Nazis and The Occult

By Crusader1307

 The Evil that was Nazi Germany has gone down in History as one of Mankind s most wretched and perverse Governments. In it s relatively short history, it s Leaders capitalized on a War weary and despondent populace to seize power and attempt to establish a perfect Society of so-called Supermen , well worthy of ruling the entirety of The Planet. Supported mostly by pseudo-science and cruel genetic laws aimed at creating this World Germany would declare War on most of The World and be responsible for the near extinction of an entire race of peoples in their insane quest.

It goes beyond saying that such Leaders would place great emphasis on mysticism and The Occult. Seen as justification and explanation for their goals, most members of The Nazi German hierarchy were followers of a Group known as The Thule Society (or The Society for Germanic Antiquities ). Their goal to use ancient magic to influence The World and later The War which they started. German culture was replete in ancient mysticism for Eons. Paganism is a variety of forms held dominance over German Culture until Christianity took hold. Still, many clung to the old ways . While much of this was legend and myth, it still maintained a dark place in the superstitions of many.

While some Historians debate German Leader Adolf Hitler s full role in the formation of The Thule, many cite his complete involvement and participation. From 1928 until 1944, he funded many expeditions in search of proof of Aryan superiority and the various artifacts of old said to bring about great power to Ancient Rulers. These quests have become rich ground for many books and movies over the last 50 years. Such items of power being The Ark of The Covenant, The Spear of Longinus to name a very few. While many in The Thule Society may very well have been members out of their perceived loyalty to The Nazi Party (and to Hitler himself), most no doubt did not take The Society serious. Only a select few did often participating in perverse and strange rituals (the outcome of which is still speculation). The following limited series of Articles will explore in some depth the many beliefs and practices of not only The Thule Society, but the many often fantastic claims that they brought about.
