Vril is the power source of a subterranean race of beings. The uses of Vril amongst the Vril-ya vary from an agent of destruction to a healing substance.
The Vril-ya are a race of beings described in the novel titled "Power of the Coming Race". The book was originally published anonymously but was known to be written by
Edward Bulwer-Lytton. (1871)
Lytton describes Vril-ya as a subterranean race of
super beings sometimes
said to resemble angels. The women of this race are known to be larger in
size and more powerful than their smaller in stature
male counterparts. Therefore the females are both mentally and physically the dominant sex. Vril-ya are descendants of an antediluvian civilization who live in networks of subterranean caverns linked by tunnels.
Many early readers and some theosophists believed Vril and the Vril-ya beings are real and the description provided in his writings is accurate. Since 1960 there has been a conspiracy theory about a Vril
Society.
Further research of Vril will also lead you to
Maria Orsic (also known as
Maria Orchitsch) a famous medium who became the leader of the Vril Gelleschaft.
A technological
Utopia, the Vril-ya have
chief among their tools the "all permeating fluid" called Vril, giving them access to an extraordinary
force that can be controlled at will.
