In the Rosicrucian foundational text which appeared in Germany at the start of the 17th century: The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, we find a curious evocation of early Communism in the form of a proclamation which the protagonist, known only as ‘RC’, hears in a dream prior to the commencement of his voyage to the Rosicrucian castle to take part in the Chymical wedding.
“The joyful time is drawing on,
When every one shall equal be,
None wealthy, none in penury.
Who er'e receiveth great Commands
Hath work enough to fill his Hands.”
We have seen how the secret societies have been behind violent social-change in the name of ‘equality’ often with the result that those judged part of the reactionary former controlling establishment and those who had been successful within the previous system, were violently executed.
During the performances described in the text of the Chymical Wedding we find something somewhat disturbingly and rather unambiguously described as the ritual execution of six individuals described as kings.
“Mean time a little Bell was tolled, at which all the Royal Persons waxed so mighty bleak, that we were ready utterly to despair. They quickly put off their white Garments again, and put on entirely black ones.
Finally, there steps in a very coal-black tall Man, who bare in his hand a sharp Axe. Now after that the old King had been first brought to the Seat, his Head was instantly whipt off, and wrapped up in a black Cloth, but the Blood was received into a great golden Goblet, and placed with him in this Coffin that stood by, which being covered, was set aside. Thus it went with the rest also, so that I thought it would at length have come to me too, but it did not; For as soon as the six Royal Persons were Beheaded, the black Man went out again; after whom another followed, who Beheaded him too just before the Door, and brought back his Head together with the Axe, which were laid in a little Chest.”
The ‘mysteries’ which are described in the Chymical Wedding are attended by a throng of what are called ‘virgins’. It is likely that this word is chosen because of the evocation of purity and even a certain sense of Christian sanctity, but it is deliberately used to convey a false impression. The fact that these events unfold within the ministry of some sixty ‘beautiful virgins’ and other epithets are used, like ‘gentle virgin’ as well as certain theatrical effects being employed such as being drawn on “a gloriously gilded Triumphant Self-moving Throne’ and wearing “a snow-white glittering Robe, which sparkled of pure Gold, and cast such a lustre that we durst not steadily behold it,” all worked in concert to create “a beautiful and moving spectacle’. But if the description used was merely ‘women’ and if we choose not to be emotionally swayed by the apparent grandeur and appearance of grace of the ritual and strip down the facts to the ritual murder by beheading of six people, followed by the beheading of the executioner himself, aided and abetted by a large group of women in cultic attire, then we can clearly observe that what the text really describes is something like a kind of early Satanic ritual murder whose affect is to traumatise and transform, and also implicate, those in attendance in the guise of initiates.
