The Occult Roots of Nazism, by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke

"Science," the Greek word for knowledge, when appended to the word "political," creates what seems like an oxymoron. For who could claim to know politics? More complicated than any game, most people who play it become addicts and die without understanding what they were addicted to. The rest of us suffer under their malpractice as our "leaders." A truer case of the blind leading the blind could not be found. Plumb the depths of confusion here.

APPENDIX C: The History of Ariosophy

BETWEEN January 1929 and June 1930 a long essay by Lanz appeared in serial form in the Zeitschrift fur Geistes- und Wissenschaftsreform. 'Die Geschich te der Ariosophie' claimed to trace the history of the ariosophical racial religion and its opponents from earliest times up until the present. This account provides a graphical account of Lanz's neo-manichaean conception of the world, inasmuch as he attempted to identify all historical agents as being within one or other of two eschatological camps, working respectively for good or evil, light and darkness, order and chaos.

According to Lanz, the earliest recorded ancestors of the present 'arioheroic' race were the Atlanteans, who had lived on a continent situated in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean. [1] They were supposedly descended from the original divine Theozoa with electromagnetic sensory organs and superhuman powers. Catastrophic floods eventually submerged their continent in about 8000 BC and the Atlanteans migrated eastwards in two groups. The Northern Atlanteans streamed towards the British Isles, Scandinavia, and Northern Europe, while the Southern Atlanteans migrated across Western Africa to Egypt and Babylonia, where they founded the antique civilizations of the Near East. The ariosophical cult was thus introduced to Asia, where the idolatrous beast-cults of miscegenation had flourished. [2]

Lanz claimed that the racial religion had been actively preached and practised in the ancient world. He asserted that Moses, Orpheus, Pythagoras, Plato, and Alexander the Great had been its champions. The laws of Moses and Plato's esteem for the aristocratic principle, and his provision for a caste of priest-kings in The Republic, proved them Ariosophists. Lanz conflated the writings of these ancient thinkers into a monolithic ariosophical tradition, which focused on the famous library at Alexandria, which allegedly housed a magnificent collection of ariosophical scriptures. Scholars and priests from allover the world were said to have come here to study the old papyri of the Southern Atlanteans; here the Old Testament (a fundamental ariosophical text) was edited from scattered chronicles discovered in Palestine; a college of priest-kings attached to the library spread the racist gnosis through missionaries as far as China. The entire Hellenistic world was thus supposed to be familiar with Ariosophy before the advent of Christ-Frauja. The coming of Frauja and his establishment of the Church unleashed-so it was maintained -- a new wave of ariosophical missionary activity in the world. [3]

The Germans entered the ariosophical tradition as a result of the missionary activities of Wulfila (c. 311-83). Wulfila translated the Bible into the Gothic language and carried the gospel to the Germanic tribes which had settled on the Balkan peninsula and beyond the River Danube. He had also been a partisan of the Arian heresy (so named after the theologian Arius of Alexandria). Lanz claimed that Wulfilia had actually preached the Aryan racial religion to the Germanic tribes. The suppression of the Arian heresy was interpreted as a victory for those devoted to the beast-cults. Lanz angrily charged these pagans with the defacement of the famous codex of the Gothic Bible. Because most of its racist passages had been excised, the Germans were permitted to neglect those strict eugenic observances, which would have guaranteed their transformation into god-men. [4] Lanz wrote five Luzerner Briefe numbers about the supposedly suppressed writings of Wulfila, together with a lexicon which provided a key to the hidden meaning of his surviving text. [5]

Despite the suppression of the Arian heresy and the failure of the Goths to realize the racial parousia within their extensive sixth-century empire, Ariosophy was fostered by new historical agents. Lanz identified the revival of Ariosophy in the monastic tradition of medieval Europe. Lanz regarded the Benedictine Order as a revival of the old Aryan colleges of priest-kings, dedicated to the preaching of the racist gnosis and organized on hierarchical principles. He wrote five studies about the ariosophical inspiration of the Benedictines [6] After identifying the reformed monastic orders as agents of Ariosophy Lanz traced this spiritual heritage to the Cistercian Order. Lanz celebrated this order and its famous leader St Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) as the principal force behind Ariosophy in the Middle Ages. [7]

Because of their close links with the Cistercian Order, the military order of the Knights Templars was regarded by Lanz as the armed guard of Ariosophy. Its rule had been composed by St Bernard, who wrote a homily of praise, De Laude novae militiae (c. 1132), and preached the Second Crusade in 1146. According to Lanz, the Templars were attempting to stem the tide of inferior races in the Near East, and so provide a bulwark of racial purity on the eastern flank of Aryan Christendom. Their efforts were paralleled in the west by the military orders of Calatrava, Alcantara, and Aviz, which had been formed during the mid-twelfth century to fight the Moors in Spain.

Lanz invoked the struggle of the medieval military orders against the heathen powers as a legitimation of his own crusade against populism, democracy, and Bolshevism in the twentieth century. With graphical imagination Lanz conjured up an ideological map of the world from the eighth to the seventeenth century: within the ever tightening ring formed by the Islamic powers of Northern Africa, the Middle East and eventually the Balkans, and the amorphous Mongol hordes of the steppes, lay the embattled 'aria-christian' domain. The constant offensive of peoples devoted to the beast-cults and the threatened destruction of European racial supremacy necessitated the crusades of the military orders. Thus medieval Christendom was envisaged as a martial monastery of aristocratic and racial virtue, from which armed knight-monks rode forth to break the vice-like encirclement of the aggressive inferiors. These images nourished Lanz's vision of a modern crusade against the political emancipation of the masses through parliamentary democracy and socialist revolution.

The Middle Ages represented the golden age of Ariosophy to Lanz. A world of bold knights, pious monks, magnificent castles, beautiful monasteries was underlaid by the racist-chivalrous cult of the religious and military orders. The religion of this period was 'keine weichliche Humanitats-Religion, sondern eine extrem-aristokratische und ariokratische Rassenkultreligion und eine straffe, supranationale, alle arioheroischen Volker umfassende wissensehaftliche, politische und wirtschaftliche Organisation, welche rucksichtslos, bisweilen sogar mit Harte, das Untermenschentum ausrottete, oder im Sklaven- und Hongentum oder in Judenghetti in Untermenschentum ausrottete, oder im Sklaven- und Horigentum oder in Judenghetti in wohltatigen Schranken hielt!' ['no insipid humanity-religion, but an extremely aristocratic and "ariocratic" racial cult religion and an austere scientific, political and economic organization embracing all ario-heroic peoples. This religion ruthlessly exterminated sub-humanity or else kept it charitably within the bounds of slavery and serfdom or in Jewish ghettoes!"] Lanz regarded the 'cosmic week' (a subdivision of the Platonic year) from 480 to orders. The culture of the period was described as 'die letzte herrliche, beruckend schone Blute arisch-heldischer Religion, Kunst und Wissenschaft' ['the last magnificent and fascinatingly beautiful blossoming of ario-heroic religion, art and science']. [8]

The suppression of the Templars in 1308 signalled the end of this era and the ascendancy of the racial inferiors. Henceforth Europe witnessed the slow decline of her racial, cultural, and political achievements. The growth of towns, the expansion of capitalism, and its creation of an industrial labouring class led to the breakdown of the aristocratic principle and the strict maintenance of racial purity. Christianity was perverted into a sentimental altruistic doctrine, which taught that all men were equal, and that man should love his neighbour, irrespective of his race. During the 'cosmic week' from 1210 to 1920 Europe was subject to a process of debasement, culminating in the enormities of Bolshevism and its open proclamation of rule by the masses.

