There is much speculation about the “occult roots†of National Socialism; yet little concrete documentation has ever been uncovered. Of the materials that do exist; almost nothing has been translated into English--until now. This book; ten years in the making; contains the collected occult writings of Karl Maria Wiligut; the runic initiate and shadowy “Secret King†of Germany. His works were originally published in the rare ariosophical journals Hag All All Hag and Hagal. Heinrich Himmler --the leader of the SS and possibly the most powerful figure in the Third Reich-- commissioned Wiligut to write private reports on Runes; secret Germanic traditions; and prehistory. It was through this position of influence that Wiligut came to be known after his death as “Himmler’s Rasputin.†Adeptly translated by Germanic history expert Dr. Stephen E. Flowers and edited by Michael Moynihan; these writings allow a glimpse into the strange magical world that enchanted high-ranking officials of Nazi Germany. For anyone fascinated about the role occultism played in the Third Reich; here is the evidence. Never before have source documents of this nature been made available to the English-speaking world! The Secret King contains: A full-length biographical introduction about Wiligut’s turbulent life and exploring his magical worldview -- Translations of all Wiligut’s major writings -- Wiligut’s mysterious invocations; the “Halgarita-Sayings†-- Translations of private documents Wiligut submitted directly to the Reichsführer-SS; Heinrich Himmler -- Essays on Wiligut’s cosmology and traditions by other ariosophists of the past and present -- Himmler’s own report of an SS name-giving ritual; attended by the inner circle of SS leaders and presided over by Wiligut -- An exclusive interview with Gabriele Winckler-Dechend; Wiligut’s closest colleague from his period of service in the SS.

This is just one example of the testimonies of the mothers who children "disappeared" In a time of dictatorship; children were disappearing left and right with no explanation. All of the mothers banned together and marched in a circle on Thursdays in the Plaza; hence the name Cirlce of Love. The main focus of the mothers was trying to get information. Any information at all would be taken with great depth and give them hope to carry on.This book really speaks about the love that these women had for their children and the love they still carry on. Even when they only got silence when questioning authorities they still marched on. They even marched on after they knew that all the disappeared were dead.These women and mothers not only had to struggle dealing with their childen's disappearance; but they were also forced to live in fear. Parent's had to fear their children's activities; whether they be students going to a school meetings; teachers; or working towards a career; everything was a motive for repression. Because of the disappearances so many loved ones were forced to change their way of life. They changed their habits and social and family customs. Everyone was forced into live in fear.This is a very emotional book. But I think that it is something that everyone should read and be aware of. The testimonies of these women are the truth; and there is no hiding the truth.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Ordinary women struggle valiently for long-deferred justice.By A CustomerCircle of Love Over Death paints a realistic; and inspiring; picture of how "ordinary" women faced with terrible loss(es)-- the loss of their children -- are fighting for justice. There is background text for each chapter; followed by testimonies of mothers whose sons and daughters "disappeared." The "children" (most of whom were in their late teens to mid-twenties) were from varied backgrounds and ethnic groups; but they shared a deep desire to better the lives of the poor; and acted upon that desire. This was their crime.The mothers' testimonies often relate gruesome; shocking details. Their stories are filled with not only indescribable pain and loss; but with the adamant refusal to be a victim.After more than twenty years; and at risk of personal safety; these courageous women continue their struggle. Their goal is twofold: for justice for the disappeared; and to call the world's attention to this flagrant violation of human rights. Their Thursday afternoon marches around the Plaza de Mayo have attracted worldwide attention and support.Warning: This book may inspire you to become more involved with social justice and global concern for humanity.
