In the shadowy corridors of power within the Third Reich, a figure lurked whose beliefs in mystical runes and ancient Germanic lore would leave a dark imprint on history— a man, known in some esoteric circles, as the secret king of Nazi occultism. He was a self-proclaimed mystic and rune magician, who claimed to possess ancestral clairvoyant memory that could trace back to pagan times, long before Christian influence touched the Germanic tribes.
Advising Heinrich Himmler, one of the most powerful men in Nazi Germany, he contributed to the ideological fabric of the SS, infusing it with his own blend of Teutonic myths, esoteric symbols, and a vision of a renewed pagan Reich. Under his influence, Himmler would endeavor to reshape the SS into an elite racial cadre of pseudo-religious warriors.
