Case of Grigori Rasputin?

Post by Liberator »

What kind of user do you think Grigori Rasputin was if it is true he was a big user of magicks? He is one of the only notable examples of an alleged occultist or someone accused of one having a major influence on the nation's affairs with no official power of any kind. Many accused him of being a black magick practitioner and he exerted powerful indirect influence over the Romanov family. Even playing a role in the events that lead to their downfall. Grigori Rasputin could not be killed via normal means literally. He still lived when he was brutally shot in the head, stabbed, beaten, strangled and etc. Only died after being trapped under an icy river for a long time but even then he was said to have survived for some time when he was thrown in before death by drowning. If it was true he did practice magick then he is one of the only and most outstanding examples of someone achieving something close to practical immortality.

Rasputin was an extraordinary man. Probably one of the best hypnotists at the time.
BUT, we have to remember that there is a lot of myth, rumors and simply lies and fabrication around his story.

From what we can tell and verify he was shoot twice in the body in an assassination attempt, which he escaped and was then shoot once in the head, died and then thrown in the river. He was never stabbed, strangled, executed, hung, poisoned or anything like that.

He was however stabbed in another incident 2 years before he was murdered and spent 6 weeks in the hospital recovering.

I highly recommend reading Nelipa, Margarita (2010). The Murder of Grigorii Rasputin. A Conspiracy That Brought Down the Russian Empire. Gilbert's Books. ISBN 978-0-9865310-1-9.

I'll leave you with these quotes:

"According to Dominic Lieven "more rubbish has been written on Rasputin than on any other figure in Russian history"."

"The "drowning story" became a fixed part of the legend. Rasputin was already dead when thrown into the water. "There is no evidence that Rasputin swallowed water after being pushed into the Neva or that he had freed his arm to make the sign of the cross."

"Colin Wilson said in 1964 that "No figure in modern history has provoked such a mass of sensational and unreliable literature as Grigori Rasputin. More than a hundred books have been written about him, and not a single one can be accepted as a sober presentation of his personality. There is an enormous amount of material on him, and most of it is full of invention or willful inaccuracy. Rasputin's life, then, is not 'history'; it is the clash of history with subjectivity."
