Sangrael: A Royal Bloodline

[Don Barone]

Hi All:

Over at Ma'at there is a discussion going on which for all intents and purposes is vilifying Lawrence Gardner. For those unaware of Mr. Gardner's views on things he has written three books now. The first "Bloodline of The Holy Grail" describes the lineage from Jesus to the present rulers of Europe. Now many have scoffed at this and claim that this bloodline is impossible. So what I did is try to trace the bloodline of the kings of Europe to see for myself if there was any truth to the saying "born to rule". It was an attempt on my part to try to trace "power". What I found was extraordinary and I will post the result here over the next couple of days. I was meaning to do a webpage on it but this seems like as good a place as any to post the results of my research. Granted I am at the mercy of those who have done the legwork for me but it is very interesting if nothing else.

Cheers

There is this age-old notion that we choose our parents according to what we need to learn and experience in a given life-time, and align our relationships, the latter also with people we meet.

There is a hierarchy to every system, so I would say "born to rule" is a rule of order of association of advanced factions, and according to former development, a sort of birds of a feather flock together.

Looking forward to the posts

Hi all: [et tu Charlotte]

For many of us [at least on this side of the pond] our initial history lessons of Europe begin with William The Conqueror around 1042 AD and are strangely silent on all that had gone on before this it being explained to us that this was The Dark Ages and no inforamtion came down to us. Lawrence Gardner has this to say on that aspect of this:

"It is because of this continuing period of Grail sovereignty in the Celtic realms that conventional history now refers to the "Dark Ages" - about which, we are told, there is so little documentary record. There is, however, any amount of surviving material from the era. The period is only "dark" because the Church and the imperial overlords decided to veil it from scrutiny, removing documentary evidence from the educational environment in order to perpetuate the myth that everyone and everything outside the Roman establishment was ignorant and barbaric.>

I will give you the link to his article at the end of this post.

I decided as an experiment to see first if I could trace the bloodline of The Merovignians and then I decided to trace the lineage of some of the earlier kings of England and it was very interesting. The first thing I noted was that Alfred The Great was directly related to the earlier Viking Kings. I found that very interesting. So the great Viking lords and those early kings of England were "blood brothers". Very interesting I said. I then pursued the Viking bloodline whose history and past has been shrouded in myth and managed to trace it back to Rome and The Middle east and then tracing it further back managed to trace it back to the Golden Age of Greece itself. From here I continued back and found to my utter amazement that it led back to a priest of Heliopolis.

How far back did it actually go ? Well I have to have something to write in my next post.

I will try to dig up the charts and websites I used [and there was more than one, although they may have all simply copied from the same source so I can not swear that what they posted was correct]

Meanwhile if you want to read a very interesting article please go here. How many of us have often wondered if there was a grain of truth in all the fairytales of our youth. Sleeping Beauty, Frog Princes and beautiful swans and the like. I know I have. And why were they really such dark tales ? I think Mr. Gardner may have finally told us. Plese go here to read it:

It is an amazing article.

Hi Don, and good morning or evening to anyone who might be present.

As you might guess, reading the article made my day.

In the time of the Renaissance, brought about by Marsilio Fecino's translations of Plato's works and the Corpus Hermeticum, and nothing else says I , Plethon and Cosmo talked about Jesus being of the line of Zoroaster, the fire philosopher.

The name St. Germain came up, much to talk about here. For now I just want to say that the very first time I was in Egypt, riding in a taxi through the streets of Cairo, looking at the buildings moving by, I did a double take, there, on the side of one building, in very large, polished brass letters was St. Germain in script. Of course I was going to check into this.

There is mention of Richard Wagner, Adrian Wagner to play a role in "Lord of the Ring." Wagner is good, I have stories about this of my native Bavaria. It is all very wonderful how the Grail Legend is coming to the fore, has too because we are before a quantum leap in consciousness.

King Solomon is mentioned. "The Songs of Solomon are an allegory" says the Rabbi. The pedestrian interpretation of our historians is coming to an end, thanks the gods.

