Oera Linda from <Qocheedy Daiin> by The Far Stairs

The Oera Linda Book was a major influence on the Theosophists. The text alleges that Europe and other lands were, for most of their history, ruled by a succession of folk-mothers presiding over a hierarchical order of celibate priestesses dedicated to the goddess Frya, daughter of the supreme god Wr-alda and Irtha, the earth mother. It is purported to have been compiled in the 6th Century B.C. from a mixture of contemporary writings and ancient inscriptions. The last two sections of the Oera Linda Book, the writings of Konered and Beden, contain a number of lacunae, and the book itself breaks off in mid-sentence.

The book articulates the first known example of the concept of root races (though it does not call them that), and probably influenced H.P. Blavatsky to develop her own, much more elaborate ideas on the subject, as outlined in The Secret Doctrine (1888). It also mentions Atland (the name given to Atlantis by the 17th-Century scholar Olof Rudbeck), which was supposedly submerged in 2193 B.C., the same year 19th-Century Dutch and Frisian almanacs give for Noah's flood.

Heinrich Himmler's unfortunate obsession with the Book led to it becoming a central text of Nazi occultism.

Just your average nightmare pop band.
