博客來In 1935, Yrjö von Grönhagen, a 24-year old Finnish student at Sorbonne, Paris, decided to walk across Europe back to his native country. By a strange twist of fate, the following summer he would lead an ethnological expedition to Karelian woods in search of the lost magic of Aryans.
Appointed as the head of the Finnish department in Ahnenerbe, a scholarly institution that was destined to become the greatest in the world, von Grönhagen witnessed ＂intuitive＂ mystics clash with classical archaeologists; lodging with the eccentric SS-Gruppenführer Karl-Maria ＂Weisthor＂ Wiligut, dubbed ＂Himmler’s Lord of the Runes＂ and ＂The Secret King of Germany,＂ he saw shady occultists come and go.
Originally published in Finnish in 1948, Himmler’s Secret Society provides a unique account of so-called Nazi Occultism as experienced by contemporaries who witnessed it first hand.
