Cult of the Black Sun

The following is an excerpt from my book “Black Sun Rising”, an expose of the connections between National Socialism, the New Age Movement and the current Progressive Movement. While we hear much about the connection between National Socialism and the occult, we rarely hear about the continuing legacy of Nazi occultism and it’s spread in our modern world. This peculiar brand of occultism is known as Esoteric Hiterlism or as I prefer to call it, the Cult of the Black Sun. While its roots are certainly found in the almost fanatical devotion to Hitler himself, which was a key point of National Socialist dogma, it branched out beyond fidelity to a mere political leader, lending Hitler an undoubtedly divine status. National Socialism, for the staunchest er, was not simply a political philosophy, despite Hitler’s statements to the contrary. It was an entirely occult worldview that encomed politics, science, race, ecology, religion, and family. And the ultimate goal was to establish a “Pan-Aryan” world of National Socialist paganism. While many would assume that occult dream died with the destruction of the Third Reich the truth is that this cult has continued to exist even to this very day. Strangely it gained renewed strength through the efforts of a woman of Greek heritage. No other figure of National Socialist history has done more to promote this religion of Hitler than a European born Indophile who assumed the name Savitri Devi. She is infamously known as Hitler’s Priestess and the Priestess of the Black Sun. Racist Occultism What is the Black Sun? The term itself comes from the German “Schwarze Sonne”, and variably known as the “Sonnenrad” (Sun Wheel). It is an occult symbol connected to the German NeoPaganism of the time of Adolf Hitler that was by it’s very nature racist to the extreme. Much of the occult influence on the National Socialists came from the Thule Society. It appears that the Thule Society was obsessed with the supposed secret origins of the Aryan race. This organization also appears to have been a precursor to the SS in many ways, including the requirement of Aryan purity for hip. New of the Thule Society had to sign an oath that included the following: “The signer hereby swears to the best of his knowledge and belief that no Jewish or colored blood flows in either his or his wife’s veins, and that among their ancestors are no of the colored races.” This certainly echoes the subsequent requirement of SS to demonstrate “pure Aryan” blood going back to the early 16th century. Thule also believed that the Aryan (a term

stolen from Hinduism and as used by Thule and the National Socialists always a racist occult term for Germanic) race came from the lost land of “Ultima Thule”, said to be the capital of Hyperborea, believed by Nazi mystics to have been a lost land mass near what is now Greenland or Iceland. Thule also considered this to be the same place as Atlantis. This belief, as well as others, connects these racial occultists to Helena Blavatsky, who picked up the very same ideas from Thule sources and employed them in Theosophy. She in fact made subtle mention of Hitler as an adept in her writings, as we will see later. The Thule Society attracted large numbers from military, military veterans, and radical political activists. Some estimates places their numbers at 2000 in Bavaria alone. Most were more interested in promoting anti-semitism and fighting Communism than they were the occult elements of the society. This propelled its to seek to overthrow the government. In December 1918 they attempted and failed to kidnap the socialist Prime Minister, Kurt Eisner. Then in April 1919 the Bavarian Revolution began, after which Thule were accused of infiltrating the government in pursuit of a coup. Also in 1918 the society purchased a newspaper which would become infamous. The Munchener Beobachter (Munich Observer) served as the official newspaper of the Thule Society, eventually becoming the Volkischer Beobachter (Peoples Observer), the main National Socialist newspaper in . On January 5th, 1919 Anton Drexler, a Thule Society member, formed the German Workers Party. It was this party that Adolf Hitler ed and became the leader of by February 1920, renaming it the National Socialist German Workers Party. Soon other of the Thule Society ed the National Socialists, such as Dietrich Ekhart, Gottfried Fedder, Hans Frank, Hermann Goring, Karl Haushofer, Rudolf Hess, and Heinrich Himmler. Thus the connection to “folkish occultism” is undeniable in the history of National Socialism. This pagan dream of an occult New World Order has not died. It continues to live today in various guises. According to former SS member Wilhelm Landig, the Black Sun symbolizes “a substitute swastika and mystical source of energy capable of regenerating the Aryan race.” This is the very same symbol found in Wewelsburg Castle, the mystical enclave of the SS and home of Heinrich Himmler. Around this symbol strange rituals were performed, which we still know nothing of their contents today. This is the symbol of the Cult of the Black Sun, which today serves as a symbol of the rise of the Fourth Reich- a New World Order. Savitri Devi Savitri wasn’t German as one might expect of such an ardent Nazi, but French, and of Greek and English parentage. She had become obsessed with the National Socialist Party in the late 1920′s as well as the Indo-European myth of colonization of India. She moved to India to immerse herself in the culture, which she saw as the earliest manifestation of Hitler’s Aryan race and the potential model for the coming Aryan Golden Age. She viewed the most rigid application of the caste system as being the natural manifestation of Aryan survival and the height of its culture. She spent the entirety of the reign of the Third Reich and of World War II in India hoping for an Axis victory, after which she and her Brahmin husband (more on him to follow) hoped to assist in the establishment of a racially pure National Socialist subcontinent. During these years she developed her own peculiar religion. In essence the cult she developed is very much akin to Theosophy, being a synthesis of Hinduism, Nordic mythology, and National Socialist racial theory that included the mythological polar origin of the Aryan race, the Vedic cyclical view of human history, and the centrality of the incarnation of Kalki, whom she viewed to be Hitler. She regarded the Third Reich as “the holy land of the west, the stronghold of regenerate Aryanism.” Oddly enough, this virulent racist married Dr. Asit Krishna Mukherji, perhaps India’s only true National Socialist. Mukherji was well versed in National Socialist philosophy and political theory, and from 1935-1937 he published the pro-National Socialist paper “The New Mercury”. Mukherji openly praised the Thule Society and it’s influence on National Socialism and may have helped his wife form many of her mystical

