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.
