German composer, pianist, organist and conductor Felix Mendelssohn died #onthisday in 1847 aged just 38. Pictured here, more than 50 years later, his music as a "thought form" emanating from a church: https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/victorian-occultism-and-the-art-of-synesthesia #otd

nazi occultism is smthn i think about often not for any other reason than because i think the idea of the nazis losing because they were too busy putting resources to try and put skeletons into berlin than anything important is really funny in a sort of mel brooks way

Mostly folklore involving magic, occultism, pagan rituals disguised as folk cures, houses with dead animals inside as protective spirits, etc. etc

And I've always loved that messy, real world stuff. Ever since I was kid reading Man, Myth & Magic Encyclopedia at too young an age

I was so on the ball earlier! The Tut vibes are sending me astray....

mostly himmler but this is the root of where you see a lot of nazi occultism stuff take root like hellboy or indiana jones or hydra in captain america

some sort of logical endpoint to the dead tendency in recent British literature towards "nature writing" & occultism

Found a copy of Christian Giudice's PHD dissertation Traditionalism and Occultism: Arturo Reghini and the Antimodern Reaction in Early Twentieth Century Italy. This will be heavy, but people like Giudice always makes me almost regret I didn't try to go into academia. Almost. #occultism #booksky

Doing occultism for the love of the game
Do think it's funny that historically there were dudes who knew they couldn't turn lead into gold but also knew that monarchs were inbred dipshits completely driven by greed so said crafty lads got to not be dirt farming peasants for a few years before either fleeing the land or getting glacked

Wolfenstein and CoD zombies sent me down the rabbit hole of Nazi occultism and that is some of the most insane shit I've read about.

The Empire of the original Star Wars was so obviously cribbed from WWII movies that Vader was basically a Rohm/Himmleresque leader of a composite party militia SA/SS (weird occultism, black uniform, "stormtroopers") while the imperial military including Tarkin were Wehrmacht (aristocratic, etc.)

And by that , i mean that I am a huge nerd about theosophy and eugenics and 20th century occultism and the influences etc. ...

But, also, that I think I am going to end up commissioning some insanely large, detailed astral wedding commission from some artist after all of this, and I ain't rich!??

i have my deep conversations about theology with lucy and it goes over ashlee's head (although not as much as it used to i think)

i have my deep conversations about occultism with ashlee and i think lucy still can't quite shake the feeling that it's vaguely evil (even tho the Christian practices

nazi zombies as a trope exists in a threeway intersection of actual historical research involving the party and their stint with occultism and also trying to make The Most Actually Just Straight Up Irredeemably Evil Thing one could imagine for the sake of pulp

I think to me cyberpunk doesnt need to feel real, in fact i prefer technology as occultism and very heightened action, shadowrun for me just feels very very messy wheb dollopped over the cyberpunk world.

Fascism has always been the perversion of socialism and like how socialism understands itself to be in the workers' best interests based on economic material reality, they think the same but because of racial occultism
