The Secret King: The Myth and Reality of Nazi Occultism by Stephen E. Flowers and Michael Moynihan dismantles popular myths about Nazi occultism while examining the actual esoteric practices of Heinrich Himmler’s SS. It focuses on Karl-Maria Wiligut, the "Secret King of Germany" and rune magician, who influenced SS rituals and aimed to revive an ancient "Irminist" faith. The book is aimed at providing a more grounded, scholarly, yet detailed understanding of how occult ideology influenced the inner circles of the Nazi party.
