The Occult Roots of Nazism : Secret Aryan Cults and Their Influence on Nazi Ideology

Sixty years after the defeat of the Third Reich, the complexities of Nazi ideology are still being unravelled. This enormously influential book provides the first serious account of these ideological origins, shedding light on a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of history.

The Influence of Occult and Millenarian Sects

• The book demonstrates how Nazism was influenced by powerful occult and millenarian sects that thrived in Germany and Austria at the turn of the century.
• These sects, principally the Ariosophists, promoted doctrines of:
  • Popular nationalism
  • 'Aryan' racism
  • Occultism

Their advocacy of German world-rule was supported by these ideas, which later filtered through to nationalist-racist groups associated with the infant Nazi party. Over time, these ideologies exerted a strong influence on Himmler's SS, manifesting in ways that had terrifying consequences.

The fantasies and millennial visions of these occult sects laid the roots for a catastrophic period in history. This bizarre and fascinating story serves as a warning—one that contains lessons we cannot afford to ignore.