Lanz was obliged to trace a typically Listian secret heritage for his account of the post-medieval Ariosophy tradition. He claimed that Ariosophy survived due to an underground culture of 'several spiritual orders and genial mystics'. The first link in this cryptic heritage was the Order of Christ, which had been founded in 1319 by the King of Portugal. This order was a successor organization to the Templars in Portugal and played an important role in the Portuguese voyages of discovery. Henry the Navigator (1394-1460), who sponsored the voyages which led to the discovery of the Azores, Madeira and northwestern Africa, was a grand master of the order. His ships sailed under the flag of the order, which bore the red heraldic cross of the Templars. The later colonization of Angola, the circumnavigation of the Cape of Good Hope, and the discovery of the passage to India were also associated with the patronage of the order, which had been partially secularized in 1496. The former military orders of the Reconquista, the Order of Aviz in Portugal, and the Orders of Calatrava and Alcantara in Spain, were also secularized in the early sixteenth century. They became royal orders of chivalry, conferred in respect of services to the Portuguese and Spanish crowns.

The survival of these medieval military orders and their involvement with the expansion of European interests appealed to Lanz in his quest for ariosophical agents. He claimed that their Cistercian origins and colonial achievements identified them as the secret instruments of a post-medieval, world-wide ariosophical crusade. Lanz ascribed all Portuguese and Spanish colonialism to the ships sailing under the red Templar cross: 'Die Flotten der Ritterorden entdeckten und eroberten eine ganze neue Welt ... ein Universalreich unter Fuhrung der Christus- und Calatrava-Ritter ... stolz wehte die Christritter-Flagge auf alle Meeren, die Flagge mit dem roten Tempel-Ritterkreuz. ... Die Hauser der spanisch-portuguesischen Cisterzienser-Ritter zahlten in den verschiedensten Landern in die Tausende' [The fleets of the chivalrous orders discovered and conquered a whole new world ... a universal empire under the leadership of the Knights of Christ and the Knights of Calatrava ... The flag of the Knights of Christ flew proudly over all the seas, the flag with the red chivalric cross of the Templars. There were thousands of houses belonging to the Spanish and Portuguese Cistercian knights in the most diverse countries']. Lanz also identified the two Habsburg houses of Spain and Austria as the cryptic agents of a new ariosophical empire, which embraced both the Spanish possessions in Central and South America and the core area of Central Europe under Emperors Frederick IV, Maximilian I, 'die letzten Ariosophen auf Kaiserthronen' ['the last Ariosophists upon imperial thrones'], and Charles V in the early sixteenth century. After the Spanish had secured the New World it remained to expand Habsburg-ariosophical influence in the East. Lanz claimed that this was the real aim of Charles's plans for a new crusade against the Turks with the aid of the Spanish-Portuguese orders and the Maltese Knights of St John. He believed that this project fell victim to the demonic machinations of the Jews and the Lutherans, who wished to stifle the ariosophical renaissance. [9]

The mortality of all human institutions and empires frustrated Lanz's attempt to posit an enduring and visible ariosophical tradition in history. His spurious accounts of the monastic and military orders, the Portuguese voyages of discovery, and Spanish and Austrian imperialism, which sought to conflate distinct historical enterprises into a movement of unique inspiration and ambition, could not bear the scrutiny of informed criticism. Lanz turned to more marginal social elements in his quest for an irrefutable agent of the ariosophical gnosis down through the ages. He posited an underground ariosophical tradition of mystics, romantics, and occultists.

In the Middle Ages this 'ario-christian' mystical tradition included the following: Hildegard of Bingen (d. 1179), Gertrude the Great (d. 1303), Mechtilde of Magdeburg (d. 1282?), Meister Eckhart (d. 1327), Jan von Ruysbroeck (d. 1381) and Thomas a Kempis (d. 1471). In the early modern period, these mystics were succeeded by famous pietists, including: Jakob Boehme (d. 1624), Angelus Silesius (d. 1671), Nikolaus von Zinzendorf (d. 1760) and Emanuel Swedenborg (d. 1772). After the Enlightenment Lanz's roll of ariosophical initiates included romantic thinkers and occultists of the nineteenth century including: J. B. Kerning (1774-1851), the mystical Freemason; Carl von Reichenbach (1788-1869), the Viennese investigator of animal magnetism; the French occultists, Eliphas Levi (1810-75), Josephin Peladan (1858-1918), Gerard Encausse (1865-1916), and Edouard Schure (1841-1929); and the theosophists, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-91), Franz Hartmann (1838-1912), Annie Besant (1847-1933), and Charles Webster Leadbeater (1847-1934). The tradition finally led to Guido von List, Rudolf John Gorsleben, and the mythologists of an Aryan Atlantis, Karl Georg Zschaetzsch, and Hermann Wieland. [10]

This evident decline in the historical significance and intellectual calibre of ariosophical initiates was a logical corollary of Lanz's rejection of the modern age and its achievements. Because he could not identify with any cultural tradition of established status in the present, he could claim only a small group of sectarians as the sole representatives of the formerly universal religion. As List had discovered in his search for theological antecedents, it was relatively easier to recruit initiates in the distant past but the task was far more difficult in an age which was characterized as subject to darkness, evil and illusion. Like the Gnostics of antiquity, the Ariosophists could only claim to carry a spark of divinity in the midst of chaos.

APPENDIX D: New Templar Verse

Der Sang der Nibelungenstrom

Die Quellen, die aus Rhatiens Gletscherhallen
Seit ew'ger Zeit vom Inn zur Donau wallen,
Im Reich des Ostara als macht'ger Strom
Dann grussen Linz und seinen Dom.

Doch, wo Granit durchbrach der Wogendrang,
Wo einst der Nibelungen Horn erklang,
Wo jetzt der Strudel engt die Wellenpfade,
Ragt eine Burg auf schroffem Felsgestade.

Da grusst im hellen Fruhlingssonnenschein
Das Kreuzesbanner hoch von Werfenstein.
Die Donauwellen raunen alte Weisen
Vom Freundesbund der Edlen und Templeisen.

Der neue Bund, der Meister Werk zu kronen,
Dient Gott in Tat und weihevollen Tonen.
Vom Geist des Willens froh, vernimmt die Schar,
Was einst der Templeisen Sendung war.

Aus reinem Quell stromt auch fur sie die Kraft,
Die niemals alternd, neues Leben schafft,
Und Burg und Bund, der Reinheit nur geweiht,
Stehn fest im Strudel und im Drang der Zeit.

-- Fr. Aemilius

[Ostara 1,88 Templeisen-Brevier, ein Andachtsbuch fur wissende und innerliche Ariochrislen, 2. Teil (1916), p. 4.]

