Some who have studied the Führer’s past and the roots of his Third Reich claim that key figures in the Nazi Party actually practiced [[black magic]]. Hitler himself recounts that the years of his youth from 1909 to 1913 were the most vital, formative years of his life, during which he learned all that he needed to know to assume the leadership role in the Nazi party. During that period he experimented with drugs and made an in-depth study of medieval occultism and ritual magic.<ref>Ravenscroft, ''Spear of Destiny'', p. xxi.</ref> | Some who have studied the Führer’s past and the roots of his Third Reich claim that key figures in the Nazi Party actually practiced [[black magic]].

Key members of the Nazi Party are said to have been part of an occult society known as the Thule Group. According to Trevor Ravenscroft, the inner circle within the Thule were [[Satanist]]s who practiced [[black magic]]. Thule was the name of the center of a vanished civilization like [[Atlantis]]. Initiates of the Thule Group believed that Great Ones of the Ancient World would place at their disposal a reservoir of forces which could be drawn upon to enable Germany to dominate the world and become the cradle of a coming race of Supermen. German armies would set out to annihilate all that stood in the way of their “spiritual” destiny. Such was the myth upon which the Aryan doctrine was founded. | Key members of the Nazi Party are said to have been part of an occult society known as the Thule Group.
