysticism, especially as related to archaeology.
- The Thule Society (including some of their most known members) plays an important role in the Fullmetal Alchemist movie.
- Hellboy touches upon a fictional group of mysticist Nazis bent on summoning forces from other dimensions.
- Invincible (2001 film)
- Unholy [38]

[edit] In-between
- Hans-Jürgen Syberberg's Hitler - Ein Film aus Deutschland (Hitler, A Film From Germany), 1977. Originally presented on German television, this is a 7-hour work in 4 parts : The Grail; A German Dream; The End Of Winter's Tale; We, Children Of Hell. The director uses documentary clips, photographic backgrounds, puppets, theatrical stages, and other elements from almost all the visual arts, with the "actors" addressing directly the audience/camera, in order to approach and expand on this most taboo subject of European history of the 20th century.
