The exhibition "Antron - Divinity Etruscan between the underworld and ecstasy" is a project sponsored by the German-Italian City of Siena, with the support of Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena.

It is sponsored by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, under the auspices of Hans-Dietrich Genscher, former German Minister for Foreign Affairs and under the auspices of the old German-Italian Villa Vigoni.

The exhibition supports the candidacy of Siena Capital of Culture 2019.

Antron is a pictorial journey into the landscape of Etruria by the German artist Michael Franke. In a way backwards towards the cultural origins of Europe, Franke stops his gaze to the archaeological Etruscan world shrouded in mystery, a mystery that explores through the power of images and reveals the heart and soul with a series of large paintings - between abstraction and figuration - whose subjects symbolically reflect the essence of Mother Earth.

The Etruscan civilization becomes the archetype and paradigm of a new and renewed alliance between man and nature. The cycle of 77 works created specifically for this exhibition, spread in the spaces ideally underground of Salt warehouses and creates a resonance between idea and artistic genius loci: an initiatory path that symbolizes the passage from the underground, from the darkness and the underworld, towards landscapes of light imbued with ecstatic joy.

It was long believed that the journey to Compostela "was born" (or was "invented") in the 9th century, when the Christian world had the revelation of the tomb of Saint James, discovered there on the Cantabrian coast, south of the Spain. But then...

Why, thanks to many architectural and written landmarks, does it appear that this road constituted an initiatory path from the dawn of history? Men walked towards these distant shores in search of messages left by “Atlantean” navigators. ..

Why does the brotherhood of builders known as the “Children of Master Jacques” – its companion drawings are still visible at each stage – invoke not the Apostle but a Master Jacques, a stone worker who participated in the construction of the temple of Solomon, 900 years before Jesus Christ?

Finally, why these “correspondences” discovered by Louis Charpentier between the route of the road and the position of the stars?

Compostela is lost and finds itself in the double night of time and sky…

www.babelio.com/livres/Charpentier-Les-Jacques-et-le-Myst...

"Saint James was taken off on the 8th of the calends of April **, the day of the Annunciation of the Lord; his body was transported to Compostela, on the 8th of the calends of August **** Or, according to another version, had him beheaded without asking Herod for permission.

James was buried on the 3rd of the calends of January *, because the construction of his tomb lasted from August to January. The Church established that his feast would be universally celebrated on the 8th of the calends of August, which is a more suitable time. Now, after Saint James had been taken off, as reported by John Beleth, who carefully wrote the history of this translation, his disciples took his body during the night for fear of the Jews, put it on a ship; and leaving the care of his burial to divine Providence, they boarded this rudderless ship; under the guidance of the angel of God, they arrived in Galicia, in the kingdom of Louve. There was then in Spain a queen who really bore this name and who deserved it. The disciples unloaded the body, and placed it on an enormous stone, which, melting like wax under the body, was wonderfully shaped into a sarcophagus."****

The second paragraph of The Protoevangelium Of Saint James sets forth an extremely important principle which we as seekers for higher consciousness must take exceedingly seriously, although in modern times it is looked upon as abject superstition. The principle is quite simple: physical objects can be infused with negative or positive energies which will then be conveyed to wherever they are kept or to whoever touches or wears them. Those who regard this idea as superstition are themselves still living in the Middle Ages of Europe when it was believed that matter was solid, that wood was wood and stone was stoneand nothing more. In modern times we know quite well that everything is vibrating energy, that the only difference between wood and stone is the arrangement of the basic energy components or the pattern, in the sense of the arrangement of the energies or atomic particles. The enlightened have known this for time beyond calculation although the scientists have only recently come to realize it. Also, the substance of an object is much less than the amount of space within it.

Esotericists know that an object can be overlaid or infused with other energy patterns. That is, subtler energy fields can be introduced into the basic energy field of an object. These subtler energy fields will irradiate the space around it and may even be absorbed by other objectsincluding living beingsthat come near or touch them. Sometimes these energy implants are exhausted by absorption into other objects or into the space around them, or they may continually flow a seemingly inexhaustible current of the infused energies.

Saint Anna was aware that the infusion of energies can be accomplished at will by those who know how. This does, indeed, fall into the category of magic, if we consider magic as the ability to produce change by an act of will that is usually manifested through some type of ritual action or intense mental declaration. In this way it is truly possible to put a curse on an object so that whoever comes in contact with it will be affected by its destructive energies. We must not over-romanticize this idea and only think of such destructive infusion being done by malevolent magicians in elaborate regalia like the witch in Disneys Snow White. Objects can be infused with negative energies in other ways.

