Fascinating story, isn't it? Words in German that begin with a Y are extremely rare,
but I could be wrong. I check a dictionary on that.
But not only that! As the article also pointed out, Dellschau had some letters (or
postcards) from one Maria Sprengel. That reminded me of the strange story of the
founding of the Society of the Golden Dawn and the German Rosicrucian initiate who
never was, Anna Sprengel.
