Subject: Vehmgericht??
Date: 11 Apr 1996 03:08:38 -0700
I am looking for information regarding the Vehmgericht. The information
that I have been able to get a hold of so far has been somewhat scanty at
best.
This is what I know so far:
* Founded in 772 C.E. by the Emporer Charles the Great (Charlemagne)
* Secret tribunal made up of various mercenary groups
* Occupied Westphalia, and viewed it as a sacred land
* Originally comprised of five knights of whose names I do not know
* Hired to remove the Saxons and native Pagan religon from the area of
Westphalia.
* The Vehm is thought to origianlly have had connections with the Wild Hunt
* Possible meaning of Vehmgericht could be something close to "Forest Law"
or "Tree Law" and be Celtic in origin
* During the fifteenth century, King Robert reformed the Vehm and allied
it to the Church via the Inquisition
* All members were initiated in Westphalia on the red earth which they
held as being sacred
* One of the chief centers was at Dortmund
* The last local chief, or Friegraf died at the age of 99 in 1826.. His
name was Zacharias Lobbecke.
* They were a magickal order, practicing in a way similar to the
magical-geomantic Northern Traditions.
My feelings are that they had other reasons for being in the position
that they were in. I believe that there is much more reason to this order
than what initially is seen. I think that the motivating factors of this
order were hidden, and wish to do a little more research into it. Finding
information though, is not very easy. If you know or have heard anything
related to this order, I would be more than grateful for any leads.
Thank-you.
