The Thule Society, the Nazis and the World Grid
In this article, I will make use to a large extent of Joseph Farrell’s research and theories as expounded in his book The Grid of the Gods, which was published in 2011. I must preface this exposition though by saying that the World Grid, or the ‘Grid of the Gods’, as Farrell refers to it, is not exactly the electromagnetic grid that shrouds the Earth that the C’s told Laura and Ark about but rather a more complex concept incorporating: (1) the longitudinal and latitudinal positions of ancient sites based on a north-south meridian running through the apex of the Great Pyramid at Giza; (2) a “grid” encoding the numbers of “sacred geometry” as found at most of the structures built on these ancient sites; and (3) a “grid” that is an astronomical-astrological “celestial grid” encoding the physics of the very large (stars, planets etc.) but at the same time encoding (at some of these megalithic sites) the actual coefficients of the constants of quantum mechanics representing the physics of the very small – thus reflecting the Hermetic maxim of “as above, so below”.
What Farrell is referring to here may be borne out to some extent by what the C’s said about the builders of Stonehenge, one of the ancient megalithic sites he is referring to:
Q: Who was worshipped by the people who built Stonehenge?
A: Complicated.
Q: Give me some key words to work it out.
A: Spirits, stars, energy.
The reference to stars would certainly fit with the physics of the very large and energy would fit with the physics of the very small, with the reference to spirits bringing in to play the missing factor of pure consciousness.
Geopolitical Geomancy
Farrell devotes a whole chapter to what he calls ‘geopolitical geomancy’, which commences with an outline of the occult/scientific schemes of Heinrich Himmler:
“Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler may justifiably be said to be the most powerful man ever to have attempted the resurrection of “Atlantis” and to have attempted to understand and activate the world grid system that was its legacy. This he did by establishing officially, on July 1, 1935, a department called the Ahnenerbedienst, the so-called “Ancestral Research Bureau” to research ancient texts and sites and to establish their supposed Aryan patrimony. By 1940, it had been wholly absorbed by Himmler’s other notorious creation, the SS.”
However, Farrell points out that the Ahnenerbe Forschungs und Lehrgemeinschaft or “Ancestral Heritage Research and Teaching Society” was but the tip of a very large iceberg of all manner of projects involving occult methods and practices within the Third Reich. This included using dowsers, astrologers, pendulum geomancers and a host of occult and magical techniques. Farrell quotes Wilhelm Ruff, who was involved with these projects:
“All intellectual, natural, and supernatural sources of power – from modern technology to medieval black magic, and from the teachings of Pythagoras to the Faustian pentagram incantation – were to exploited in the interests of final victory.”
For Farrell, the Nazi regime was in other words attempting literally to resurrect the ancient magic, the lost science of the gods, in some cases quite literally by invoking them.
To give you an idea of just how widespread Nazi occultic and esoteric research activities were within the
Ahnenerbedienst in connection with discovering potential military applications of such knowledge, Farrell tells us that there were:
“over 50 separate sections devoted to a wide range of science and pseudoscientific research … There was a Celtic studies group within the Ahnenerbe; a group to study the Teutonic cult centre at Extersteine (near Weewelsberg), which was believed to be the site of the famous World Tree, Ydragsil or Yggdrasil; a group devoted to Icelandic research (as the Eddas were sacred to the Teuton myth …); a group that was formed around Ernst Schaffer and his Tibet expeditions; a runic studies group; a “World Ice Theory” division; an archaeological research group that scoured the earth for evidence of Aryan presence in lands as remote from Germany as the Far East and South America.”
One has to wonder here what the Nazis would have made of the Cassiopeian communications if they had occurred in the 1930’s and 1940’s. However, Farrell’s focus here was on that part of SS research which sought to understand the “World Grid” and, if possible, to tap into whatever sources of power it represented, from geomancy to torsion.
Farrell offers as evidence that the Nazis were well aware of the Grid since Hitler’s East Prussia headquarters, the
Wolfsshanze at Rastenburg, was strangely built in swampy woodlands among the Masurian Lakes of East Prussia. Why? The answer was that the HQ lay astride a ley line, as did Himmler’s headquarters twelve miles away at Hochwald. As Nigel Pennick in his book
Hitler’s Secret Sciences noted, the occult function of both headquarters was obvious. Placing them in significant positions according to sacred geometry enabled their rulers to transmit psychic power over the areas covered by the geomantic grid. Of these two lines, one ran almost due east-west, whilst the other, which linked the two HQ sites, ran towards the north-east in the direction of Moscow.
As an aside, Hitler and Himmler were not the only warlords of the Second World War to resort to psychic powers to assist their war efforts for it is known that
Sir Winston Churchill used the services of occult practitioners (the ‘Great Beast’ himself,
Aleister Crowley, certainly offered his services to the war effort and, as we know from an earlier post, he was prepared to assist MI6 in luring to Rudolf Hess to Britain) and was himself an initiated Druid and a Freemason. Moreover, it is known that US President
Franklin D Roosevelt used the services of an astrologer – see
Did Franklin Roosevelt consult with astrologers? - Quora. And lest we think this is just a fad of the past, let us not forget that Ukrainian witches purportedly used their alleged powers to assist the Ukrainian war effort against the Russians, as discussed with the C’s in one of last year’s sessions. Given that elements of the Ukrainian military are neo-Nazis, this may come as no surprise.
Farrell then asks the question whether the Nazis may have found (or at least thought they had found) the means to “activate” or even tap into the physics of the energies of the global grid. To answer this question, Farrell gave a brief history of official and unofficial German state interest in the occult in general and the geomantic systems in particular.
