The Church of Vrilology, Vril, Hitler and the Hollow Earth

Buckle up, this is a wild one. You would be forgiven for never having heard of the Church of Vrilology, and their beliefs can be most kindly described as “fringe”.

In an unholy mishmash of alternative theories, they have concluded that a universal power source called Vril surrounds us and can be tapped into through meditation. Others have used this as a springboard for the theory that Hitler survived World War Two and is the leader of a utopian civilization in the heart of our hollow Earth. There’s a lot to unpick here.

Apparently, the story surrounding Hitler’s escape to the center of the Earth is not just a theory but a full-blown belief (as are all such theories which fall short on evidence). The connection between beliefs underlying the Church of Vrilology and associated theories about Hitler’s escape must start with an understanding of the Church itself.

So let’s unravel what exactly is going on here.
