Download or read book Grail Family Secrets written by Sir David DePaul and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a journey for the reader to travel as well as to better understand what has been called throughout history, the Holy Grail. The book’s journey begins with the original families that first settled the “Pol” (the Marshlands of Gaul), which starts in the geographical area of France known at that time as Guyenne Province. Later, Guyenne became the Duchy of Aquitaine. These families then migrated across Europe and became the Gnostic Grail Families with direct ancestral ties to the pre-iberian Celtic Tribes, Visagoths, Cathars, Knights Templar, and Knights of Malta. Many of these also had Druidic bloodline ties and married into the early Holy Roman Empire. Later they were the Troubadors whom expounded the ideals of Courtly Love as well as many becoming notable Churchmen and Churchwomen. Many were deliberately sent to the Roman Catholic Seminary to go on to be Priests, Bishops, Cardinals, and quite a lot of them became Popes of the Roman Catholic Church. These Grail Families knew many mysteries and secrets and they left clues about them hidden in a variety of manners such as in Artwork and Architecture. The books author has unlocked many of these that have been entirely missed by both Henry Lincoln, co-author of “Holy Blood, Holy Grail” and Dan Brown, author of “The Da Vinci Code”. Da Vinci did indeed leave more un-noticed symbology in the frescoe, “The Last Supper” which relates directly to the Grail families and the bloodline of Jesus and Mary Magdelene. The patrons of Da Vinci were among these families. Hidden also in the Frescoe is a actual geographical location at which we believe both artifacts, treasure, and bodies, are interred. Thousands of researchers of the Rennes le Chateau enigma have never been able to comprehend exactly what the painting by the artist Pousin known as “The Shepards of Arcadia” really symbolises. Coded parchments found at Rennes le Chateau in the Magdelene Chapel make referance to: “Shepardess, no temptation” which is meant to be a marker at the actual location where the Shepardess resides and it is not in the Languedoc but rather it is in Aquitaine. The Grail familes are the descendants of much earlier races and became the Nobility of Europe. This book will show the migration of our family octopus that has spread its tentacles across Europe and then across to America, the “New World” of our families. Many of the families which the author makes special note of are still around today including the Sforza, Orsini, Visconti, Medici, . Boromeo, and a host of others with Gnostic bloodlines. These are merely just a few mentioned by the author in his revealing of the true Grail families. The author shows exactly whom St. Vincent de Paul really was and the true lineage of the de Paul family which never did die out as many misinformed people have tried to state. The Roman Catholic Church covered up the fact that many “saints” came from the Gnostic bloodlines that were canonised by the church. This will be very apparent as the reader’s “Quest” unfolds as the book enters into areas of the “secretum” nature. St. Vincent de Paul’s Gnostic leanings and the true history of the de Paul bloodline show that St. Vincent de Paul did not come from a peasant family but rather a very old Nobility current. There is strong research uncovered by the author that leads him to believe that the Grail families all knew a secret to which only a bloodline soul vibrating with the correct DNA could figure out. The author has done so and much of the information and material within this book has never been revealed before and it takes the correct “soul” to present this in its proper and truthful manner. There is strong evidence that the body of Mary Magdelene is not where the church or other historians believe it to be. There is also very strong evidence that Jesus the Christ did not really die upon the Cross as church doctrine falsely states. The author believes quite strongly that the bodies of the Magdelene and the Christ are hidden in a crypt or ossuary along with the Merovingian King, Dagobert II. The book reveals that the de Paul, de Lorraine, de Bourbon, de Aragon, de Navarre, de Blanchefort, de Goth, de Hautpoul, de Habsbourg, and many others are actually blood related. Pierre Plantard and Gerald de Sede fabricated their version of the Priory of Sion, but the Priory did actually exist and it exists to see a Merovingian dynasty restored to its sacred bloodright. The true Priory protected the bloodline of Jesus and his wife Mary Magdelene and exists to this day in a modern time. Truth of this is well presented by the author. While the book does discuss certain mysteries of a more esoteric nature, the author has been determined to present a more academic and historical book that is not full of mere Occult mumbo jumble but accurate information and historical research into the true Holy Grail families and the bloodline that later came to be called the Merovingian Vine. The author goes a great deal deeper in his presentation of Heraldic Symbology in relation to the Holy Grail Families. Pau, France, figures prominantly in this book as does Henry IV de Pau de Bourbon de Navarre whom himself lived in a ancestral Chalet still standing today named Chateau de Pau which is also featured in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals the long-forgotten prequel to the Grail mythos and how it has profound resonance with modern times • Includes the complete text of the Grail prequel, The Elucidation of the Grail, a 13th-century poem newly translated by Gareth Knight and Caitlín Matthews • Examines the forgotten story of the Faery Wars and the role of Well Maidens in the Grail story • Discusses the Seven Guardians of the Stories, the Grail Kings and Anti-Grail Kings, the Rich Company, the Courts of Joy, and the otherworldly Land of Women Unveiling the long-forgotten prequel to the Grail quest stories, Caitlín and John Matthews examine The Elucidation of the Grail, a forgotten 13th-century French text, and show how it offers the key to understanding the sevenfold path of the Grail and the deeper stories beneath the Christian Grail narrative. Beginning with a new translation of The Elucidation by foremost esotericist Gareth Knight and Caitlín Matthews, the authors provide a complete commentary on the poem, revealing a startling alternative cause of the Wasteland and the Grail quest, one which has a profound resonance with our own times. They examine the forgotten story of the Faery Wars and explain the Faery Accord, an agreement that once existed between humans and the Faery and upon which the spiritual and physical health of the land depends. The offering of the Grail and its regenerative powers by the Maidens of the Wells--Faery women--was part of this Accord. King Amangons and his men violated the Accord, through their abuse of the Well Maidens and other evil actions, causing the wasting of the land. The Knights of King Arthur seek to avenge the Well Maidens and rebirth the Grail to restore access to the lost paradisiacal “Courts of Joy” held in ancestral memory. On their quest, they encounter the Rich Company whose greed keeps the Knights occupied in long wars of attrition, yet their quest to restore the generous hospitality of the Wells--the true Grail, the Faery Grail--continues. In addition to the Faery Accord and Knights’ quest, the authors examine the Seven Guardians of the Stories, the Rich Fisher, the Courts of Joy and paradise lost, and the otherworldly Land of Women. They show how this lost book of the Grail reveals themes familiar to the modern world and offers hope of healing the rift between the worlds of Faery and human as well as restoration of our natural belonging to the land.