His starting point was the era of the Holy Roman Empire, when the secret imperial star chamber, the Heilege Vehm or “Holy Vehm’s” initiates and executioners would often meet secretly at night at various geomantic sites. By the time of Frederick the Great’s Prussia, this esoteric interest had become fully fledged. Frederick founded the Afrikanischen Buahrren, or order of the Architects of Africa, locating its centre at his Constantinople Lodge in Berlin. There “its initiates studied hieroglyphics, the sciences, history and antiquities and the Manichean Mysteries. Farrell then points out that this fascination with ancient mysteries, esotericism and knowledge was accompanied by an interesting claim, for Frederick’s Prussian Grand (Masonic) Lodge also asserted its continuity from another ancient society, the ‘World Wise Men’:
“This ‘White Lodge’ is the same group of hidden masters described by Madame Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society and the German Thule Society from which many leading Nazis came. The Prussian Freemasons claimed that these World Wise Men were none other than the Carpocratians*, a group of Christ’s disciples to who he communicated a secret science, transmitted afterwards to the Templars and thence via Scotland to the Swedish Rite Freemasons … They were also traditionally endowed with the mastery of a mysterious power drawn from the Earth – Vril.”
*I know nothing about the Carpocrations who may, therefore, be merely a cover for Gnostic groups like the Essenes (Christ’s contemporaries) who most likely already possessed knowledge of such a secret science via pharaonic Egypt and the Jewish Cabala, which was passed on to later secret societies like the Assassins, who in turn transmitted it to the Knights Templar (see my earlier posts). Alternatively, they could, of course, have been surface agents of the Nation of the Third Eye.
Farrell notes that the idea of continuity with an ancient elite was very much part of the Masonic tradition, particularly in Prussia. [MJF: One could also add the Rosicrucian tradition here too, as the Rosicrucians even admitted as much in their Manifestos, particularly the ‘Fama’.] Farrell adds that the peculiar connection with the Earth Grid, however, is manifest in the fact that this hidden elite had mastery of the Vril energy drawn from the Earth.
Before proceeding, let us take stock of what has just been said. The ‘White Lodge’ Helena Blavatsky spoke of were the 'Masters of Ancient Wisdom', who were referred to in Theosophy as the Mahatmas or Masters. Rudolf Steiner called the Great White Lodge or the White Lodge the 'Masters of Wisdom and Harmony of Feelings'. However, could these hidden masters have been members of the ‘Great White Brotherhood’ the C‘s spoke of here:
Session 31May 1995:
Q
: (L) I have read a number of things recently purportedly channelled by the "Great White Brotherhood." I would like to know if there is such a thing?
A: No.
Q: (L) There is no "Great White Brotherhood?" (SV) How come Edgar Cayce talked about it?
A: Not as such.
Q: (L) What is it that they have been calling the "Great White Brotherhood?"
A: ?
Q: (L) What is the Great White Brotherhood that Cayce was referring to?
A: Various STO.
Q: (L) Do they identify themselves as the Great White Brotherhood?
A: Sometimes.
Q: (L) If they are not the "Great White Brotherhood," what are they?
A: Fourth density STO.
Q: (L) What is their purpose or work?
A: Complex, suggest you wait and see.
Q: (L) Are we going to be contacted by the Great White Brotherhood?
A: Maybe.
The C’s make it clear in the above that the ‘Great White Brotherhood’ Cayce was referring to was, in reality, various 4th density STO forces. However, Farrell sagely notes that these hidden masters the Thule Society (like so many other fraternities that claimed such continuity with an ancient elite) identified with the “White Lodge” or “White Brotherhood” could just have easily been what esoteric tradition asserts is a Black Lodge or “Brotherhood” of the elite and that they might therefore have been in continuity with something whose agendas and moral compass were quite different than what was assumed of the “White” lodges from which they claimed descent.
Farrell’s point may therefore have profound implications for the Rosicrucians, who claim such descent, particularly as I suspect the Thule Society was really a Rosicrucian offshoot (more on that later). Could the Great White Brotherhood have been instead the 4th density STS Antareans and/or the subterranean civilisation calling itself the Nation of the Third Eye?
We know from the transcripts that the Antareans had been in contact with the Nazis via the Thule Society:
Session 31 August 1996:
A: Last episode of mass migration, mostly Deutschlanders.
Q: (T) Underground. We're talking underground, as in under the surface of the earth. Is this what we're talking about?
A: Antarctica. Under there.
Q: (T) Under Antarctica, under... Oh, in one of the big... OOOhhh!
A: Entry port.
Q: (T) They went underground in Antarctica, they built a large underground base there, this is where the Germans, as in the Nazi Germans, claimed as Vineland, I think it is, where the older maps that show Antarctica, where the Germans, claimed as Vineland, I think it is, where the older maps that show Antarctica, where the German territory was claimed, it's in that section that's south of...
A: Yes, but they entered through their constructed base, as instructed, then were assimilated.
Q: (L) They were assimilated into the population already existent? Underground cities, underground bases?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) So, they didn't build them, they entered into them as instructed, and were assimilated into the population?
A: They did build a base.
Q: (T) Well, they'd have to keep expanding! Now, you said instructed... (L) Instructed by whom? (T) They were instructed to go there?
A: Those identifying themselves as "Antareans."
Q: (L) And who are the Antareans?
A: STS Humanoid Orion linkage.
Q: (L) What is an STS Orion Linkage? (T) That's the... (L) We have a new concept here. (T) They would be... the... the...the... (V) Mutant Race! (T) Yes! Those that were part of the creation...
A: No.
Q: (L) What is an STS Humanoid Orion linkage?
[Part of tape seems to be missing here, questions in [brackets] are reconstruction]
A: An STS race from Orion that is humanoid.
Q: [something about who or how they got hooked up with the Nazis. Probably a question related to the group that "handled" Hitler.]
