Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Thule Society - Rudolf von Sebottendorf

Rudolf von Sebottendorf was deeply influenced by Sufi mysticism, other Eastern philosophies, and in particular, the writings of Madame Blavatsky. He used Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine to launch his own recreation of ancient Germanic myth, positing a coming historical moment in which he theorized that the Aryan race would be restored to prior glories by the appearance of a race of Supermen. Von Sebottendorf eventually became the prime mover behind the Thule Society, which was one of the most important precursors of t ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Mysticism - Mysticism and syncretism

Mystics of different traditions report similar experiences of a world usually outside conventional perception, although not all forms of mysticism abandon knowledge perceived through normal means. Based on extraordinary perception, mystics may believe that one can find true unity of religion and philosophy in mystical experience. Elements of mysticism exist in most religions and in many philosophies. Some mystics perceive a common thread of influence in all mystic philosophies that they see as traceable back to a shared source. The Ve ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Nazism - Holy sites

As, especially after World War II, Nazism became for many of its followers a spiritual path akin to a religion, it naturally had some sites of pilgrimage, which one might call "holy sites". Savitri Devi visited many of them during her pilgrimage in 1953. Berchtesgaden, home of the Berghof. Braunau am Inn, birthplace of Adolf Hitler. Feldherrnhalle, site of, the end of, the failed Munich Putsch Leonding, where the parents of Adolf Hitler were buried. Linz, where Hitler went to school. ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Nazism - Key elements of the Nazi ideology

Nazism - Nazism and romanticism. According to Bertrand Russell, Nazism comes from a different tradition from that of either liberalism or Marxism. Thus, to understand values of Nazism, it is necessary to explore this connection, without trivializing the movement as it was in its peak years in the 1930s and dismissing it as little more than racism. Many historians say that the anti-Semitic element, which did not exist in the sister fascism movements in Italy and Spain, was adopted by Hitler to gain populari ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Mysticism - On the difficulty of defining mysticism

Readers frequently encounter seemingly open-ended statements among studies of mysticism, throughout its history, for example in Taoist thought and in studies of Kabbalah. In his work, Kabbalah, Gershom Scholem, a prominent 20th century scholar of that field, stated: The Kabbalah is not a single system with basic principles which can be explained in a simple and straightforward fashion, but consists rather of a multiplicity of different approaches, widely separated from on ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Mysticism - Subjectivity and mysticism

Theistic, pantheistic, and panentheistic classical pantheist/cosmotheist metaphysical systems most often understand mystical experience as individual communion with a god or goddess. One can receive these very subjective experiences as visions, dreams, revelations, prophecies, and so forth. Thomas Aquinas, a Christian mystic of the 13th century, defined it as cognitio dei experimentalis (experiential knowledge of God). In Catholicism the mystical experience is not sought for its own sake, and ...

The term Perennial Philosophy, coined by Leibniz and popularized by Aldous Huxley, relates to what some take to be the mystic's primary concern: [W]ith the one, divine reality substantial to the manifold world of things and lives and minds. But the nature of this one reality is such that it cannot be directly or immediately apprehended except by those who have chosen to fulfill certain conditions, making themselves lo ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Wewelsburg - Early History

The Wewelsburg was built from 1603 to 1609 by the Prince of Paderborn. It lies in the quarter of the same name of the city Büren in the Paderborn district, near what was then believed to be the site of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. Legend suggests that it held thousands of accused witches during the 17th century, who were tortured and executed within its walls. In 1802, the castle fell to the ownership of the Prussian state - and 13 years later fell v ...

On June 29th, 1950 the castle was reopened as a museum and youth hostel. In 1973, a two-year project was begun to restore the North Tower, and in 1995 more restoration work was done on the castle, where Wulff Brebeck was serving as the museum's curator in 1999. Michael Aquino of the Temple of Set reportedly visited the castle a great deal The castle seems to be one of the major sources of inspiration for the Wolfenstein games, such as Return to C ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Ahnenerbe - Travels Operations and Expeditions

Archealogical expeditions were organized and sent to Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Poland and Greece, as well as the region of Kafiristan, and the Channel Islands. Not an official expedition, Ahnenerbe officials were reportedly sent to Brazil in 1943 with the task of 'procuring' the crystal skull that was reportedly found in a Maya ruin of Lubaantun by F.A. Mitchell-Hedges. The agents were arrested after trying to infiltrate and rob a Brazilian museum storing the artifact. This account has not been corroborated by independent sources however, a ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Thule Society - Conspiracy theories

Like the Ahnenerbe section of the SS, and due to its occult background, the Thule Society has become the center of many conspiracy theories concerning Nazi Germany. Such theories include the creation of spacecraft and secret weapons. Because the group helped Hitler with his speaking skills, some have even suggested that the society somehow granted him magic powers that contributed to his later success. It is also claimed that Thule-Gesellschaft possessed a psychic named Maria Orsic, who convinced them that the Aryan race didn't originate on the Earth, but came from Alde ...

