‘To that Son of the Sacred Race

who for Honour and Faith and

Love shall take the hand of a

pure virgin of his own holy blood

and with her pass fearless through

the Gate of Death into the shadows

which lie beyond shall be given the

glory of casting out the Oppressor

and raising the Rainbow Banner

once more above the Golden Throne

of the Incas. On that Throne he

shall sit and wield power and mete

out justice and mercy to the Children

of the Sun when the gloom

that is falling upon the Land of

the Four Regions shall have passed

away in the dawn of a brighter age.‘

—THE PROPHECY CONTAINED

IN THE ANCIENT LEGEND

OF VILCAROYA-INCA AND

GOLDEN STAR, HIS SISTER-BRIDE.
