Thinking about memories and occultism

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Above of the text is a picture of snowfall. Other pictures are from the Internet, and they represent a building named Juselius Mausoleum in  Pori. Snow covers the landscape like a white blanket. Have you ever think about snow. In many paintings, it symbols a memory, what disappears under white cover, but there is so little what to need when all things arise in people's mind. This symbolism was a key element of Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela works, what he made in Juselius Mausoleum in Pori.

Some painters are made very good paintings about covered cases, and one of the best is series of frescos, what are painted by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, and what is placed in very strange building what rests in the cemetery of Pori. Name of that building is Juselius mausoleum. It was built by the finnish businessman to his daughter Sigrid, who died of tuberculosis in 1898.  

Juselius Mausoleum

Room of that mausoleum rounds series of paintings, what symbols a life of human being. In the beginning of the series is a picture of the young man, who shows his anger, but after that, all will become calm, and the painting where death will take people to another side symbols situation when old people will pass away and young people take a control. The girl in front of painting symbols a child, who ever met her father. She probably has heard, that she had a father, who died before she was born, but she grows as another who didn’t have the father.

Those paintings are placed in the mausoleum of Juselius in the cemetery at Pori. And I will not tell you the stories about those paintings. In the last picture is a dead goose, what have been almost cover by snow, but there is so little to do, when all story comes back to people consequences. But there is one thing, what makes that building very interesting, and that is a long period of that project. There is one key, what might interest many occultists around the world, and that is a ring shaped hole in above of two sarcophagus, where Juselius and his daughter bones are resting.

Inside mausoleum

Some of those people thought, that those people thought, that their souls will be fly across that hole to somewhere in Universe. That story bases in the story, that Juselius was taken a part of some kind of spiritistic movements in the early 20th. Century, those kind of things were quite popular in that time, and if somebody thought that those people’s astral souls will fly across that hole. Somebody else might think that those neo gothic circles believed that the soul of human been is some kind of electricity. And if they tried to return that “electric” habitant in those bodies.

But that would be only theory or rumor. Juselius was a wealthy man, who had lots of enemies. So those enemies might wanted to defame that man by saying that he was a magician or something like that. But those rumors are things what people uses, when they make manuscripts and novels, where ghosts are flying across the land. And creeping yels fills the air, and who knows if Juselius really believed in those things.
