His reign is characterized by a profound yet eccentric vision, evident in the elaborate castles he commissioned, notably Neuschwanstein. Despite his untimely demise shrouded in mystery, his dreams of aesthetic grandeur remain vivid in the collective memory. His connection to esoteric organizations like the O.T.O. and their philosophical underpinnings invites deeper reflection on the nature of creativity and the oft-thin line between genius and madness. πŸ”—
