Nazi Occultism
2 documented theories filed under this subject.
- The Nazis Kicking Out Freemasons and the Occult from GermanyThis theory focuses on the Nazi regime’s campaign to purge Germany of independent esoteric, occult, and fraternal networks—especially Freemasons, astrologers, occultists, spiritualists, and related secretive circles. In conspiratorial interpretations, the purge was not simply ideological housekeeping, but a struggle for control over hidden knowledge, symbolic power, and underground influence. Some versions argue the Nazis wanted to destroy rival secret societies and occult authorities so that only state-controlled mysticism, racial mythology, and regime-approved esotericism would remain.
- The Vril SocietyThe Vril Society is a conspiracy-lore secret society said to have emerged in Germany around the early 20th century and to have pursued esoteric knowledge, psychic communication, hidden energy, and contact with higher or nonhuman intelligences. In most versions of the theory, the society drew on the concept of “Vril,” a mysterious force originating in Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s 1871 novel The Coming Race, then evolved into an occult order tied to Aryan mysticism, subterranean beings, Nazi occultism, and advanced antigravity technology. Later legends added claims that the society worked with female mediums, received transmissions from Aldebaran, and contributed to secret German flying disc programs.