ideas. Savitri began writing her book on the Pharaoh Akhenaton during the war years, and even chose him as her personal deity to whom she rendered worship. Eventually she developed her own trinitarian divinity which included the Pharaoh, Genghis Khan, and Adolf Hitler. When the Third Reich collapsed she became a National Socialist apologist throughout Europe. At one point the British occupation forces in arrested her for promoting National Socialism by distributing pro-Nazi leaflets and literature. While in prison for three years she became friends with many Nazi’s who were unrepentant. After her release from prison she made even more friends from among those committed Nazi’s hiding in the underground such as Hans Ulrich Rudel, a much decorated Nazi fighter pilot, and the Nazi commando leader Otto Skorzeny who played a key role in maintaining a global Nazi network. She met with many Nazi’s fleeing to Spain, Egypt and the Middle East and was a founding member of the World Union of National Socialists in the 1970′s. She was embraced by these unrepentant Nazi’s because her writings added renewed strength to the National Socialist underground by transforming what many felt was a now dead political philosophy into a spirituality of race, mythology, deep ecology, and deification of Hitler. For Savitri and other of this cult Hitler’s words in his last will and political testament were prophecy: “It is necessary that I should die for my people; but my spirit will rise from the grave and the world will know I was right.” Savitri might have simply faded into the shadows of a terrible neo-Nazi history if not for the work of notorious Holocaust Revisionist Ernst Zundel. In 1982, this notorious Nazi published and promoted Savitri Devi and her teachings. Her writings promoted a National Socialist metaphysic that encomed her strange mystical ideas and connections between Hitler and Akhenaten, animal rights, and “Green” ideology (with a decidedly National Socialist slant), vegetarianism, and as noted earlier, Hitler as the avatar Kalki. Kalki is an avatar of Vishnu, who in Hinduism is believed to be the final coming avatar who will destroy confusion and ignorance. Interestingly, Savitri stated that the only problem with this avatar was that he was too comionate. In other words, in her view Hitler should have been more brutal. Essentially, she built around Hitler a mythological tapestry drawing on a variety of religious symbols that appealed not only to racist groups, but some sections of the New Age Movement, particularly those dedicated to traditional Theosophy. Her ideas actually do much to reveal the very real and deep shared connections between the spiritual background from which National Socialism sprang and the New Age Movement itself. She viewed humanity in relationship to nature in a very impersonalist way. Nature in her view is a constant struggle of violence in which humanity had no special rights or exalted place. She stated: “I worship impersonal nature,which is neither good or bad, and knows neither love nor hatred.” - The Pilgrimage Oddly enough, much like Hitler, she demonstrated a very special love for animals, while exhibiting contempt for “non-Aryan” humanity, the weak, and the handicapped. She shares this in common with Himmler and Alfred Rosenberg as well, both of whom loved animals but viewed segments of human society as “unworthy of human life.” Once the crimes of the Third Reich came to light and the world learned of the Holocaust Savitri had this to say: “A ‘civilization’ that makes such a ridiculous fuss about alleged ‘war crimes’ – acts of violence against the actual or potential enemies of one’s cause – and tolerates slaughterhouses and vivisection laboratories, and circuses and the fur industry (infliction of pain upon creatures that can never be for or against any cause), does not deserve to live.”

