Casanova wrote of St Germain and of Cagliostro in Le soliloque d'un penseur and when he was informed that Cagliostro was in prison at San Leo, he said: St Germain claimed to possess the secret of eternal youth, one of the two traditional goals of alchemy.
Moreover, he was an early astronaut: I saw globes revolve around me and earths gravitate at my feet. Its first written version was printed in Bologna in Once he claimed that he had met Queen of Sheba and Cleopatra. Eventually she become interested in his "elixir of life" and started to use it, assuring the King, that she felt she would grow no older.
St Germain's diplomatic blunders in the peace negotiation between France and England led him into conflict with the powerful Duc de Choiseul. After escaping to England, he lived in the Netherlands, and possibly in Russia, where Catherine the Great had seized the power.
In some point his paths must have crossed with his countryman, Charles d'Eon de Beaumont, a diplomat, writer, spy, and Freemason, but there is no evidence of joint adventures. D'Eon is often called the patron saint of transvestites. St Germain was seen in France again in When the minister von Wurmb met St Germain in May in Lepzig, he estimated that the Count was between 60 and 70 years old.
At that time, he had spent most of his fortune, sold his precious diamonds, and he suffered from rheumatism. The Mayor and Council of the town stated that nothing had been ascertained as to the existence of a will. His creditors were called upon to come forward, "with their claim". Possibly Count Karl took into his possession all of the comte's papers. The original manuscript of St Germain's Trinosophia , a work on cabalistic, hermetic, and alchemical mysteries, is in the Bibliotheque de Troyes. However, the work was a forgery, written by one Lamothe-Langon, whose specialty was to produce forged memoirs.
Baron de Gleichen tells in Souvenirs de Charles Henri, baron de Gleichen , that according to his acquaintances, St Germain had in the appearance of a man of fifty years old.
De Gleichen's information is just hearsay. St Germain tells her a secret of the cards, which helps her to retrieve her loss completely.
She keeps the secret. Decades later a young man becomes obsessed with it, and causes her death.
Eventually she returns as a ghost and gets her revenge. The young man loses his reason. Pushkin never met the enigmatic Count, but he knew his legend well and brought another angle to it: St Germain can tell the future.
Das konnten sie nicht begreifen, dass der Kram nur Sinn hat, wenn man damit geboren wird. The American writer Chelsea Quinn Yarbro has written a number of novels, where the Count is the protagonist. Saint-Germain's knowledge of diamonds, precious stones, and chemistry impressed his contemporaries; his dyeing skills were widely acknowledged. Graf Karl Cobenzl wrote in a letter in , that he saw how St Germain made some experiments, "of which the most important were the transmutation of iron into a metal as beautiful as gold".
The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung has argued that alchemy also corresponds to psychology.
Deliberate mystification can be pure bluff to exploit the credulous or projection of unresolved inner tensions. St Germain was secretive about his past, he had several identities, and in his occult studies, he perhaps indirectly searched the truth of himself. Choose another writer in this calendar: Germain, about whom so many marvelous stories are told.
You know that he represented himself as the Wandering Jew, as the discoverer of the elixir of life, of the philosopher's stone, and so forth. Some laughed at him as a charlatan; but Casanova, in his memoirs, says that he was a spy.
But be that as it may, St. Germain, in spite of the mystery surrounding him, was a very fascinating person, and was much sought after in the best circles of society. Even to this day my grandmother retains an affectionate recollection of him, and becomes quite angry if anyone speaks disrespectfully of him. Keane Little is known of Count Saint-Germain's birth.
