 The
Ninth Century and the Holy Grail
W. J. Stein (Walter
Johannes Stein)
'The
definitive work on the historical background to the Grail Romances
of the mediaeval age.'
-
Trevor Ravenscroft, author of
The Spear of Destiny
'One of the most valuable and original works
on the Grail yet to appear in any language.'
- John Matthews, author of The Mystic Grail
Much plagiarised and
its contents distorted over the years, Walter Johannes Stein's The Ninth
Century and the Holy Grail is a
classic of original scholarly and spiritual research into the Grail
legend. In studying
the central Grail narrative - Parzival, by Wolfram von Eschenbach -
Stein takes a twofold approach. On the one hand he searches
historical records in order to identify actual people and events
hidden behind the Grail epic's veil of romance. And on the other
hand, he deciphers Eschenbach's hidden spiritual messages, revealing
Parzival to be an esoteric document containing mighty pictures of
the human being's inner path of development.
He
reveals the period of the ninth century to be of more than
historical and academic interest. It is the karmic ground out of
which the destiny of modern times grows - the mighty battle that
must take place between the powers of the Grail and the sinister
anti-Grail forces at large today.
