Their influence spans generations; their impact resonates long past their physical lifetime. Count Saint Germain, also known as Comte de Saint Germain, or Saint Germain, was an enigmatic figure of the 1700s who achieved notoriety in European high society, attracting kings, playwrights, and followers. He was considered a mystic, philosopher, social influencer, and an “Ascended Master.” To some, the Count represented the second coming of Jesus Christ, and a being who defied death, being reincarnated throughout the ages. Who was Count Saint Germain and how did he achieve a god-like status that remains today? To understand the man, one must dig deep into the many aspects of one of humankind’s most cryptic, yet influential spiritual entities. St. Germain’s Mysterious Beginnings Count Saint Germain’s beginnings are as enigmatic as the life he lived. Believed to have been born in 1710, many claims he was of Portuguese descent, perhaps from a Jewish family. Others tracked his birthplace to the Italian village of San Germano, which explains the name he was most commonly known as — Count Saint Germain. He was also known by other pseudonyms, including the Marquis de Montferrat, Comte Bellamarre, Chevalier Schoening, Count Weldon, Comte Soltikoff, Graf Tzarogy, and Prince Rákóczi, son of Francis II Rákóczi of Transylvania. What is known is that Saint Germain possessed great personal wealth and a wide-reaching knowledge which included mastery of most European languages, the arts, music composition, and virtuosity as a violinist. It has been said of his musical ability, he played as if he was an entire orchestra. Well-traveled among the aristocracy, Saint Germain, with his quick wit and intelligence, wielded great influence politically, which also caused him to be seen as a provocateur. Blavatsky's Influence on Occult America Blavatsky's Influence on Occult America After being arrested (and later released) in England in 1743 as a Jacobite spy, Count Saint Germain fled England and moved to France, establishing himself as a central figure in Louis XV’s court, where he was appointed a diplomat. However, after a political dispute involving relations between Austria and France, Comte de Saint Germain fled to Russia where it is said he played an important, albeit behind-the-scenes role in the 1762 Russian revolution. But aside from Saint Germain’s political impact across Europe, his stature in the mystical and spiritual world is where his lasting influence was most felt. Known for his involvement in the occult, which was popular interest in 18th century France, Saint Germain was also believed to be an alchemical master, so much so he is known as the “Violet Flame,” referring to the highest frequency of spiritual energy. According to Stephen Wagner, Saint Germain is said to be linked to “several secret societies, from the Rosicrucians to Freemasons, Society of Asiatic Brothers, the Knights of Light, the Illuminati and Order of the Templars.” He created an aura of mystery among the nobility by hypnotizing them with tales of past lives and magical powers. Saint Germain as a Prophet According to one source, Saint Germain returned to France during Louis XIV’s reign as a confidante of Marie Antoinette, who was acquainted with the Count’s reputation as a mystic and prophet. When he predicted events with eerie accuracy, including a detailed foretelling of the French Revolution, the queen reportedly responded, “…only royalty will be left.” Saint Germain replied, “Not even royalty. There will be a bloodthirsty republic, whose scepter will be the executioner’s knife.” However, Saint Germain didn’t live to see his prophecy come to fruition. His recorded death is between 1781 and 1784, years before the French Revolution unfolded. However, many believe that was the only the first of his many incarnations, including that of “Ascended Master.” Ascendent Master and Mystical Encounters The most lasting myth surrounding Saint Germain is his status as an “Ascended Master,” with many who claim to have encountered him over hundreds of years.
