Franz Bardon: The Mysterious Magician Who Said No to Hitler
Franz Bardon was a young man living in 1930s Europe who claimed abilities that might seem unusual today – reading minds, healing people, and locating lost objects through observation. While these claims might sound extraordinary, Bardon was a real person whose life story contains some genuinely intriguing elements.
“In the universe there exists neither good nor evil, because everything has been created in accordance with immutable laws.”
_Franz Bardon
The Boy Who Became a Master
Franz Bardon wasn’t born into wealth or fame. He came into the world on December 1, 1909, in a small town near Opava, in what we now call the Czech Republic. His father Viktor was a deeply religious man who spent his days in prayer and meditation. Franz was the oldest of thirteen children.
What made Franz special wasn’t immediately obvious. As a teenager, he worked as an industrial mechanic, fixing machines and getting his hands dirty like any other young man of his time. But something extraordinary was happening beneath the surface. According to his devoted secretary Otti Votavova, Franz wasn’t just growing up—he was awakening to powers that most people only dream about.
“Life is not a fairground, but a school.”

The Stage Magician with Real Magic
In the 1920s and 1930s, Franz discovered he had a gift for entertaining people. He became a stage magician, traveling throughout Germany and performing under the stage name “Frabato the Magician”. Audiences would gasp as he made objects disappear and reappear, but what they didn’t know was even more amazing.
Behind the theater curtains, Franz was developing real magical abilities. People began seeking him out not for entertainment, but for healing. He could diagnose illnesses just by looking at someone, find missing objects, and even read people’s thoughts. Word spread quickly about this remarkable young man who seemed to bridge the gap between stage magic and something far more mysterious.
“True magic therefore is the high knowledge of the more subtle powers that have not yet been acknowledged by science up to this date because the methods of scrutiny that have been applied so far do not suffice for their grasping, understanding and utilization, although the laws of magic are analogous to all official sciences of the world.”
_Franz Bardon
When Darkness Knocked
The trouble began when Nazi Germany rose to power. Hitler and his inner circle weren’t just interested in conquering countries—they wanted to harness supernatural forces for their twisted goals. According to Bardon’s own accounts, the Nazis belonged to a sinister group called the FOCG or “99 Lodge,” where members made deals with demons in exchange for wealth and power.
The price? Their souls, and sometimes their lives when yearly sacrifices were demanded.
In 1941, disaster struck. Through a student’s carelessness, the Nazis discovered Bardon’s magical activities and arrested him. What happened next sounds impossible, yet multiple sources tell the same incredible story. Hitler himself allegedly offered Bardon a high-ranking position in the Third Reich, but there was a catch—he had to use his powers to help the Nazis win the war.
Bardon refused.
“Always fall asleep with peaceful and harmonious thoughts or with thoughts of success, health and inner peacefulness.”

Torture and Tepaphones
The consequences were brutal. For three and a half years, Bardon endured unimaginable torture in Nazi concentration camps. They performed operations without anesthesia and chained heavy iron balls to his ankles. But the strangest attack came from the black magic lodge itself.
According to his autobiographical novel “Frabato the Magician,” the evil magicians used a mysterious device called a “tepaphone” to send deadly energy rays across great distances. Bardon’s defense? He simply soaked his feet in cold water, changing it frequently as it boiled from the magical assault.
In 1945, just as Bardon faced execution, Allied bombs destroyed his prison. Russian fellow prisoners helped him escape through the rubble, and he remained hidden until the war ended. Some say he later used his abilities to discover that Hitler had survived and fled into hiding, magically altering his appearance to avoid recognition.
“According to the universal laws, the magician will form his own point of view about the universe which henceforth will be his true religion.”
_Franz Bardon
The Books That Changed Magic Forever
After surviving the war, Franz returned home with a mission. He believed that spiritual knowledge shouldn’t be kept secret anymore—too many people were suffering because they didn’t know how to grow spiritually. So he began writing books that would teach anyone, anywhere, how to develop their inner abilities.
His most famous work, “Initiation Into Hermetics,” published in 1956, became like a magic school textbook. But unlike other magic books filled with complicated ceremonies and expensive tools, Franz’s approach was refreshingly simple. He taught that the most important magic happens inside you—in your mind, your heart, and your spirit.
Franz wrote two more books to complete his trilogy: “The Practice of Magical Evocation” and “The Key to the True Kabbalah”. Together, these books created a complete system for anyone who wanted to learn about spiritual development and magical practices.
“The entire universe can be compared to a clockwork with wheels that engage with each other and which are interdependent with each other.”
_Franz Bardon
A Different Kind of Magic School
What made Franz’s teaching special was how practical it was. Instead of requiring students to buy expensive wands, robes, and crystals, he focused on developing what he called the three most important magical tools: your will, your imagination, and your ability to concentrate.
His system worked like a fitness program for your spirit. Students would start with simple exercises—learning to control their breathing, focusing their thoughts, and understanding their emotions. Each step built on the last one, gradually developing stronger mental and spiritual “muscles.”
Franz believed that true magic wasn’t about controlling others or getting rich quick. Instead, he taught that the greatest magic was becoming the best version of yourself. This approach attracted students from around the world who were looking for genuine spiritual growth rather than flashy tricks.
“We were born in charge of our own being, our own personality. Other people’s personalities are beyond our control.”

The Mystery of Many Lives
One of the most intriguing claims about Franz Bardon comes from his secretary and devoted student, Otti Votavova. She wrote that Franz wasn’t just an ordinary person—he was the reincarnation of some of history’s greatest spiritual teachers. According to her, Franz had previously lived as Hermes Trismegistus (the legendary founder of magical wisdom), Lao Tzu (the Chinese philosopher), and even the mysterious Count Saint Germain.
Whether or not you believe in reincarnation, this claim highlights how extraordinary Franz’s knowledge seemed to his students. His books contained wisdom that seemed to come from someone who had spent lifetimes studying the deepest mysteries of existence.
“Do not cast your pearls before swine.”

A Life Cut Short
Tragically, Franz Bardon’s story ended too soon. In 1958, the communist Czech government arrested him for publishing books about magic and spirituality. While in police custody, Franz became ill with pancreatitis and died on July 10, 1958, at just 48 years old.
Even in death, Franz remained true to his principles. Despite facing persecution from both Nazi and communist regimes, he never stopped teaching or sharing his knowledge with those who genuinely sought spiritual growth.
Today, more than 60 years after his death, Franz Bardon’s influence continues to grow. His books have been translated into dozens of languages, and students around the world still follow his step-by-step system for spiritual development. Modern practitioners praise his work for being practical, ethical, and surprisingly effective.
What makes Franz Bardon’s story so compelling isn’t just the magical abilities he claimed to possess—it’s the character he showed when tested. In a world full of people who would do anything for power, Franz chose to suffer rather than compromise his values. That kind of integrity might be the most magical thing of all.
“Patience, perseverance and tenacity are fundamental conditions of the development.”
