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!!!)
