On Thursday April 2Oth, 2017 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will continue to review and discuss the modern English (2004) translation of Otto Rahn's 1937 Lucifer's Court. This was Rahn's travel journal from Southern France to Iceland when he researched his personal quest to solve the mystery of the Holy Grail as described in the Medieval romance Parzival by Wolfram von Eschenbach. Rahn believed that the Medieval Cathars -- the Gnostic Heretics who were wiped out by the Roman Catholic Albigensian Crusade in the 1300s, were the keepers of the Grail. In this instalment we will get into the possible Persian Manichean origin of Parzival (Aryan of course) and Rhan's fascination with Hercules and the Argonauts legends (also Aryan) We will also discuss Nigel Graddon's 2008 Bio on Rahn and his rundown on all of our favorite Nazi Spook Books influenced by Rahn's quest. So tune in and we will follow the shadow of the swastika from Southern France to Tibet and back again.