Burg und Hain von Weifenstein

Bruder, was dein Auge schaut,
Hier im heil'gen Haine,
Leg es in dein Herze traut
Als vom 'Werfensteine'.

Nicht des Daseins Alltagsbrauch
Wird den Menschen hoher heben.
Nur wenn hehrer Geister Hauch
Ihn durchwehet, wird sein Leben

Wurdevoll und edler Art,
Und sein inn'res Auge sehen,
Was van Gott gesetzt ihm ward
Ais der Seele Auferstehen

Aus der Sunde dust'rem Tal
Zu der Gralsburg lichten Hohen.
Doch der pfad zu ihr ist schmal,
Wen'ge werden ihn nur gehen.

Siehe dart im Tempelhain
Weissgekleidete Gestalten.
Bruder sind's von Werfenstein,

Frauja's Wille lenkt ihr Walten.

Einsam in der Menschenwelt,
Sind vom Herro sie auserkoren,
Das zu tun, was Gatt gefallt,
Reinheit haben sie geschworen.

Reinheit in des Leibes Blut,
Reinheit in des Geistes Streben.
Reinheit heisst ihr Edelgut,
Reinheit wird zu Gatt sie heben.

Geh, und wahre dieses Wort:
Reinheit in des Herzens Schreine.
Mach Dein Herz zum Felsenhort,
Machs zur Burg vom Werfensteine!

-- Fr. Detlef

APPENDIX E: The Modern Mythology of Nazi Occultism

IN this book we have recounted the ideas and the history of Ariosophy, including its links with the Nazi movement in Germany. However, there is a persistent idea, widely canvassed in a sensational genre of literature, that the Nazis were principally inspired and directed by occult agencies from 1920 to 1945. This mythology does not owe its origin to Ariosophy, but to a post-war fascination with Nazism. This fascination is perhaps evoked by the irrationality and macabre policies of Nazism and the short-lived continental dominion of the Third Reich. A small fanatical party is recalled to have seized power in a European country and then succeeded in extending its state power across a huge area from the Atlantic coast to. the Caucasus mountains, and in the course of all this made the extermination of the Jews one of its primary objectives. The immense significance of these events has set National Socialism quite apart from other topics in modern history. The enduring fascination with Nazism is well illustrated by the annual volume of new books devoted to Hitler and other Nazi leaders, the Second World War, the SS, the concentration camps and the holocaust. The total defeat of the Third Reich and the suicides and executions of its major figures have further mystified the image of Nazism. To a young observer, National Socialism frequently appears as an uncanny interlude in modern history.

This mysterious image of the movement accounts for that plethora of popular novels describing the adventures of fugitive war criminals, secret post-war Nazi organizations, and the discovery of Hitler many years after his supposed death. The appeal of this sensational literature lies in the uncanny intrusion of an extinct order, generally considered both monstrous and forbidden, upon the familiar world of liberal institutions. [1] Nor is this fascination with the macabre aspects of Nazism confined to literature. Insignia and mementoes from the Third Reich are often collected by psychopaths and sadists, while extreme right-wing groups and bizarre sects have adopted Nazi dress and ceremonial. [2] This literature of clandestine revivals, illicit initiations, and the persistence of evil ideas and agencies defines a realm of speculative history which has built on slender evidence and tenuous associations to suggest that National Socialism was linked with occultism.

Since 1960 a number of popular books have represented the Nazi phenomenon as the product of arcane and demonic influence. The remarkable story of the rise of Nazism is implicitly linked to the power of the supernatural. According to this mythology Nazism cannot have been the mere product of socio-economic factors. No empirical or purely sociological thesis could account for its nefarious projects and continued success. The occult historiography chooses to explain the Nazi phenomenon in terms of an ultimate and arcane power, which supported and controlled Hitler and his entourage. This hidden power is characterized either as a discarnate entity (e.g. 'black forces', 'invisible hierarchies', 'unknown superiors'), or as a magical elite in a remote age or distant location, with which the Nazis were in contact. Recurring themes in the tradition have been a Nazi link with hidden masters in the East, and the Thule Society and other occult lodges as channels of black initiation. All writers of this genre thus document a 'crypto- history', inasmuch as their final- point of explanatory reference is an agent which has remained concealed to previous historians of National Socialism.

The myth of a Nazi link with the Orient has a complex pedigree of theosophical provenance. The notion of hidden sacred centres in the East had been initially popularized by Blavatsky in The Secret Doctrine, based on the 'Stanzas of Dzyan', which she claimed to have read in a secret Himalayan lamasery. Blavatsky maintained that there existed many similar centres of esoteric learning and initiation; magnificent libraries and fabulous monasteries were supposed to lie in mountain caves and underground labyrinths in the remote regions of Central Asia. Notable examples of these centres were the subterranean city of Agadi. thought to lie in Babylonia, and the fair oasis of Shamballah in the Gobi Desert, where the divine instructors of the Aryan race were said to have preserved their sacred lore. [3] This mythology was extended by a French author, Joseph Saint-Yves d' Alveydre (1842-1909), who described the secret city of Agartha as a theocracy that guided the course of world history. According to telepathic messages which he claimed to have received from the Dalai Lama of Tibet, this city lay beneath the Himalayas. [4] Ferdynand Ossendowski, who travelled through Siberia and Mongolia after the Russian Revolution, gave some credence to these fantasies with his account of local Buddhist beliefs, which referred to the subterranean kingdom of Agartha where the King of the World reigned. This utopian kingdom was credited with supernatural powers that could be unleashed to destroy mankind and transform the surface of the entire planet. [5]

These ideas of a secret theocracy in the East were supplemented by the power of vril. In his novel The Coming Race (1871) Sir Edward Bulwer- Lytton had attributed this power to a subterranean race of men, the Vril-ya, psychically far in advance of the human species. The powers of vril included telepathy and telekinesis. This fictional notion was subsequently exploited by Louis Jacolliot, French consul in Calcutta under the Second Empire, in his studies of oriental beliefs and sects, which Blavatsky had herself quarried while working on the text of Isis Unveiled (1877). [6] The vril was understood to be an enormous reservoir of energy in the human organism, inaccessible to non-initiates. It was believed that whoever became master of the vril force could, like Bulwer-Lytton's race of Vril-ya, enjoy total mastery over all nature. Willy Ley, who emigrated to the United States in 1935 after a short career as a rocket engineer in Germany, wrote a short account of the pseudo-scientific ideas which had found some official acceptance during the Third Reich. Besides the World Ice Theory and the Hollow Earth Doctrine, which both found Nazi patrons, Ley recalled a Berlin sect which had engaged in meditative practices designed to penetrate the secret of vril. [7]

Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier cited this article in their Le malin des magiciens (1960), the second part of which was devoted to the Third Reich under the suggestive title 'A few years in the absolute elsewhere'. They exaggerated the significance of this obscure Berlin sect, in order to claim that the Nazi leadership was determined to establish contact with an omnipotent subterranean theocracy and gain knowledge of its power. It was thought that this power would enable Germany to conquer the whole world and transform human life in accordance with a millenarian vision:

Alliances could be formed with the Master of the World or the King of Fear who reigns over a city hidden somewhere in the East. Those who conclude a pact will change the surface of the Earth and endow the human adventure with a new meaning for many thousands of years ... The world will change: the Lords will emerge from the centre of the Earth. Unless we have made an alliance with them and become Lords ourselves, we shall find ourselves among the slaves, on the dungheap that will nourish the roots of the New Cities that will arise. [8]


Pauwels and Bergier claimed that Hitler and his entourage believed in such ideas. In their account the Berlin sect was known as the Vril Society or the Luminous Lodge (perhaps a garbled reference to the Lumenclub of Vienna) and credited with the status of an important Nazi organization. A French psychiatrist was quoted to the effect that 'Hitler's real aim was to perform an act of creation, a divine operation ... a biological mutation which would result in an unprecedented exaltation of the human race and the "apparition of a new race of heroes and demi-gods and god-men"'. [9] In this way, racism was linked with the occult mythology of an Eastern theocracy and the vril force to evoke a millenarian image of the intended Nazi future.

