A critical history of the roots of Nazi occultism and its
continuing influence • Explores the occult influences on various
Nazi figures, including Adolf Hitler, Albert Speer, Rudolf Hess,
Alfred Rosenberg, and Heinrich Himmler • Examines the foundations
of the movement laid in the 19th century and continuing in the
early 20th century • Explains the rites and runology of National
Socialism, the occult dimensions of Nazi science, and how many of
the sensationalist descriptions of Nazi “Satanic” practices
were initiated by Church propaganda after the war In this
comprehensive examination of Nazi occultism, Stephen E. Flowers,
Ph.D., offers a critical history and analysis of the occult and
esoteric streams of thought active in the Third Reich and the
growth of occult Nazism at work in movements today. Sharing the
culmination of five decades of research into primary and secondary
sources, many in the original German, Flowers looks at the
symbolic, occult, scientific, and magical traditions that became
the foundations from which the Nazi movement would grow. He details
the influences of Theosophy, Volkism, and the work of the Brothers
Grimm as well as the impact of scientific culture of the time.
Looking at the early 20th century, he describes the impact of Guido
von List, Lanz von Liebenfels, Rudolf von Sebottendorf, Friedrich
Hielscher, and others. Examining the period after the Nazi Party
was established in 1919, and more especially after it took power in
1933, Flowers explores the occult influences on key Nazi figures,
including Adolf Hitler, Albert Speer, Rudolf Hess, and Heinrich
Himmler. He analyzes Hitler’s usually missed references to
magical techniques in Mein Kampf, revealing his adoption of occult
methods for creating a large body of supporters and shaping the
thoughts of the masses. Flowers also explains the rites and
runology of National Socialism, the occult dimensions of Nazi
science, and the blossoming of Nazi Christianity. Concluding with a
look at the modern mythology of Nazi occultism, Flowers critiques
postwar Nazi-related literature and unveils the presence of
esoteric Nazi myths in modern occult and political circles.
