The Vril Society

Vril means the Light Force. The Vril Society was also known as the Lodge of Light or the Luminous Lodge. This society combined the political ideals of the Order of the Illuminati with Hindu mysticism, Theosophy and the Cabbala. It was founded, literally, on Bulwer Lytton's novel The Coming Race, in which he describes a race of men psychically far in advance of ours. The Vril Society presented the idea of a subterranean matriarchal, socialist utopia ruled by superior beings who had mastered the mysterious energy called the Vril Force. The Vril Society was one of he most influential of the occultic groups in post-WWI Germany and many of Germanys social elite were members. Since 1960 there has been a conspiracy theory about a secret Vril Society. A German author Wilhelm Landig has linked Vril Society with Nazi UFOs and an escape by high Nazis to Antarctica.
