Nazi Occultism provides a serious scholarly study of a topic that is often marred by sensationalism and misinformation. The Morning of the Magicians by Pauwels and Bergier (1960) gave rise to the idea that a secret society with wide powers, the "Thule society", was the hidden and ignored centre of Nazism. The influence of this very real small group is, however, only a fantasy, a myth. The author, a historian specializing in neo-Nazism, looks back on this speculative construction, its origins, its ideological tinkering and the practices which have succeeded in forming a sort of radical and sulphurous counterculture which has created a fascination with esotericism and Nazism and the SS. To better understand it, he also paints a portrait of some of the authors who contributed to this extremist subculture, such as the Italian esotericist Julius Evola, the Argentine anthropologist Jacques-Marie de Mahieu, Chilean neo-Nazi Miguel Serrano, and the writer Jean-Paul Bourre. This book will appeal to scholars, researchers and activists as well as general readers with an interest in the history of Nazism and the occult.

" De ma fenetre je vois les avions qui descendent par paliers sur Roissy. Je fume, accoude a la barre d'appui, ajuste le lance-missile virtuel Sam 7 que je tiens a l'epaule, et j'en descends deux. J'imagine l'avion rempli de poupees de celluloid, aussi irreelles et abstraites que des statistiques, a d'autres moments l'avion est rempli d'huissiers, de juges, de representants de la Loi. Je fais le nettoyage, en silence, a ma maniere. J'ai vu l'explosion, qu'ils n'ont pas pu voir, pas pu ressentir, je l'ai vue avec mes yeux, entendue avec mes oreilles - la vibration sourde, en echo sur les tympans - puis plus rien, du bleu de fumee, et le silence dans le ciel.
