Zone1 The religion or spirituality of Adolf Hitler?

[DennisPTate]

If it is true that Adolf Hitler might have used the name "Odin" for "God" then this is quite interesting because I read information over these past three or four decades that could possibly connect "Odin" with "Zeus" of Greek fame and Zeus seems to be connected with "Azazel" of Leviticus chapter sixteen as well as The Book of Enoch?

I could be wrong....
I often am....
but if it is true that "Odin" = "Zeus" and if "Zeus" = "Azazel" then Leviticus chapter sixteen and chapter thirteen of the Book of Enoch may hint that perhaps Azazel will be the allegorical "General Abner" of the fallen angelic or fallen Watchers kingdom, who may well bring at least one, if not several, of the Purgatory or Hell Realms to Messiah Yeshua - Jesus, much as the Apostle Paul tried his best to bring the Roman Empire and even the Jewish people over to Messiah Yeshua - Jesus?

"Hitler's religion was a mixture of Paganism and spiritualism. If he had to name a God, it would be Odin" [BobNewhart]

The God Behind Hitler's National Socialism​

“And Aaron shall offer the bull as a sin offering for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house. 7;Then he shall take the two goats, and set them before the Lord at the door of the tent of meeting; 8;and Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for Aza′zel. 9;And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the Lord, and offer it as a sin offering; 10;but the goat on which the lot fell for Aza′zel shall be presented alive before the Lord to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to Aza′zel.

Bible Gateway passage: Leviticus 16 - Revised Standard Version

The Day of Atonement - The LORD spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before the LORD and died; and the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother not to come at all times into the holy place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is upon the ark...

The fall of Azazel and 208 or so "Watchers" in The Book of Enoch fits with all of this somehow?

Chapter 1​

1The word of the blessing of Enoch, how he blessed the elect and the righteous, who were to exist in the time of trouble; rejecting all the wicked and ungodly. Enoch, a righteous man, who was (1) with God, answered and spoke, while his eyes were open, and while he saw a holy vision in the heavens. This the angels showed me.

(1) N.B. The italicized words supply a gap in the text.


2From them I heard all things, and understood what I saw; that which will not take place in this generation, but in a generation which is to succeed at a distant period, on account of the elect.


3Upon their account I spoke and conversed with him, who will go forth from his habitation, the Holy and Mighty One, the God of the world:


4Who will hereafter tread upon Mount Sinai; appear with his hosts; and be manifested in the strength of his power from heaven.


5All shall be afraid, and the Watchers be terrified.


6Great fear and trembling shall seize them, even to the ends of the earth. The lofty mountains shall be troubled, and the exalted hills depressed, melting like a honeycomb in the flame. The earth shall be immerged, and all things which are in it perish; while judgment shall come upon all, even upon all the righteous:


7But to them shall he give peace: he shall preserve the elect, and towards them exercise clemency.


8Then shall all belong to God; be happy and blessed; and the splendour of the Godhead shall illuminate them.

Germany was a Christian country when Hitler rose to power. 65% were Lutherans and 35% were Catholics, almost every person identified as Christian.

Antismeitism originated in Christian Europe and reached its Zenith under the Nazis, there's no way you can paint this as originating in some obscure Odin silliness.

You have made some very good points in your post. What do you think of the article that Protestant Reformer, [and former Roman Catholic priest or monk], Martin Luther wrote about the Jewish people back in 1543?

Do you think that Adolf Hitler got any ideas from Martin Luther of the Protestant Reformation?

Anti-Semitism: Martin Luther - "The Jews & Their Lies"​

(1543)
Play ArticlePrint
At the beginning of his career, Martin Luther was apparently sympathetic to Jewish resistance to the Catholic Church. However, he expected the Jews to convert to his purified Christianity; when they did not, he turned violently against them.

Luther used violent and vulgar language throughout his career. While we do not expect religious figures to use this sort of language in the modern world, but it was not uncommon in the early 16th century.

