Mary
Magdalene’s tomb in Pyrenees, a place exceptionally well hidden and
searched for in various parts of Europe. The mystery of that place is
keep in strict confidence by those whom opening the tomb of Mary
Magdalene – Christ’s wife, would ruin the whole property, providently
accumulated for the last two thousand years. Many has been searching for
it while it is peacefully situated on a mountain slope from which
Magdalene’s spring comes out of. Is it only an accidental discrepancy
that the Magdalene’s spring comes out of a mountain on which the tomb of
Mary Magdalene is hidden as well?
There
exist only scant information which would indicate this place; four old
signs and a couple of clues left by parsons H. Boudet and B. Sauniere.
Those old signs have been carved in a rock and despite the fact that
they are particularly noticeable (at least one of them) that did not
inform anyone before us. Parsons’ clues also did not appeal to any of
the researchers. They are not keys waiting for someone to open the
doors. Those signs itself and their indications’ purport is transitory,
ambiguous and linked to various myths.
We
also were not led by those signs to the place where the tomb entrance
is hidden but the one on the round rock was meaningful enough for me.
Fot 1. / A star in a circle structured from ffourour letters M.
I had
not doubts when I saw a star in a circle structured from four incircled
letters M. It was not the first such a star, earlier in the Rennes les
Bains region I saw different, altogether I have discovered almost twenty
but only that one possesses this extraordinary purport. I did not
enter the tomb as it is a soil-covered entrance to a Celtic temple which
is indicated by signs carved in rock above the entrance.
The
fact that I only feel was not a sufficient proof. We have also
discovered signs and clues, perhaps all of the indicators which were
left in the form of a message arranged centuries ago. The first sign
aimed at directing us towards the tomb or the star with four letters M.
Its location was not random and the choice of site allow for connecting
it with a completely different issue and thanks to that gained other
meaning.
Fot. 2/ A sign on a stone seat, which was used by priestly class- Druids. It has been made as an ornament and nothing special links it to Mary Magdalene and the place of her eternal rest. It possesses only one detail which is distinguishing in the whole sign image. One of the two diagonal lines forming the “X” symbol on the vertical cross beam is longer and it shows the direction where the star in a circle has been carved.
The
remaining two signs are also carved in this seat. On the front part of a
seat two signs are placed evoking allusions to manuscripts, which the
parson from Rennes le Chateau – B.Sauniere has found during
conservational works more than one hundred years ago. Those manuscripts
are regarded as writings hiding some mysteries linked to the House of
Christ and Magdalene.
Fot. 3/A characteristic triangle, noticeable above the left armchair backrest.
Fot. 4/ A sign carved above the right armchair’s backrest, it is used in the text of both manuscripts as the letter M (Magdalene). In one of the manuscripts this sign together with a triangle constitutes a heading. Such a usage of those two signs in manuscripts and here on the armchair is an unambiguous indication that those signs are linked to Christ and Magdalene. The left armchair’s backrest is compatible with an indicated direction which means that the peculiarly shaped M indicated a place connected with Magdalene.
Fot. 5 / This manuscript has got a heading, which consists of those two signs. Apart from the symptomatic usage of the letter M and a triangle is possesses also characteristic numbering of verses. It is possible that that numeration has got common features with H. Boudet’s cipher.
Fot. 6/ This manuscript in its text has got distinguishing letters M.
Placing
those two signs on a stony seat (nowadays it is called ‘devil’s
armchair’), where the sign indicating the direction to the tomb, is of
great importance. It links the indicated direction with Magdalene
‘telling’; - there where the longer line “X” indicates is something
which is connected with the house of Christ and Magdalene. Those four
modest signs indicate so little but much at the same time. They are
modest and ambiguous enough in relation to various linked myths that
nobody apart from us deciphered their adequate meaning.
Apart from those four signs, there exist also other information which have been presented a hundred years ago by both parsons.
H.
Boudet, a parson of a local parish, devoted several dozen years in
order to leave information which will survive until our times and among
various intricate messages the most crucial ones connected with the
mysterious place in the mountains will remain hidden.
Parson
Boudet left numerous written publications including various mysterious
references. However, nothing specific stems from any of them. He also
left a sign from beyond the grave. Paradoxically, on Magdalene’s tomb he
talks about his own grave. On a tombstone where apart from him also his
brother has been buried , who was also preoccupied with Pyrenees
mysteries, the parson ordered carving distinguishing inscriptions.
Fot. 7/ Noticeable on the stone book (it is how this part of slab is called) a sign of the letter M placed on one side.
Fot. 8/ Inscriptions visible on this tombstone have got one idiosyncratic feature. The inscriptions on the right side are of a different form than those on the left side. Here we have got a direct reference to the manuscript with numbered verses. Inscriptions on the right side, connected with parson H. Boudet are gathered in 14 verses while those on the left side concerning Edward – his brother, in the last arched verse consists of 14 letters. Engraved letters only to some extend correspond to the letter’s shape which ought to be located there. Such a method of inscription’s carving is greatly mysterious and the last verse on the left side is a total cipher. Only two letters in that particular verse are properly shaped, the rest are slant or straight lines which have nothing in common with writing.
Additionally, the arched form of a verse would enforce seeking for some hidden information.