A: The Thule Society originated contact.
Q: [something about them "waiting to take over the world"]
A: Waiting?
Q: [Terry's question about what Admiral Byrd may have seen over the pole.]
A: Yes, but he was led to believe he was chasing what amounted to merely an encampment of detached Nazis.
Q: [So Byrd must have SEEN something and was then led off the track...]
A: Yes.
Q: (L) What do these guys plan on doing?
A: This is where "The Master Race" is being developed.
Q: (L) And what is the timeframe they have planned for this activity?
A: Never mind.
The C’s followed up what they had said here about the Anaterans in the following
Session dated 5 October 1996:
A: Now, some history... as you know, the CIA and NSA and other agencies are the children of Nazi Gestapo... the SS, which was experiment influenced by Antareans who were practicing for the eventual reintroduction of the Nephalim on to 3rd and or 4th density earth. And the contact with the “Antareans” was initiated by the Thule Society, which groomed its dupe subject, Adolph Hitler to be the all-time mind programmed figurehead. Now, in modern times, you have seen, but so far, on a lesser scale: Oswald, Ruby, Demorenschildt, Sirhan Sirhan, James Earl Ray, Arthur Bremer, Farakahan, Menendez, Bundy, Ramirez, Dahmer, etc...
And finally in the
Session dated 12 October 1996:
Q: (L) Okay, change of subject: On a couple of occasions, you mentioned a group called the Antareans. Who were these people or aliens?
A: Antareans were the name given by 4th density groups in contact with the Thule Society on third density Earth, before and during World War One.
[MJF: This answer raises as an important dating issue since most commentators and historians hold that the Thule Society was founded in Munich in late 1918, shortly after World War I. This suggests that the society had existed in embryonic form even earlier than this. However, it is important to note here that Author Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke contends that Hans Frank and Rudolf Hess had been Thule members.]
Q: What are they called now?
A: There is no one currently labelling themselves as "Antareans," in contact with anyone now.
Q: So, they are no longer here?
A: No, not this particular group. [MJF: Perhaps they shut up shop and left after the Nazis were defeated?]
These extracts would therefore tend to bear out what Farrell suspected may have been true of these so-called hidden masters – that they represented dark forces. Given what the C’s then said about the CIA and NSA being the children of the Nazi Gestapo and the SS, which themselves were an experiment influenced by the Antareans, the implications for a continuing, on-going Nazi programme are quite chilling. Indeed, are we seeing their plans work out and come to gestation in our own time? The fact that the C’s answered “Waiting?”, with a question mark after the word, to Laura’s question about them "
waiting to take over the world", would seem to suggest that their plans have largely come to fruition.
It is not as if Farrell is not alive himself to these implications, for he has written extensively on continuing Nazi involvement in high finance, the reverse takeover of the CIA by General
Rienhard Ghelen’s
* spy organisation and of the Nazi infiltration of America’s high technology sectors such as aviation and rocketry, particularly at the US space agency NASA (N.B.
Wernher von Braun, who masterminded the NASA Apollo space programme, was a Major (
Sturmbannführer) in the SS).
*Reinhard Gehlen (3 April 1902 – 8 June 1979) was a German Lieutenant General and intelligence officer. He was chief of the Wehrmacht’s Foreign Armies East military intelligence service on the eastern front and a leading member of the anti-Nazi, 20th July Hitler assassination plot during World War II. During the early Cold War, Gehlen sided with the Western Allies as the spymaster of the CIA-funded anti-Soviet Gehlen Organisation (1946–56) and the founding president of the Federal Intelligence Service (
Bundesnachrichtendienst, BND) of West Germany (1956–68).
In late 1945, following the 7th May surrender of Germany and the start of the Cold War, the U.S. military (G-2 Intelligence) recruited him to establish the
Gehlen Organisation, an espionage network focusing on the Soviet Union.
The organisation would employ former military officers of the Wehrmacht as well as
former intelligence officers of the Schutzstaffel (SS) and the Sicherheitsdienst (SD). As head of the
Gehlen Organisation, he sought cooperation with the CIA, formed in 1947, resulting in the Gehlen Organisation ultimately becoming
closely affiliated with the CIA.
See:
Reinhard Gehlen - Wikipedia
It would also seem the Antareans had prior history when it came to creating a master race to subjugate humanity on their behalf, judging from what may here have been an unusual slip by the C’s:
Q: Who built the city of Baalbek?
A: Antereans and early Sumerians. We meant Atlanteans. {Who are the Antereans?}
Q: What is the reason for the enormous proportions of this building?
A: Giants.
Q: Who were the giants?
A: Genetic effort to recreate Nephalim.
Q: Did the Atlanteans and Sumerians succeed in recreating the Nephilim?
A: No.
We should keep in mind here that the Sumerian gods were the Annunaki who were led by the likes of Prince Marduk (who may have been the Sumerian equivalent of the Egyptian god Ra). I hope to have more to say about this in an upcoming post on the true meaning of the 33rd degree, which will involve taking a closer look at NASA and it Nazi and Masonic links. Spoiler alert but the figure called Marduk (who may have been a front or figurehead for Orion aliens like Yahweh) would seem to have been responsible for instituting the Brotherhood of the Serpent, perhaps the original secret society (post the Deluge) that has spawned all the others including the Illuminati and perhaps Prussian Freemasonry’s antecedent secret society, which they called the ‘World Wise Men’.
I appreciate that many readers of this thread are resident in numerous countries, some of which are non-English speaking nations. However, I would appreciate any information you may have concerning the Thule Society and its activities, which may currently be unavailable in the English-speaking world. For example, it was not until Polish journalist and author Igor Witkowski wrote about ‘Die Glocke’ (the “Bell”) in Prawda o Wunderwaffe in 2000 that this important matter came to US and Western European attention after it was picked-up and popularised by British military journalist and author Nick Cook, who associated it with Nazi occultism, antigravity, and free energy suppression research. Incidentally, Joseph Farrell has written extensively on the Nazi Bell as well.