Prominent members of the Thule Gesellschaft were Dietrich Eckart, Gottfried Feder, Hans Frank, Karl Harrer, Rudolf Hess, Alfred Rosenberg, and Julius Streicher. Adolf Hitler was not a member. He was more like a "visiting brother". Other members were Karl Fiehler, Michel Frank, Heinrich Jost, Wolfgang Pongratz, Wilhelm Laforce, Johann Ott, Hans Riemann and Max Seselmann. Two well-known aristocrats in the group consisted of Countess Heila von Westarp, a young woman who functioned as secretary, and Prince Gustav von Thurn und Taxis (both of these were among hostages abducted and executed by the illegal ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Return to Castle Wolfenstein - Overview

Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a remake of sorts of the early, seminal first-person shooter, Wolfenstein 3D. However, with the advances in graphics technology and gameplay design since the original game, without the name and the occasional in-game references, it would be unrecognisable as a remake. It features a story-based single player campaign (taking up many of the themes from the original game), as well as a team-based networked multiplayer version which features different character classes that must work together ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Ahnenerbe - Involvement of German soldiers

In 2002, Ukraine announced the discovery of a mass-grave containing dozens of Nazi soldiers in the southern region of the country. Some had been trepanned, others had their spinal cords sawn lengthwise, or were missing their skulls. Pravda reported it to be the aftermath of an Ahnenerbe experiment, although no further information was given.[6] (And it should be pointed out that Pravda has run several incorrect stories abou ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Ahnenerbe - End of the War

In August 1943, Himmler relocated the Ahnenerbe headquarters from Wewelsburg castle in Büren, to Waischenfeld to avoid the danger of Allied bombing campaigns. Waischenfeld finally fell in April 1945, at the close of the war. On 27 June 1944, Rascher was replaced by Ploetner as head of the Ahnenerbe Institute for Military Scientific Research at Dachau. ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Ahnenerbe - Fantasy vs. reality

Misconstrued ideas of the Ahnenerbe are common in fantasy fiction, and the they have become part of the background of conspiracy theories - largely because of confusion between themselves and Vril, or more commonly the Thule Society. The Ahnenerbe organization appears to have been the basis for the Nazi archaeologist villains in Steven Spielberg's "Indiana Jones" films. In the Delta Green (a sourcebook for the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game), Ahnenerbe is said to have spawned another organization, known as "Karotechia," which actually practiced ritual magic. The video game Return to Castle Wolfenstein also portrays the ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Nazi symbolism - Runic letters

The letters of the runic alphabet have been used by Nazism and neo-Nazi groups that associate themselves with Germanic traditions, mainly the Sigel, Eihwaz, Tyr (c.f. Thor Steinar), Odal (see Odalism) and Algiz runes. The fascination that runes seem to have exerted on the Nazis can be traced to the occult and völkisch author Guido von List, one of the important figures in Germanic mysticism and runic revivalism in the late 19th and early 20th century. In 1908, List published in Das Geheimnis der Runen ("The Secret of the Runes ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Persecution of Heathens - Nazi Persecution

Although far less hostile to Pagan beliefs than to Judaism, the Nazis was indeed negative to all alternative religions and only German Christianity was allowed. Throughout the Third Reich and lands that came under Nazi rule, Nazi totalitarianism demanded that all religious activity conform to the desires of Nazi leadership. Some adherents of the Germanische Glaubens-Gemeinschaft ended up in concentration camps. This ran counter to currents of Nazi mysticism that played an important part in the early times of Nazism. This change of focus dur ...

Nazi mysticism: Encyclopedia II - Ahnenerbe - History

Much of their research was later believed to extend beyond pseudoscience into occultism. In total, the Ahnenerbe was divided into 50 sections, including sections covering Celtic studies, the Externsteine rock formation, Scandinavian mythology, runic symbolism, and the World Ice Theory of Hans Horbiger. In 1936, Himmler convinced Otto Rahn to join the group by promising near-unlimited funding for his Grail search, which would become one of the best-known aspects of the Ahnenerbe in post-war times. Unfortunately Rahn committed suicide the following year amidst rumours of homosexuality, after ...
