Publisher's Synopsis
Occultism in the Third Reich is a widely discussed topic. However, it goes beyond the "Spear of Destiny," expeditions to Shambhala, secret SS rituals at Wewelsburg Castle, and the use of occult practices to achieve world domination. The story of the rise of the Third Reich serves as a dark and tragic example of how a "world of spirits, myths, and magic" can profoundly influence political decision-making, shaping the ideology of an entire modern state.
The race of the Atlanteans, the Hollow Earth, Aryanism, extraterrestrials, miracle weapons, the cult of the race of giants, and many other occult theories all played a crucial role in shaping the ideology of Nazism. These fantastical ideas, rooted in mysticism and pseudo-science, were central to the regime's vision of world domination and the creation of a new "superior" race. From the ancient myth of Atlantis to the belief in advanced extraterrestrial beings, the Nazis sought to weave these theories into their narrative of racial purity, power, and divine destiny.The primary goal of the theurgic Nazism promoted by the regime was to create a new race of demigods based on Aryanism - specifically, "racially pure" Aryan men and women. This vision relied on eugenics, selective breeding (such as the Lebensborn program), and the annihilation of Germany's perceived enemies - particularly the Jews. Yet their ambitions went further. Who was Hitler - a psychopath, a maniac, or perhaps a medium? What role did the myth of Atlantis, the mystical power of Longinus' spear, and the enigmatic Shambhala play in shaping fascist ideology? In this book, we explore how magic, occultism, and esotericism served as tools to advance Hitler's dark mission.
