    Nazi Occultism
    Dec 19 2024
    Were the Nazis motivated by a desire to return Northern religious practises across Europe? Isn't this obvious? Nazis used runes, after all! From Thulianism to Fanon, the hinterland of Nazi ideology proves a little more complicated.

Fascinating! Practical & thought-provoking

An engaging thought experiment! Humans need ritual and meaningful narrative to enable healing of our personal and societal hurts. Most of us are not getting this from our immediate family traditions. Rune shows an impressively broad knowledge of world culture and societal illness, and suggests some practical approaches.

Can we find useful tales in our (authentic) Nordic past to guide us today? Can we work together to create new meaningful rituals to sustain us in our troubled times? The answer is Yes. His analysis is engaging and open-minded. No ranting, no propaganda. Inclusive, not extremist, views.
