Commemoration May 28 Medieval Founder of the House of Orange - Petitions to Dutch King William-Alexander for a New Chivalric Order and a Golden Tip

On May 28, it will be 1200 years ago that the founder of the original House of Orange, the Frankish William of Orange, paladin of Charlemagne, protector of Celtic Christianity and patron saint of the knights founded the Christian monastery Gellone in the village of Saint-Guilhelm-le-Desert in Southern France would have died (his official year of death is also given as being 812). According to a recent multidisciplinary erudite research report, published by the Willehalm Institute in Amsterdam in 2013 "How the Grail Sites Were Found - Wolfram von Eschenbach as a historian" by the Swiss anthroposophist Werner Greub, however, this Guillaume d’Orange as he is known and still venerated in France, would have died more than a generation later than is generally assumed, based on not always reliable ecclesiastical documents, For according to this latest research, this leading figure in Wolframs epic “Willehalm” was none other than the enigmatic Master Kyot de Provence, the spiritus rector behind the coronation of the knight of the Word, Parzival as king of the Grail, a spiritual event of great significance for the history of mankind that took place on the second day of Pentecost, May 13 848 in the Grail castle Munsalvaesche situated in the landscape of the Arlesheim Hermitage near Basel, Switzerland, an historically  acknowledged ancient Celtic holy site.
In order to do justice to this, at first sight, astonishing, if not wholly unbelievable information concerning the hitherto hidden spiritual biography of the founder of the House of Orange, who was even married to an Arabian princess Arabel whom he converted to Christianity, there will be - as was announced last year during the exposition “The Virtues – Towards a New Courtesy in Amsterdam City Hall”,  a small commemoration held on Wednesday May 28 in remembrance of his death 1200 years or so ago. This will take place between 1.30 and 2.30 PM near the equestrian statue of his later namesake William of Orange or Silent, the founding father of the Netherlands, in front of Noordeinde palace in the Hague.  There, two petitions to his Majesty King Willem- Alexander will be read and expounded on, after which they will be personally submitted on behalf of the signatories to the military police at the entrance to the royal working palace to be forwarded to the king. Following that, a copy of the first petition (part 1) will be submitted to the High Council of Nobility (Hoge Raad van Adel), which is an advisory body to the king in such matters of chivalry and heraldry.   
The First Petition - Willehalm Order of Knights of the Word

The first petition to His Majesty is to incorporate a Civil Willehalm Order of Knights of the Word as a supplement to the Military Willems-Order, established by King William I in 1815 and named after their medieval namesake and patron saint of knights in the person of Willehalm.  As the Grand Master of the Military Willems-Order, our reigning monarch has, according to the Dutch Constitution, the sole jurisdiction for this purpose. The aim of this new order would be to promote and protect the new form of Celtic or Grail Christianity that went underground in the 9th century, but that in the beginning of the 20th century was reawakened to new life on earth by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), inspired by what he called the powers and substances in the spiritual world of the " New Christianity", and what has come to be known, even though not always in the proper light, as anthroposophy or science of the Grail. This would be the means by which a much-needed contribution to the re-Christianization of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (and beyond) could be made, an integral part of which is the reformation of the world economy through the new principle of civilization, also inaugurated by Rudolf Steiner, called social organics.
Since 1990 the Willehalm Institute Press Foundation, founded in 1985 in Switzerland and settled in 1986 in Amsterdam, has sought to prepare the ground in The Netherlands for this mission by publishing the said publication of Werner Greub on de discovery of the Grail sites, dedicated to King William-Alexander, as well as publishing the works of Herbert Witzenmann, such as "Charter of humanity – The Principles of the General Anthroposophical Society", “The Just Price - World Economy as Social organics" and especially "The Virtues - Seasons of the Soul". Of this last-named book its colorful illustrations by Dutch painter of Jan de Kok together with its 12 corresponding monthly meditations have since April 6 been on display at the Chapel of Zuylen Castle in Oud-Zuilen nearby Utrecht to enhance a series of weekly readings under the title "The New Christianity” of the 12 chapters from the book under (Dutch) translation "Anthroposophical Meditations on the Old Testament" by Valentin Tomberg that will be followed by his " Anthroposophical Meditations on the New Testament and the Revelation of John."
The Second Petition – Karate Bob and the Secret of Noordeinde Palace

Update: Slobodan R. Mitric died on November 25, 2016 in abject poverty of a heart failure without proper medical attention. He was cremated some 10 days later. 

