	Spear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A spear is a primitive weapon used for hunting and war, consisting of a shaft, usually of wood, with a sharpened head.
		Spears were arguably one of the most common personal weapons from the late Bronze Age until the advent of firearms.
		Sir James George Frazer in The Golden Bough noted the phallic nature of the spear and suggested the spear as a lance in the Arthurian Legends, paired with the Grail (as a symbol of female fertility), functioned symbolically as a symbol of male fertility.

	Spear of Destiny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spear of Destiny (also known as the Holy Lance, Holy Spear, Lance of Longinus, or Spear of Longinus) is claimed to be the spear that pierced the side of Jesus when he was on the cross (John 19:31-37).
		The earliest reports of that Spear were circa A.D., described as having been on display in the basilica of Mount Zion in Jerusalem adjacent to the Crown of Thorns.
		Their retelling of the Spear myth stretches from its purported creation in 3061 B.C. by Tubal-Cain, seventh generation grandson of Adam (the Spear was forged from a meteorite at the same time that he made the sword Excalibur), to Admiral Byrd’s battle (Operation Highjump) in the Antarctic against Nazis in their underground fortress in Neuschwabenland.

	Regia Anglorum - Arms and Armour of the Anglo-Saxon and Viking Age - Spear
		The spear was, without doubt, the commonest weapon of this period and its almost universal use within all ranks and cultures testifies to its effectiveness.
		The spear was retained for as long as possible in a battle and it is probably for this reason that the armoured fighting glove was apparently considered a waste of time, if it was considered at all.
		Spears were generally used in an over arm technique, (this can be seen in period manuscripts), which meant the prime targets were the face (particularly the eyes, the weakest part of the skull, the throat and upper chest; there being little sense in embedding the blade too permanently in your opponents shield.

		Hitler’s fascination with the Spear was pivotal in sparking his interest in the occult, which gave birth to his ideas on the origins and purpose of the Germanic race and contributed to his belief in his own destiny as a world conqueror.