This legendary account of Nazi inspiration and ambition was underpinned by a fanciful account of the Thule Society and certain of its members. Pauwels and Bergier singled out two particular individuals as Hitler's occult mentors at Munich during the early 1920s. Dietrich Eckart (1868-1923) was a volkisch playwright and journalist of violently anti-Semitic prejudice, and a prominent figure among the nationalist circles of Munich. He is also known to have attended meetings of the Thule Society. It is accepted by scholars that Eckart not only gave force and focus to Hider's burgeoning anti-Semitism after the war, but that he also introduced the young party leader to moneyed and influential social circles. [10] The second individual was Karl Haushofer (1869- 1946), who had served as a military attache in Japan and became a lifelong admirer of oriental culture. After the First World War Haushofer embarked upon an academic career in the field of political geography, subsequently gaining the Chair of Geopolitics at the University of Munich, where Rudolf Hess was his student assistant. Hitler was supposedly impressed by Haushofer's theories, taken from Sir Halford Mackinder, that the 'heartland' of Eastern Europe and Russia ensured its rulers a wider dominance in the world. [11]

According to Pauwels and Bergier, the influence of these two men upon Hider chiefly related to the communication of arcane knowledge which was derived from unknown powers, with which contact had been established through the Thule Society and other cults. Eckart's role as an occult counsellor was related explicidy to invisible hierarchies.

Thule was thought to have been the magic centre of a vanished civilization. Eckardt [sic] and his friends believed that not all the secrets of Thule had perished. Beings intermediate between Man and other intelligent beings from Beyond, would place at the disposal of the Initiates [i.e. the members of the Thule Society] a reservoir of forces which could be drawn on to enable Germany to dominate the world ... [its] leaders would be men who knew everything, deriving their strength from the very fountain-head of energy and guided by the Great Ones of the Ancient World. Such were the myths on which the Aryan doctrine of Eckardt and Rosenberg was founded and which these prophets ... had instilled into the mediumistic mind of Hitler. [The Thule Society) was soon to become ... an instrument changing the very nature of reality ... under the influence of Karl Haushofer the group took on its true character as a society of Initiates in communion with the Invisible, and became the magic centre of the Nazi movement. [12]


This spurious account also maintained that Haushofer was a member of the Luminous Lodge, a secret Buddhist society in Japan, and the Thule Society. As an initiate of the Eastern mysteries, rather than as a geopolitician, Haushofer is supposed to have proclaimed the necessity of 'a return to the sources' of the human race in Central Asia. He advocated the Nazi colonization of this area, in order that Germany could have access to the hidden centres of power in the East. [13] The consequence of this link with 'unknown superiors' was that the Thule Society was thus revealed to be the secret directing agent of the Third Reich. This assertion and the other details are entirely fallacious. The Thule Society was dissolved around 1925 when support had dwindled. While Eckart and Rosenberg were never more than guests of the Thule during its heyday, there is no evidence at all to link Haushofer with the group.

This fictitious image of the Thule Society was developed further by Dietrich Bronder in his book Bevor Hitler kam (1964). Bronder claimed that Haushofer met George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, the Caucasian thaumaturge, at least three times between 1903 and 1908 in Tibet. Gurdjieff was supposed to have initiated Haushofer into the Tibetan mysteries. [14] The Thule Society was alleged to have renewed German contact with the secret monastic orders of Tibet through a small colony of Tibetan Buddhists, which was established at Berlin in 1928; an SS expedition was said to have gone to Tibet with the express purpose of setting up an apparently vital radio link between the Third Reich and the lamas in 1939. The 'Stanzas of Dzyan' were allegedly used as a code for all messages between Berlin and Lhasa during the war. Bronder completed his account with a spurious membership roll of the Thule Society which included: Sebottendorff, Guido von List, Lanz von Liebenfels, Mussolini, Hider, Hess, Goering, Himmler, Frank, and Haushofer. [15] This mythical account posited the existence of a sinister link of diabolical influence between Nazi Germany and a theosophically imagined Tibet. It may also be noted that Bronder's work was the first crypto-history to introduce the Ariosophists. Similar bizarre accounts of Nazi satanism, using the stock properties of the Vril Society, the much abused Haushofer, and the Thule Society were reiterated in Werner Gerson, Le nazisme; societe secrete (1969), Elisabeth Antebi, Ave Lucifer (1970), Jean-Claude Frere, Nazisme et societes secretes (1974), and J. H. Brennan, Occult Reich (1974).

While these mystifications may be traced to theosophical notions, there are other mythological sources for this crypto-history. Trevor Ravenscroft attached to Nazism a mythology that stems from anthroposophy. Several years after the Second World War, Ravenscroft met Walter Johannes Stein (1891-1957), an Austrian Jew who had emigrated from Germany to Britain in 1933. Before the establishment of the Third Reich, Stein had taught at the Waldorf School in Stuttgart, which was run according to the anthroposophical principles of Rudolf Steiner. During his time there, Stein wrote a curious and learned book, Weltgeschichte im Lichte des Heiligen Gral (1928), which was based upon an anthroposophical interpretation of medieval literature and history. Stein argued that the grail romance of Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival (c.1200) had been written against the historical background of the ninth century, and that the fabulous characters of the epic corresponded to real persons who had lived during the Carolingian Empire. For example, the grail king Anfortas was named as King Charles the Bald, the grandson of Charlemagne; Cundrie, the sorceress and messenger of the grail, was considered to have been Ricilda the Bad; Parzival himself was named as Luitward of Vercelli, the chancellor to the Frankish court; and Klingsor, the evil magician and owner of the Castle of Wonders, was identified as Landulf II of Capua, a man of sinister reputation due to his pact with the heathen powers of Islam in Arab-occupied Sicily. The battle between the Christian knights and their evil adversaries was understood as an allegory of the enduring struggle for possession of the Holy Lance, supposed to have pierced the side of Christ at his Crucifixion. [16]