Vril Energy
However, I would like to come back to what Farrell had said about the peculiar connection with the Earth Grid, which was made manifest in the fact that this hidden elite had mastery of the Vril energy drawn from the Earth. Farrell doesn’t say whether Frederick the Great and his fellow Prussian Freemasons had knowledge of this Vril energy, so we must assume it was the German Thule Society that had first taken an interest in it. Moreover, Farrell does not mention that this ‘Vril’ energy was first named as such by the English novelist, statesman and Rosicrucian
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, who wrote about it in his novel,
Vril – the Power of the Coming Race. We have, of course looked at his novel before. For more on this book see my earlier post at
Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers | Page 2 | Cassiopaea Forum
And let us also recall that it was another Rosicrucian writer, the Frenchman
Jules Verne, who had first popularised the idea of an inner Earth civilisation in his novel
Journey to the Centre of the Earth. The fact that both these men were Rosicrucians and wrote about the inner earth is unlikely to have been a coincidence. In the way that Nicolas Poussin was passing on esoteric information via his artwork, were Bulwer-Lytton and Verne doing the same by way of their novels? Let us also recall that Bulwer-Lytton was reputedly a member of the secret Rosicrucian group called the
Orphic Circle, who drew their name from the Greek ‘Orphic Cult’ mysteries named after the renowned Thracian bard, legendary musician and prophet who, according to legend, travelled with Jason and his Argonauts in search of the Golden Fleece (the Grail?) and even descended into Hades’ underworld to recover his lost wife Eurydice. One wonders whether the C’s were hinting at Rosicrucian groups like the Orphic Circle (of whom Bulwer-Lytton was a member) in the following extract from the transcripts:
Q: Yes, we are bit by bit collecting things...
A: Well? And crop circles? Amazing connections... And what of "The Rosy Cross?"
Stonehenge, an ancient Megalithic stone circle is, of course, located in England where the Victorian, Orphic Circle was also based. The monument is usually connected with the Celts and the Druids who were, amongst other things, bards like Orpheus. The Thrace the Greek poets were referring to in Orpheus’ era was the Thrace of today located in Greece but, according to Iman Wilkens, the original Thrace was located in Brittany in north-western France, which was a renowned stronghold of the Druids. This would suggest that if someone like Orpheus ever existed, he would most likely have been a Breton Druid.
Many crop circles have materialised near to Stonehenge in the English county of Wiltshire. Quoting one source:
“Crop circles in Wiltshire often occur around the heart of the county in and around Stonehenge and Avebury, usually first appearing in April and continuing into the summer month - dozens of geometric symbols, mandalas and beautiful patterns appear in the farmers growing crop fields each and every year.”
Perhaps the most famous was the Julia Set crop circle, which appeared literally across the road from Stonehenge in 1996:
However, there have been others and a very interesting circle appeared as recently as 8 July 2016, in almost the same spot:
You will note that it depicts a regular septagram or heptagram bisecting a crescent within a serrated double outer circle. This symbol (a heptagram) has had many meanings for different cultures and religion over the years. Given the geometry we have been looking at in recent posts, does anyone have a theory on this complex design? Seven is, of course, a prime number.
See:
Crop Circle at Stonehenge, Nr Amesbury, Wiltshire. Reported 8th July 2016 (cropcircleconnector.com)
See also this interesting article, which links Stonehenge to a crop circle and to the ancient ‘squatting man’ symbol seen all over the planet, which represents plasma discharges, which we discussed on this thread last year.
The Mystery of Stonehenge, Ancient Petroglyphs and Crop Circles | Ancient Origins (ancient-origins.net)
Quoting from the article:
“The Squatting Man was a column of plasma with several stacked toruses, which would have rotated, wavered and warped upwards and down as its charge disseminated. As a mega multi ampere event, it would have been terrifying, magnificent, deadly and beautiful since it exuded gamma radiation. Until Peratt’s discovery, the Squatting Man image has been described as a fertility or hunting symbol, but the truth is far more compelling.
Even more remarkable was the discovery that plasmas create symmetries. Some plasma columns in cross section have 56/28-fold symmetries. Trained on a metal plate in the lab a familiar imprint formed; the exact same symmetry seen in stone megaliths, the most renowned of course being Stonehenge. The 56 Aubrey Holes or chalk pits of Stonehenge mark the imprint of a specific plasma column, a cosmic chord of energy or “fohat” as described by ancient Tibetans, meaning the vital cosmic force.”
Perhaps we could be seeing the phenomenon again for real very soon?
Could there be a connection though between the Druids and the modern-day Rosicrucians, given that the C’s had deliberately linked Stonehenge’s power (free energy), crop circles and the Roscicrucians in the extract quoted above. The answer may be hinted at in what the C’s said here:
Q: Well, I came to the conclusion that the Rosicrucians are just the new incarnation of the Druids. I mean, the Druids disappeared and the Rosicrucians appeared not too long afterward.
A: Partially.
Note that the C’s don’t dismiss the connection but confirm that it is only true in part. This ambivalent answer may have been due to what the C’s said about the ultimate origins of the Rosicrucians, as revealed here:
Session 7 July 1995:
Q: (L) Who were the Elohim of the Bible?
A: Transdefinitive. And variable entities. [...] First manifestation was human, then non-human. [...]
Q: (L) Well, what brought about their transformation from human to non-human?
A: Pact or covenant.
Q: (L) They made a pact or covenant with each other?
A: No, with 4th density STS.
