Historian Nicholas Goodrick- Clarke analyzed the topic in The Occult Roots of Nazism in which he argued there were in fact links between some ideals of Ariosophy and Nazi ideology. He also analyzed the problems of the numerous popular "occult historiography" books written on the topic. He sought to separate empiricism and sociology from the "Modern Mythology of Nazi Occultism" that exists in many books which "have represented the Nazi phenomenon as the product of arcane and demonic influence". He considered most of these to be "sensational and under- researched".[1]Goodrick- Clarke, the Völkisch movement, and ariosophy[edit]Historian Nicholas Goodrick- Clarke's 1.
The Occult Roots of Nazism, discussed the possibility of links between the ideas of the Occult and those of Nazism. The book's main subject was the racist- occult movement of Ariosophy, a major strand of Nationalist Esotericism in Germany and Austria during the 1. He described his work as "an underground history, concerned with the myths, symbols, and fantasies that bear on the development of reactionary, authoritarian, and Nazi styles of thinking". He focused on this unexamined topic of history because "fantasies can achieve a causal status once they have been institutionalized in beliefs, values, and social groups."[2]He describes the Völkisch movement as a sort of anti- modernist, anti- liberal reaction to the many political, social, and economic changes occurring in Germanic Europe in the late 1. Part of his argument is that the rapid industrialization and rise of cities changed the "traditional, rural social order" and ran into conflict with the "pre- capitalist attitudes and institutions" of the area.

He described the racially elitist Pan- Germanism movement of ethnic German Austrians as a reaction to Austria not being included in the German Empire of Bismarck.[2]Goodrick- Clarke opined that the Ariosophist movement took Völkisch ideas but added occultish themes about things like Freemasonry, Kabbalism, and Rosicrucianism in order to "prove the modern world was based on false and evil principles". The Ariosophist "ideas and symbols filtered through to several anti- semitic and Nationalist groups in late Wilhelmian Germany, from which the early Nazi Party emerged in Munich after the First World War." He showed some links between two Ariosophists and Heinrich Himmler.[2]The modern mythology of Nazi occultism[edit]There is a persistent idea, widely canvassed in a sensational genre of literature, that the Nazis were principally inspired and directed by occult agencies from 1.
Appendix E of Goodrick- Clarke's book is entitled The Modern Mythology of Nazi Occultism. In it, he gives a highly critical view of much of the popular literature on the topic. In his words, these books describe Hitler and the Nazis as being controlled by a "hidden power . He referred to the writers of this genre as "crypto- historians".[4] The works of the genre, he wrote,were typically sensational and under- researched. A complete ignorance of the primary sources was common to most authors and inaccuracies and wild claims were repeated by each newcomer to the genre until an abundant literature existed, based on wholly spurious 'facts' concerning the powerful Thule Society, the Nazi links with the East, and Hitler's occult initiation.[5]In a new preface for the 2.

Goodrick- Clarke comments that in 1. Nazi 'black magic' was regarded as a topic for sensational authors in pursuit of strong sales."[6]In his 2. Black Sun, which was originally intended to trace the survival of "occult Nazi themes" in the postwar period,[7] Goodrick- Clarke considered it necessary to readdress the topic. He devotes one Chapter of the book to "the Nazi mysteries",[8] as he terms the field of Nazi occultism there.
Other reliable summaries of the development of the genre have been written by German historians. The German edition of The Occult Roots.. Nationalsozialismus und Okkultismus" ("National Socialism and Occultism"), which traces the origins of the speculation about Nazi occultism back to publications from the late 1. Goodrick- Clarke into English. The German historian Michael Rißmann has also included a longer "excursus" about "Nationalsozialismus und Okkultismus" in his acclaimed book on Adolf Hitler's religious beliefs.[9]According to Goodricke- Clarke the speculation of Nazi occultism originated from "post- war fascination with Nazism".[3] The "horrid fascination" of Nazism upon the Western mind[1. The idolization of Hitler in Nazi Germany, its short lived dominion on the European continent and Nazism's extreme antisemitism set it apart from other periods of modern history.[1.
Outside a purely secular frame of reference, Nazism was felt to be the embodiment of evil in a modern twentieth- century regime, a monstrous pagan relapse in the Christian community of Europe."[1. By the early 1. 96. Nazism."[1. 0] A sensationalistic and fanciful presentation of its figures and symbols, shorn of all political and historical contexts", gained ground with thrillers, non- fiction books and films and permeated "the milieu of popular culture."[1. Historiography Concerning The Occult Roots of Nazism[edit]The Occult Roots of Nazism is commended for specifically addressing the fanciful modern depictions of Nazi Occultism, as well as carefully reflecting critical scholarly work that finds associations between Ariosophy with Nazi agency.
As scholar Anna Bramwell writes, “One should not be deceived by the title into thinking that it belongs to the 'modern mythology of Nazi occultism', a world of salacious fantasy convincingly dismembered by the author in an Appendix,” [1. Nazi Occultism” without providing any reliable or relevant evidence.
Instead, it is through Goodrick- Clarke’s work that several scholarly criticisms addressing Occult relevance in conjunction with Ariosophist practices arise. Historians like Martyn Housden and Jeremy Noakes commend Goodrick- Clarke for addressing the relationship between Ariosophic ideologies rooted in certain Germanic cultures and the actual agency of Nazi hierarchy; the problem, as Housden remarks, lies in the efficacy of these Ariosophic practices. As he remarks, “The true value of this study, therefore, lies in its painstaking elucidation of an intrinsically fascinating subculture which helped colour rather than cause aspects of Nazism. In this context, it also leaves us pondering a central issue: why on earth were Austrian and German occultists, just like the Nazi leadership, quite so susceptible to, indeed obsessed by, specifically aggressive racist beliefs anyway?”[1.
Noakes continues this general thought by concluding, “ (Goodrick- Clarke) provides not only a definitive account of the influence of Ariosophy on Nazism, a subject which is prone to sensationalism, but also fascinating insights into the intellectual climate of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.”[1. These reviews reflect the greatest dilemmas in Nazi Occultist scholarship; the discernment between actual efficacy of possible Occult practices by Nazi leaders, purpose of these practices, and modern notions and applications of Occultism today largely impact the appropriate scholarship in general in making connections between plausible Nazi Ariosophic practices and blatant popular myth.[1.
