Wewelsburg

From JoS Wiki

Wewelsburg is a Renaissance castle located in the village of Wewelsburg, which is a district of the town of Büren in Germany. After 1933 it was used by the SS under Heinrich Himmler and was to be expanded into a complex which would serve as the main SS cult site.

History

Predecessor buildings of the castle existed even in the 9th century, at the time it was called the Wifilisburg.


In 1934, Himmler leased the castle of Wewelsburg, in Westphalia, for one hundred years, and immediately began repair work on this relic and its transformation, including the construction of a Tower of Initiation. The entire small village was evacuated and most of its ancient houses, with Runes carved in wood, were included within the enclave. The residents were compensated and moved to Büren, even the Pastor. Thus, this Castle would come to be the Reichsführerschule der SS Auf der Wewelsburg, the "School for the preparation of SS Leaders in Wewelsburg." The Castle was declared a national monument and maintained as such. A Burgwart, an Acting Chief of the SS, would permanently live in the Castle and direct the Reichsführerschule. Even today, on the ceiling in one of the rooms, runic symbols can still be found. The Black Sun can also be found in one of the rooms.


The history of the castle itself influenced Himmler’s choice of Wewelsburg as the SS order castle. The meticulous work of Peter Levenda [ Unholy Alliance: A History of Nazi Involvement with the Occult by Peter Levenda (May 24, 2002)] in unearthing previously unpublished documents from the period allows us to consider the pagan worldview of the Ahnenerbe and the SS. The files of the Ahnenerbe contained an article by A. E. Muller originally published in a monthly journal called Lower Saxony in 1903, which describes the celebration of the summer solstice at the Exsternsteine monument near the Wewelsburg in the mid-nineteenth century.

“As Levenda notes, these motifs are common in the volkisch underpinnings of Nazism, with the serpent, thought of as an archetype of evil in Christianity, considered sacred by the Aryans.”

The SS Coven

Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler was a Satanist and had a coven of 12 SS Officers. He was the 13th member. He worked diligently along with Adolf Hitler to destroy Christianity. Christian symbols, characters [which are all Jewish], and rituals, were replaced with original Pagan [Pagan means 'Gentile'] rites. The coven itself was based in the Wewelsburg castle. Reichsführer Himmler conducted numerous black magick rituals at Wewelsburg Castle. These rituals were conducted in the utmost secrecy. They included necromancy [communication with the dead]. Wewelsburg had many powerful Satanic symbols, most of these were white-washed and removed from walls and pillars in early 1945.4 In 1945, under orders from Reichsführer Himmler, Wewelsburg was blown up to keep it from the invading armies. Some parts of the castle survived and much has been restored. True Paganism which is synonymous with Satanism is known for its emphasis on the Sun [666].

"Himmler and his inner circle of Twelve Gruppenführers would engage in mystic communication with the dead Teutons and perform other spiritual exercises. Secrecy was the key element in the SS and most especially at Wewelsburg." "Foreign Intelligence Chief Walter Schellenburg observed Himmler: 'I happened to come into the room by accident and to see these twelve SS leaders sitting in a circle, all sunk in deep and silent contemplation, was indeed a remarkable sight.'"