Q: (L) Well, that is not good! Are you saying that the Elohim are STS? Who were these STS beings they made a pact with?
A
: Rosteem, now manifests as Rosicrucians.
Q: (L) What is their purpose?
A: As yet unrevealable to you.
And we know the Rosteem are connected to Giza (or Rostau) and therefore to the Great Pyramid. Was it the Rosteem who built it?
However, coming back to this reference to circles and the Thule Society, could the C’s have been referring to the Thule Society as possibly an offshoot of the Rosicrucians in the following extract from the transcripts:
Session 20 May 1995:
Q: (T) Is there some kind of underground base in Antarctica?
A: Yes. Eight.
Q: (T) Are they related to the tunnels in time?
A: Vague.
Q: (T) Were any of those bases underground in Antarctica built by the Germans during World War II?
A: Sect. [
MJF: Was the Thule Society part of the Illuminati or perhaps the Roscirucians?]
Q: (T) Nazis?
A: Remember, all is structured in cycles and circles.
Q: (L) In other words, these tunnels were built by and belong to the Consortium, is that correct?
A: Circles within circles.
Q: (L) Masons?
A: One example of concept.
This extract should also be linked with another extract from the transcripts that tends to support the argument that the C’s were not just referring to crop circles when they spoke of Laura ‘dancing around in circles’ but to other circles such as those created by secret societies (who are skilled at deflecting people away from the truth, as is the case at Rennes-le-Chateau):
Q: In response to your remark from last week, 'ever feel that you are dancing around in circles?' Mike wanted to know if this was a reference to crop circles?
A: No, not directly!
We should note that the 20th May 1995 session predates the later 1996 sessions where the C’s discussed the connection between the Thule Society and the Antareans (see above). You will also note that the C’s used the word “Sect” here, which they also used in connection with the group who were responsible for burying the TDARM on Oak Island (MJF: I will have more to say on this group in an upcoming post). The term “sect” derives from the Latin word “secta”, which may derive from “sectus” meaning “cut off, amputated, divided”, giving us the modern English word “section”. However, “secta” in Latin has several meanings:
- a body of political principles, party, side, faction
- (philosophy) a doctrine, school, sect
In modern English, the word “sect” means:
- a group of people with somewhat different religious beliefs (typically regarded as heretical) from those of a larger group to which they belong; and
- a philosophical or political group, especially one regarded as extreme or dangerous.
So, if the C’s were describing the Thule Society as being a sect, this would suggest they had separated or broken away from another body with somewhat different beliefs. Could this body have been the Rosicrucians, a philosophical society? And given the Thule Society’s links to the fledgling Nazi Party, they would also seem to qualify as being extreme or dangerous, given the Nazis would embrace many of the Thule Society’s beliefs, including the idea of the superiority of the Aryan Race.
But also notice that the C’s speak of “circles within circles” and confirm that the Freemasons were one example of this. This same point may be equally applicable to the Orphic Circle (which included, besides Bulwer-Lytton, writers such as Lewis Carroll – the author of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass). A prominent man like Bulwer-Lytton could well have been a member of several esoteric groups such as the Freemasons, the Rosicrucians and the Orphic Circle at the same time. If this were true of Bulwer-Lytton, it would also be true of many other wealthy and influential men who, through their membership of divers powerful and secretive groups (like the Illuminati), are capable of influencing affairs from behind the scenes. So, was this true of the Thule Society?
The Thule Society
In order to determine whether we are looking at circles within circles with the Thule Society and the Rosicrucians, we need at look at links between particular individuals who may have moved in these circles, recalling that the secretive Rosicrucians do not keep membership lists like the Freemasons. In order to do this, I will resort to an earlier article I posted on the putative links between English Rosicrucians, including those who were members of the Orphic Circle, and their German confreres, and on the early roots of the Thule Society:
Emma Hardinge Britten and the Orphic Circle
Emma Hardinge Britten (real name Emma Floyd) was a skilled trance medium, so much so that Madam Blavatsky thought she was the best that she had ever seen. The two women were well acquainted and Britten, who would go on to become one of the leading spiritualist advocates and practitioners of the 19th century, would be heavily involved with the theosophists in the early days of that movement until she fell out with Blavatsky and subsequently broke all links. Britten was a writer, orator and spiritualist who even had an influence on Abraham Lincoln’s presidential re-election in 1864 (via her ‘Coming Man’ speech). However, in her youth she had been an accomplished actress, singer and musician who performed on the West End stage in London. She was therefore already well known in London circles before she became a leading advocate for the spiritualist movement. It is her prowess as a medium though that first brought her to the attention of Bulwer-Lytton and the Orphic Circle.
She developed a reputation for her abilities as a spiritual or trance medium/clairvoyant during her early years. This may have brought her to the attention of the Orphic Circle. To make this link, I am attaching an article written by David Charles Manners in 2017, which describes his ancestor’s (Charles Thomas Pearce) involvement in the Orphic Circle and names Edward Bulwer-Lytton as a member as well as quoting directly from Britten.
Although she does not name them specifically, Britten had this to say about the Orphic Circle in 1887:
“When quite young, in fact, before I had attained my thirteenth year, I became acquainted with certain parties who sought me out and professed a desire to observe the somnambulic faculties for which I was then remarkable. I found my new associates to be ladies and gentlemen, mostly persons of noble rank, and during a period of several years, I, and many other young persons, assisted at their sessions in the quality of somnambulists, or mesmeric subjects....
I should have known but little of its principles and practices, as I was simply what I should now call a clairvoyant, sought out by the society for my gifts in this direction, had I not, in later years, been instructed in the fundamentals of the society by the author of ‘Art Magic’. When modern spiritualism dawned upon the world, for special reasons of my own, the fellows of my society gave me an honorary release from every obligation I had entered into with them except in the matter of secrecy. On that point I can never be released and never seek to be; but in respect to the statements I am about to make, my former associates . . . not only sanction, but command me to present to the candid enquirer [. . . the substance of the article to which these two paragraphs are an introduction.”