When we read in the Bible that sometimes the Israelites would destroy the possessions and cattle of those they conquered,7 we are shocked. But they did so because the group vibration of those people was so corrupted that anything they owned was magnetized with evil energies. This would extend to animals, as well. We are all familiar with the way pets become like their owners. Many of those nations that surrounded Israel had worshipped evil entities for generations, and the effect had entered into their psychic levels as a kind of evil psychic gene. They in turn polluted everything they owned. When Israel conquered an area they were not to eat any fruit from the treeseven newly-planted onesfor four years.8 So evil were the previous inhabitants, they had even perverted the vibrations of the earth in which the tress were growing. This may seem extreme, but only to those who have not applied themselves to observation of such phenomena.

Jewelry is often a conveyer of unwholesome energies. The legends of diamonds carrying a curse can be believed. Food, too, carries the vibrations of whoever prepares or serves it, which is why we must be careful to bless everything we eat. And we can see from all this how careful we have to be regarding anything in our environment.

Saint Anna told her maid: I fear that some wicked person has given it to you and you have come to make me a sharer in your sin. To state it bluntly, Saint Anna thought that her maid had perhaps prostituted herself and the headband was her payment. Having come to the maid because of a negative action, the object would vibrate with negative energies. Even those who do not believe in these things often use the term dirty money without understanding it. Money is especially potent, for it is the manifestation of concentrated life energies. Money from an evil source or gotten by evil action will enter into the life of those who receive it like poison into a bloodstream. The entire life of the recipient will become infected by it.

****"The disciples came and said to She-wolf, "The Lord Jesus Christ has sent you the body of his disciple, so that you may receive dead him whom you did not wish to receive alive. They then told her the miracle by which he had landed in her country without a rudder, and asked her for a suitable place for his burial. When the queen heard this, again according to John Beleth, she deceitfully sent them to a very cruel man or, according to other writers, to the King of Spain, in order to obtain his consent; but the king put them in prison. But while he was at table, the angel of the Lord opened the prison and let them go free. When the king heard about this, he hurriedly sent soldiers to seize them. A bridge over which the soldiers were passing collapsed and they were all thrown into the river. On hearing this, the king, who regretted what he had done and feared for himself and his people, sent the disciples to beg them to return to him, and allowed them to ask him for anything they wanted. So they returned and converted all the people of the city to the faith. When the disciples came to her to present the king's authorisation, she replied: "Take my oxen which are in such and such a place or on the mountain; harness them to a cart, carry the body of your master, and then, in whatever place you please, build as you please. But she spoke as a she-wolf, for she knew that these oxen were wild and untamed bulls; that is why she thought that they could neither be brought together nor harnessed, or that if they could be mated, they would run hither and thither, break the chariot, overturn the body and kill the drivers themselves. But there is no wisdom against God (Prov., XXI). These, not suspecting malice, climbed the mountain, where they met a dragon breathing fire; he was about to come upon them, when they made the sign of the cross to defend themselves and cut the dragon in the middle of the belly. They also made the sign of the cross on the bulls, which instantly became as gentle as lambs; they were harnessed, and the body of St James was placed on the cart with the stone on which it had been laid (275). The oxen then, without anyone directing them, brought the body to the middle of the palace of Louve, who was stunned at the sight. She believed and became a Christian. She dedicated her palace to the honour of Saint James and turned it into a church, which she endowed magnificently. She then ended her life practising good works. - Pope Calixtus tells us that a man from the diocese of Modena, named Bernard, was a captive chained up in a tower. The saint appeared to him: "Come," he said, "follow me to Galicia"; then he broke his chains and disappeared; the prisoner then hung his chains around his neck, climbed to the top of the tower from where he only had to make one jump without injuring himself, even though the tower was sixty cubits high. - One man, says Bede, had repeatedly committed an enormous sin; the bishop, not very reassured by absolving him in confession, sent the man to Santiago, giving him a certificate on which the sin had been written. On the saint's feast day, the pilgrim placed the cedula on the altar and prayed to Saint James to forgive him the sin through his merits; he then opened the cedula and found that everything had been erased; he gave thanks to God and to Saint James and publicly recounted the fact to everyone. - Thirty men from Lorraine, according to Hubert de Besançon, went to Santiago around 1080 and promised to help each other, except for one. When one of them fell ill, his companions waited for him for 15 days, but finally they all abandoned him except for the one (276) who had not made a promise. He kept him at the foot of Mont Saint-Michel, but in the evening the sick man died. The survivor was greatly frightened by the solitude of the place, by the presence of the corpse, by the night, which threatened to be dark, and by the ferocity of the local barbarians. That night, before sunrise, they travelled fifteen days and arrived at Montjoie, only half a league from Santiago. There the saint put them ashore and ordered them to summon the canons of Saint-Jacques to bury the pilgrim who had died, and to tell his companions that, having broken their promise, their pilgrimage would be worthless. The pilgrim carried out these orders, and his companions were very impressed both by the journey he had made, and by the words he told them had been spoken by Saint James.