Download or read book Sources of the Grail written by John Matthews and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 1997 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Still stands the destined Knight, aloof in his passionate patience, His hand over his eyes? Is he doomed to fulfil or fail? Shall he dare the hells and the heavens of the strange illuminations, Initiate at last of the dread mysterious Graal? The editor, John Matthews, tells us that, at the beginning of the twelfth century, the poet Crétien de Troyes composed a poem he called Il Conte del Graal ("The Story of the Grail"). It told the story of a search taken up by a simple young man who was brought up away from the ways of ordinary people. His search was for a mysterious object known as the "Graal," but Crétien left the poem unfinished, dying before he could complete it, thus creating a mystery that has stirred the imagination of countless seekers ever since. The Grail may be almost anything--or it may be something that has no form at all or even exist in our world. The important thing is that it provides an object for personal search, for growth and human development. We are dealing here with high things, with a Mystery that is almost too much for us. But we can learn and grow from studying it and by sharing the adventure of the Quest. Sources of the Grail is the most complete anthology of Grail texts available. Organized into three parts, the first deals with the Celtic sources; the second presents the medieval quest; and part three continues the search and represents some of the most far-reaching and deepest contemporary Grail seekers. Anyone interested in Western spiritual traditions will find this a valuable, thought-provoking resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From royal and suppressed archives comes documented proof of the heritage of Jesus in the West and the long awaited discovery of the Holy Grail. In fulfilling this time-honored quest, penetrating new light is cast upon the Grail Code of Service and the venerated feminine element, upheld in chivalry but forsaken by the Church in order to forge a male dominated society. This unique work offers revelatory insight concerning the descendant heirs of Jesus and his brother James while, in documenting a hidden legacy of the Messiah, it unveils hitherto guarded facts about characters such as Mary Magdalene and Joseph of Arimathea. Tracing the sacred lineage through centuries of persecution and Inquisition, Bloodline of the Holy Grail reveals a systematic suppression of authentic records and a strategic manipulation of the New Testament Gospels. Featuring all the charm and adventure of Arthurial romance, coupled with enthralling Rosicrucian and Templar disclosures, this extraordinary work has a cutting edge of intrigue that removes the established blanket of enigma to expose one of the greatest conspiracies ever told.

Download or read book The Mystery of the Grail written by Julius Evola and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-07-13 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important study of the meaning of the Grail, one of Europe's greatest esoteric philosophers discloses the pre-Christian and initiatic sources of this symbolic motif that is so central to Western mythology and culture. He demonstrates how the main features of the legend are from an older tradition analogous to the great heroic sagas and cycles of the North, and that the Grail itself is a symbol of initiation. Evola uncovers the hidden meaning in the often surreal adventures of the knights who searched for the Grail, interpreting them as inner experiences and tests for the seeker. He also explores the history of the myth in the Middle Ages, its use by the Knights Templar and the Cathars, its legacy during the decline of the Holy Roman Empire, and its links with Rosicrucianism, alchemy, and Masonry. This excursion into the realm of the Grail throws new light on an endlessly fascinating subject.

Download or read book Eternal Chalice written by Juliette Wood and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-06-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sacred allure of the Holy Grail has fascinated writers and ensnared knights for over a thousand years. From Malory to Monty Python, the eternal chalice--said to be the very cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper--has the richest associations of any icon in British myth. Many different meanings have been devised for the Grail, which has been linked to the Celts and King Arthur, the eucharistic rites of Eastern Christianity, ancient mystery religions, Jungian archetypes, dualist heresies, Templar treasure and even the alleged descendants of Christ himself and Mary Magdalene. The common thread running through all these stories is the assumption that the Grail legend has a single source with a meaning that--if only we could decode it--is concealed in the romances themselves. That meaning has become the subject of coded, secret documents and is the central feature of a vast conspiracy supposedly stretching back to the dawn of western civilization. Juliette Wood here reveals the elusive and embedded significance of the Grail story in popular consciousness--as myth, medieval romance, tangible holy relic and finally as the centre of an esoteric theory of global conspiracy. The author shows how various interpretations of the Grail, over the centuries, reflect changing cultural needs and desires. Her book will enthral those who, like Sir Perceval, seek to unlock the mysterious secrets of western mythology's most extraordinary and tantalising enigma, and will delight students of history, myth and religion alike.