She subsequently added:
‘[They] claimed an affiliation with societies derived from the ancient mysteries of Egypt, Greece and Judaea’, whose ‘beliefs and practices had been concealed from the vulgar by cabalistic methods.’
Indeed, it is in Britten’s writings and those of her mysterious friend Chevalier Louis de B_ (the author of ‘Magic Art’ and ‘Ghostland’) that we find almost everything that is now known about this society. Manners also quotes Louis de B in his article:
“These initiates considered themselves ‘magians’, a term for Zoroastrian priests with ‘supernatural’ powers, though their methods were said to have been ‘inspired by far loftier aims and regulated by much more pious aspirations than those of most other English magicians’ [‘Louis de B’].”
So who is this Louis de B? In 1875, Emma Britten made this statement:
“In 1850 Emma Hardinge [Britten], then a resident of London, England, learned from two German gentlemen of her acquaintance some remarkable details of a society which held its sessions at Hamburgh and Berlin, the chief object of which was the study and development of the occult forces latent in Nature ...
. . . Emma Hardinge‘s friends were professed materialists, and, being officers in the Prussian Army, men of culture and ability, they were accustomed to strengthen their own disbelief in the soul‘s continued existence after death by quotations from many of the most renowned literary authorities of their own country. . .
“The author of ‘Ghost Land’ was himself an initiate of their body [i.e., the society at Hamburgh and Berlin ... He was also] a clairvoyant of most remarkable lucidity and power. Being associated in intimate relations with the President of the Brotherhood, who was indeed his tutor in early youth, whilst little more than a mere child he was employed as a magnetic subject ...
This gentleman, now a warm Spiritualist and believer in the power of disembodied spirits to effect what he once attributed to the spirits of mortals only, still affirms his faith in the superior force of the embodied human soul to perform feats of ponderous strength ...”
Despite some deliberate confusion between Prussia and Austria in her account, leading her at one point to speak of “the Berlin Brotherhood, Austria”, it is clearly Louis de B_ who is meant here; the other Prussian will then be his tutor, who bears the pseudonym Felix von Marx in Ghostland.
So now we have our first hint of a German connection and it is to Germany we must now turn for the development of Bulwer-Lytton’s ideas concerning the Vril energy.”
From the above we learn that as early as 1850 there was a society or brotherhood based in Hamburg and Berlin, whose chief object was the study and development of the occult forces latent in Nature. This fits the pattern of the Rosicrucians when you compare the activities of the Invisible College and Sir Francis Bacon’s circle of associates, many of whom were practising alchemists. Could the later Thule Society and the Nazis have been the heirs and beneficiaries of the research of the Berlin Brotherhood?
Turning now to the Thule Society, I would again like to quote from an earlier post on the society’s genesis:
The Thule Society
The founder of the ThuleGesellschaft (Society) was Rudolf von Sebottendorf, a son of middle-class Prussian parents. His original name was Rudolf Glauer. Glauer spent much of his youth in Egypt and Turkey. Indeed, he became von Sebottendorf whilst in Turkey, where he would claim that he had been adopted by the patriarch of the family, Baron Heinrich von Sebottendorf. The von Sebottendorf family never challenged the claim and actually endorsed the relationship. After his return to Germany, von Sebottendorf founded the Thule Society, borrowing heavily from the racial doctrines and beliefs of Lanz von Liebenfels and Guido von List. These doctrines included a revisionist history of an ancient very high civilisation from which the Aryans were descended. This was blended with the claims of ancient lore that Aryans descended to Earth at the poles (usually the North Pole) and dispersed themselves throughout the planet, marrying the lesser humans already on the planet and, by doing so, corrupting their race [MJF: Based on what the C’s have told us, I would suggest that what they were really describing was the Aryan survivors from Kentak who the Greys had brought to Earth after their planet had exploded]. Note that the name ‘Thule’ itself is a reference to a mythical lost continent located in the high north.
To understand the importance of the Thule Society to the history of Germany in the first part of the 20th century you only have to consider that Rudolf Hess, Adolf Hitler’s Deputy Fuhrer, joined the Thule Society in 1919 a year after it was [supposedly] created. When one learns that the Thule Society used the emblem of the swastika freely in its iconography, you immediately get the idea of how important the Thule Society may have been in the formation and evolution of the Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party’s (the Nazi Party) doctrines, particularly those relating to racial purity. Indeed, at least one modern commentator has described the Thule Society as the midwife of the Nazi Party. Many of the early Nazi leaders were members of the Thule Society, although there is no documentary evidence that Adolf Hitler was ever a member. This does not mean that Hitler was not a member or that he didn’t have strong associations with the Society. It simply means that there is nothing to record the fact. Given Hess’s strong influence on Hitler and his ideas in the early days of the Nazi Party, it would certainly be surprising if Hitler had not met with von Sebottendorf. But whatever the truth of the matter is, when Hitler came to power in 1933, he ordered that all secret societies should be disbanded in Nazi Germany and that included the Thule Society.