According to Pope Calixtus, a German on his way to Santiago with his son, around the year of our Lord 1090, stopped to lodge in Toulouse with a host who got him drunk and hid a silver cup in his trunk. When they left the next day, the host pursued them like thieves, blaming them for stealing his silver cup. When they told him he'd have them punished if he could find the cup on them, their trunk was opened.

* It seems doubtful whether the opuscule on the miracles of Saint James belongs to Pope Calixtus. It is taken in its entirety from Vincent de Beauvais: Spécula Hist. liv. XXVII. - Césaire d'Hesterhach recites the following fact, liv. III, ch. LVIII.

and the object was found: they were immediately taken to the judge. There was a judgement pronouncing that all their assets were to be sold to the host, and that one of them was to be hanged. But as the 'father wanted to die in the son's place, and the son in the father's, the son was hanged, and the father continued on his way to Santiago in grief. Twenty-six days later, however, he returned, stopped beside his son's body and cried lamentably; when behold, the son tied to the gallows began to console him, saying: "Most sweet father, do not weep; for I have never been so well; to this day Saint James has sustained me, and he restores me with heavenly sweetness." On hearing this, the father ran to the town, the people came, untied the pilgrim's son, who was safe and sound, and hanged the host. - Hugues de Saint-Victor tells of a pilgrim on his way to Santiago de Compostela, when the devil appeared to him in the guise of the saint and, reminding him of all the miseries of the present life, added that he would be happy if he killed himself in his honor. The pilgrim grabbed a sword and immediately killed himself. And as the man in whose house he had received hospitality was considered suspicious, and was very much afraid of dying, the dead man immediately resurrected, and said that at the very moment when the devil, on whose persuasion he had given himself death, was leading him to the ordeal, the blessed James had come, snatched him out of the devil's hands and led him to the throne of the sovereign judge; and there, badly....

St. James, also known as James the Greater or Santiago in Spanish, was one of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus Christ. He is often depicted as a fiery character, assertive, upfront, and honest.

James was born in the village of Bethsaida in Galilee, in what is now modern-day Israel. He was the son of Zebedee and Salome and the brother of the apostle John. Both James and John were fishermen by trade.

James, along with his brother John, was called by Jesus to become one of His apostles. They left their fishing nets and followed Jesus, becoming part of His inner circle of disciples.

Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. Matthew 4:21-22

James was known for his zeal and enthusiasm in serving Jesus. Along with Peter and John, he witnessed significant events in Jesus’ ministry, such as the Transfiguration and the raising of Jairus’ daughter. He was also one of the few apostles present during Jesus’ agony in the Garden of Gethsemane.

After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. Mark 9:2-3

James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means ‘sons of thunder’) Mark 3:17

The nickname “sons of thunder” likely refers to the temperament and fervor displayed by James and John. It suggests that they had an ardent and zealous disposition, prone to passion and intensity in their beliefs. This nickname serves as a reminder of their strong personalities and the need for them to channel their energy and devotion in a manner aligned with Jesus’ teachings of love, forgiveness, and humility.

After the death of Jesus and the early days of the Christian community in Jerusalem, St. James traveled to the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain). While preaching in Zaragoza, he encountered difficulties and faced little success in converting the locals from their Roman pagan traditions. In discouragement, he prayed by the banks of the Ebro River and encountered an apparition. The Virgin Mary, who was still alive at the time and living in Jerusalem, miraculously appeared to him on a pillar of marble.

Mary encouraged and reassured St. James, providing him with a wooden statue of herself and a pillar as a sign of her presence and support. She instructed him to build a church on the spot where the apparition occurred, which is believed to be the location of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar, also known as the Zaragoza Cathedral-Basilica.

