It also figures prominently as a symbol in Nazi mysticism. The shape of the symbol as used in Neo-Nazism is based on the design of a floor mosaic at Wewelsburg castle, in the room used by the SS for occult meetings. Due to some visual similarities with the swastika the design is popular among German Neo-Nazis as a replacement for the outlawed swastika symbol.

Ocasionally, and unscientifically, black dwarfs are referred to as black suns.

Uses of the term in science-fiction and fantasy literature are influenced by a combination of the esoteric and the astronomical meaning, see Black Sun (disambiguation) for examples of the term as used in popular culture.
