This blog is going to be a rough draft for my biography of Hanns Heinz Ewers. I will be drawing from several sources including Hanns Heinz Ewers : die Geschichte seiner Entwicklung by Hans Krüger-Welf and Der Unverantwortliche: Das Leben des Hanns Heinz Ewers (German Edition) by Dr. Wilfried Kugel.
Dr. Kugel's biography in particular is considered the definitive source for information about Hanns Heinz Ewers. It was originally a doctoral thesis and is encyclopeadic in nature as well as dry as a dinosaur bone. It is brilliant work that can not be found anywhere else and any biography must make reference to it.
Having said that, my biography is about an occultist writing a biography of an occultist. I will be drawing from my own lifetime of metaphysical research and personal life experience which includes extensive knowledge of the western mystery tradition that Hanns Heinz Ewers belonged to with reference to the OTO, Rosicrucian Order,Martinism and Freemasonry.
I draw very different conclusions from the same data than what Dr. Kugel does. Certain life experiences mean different things to an initiate than to the profane. When possible I will be drawing from the writings of Hanns Heinz Ewers as well since much of his material is heavily autobiographical in nature.