Ravenscroft based his occult account of Nazism on Stein's work. In The Spear of Destiny (1972) he related how the young student Stein had discovered a second-hand copy of Parzival in an occult bookshop in the old quarter of Vienna in August 1912. This volume contained numerous jottings in the form of a commentary on the text, which interpreted the epic as trials of initiation upon a prescribed path to the attainment of transcendent consciousness. This interpretation was supported by many quotations drawn from oriental religions, alchemy, astrology, and mysticism. Stein also noted that a strong theme of racial hatred and pan-German fanaticism ran through the entire commentary. The name written on the inside cover of the book indicated that its previous owner was Adolf Hitler. His curiosity aroused concerning the jottings, Stein returned to the bookshop to ask the proprietor if he could tell him anything about Hitler. Ernst Pretzsche informed Stein that Hitler was an assiduous student of the occult and gave him his address. Stein sought Hitler out. In the course of their frequent meetings, in late 1912 and early 1913, Stein learned that Hitler believed that the Holy Lance could grant its owner unlimited power to perform either good or evil. The succession of previous owners allegedly included Constantine the Great, Charles Martel, Henry the Fowler, Otto the Great, and the Hohenstauffen emperors. As the property of the Habsburg dynasty, the Lance now lay in the Hofburg at Vienna. Hitler was determined to gain possession of the Lance in order to secure his own bid for world domination. Ravenscroft also included the sensational story that Hitler had accelerated his occult development through the use of hallucinogenic peyote, to which he had been introduced by Pretzsche, who had worked until 1892 as an apothecary's assistant in the German colony at Mexico City. [17]

Ravenscroft described an equally fanciful social network of people supposedly involved with occult lore in Munich. Dietrich Eckart was described as an occult student who had travelled in Sicily to find the castle of Landulf II at Caltabellotta, where this putative model for Klingsor had performed satanic rituals of Arabian astrological magic that were said to have appalled the Christians of Southern Europe. Landulf was supposed to have invoked the spirits of darkness through the torture and sacrifice of human victims; Ravenscroft suggested that the Thule Society under the direction of Eckart, performed similar rituals on Jews and communists who had unaccountably disappeared in Munich during the early years of the Republic. Ravenscroft even recruited for his Nazi mythology the person of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), the English magician, who established his antinomian Abbey of Thelema at Celafu in 1921. Crowley was also alleged to have hunted for clues at Caltabellotta, while Eckart made a study of Crowley's gnostic sex-magic and its symbolical connections with Landulf's satanic practices. This jumble of links between twentieth-century occultism and ninth-century Sicily was crowned by the claim that Hitler believed himself to be the reincarnation of Klingsor-Landulf. [18] Ravenscroft concluded that Eckart and Haushofer initiated Hitler into black rituals designed to establish contact with evil powers:

Dietrich Eckart contrived to develop and open the centres in the astral body of Adolf Hitler, giving him the possibility of vision into the macrocosm and means of communication with the powers of darkness ... utilising his memories of a past incarnation as the Landulf of Capua in the ninth century ... By divulging The Secret Doctrine, Haushofer expanded Hitler's time-consciousness ... [and) awakened [him] to the real motives of the Luciferic Principality which possessed him so that he could become the conscious vehicle of its evil intent in the twentieth century. [19]


The centres of the astral body, vision into the macrocosm, the Luciferic Principality and its imminent manifestation as the Anti-Christ are all concepts derived from anthroposophy. Here it can be clearly seen how Ravenscroft adapted the materials of Rudolf Steiner and Walter Johannes Stein to the mythology of occult Nazism. Spiritualism also featured in his fantastic account of the Thule Society. Obscene seances with a naked medium were said to have been held by Eckart, Rosenberg, and Sebottendorff as a means of contacting the shades of the murdered Thule hostages. Both Prince von Thurn und Taxis and Heila von Westarp proclaimed from beyond the grave that Hitler would be the next claimant of the Holy Lance and lead Germany into a disastrous bid for global conquest. [20]

It was not long before the crypto- historians had discovered the Ariosophists. Their secret hierarchies and occult gnosis fulfilled all the requisite criteria for an arcane view of National Socialism. After Bronder's inclusion of List in the Thule Society, Ravenscroft was the next author to exploit List as Hitler's occult mentor. In the dingy office of Pretzsche's bookshop, Stein is said to have seen a group photograph which showed Pretzsche beside Guido von List. Stein recalled List as the infamous founder of an occult lodge, which had been exposed by the Vienna press as a 'blood brotherhood' for performing rituals involving sexual perversion and the practice of medieval black magic. On being exposed in 1909, List was compelled to flee from Vienna for fear of being lynched by outraged Catholics. [21] Ravenscroft inferred that both Ernst Pretzsche and Adolf Hitler were associated with List's lodge: 'According to Hitler, Pretzsche was himself present when Guido von List attempted to materialise "the Incubus" in a ritual designed to create a "Moon Child".' [22]

There is not a shred of evidence for such rituals. List was never obliged to leave Vienna and he enjoyed the patronage of prominent Vienna figures. The nature of the rituals Ravenscroft described indicate the inspiration of Aleister Crowley, especially with regard to the creation of a 'Moon Child'. It may be added that no one called Pretzsche was resident in Vienna between 1890 and 1920, nor did this name ever appear in the membership list of the List Society. The fictional nature of the whole episode surrounding the annotated copy of Parzival is suggested by the similarity of Pretzsche's obscure bookshop to the one described by Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton in Zanoni (1842), which probably served Ravenscroft as a literary model. [23]

Lanz von Liebenfels made his debut in this mythological history in Michel-Jean Angebert, Les mystiques du soleil (1971). In this account the young Hitler is supposed to have come under the influence of the Heiligenkreuz novice in 1898. The origins of this fantasy concern the choir school at Lambach monastery, which Hitler (aet. 8) attended for singing lessons from July 1897 to January 1899. In 1898 Lanz is alleged to have arrived at Lambach monastery, where he spent several weeks poring over the private library of Theoderich Hagn, its former abbot. The reason for his interest in these books lay in the nature of the abbot's studies. According to Angebert, the abbot had been a profound scholar of astrology and the occult sciences. Between 1856 and 1868 he was supposed to have travelled in the Middle East and the Caucasus in search of arcane lore. Angebert also attributed Hagn's choice of the swastika as his coat-of-arms to an oriental source of inspiration. This armorial swastika is in fact displayed in a relief above a gateway in the monastery. Frere repeated this story, stating that Lanz stayed long months in the library, 'rarely emerging save for a frugal meal, when he talked to no one and gave the impression of extreme agitation, as if labouring under the impact of an amazing discovery'. [24] The alleged contact between Lanz and Hitler was left unstated.

This episode is wholly imaginary. There is no evidence whatsoever for Hagn's extended travels; his blazon was traditionally borne by his family and derived from the name 'Hagn': Haken means hook and this swastika emblem is simply a hooked cross. [25] Nevertheless the myth of the Lambach swastika was already current during the Third Reich. A popular artist painted a tasteless pastiche of the famous picture of Saint Francis receiving the stigmata in which young Adolf was portrayed kneeling before the abbey gateway with rays of light falling from the heraldic swastika onto his out-stretched hands. [26] The painting was widely circulated in the form of little printed icons. These ideas of an early encounter between Lanz and Hitler, and Hitler's supposed veneration of the swastika in childhood, are evidence of the eagerness with which these crypto-historians seek to establish links with the occult in the early life of the future Fuhrer.