James’ martyrdom is a significant part of his story. According to early Christian tradition, James preached in Spain and then returned to Jerusalem. Around 44 AD, King Herod Agrippa I initiated a persecution against the early Christians, and James was one of the victims. He was beheaded, becoming the first apostle to be martyred.

About that time Herod the king laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church. He killed James the brother of John with the sword”. Acts 12:1-2

Legends surrounding James’ martyrdom and burial emerged in the centuries that followed. According to one tradition, his disciples carried his body back to Spain, where it was buried in what is now Santiago de Compostela. Another tradition says that after his execution, the disciples of St. James placed his body in a stone boat and set it adrift in the Mediterranean Sea. Angels then guided the boat to the shores of Galicia in Northwestern Spain, where he was later buried in the province’s capital (Santiago de Compostela).

In the 9th century, Pelayo, a hermit who lived in the region of Galicia, was praying when he saw a bright light shining down from the sky. Intrigued by the light, he followed its path until he arrived at a field.

There, Pelayo discovered a hidden tomb, in which he found the remains of a beheaded man, whom he believed to be the apostle St. James. Recognizing the significance of the discovery, Pelayo reported his findings to the local bishop, Theodomir. Accompanied by Pelayo, Theodomir went to the site to verify the claim. Upon seeing the tomb and the remains, the bishop proclaimed the discovery to be the burial place of St. James. The news quickly spread, drawing pilgrims from far and wide to pay homage to the apostle.

The city name, Santiago de Compostela, then holds significant importance. The word “Santiago” is derived from the Latin name “Jacobus” which translates to “James” in English. “De Compostela” indicates the geographical location and context of the city. It comes from the Latin term “Campus Stellae”, meaning “Field of Stars”. The term likely refers to a tradition that a bright guiding star appeared over the field where St. James’ tomb was discovered.

St. James became the patron saint of Spain and his symbol is the scallop shell, which is associated with pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. He is often depicted as a pilgrim with a staff, a gourd, and a scallop shell.

The life of St. James embodies dedication to Christ, missionary zeal, and the spirit of pilgrimage. His legacy is celebrated by millions of pilgrims who undertake the Camino de Santiago each year, seeking spiritual growth and connection with the apostle and his teachings.

Knowledge of the life of St. John of Patmos (also known as the 'Theologian' or the 'Divine'), the author of the Book of Revelation, which includes the letters to the seven churches of Asia Minor, mostly comes from apocryphal stories recorded after his death. Christian tradition identifies him with Other New Testament figures of the same name, St. John the Evangelist, the traditional author of the Fourth Gospel who is also claimed to be St. John the Apostle. The accounts of the Gospels agree that the latter is the son of Zebedee; together with his brother James (the Greater), he decided to follow Christ while fishing in the lake Galilee. He became one of Christ's closest disciples and is said to have been with him on various significant occasions such as the Transfiguration and the Crucifixion. According to the Fourth Gospel, also known as the Gospel of John (In 19:26-27), on the cross:

When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, 'Woman, behold, your son'. Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother'. And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

The disciple whom he loved is thought to have been St. John. He is said to have been martyred like his brother St. James and buried in Jerusalem. Another tradition holds that taking the Virgin with him, St. John traveled to Ephesus in Asia Minor, was exiled to the island of Patmos, wrote the Fourth Gospel and the Book of Revelation there and finally returned to Ephesus where he died and was buried. The second half of the first century was full of disasters for the early Christians. The Romans at first regarded Christianity as a new Jewish movement. Like the others it 'was expected to disappear or survive as a sect after the crucifixion of Christ.

When this did not happen and Christians began to challenge (probably not in quantity but in essence) the accepted doctrine of the Synagogue and Rome, its leaders were caught and eliminated. St. Stephen and St. James the less (the traditional brother of Christ) were stoned to death and St. James the Greater put to the sword. St. Peter and St. Paul were taken to Rome and executed. Many believers had to leave Palestine and seek shelter in other countries. It is during this period, probably during the Jewish Revolt (66-70) which ended with the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem that St. John, taking the Virgin with him, traveled to Ephesus.

