The Occult Roots Of Nazism

by Katinka Hesselink - Spirituality on April 10, 2010

THE book about one of the most controversial topics in occult history: the relationship between Nazism and occultism.

Few people outside the occult or Neo Nazi subcultures (which don’t have a large overlap, fortunately) know much about the topic in this book. It is important both as a permanent warning to occultists, as well as for those interested in the history of ideas and rationalizations of evil.

There was, so Goodrick-Clarke amply shows, a subculture to Nazism which had esoteric roots. In this subculture the superiority of the German Race was rationalized with occult theories and ideas borrowed from Social Darwinism.

Unfortunately when one googles one of my personal inspirations – H.P. Blavatsky – one is likely to find her mixed up in this as well.
