The Rosy Cross of Heredom: Exploring the Secret History of the Master Mason’s Ritual

The Master Mason’s ritual, central to modern Freemasonry, might not be the original version, but rather a substitute. This idea may seem surprising at first glance, but when examined in the historical context of the early 18th century, it opens up fascinating possibilities. The events of 1717, which saw the founding of the first Grand Lodge of England, did not occur in isolation. Instead, they were part of a broader...

Unveil the Forgotten Secrets of the Holy Grail

Julius Evola’s views on the Holy Grail myth as a Hyperborean myth can be understood within the context of his broader intellectual project, which sought to recover the spiritual wisdom and cultural heritage of the ancient world.

For Evola,...

The Enduring Legend of the Holy Grail

The story of the Holy Grail is a rich and complex narrative set in the context of Arthurian tradition and the medieval world of knighthood and chivalry.

Wolfram Eschenbach’s Grail Stone

Wolfram Eschenbach’s notioned that the Grail is a stone. Even though his Parzival was one of the most popular and spiritually challenging tales of medieval Germania—as Albrecht Classen notes, “this courtly romance might be one of the most intriguing literary works of its time in terms of intellectual and spiritual epistemology” —still Wolfram’s view on the nature of the Grail as a stone is nowadays treated by critics with mystified respect and then allowed, as if inconvenient, to disappear from […]...

As in the labyrinthine journey of the Grail quest, the hero who enters into the faery fortress of Caer Sidi to gain the cauldron is indentured to continue in its service until he is released. He becomes “the Great Prisoner.” For the Celtic peoples, realms...

Clues to unlock the Otherworld mysteries of Scotland

In Celtic Scotland there exist plenty traditions of sacred locations, places and folklore about people crossing into the Otherworld, a number of which are identified with sorcha (pronounced “sahkhaa”). This is an ancient phrase that means both ‘paradise’ and ‘illuminated being.’ Once again there’s a similarity with Egypt. Because the syllable ka is their word for ‘risen soul or awareness.’ Sidh Chailleann is the core of Scottish Otherworld tradition. This...

The Holy Grail Secret finally deciphered?

The Grail secret and Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Secret of the Holy Grail. The most significant of all the Grail romances is “Parzival”. The Bavarian knight, Wolfram von Eschenbach composed this master piece between 1195 and 1216. In his version, the Grail is uniquely a stone. And referencing a stone or rock is the key to finding illuminating Biblical passages. Especially of a “rejected stone.” Von Eschenbach claims he based his version upon privileged information he received from a french scholar […]...
