Скачать или смотреть The Occult Religion Behind Modern Extremism

Over the past several years, extremist ideas have spread through online spaces influencing young men — often disguised as irony, memes, or political rebellion. What looks like anger or grievance culture is something much older and much darker.

In this episode, Will Spencer shares audio from the first two sessions of his Book Club reading "Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity" by historian Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke. Together, the group examines how Nazism functioned as a religious system, how neo-Nazi movements reorganized almost immediately after World War II, and how figures like George Lincoln Rockwell and Julius Evola fused politics with occult spirituality.

Will also reflects on his own experience encountering these ideas firsthand — and on the personal cost of watching men he once trusted drift into spiritual darkness, resentment, and isolation.

This episode explores why understanding the spiritual roots of extremism matters for Christians who want clarity, discernment, and stability in an increasingly disordered culture.

📚 ABOUT THE BOOK CLUB
The Book Club is a private reading group where we work through serious books slowly and carefully — not for hot takes, but for Christian spiritual and intellectual formation. The goal isn’t information alone, but depth, clarity, and stability in a culture designed to keep us reactive and distracted.
