The SkinWalker Files

I wasn't expecting much from this book by Joseph P. Farrell, since over the years I've read many accounts of the Nazi secret weapons programs. Nearly all use one of two approaches: either the authors paint a picture of a crackpot dictator willing to invest in any screwball scientific concept presented; or the talk goes to the same murky morass of piecework information and rumor that always has been the only evidence that Nazi Germany actually produced anything unusual, like flying saucers or ET contact. That last subject may be fascinating, but unless you've had some firsthand encounters with unusual things there's no reason to suspect it's credible.

In reviewing the book Reich Of The Black Sun: Nazi Secret Weapons & The Cold War Allied Legend I did expect more of the same, but Farrell begins by explaining that his work uses files released after the reunification of Germany. That's material no one had before, and what's new in that pile of old files really is surprising. If you don't believe that public histories are intentionally distorted by governments, you probably won't believe much of what Farrell says. He does back it up with copies of communiques from Japanese diplomats, Nuremberg trial testimony, and reports gleaned from interrogations of Nazi officers after the war's end, kept secret until the end of the Cold War.

Only a fragment of The Golden Book of Wisdom survives, but the fundamentals of Bardon's system are still available.

If you don't know the story of Franz Bardon, that's ok, because you probably won't believe it anyway. Born in Czechoslavakia before WWII, Bardon became a famous stage magician somewhat in the same tradition as Harry Houdini, yet different. Bardon's interests and skills turned towards psychic and yogic phenomena rather than pure stage magic.

That brought him to the attention of the Nazi Party when Germany became the Third Reich, and specifically to the attention of the Order of the Black Sun, which we now remember as the S.S. (Schwartz Sonne). That particular group followed up the occult interests of the Fuhrer, and since Bardon refused to cooperate and would not reveal his personal methods and knowledge, Bardon wound up in a concentration camp.

After his release and the war's end, Bardon was convinced that Hitler had survived and spent much time fruitlessly searching for him. Aside from that project, Bardon spent much of his time writing books about the very things he refused to teach the Nazi's, using the cards of the Tarot Deck as a framework for his discussion of ancient mysticism, yoga and Egyptian magical systems. His last book was never finished, since he was arrested before he could complete it and the tapes upon which his manuscript was recorded were destroyed.

Now on Scribd you'll have a chance to read the part of Bardon's last and potentially most important work that does survive, and wonder why it was banned and what else Bardon might have said. If you really do want those answers there's a way to find out, but it will be the work of a lifetime.

I came across Bardon's books while looking for some structure to explain and develop what I experienced after my vision quest in 1991, through a chain of very unusual circumstances and encounters with strange people involved with intelligence work and bizarre time machine projects. Though Bardon's books aren't the only system I've studied they do teach many of the same basic methods and I go back to them frequently to remind myself of the simple techniques which work well. If you're looking for the real thing you should not just read Initiation into Hermetics; you should do it.

If you know the Wilhelm Reich story you may have wanted to actually the read the books he wrote, which were collected and burned by the U.S. government along with plans for the machines he built. Though his books, which included The Mass Psychology of Fascism, did not disappear, they aren't common in bookstores and libraries and digitized versions are difficult to track down. Since the material is still under copyright in the U.S., downloads are illegal.

However, you may share this book at Scribd. Several members have uploaded copies to loan digitally to their friends and you may read them at the Scribd site. Others have uploaded other books outlining mystical practices of dubious quality which they themselves teach, and have given those books this title in order to acquire readership. The link I'm giving here is to the book actually written by Wilhelm Reich.

Nearly all Reich's books are now available on Amazon.

Andy Cowan let me know about his blog and website dealing with important things like how to stay warm -- from the point of view of a Scotsman living in Japan. Since my only winter warmth for about fifteen years was a space heater in a travel trailer I am able to appreciate this fully.
