Monte Verità

Monte Verità (mountain of truth) is a site near Ascona Switzerland, used by anarchists like Mikhail Bakunin and Theosophists like Aldred Piod and Franz Hartmann and declared a Ordo Templi Orientis by Theodor Reuss in 1917. Mountains have been used in pagan rituals for thousands of years.  It was a destination for German Wandervogel (=blue bird Horus) youth groups of Hans Bluher. It served to revive the Greek pedophilia religion and as a blueprint for the Green Church, the Beatnik scene of Greenwich Village and the hippie counterculture of the 60's with mind controlled drug addicts (CIA project Laurel Canyon, Haight-Ashbury) as a transition to a Luciferian world religion in the Aeon of Horus (god of truth), the New Age Church.
