Occultists subscribe great power to this "Spear of Destiny", also known as the "Spear of Longinus". Supposedly, the leader who "possessed it and understood the powers it served, held the destiny of the world in his hands for good or evil." [Trevor Ravenscroft's "The Spear of Destiny", p. xii]. This spear has been held in the House of Hapsburg, in Vienna, Austria, for centuries, and is on public display in a museum. One of Hitler's first official acts, once he annexed Austria, was to drive to Vienna in a motorcade, go to the museum, and take physical possession of the Spear of Destiny. At that point, Hitler believed he possessed the power to overcome all odds and conquer the world. At that point, World War II became inevitable. A short time later, when Hitler published the inverted Swastika as the symbol of his Nazi Party, White Magic occultists the world over gasped with alarm, as they realized he was going to use this power for Evil, not Good. And, they realized he possessed the Spear of Destiny! As Hitler stood in front of the Spear of Destiny display in the Hapsburg Treasure House Museum in Vienna, staring at the Spear, strange sensations exploded within him. As Hitler later recounted, "The Spear appeared to be some sort of magical medium of revelation for it brought the world of ideas into such close and living perspective that human imagination became more real than the world of sense. I felt as though I, myself, had held it in my hands before in some earlier century of history -- that I, myself, had once claimed it as my talisman of power and held the destiny of the world in my hands. Yet, how could this be possible? What sort of madness was this that was invading my mind and creating such turmoil in my breast?" [Ibid., p. 9] Adolf Hitler committed suicide just a few days after the Americans took control of the Spear of Destiny!
>why didn't he bring it with him to the bunker? he did. you need to read up on what patton did.

Can you elaborate please?

Seems to me like a very dumb move, he should have had that super powerful spear with him at all times. Like right next to him, it should have been his most priced possession aside from his very life, if the enemy was close by he should have taken the spear with him and ran to a car and gone to the bunker. Very dumb move.
What doesn't work like that?
Adam Sullivan
What did Patton do?

the very idea that some inanimate bauble can command the will of the Almighty is absurd not even the "ark of the covenant" had such capabilities nor did the staff wielded by Moses - they were merely objects that the Almighty used to accomplish His will so what does that say about the "power" contained in this "spear" if: >it has control over the destiny of worldly affairs >it can be "used" by people for evil intent >there is no actual biblical basis for this occultist urban legend sounds a lot like solomon's key, which, if it isn't outright made-up bullshit, is at the very least demonic
We don’t believe the spear has magical powers. We believe it’s a weapon that pierced the side of Jesus. We don’t know that this is even it.
Levi White
Reminder that this is the spear that pierced Odin's side whilst hanging upside down from Yggdrasil

The original rusted away long ago and was replaced with a reproduction. Stonehenge is also artificial, something for schizos to gravitate to so that the real peeps with psychic powers can be determined when they start talking about what actually happened. Keep on sperging

Thats literally a lance from the 9th or 10th century which was peddled to Heinrich I. as the lance of Longinus (somehow combined with a nail of the holy cross) to help boost morale in the fight against Hungarian invaders. It also broke at some point, which is which it's got that golden sheath
Josiah Martinez
It's a replica. The original was removed and is protected to this day.

How you gonna say all that and not even mention it's the spear that ultimate killed Jesus?
do you know they analyzed the spear a while ago with a shitload of science and found out that the iron nail that is beneath the gold and that is lined with the "speaR 2thing you see is just a couple of hundred years too old to be from jesus's time ? no ? bad for you
