The Morning Of The Magicians

The Morning of the Magicians was first published as Le Matin des magiciens. Written by Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier in 1960, it became a best seller, first in French, then translated into English in 1963 as The Dawn of Magic, and later released in the United States as The Morning of the Magicians. A German edition was published with the title Aufbruch ins dritte Jahrtausend (Departure into the third Millennium).

In a general overview of the occult, the book speculates on a wide variety of Forteana, mysticism and conspiracy theories such as secret societies, ancient prophesies, alchemical transmutation, a giant race that once ruled the Earth, and the Nazca lines". It also includes what have been called "largely silly" speculations such as Nazi occultism and supernatural phenomena conspiracy theory that the Vril were the precursor to the Nazi party.

The book has been credited with playing a significant role in bringing these kinds of ideas into the common awareness, spurring a revival of interest in the occult during the 1960s and 70s, and being a forerunner to the popularization of New Age ideas. In a 2004 article in Skeptic Magazine, Jason Colavito said that the book was substantially inspired by the horror fiction of H. P. Lovecraft, and was a central influence for Erich von Däniken's books on ancient astronauts. Notably short on references or sources, the book has also come under criticism.

Underground Mysteries: Hidden Secrets Of Our Earth

Krishna says: Of the celestial Naga snakes I am Ananta. Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 10, verse 29.


This article will highlight few mysteries that some people consider to be convincing in their belief that our Earth is hollow. A famous astronomer, Edmund Halley (1692), put forth the idea of Earth consisting of a hollow shell. Other scientists followed him too. Let us see if this belief is really so persuasive as their adherents say.

Moonshaft 

In Slovakia, we have an almost fantastic story about a moonshaft mentioned by Antonin Horak. His article first appeared in a speleological newsletter later in USA where he emigrated. Mr. Horak joined local (Czechoslovakia) anti-Nazi movement during World War II and when Germans wounded him, he needed some time for treatment and a place for hiding. A man took him into a cave near Zdiar. Mr. Horak explored the cave, but going deeper into it he found an artificially made shaft of a crescent-moon shape. It was completely black. The following link has more information www.moonshaft.net/caves.html 

Mr. Horak writes, "Is there truth in legends, like Plato's, about long-lost civilizations with magic technologies which our rationale cannot grasp nor believe?" Or, "I am a sober, academically trained person but must admit that here, between these blacks, satiny, mathematically-curved cliffs I do feel as if in the grip of an exceedingly strange and grim power."

Jacques Bergier, a famous French mystery writer, included some information about the Horak's story in his books, too, and described it as one of the most intriguing miracles waiting yet for its discovery in Europe.

The Horak's story is mentioned on many Internet UFO websites.

Hindu Nagas 

Hindus have a belief that very advanced creatures called "Nagas" (Snake People) inhabited and probably also inhabit our Earth. They are mentioned in many Hindu scripts including Mahabharata.

Utsuro Bune 

In about the year 1800, an exceptionally bizarre phenomenon occurred in Japan. It is not known very much in the Western world. A record was found in a library in Iwase Bunko (Japan) about an Unidentified Submerged Object (USO) as it washed up on the shore. Local people saw a woman coming out of the capsule. She was flawlessly decorated and had red eyebrows. She spoke a different language, so the locals could not figure out where she had come from. This event occurred at Harashagahama in Hitachi-no-kuni.

Underground Waters

Big underground water resources do not prove the existence of Hollow Earth, but localizing them gives evidence that large cavities inside our planet do really exist. A scientific website Livescience.com has an article about an underground ocean found deep under the Asian surface. Another interesting thing is the lake Vostok, which was found by Russian scientists under the surface of Antarctica some 4000 meters under the surface.

The Federal Cave Protection Act (US) 

In advocating their assumptions, followers of the Hollow Earth Theory also point to the fact that the United States federal law mandates federal permits whenever anybody decides to explore a cave. The Act, for example, says: Information concerning the specific location of any significant cave may not be made available to the public under section 552 of title 5, United States Code, unless the Secretary determines that disclosure of such information would further the purposes of this Act and would not create a substantial risk of harm, theft, or destruction of such cave. The term "Secretary" means the Secretary of Agriculture or the Secretary of the Interior, as appropriate.

