Wilhelm Wulff
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilhelm Theodor H. Wulff, born in Hamburg, is a German astrologer who was forced by the SS into working for the Ahnenerbe in order "to harness not only natural, but also supernatural forces." The Ahnenerbe project also employed spitiualists, mediums, sensitives, dowsers, students of Tattva, ballistic experts, mathematicians, and other astronomers.
He eventually became Heinrich Himmler's astrologer.
Wulff survived World War II and wrote the book Zodiac and Swastika.
Before World War I Wulff was an art student and discovered astrological literature in Italy while doing research on Leonardo DaVinci's drawings.
He worked as a sculptor and astrologist in Hamburg and through some of his clients he came to know Kersten, who was Himmler's private masseur and friend.
It was Kersten whom put Wulff in touch with high ranking SS dignitaries, such as Nebe, Schellenberg and eventually Himmler.
After Rudolf Hess's flight to Scotland and arrest (Hess was an occultist and fascinated by Astrology, as well as having many astrologer friends) the Gestapo arrested all known active astrologers as they believed his circle had influenced him and possibly conspired against him. Wulff was one of those arrested and spend four months in a concentration camp. Later he was forced to join one of the many research institutes of the army.