Such was her cold concern for fellow human beings that animals were considered of more value in her philosophy. Her book “The Impeachment of Man” (1959) was a manifesto against the Judeo-Christian worldview. In fact, she actively worked as an “anti-missionary” in India. She toured tribal villages and engaged in arranged debates with Christian missionaries and was reportedly very successful in her efforts to keep people from converting to Christianity. This wasn’t because she held some deep conviction of the truth of Hinduism, but more a reflection of her hatred for Christianity as a Jewish religion, and really as an act of deception. Commenting on this she said, “From the racist Aryan viewpoint, it was necessary to give the most backward and degenerate aborigines a false Hindu consciousness.” For her, keeping these people Hindu meant that they would eventually be easily assimilated into a National Socialist society as a slave class. A repugnant opinion at best. She eventually took to traveling across Europe, speaking at gatherings of white supremacists and National Socialists, extolling the virtues of “Aryan purity”, dedication to Hitler as the “man against time” (a phrase denoting his divine authority to defy the ages), and the Nazi mantra of “blood and soil”. Finally in 1982 the priestess of the Black Sun died in the home of a friend preparing for a speaking tour of National Socialist groups in America. But this was not to be the end of the cult for which she was the primary apostle. It would continue to grow and gather followers. Ecofascism Many astute researchers have noted the connections between Theosophy, the New Age Movement and National Socialism. These cannot be ignored or overlooked since it is a fact that each of these movements share the same occult worldview, and in fact promote many of the same socio-political ideologies. This is not to say the average New Ager who loves his or her quartz crystals and meditates daily is a Nazi. That isn’t it at all. However it is to suggest that the leaders of the New Age subculture are certainly complicit in promoting social and political programs that are patently occult oriented, scientifically rooted in eugenics, and on a governmental level clearly fascist. Many of these leaders are also leaders of the radical left, and some the so called “radical middle”, such as Dennis Kucinich. The Green Movement, very much an appendage of the New Age socio-political subculture, is simply a continuing of the “Wandervodel” in from 1900-1933. These Wandervogel were deeply interested in communal life, Eastern mysticism, German folk occultism, and a hatred for cities and industrial advancement. Interestingly, these precursors to the hippies identified with the political left, and found a perfect home in the National Socialist Party, to which they flocked enmasse due in no small part to the National Socialist acceptance of the very same Green Principles and political theories. In the west history has been distorted so that our view of National Socialism is limited to its cruelty, crimes and brutality. What is lost, perhaps by the design of leftist educational institutions, are the patently leftist and liberal policies of National Socialism. Forgotten are the National Socialist strong beliefs in radical Green policies, nature spirituality, state paganism, a fascination with matriarchy, and ecological concerns that demanded every member of the state live with a consciousness of the human connection with the planet. The entire mood of National Socialism was what can only be called a New Age consciousness, shaped and informed by Hitler, Himmler, Rosenberg and other National Socialist “mystics”. Albert Speer wrote in his diary how Germans who ed Hitler desired a “close with nature”. And much like the New Age ecologists of today he wrote that they were “escaping from the demands of a world growing increasingly complicated.” They sought purity, a sense of spirituality and connectedness to their universe just as the New Age adherent does today. This of course demands the rejection of a modern society and capitalism, which is yet another commonality between National Socialism and the New Age Left. One major example of the appeal to those with a Green mindset of the National Socialist Party is the case of Leni Roefenstahl. Her radical environmentalism is what drew her to National Socialism. In her 1935 propaganda film “Triumph of the Will” made sure to highlight this ecological side of National Socialism when in one memorable scene, rather than focus on the armed

military, she focused on uniformed men with shovels over their shoulders who shout out “We plant trees!” After the war she continued to defend her role in National Socialist while at the same time becoming a vocal environmentalist. She carried on the National Socialist tribal mentality by shifting her attention to a Sudanese tribe known as the Nuba. Her work for the Nuba was simply a transferral of her former National Socialist reasoning. As a Nazi she was protecting and defending the racially pure Aryan from Jewish Communism and the evils of capitalism. Now for the Nuba she was protecting them from the corruption of capitalism and a technological world gone wild. The same leftist ideas in a different setting. It should come as no surprise that she eventually became involved with Greenpeace before her death in 2003. Posted by Fr. Jack Ashcraft at 6:15 AM
