Book Description
FOREWORD BY NORMAN MAILER Engagingly written, this is a comprehensive but popular history of the occult background and roots of the Nazi movement, showing how the ideas of a vast international network of late 19th- and early 20th century occult groups influenced Nazi ideology, from Madame Blavatsky and Aleister Crowley to the Thule Gesellschaft, the Order of the Golden Dawn, the Order of the Eastern Temple, and the pseudoscientific expeditions to Iceland and Tibet of the Ancestral Heritage Research and Teaching Society. Nazi appropriation of the occult was a strange mixture of astrology, freemasonry, racism rooted in occultism, and popular European folklore. It also traces the Nazi movements as they continued their activities after the war or "morphed" into neo-Nazi, skinhead, and satanic groups, such as the Christian Identity and White Aryan Resistance movements.