"In Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', the Queen of the Fairies is Titana, whose name represents the pre-Olympian god-race of the Titans. In particular she is the Moon Goddess Diana. (The British Monarchy will never be the same since Diana shot an arrow into Buckingham Palace) Their King Oberon, however, had an historical base, being inspired by an ancestor of Shakespeare's colleague Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. He was a founding member of Elisabeth Tudor's 16th century Court Poetry and Magic Syndicate- along with Francis Bacon, John Dee, Edmund Spencer and others of the Rosicrucian 'underground stream' who aided and guided much of Shakespeare's work."

More of this I can carefully weave into "Charlotte's Web." I am glad we can sort of hide out here and talk about these things.

Humanity is aquiring the Blue Crown of Transformation.

Hi Charlotte et al ...

Carrying on with the thoughts I posted to you in the email this morning [by the way Wifey has named it:

"(cha)radar" She can be clever when she wants to be ]

I went in search of Christenson and found this image. The resemblance to the mason apron and the various other "occult" paintings of Rennes le Chateau are simply mind blowing. It is once again interesting that I sensed this from seeing his paintings on puzzle boxes when I worked for Dufferin Games Room. Everything is always to a purpose. Even where we work and what we do. All leading us ever closer.

Here is the image entitled appropriately enough ... "All The Worlds a Stage." Geez life can be exhilirating at times ...

Cheers

Yes to exhilaration and acceleration, and with it the universe is expanding, that is to say, with each realization we have the universe resedes accordingly, coaxing us ever along as it were. If you think about it, it would be catastrophic if we could "grab" it.

I just read the second part of the article by Sir Gardner, and reading between the lines, it seems to me that the gentlemen stands yet on a deeper level.

I agree with his view on language, and also on Dracula, having made my own interpretaion on the "impaler", but still have problems understanding, therefore not believing, rather, accepting the the story of Jesus and Maria Magdalena, and their descendants. I feel something is amiss here.

Mentioned are anti-gravitational sound frequencies, stone lifting and such, reminding one of the builder of the Coral Castle, who insisted he had found out the secrets of the ancient Egyptians . . .

The pineal gland "responsible for higthened states of awareness and perception", used to be, according to occult anatomy, the One eye in a former race living in the fiery-misty atmosphere, (connected with Wagner's Niebelungen Ring) but when the atmosphere became cooler and denser man developed the physical eyes we have now, the pineal gland withdrew into the brain and atrophied. Descartes said that the mind is an extraordinary entity expressed through the pineal gland, upsetting modern scientist who insist he knew nought of such things.

When the Great Pyramid in Egypt is seen as the temple which is the body human, it is said that the pineal gland is the Kings Chamber, and the pituitary gland the Queens Chamber, the Grand Gallery connecting them . . .

"The action of 'The Chemical Wedding' takes place in the magical Castle of the Bride and Bridegroom--a Palace filled with Lion effegies, where the courtiers are students of Plato."

In contrast to our historians who have "Plato trying to guess his way to the truth" by conversations and dialogs with other in the olive groves outside of Athens.

"Edward de Vere of Oxford was a friend and student of the Rosicrucian alchemist and Secret Operative John Dee, and he worked closely with the statesman and philosopher Francis Bacon (later Viscount of St. Albans). Between them (along with others) the comprised the Royal Court Syndicate which was responsible for providing much of the material for the works of their playwright colleague, William Shakespeare."

I cannot rest my case here altoghether.

Thank you for the blue crown Don, and the marvelous painting.

The Buddhist have a term, to wit, "crazy wisdom", and it has been said that the world will be changed by the crazy and fools, and "the still small voice of an inner prophet."

Sincerely - Charlotte

Hi Charlotte ...

Yes when I read it I too sensed that he has gone where few have travelled before. I caught both references to Bacon and Shakespeare and knew they would not get by you. The painting is indeed marvellous and I will try to find a larger image so we can figure out who is who. However it is very interesting that he appears to have placed Shakespeare or is it Bacon at the centre. They are all there it would appear. Even Cleo who you seem to know so well. Compare this painting to the one Nebankh posted a while back and which is on one of my sites. It is indeed all there and getting ever closer to the surface.

As to the universe expanding along with our knowledge I have often thought of this and have imagined the world of old may indeed have just been what they told us it was and perhaps in those days you may have actually fallen off the edge.

Now following those thoughts then Atlantis may have been allegorical for a place beyond the borders of this world of theirs. Maybe a world of PURE THOUGHT !

