local revelation of the Goddess. She had spoken to the Lords of Tharsis; in the communication,
she affirmed that would be Her Fire what would be installed in the heart of men and would
transmute them; and that Fire, in a beginning extremely Warm, finally would turn colder than
the ice: and would be that Cold Fire what would produce the mutation of the human
nature.
It must be seen in this change something more than a simple aggregation of words: was
the first time that in a Cult appeared the possibility to face and overcome the fear, in other
words, to the feeling that in all Cults claimed the submission of the believer; the fear to the
Gods is an indispensable and necessary feeling to maintain alive, to ensure the terrestrial
authority of the Priests; if men are not afraid of them, finally he will rebel against the Gods: but
before he would rebel against the Priests of the Gods. However, this change would not be seen
if before it is not clarified something that today is not so obvious: the fact that in all the Indo-
Germanic languages «cold» and «fear» have the same root, what can still be intuited, for
example, in the word (here the author gives an example in an Spanish word which can't be
appreciated in the English translation) escalo-frío (that means chill of terror) with the Spanish
word Frío (cold). Well, in that time, the word «Frío (cold)» was synonymous of «fear» and, in
consequence, what the new Cult meant was that a terror without name would be installed in
the heart of the believer as «Grace of the Goddess»; and that terror would produce the
perfection.
In this way Belisana, the Goddess of the Cold Fire, had converted also in the «Goddess of
Terror», a title that, even if the Lord of Tharsis couldn't knew it, belonged in very ancient times
to the same Goddess, because the wife of Navutan was also known as «Frya, who infuses Terror
to the Soul and succor to the Spirit».
After the arrival to the Iberian Peninsula, the Golems tried many times to occupy the
Sacred Forest and control the Cult of the Goddess of the Cold Fire, but they were always
refused by the jealous and obstinate mystical madness of the Lords of Tharsis. Even they
reached to offer a genuine Perennial Lamp of the Swarthy Atlanteans, knowing that they didn't
have one and that they were obeyed to permanently watch the flame of their primitive lamp of
oil and asbestos. It is not necessary to clarify that they offered it in turn of the unification of
the Cult and the institution of the ritual Sacrifice, and that such proposal resulted unacceptable
for the Lords of Tharsis, the reason is obvious at this part of the narration. As it is also evident
that such resistance, unusual for who had imposed over all the native populaces, added to their
impossibility in the appropriation of the Wise Sword, what was permanently exasperating them
against the Lord of Tharsis. The reaction of the Golems unchained that international campaign
encouraging the conquest of Tharsis what ended in the dangerous Phoenician invasion attempt
from the Balearics and Gades, or Cádiz. But the Lords of Tharsis convoked the Lydian and made
the Phoenicians desist from their conquest project at least, for the next four centuries. From
the alliance between Iberians and Lydian emerged the «Empire of Tartessos», which soon
expanded through all Andalusia, and deprived to the Phoenicians of coast colonies in their
territory. The «Baleares» and the «Isla de León», settlement of Gades, remained isolated of
mainland because the Tartessians were only allowed to maintain an exiguous commerce
through their own ports. What would be the next reaction of the Golems before such might
which was developing out of their control and that was frustrating all their plans? Before to
give answer to that question, estimated and, paradoxically, patient Dr. Siegnagel, I must make