The following are excerpts from Luther’s work entitled The Jews & their Lies.

I had made up my mind to write no more either about the Jews or against them. But since I learned that these miserable and accursed people do not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I have published this little book, so that I might be found among those who opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews who warned the Christians to be on their guard against them. I would not have believed that a Christian could be duped by the Jews into taking their exile and wretchedness upon himself. However, the devil is the god of the world, and wherever God’s word is absent he has an easy task, not only with the weak but also with the strong. May God help us. Amen.

And now to begin to make the possible connection between Zeus with Azazel?

Leda and the Swan is a Greek mythological tale where Zeus disguises himself as a swan to seduce or rape the Spartan queen Leda. She subsequently lays eggs, hatching children including Helen of Troy and Pollux, often linked to the Trojan War. It is a popular, often violent, theme in art and literature, notably in W.B. Yeats' poem.

The Spartans by the way may be associated with the ancient Lost Tribe of Israel known as Dan?

[Stryder50]

The Nazi organization, Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party -NSDAP, was based in part on linkages to older German pagan mythology. Which is loosely similar to other Nordic mythology. Hints of such show up in some of the symbols/sigils used as well as the rituals,especially with the SS. Hitler as a member of the NSDAP would also have been influenced in similar way, and then some.

There is bit controversy as to how to classify Hitler's religion/spiritual belief and one thread is that he was involved with Satanism in one form or another.There is a range of articles and books published along this theme, alas the tend to contradict each other and produce a muddle of sorts.

Secular minds, especially those that reject religion(s) and spiritualism, will claim this is all blarney and Hitler's power and influence can be explained by secular theories of sociology.

Less "secular only" minds see some form of Occultism, paganism, and/or Satanism as being what could be considered a "religion" to Hitler and his close associates. Some researchers claim that Hitler was strongly influenced by a few founders/inner circle of what would become Nazism, who were themselves into occultism, and hence Hitler was often "taken over" by some evil/satanic spirit.

There are some available sources on this, but with the variations and contradicts between them, the real path is left to the researcher to pick from. I'll provide a few of the more common;

Occultism in Nazism​

...
The association of Nazism with occultism occurs in a wide range of theories, speculation, and research into the origins of Nazism and into Nazism's possible relationship with various occult traditions. Such ideas have flourished as a part of popular culture since at least the early 1940s (during World War II), and gained renewed popularity starting in the 1960s.
...
In Goodrick-Clarke's view, the Ariosophist movement built on the earlier ideas of the Völkisch movement, a traditionalist, pan-German response to industrialization and urbanization, but it associated the problems of modernism specifically with the supposed misdeeds of Freemasonry, Kabbalah, and Rosicrucianism in order to "prove the modern world was based on false and evil principles". The Ariosophist "ideas and symbols filtered through to several anti-semitic and Nationalist groups in late Wilhelmian Germany, from which the early Nazi Party emerged in Munich after the First World War." He demonstrated links between two Ariosophists and Heinrich Himmler.
...
The first allusions that Hitler was directed by occult forces which were taken up by the later authors came from French Christian esotericist René Kopp. In two articles published in the monthly esoteric journal Le Chariot from June 1934 and April 1939, he seeks to trace the source of Hitler's power to supernatural forces. The second article was titled: "L'Enigme du Hitler". In other French esoteric journals of the 1930s, Hakl could not find similar hints. In 1939 another French author, Edouard Saby, published a book: Hitler et les Forces Occultes. Saby already mentions Hanussen and Ignaz Trebitsch-Lincoln. Hakl suggests that Edouard Saby would have the copyright on the myth of Nazi occultism.

However, another significant book from 1939 is better known: Hermann Rauschning's Hitler Speaks. There it is said (in the chapter "Black and White Magic"), that "Hitler surrendered himself to forces that carried him away. … He turned himself over to a spell, which can, with good reason and not simply in a figurative analogy, be described as demonic magic." The chapter "Hitler in private" is even more dramatic, and was left out in the German edition from 1940.
