The Secret King
This despite the fact that the traditions of Wiligut were known in small circles since the 1930s. Of course, proof of the authenticity—in the academic sense—of the Wiligut-traditions will hardly be found, as this uncertainty lies in the nature of the material and so there will certainly be a tug-of-war over these traditions similar to that surrounding the Ura Linda Book.1 With the publication of these long-hidden traditions of our own forebears not only are fundamental traditions placed in our hands once again—which can be a welcome complement to what has been discovered previously—but with these also come age-old difficulties and fateful entanglements. At least superficially these traditions had disappeared from the consciousness of white people, and therefore fulfilled the function of what is referred to in psychology as a so-called “repression.” For the revelation of the traditions of Karl Maria Wiligut causes us to awaken to an awareness in which we see all the suffering we have endured in our history in a completely new light and to become aware once more of the range of these discoveries. For who is not able to recognize that for many centuries, and even millennia, the dark powers of a dubious, demonic opposing force, a force which always has a new shape, has always suppressed, enslaved, exploited, disenfranchised, and finally, slowly but surely (or immediately) imprisoned, murdered, burned or in some other way killed the best and most noble of our white people? Who will not have noticed that right up to today, though improving over the centuries, whatever was right, natural, wholesome and best for our people was always impeded, made to appear ridiculous or condemned to stagnation and that instead of this whatever was damaging to the people, destructive, mean, insidious, gruesome—in short, evil—has had its way in an almost methodical fashion? How many have, as a result of the recognition of these facts, been devastated by grief, and lost their faith in a divine power or in justice, when they saw how—day-byday, years, decades and centuries passed by without the truly noble forces even being able to maintain themselves much less have any authority over the flood of the minions of darkness? Who wouldn’t doubt such a recognition if he 1. The Ura Linda Book is an alleged “ancient Friesian chronicle” which Prof. Herman Wirth published in 1933 to much controversy.
