I've never read Lords of Chaos...maybe one day. Black metal just never interested me though, even the lurid stories about murder and church burnings... it just all seems so empty and nihilistic to me. I have read SIEGE by James Mason, a book that was published and edited by Moynihan back in 1992. Mason is a Neo-Nazi revolutionary who admires Charles Manson. SIEGE is a compilation of his writings. The book has become a "must read" for students of political extremism. In recent years, Moynihan seems to have distanced himself from the overt political stuff though, going so far as to call the far right "a bunch of isolated losers". Hmm. He also wrote about supposed (never really been proven, and the outlawing of the OTO and others made it unlikely)Nazi links to occultism in a book with long term writer on runes Stephen Flowers. Haven't read it but no doubt sensationalist. Nazi philosophy was far more "folkish" than occult in origin. Folks like Heinrich Himmler, Nazi agricultural minister Walther Darre and Nazi philosopher Alfred Rosenberg made it blatantly obvious that they preferred paganism over Christianity. Rosenberg advocated for a "religion of the blood" and eventually wanted the swastika to replace the Christian cross on German churches. Darre wanted German peasants fornicating in the fields to ensure good crop seasons. There are quotes by Hitler that also confirm a belief in magic and the occult. An excellent book on this subject is Dusty Sklar's The Nazis and The Occult and the slightly more sensationalistic work, Unholy Alliance: A History of Nazi Involvement with the Occult by Peter Levenda. I haven't read anything by Moynihan or Stephen Flowers on this subject but Moynihan's interest in this stuff isn't surprising given his fondness for Julius Evola.

Can't say I've ever read any, convincingly sourced, Hitler quotes showing any support or firm belief in "occult" beliefs. His strict clampdown and destruction of all such based secret societies along with Masonic institutions showed zero sympathy for such beliefs. Hitler allegedly had a copy of Crowley's Liber AL (book of the law) and on reading it banned it and the organisation in Germany. Karl Germer who ran the German OTO was even sent to a concentration camp. The "grail castle" idea and the "black sun" design at Wewelsburg seems to be a hub that a lot of these books hang upon and apart from a typically German "volk" ideal, I have never seen much to link to anything further than basic pagan stuff.

No. It was Stanley Kubrick who returned from the dead.
