The belief that all things have a spirit or soul, including animals, plants, rivers, mountains, stars, the moon, and the sun, concerned and dominated the human affairs around the globe since the prehistory era. This entities had their counterpart in spirit world and were capable of helping or harming human interests if the law that govern their nature and their functions were not followed with care and respect.
The today religions of the world evolved from the prehistoric"doctrine of souls"that arose from spontaneous reflection of the afterlife and the order in which Nature works and how its laws applied to us. We are free to choose between the laws that respect the order of things or our own laws that bring chaos and destruction of our own world.
The Thule Society was a German occultist group founded in Munich in 1912. It was named after a mythical spirit that the Greek explorer Pyth-Eas defined as the spirit of the land of the north. The description says that it was no longer a proper land nor sea, no air, but a sort of mixture of all three of the consistency of a jellyfish in which one can neither walk, nor sail, holding everything together.
The idea that the lost civilization of the Teutons had possessed psychic abilities that were far beyond the technical achievements of the 20th century and the belief that their race, the Aryans, were superior than any other race, linked all of them with the same spirit that moved them to go deep in the magical arts of the occultism with the aim of rediscover the secrets at any costs of this legendary civilization.
The Order was much more than an innocent study group. It was a secret brotherhood of prominent occultists. The different groups of believers were influenced variously by the Pythagorists, the Neoplatonics, the British mystic Madame Blavatsky, the Rosicrucians, Jacob Bohme, Paracelcus, etc.
One of its members founded a journal in 1902. In it they argued that the Jewish influences had contaminated Germany. Their aim was to coordinate the activities of the many small organizations active at that time and to bring as many as these as possible under its banner, the swastika facing counter-clockwise and the dagger, preaching racial purity and anti-semitism from mid-19th century.
Members were affluent and influential leading figures in Munich society: Rudolf Hess, Alfred Rosen-Berg, Hans Frank, Julius Lehman, Gott-Fried Feder, Dietrich Eckart, and Karl Harrer.
Before Hitler came into contact with the Thule society in 1919, the group had already been organizing public talks on various Celtic and Teutonic cultural topics for some time. However, the public was not aware of the real purpose of the group and what really took place at the secret meetings, to which only Thule members were invited.
In the rituals, light, color, rhythms, symbols, aromas, et., were used to focus mental powers and channels in a specific directions in order to find the portals formed in the magnetic field and use them as a means of communication with the underworld.
Women were scarcely represented in the Order, the higher level of initiation being reserved exclusively for men. Those wishing to join had to complete a questionnaire and submit a photograph, which was examined for purity of race.
The Order was not content merely with influencing material wealth through organizations covered up as Social and Non-profitable, the order was also politically active. When the Bavarian King was deposed and the communists took power in November 1918, the opulent meeting place of the Order, the luxury Four Seasons Hotel, became a centre of counter-revolutionary activities. The Order also set up a fighting division that took an active part in the power struggle during the revolution in Munich.
In April 1919, it enlisted volunteers, who were smuggled by train to participate in the attack against the communist regime from there. After the overthrown of the communist government in May 1919, the Order shifted its political activities to the field of propaganda. In October 1918, when German defeat was imminent, the Order established a Political Workers' Union, from which the German Workers' Party arose. Individual members of the Order then appeared as speakers in the Workers' Party.
Hitler came across the small, insignificant party during a lecture in September 1919. Soon afterwards, he became the 55th member of the Party. Hitler certainly knew how to use the power of this Order to his advantage. Their patronage and financial support was of decisive importance during the initial period of his race.
The Order was significant to the Nazi movement not just because Hitler assumed control of the German Workers' Party from it. The Grand Master of the Order sold to Hitler to Hitler the Eher publishing house in 1920. Hitler turned the newspaper into the National Observer, which quickly became the most important weapon in the Nazi propaganda arsenal. Hitler also appropriated the Thule Society's emblem, the swastika, as well as the 'Sieg Heil' form of greeting.
The Grand Master claimed that it was his suit of armor that helped Hitler to gain power in a period of time that would otherwise seem unnaturally short.