The Vril Society
But the Nazi Party was not the only movement that the Thule Society gave birth to. They were also supposed to have given birth to the Vril Society or the Luminous Lodge in Berlin. Could this organisation be the same Berlin Brotherhood previously encountered in the story of Emma Britten? Another important member of the Thule Society was General Karl Haushofer (although this has been refuted by modern historians), a German geopolitician of renown and a leading occultist. Haushofer was a teacher, mentor and friend to Rudolf Hess. Haushofer’s son, Albrecht, was also a political geographer and geopolitician in his own right and was an adviser to the German Foreign Ministry in the 1930’s. Father and son may even have played a part in Hess’s ill-fated flight to Britain in 1941. There are those who argue that some members of the Vril Society (including Haushofer) had contacts with the English secret society, the Order of the Magic Dawn (although this was supposedly defunct by 1923), which had leading English politicians attached to it. Could this again be evidence of the Berlin Brotherhood? They claim that Hess’s flight was to make use of these links to bring around a peace settlement between Germany and Britain. It should be noted that Albrecht Haushofer subsequently joined the anti-Nazi resistance during WW2 and was murdered by the Gestapo in Moabit Prison in 1945.
Unlike the Thule Society, there is little documentary evidence to establish the existence of the Vril Society. What exists is sparse indeed. Willy Ley, a German rocket engineer, who had emigrated to the United States in 1937, wrote an article titled “Pseudoscience in Naziland” that was published in the magazine Astounding Science Fiction in 1947. Among various pseudoscientific groups in Germany at the time of the Nazis, he mentions one that looked for the “Vril”. He said this group, which he thought called itself ‘Wahrheitsgesselschaft’ (Society for Truth), was more or less localised in Berlin [MJF: Again, could this society have been related to or the modern counterpart or continuation of the ‘Berlin Brotherhood’ of the mid-19th century?]. According to him, the group devoted its spare time looking for the Vril. It is only fair to mention that Ley made no mention of Haushofer in his article.
The existence of the Vril Society was subsequently alleged in 1960 by Jacques Bergier and Louis Pauwels in their book the ‘Morning of the Magicians’. They claimed that the Vril, Society was a secret community of occultists in pre-Nazi Berlin that was a sort of inner circle of the Thule Society. They also thought it was in close contact with the English Order of the Golden Dawn (see above). Louis Pauwels would go on to claim in his book ‘Monsieur Gurdjieff’ that the Vril Society had been founded by Karl Haushofer, who was a student of the metaphysicist Georges Gurdjieff. However, there is nothing to substantiate this and historians take the view that there is no historical foundation for Bergier and Pauwel’s claims.
Although I am sympathetic to the views of mainstream historians concerning a lack of documentary evidence for the Vril Society, others have done extensive research into Nazi scientific endeavours during this period and this research paints a rather different picture as to how far advanced Nazi research truly was. Mainstream historians also tend to overlook the scientific research of Nikola Tesla, who certainly made giant strides in discovering the way to transmit energy without the need for wires and cables in the early part of the 20th century. It is hard to imagine the Nazis were not aware of his research. For a fuller treatment of this subject, I would recommend readers to look at the work of Dr. Joseph P. Farrell and in particular his books ‘Reich of the Black Sun‘ and ‘The SS Brotherhood of the Bell’. Farrell, an American, is a German speaker and has gone back to original sources for the research uncovered in his books. Remember also that the C’s confirmed the existence of the Nazi Bell (Die Glocke) and the fact that it was a time machine in the transcripts. They also confirmed the existence of a Nazi base in Antartica that survived the war (see attached article on Maria Orsic for further information on this). Hence, even if we cannot prove the existence of the Vril Society as an incontrovertible fact, this does not in itself disprove that there may have been research in pre-war Germany into exotic forms of energy of the kind Bulwer-Lytton was referring to in his book. The plethora of UFOs sightings in the post war period could not have all been alien and many of them had a clear nuts and bolts dimension to them.
Assuming something like the Vril Society existed in Germany what was it intended to do? According to some sources, the objective of the Vril Group was to acquire knowledge about Vril (free energy) through psychic means and to disclose pertinent information to the Thule Society in order to further the interests of the Nazi Party. Thus, what would come from this channelled knowledge was the development of the ‘Munich Device’ called the Jenseitsflugmaschine (“JFM”) or "Otherworld Flying Machine". The first Reichsflugscheiben ("Nazi UFO") supposedly began construction in 1922 in Munich.
This metaphysical project was subsequently confiscated by the Schutzstaffel (SS) in 1933, after a likely tip-off by the physicist Winfried Otto Schumann who allegedly had been aware of the JFM since 1924. As we have already noted, when Hitler came to power as Chancellor of Germany in 1933, all secret societies and esoteric organisations were suppressed and banned by 1935. Thus, the Vril Group’s metaphysical research was confiscated and taken over by the SS to serve their interests, which would lead eventually to the RundFlugZeug (RFZ) program to create armed Nazi flying discs.
So, we see from the above a number of individuals such as Rudolf von Sebottendorf, Rudolf Hess and General Karl Haushofer who moved in different circles, some of which overlapped. It is General Karl Haushofer, a geopolitician of renown and a leading occultist, that I want to concentrate on next, as Joseph Farrell has a lot to say about him and his influence on Nazi geopolitical geomancy.
General Karl Haushofer and Geopolitical Geomancy
Farrell believes that the origin of the Nazi interest in geopolitical geomancy was most likely Hitler’s political guru, General Karl Haushofer, head of the Insitut für Geopolitik at the University of Munich and university mentor to Hitler’s first deputy, Nazi Party Reichsleiter and occultist Rudolf Hess.
Before we proceed with the key role Haushofer played within the Nazi regime, it would help to describe what geomancy was and why it was so important to the Nazis when drawing up their war plans. Quoting Nigel Pennick from his book Hitler’s Secret Sciences:
“[The buildings and temples on sacred sites, sites whose locations were themselves determined by arcane methods] were specifically designed to channel and enhance those (Earth) energies to the exclusive use of the priesthood that owned them, for to possess these sites was to have control of the ‘Psychic body’ of the whole country. In ancient times, the sacred layout of the country was held to be essential for the well-being of the fields, the flocks, and mankind, so the government of a nation depended upon a control over the country’s geomancy.”