Here a question ought to be stated: what kind of information can we expect in such a mysterious poem?
The
only reasonable explanation of that issue is the relation of number of
signs included. There are 14 of them, the text on the right side of the
tombstone has also got 14 verses and as many mysteriously numbered
verses can be found in the manuscript whose heading is connected with
Magdalene. What is more, the same signs which constitute the
manuscript’s heading accompany on the stone armchair the indicator which
shows where the four M star is situated. Moreover, other element of
tombstone inscriptions also relates to the one with M, by means of
peculiar engraving the letter M, which is leaning on its side, situated
on a stone book.
The
conclusion tells us that those 14 signs from the arched verse bears
some connection with a mountain which is indicated as the one where
Magdalene’s tomb is hidden. Arched form of a verse can bear some
resemblance to semicircular slope on which a series of rocks is
situated.
If
this is exactly the case, it means that those signs tell us about the
existence of two rocks or rock accumulation. It stems from the fact that
two among the 14 signs are engraved one on another or the other way
round; one of the signs is engraved below.
To
sum up, among all of the rocks which rest on the mountain slope two are
of major importance for the location of Magdalene’s tomb. Taking into
consideration that only one of them is denoted with a star consisting
of 4 letters M, the second one has to be situated in immediate surroundings. The question here is, which one?
We have found answer to this question in parsons’ B. Sauniere’s clues.
I
was wondering what Sauniere intended to convey while creating a
collection of figures completely incongruous one with another and
placing them exactly at the entrance to the church. Just as he wanted
other people not to omit his message.
Fot. 9/ Asmodeus – a demon holding a holy water font on his back. In the foreground we can observe his left hand claws which look like in a moment he would dig those claws into the thigh.
He
constructed a collection consisting of a demon which carries a holy
water font on his head. Above him two lizards are situated with
unambiguously exposed initials B.S. Below lizards there is a foliage
with protruding stone pine’s cone. Below, four Angels depicting a cross
which is presented in an idiosyncratic form above their heads.
Fot. 10/ Two lizards and above them a sign with two river’s initials can be noticed.
This
whole bizarre collection possesses also two distinguishing features.
The first one are demon’s claws almost dug into his thigh and elongated
scratches noticeable on this thigh. This feature tells us that we have
to pay attention to some 4 elongated scratches as signs.
Fot. 11 / But the most prominent of all those distinguishing features is the form of cross’ structure. It is an equal-armed cross, which arms are tipped with lilies. This specific feature indicates that it concerns the House of Christ and Magdalene. This, shocking for many viewers, collection of figures is linked with the family matters of Christ’s family. Additionally, a circle is circumcircled on the cross and on each of the four parts of the circle four small balls are placed. The same small balls are to be found near lilies, two near each of the lilies and one in the middle of the cross. Additionally, on the four cross’ beams three incisions can be noticed.
The
first conclusion which could be drawn here is the number 4 which is
predominant. Lilies- 4, four collections of 4 small balls, four times
two pearls in lilies and four collections per 3 incisions. While those
two small balls near lilies stem from the form of symbols presented here
itself, those 3 incisions do not fit into that collection.
Out of those cross’ construction distinguishing features several conclusions can be drawn.
1. The whole collection concerns Magdalene and Christ, lilies are predominant here.
2. A vital indication is the number 4.
3. A circle on the cross, thanks to the number 4 and lilies direct our thoughts toward the star structured from four letters M.
4. The
three incision’s disharmony implies a new facet of the whole issue
connected with Magdalene’s tomb as the above mentioned indications
unambiguously direct us there.
The
four figures of Angels with wings arranged in such a way that they bear
connotation with the letter M. By contrast the inscription at his feet
says; - ‘Thanks to this sign you will defeat it’.
The sign which the inscription describes is the initials B.S and
here, in relation to the indicated tomb, those initials begin to make
sense. If we stand in a place with the circumcircled star’s rock behind
one’s back, then at the bottom of the mountain there are two rivers. The
river on the right is called La Sals and corresponds to the letter S.,
which is situated on the right side of the initial. The river on the
left is called La Blanque and corresponds to the letter B., which is
situated on the right side of the initial. Both rivers join here and
flow in the northern direction through Rennes les Bains.
In
such a context; - ‘Thanks to this sign you will defeat it’ means that
in connection with the tomb between the two rivers, which initials B.S
are included in the sign, somebody will be defeated exactly there. The
issue of that initial formulated in such a way confirms tomb’s
localization between the rivers which names are consistent with the
initials; - B. = Blanque and S. = La Sals.
A
significant question is ; - for whom what is inside Magdalene’s and
perhaps even Christ tomb can be so harmful that this ‘he’ will be
defeated?
What
is still left to account for are the features connected with incisions
on the cross. Apart from them, in this collection of figures are also
other incisions. They appear in various foliage above the lizards and
under demon’s left wing. Such incisions suggest that on the rocks
connected with the tomb, some artificial scratches or grooves exist.
Demon’s claws and visible scratches symbolize various signs placed on the rock below the one with a star inside the circle.
In
such a way, thanks to joint effort, four old signs and parsons’
indications the location of Magdalene’s and possibly also Christ’s tomb
can be precisely specified.