The second petition can, with the necessary impartiality, be considered to be within the spirit of the Willehalm Order, because it concerns a writer, Dr. Slobodan Radojev Mitric (alias Karate Bob), who by virtue of his books, i.e. literary crime reports in the service of truth and justice, may be called a modern knight of the Word. This in spite of repeated attempts at character assassination at the hands of the Dutch Department of Justice in conjunction with the press and media of the overworld, not to mention the real attempts on his life by the underworld. 
This request to the king to reveal the "Secret of Noordeinde Palace" is not only done in the interests of a threatened and even tortured human being, but also in the interests of threatened humanity as whole. This is borne out e.g. by the latest open letter Mitric wrote in his function as World Director of WACE (World Atomic Counter-Espionage) & RPI (Reserve Police-International) entitled “Humanity Has Already One Foot In the Grave – Complete Nuclear Disarmament Is the Only Good Alternative!” and which he placed on his blog “Operation Twins - The Third World War”.
Under the secret of Noordeinde Palace is usually understood, as enshrined in the Constitution, the Ministerial responsibility for the actions of the king. It is summarized on the website of the Royal House under the following title: "Since 1848, the King has been part of the government. According to the Constitution the King is inviolable and the ministers are responsible". This implies that the king should not intervene in political matters, but not that he cannot, for example, comment and give a considered opinion on the veracity of a book, that is after all not a matter of the political sphere of the state, but of cultural life. And this is precisely the content of the second petition to the king as found on internet where it can be signed: "Please confirm that Karate Bob saved your life by giving the Golden Tip". Because it may be perfectly clear to all that if the king, after having made the necessary inquiries, would through the office of the Government Information Service, confirm that it is indeed true what Slobodan Mitric revealed in his evidence-based reality novel "The Golden Tip - The Entanglement of the Upper and Underworld and The Murder of Gerrit Jan Heijn”  published by the Willehalm Press in Dutch in 2008 and in English in 2009, namely that the criminal gang, who in 1987 kidnapped and killed Dutch multi-millionaire Heijn had originally targeted the then crown prince William-Alexander, and that he, Karate Bob, managed to thwart this by passing this Golden Tip in time (in 1986) on to the security services of the Noordeinde Palace, yes, that then Dutch Secretary of State Teeven and the Department of Justice would finally (grudgingly) have to abandon their illegal and inhuman  plans to deport the ailing savior of the occupant of the Dutch throne Karate Bob to his certain death in the former Yugoslavia. Our Majesty could thereby also confirm that it is indeed true (as can be read in Mitric’s Open Letter to the Queen Beatrix in the Appendices of “The Golden Tip”) that he not only owes his life, and therefore that of his Kingship and his children, but also his mother, now Princess Beatrix owes her life to Karate Bob.

Here then a somewhat different version of the secret of Noordeinde Palace is unearthed, which through this second petition our king - after he passed an earlier request for help in this case on to the secretary of state Teeven citing the Ministerial responsibility - is kindly but urgently requested to investigate and, if found to be true, to publicly confirm in the interest of all. We end with a note from Karate Bob himself after he learned that this petition would be submitted soon: "IT IS HIGH TIME - the king and queen can, if they want to, turn wrong into right."
Note: This notice is also available on the Willehalm weblogs

The Virtues – Towards a New Courtesy


Note: Today, April 3, 2013, the international exposition "The Virtues - Towards an New Courtesy" opened in Amsterdam City Hall. Visitors will be welcomed with the text and image below in which, among other things, a public petition to our new King William Alexander is announced to establish a new Willehalm Order of Knights of the Word. People interested in co-signing this petition are cordially invited to do so by sending an email with their name and home town to info@willehalm.nl or by leaving a commentary below 


The Virtues –
Towards a New Courtesy

Introduction and Accountability in View of Willehalm of Orange and the New Kingship

