Throughout the ancient mysteries, Sig is the name of the original, great initiate. All names composed with “Sig” lead back to Sig, for example Sigurd, Sigmund, Sieglinde and so on. Siegfried was the initiate who had found peace in initiation. “Peace” means that which leads the human being beyond all doubt; it is the satisfaction of desire, the desire for knowledge, for power. Siegfried is depicted in all pictures as invulnerable. Achilles, the Greek initiate, remained vulnerable at one point, at the heel. Siegfried, after overcoming the dragon, became invulnerable except for one point, the point between the shoulder blades. This is where the cross is to be carried. This symbol played a profound role in the ancient mysteries. There it was said: You are all vulnerable at the point where one will have the cross. The one who will cover this place with the cross, the cross-bearer, will be the great initiate who is no longer vulnerable. This is what gives the Nordic saga its great appeal. This wisdom was an apocalyptic wisdom.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XV.

Überall in den alten Mysterien ist Sig der Name des ursprünglichen, großen Eingeweihten. Alle Namen, die mit «Sig» zusammengesetzt sind, führen zurück auf Sig, so zum Beispiel Sigurd, Sigmund, Sieglinde und so weiter. Siegfried war der Eingeweihte, der in der Einweihung den Frieden gefunden hatte. «Friede» bedeutet das, was den Menschen hinüberführt über alle Zweifel; es ist die Befriedigung der Sehnsucht, der Sehnsucht nach Wissen, nach Macht. Siegfried wird in allen Bildern dargestellt als der Unverwundbare. Achilleus, der griechische Eingeweihte, ist an einer Stelle verwundbar geblieben, an der Ferse. Siegfried ist nach der Überwindung des Drachens unverwundbar geworden, bis auf eine Stelle, die Stelle zwischen den Schulterblättern. Das ist da, wo das Kreuz zu tragen ist. Dieses Sinnbild spielte in den alten Mysterien eine tiefe Rolle. Dort wurde gesagt: Ihr seid alle verwundbar an der Stelle, wo einer das Kreuz wird liegen haben. Derjenige, der diese Stelle mit dem Kreuz zudecken wird, der Kreuzträger, der wird der große Eingeweihte sein, der nicht mehr verwundbar ist. — Das gibt der nordischen Sage den großen Zug.
