Course XXVII - Teaching 21: The Germans

A tribe of pure Aryans, survivors of the great migration hecatomb, lived as if they were lost in the immense snowy steppes of Nordic countries.
They were red-haired men, of sharp and metallic gaze like steel, tall and handsome; their piercing cries resounded in the vastness of glacial deserts.
They inherited from their Aryan parents their worship to divine Nature and beautified it by means of legends and poems.
Germans are brothers of these peoples from the north of Europe; they preserve the type, worship and warlike tradition.
The epic of these peoples is written on the Scandinavian Edda, which is their holy book. You should not mistake it for Eddas written by Snorri Sturlesson about 1200.
Alphadur is the only god born of the boreal light on luminous skies. Thor or Donar is god of power; Odin is god of wisdom; and Freyr is god of kindness. They are the Scandinavian trinity.
In the course of times, Odin prevails over the rest of gods and becomes Wotan, god and lord of sky and earth, another Jupiter that steadily rules over destinies of gods, men and demons.
His enemy is Surtur, the black Satan of earth and abysses, with a cold and implacable space between them.
Friga is Wotan’s wife, symbol of fertilization, holy home and worthy matrimony.
Their sons are the shining Azas, thirty-two brave warriors that defend the Walhalla. They fight against Imes and his people, the giants of ice.
You notice similar symbols in other people describing a war waged between Aryans and Atlanteans.
There is a war between heaven and earth, between giants and gods. Thor, god of lightening, Odin’s first-born son, and Bora, god of courage, fight in this great war and destroy those immense figures of ice. Earth becomes a river of blood, and a new race shows up on it. From the cut head of Imes, the human mate comes into being: Aske and Ambla.
Nine shining virgins, the far-sighted Walkiries are born; they announce the combat and on their white horses they lead the dead victor, the fallen soldier to the blissful abode of Walhala. They see destiny of men and lead always to victory.
In his wonderful music drama “Ring of the Nibelungs”, Wagner refers to such cosmogonic legend.
Combat was the highest religious worship to these savage peoples who lived in icebound jungles and attacked in an unstoppable way because they knew that after death they would be taken to paradise on a white steed by those warriors-goddesses.
Worship was held in the jungle, under a holy ilex or ash tree; ilex was devotes to ancestors and ash tree to gods.
There, a wild pythoness in white, on the light of full moon, invoked gods and established day and hour of the combat. She prevailed over chiefs of the clan, and her word was absolute and sacred.
Sometimes Ferni, a fierce wolf, tied by gods to a terrible chain, howled amid thunders and lightening, claiming for human blood; then they sacrificed human victims to placate the wrath of this dreadful wolf. On the altar of white stone, the priestess opened the chest of young soldiers chosen for martyrdom. But this people had to perish and this religion had to end, pushed by Roman eagles and Christian cross. This was foretold by their holy books when they prophesized that the wicked Lake would destroy and defeat gods, Walhala would sink in flames, and everything would be again in ruins.
This image refers to a cosmic re-absorption the day of universal rest, but also can be applied to a fall of these pure Aryan beliefs.
