Occult Causes of the Present War

Occult Causes of the Present War is a book written by Lewis Spence, first published in 1940. The book explores the idea that there were hidden, esoteric factors that contributed to the outbreak of World War II. Spence, a Scottish writer and researcher of the occult, delves into various mystical and spiritual traditions, including astrology, numerology, and the prophecies of Nostradamus, to uncover the deeper causes of the conflict. He argues that the war was not simply a political or economic struggle, but rather a manifestation of cosmic forces and spiritual energies that had been building up for centuries. Spence's book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between history, politics, and the occult, and provides a unique perspective on one of the most significant events of the 20th century.In this work the author reveals the nature and existence of the hidden powers at work behind the Nazi organization, which he believes, is but the outward though appropriate, manifestation of satanist and diabolic agencies which employ it for their own malignant purposes.
