Oops! I meant religion of course. It was in some book my dad had called Spear of Destiny or something. Do Pagans still visit that castle he built for his religion.

Himmler also underwent religious turmoil during his studies at Munich Technische Hochschule. In his diaries he claimed to be a devout Catholic, and wrote that he would never turn away from the church. However, he was a member of a fraternity which he felt to be at odds with the tenets of the church: biographers have defined Himmler's theology as Ariosophy, his own religious dogma of racial superiority of the Aryan race and Germanic Meso-Paganism, partly from his interests in folklore and mythology of the ancient Teutonic tribes of Northern Europe. Himmler turned into a disbeliever in Christian doctrine and was also very critical of sermons given by priests, but felt that the teachings of the church were of the utmost importance to Aryans, as he thought that a "supreme deity" had chosen the German people to rule the world.

Although I can't give you a specific answer, I can say it can be very difficult to categorize someone within Paganism, which is just an umbrella term for hundreds of faiths, both old and new.
Just like the Christians and their denominations, we Pagans fight a lot about what defines a neo-Pagan/Wiccan/Witch/Druid/Reconstructionist/Discordian etc. etc.

He was born into a christian family. He was raised a christian. In his diaries he always claimed to be a christian and said he would never turn away from the church. Christian writers who are embarrassed by this have claimed in recent years that he was some sort of Wiccan or Pagan. He certainly didn't think he was.

Actually, the Nazi's DID try to resurrect Germanic Paganism while they were in power. It's really rather fascinating, if you can stomach it.

Most of the Nazis were Catholic with some occult beliefs thrown in. I am pretty sure that is true for him.

He was raised a Roman Catholic, I am not aware that he converted at any time.