Perhaps ...

Hi all

Basically, all I know of the Holy Bloodline theory of the Holy Grail comes from a brilliant documentary written and presented by Henry Lincoln. (It has been shown on Discovery over here (UK) under the title of Secret of the Templars and is available to buy on VHS with the title of The Secret.

I am told he agrees with Gardiner's work, although I haven't read any of Gardiner's books on the subject.

Anyway, Lincoln argues that the Holy Grail (San Graal) is really the Royal Blood (Sang Real) and that Mary Magdalene escaped from Judaea carrying Jesus' child to southern France, where a large Jewish community already existed.

Over time the bloodline of Christ became the Merovingian kings culminating in Dagobert II.

He explains how the Knights Templar discovered the secret and set about to preserve it along with the Priory of Sion. The Templars were destroyed by Philip the Fair (!!), but the Priory remained undiscovered and the secret (and legendary treasure) was kept.

Much is also made of what Sauniere may or may not have discovered at Rennes and the paintings of Tenier and/or Poussin (I forget which we have seen..lol).

Anyway, I highly recommend it...

The fictional book, The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, also covers this ground, but in an adventurous and highly entertaining format.

[St Roch the Birthmark]

"Born at Montpellier towards 1295; died 1327. His father was governor of that city. At his birth St. Roch is said to have been found miraculously marked on the breast with a red cross. Deprived of his parents when about twenty years old, he distributed his fortune among the poor, handed over to his uncle the government of Montpellier, and in the disguise of a mendicant pilgrim, set out for Italy, but stopped at Aquapendente, which was stricken by the plague, and devoted himself to the plague-stricken, curing them with the sign of the cross. He next visited Cesena and other neighbouring cities and then Rome. Everywhere the terrible scourge disappeared before his miraculous power. He visited Mantua, Modena, Parma, and other cities with the same results. At Piacenza, he himself was stricken with the plague. He withdrew to a hut in the neighbouring forest, where his wants were supplied by a gentleman named Gothard, who by a miracle learned the place of his retreat. After his recovery Roch returned to France. Arriving at Montpellier and refusing to disclose his identity, he was taken for a spy in the disguise of a pilgrim, and cast into prison by order of the governor, -- his own uncle, some writers say, -- where five years later he died. The miraculous cross on his breast as well as a document found in his possession now served for his identification. He was accordingly given a public funeral, and numerous miracles attested his sanctity."

I found it interesting that Church believes that one of thier saints, similar to Christ in his ability to heal, was born with a red cross birthmark. This, according to myth, is a distinguishing feature the Merovingian Kings whose lineage goes back to Ancient Greece.

Hi Starseal and all, Interesting posts! I see you've been following some of the grid studies over at the Hancock site.

There's no real tight details about the cross in what I have read, the original red cross birthmark was mentioned in relation to the Merovingian bloodline in Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Baigent Lincoln and Leigh.

Here's the blurb on the 'magical Kings' hailing from ancient Greece by Baigent, Lincoln and Leigh in point form.

---

"The Merovingians ruled parts of France and Germany between the 5th and 7th centuries.

The period of their ascendancy coincides with the period of King Arthur and the Holy Grail, which is also know as the Dark Ages.

The Roman Catholic Church is primarily responsible for the suppression of historical documents from this period.

LEGEND AND THE MEROVINGIANS
There is no historical evidence of disruption or violence accounting for how the Merovingian dynasty ascended to pre-eminent rule.

The name Merovee (can also be Merovech or Meroveus) echoes the French word for 'mother' as well as both the French and Latin words for 'sea'.

Merovee was deemed a semi supernatural figure, reputed to be born of two fathers.

Merovee's father was King Clodio.

When his mother was already pregnant she was said to have been impregnated a second time (by rape or seduction) by a 'Beast of Neptune', similar to a Quinataur - "bestia Neptuni Quinatori similis".

If viewed purely as allegory, this might indicate an intermarriage, a mingling of pedigree either transmitted by the mother or from dynastic lines from 'beyond the sea'.

According to tradition all Merovingian monarchs were occult adepts, initiates in arcane sciences and practitioners of esoteric arts.

They were often called 'sorcerer kings' or 'thaumaturge kings'.

