In this episode, Fortean Winds begins a multi-part exploration of an esoteric current that predates the Third Reich, shaped the worldview of key Nazi figures, and may still be influencing modern systems of belief, power, and perception today.
We trace the "occult thread" from the mystical teachings of Helena Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society, through the racialized myth-making of Guido von List and Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels, into the heart of Nazi ideology—particularly its grip on Heinrich Himmler and the SS. Along the way, we look at the Thule Society, the Ahnenerbe, and why Hitler—though perhaps skeptical—couldn’t escape the esoteric storm swirling around him.
Is there a system of symbolic control, ancient myth, and psychological manipulation at work—one that's bigger than any single regime?
Join RamX, Bones and the Fortean Winds team as we open this investigation into the hidden currents beneath modern history.
