The Mistery of Belicena Villca
Before leaving , he took some typewritten sheets from the bookshelf of documents and handed them to me . “ They are – he told me – the transcription of the article ' Druidism ' from the Encyclopedia Britannica : read it ; it will refresh your memory ". He locked up the druidic library and we returned to the kitchen .
I was drinking another cup of tea , still confused by Tarstein ' s revelations , when the latter , who had left a moment before , returned .
– I went up to my study to look for this manuscript – he showed me a book , skillfully bound , and handwritten in exquisite Gothic characters . Its title is " Secret History of the Thulegesellschaft ". I wrote it using knowledge that is completely secret and that in Germany only a few Initiates know in part . You can read it later , but you should not take it out of this house because it is the only copy that exists and its secret contents could change the political organization of the planet if they fell into the hands of the Enemy . Here is explained , for example , how did the Initiates of the Einherjar Order do to determine that Adolf Hitler was the Führer of the White Race and how they guided him to Power ; and the intermediate Orders they had to found , like the Germanenorden and the Thulegesellschaft , until reaching the Order possessing the Hyperborean Wisdom in the Highest Degree , that is , the Black Order SS .
You can imagine how eagerly I looked at that manuscript , wishing to have the possibility to read it right there . The words sounded mysterious in Tarstein ' s mouth , and this impression was accentuated by the unreality of the place , where centuries were crossed with only walking a few meters of corridor .
– Your taufpate Hess --Tarstein continued , changing the subject-- I know him since he appeared in Munich in 1919 . He was a young student of geopolitics when he joined the Thulegesellschaft that year . However we recognized in him one of the great Spirits of Germany , whom he came to be the Squire of King Arthur . A Parsifal whose mission would not be this time , the search for the Gral but the sacrifice of sitting in the dangerous seat during the Kingdom ' s crisis , that thirteenth place on the round table that can only be occupied by a Pure Madman , a Knight capable of making a Madness of Love to save the Kingdom . That is why Rudolph has always been close to the Führer , waiting for his time , as the faithful Knight .
And we must all wish that his opportunity never comes , for when Parsifal undertakes his mission , it will mean that King Arthur is wounded , and that the Kingdom is terra gasta . I nodded at Tarstein ' s inquiring gaze , but this mute . answer didn ' t impress him at all . – You don ' t fully understand what I ' m saying , right ? So it should be because : who will be able to understand the pure madman ? his mission is not earthly ; the victory , if he triumphs , can only be celebrated in other Heavens . Few will be , yes , those who applaud the anonymous hero in Rudolph Hess . And yet on him depends , to a large extent , the triumph of the Führer .
How much meaning these words would have , which Tarstein told me in that first visit to Gregorstrasse 239 , four years later , when in 1941 Rudolph bravely prepares to face the elementalwesen ! But that Saturday in 1937 the war , and all the horror to come , were still far away , in a future that I could not suspect .
On the other hand , Tarstein ' s comments caused me a certain pride , in my capacity as godson of the prudent Rudolph Hess , and with a pleasant feeling I smiled foolishly , without deepening the hidden meaning behind the symbology of the Arthurian legend .
I will not elaborate on this first visit because it was not much more that we spoke . After an hour , as I recall , I left there plunged into a sea of doubts but with the firm intention to continue until the end .
Rudolph Hess had interposed his influence to make me reach Konrad Tarstein , whoever he was , and I was unwilling to let him down .
An hour later , on the train , I was reading the article in the Encyclopedia Britannica : it was not much what the English said about the Druids .
“ Druidism was the faith of the Celtic inhabitants of Gaul until the time of the Romanization of their country , and of the Celtic population of the British Isles either up to the time of the Romanization of Britain , or , in parts remote from Roman influence , up to the period of the introduction of Christianity ".
“ From the standpoint of the available sources the subject presents two distinct fields for inquiry , the first being pre-Roman and Roman Gaul , and the second pre-Christian and early Christian Ireland and Pictland . In the present state of knowledge it is difficult to assess the interrelation of druidic paganism ”.