By virtue of some miraculous property in their blood they could heal by the laying on of hands.

The tassels at the fringe of their robes were deemed to possess miraculous curative powers. (Think about Saunierre's funeral rites! - Steve)

They were said to be capable of telepathy with beasts and the natural world.

They wore powerful, magical necklaces.

They were said to possess an arcane spell, which protected them and granted them longevity.

They all bore a distinctive birthmark either over the heart or between the shoulder blades in the form of a red cross.

They were called the Long Haired Kings.

Their hair was reported to contain their 'power' (echoes of Samson)

When Childeric III was deposed (AD 754) the Pope ordered his hair shorn.

They were regarded as living embodiments of the Divine.

Merovingian skulls have been found with a hole in the crown, similar to those found in early Tibetan Buddhist High Priests.

In 1653 the tomb of King Childeric I (son of Merovee, father of Clovis) was found to contain a severed horse's head, a gold bull's head, a crystal ball and approximately 300 solid gold bees.

The solid gold bees were used to decorate Napoleon's coronation robes.

Napoleon's investigation into the bloodline of the Merovingians resulted in these genealogies being recorded in the 'Prieure' documents.

THE BEAR FROM ARCADIA

The Merovingians claimed direct descent from Noah and Ancient Troy. (Note: this was, as I have just learned from Yates, of major importance during the Elizabethian age under the court influence of the Magus John Dee. The royal family was apparently highly concerned with thier bloodline going to back to MERlin and Troy. See Frances Yates - Occult Philosophy in the Elizabthan Age)

Investigations have traced the Merovingians to Arcadia, Greece. (Poussin/Sanazzaro?)

According to Homer, a substantial contingent of Merovingians were present at the fall of Troy.

Early Greek histories claim Troy was settled by Arcadians.

Arcadia, which derives from 'Arkades', means 'People of the Bear'.

The Ancient Arcadians claimed descent from 'Arkas', son of Callisto, better known as the constellation Ursa Major - The Great Bear.

The bear was worshipped in the form of 'Artemis'.

Artemis' Gallic equivalent is 'Arduina', patron goddess of the Ardennes.

Luneville, Stenay and Orval were centres of the cult.

As late as 1304, the Roman Catholic Church was still forbidding worship of the 'heathen' goddess.

The Welsh word for bear is 'arth', from where the name Arthur is derived.

Now here is an interesting discovery, I posted this at the Hancock forum. From the British Museum, a collection of Merovingian treasures.

(big URL)

www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/compass/ixbin/hixclient.exe_IXDB_=compass&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&_IXSPFX_=graphical/full/&$ with all_unique_id_index is $=ENC5046&submit-button=summary

From the collection of Sutton Hoo Treasures at the British Museum:

"The Sutton Hoo ship-burial was excavated in the spring and summer of 1939, just before the outbreak of the Second World War. Its remarkable finds signalled a radical change in attitude towards early Anglo-Saxon society, which, until then had been thought substantially inferior to life during the Roman occupation. The settlement period of early Anglo-Saxon England was regarded as the Dark Ages, a concept that is only now beginning to lose its grip on the academic mind.
Deeply buried beneath a large mound lay the ghost of a thirty metre long oak ship. At its centre was a ruined burial chamber the size of a small room, built with a pitched roof and hung with textiles. In it a dead man lay surrounded by his possessions. He was buried with his weapons, his armour, wealth in the form of gold coins and gold and garnet fittings, silver vessels and silver-mounted drinking horns and cups, symbols of power and authority, and clothes, piled in heaps, ranging from fine linen overshirts to shaggy woollen cloaks and caps trimmed with fur. The burial also contained a leather purse with a jewelled lid and this contained a carefully selected group of thirty-seven Merovingian gold tremisses, three coin sized blanks and two billets (ingots). While the finds from this burial reflect the status of the dead man, they are also a reminder of the master craftsmen, including swordsmiths and goldsmiths, who made these remarkable objects."

The site for the Sutton Hoo Society excavating the site:

www.suttonhoo.org

I was looking at some of the Sutton Hoo treasures and I noticed that the design in this belt buckle had striking resemblance to the cauduce of Hermes. The Merovingian kings were traced to Greece and it looks like the Hermetic influence followed in thier design.
