The Count of Saint Germain.

Most people have never heard of him, but to those who have, the name generally elicits one of three reactions. 

To someone who hears his name thrown about on the peripherals, it likely induces a roll of the eyes. 

To the conspirituality crowd of today, he is a literal god. An immortal Ascended Master living in a hidden city under Mount Shasta, guiding the spiritual evolution of humanity. A key Master in Helena Blavatski’s Theosophy that is worshipped still today as the central figure in the American offshoot of Theosophy, the I Am Activity.

But to the initiated elites of the 18th and 19th centuries, he was the man. The man who walked into the Palace of Versailles dripping in diamonds, speaking every language perfectly, telling wild stories about being immortal while holding a bottle of the elixir of life. He was revered as an adept in the occult, a master alchemist, a Rosicrucian, and had the ability to walk into any secret society of the day and receive an honorary spot amongst the leadership.

But all these people, no matter the opinion they have on him, all share one thing in common. Nobody is sure who he actually was or what he was doing.

This is part 4 in our timeline of the Prisca Theologia, but this episode is going to be different. This wont be a sweeping overview of 100 years of Hermetic influence, this time we’re going to be more singularly focused. This story is the beginning of the inevitable outcome that was always going to happen once the church lost it’s grip on information and the secret societies of Europe reached critical mass.

This is a story about one mysterious, immortal man, a secret society from Bavaria called the Illuminati, The French Revolution, and what they all have to do with each other.
