This post will probably be long but it will detail some of the occult teachings of the Nazi party. Everyone knows the Nazi's were ass wild and it was one of the most horrific time periods in human history but there is a deeper and darker side to the story that many might not be aware of.
Helena Blavatsky, above, was the founder of an occultic religion called Theosophy. She wrote several occult books and in one of them, called The Secret Doctrine, she wrote that the lost continent of Atlantis produced a race of super human giants known as Aryans that were supposedly of Persian decent.
Guido Von List
A man named Guido von List took Blavatsky's idea and Germanized it, linking the Aryan master race with Germans rather than the Persians that Blavatsky linked them to. During this time period the world saw the rise of what is called spiritualism which taught that the living could contact the dead. This also includes many of the things we see today like palm reading, seances, tarot cards, astrology, etc.
von Liebenfels
The occultist Blavatsky wrote the history of the Aryans, Von List Germanized the idea, and then a man named Jorg Lanz von Liebenfels, picture above, targeted the Jews as the enemy of the Aryans because they were a "lower race", beast-like, and possibly demonic. He got this idea in an Abby that showed a stone with a nobleman stepping on the back of a beast. In this way Von Liebanfels became obsessed with the idea that noble and higher races must suppress the lower races and one the ways to do this he said was to sterilize them. He said they were dangerous because they didn't have to take up arms to defeat you, the weapon they used was simply existing and that they would breed you out of existence.
Von Liebenfels published a circulation in Vienna called Ostara, who was the German goddess of Spring, which detailed these ideas. Hitler was a reader of Ostara and this is where Hitler got the idea of the Aryan race and its need to destroy the lower races for the sake of racial purity. Hitler recalls in Mein Kampf that by the time he left Vienna he had already established his world view that the Jews had to be destroyed one way or another. All these ideas are rooted
in occult writings and traditions. This would have been around 1913, long before he rose to power.
Thule Society
The legendary Aryan homeland was called Thule. After the Germans surrendered in WWI some anti-semites formed a secret society called the Thule society. Their main concerns are politics, occultism, and the Jews. The Thule Society becomes the beginnings of the Nazi party. They start by creating the German Workers Party. The German army, suspicious of the Thule Society send a soldier to spy on the Thule society, that soldier was Adolf Hitler. Hitler finds that the Thule Society shares the same ideas as he has and so he joins the German Workers Party which they later changed the named to the National Socialist German Workers Party, Nazi for short. They later use this as their election symbol.
After Hitler's failed coup attempt he was thrown in jail. Hess below.
Rudolf Hess, Hitler's right hand man and second in command, was deep into occultism like astrology. Hitler met Hess in jail after a failed coup attempt on the German government after WWI. This is also when he wrote Mein Kampf which was inspired by his occultist mentors. He even dedicates the book to Dietrich Eckart, an extremely anti-Semitic in the Thule Society. He gets out of jail nine months later and goes right back to organizing the Nazi party and spreading ideas of the Aryan race.
Heinrich Himmler, above, was in charge of the SS. He was a psychopathic mass murderer and convinced he was a reincarnated ancient king, Henry the Fowler. Fowler was called this because he was handling his birds when the messenger arrived to tell him he would be king. Henry the Fowler is considered to be the first Germanic king. Himmler held events at the grave of Henry the Fowler and when he married he and his wife bought a poultry farm.Himmler was one of the most powerful and feared men on earth and he was genuinely a nutter.
Himmler then founded the Ahnenerbe which was he German research institute which would prove the superiority of the German Aryan race. They used bad science to spread the idea of the Aryan race not only to the SS soldiers but also to the German people. He chooses Wewelsburg Castle as his headquarters for his occult religion based on Arianism. This castle also had occult roots and was used to torture witches during the inquisition.
Wewelsburg Castle, HQ of Heinrich Himmler and site of Inquisition witch torture as well as many occult practices and ceremonies.
The SS soldiers would wear these Wewelsburg SS Deathshead pins.
Himmler turned Wewelsburg Castle into an occult Camelot based on the myth of King Arthur. His knights of the round table were his 12 highest ranking SS members and they would sit around a table and contemplate and meditate on world domination. In this castle Himmler had a swastika stylized like a sun wheel, to the Thule society it was the black sun, with SS victory runes all over it.
Himmler's occult and most trusted advisor was Karl Maria Wiligut. Wiligut convinced Himmler that he had a mystical psychic connection with past German generals, kings, and heroes. Wiligut was a student of the runes, which were thought to have magical powers in occult circles. Wiligut had been diagnosed as a Schizophrenic and a megalomaniac and he was basically the high priest of the SS. He was in charge of many of the occult rituals that take place at this castle.
Karl Maria Wiligut
The SS Deathshead symbol and the SS rings, among other things, were designed by Wiligut as well as Himmler's hand carved throne chair that has all the magic runes carved into it. The SS had two major branches and were considered to be an army within an army. One branch carried out the ruthlessness of the Deathshead and the other branch carried out the final solution on the Jews. All of this headed up by occult teachings and two madmen, Himmler and Wiligut.One believed he was the reincarnted first king of the Germans and the other was a schizophrenic who studied magic German runes.
Wiligut was an expert in the Germanic magic runes and below is the throne chair plus the Deathshead rings with some of the runes shown.
Hitler came to power on January 30 which was a pagan holiday, one of the eight pagan Sabbaths and he ended his life on a pagan holiday, april 30th, which was a pagan Sabbath called Beltane, which means the night when witches gather. The occult inspired Nazi empire both began and ended on pagan Sabbath days.
