The Occult Roots of Nazism

Secret Aryan Cults and Their Influence on Nazi Ideology
Book • 1976
This book provides a detailed account of how Nazism was influenced by powerful occult sects that thrived in Germany and Austria almost fifty years before Adolf Hitler’s rise to power.

It traces the intellectual roots of Nazism back to these sects, which espoused a mixture of popular nationalism, Aryan racism, and occultism.

The book highlights how these ideas and symbols, filtered through nationalist-racist groups, came to exert a strong influence on Himmler's SS and contributed to the terrifying consequences of the Third Reich.

It also explores the broader implications of these occult influences on Nazi policies and the wider historical context.