Books written about Nazi occultism between 1960 and 1975 were typically sensational and under-researched. A complete ignorance of the primary sources was common to most authors and inaccuracies and wild claims were repeated by each newcomer to the genre until an abundant literature existed, based on wholly spurious 'facts' concerning the powerful Thule Society, the Nazi links with the East, and Hitler's occult initiation. But the modern mythology of Nazi occultism, however scurrilous and absurd, exercised a fascination beyond mere entertainment. Serious authors were tempted into an exciting field of intellectual history: Ellic Howe, Urania's Children (1967, reissued as Astrology and the Third Reich, 1984) dealt with the story of Hitler's alleged private astrologer, and James Webb devoted a chapter to 'The Magi of the North' in The Occult Establishment (1976). By focusing on the functional significance of occultism in political irrationalism, Webb rescued the study of Nazi occultism for the history of ideas.

Notes and References

INTRODUCTION


1. The term 'Ariosophy', meaning occult wisdom concerning the Aryans, was first coined by Lanz van Liebenfels in 1915 and became the label for his doctrine in the 1920s. List actually called his doctrine 'Armanism', while Lanz used the terms 'Theozoology' and 'Ario-Christianty' before the First World War. In this book 'Ariosophy' is used generically to describe the Aryan-racist-occult theories of both men and their followers.

Schwickert published several standard texts of astrological theory in the 1920s, which employed the deterministic method of the French astrologer, Morin de Villefranche (1583-1656), counsellor to Louis XIII, Louis XIV and Cardinal Richelieu.

19 Karl Heise wrote about sun-worship, reincarnation, the astral body and miracles. These themes were evidently consistent with the cult of Mazdaznan. This cult had been founded c.1900 in the United States by Otto Hanisch (1856-1936), a German immigrant from Poznan. Hanisch used the name Otoman Zar-Adusht Ha'nish and claimed to have been born in Tehran, supposedly in order to lend credence to the alleged Zoroastrian origins of his cult. The cult spread to Europe in the first decade of the century.

20 List first mentioned the 'Templeisen' in GLB 2 (1908), p. 64 f. He drew heavily on Lanz's racial dualism in GLB 2a (1911), pp. 66-71. The continent 'Arktogaa' was first mentioned in GLB 4 (1909), p. 2. A map, showing the location and coastline of 'Arktogaa', was published by Lanz in Ostara I, 50 (1911), p. 8, and used by List in D-ML, 1, 119.

Part 2 of 3

7. THE GERMAN MILLENNIUM

1 Fritz Saxl, 'The revival of late antique astrology', in Lectures, 2 vols. (London, 1957), I, 73-84.

2 Guido List, Deutsch-Mythologische Landschaftsbilder, first edition (Berlin, 1891 l, passim.

3 H. R. Ellis Davidson, Gods and Myths of Northern Europe (Harmondsworth, 1964), p. 37 f. List discussed these myths in an apocalyptic context. GLB 2 (1908), pp. 46, 70 and GLB 4 (1909), pp. 4, 6.

4 This cameo is intended only to delineate the typical motifs in the apocalypses of Daniel, Ezra, Baruch and the Book of Revelation. Details concerning the identity and nature of the evil spirit and the messiah, as well as the manner of their manifestation, vary among the authors of this long religious and literary tradition. The term 'millennium' derives from the Book of Revelation, which describes the establishment of a terrestrial kingdom of God lasting a thousand years before the eternal dispensation dawns. However, among historians and sociologists the word denotes the new age, irrespective of its duration. Although messianic beliefs and millenarian ism often coincide historically, the two ideas do not necessarily imply one another. For surveys of apocalyptic literature and discussions, see The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament, edited by R. H. Charles, 2 vols. (Oxford, 1913), passim; E. Hennecke, New Testament Apocrypha, 2 vols. (London, 1965), II, 582ff; Norman Cohn, The Pursuit of the Millennium (London, 1957); Bryan R. Wilson, 'Millennialism in comparative perspective', in Millennial Dreams in Action, edited by Sylvia L. Thrupp, Comparative Studies in Society and History 2 (The Hague, 1962), pp. 93-114; Yonina Talmon, 'Pursuit of the Millennium: the relation between religious and social change', Archives Europeenes de Sociologie 3 (1962), 125-48, and 'Millenarian movements', Archives Europeenes de Sociologie 7 (1966), 159-200.

13 ibid., p. 16f.

14 Guido List, Die Religion der Ario-Germanen (Zurich, 1910), p. 92 f. List was obviously familiar with this system of Hindu cosmology from Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Die Geheimlehre, 2 vols. (Leipzig, 1897-1901). A Mahayuga, or complete cycle, lasted 4, 320, 000 years and was composed of four yugas of successively shorter duration. The shortest of these, the Kaliyuga, lasted 432,000 years and represented the most decadent phase of the Mahayuga. Within an apocalyptic scheme, the Kaliyuga could be regarded as the period of woes, provided that one ignored the cyclical nature of Hindu chronology, which denies ultimate salvation.

15 Guido List, 'Uber die Moglichkeit eines ewigen Weltfriedens', Prana 7 (1917), in Balzli, op. cit., pp. 134-8 (p. 135).

16 Guido List, 'Neuzeitliche Einherier', Osterreichische Illustrierte Rundschau 4 (1916), in Balzli, op. cit., pp. 116-24 (p. 117), and 'Wer ist der Starke von Oben?', Prana 7 (1917), in Balzli, op. cit., pp. 125-33 (p. 128).

17 The letter from Tarnhari was dated 11 November 1911, in Balzli, op. cit., p. 146. Tarnhari's real name was Ernst Lauterer. His speculations revolved around the derivation of his name from the three runes Laf-tar-ar Image, which spelt the word 'Ulaftarhari', allegedly a cover-name for Wotan. Tarnhari also traced his ancestry to a sixteenth-century family Lautrer von Dofering zum Raidenstein, whose blazon showed a rampant lion. He claimed that the Laf-tar-ar runes were concealed ill the body of this heraldic lion. Tarnhari, Aus den Traditionen der Laf-tar-ar- Sippe der 'Lauterer' (Diessen, [1915]). Tarnhari published another pamphlet, An unsere Getreuen (Diessen, [1914]). After the war he was associated with Alfred Bass in the Nationale Kanzlei at Leipzig which issued a Hakenkreuz-Rundbrief (1920) and also collaborated with Dietrich Eckart, the volkisch publicist at Munich.

22 An extensive bibliography of conservative revolutionary literature may be consulted in Armin Mohler, Die konservative Revolution in Deutschland 1918-1932 (Darmstadt, 1972).

23 This profuse pamphlet literature concerning 'spiritual' anti-Westernism in Germany during 1914 and 1915 is discussed by Fritz Ringer, The Decline of the German Mandarins (Cambridge, Mass., 1969), pp. 180-99 and Klemens von Klemperer, Germany's New Conservatism (Princeton, 1968), pp. 47-55.

