It was brilliant, and it spread interest in the film > greatly. *cough* Aurum Solis *cough* *cough* All pet vendettas aside though (and f* you, Al Billings), 'ice' was an important image for the occult circle around Julius Evola in Italy, and also in a slightly different way for the Fraternitas Saturni. Quite likely someone is trying to spin this out into a mythical farce about older, more secret societies in the background of Evola and the FS, much as two Llewellyn-funded hucksters did earlier with occult orders in Britain. Steps to occult fame and riches: 1. Identify a real secret society 2. Make up an older (and of course better!) secret society along similar (but of course better!) lines. 3. Hint that your made-up secret society is "still" around today. 4. Profit!!!! (and Prophet!!!)
