The Spear of Destiny…one relic Hitler would have loved to acquire.

Holy relics…the relics that any and all archeologist, antique dealer &/or psychopathic madman or woman, lets be pc on this one, would want to get their hands on. Sure relics of the past are a huge market especially on the black market. Hell there is massive amounts of money given each day for the real things as well as forgeries and fakes. Which I guess a forgery is a fake so why do people usually say the two together? It doesn’t matter, but what does matter is that ancient holy relics have been sought after since after the death of Christ. Sure Egyptian and Chinese and ancient English relics are by far among the top of those those relics sought after, but ancient holy relics far surpass those.

So what types of ancient holy relics are there, well Im glad you asked…ok you might not have asked, but for literary sake I am saying you asked so just keep reading. Soon after the crucifixion and death of Christ it was said that any relic associated with him or his stories of miracles throughout the bible would bring a wide range of powers to those who possessed them. These weren’t just limited to Jesus, but a good majority of them were.  Spilnters from the cross, nails that were driven through him, the ark of the covenant, the holy grail and so on and so on, the list keeps going and going and growing and growing.

It is said that if you took at the supposed splinters if the cross and put them together that it would total around 50 crosses. Why is this you might wonder? Well because back in the day fakes were more rampant then they are now a days. However there is one holy relic that was sought for by one of the most psychotic madmen to have ever lived…so far. That man would be Hitler and that holy relic would be the spear of destiny. It is said that whomever possess the spear of destiny will have unlimited power and everlasting life. That’s right who ever has that spear can never die and have power that rivals that of God himself. Wow…can you imagine that? Hitler could.

For those who do not know exactly what the spear of destiny is, well it would be the brass tip of the spear that pierced the side of Jesus while he was dead and crucified upon the cross. Roman guards would pierce the side of those men crucified in order to drain the blood and ensure that the person was in fact dead, this was common practice. However the fact that it was the side of Christ made that particular spear more valuable than any other.

Hitler was a prominent member of the Thule society which in essence were a bunch of relic hunters and occultists who were into some dark things as well as some things that are just sort of out there like the hollow earth society. They took their teachings from psychics and cult leaders of the past as their doctrine and believed the possession of these relics would make them invincible. Hitler’s leader of the SS Henrich Himmler was one of the major players on this and sent out campaigns across the world to find such items.

Now its quite obvious that Hitler never was able to get his hands on this spear because well…he is dead and the Nazi regime is no more…well at least to the world power they once were. So where is this spear of destiny? Has anyone found it? The answer to both of those questions is yes it has been found ad it is currently sitting in the English Museum located in England. So does it posses the power it is said to? Nobody knows and as for it being the actual spear tip it is unconfirmed. Yes they have done some carbon dating and other experiments to check its validity, but its more of a word of mouth and a legend of lore with it being the one and only true spear tip.

I have had the privilege of being able to see it and it s simple rusted spear tip, but the story and history associated with it makes it more than just a rusty piece of metal. Whenever your in England I encourage you to check it out along with all the other antiquities they have collected over the years.

Be safe and splinters are religious,