Voices from the Underground 

I do not know how credible is the source the Finnish newspaper Ammenusastia used for its article that tells that Soviet scientists, when drilling into the earth, were astonished, as they heard millions of voices with screams deep in the earth. A Soviet scientist, doctor Azzacove, said that, "We drilled through the gates of Hell! As a communist, I don’t believe in heaven or the Bible but as a scientist I now believe in hell."

You can search youtube.com for keywords such as Azzacove, voices from hell, and listen.

Mahabali 

Mahabali was a king of the Indian region presently known as Kerala (the Indian southern state bordering with Tamil Nadu), who stands behind the most popular legend - the Onam legend, which is a festival in celebration of the king Mahabali, who returns to the state of Kerala from underground every year.

Lord Krishna came to the Kingdom of Mahabali as a dwarf Brahmin - the Vamana Avatar. Vishnu said he was a poor Brahmin and asked for a piece of land. The generous King said that he could have as much land as he wanted. The Brahmin said that he just wanted as much land as could be covered by his three steps. The king was surprised to hear such a humble request, and insisted that the boy ask for more. But the Brahmin again said the same thing. Just as king Mahabali agreed to grant the land to a dwarf who would mark it with his three steps, Vamana began to expand and eventually enlarged himself to the size of cosmic proportions. With his first step the Brahmin boy covered the whole of earth and with the other step he covered the whole of the skies. He then asked king Mahabali where is the space for him to keep his third foot. The king realized that he was no ordinary Brahmin. Vishnu then offered him to go to Patala, which is a nether world.

Vril 

Vril or The Coming Race is a book by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, published in the 19th century. The book is about an advanced master race living in the underground. But it is written so convincingly that many readers think it is not a fiction, but a testimony of the author's real experience.

Hyperborea 

The story of Hyperborea is a legend. Some people believe that very long time ago, after the destruction of Atlantis, the privileged part of the Atlantean society hid itself into the underground where it has stayed until now and UFO actually comes from here.

This theory assumes that Hyperborea still exists in the underground. Nazis, too, believed in the existence of Hyperborea as an advanced subterranean civilization and wanted to contact it.

A famous Greek (lyric) poet, Pindarus, glorifies Hyperborea in his poem: Neither disease nor bitter old age is mixed in their sacred blood; far from labor and battle they live.

As we can see, Hyperborea is part of Greek mythology. Pliny, Herodotus, as well as Virgil and Cicero described it. They wrote that Hyperboreans lived to the age of one thousand years and enjoyed lives in absolute happiness in a place where the sun was shining twenty-four hours. These mythical people lived somewhere in the north. When translated, Hyperborea is the land Behind (Hyper) the North Wind (Boreas).

Whether you believe the Hollow Earth Theory may be a fact or not, it stands on the above reasons. It is up to you to consider them.

Was Nazi Occultism Based On Hermeticism?

Hermeticism

Priests have had always a strong influence on all emperors, starting with Pharaohs. Hermeticism is a predecessor of alchemy; alchemy is a predecessor of freemasonry. Science of the occult comes from the Sun - it is the explosion of Light.

Hermeticism is an ancient collection of occult teachings and its tradition is based upon a strange concept of two suns, which also transferred into alchemy. By the term "occult" we mean "hidden to our eyes" - the term is nowadays frequently replaced by the more modern one - esotericism. Alchemy, albeit partially a deceptive tool of certain (occult) groups to gain a control of medieval emperors, was apart from its physical experimentation with matter also a spiritual path with arcane philosophy; some adepts believed that they could find the Philosophers' Stone (a materialized essence of God achieved by chemical experimenting with substances). The progress of success in one's work was termed as Black Sun - or Sol Niger - an old alchemic term. Hermes Trismegistos (ancient Egypt), who is supposed to be the author of various ancient scripts about hermeticism, had been an Egyptian.

