In Hyperborea, in the shadow of the Irminsul, the Maga priestesses initiate heroes into the cult of Magic Love and Sacred Marriage. The Garden of the Hesperides is there, the garden of golden apples of which Homeros spoke. In Celtic legend this is Avallon, the island of apples where the tree with the golden apples grows. Hercules, the Greek hero of indomitable will, finds them. They are the apples of eternal life and resurrection and moreover they are the Grail. Apples symbolise the Morning Star, Venus, from whence the divine ancestors come, and the knowledge with which one must be synchronised to resurrect. The woman Maga hands the apple (the Grail) to the hero. The tree is the column of the sky, Irminsul, and the Serpent of Eternal Life and eternal youth coils around its trunk.
