Eranos
Eranos (Greek for 'banquet') is a discussion group that gathered in a series of conferences on science, religion, history, psychology and yoga founded by Theosophist Olga Frödl-Kapteyn and funded by the Melllon family, as start of the Luciferian world religion. | ![]() |
From 1933 (year of rise Antichrist figure Adolf Hitler, Jung Carl and Joseph Campbell=JC like Jesus Christ) the conferences were held near the Ordo Templi Orientis center Monte Verità, near Ascona Switzerland (Rudolf Steiner of the Theosophical Society, Paul Klee, Isadora Duncan, Hermann Hesse,..). Members of the Monte Verità community created the modernist Dada movement at the Cabarat Voltaire in Zürich (death of God, nihilist crisis announced by Friedrich Nietzsche).
The Theosophical Society did research on yoga to use dissociation techniques in trauma based mind control (used to train Hollywood actors). Like the Hitler Youth and the Wandervogel movement of Hans Bluher that visited Monte Verità, its goal was to reinstall the Greek pedophilia religion and to move towards one Luciferian world religion in the Aeon of Horus (god of truth).
Olga Frödl-Kapteyn was influenced by Alice Bailey, who worked for the UN and Lucis/Lucifer Trust. Her mother was a friend of Fabian GB Shaw. She was a friend of Dion Fortune (HOGD with Crowley).

Through the Bollingen Foundation the Mellons published and promoted writers like WH Auden, Ezra Pound, Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, André Malraux, Stephen Spender, David Cecil and Delmore Schwartz (NY Intellectuals, treated at Bellevue). Jung was influenced by Emanuel Swedenborg and contributed to The Trickster of rabbi Paul Radin (CCNY, student of Franz Boas). The Mellons also played a role in the hippie drug culture of CIA agent Timothy Leary.
Herbert Read founded the Institute of Contemporary Art with Roland Penrose, nephew of physicist Roger Penrose.
In 1949 Joseph Campbell wrote The Hero With a Thousand Faces (Tarot journey of the Fool), which influenced George Lucas. He was a friend of the daughter of president Woodrow Wilson and Willis Harman of SRI.
It became the model of CIA front Esalen Institute (human potential movement, hippie counter culture, the New Age Church).
