In the chaos following Germany’s defeat in the First World War, strange ideas took root — myths of ancient races, cosmic energies, and secret knowledge waiting to be rediscovered. From Victorian fiction to occult salons in Munich, the word Vril began to circulate: a mysterious life force that could heal or destroy, governed by will alone.

This episode traces how a novel became a doctrine, how mysticism merged with ideology, and how the pursuit of hidden power helped shape the mindset of the Nazi elite. From Theosophy and Ariosophy to the Thule Society, the SS-Ahnenerbe, and the legend of the Black Sun, we uncover the blurred line between belief and madness — and how myth, once embraced, can be more dangerous than any weapon.
