Mickey Z. and the Holy Grail?

I just got my contributor’s copies of Preston Peet’s brand new anthology, Underground: The Disinformation Guide to Ancient Civilizations, Astonishing Archaeology and Hidden History. In it, I have an article entitled, “The Source of the Blood: Nazi Germany’s Search for its Aryan Roots.”

On this, 60 years to the day the Nuremberg Trials began, I post an article excerpt below. To read the complete article, click on the word “more” and the end of this post. I offer this article on good faith that some of you may end up supporting Preston by purchasing the book.

Say hello to Preston Peet

Excerpt:

Friedrich Nietzsche’s notion of the Ubermensch (superman) endured many interpretations…one of which involved a racially superior people—called “Aryans”—who once inhabited northern Europe. This idea would eventually find a murderous home in the architects of the Nazi regime.

It began in 1900, when German occultists formed a society called the Order of New Templars (ONT). “Eight years later,” says Jonathan Vankin, “another occultist formed a group called Armanen. They took the swastika as the Armanen emblem.”

“An ancient Indian symbol of good luck, the swastika was also the traditional symbol of Thor, the Norse god of thunder,” writes Robin Cross of Channel4.com. In 1920, a Thule Society member suggested to Hitler that adopt the swastika as the Nazi Party symbol. “Hitler placed it on a white circle against a red background, to compete with the hammer and sickle of the Communist Party,” Cross explains.

The ONT and Armanen merged in 1912 and became known as the Germanen Orden and six years after that, some members of the Orden created Thulegesellschaft, the Thule Society. “The legend of ‘Thule’ was a variation on the Atlantis myth,” Vankin explains. “Thule was supposed to be a nation of superbeings with a utopian civilization. It flourished until 850,000 years ago, when it was wiped away by a cataclysmic flood.” The Thulians, so the legend went, brought destruction upon themselves by mating with a lower race. The Holy Grail for the modern Thulians was, well, the Holy Grail.

The legend of the Holy Grail— written in 1185—told of a vessel alleged to contain the wine of the Last Supper along with the blood of the crucified Christ. “Supposedly Joseph of Arimathea confiscated it and then used it to collect blood from Christ’s wound as he hung on the cross,” writes psychologist Katherine Ramsland at CrimeLibrary.com. “Joseph then took the cup to England to hide it in a secret place—Avalon—and it became the ambition of King Arthur’s knights to find it and make it the center of their enterprise.”
