When Luftwaffe pilot Hermann Kaestner falls in love with a French clairvoyant, who will he be forced to betray - his country, his lover, or his own soul?
The world has now forgotten the Druidess of Brocéliande, but at the height of her fame she was predicting the fate of nations and the outcome of the war to thousands seated in the Salle Pleyel in Paris. In the streets outside, the French police were rounding up Jews while German officers were entertained in brothels and slept in the city’s best hotels.
Based on the lives of Geneviève Zaepffel and Abbé Henri Gillard, creator of a church dedicated to the Holy Grail.

The Prophecies A Story of Obsession Love and Betrayal edition by Philip CarrGomm Romance eBooks
I was deeply enchanted in the story from page one. I wondered, is this a story of the author's personal journey or is it fictional? That question followed me all through the reading of the book. It is obvious that Philip lived the story himself while writing it, which all good authors do. The places were alive in his beautiful words, the atmosphere illusive and other -worldly, which I love. I have looked up all the places on google and they all exist, which makes me want to go there and feel the energy of outer and inner landscapes that he so sensually describes.I became each of the characters...... and their emotions. We all have our inner conflicts and feelings and intuitions, and Philip helps the reader be honest with the experience of the main character, Hermann as if he is ourselves and our own inner betrayals, sacred understandings, inner dialogues and conflicts.
I really appreciate the occult wisdom this novel gives me. I recognize the wisdom and ancient on going truths that thread through his words to remind me of my own importance of inner honesty and intuition of the soul.
This novel would make an incredible film, I hope it is discovered by the likes of Stephen Spielberg for that very purpose.
Treat yourselves...... read this amazing book.

The Prophecies A Story of Obsession Love and Betrayal edition by Philip CarrGomm Romance eBooks Reviews
Normally a book about WWII would not be my first choice, not even one that focusses on the spiritual side of the war. However, having read almost everything written by Carr-Gomm, I couldn't wait to get started on his first fictional novel.
I love how the book starts and finishes with the authors own reflections, guiding the way into the main story. We're introduced to Hermann Kaestner, a German pilot who falls in love with a married woman, Geneviève Zaepffel - the Druidess of Brocéliande and Abbé Henri Gillard, creator of a church dedicated to the Holy Grail. Hermann is send to France to spy on Geneviève's prophecies for the SS, does she see Germany as the victor?
What fascinated me most is my sympathy for Hermann. He's a fighter pilot for what most would consider, the wrong side, aund is in the employment of the most horrible people, notably Himmler himself. However, Carr Gomm manages to make his main character likable and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him along the way.
Geneviève is a strange woman. I couldn't really connect to her. The book gives you a lot of information on what kind of person she was and the way her mind worked, but I always felt like an outsider looking in on her. I'm not sure this was a deliberate choice by the author or a reflection of my own preferences. Maybe it's because Hermann doesn't really get close to her, either. The one graphic sex scene didn't bother me at all. If you think The Prophecies is a book full of hot, steamy sex, I recommend you turn to the likes of Fifty Shades of Grey.
Henri Gillard, for me, was almost the opposite. I gravitated towards him and his character jumped from the pages. His friendship with Hermann felt so real, so genuine, it is hard to imagine it never existed.
Carr Gomm has created a fascinating glimpse into the life of a woman who's prophecies may or may not have had an impact on World War II. They certainly had an impact on the people closest to her. The scenery is described beautifully and with an eye for detail, not unlike the style of Umberto Eco. The Prophecies is a mixture of fact and fiction. Its power lies in the blending of those two.
I am, however, curious to see what Carr Gomm would do without the safety blanket of historical facts. Perhaps his future holds another novel. A shame we cannot ask Geneviève Zaepffel. I'm certain I'll read his next one as well, though.
I was totally transported into the past with this novel. I read it in one go, it was that captivating.
My first Carr-Gomm book and I really enjoyed it. I've ordered a few of his Druidry books which I'm looking forward to.
This is a real move away from Philip's usual style of writing, but I loved the mix of truth and fiction. This was further added to be the photos and the knowledge that places described were real; Made me want to visit. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
A wonderful story with real depth and insight into our complex human nature. Reading this book takes one on a journey to another time when so much was at stake. What makes it so unique is the spiritual perspectives and insights. And the characters are as real as they get. It is hard to write a good novel and even harder to end one well. Carr-Gomm does both very well.
This is a book of complex honesty, a carefully crafted reminder that both heaven and hell exist. Prophesies is the tale of three people who live out their dreams (or obsessions) and then must deal with the consequences. Their dreams are of love, and spiritual exploration. The story itself is almost mythological in its power to challenge and confuse us. Set in the simmering cauldron of World War II, yet in the idyllic Bretagne of Arthur and Merlin, it is a jewel of a book, which will haunt you, and like all good stories of deep intent force you to see the world in new dimensions.
