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. In his 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 man ...

Nazi mysticism is a Völkisch movement initiation with roots in the Thule society and theosophy, as well as the ideas of Arthur de Gobineau. Guido von List and Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels were important figures early on, with significant events after World War II being the Artgemeinschaft of Jürgen Rieger and the Armanenorden founded by Adolf Schleipfer in 1976. High ranking Nazi officials such as Heinrich Himmler, Rudolf Hess, and R. Walther Darré are known to have been interested in mysticism and the paranormal. Hitler himself seems to have ha ...

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 ...

Later on an Institute for Functional Research in Military Science (Institut für Wehrwissenschaftliche Zweckforschung) was set up within the Ahnenerbe Society. During the Nuremberg Trials, Dr. Friedrich Hielscher testified that Sievers had initially been repulsed at Himmler's idea of expanding the Ahnenerbe to human experimentation in 1942, and that he had "no desire whatsoever to participate in these." (v:II pg:37) Wolfram Sievers, the manager of the Ahnenerbe Society, became the director of the Institute. Under his leadership ...

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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

According to these myths, the flying saucer (Flugscheibe) and rocket craft models were produced by the SS Military Technical Branch E-IV of the Nazi "military science division". These "interplanetary" flying crafts are said to be the vehicles in which the Nazis managed to land and colonise the Moon along with Mars: The first of the crafts were designed by Viktor Schauberger who modelled the Repulsin A & B, a discoid craft that functioned on a vortex motor.[2][3] The Rud ...

Vladimir Terziski believes he has proven the existence of a lunar atmosphere, as well as the presence of water and vegetation on the Moon. He also claims space suits are not needed on the Moon, that the Germans constructed their lunar headquarters by tunneling under the lunar surface and by the end of the war had established a small Nazi research base. According to Terziski the Germans continued their space effort from the Antarctic colony of ...

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 claims that “Aryan” peoples originate from interstellar deities who bred by electricity, while “lower” races were a result of inbreeding between apes and humans.

The Nazi party actively discouraged certain mystical secret societies, in fact interning, and sometimes executing, a number of high-ranking mystics in Europe, particularly members of the Freemasons and Rosicrucians. It is said that Aleister Crowley and Gurdjieff sought contact with Hitler, but actual contact is unconfirmed. Hitler would later go on to reject many German mystics, openly ridiculing them, particularly practitioners of Freemasonry, Theosophy and Anthropo ...

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, Vril Society and others were created, usually connected with elite SS corps, and adopting specific rituals, initiations and beliefs. Expeditions in Tibet, Nepal, Greece, the Arctic, and Neuschwabenland in Antarctica wer ...

The origin of the Aryan race, the Teutons generally, and the Germanic peoples specifically, the putative superiority of said Aryans over other races, and what they claimed were the unique circumstances of their origin, are all key concepts. Various locations, such as Atlantis, Thule, Hyperborea, Shambhala and others are suggested as the precise location of this original society of Übermenschen. Another key belief is that this Herrenrasse (master race) had been weakened through interbreeding with those they thoug ...
