Hitler, Nazis, the religion of the blood and Nietzsche's overman. The Third Reich was an occult-based religious movement to usher in the New Age. He was a great admirer of Helena Blavatsky and other occultists. Hitler hated Christianity and Catholics BUT he admired the discipline, doctrine, and pageantry of the Roman Catholic Chruch (Read Ominous Parallels by Leonard Peikoff ) And he obviously subscribed to Nietzsche "overman"
Here's a brief history...
In 1935, Himmler created the Lebensborn. Between 1935 and 1945, 11,000 Lebensborn babies were born. Men from the right genetic stock (Aryan) were encouraged to breed as many babies as possible regardless of their marital status. According to Himmler, the SS had a sacred duty to their nation and furor to beget healthy Aryan babies. He instituted the practice that SS men would be able to take on more than one wife. According to Lebensborn doctrine, the illigitmate child is no disgrace as long as the mother was genetically fit Women were thought to have one function, to breed the children whose offspring would one day become gods. Aryan babies from conquered nations were kidnapped and placed in Lebensborn homes. It is estimated that 200,000 Polish babies were kidnapped and placed in Lebensborn homes where they received training in every aspect of Nazi culture and mythology.
Rudolph Hess was a member of the Thule society which actively sought a Germanic messiah. Members practiced astrology, sun worship, and other occult sciences, dedicated to the revival of the master Aryan race. The Thule society, with very elite membership, financed Hitler’s German Worker’s Party. In 1920, Hitler changed the name of the German Worker’s Party to the German National Socialist Worker’s Party (NSDAP) which soon became the Nazi party.
The quest to prove the superiority of the Aryan race soon moved into the criminal. They believed that once they proved that their ancestors were Aryan gods it would be a simple step to recreate this race of Aryan god-men through selective breeding. They had to be at least 5’ 9” of pure German ancestry without inter breeding back to 1750, encouraged to father as many children as possible regardless of marital status
Alfred Roseberg, racist philosopher and occultist would eventually become Hitler’s voice in spiritual matters. In The Myth of the 20th Century Rosenberg reinvented Germanic history and laid out the foundation of the new Nazi creed:
the religion of the blood. He saw, in a religious sense, blood as the determining factor. The church had to be of the blood rather than of faith, or belief… Blood, racial stock, identity became the keynotes of this new ideology
The blood tied together the Nordic races. Rosenberg preached that the blood of the people carried the soul of the race. Blood is a sacred substance that is a vehicle that carries more than the physical life of each person, but the spiritual life. The blood of the people carried the spirit of the race. So Nordic myth replaced the Christian Bible as the foundation of the new Nazi religion.
In a pageant orchestrated by Rosenberg and captured on film, the Nazis celebrated their newly conceived version of Aryan culture Today a new mythos is dawning. The mythos of the blood. The belief that the godly essence is to be defended through the blood. Hitler took Rosenberg’s words further when he wrote, the old beliefs will be brought back to honor again. The whole secret nature, of the divine, of the demonic. We will wash off the Christian veneer and being out a religion peculiar to our race. Hitler chose the Swastikas as the emblem of the Nazi race.
The Swastika was non-Christian in an overt sense. It represented the hammer of Thor, the god of thunder. Amongst the Norsemen, it was represented the arctic sun, worshipped throughout pagan law. It was a bearer of good life and good fortune. The Swastikas a sign of good luck in China and to this day it remains an emblem of the Hindu and Buddhist faiths
For Hitler, it had a different meaning. He wrote: In the swastika, we see the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man.
The gnostic themes of the Grail quest and the cosmic struggle between Light and Darkness Hitler became an obsessive devotee of the composer, Richard Wagner. A common theme in German mythology are the epic sagas of Teutonic traditions and Norse mythology, of warring forces of darkness and light...these were a common theme in German culture. Wagner gave these stories their most triumphant voice. Hitler went to his first opera at 12-years old...Richard Wagner’s Parsifal, which glorifies the power of pure blood. This became a source of great inspiration to Hitler. It is an epic retelling of quest for the Holy Grail. According to legend the grail was a mystical vessel that carried sacred blood, promising unlimited powers to anyone who drank from it. It was believed the grail could only be found by the purest knights (In 1938 HItler had a painting commissioned of him as a knight).. Wagner’s genius for pageantry became Hitler’s inspiration for Hitler’s grandiose rallies that Hitler would soon stage. Rallies where Wagner’s music was often played.
Hitler’s bid for power began November 9, 1923 with an attempt of an overthrow of the Bavarian government. Leading a group he called storm troopers, he launched an attack on a beer hall where government leaders were meeting. With Hess and Rosenberg at his side, Hitler brashly announced the formation of a new government, then took to the streets marching 3,000 storm troopers through Munich. They were confronted by police. Shots were fired and Hitler lost 16 of his men. It was a failed coup. But in the 10 years before Hitler seized power, the 16 men would become martyrs.
Thus the ritual whereby every new Nazi flag and banner was not empowered until Hitler had touched the flag against the “blood flag”. Nazi blood attained a sacred symbolic power, ritualized and sanctified in the ceremony known as “The Right of the Blood Flag”. The “magical power” of the blood of the dead Nazis was transmitted to each Nazi flag and consecrated thereby. The blood flag was the crucifix of Hitler’s religion. It would come to symbolize his new reign.
The party is Hitler. Hitler is Germany and Germany is Hitler. In 1933, Hitler succeeded in becoming the Furor. A title that would come to resonate with religious connotations of the “anointed one”,
the “messiah”. With Hitler’s elevation to leader, the blood religion became the undisputed religion of the party, complete with holy days and martyrs.
Goebbels orchestrated a ritual whereby the aforementioned 16 Nazi heroes were honored as martyrs of the Reich who died, were resurrected and then achieved eternal life. An obvious copying of Christian ritual. So with the rituals of his new religion in place, Hitler unleashed the next steps of his plan.
It was a national socialism that determine your entire lifestyle, your thoughts….everything. The central piece is that you are willing to sacrifice yourself for your fatherland. Indoctrination into the Nazi faith began early and continued into adulthood.
Schoolchildren sang, “Adolph Hitler is our savior, our hero. He is the noblest being in the whole world. For Hitler we live. For Hitler we die. Our Hitler is our lord”
By 1935, Hitler created the “blood laws” that made it illegal to marry or have sex with a Jew.
"Creation is not finished. Man is clearly approaching a phase of metamorphosis. The earlier human species has already reached the stage of dying out.... All of the force of creation will be concentrated in a new species... [which] will surpass infinitely modern man.... Do you understand now the profound meaning of our National Socialist movement?" (Adolf Hitler, quoted by Hermann Rauschning, _Hitler ma'a dit [Hitler Speaks]_ p.147, translated in _The Occult and the Third Reich_, Jean & Michel Angebert, p.178.)
"You'll think I'm crazy, but listen to me: Hitler will bring us to a catastrophe. But his ideas, once they have been transformed, will acquire a new strength." (Joseph Goebbels to his aide-de-camp, Prince Schaumburg-Lippe, quoted in Angeberts, p.234)