Here in the hall of Empire City Amsterdam – Austrian Emperor Maximillian granted the capital in 1489 the right to bear the Imperial crown on its coat-of-arms with the current motto Valiant, Steadfast and Compassionate added by Queen Wilhelmina in 1946 – it marks the first time that all 12 contemplations from TheVirtues – Seasons of the Soul, a handbook for the modern art of living by the German philosopher/ anthroposophist Herbert Witzenmann, are exhibited (in English and Dutch) together with the 13 illuminations by the Dutch painter Jan de Kok. This international exhibition will be formally opened on April 5 (3-5 PM) with a Vernissage in the company of the painter, and a book presentation of a revised (Dutch) edition of The Virtues (a new English edition will appear at a later date). In his opening address, the publisher Robert J. Kelder will make a historic connection between the theme of the exhibition and the medieval founding father of the House of Orange, the legendary Willehalm (see image). This was a Paladin of Emperor Charlemagne and one of the last protectors of Celtic or esoteric Christianity who, based on his outstanding embodiment of the knightly virtues of courage, justice and loyalty, was declared Patron Saint of the Knights by Pope Alexander II in 1066. On April 30, 2013 the current William of Orange will not only be inaugurated as King of The Netherlands, but also assume his function as the new Grand master of the Military William Order, which is rightly named after the Patron Saint of the Knights. Encouraged by recent results of historical research concerning the hitherto unknown social and spiritual curriculum vitae of his Franconian namesake, a public petition will be offered to our new King William-Alexander with a well-grounded request to establish, as a supplement to the William Order of the Sword, a Willehalm Order of Knights of the Word. This with the noble aim of giving rise to a Movement for a New Courtesy through the embodiment of the 12 Virtues portrayed here as a counterpoise to the ever increasing discourtesy, the “new ruffianship” and worse in our Kingdom and beyond.

The exhibition, which will be open to the public from April 3 to May 10 on weekdays from 7 AM to 6 PM, is a free contribution to the project “Courtesy of Amsterdam” initiated by Municipal executive councilor Andrée van Es in 2011. Its subtitle Towards a New Courtesy is taken from the Virtue of the month September that begins with “The compassion that becomes freedom restores to courtesy its meaning and dignity.” and that ends with “Thus courtesy becomes tact of the heart”.

H.P. Blavatsky and Rudolf Steiner
The 12 meditative texts on display here stem reportedly from Madam Blavatsky, one of the founders of the Theosophical Society, who attributed a Virtue to each month, e.g. May: perseverance. Afterwards Rudolf Steiner, the principal founder of the Anthroposophical Society, set them in motion: Perseverance becomes faithfulness. Subsequently it was Herbert Witzenmann (1905-1988), a personal student of Rudolf Steiner, who explicated the conceptional movement between the thus conjoined Virtues and wrote a magical-idealistic introduction “On the Genesis of the Virtues” as well as an apologetic-philosophical epilogue “Primer for the Adoption of the Virtues”. He also indicated the sources from the spiritual treasures of mankind for the mantras with which each of the 12 Virtues as Spirits of Movement end.

Jan de Kok
Concerning his illuminations for The Virtues, Jan de Kok, who views Maarten Krabbé and Jan Sierhuis as his teachers, wrote the following, “In the portrayal of The Virtues I allowed myself to be led by nature, nature in which often invisible forces are active in connection with the whole cosmos. This I expressed in pure colour power that ultimately flows out in form power. Colour after all precedes form. Those are the forces that make nature grow. In connection with the image and the text from this booklet, it can come to pass that the spiritual world becomes a reality that one undergoes as a meditative experience. The colour experiences in our soul play an important role in each month. By connecting ourselves with that, this can in the here and now take on a succinct form as a conscious awareness of ourselves and nature around us, which can lead us to better understand the whole, the interconnectedness.”

Willehalm Order of Knights
The historical motivation for the petition to establish a Willehalm Chivalric Order of the Word to our new king, who according to Article 75 of our constitution is the only one entrusted with the power to do so, is based on the scholarly, multi-disciplinary research report Howthe Grail Sites Were Found – Wolfram von Eschenbach and the Reality of theGrail by the Swiss anthroposophist Werner Greub that was published by the Willehalm Foundation in 1999. From this, it appears that after his military career as the supreme commander of the Carolingian army in defense of the Spanish mark against the invading Moors, this William with the Horn played a crucial role in the events leading up to the wonderful coronation of Parzival as King of the Grail as well as in its oral tradition through 11 generations to Wolfram von Eschenbach up until the present.

Dream for our Country, Europe and the World
Under the title The Virtues, William of Orange and the New Kingship this will be elaborated on during lectures in City Hall on April 26 and May 3 as a “Dream for our Country, Europe and the World”, inspiration for the reign of our new king and queen.
