Abramelin Posted November 28, 2012 Author #2026 Share Posted November 28, 2012 What was Overwijns ideology?? All I can say, by reading his book (second edition, 1951), is that he was much influenced by Blavatsky ('root races') and Velikovsky. And most if not all of his etymology was based on Celtic languages, and not anything (Germanic) we all here came up with. - I don't consider New Agers to be equal to Nazis, They both use(d) the same books, but came to different conclusions. I also don't consider modern Pagans to be equal to Nazis, though they both used the same books and Nordic (and Celtic) myths to fabricate their beliefs.

Abramelin Posted November 28, 2012 Author #2027 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Reasons to doubt Overwijn's resistance story and that his OLB work would have been illegal: Source: www.oeralindaboek.nl/...dossier24 Overwijn. J.F., - De strekking van het O.L.B. Onze voorvaderen: de West-Friezen van Doggerland (Verslag van twee lezingen voor het genootschap 'Yggdrasil'). - Het Vaderland 1941, 25 Maart en 10 Apr. Overwijn. J.F., - Thàt Ura Linda Bok, Opnieuw bewerkt en uitgegeven door --. - Enkhuizen, N.V. Enkhuizer Courant v.h. D.C. Egmond, 1941, LVII, 189, XXIV pp. 8° (get. Dordrecht, Aug. 1941). vgl [nr. *635]. Overwijn, J.F., - Merkwaardige namen en plaatsen in het O.L.B. - Ons Eigen Volk III, 1943, pp. 262-271. . . . Edit: The founder of Yggdrasil was a National Socialist. In 1932 was hij [Elle Gerrit Bolhuis, 1887-1970] een van de oprichters van de Kelto-Germaanse Studiekring Yggdrasil. Vermoedelijk vlak voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog bekeerde hij zich tot het nationaalsocialisme. source: nl.wikipedia.org/Elle_Gerrit_Bolhuis And if his '41 book would have been forbidden, it would not have been reviewed in the Enkhuizer newspaper. I see no reason to doubt his resistance story because of what you posted about what he published. Many here in the Netherlands wanted to go back to the good 'ol Germanic times, but not in the way the Nazis suggested. .

Otharus Posted November 28, 2012 #2028 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Not equal, but being similar in ways may make them suspicious to some. Overwijn's '51 edition will be different from the '41 ed.

So do you believe that Goebels forbade his book?! It was published in the open and even reviewed in the newspaper. He held lectures in NSB circles. Enough reason to make up a resistance story (as many 'suspicious' people did). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramelin Posted November 28, 2012 Author #2030 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Remember, Goebels forbid Overwjn's book to be published AFTER his merry men found out/ concluded the OLB was nothing but nonsense. .

I have the 1951 edition, and it's a tome, 400+ pages.. And with more sentences a page than in Alewyn's book. If Alewyn had published his book using as many sentences a page as Overwijn did, Alewyn's book woukd have counted only 200 pages or less. .

Abramelin Posted November 29, 2012 Author #2039 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Instead of downplaying what I posted about Overwijn, you should embrace it instead. It proves someone can believe in the OLB, even write a tome about it, and still have no 'love' for anything Nazi. ++++ EDIT: I translated the important part of post 2036: Has, through courageous action against the enemy, distinguished himself already right after the occupation of the Netherlands in 1940 by taking part in the resistance and some time later by joining an intelligence group that was also active in Belgium, a group which aimed at gathering information in the Netherlands about the enemy, and for that purpose, in for instance 1943, while he accepted the risk, mapped the island of Texel and recorded the military data concerning the island. Further because, when he was arrested in Dordrecht in July 1943 by the enemy and after many long interrogations, was sentenced to death and after having spent a year in prison, was transferred to prisons in Germany in 1944, he was able to preserve a high moral as an example to others despite the inhumane treatment. .

Als hij in de oorlog ter dood veroordeeld was, hadden ze hem niet nog een jaar lang gevangen gehouden.

A death sentence would have led to immediate execution. Why would 'the enemy' have spared his life and fed him for almost two years? And again, if he worked for the resistance, why would he have been so utterly stupid to risk being arrested by publishing about the OLB in 1943, despite prohibition?!!!!!

It simply all does not make sense. It all makes sense when you think of his writings as a cover-up. For the enemy he was only busy writing about some weird fantastic book, but most of the time he was gathering info.for the resistance. Eventually the Germans nailed him, but they could use him for the info he had gathered. No doubt he was able to keep them busy checking his info. His 'gift' saved his ass, so to speak.

Otharus Posted November 29, 2012 #2047 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Overwijn has done more harm than good to the credibility of the OLB, with nonsensical claims like that the JOL script is 20.000 years old, and that "Atland" actually comes from the Mayan word Atl = water, war, hair on the head (source Jensma 2004, p.156).

I think the OLB served for him as a way of relaxing, focusing on some fantasy to not go crazy by what happened in real life. It's like some general writing poetry during a break in a siege. That doesn't mean that general is some airhead, or softy or whatever, it just helps him to stay mentally sane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abramelin Posted November 29, 2012 Author #2050 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) I remember I already compared Alewyn's book with the one written by Overwijn. Alewyn once asked me if what he wrote in his book, his theory, was absurd or not. No, I didn't think that his ideas were absurd, but Overwijn's sure were. But a theory not being absurd doesn't make it true instead. . Edited November 29, 2012 by Abramelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