2 See Appendix A for the genealogy of Adolf Josef Lanz. It is interesting to note that his younger brother, Herwik Lanz, also indulged in similar fantasies. He claimed to have been born at San Giovanni on 10 June 1874 (pre-dated). Kurschners Deutscher Literatur-Kalender 36 (1914), p. 1003.

3 J. Lanz von Liebenfels, Arithmosophikon 19 (Thalwyl, [1949]), p. 725 f. Documentary evidence suggests that Lanz did not esteem the Templars until after 1905. See below p. 108, note 9.

23 J. Lanz-Liebenfels, TZ, pp. 79f, 85, 90f. Withelm Bolsche had suggested that the pineal gland represented the evolutionary residue of a magnetic third eye, which was more apparent in the prehistoric saurian reptiles. Quoted by J. Lanz- Liebenfels, 'Anthropozoon biblicum', VfB 1 (1903), p. 354. Bolsche, a popular scientific writer, probably took this idea from theosophy. Madame Blavatsky had also mystified the gland as a magical third eye, a speculation which she may have borrowed from Rene Descartes, who sought the locus of the soul in the gland.

36 These codes had been edited by Sir William Jones, Institutes of Hindu Law (Calcutta, 1794) and translated into German by Johann Christoph Huttner, Hindu-Gesetzbuch (Weimar, 1797). The codes had been examined in a racist context bv F. Gernandt, 'Aus dem Hindu-Gesetzbuch des Manu', Politisch-Anthropologische Revue 3 (1904), 264-8, which may well have been Lanz's source of inspiration. The Sanskrit term candala (Tschandale), which denoted the lowest caste of untouchables, denoted to Lanz the mongrelized racial inferiors and lower social classes of modern times. Ostara I, 22 (April 1908), pp. 6, 16.

37 The first issue of Ostara was published at Graz, but the periodical was henceforth published at Rodaun until mid-1913, by which time sixty-six numbers had appeared. The periodical was then published at Modling until 1917 (with No. 89), when the first series (Ostara I) was discontinued. A second abortive series (Ostara II) was begun at Magdeburg in 1922, but abandoned after several numbers, and the third series (Ostara III) was published in Vienna from 1927 to 1931 under the patronage of Johann Walthari Wolfl.

38 Harald Gravell van Jostenoode, Ostara I, 6 (July 1906), pp. 3, 10, 12f.

39 The works cited by Gravell were Annie Besant, Der Stammbaum der Menschen (Leipzig, 1907) and' Rudolf Steiner, Blut ist ein ganz besonderer Saft (Berlin, 1907), both of which reflected the theosophical interest in racist ideas. Harald Gravell van Jostenoode, Ostara I, 25 (July 1908), p. 10f.

40 J. Lanz-Liebenfels, Die Theosophie und die assyrischen 'Menschentiere' (Berlin, 1907), p. 11, figures 4, 5. The maps were taken from Melchior Neumayr, Erdgeschichte, second edition, 2 vols. (Leipzig, 1895), and William Scott-Elliot, Das untergangene Lemuria (Leipzig, 1905).

42 ibid., pp. 28-32.

43 The Monist League was founded at Jena in 1906 by Ernst Haeckel as an organization of Social Darwinists. Gasman notes that the League boasted a membership of some six thousand in over forty groups distributed throughout Germany and Austria. It is likely that Lanz became familiar with its. doctrines through the Vienna branch. Gasman places Lanz 'on the lunatic fringe of the social Darwinist movement'. Daniel Gasman, The Scientific Origins of National Socialism (London, 1971), pp. 20 If, 153 and passim. This is true insofar as many of Lanz's authorities, including Withelm Bolsche, Ludwig Woltmann, and Willibald Hentschel, were Social Darwinists.

44 Ostara I, 35 (1910), pp. 1-5.

45 Ostara I, 78 (1915), pp. 10ff. Lanz subsequently extended this roll of ariosophical initiates to include numerous mystics, pietists, and occultists since antiquity. See Appendix C.

46 Ellic Howe, Astrology and the Third Reich (Wellingborough, 1984), pp. 78-103.

47 Ostara I, 78 (19 I 5), recto rear cover.

48 Ostara I, 79 (1915), pp. 15-[ 18]. The titles included: Arthur Grohe-Wutischsky, Der Weltkrieg 1914 in der Prophetie (Leipzig, 1915); Karl Brandler-Pracht, Hauser-Tabellen van 40°- 56° geographischer Breite (Leipzig, 1910); Albert Kniepf, Die Weissagungen des altfranzosischen Sehers Michel Nostradamus und der heutige Krieg (Hamburg, 1914). Other reviews covered G. W. Surya, Moderne Rosenkreuur, second edition (Leipzig, 1914); Charles Leadbeater, Der sichtbare und unsichtbare Mensch (Leipzig, 1908). The following issue of Ostara reviewed the first German work of the German-American theosophist Max Heindel, who had studied under Rudolf Steiner at Berlin before emigrating. Max Heindel, Die Weltanschauung der Rosenkreuur (Leipzig, 1913). Details of Heindel in Ellic Howe, op. cit., p. 84 f. Lanz also recommended the periodicals Prana, Theosophie and Zum Licht. Ostara I. 80 (1915), pp. 16-[18]. These references give a clear indication of how widespread was Lanz's interest in theosophical and occult literature.

49 Ostara I, 80 (1915), p. 8f.

50 Ostara I, 81 (1915), pp. 12-18. The idea of the Church of the Holy Spirit derives from the apocalyptic thought of Joachim of Fiore (c.1135-1202), who described a temporal scheme of three ages, each of which corresponded to one of the persons of the Trinity. The first age was the Age of the Father, a dispensation characterized by a demand for strict obedience to the laws of God; the second age was the Age of the Son, a time of piety and faith in the gospel; the third age was the Age of the Holy Spirit. which would witness the transformation of the whole world into a vast monastery of monks full of joy, love, and freedom. Marjorie Reeves, Joachim of Fiore and the Prophetic Future (London, 1976). On Joachite prophecy in relation to millenarianism, Norman Cohn, The Pursuit of the Millennium (New York, 1970), pp. 108 ff. Lanz discussed such prophecy, implying that the ordo futurus of Joachim was the parousia of New Templarism. Ostara I, 78 (1915), p. 4 f. The site of Vienna as the origin of the millennium was consonant with Lanz's belief in the ariosophical mission of the Habsburg dynasty. He found some justification for this statement in an interpretation of two enigmatic Nostradamus references, according to which the intersection of the 48° latitude and the 'German mountains' (in Lanz's opinion, a certain ridge in the Wienerwald) defined a new spiritual source-point on the planet.

51 Ostara III, 4 (1928), pp. 2f, 13f.

52 Friedrich Heer has also suggested that the emotional inspiration of Hitler's adult dreams of world-dominion and Caesarism may have derived from his childhood experience of South German Catholic pomp and pageantry at Passau between 1892 and 1895. Friedrich Heer, Der Glaube des Adolf Hitler (Munich, 1968), pp. 19- 21.

