When it is said that the Germans celebrated their religious services “under oaks”, it does not only mean that they really celebrated their services under natural oaks, but it also means that they were under the guidance of the Druids. And when it is said that Boniface “fell the oak,” it means that the old Druidic service was overcome by Christianity. A true fact was given in the form of the saga. The Druid introduced the true facts into the sagas. The Druid priest was already speaking to all the souls that are today absorbing our worldview. He spoke to them in a way that was appropriate for that time. All of us who have adopted the theosophical worldview have heard the same things before in myths and fairy tales, otherwise we would not be able to understand them today. This is the secret of the great masters: they live fully in the awareness that they are among people who are repeatedly embodied.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XV.

Und wenn es heißt, daß Bonifatius «die Eiche gefällt» habe, so bedeutet das, daß der alte Druiden-Gottesdienst durch das Christentum überwunden wurde. In Form der Sage wurde eine wahre Tatsache gegeben. Der Druide brachte die wahren Tatsachen in die Sagen hinein.

Wir alle, die wir die theosophische Weltanschauung aufnchmen, haben dasselbe schon früher als Mythen und Märchen gehört, sonst würden wir es heute gar nicht verstehen können.
