Wotanism
Professor Jung describes National Socialist Germany as a Folk possessed and motivated by a psychic force, which had been dormant within them from tribal times: "...a God has taken possession of the Germans and their house is filled with a `mighty rushing wind'... Perhaps we may sum up this general phenomenon as Ergriffenheit - a state of being seized or possessed. The term postulates not only an Ergriffener (one who is seized) but also an Ergreifer (one who seizes). Wotan is an Ergreifer of men, and, unless one wishes to deify Hitler - which has indeed actually happened - he (Wotan) is really the only explanation... A mind that is childish thinks of the Gods as metaphysical entities existing in their own right, or else regards them as playful or superstitious inventions... the Gods are without doubt personifications of psychic forces..."
Professor Jung also notes that this power of Wotan was channeled to the German Folk by Adolf Hitler: "The impressive thing about the German phenomenon is that one man, who is obviously `possessed' has infected a whole nation to such an extent that everything is set in motion and has started rolling..."
Wotan is a restless wanderer who creates unrest and stirs up strife, now here, now there, and works magic... He is the God of storm and frenzy, the unleasher of passions and the lust of battle; moreover he is a superlative magician and artist in illusion who is versed in all secrets of an occult nature
