"Secrets of the Holy Lance" weaves together the many threads of the Spear of Destiny's legend like no book before it ever has. Simply put, we address more issues, events and topics than any other single book yet written on the Spear.
What is this "Holy Lance"? According to the Gospel of John in the New Testament, as Jesus Christ hung on the Cross a Roman centurion pieced His side with a spear. A legend has arisen that "whosoever possesses this Holy Lance and understands the powers it serves, holds in his hand the destiny of the world for good or evil."
Also called the Spear of Destiny, this strange relic has been written about for nearly two thousand years. Trevor Ravenscroft captured the world's attention with his 1972 opus "The Spear of Destiny." At the end of the 1980s Col. Howard Buechner released two books that became underground classics, "Hitler's Ashes" and "Adolf Hitler and the Secrets of the Holy Lance." These picked up where Ravenscroft left off, with the Spear leaving Europe to hide for a while beneath the ice of Antarctica! Unless you have read Buechner's books you don't know that part of the story ? and there's more!
"Secrets of the Holy" Lance places this legend against the backdrop of world history: from its mythical creation by Tubal-Cain, seventh generation grandson of Adam, to its appearance at the Crucifixion; its use by Constantine, Rome's first Christian Caesar; to Charlemagne's claim that with it he ruled the Holy Roman Empire by Divine Right; and on through twelve hundred years of kings and emperors, until it came within Adolf Hitler's grasp ? and beyond! Did it really rest for a while in Antarctic ice? Is it now hidden in Europe, awaiting the next person to claim its power to shape the destiny of mankind? Or is it just an old spearhead, with no powers of its own?
We cover at length the several objects claimed to be The Spear, and the scientific testing that suggests that none of them are. Conversely, we delve into the metaphysics of this object and the hundreds of strange tales of supernatural events surrounding it. Could it really be a link to the "other side"? Mere belief that it was infused with magic by virtue of its shedding the Savior's Blood has made men kings. But what if it's more? What are those mysterious "powers it serves"?
As well as religious and metaphysical angles we also cover the political. Operation Paperclip at the end of World War II brought Nazi rocket scientists and spymasters to the US. Escaped Nazis set up vast German reservations throughout South America. We trace where these Nazis went and how the Third Reich morphed into the Fourth, which is part of the slide of America in totalitarianism today. If the Buechner scenario is true, then the Spear is again with them. Is there a connection between the Spear and current events ? like the horrific events of 9/11?
Topics in the book include: The Holy Grail; The Templar Knights; Nazi Occultism; Secret Societies; the quest for Agharta, Shambhala & Atlantis; Nazi UFOs; Operation Paperclip and the founding of NASA and CIA; Operation Highjump, Station 211 & The Battle For Neuschwabenland; The Rise Of The Fourth Reich, and much more.
