As I recall, the Black Sun has some central facets in the beliefs of the Vril Society, which was one of the predecessors to Nazi occultism and the Thule Society.
Mind that what I'm saying is something I read years back, so feel free to flame my ass off if my info is off.
As I recall, the story goes something like this:
In the beginning of the world, there were three great civilizations (it might have been 5): The Atlantians, the Lemurians, and the Aryans. IIRC, they each used different power sources. Somewhere in there, one of them harnessed Vril energy, which was based on radiation from a black sun. And then I think the Atlanteans went along and blew themselves to hell, which Atlanteans are wont to do. Then I think it went into Babel from there. After that it basically just seemed to dribble into Nazi propaganda, IIRC. Like I said, its been years since I read about it, so its very likley that I'm either completly wrong, or with big gaps in my knowledge.
The term "Black Sun" doesn't nessecarily evoke evil imagery to me. Rather, it evokes a sense of mysterious energy. An alternative energy. You could easily say that the "energies of the Black Sun" is just another funky term for mystical energies, depending on how one works their magic.
There's a certain sense of ancient science to it.
I have an image of a great machine wrought out of black iron and dead wood in an underground land inhabited by the dead. Radiation from the black sun sitting in the great holder radiates out and defines the shape of the dead, just as the light of Sol defines the shapes of the world around us. Power harnessed on different rules of physics. The light in the realm of the kingdom of shadows.
Ok, and now I don't think I'm really making a whole lot of sense. |
