APPENDIX B

Let’s analyze the true meaning of these initiation stories individually. I’ve synthesized the concepts sufficiently, avoiding confusion with Evola’s polytheistic enthusiasm, which I do not share.

Understanding the true meaning of these stories makes it difficult to imagine Jesus Christ condoning these beliefs, mysteries, and initiations. This is an ancient tactic of the “snake,” to blaspheme the savior by incorporating him as another idol within their pantheistic folly.

A ritual configuration mirrors Egyptian practices, as if a shared polytheistic principle adapts to different lore. This plasticity defines Gnostic doctrines, Theosophy, and New Age movements. Claiming keys to all religions, this belief adapts to cultures through diverse arrangements, maintaining astrological alignments characteristic of polytheistic divination.

Sun, moon, north pole: their supermarket spirits and demons that like to be called gods testifies to their beliefs. A religion for initiates, like the ancient cults of Babylon, Egypt, and Greece.

KING ARTHUR, MERLIN LEGENDS

Arthur’s historical existence as a war leader against the Anglo-Saxons is less important than the depiction of his kingdom as a symbolic representation of central kingship rooted in Hyperborean tradition, acquiring a timeless and symbolic value. His kingdom’s association with England is therefore incidental; in medieval literature, it possessed a supranational significance, encompassing the finest chivalry. Medieval Christianity found him so compelling that he became its symbolic leader, and knighthood sought membership in Arthur’s Order. The name “Arthur,” likely derived from the Celtic “arthos” (bear) and “viros” (man)—Nennius explained, “Arthur latine sonat ursum horribilem!”—conveys a dreadful virile force, resonating with Hyperborean symbolism and hinting at a central, “polar” function. The bear is a sacred symbol in ancient Nordic cults and, astronomically, corresponds to Ursa Major, the “polar” constellation. Traditional texts, symbols, and names further connect this constellation.

The polar, Hyperborean, and regal converge in Arthur, symbolized by the pole, the center, and Thule, the Hyperborean “White Island.” Arthur, though potentially an *ursus horribilis*, is tempered by Myrddhin or Merlin, a spiritual complement embodying transcendent knowledge and power. This connection between warrior and spiritual principles defines Arthurian chivalry and its adventures. The Knights of the Round Table, not mere warriors, value their fellowship above all else, even familial ties. The Grail represents the transcendent element that completes this knighthood, evident where Arthur’s kingdom and the Grail’s become one.

STONE AGE – Solar Temple

The stones of Stonehenge, a source of enduring interest and mystery, prompt questions about their cutting and transport to their current location. These stones appear to be the remnants of an ancient solar temple from the Megalithic or Neolithic era. Merlin, commanding his warriors to move these immense stones, challenges them to discover whether physical strength or spirit is the greater power. The warriors fail, but Merlin succeeds with ease. The Arthurian cycle’s warrior virtue possessed a spiritual anchor, as exemplified by the exhortation: “Fight on for your own land, and even welcome death, if necessary; for death is a victory and the liberation of the soul.” This echoes the ancient concept of *mors triumphalis*, a key element in the ethics of heroic traditions.

THE SWORD

Arthur proved his kingship by extracting a sword from a stone on the temple altar, a “stone of kings” echoing the Tuatha de Danaan. This embodies two symbols: the “foundation stone,” suggesting polar power, from which a “virile” sword must be drawn; and the freeing of power from matter, the stone’s typical representation. This aligns with Arthur, guided by Merlin, receiving Excalibur from an arm over the water. Forged in Avalon, this weapon, held above water, signifies detachment from material, passional life. This overcoming is necessary for those seeking regal mandate and knighthood, ultimately to find the Grail.

Andrea Cappellano describes Arthur’s kingdom as separated by a river, accessible via a dangerous bridge, defended by giants, and containing a constantly revolving castle: “regal castle” (Caer Rigor) or “rich men’s castle” (Caer Golud). Within resides a supernatural vessel, taken from an “other world” king, resembling the Grail and Dagde’s vessel of the Tuatha de Danaan. It satiates, heals, and protects against time’s erosion, but denies gifts to cowards and oath breakers.

A revolving castle (Caer Sidi) equates to the “rotating island” of Celtic sagas, often akin to the Glass Island and Avalon, alluding to the polar land spinning on its axis and carrying the world in its rotation. This evokes the image of the Universal Ruler (cakravartin), literally “spinner of the wheel,” the immobile center moving the wheel of the regnum and ordered universe.

The knights of the Round Table, or the best among them, numbering twelve, correspond to the twelve peers who in the Roman de Brut “divide the earth in twelve parts,” each becoming a king. Twelve, a solar number, appears where a traditional center is established or attempted: the twelve thrones of Midgard, Olympian gods, Delphic stumps, Roman lictors, Avallonian residents, and counts/paladins of Charlemagne. In the Grail and Arthurian cycles, the Siege Perilous, a vacant seat for an awaited knight superior to all others, sometimes portrayed as the thirteenth knight, symbolizes the supreme function of a center, a leader or pole for the twelve, representing the cakravartin.

Arthur’s kingdom, often identified as Locris or Logres, an old name for England, was considered the home of the Grail. Arthurian knights sought the Grail to restore the kingdom and break spells afflicting the land, as described in the Mabinogion. The Grail represents something lost, needing rediscovery, and someone must ensure its virtues are restored, often the knight destined for the Siege Perilous.

King Arthur exists in two forms: a suprahistorical figure symbolizing a function, and a historical figure representing that function, central to fatal events linked to the destruction and disappearance of the Tuatha de Danaan and their descendants.