I would suggest that a prime example of this design was the ancient Egypt of the pharaohs, where the sites of temples and other sacred buildings was very carefully chosen* by the priests who were the spiritual leaders (and scientists) of the people. However, it was Haushofer who schooled the Nazis on this sacred geography.
*Farrell entertains the thought that these ancient sacred sites were chosen because they might be nodal points on the Earth Grid – places where the longitudinal standing waves intersected or interfered.
Quoting Farrell:
Hess, in command of the Nazi Party’s own intelligence gathering organ, the People’s Organisation for Germans Living Abroad, or the so-called Auslands division, placed his mentor Haushofer at the head of this organisation. In this twin role of the head of the premier geopolitical institution in the world as well as having access to the Party’s considerable intelligence organisation, Haushofer conceived of his grand geopolitical scheme. [Quoting Sklar from The Nazis and the Occult] “His was the head which conceived of the plan by which Germany was to conquer the world.”
Haushofer had been a veteran of the Kaiser’s General Staff and was appointed a military attaché to Germany’s embassies in the orient including a stint as the military attaché to the German Embassy in Tokyo. There he learned Japanese and, according to Pennick, “became initiated into one of the most arcane Buddhist secret societies”. Unfortunately, Farrell doesn’t tell us which society this was.
But apparently that was not all there was to the general. While in Japan he came to believe:
“that the Germanic race had originated in Central Asia, and that, in order to preserve German superiority for ever, the Reich should expand to the east. This expansion should not only include Eastern Europe, argued Haushofer, but should encompass the Ukraine [MJF: Curious given what we have recently learned from the C’s about the portal located there and its use as a landing zone for Kentakkian refugees] and Russia, Turkestan, Iran, Mount Pamir, the Gobi and Tibet.”
Hence, the reason for this modern-day expansion of the Teutonic Knights’ (an offshoot of the Knights Templar) Drang nach Osten was for more than just Lebensraum, an idea that had also originated with Haushofer, but also because Tibet and Iran were also “places of great importance in sacred geography …”
It was this occult influence that underpinned the massive research programme Haushofer’s Insitut für Geopolitik undertook. Farrell here quotes from Sklar’s book The Nazis and the Occult again:
“He [Haushofer] had long believed that Germany would give birth to a leader who would rule the earth; and astrological predictions had convinced him that this leader would accomplish his mission in an alliance with Japan. He often had premonitions, upon which he acted. He convinced Hitler that the Institute must find out everything about its enemies: strengths, weaknesses, impending famine, religious sensibilities, the personalities and tastes of officials, the morals and corruptibility of even minor bureaucrats, and the views of opinion makers. To collate, sift through, and to interpret all this material on every country in the world. Haushofer enlisted a staff of more than a thousand students, historians, economists, statisticians, military strategists, psychologists, meteorologists, physicists, geographers, and other specialists, working in Germany and abroad. [MJF: What today we would call a “think tank”]
The research apparently paid off. When in 1938, the General Staff was worried that France would mobilise if Germany invaded Czechoslovakia, Haushofer assured them that it neither could nor would. He turned out to be right. He argued that Poland could be defeated in 18 days. The military disagreed. They feared their armoured trucks would bog down in the Polish mud. Haushofer said it would not rain. It did not. The General Staff didn’t believe Germany should invade Norway. Haushofer prophesied that it would be easy. The military wanted to invade France when the war first started. Haushofer urged that they should wait until German propaganda had made its full impact on the people. He also dictated when the campaigns in [North]Africa and the Balkans would begin. It was his idea that the Nazis make temporary friends with Russia, despite widespread anxiety about collaborating with the communists. He wooed Latin America for its usefulness against America.”
I trust this gives the reader some idea of how far reaching Haushofer’s influence on Nazi geopolitics was.
However, for the purposes of his book, which obviously concerned the Earth Grid, Farrell particularly noted among the types of experts that Haushofer gathered in his geopolitical institute were physicists, which for Farrell strongly suggested that the Nazis knew there was something deeper in ancient geomancy than just particular alignments of structures on an astronomical grid. Farrell concludes that Haushofer was attempting, and in a great measure succeeded, in bringing scientific rationalisations to ancient geomancy, transforming it into the modern “science” of geopolitics that had something to do with physics.
For Farrell, the upshot of Haushofer’s geopolitics and of the Nazis more generalised interest in all manner of claimed occult “powers”, was that they were searching for modern scientific rationalisations of ancient legends and lore, and by finding such rationalisations, were attempting to restore lost technologies of power. Quoting Pennick again:
“Nazi occultists were deeply interested in all obscure manuscripts [MJF: As was John Dee!]. They carefully investigated all the ancient archives they plundered in their rampage across Europe in a search for some further knowledge which could aid their creation of the ‘New Order’.
Amongst this welter of half-forgotten occult lore resurrected by the Nazis was the physical control of nations by means of the ancient science of geomancy which some call ‘earth magic’. In ancient times, they found, a nation’s most sacred place was also invariably its seat of government. Possession of this sacred place, the psychic centre of the nation, meant dominion over it.
[The] whole science of geomancy finally became an essential magical tool in the conquest of Europe.”
Farrell then adds an important footnote in which he says it should be noted that Haushofer and his son Albrecht were in constant touch, even after the war began, with the upper echelons of the British elite, in the hope of ending the war with Britain. This would result in the disastrous Hess mission to Britain bringing his peace plan intended to end the war, an affair which the Freemason Hermann Göring was deeply involved with as Hess’s friend, confidant and political ally. However, Haushofer and his son Albrecht grew increasingly disenchanted with their false messiah Hitler and Albrecht would be implicated in the 20 July 1944 assassination attempt against Hitler.
