The Goddess Of The Devil is a historical novel by Mart Sander about the turbulent life of one of the most obscure and yet fascinating women of the Third Reich, a strikingly beautiful medium named Maria Orsic, pictured on the cover design. The Nazi Party, which has become synonymous with all things evil, had its roots deep in occult societies. One of them – the Thule Society - was solely responsible for discovering and promoting Adolf Hitler, moulding him from a shy, disillusioned artist into a ruthless leader. The Thule Society had a subdivision for ladies - the Vril Society. This group of young women, actively practicing alternative sciences, was led by Viennese-born Maria Orsic. A remarkably beautiful woman with lush long hair (as was the trademark of the ladies of Vril), she was instrumental in instigating research into alternative science, actively pursued by the Nazis, which led to Germany’s unrivalled superiority in nuclear and space research. Was everyone closely associated with Hitler, and influencing him, automatically evil? Was the stunning medium Maria Orsic a scheming adventuress - or a sensitive woman burdened with extraordinary powers and imagination, who found herself involuntarily in the centre of the power-play of the Nazi Party, the SS, cutting edge science and international spy rings? How does it happen that talented idealists can lead a nation to insanity? These and other challenging questions are addressed in following Maria’s tumultuous career in this novel, covering a span of nearly forty of the most explosive years in world history, including two world wars culminating in the birth of a new era of superweapons and superpowers.