Black Sun

When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold: there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth..."
Revelation 6: 12

The symbol of Black Sun had been used in ancient China more than 3000 years before Christ - the nephrite disc is found in archaeological excavations in graves of higher Chinese caste. It is a disc with a circle aperture in the middle. The aperture most probably signifies blackness of the sun during sun eclipse; the term "black" comes from this wonder of nature.

This symbol also personifies the Egyptian god Ra - a small dot in the middle of a circle is Ra's symbol in hieroglyph writing. The blackness in the middle can also be the "eye of God" (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_symbol)

Black Sun is simultaneously a symbol of Indians and it can be found in several ancient cultures too. Does this name mean that eclipse has always been considered a gateway to secrets and expectations of significant changes? Nazis used this symbol too. Why?

Prima Matra and Vril

Prima Matra is an ancient term. The Matter, in accordance with this concept, had had its purest inward essence at the very beginning of Creation. It is Prima Matra.

Vril is a secret energy known in mystic waters under various names such as Holy Spirit, Mana, Prana, Philosophers' Stone, Chi, Kundalini, Ilu or Orgone... The term Vril comes from a very interesting person. Edward Bulwer-Lytton was a playwright, poet and politician (1803-1873). He wrote a book (a kind of a utopia similar to Francis Bacon's New Atlantis) entitled The Coming Race where he describes a very advanced master race living in the underground, which the author had visited while exploring mines with his friend. The book is written so persuasively that many readers started to believe it had really happened. In addition, it also became a basis for establishment of few secret societies.

The name of the Nazi military organization SS could simultaneously hide from view another message - a secret SS part - an organization in the organization, as can be assumed by German abbreviation for Black Sun, which is Schwartze Sonne. An interesting argument that may support this notion is the factual existence of Black Sun in the Nazi heraldry (SS symbol was also: two flashes of lightning in the shape of S inside a dark circle).

A Vril society was formed, as claimed by authors Bergier and Pauwels in the 1960's, who also wrote another famous book entitled Le Matin des Magiciens. A very strong medium of the secret Vril society was Maria Orsitsch or Orsic (written differently, as it is a Croatian name) and she was first mentioned in a book written by the above authors (Bergier and Pauwels): Aufbruch ins dritte Jahrtausend: von der Zukunft der phantastischen Vernunft. The Vril society was purely a female group and Maria had allegedly contacts with extraterrestrials. But this was not the only secret group mentioned in reference to history of Germanic and Nazi secret movements. DHvSS (in German: Die Herren vom Schwarzen Stein) is a group of "men of black stone" the origin of which goes back to medieval Europe when Templars first visited the Orient. Of few other similar groups we may also mention Thule Society, which started in 1911.

Vril as a group slithered to life again from its black habitats and it is presently known as Causa Nostra. Their website has also some reference to German admiral Canaris, who participated in anti-Nazi opposition. Wilhelm Canaris was the head of Abwehr - German intelligence; he also stood behind attempts to assassinate Hitler. Canaris also saved lives of a number of Jews. Nazis executed him at the end of World War II. Canaris could be involved in many other secret activities of the Nazi Germany.

Isais/Isaie

This is an enigmatic German goddess, but only a modicum of information is available about her; however, some references link her origin with Assyria. Isais is very similar to the Egyptian goddess Isis. Templars had allegedly imported her to Europe from the Orient in the year 1220 and thus the group DHvSS had been formed with Ilu as Holy Grail. I have this information from Thule temple, which is active in present Europe and has its website but only in German.

Holy Grail

It is not any beautiful cup as most people might think, but rather a black dish or stone Jesus had allegedly drunk wine from; those who believe in the existence of this stone think that it has strong miraculous powers. The first reference about the Holy Grail made Chrétien de Troyes in a poem in about 1180-1191.

Traces of hermeticism are perhaps still visible including freemasonry. The bigger the secret comes into our hands, the more we are drawn by the magnetic possession and blackness of it into the overt oddities of the universe. The answer to this article's title is...hmm... probably yes.
