Occult networks in interwar Europe

The book centers on Gaston de Mengel and his 1937 arrival in Berlin to brief Heinrich Himmler about the Green Dragon, a secret society. From that episode, it traces connections among the Parisian occult scene, intelligence operators, esoteric groups, Masonic lodges, and Maria de Naglowska’s Luciferian salons. The supplied description frames de Mengel’s account as a set of claims to be traced, placing the book at the intersection of occult history and the political intrigues of the interwar period. Its subject is a web of people and organizations, with the journey eastward signaled in the title.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in European occultism and esoteric movements.
  • Readers exploring the overlap between interwar political history and secret societies.
  • Readers interested in Gaston de Mengel and the Green Dragon.