9. THE ORDER OF THE NEW TEMPLARS

1 See Appendix A for the genealogy of Adolf Josef Lanz.

2 The first traceable use of the name' Liebenfels' by Lanz occurred in early 1903. Cf. Dr J. Lanz-Liebenfels, 'Die Urgeschichte der Kunste', Politisch-Anthropologische Revue 2 (May 1903), 134-56 (p. 134). His earliest use of the title 'von' between the names dates from 1911. See letter-heads, Lanz to August Strindberg, letter dated 20 September 1911, Royal Library, Stockholm, and Lanz to Johannes Hering, letter dated 6 September 1911, Bundesarchiv, Koblenz, NS26/1229.

5 Ernst Issberner-Haldane, 'Frodi Ingolfson Wehrmann', Zeitschrift fur Geistes- und Wissenschaftsreform 3 (1928), 163-4. Although he did not personally meet List, Wehrmann corresponded regularly with him before 1919. Frodi Ingolfson Wehrmann, 'Zum Gedenken an Guido von List's zehnten Sterbetag', Zeitschrift fur Geistes- und Wissenschaftsreform 4 (1929), 157-8 and Gerhard Kunz (Stuttgart) to author, letter dated 17 March 1979.

8 Frodi Ingolfson Wehrmann, Die Tragik der Germanen (Dusseldorf, 1926) represented a typically Listian reinterpretation of historical and cultural materials. His second text was Die Sendung der Germanen (Dusseldorf, 1926).

9 Ernst Issberner-Haldane, Der Chiromant (Bad Oldesloe, 1925), passim. According to this autobiography, Issberner-Haldane again met Mr Hewalt in Berlin after the war. At this time Hewalt is portrayed as a mystic with clairvoyant powers, who is fighting to safeguard Aryan purity by advising young women vigorously against racial mesalliances. He is proposing to withdraw shortly to his private monastery in Colombia, ibid., pp. 305-18. Although many episodes in the autobiography may owe their inspiration to the post-war theosophical-occult subculture, the encounters with such guru figures are recounted in detail, as they might describe authentic influences upon Issberner-Haldane before 1914.

10 ibid., pp. 182-7. 190-8.

11 ibid., pp. 222-33.

12 Notice in Zeitschrift fur Menschenkenntnis und Schicksalsforschung I (1926), 167.

13 The first issue of Die Chiromantie in Reichstein's periodical appeared in October 1929. Here Issberner-Haldane described the person of Mr Hewalt and his clairvoyant characterological powers, mentioning their two encounters. Ernst Issberner-Haldane, 'Meister-Charakterologen', Zeitschrift fur Geistes- und Wissenschaftsreform 4 (1929), 292-4. Issberner-Haldane is first mentioned as a Novice, Fra Yvo NNT, in April 1927. Tabularium 43 Uanuary-ApriI1927), p. 8. An advertisement for the 'Svastika-Heim' appears in Zeitschrift fur Geistes- und Wissenschaftsreform 7 (1932), 135. One of Ellic Howe's German contacts told him in the 1960s that Issberner-Haldane remarried late in life 'in order to procreate a Christ Child'. He died in 1966.

42 Ostara III, 28 (1931), recto rear cover. The founder of the Hollow Earth Doctrine was Cyrus Romulus Reed Teed (1839-1908). Teed claimed to have undergone a spiritual illumination in 1870, when he received by revelation the tenets of this doctrine, which he called Koreshianity (Koresh is the Hebrew for Cyrus). In 1903 he established a sectarian community at Estero, Florida. The doctrine was introduced to Germany by Peter Bender, who read the sect periodical The Flaming Sword, while a prisoner of war in France. Karl E. Neupert wrote several books on the subject. Elmer T.

APPENDIX E: THE MODERN MYTHOLOGY OF NAZI OCCULTISM

1 A sample of such works might include the following: Nazi-hunting in the German expatriate communities of South America, including the search for the allegedly fugitive Martin Bormann, are represented by Ladislas Farago, Aftermath. Martin Bormann and the Fourth Reich (London, 1974), and Erich Erdstein with Barbara Bean, Inside the Fourth Reich (London, 1978). Robert Ludlum, The Holcroft Covenant (St Albans, 1978) describes a Nazi revival against the background of high finance. Michael Sinclair, A Long Time Sleeping (London, 1975) tells how Hitler survived until 1967 in the United States with contacts among the old guard in high political office throughout the world. W. Mattern, UFOs. Letzte Geheimwaffe des Dritten Reiches (Toronto, n.d.) suggests that the flying saucers are directed by a clique of Nazi survivors bent upon the successful resumption of world conquest.

2 Right-wing political groups of explicit Nazi inspiration in Great Britain and the United States are described in Angelo del Boca and Mario Giovana, Fascism Today (London, 1970), pp. 261-70, 323-66. Nazi chants and salutes are used in the Church of Satan, a sect devoted to devil-worship and unbridled sensual gratification, which was founded in 1966 in San Francisco. Anton Szandor LaVey, The Satanic Rituals (New York, 1972).

3 Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, the Secret Doctrine, second edition, 2 vols. (London, 1888), I, xxiii-xxv.

5 Ferdynand Ossendowski, Beasts, Men and Gods (London, 1923), pp. 299-316.

6 Louis Jacolliot, Les fils de Dieu (Paris, 1873) referred to the vril in connection with the magical practices of the Jainists in India. For Blavatsky's debt to Jacolliot, see Coleman, op. cit., pp. 357-366.

10 For an objective account of Eckart's influence on Hitler, see John Toland, Adolf Hitler (New York, 1976), pp. 99-101 and Robert G. L. Waite, The Psychopathic God: Adolf Hitler (New York, 1977), pp. 116-18.

11 The limited extent of Hitler's contact with Karl Haushofer may be deduced from Hans-Adolf Jacobsen, Karl Haushofer. Leben und Werk Bd. 1, Schriften des Bundesarchivs 24/1 (Boppard, 1979), pp. 224-258.

12 Pauwels and Bergier, op. cit., p. 193.

13 ibid., pp. 195-8.

14 The presence of Gurdjieff himself in Tibet is a matter of contention and mystification. James Webb, The Harmonious Circle (London, 1980), pp. 48-74.

17 Trevor Ravenscroft, the Spear of Destiny (London, 1972), pp. 67-88. The repatriation of the Habsburg imperial regalia to Germany formed the subject of Ostara I, 6 (July 1906). Hitler actually had the regalia transferred to Nuremberg after 1938.

18 ibid., pp. 167-70, 186.

19 ibid., p. 230.

20 ibid., pp. 103-5.

21 ibid., p. 59.

22 ibid., p. 76.

23 The conjuring of a 'Moon Child' is redolent of myths surrounding Aleister Crowley. Somerset W. Maugham wrote a caustic satire about Crowley, in which a certain 'Oliver Haddo' engaged in evil alchemical experiments at his Staffordshire mansion to create a homunculus with the life-force of his poor wife. Somerset W. Maugham, the Magician (London, 1908). Crowley also wrote a novel about the magical creation of familiar spirits and discarnate entities. Aleister Crowley, Moonchild (London, 1929). The fictional status of both Ernst Pretzsche and his bookshop is discussed in Christoph Lindenberg, 'The Spear of Destiny [review]', Die Drei, December 1974, 631-5.
