Summary: The Secret Kings is a good translation of an odd book
Comment: The Secet Kings is a good translation of a very weird book by a very weird man.
First, any one into the occult, Nazism, history, runes, or Asatru should buy this book, for no other reason than this is the only book I know of that has Wiligut's Nazi occult writtings.
As far as German occultists go, Wiligut is only important because he was a friend of the head of the S.S.
Most German Wotanists, both racialists and non-racialists, thought of him as nuts.
There is a thin line between a nut and a prophet.
Some people say there is no line.
In fact, he was kicked out of the S.S. for being insane.
The Great Aryan Pagan Walter Darre thought Wiligut a crackpot; to understand the New Paganism, read Darre.
Guido Von List, who was Folkish, but not an Aryan racist by our standards, is far more important to Neo-Pagan thought, while Wiligut, who was more of a common nut than a true Aryan racist, is more important as a shadowy figure in Nazi history.
This is an interesting book, but it should not be taken too serious in the world of today's Euro-centric Paganism.
Darre is the best Pagan out of the National Socialist age.

Summary: Don't bother
Comment: Sure, this book shows the so-called "occult" focus behind the Nazo party, but what it doesn't do is explain that this focus has NOTHING at all to do with the ancient ways of Europe. The runes, an alphabet script employed all over Europe in pagan times were used by Wiligut and co. to link the totally Middle Eastern nonsense of Kabballa, Hermeticism, etc. with European paganism, which, in fact, had nothing in common with the Jewish Kabballa at at all.
If you're interested in authentic European paganism and its focus, read "The Well and the Tree", which is available right here at amazon.com but if you merely want information on the pathos that some within the Nazi party attempted to develop into an occult/philosophical system, then this book will do.
Its amazing that for a political party containing people who had strong negative feeling against the Jews, the occult current they chose to focus on and subvert old and authentic European pagan symbols and powers with, was Jewish! Of course, this may explain why the Rothschilds, Warburgs, Schiffs, and other Jewish banking families were never harmed by the Nazis whether they were living in German throughout the war, or whether they were in occupied France. There's more to the Nazi's, the Jews, and the second world war than meets the eye!

Summary: Hmm.. lost me about 1/2 way through...
Comment: Well, the introduction gives a decent introduction to Wiligut's basic ideas, but I would have liked more background in Wiligut's involvement with the Nazi party and Himmler. There are vauge references to Wiligut being rejected by the Ahnenrbe as "too fanciful", but more treatment would have been a real bonus. An introduction to rune-ology, and its historical placement & impact on Germanic/Nazi thought would have helped place Wiligut in a broader historical perspective.
Wiligut's writings, which make up the bulk of the book are for the die-hard fan only. You will need a serious grounding in contemporary germanic metaphysical thought to get much out of it.
Layout & printing of the book present well (and it gets an extra star for it)