At that time Ephesus probably had a population of over hundred and fifty thousand, which must have included a large number of Jews, and about a thousand or more Jewish and Gentile Christians. Following the Jewish Revolt, Jews and Jewish Christians of the diaspora began to lose their favorable position in Roman eyes and fall into disgrace. To the discontent of the Jews, the Gentile Christians, since they had not participated in the revolt, were treated better. However by this time the solid Christian communities established during the first missionary wave had been weakened by dissensions and declining numbers. On arriving in Ephesus, St. John was shocked to see how some Christians had compromised with pagan practices, a situation which he refers to in his first letter of the Revelation. This is addressed to the Christians in Ephesus.

The first part of the major ancient source which is thought to have narrated the arrival and first stay of St. John in Ephesus is lost. What survives relates mostly to his return from Patmos exile; how he began proclaiming the Gospel in Ephesus, his contests with both pagans and heretics among his own community, his miracles and his death there.

In the Book of Revelation St. John does not give any detailed information about the cause of his exile. He merely says that he was exiled to Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Christ (Rv1 :9). Preaching was not a capital crime which would lead to banishment. As long as they did not cause disturbances the Roman administration allowed the people under their rule to worship whatever god or cult they chose. Christians were not regarded as criminals in Roman eyes but members of an illicit religion.

When he was serving as the governor of the province of Bithynia, the younger Pliny wrote to Trajan asking the emperor's advice on what to do with the Christians whose numbers kept on increasing. The governor admitted that although he executed Christians as his predecessors had done, he did not know the exact nature of their crime. Pliny's letter is the first documented account of Christian presence in Anatolia. Trajan, although in the course of time he changed his opinion, did not regard the Christians as dangerous.

In Ephesus it is probable that St. John was accused of being an agitator. Being the most prominent figure of his group he might have been chosen to serve as an example. The worst punishment reserved for criminals not sentenced to death, was to strip them of their civil rights and material possessions and banish them to a remote corner of the empire or to an isolated spot. If St. John had been accused of refusing to sacrifice to the imperial cult, especially the cult of Domitian (81-96) which was then established in Ephesus, this would have been a capital crime punishable by death. The huge edifice to the south of the state agora in Ephesus was the first temple of the imperial cult erected in Anatolia and its impact must have been on the Christians in this city.

A late Greek tradition has it that after arriving in Ephesus the story of St. John's miracles reached the ears of Domitian and he was called to Rome. Here his power was tested in front of the emperor by making him drink a cup of poison which killed a criminal but did not harm him, and by asking him to raise a girl who had supposedly been slain by an evil spirit. Domitian, impressed by what he had witnessed, decided only to banish him to Patmos. His banishment lasted until the death of the emperor.

A tradition popular only among Latin authors, relates that St. John was first taken to Rome as prisoner upon the order of the emperor and cast into a cauldron of hot oil at the Latin Gate (the origin of the feast of St. John' Port Latin' or at the 'Latin Gate,' May 6), but he came out unscathed.

The place chosen to banish St. John was one of the volcanic islands scattered in the Aegean about eighty kilometers south of Ephesus, and was used as a penal colony. A later Byzantine chronicle refers to the island as being 'deserted and uncultivated, covered with and made impassable by thorns and shrubs, and by reason of its aridity completely barren', St. John was exiled to Patmos together with his young disciple Prochorus, one of the deacons of the Jerusalem church (Acts 6:5). On the way to Patmos he rescued a boy who fell from the ship into the sea. The length of his exile is claimed to have been one and half, or five or fifteen years. During his stay there he did not stop preaching the Gospel and converting the inhabitants. A tradition has it that when his activity was heard at the Temple of Apollo, the priests asked help from a famous magician called Kynops whose most popular trick was to jump into the sea and come out after a while, unharmed. In front of the witnesses challenging St. John, he did the same.

St. John extended his arms in the form of a cross and prayed '0 Thou, who didst grant to Moses by this similitude to overthrow the Amalek, 0 Lord Jesus Christ, bring down Kynops to the deep of the sea; let him never more behold this sun, nor converse with living men', After a short while the petrified body of the magician surfaced as a rock on the water a short distance away. The local fishermen claim that to this day the bad taste of the shellfish caught around the rock derives from this magician. On Patmos St. John was unchained and free to go wherever he wished. It was in a grotto on Patmos that he wrote the Fourth Gospel and received the visions of the last book of the New Testament known as the Book of Revelation. Some of the imagery, for instance:

Then the sky was divided like a torn scroll curling up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place

(Rv 6:14)

or

Every island fled, and mountains disappeared

(Rv 16:20)

is thought to have been inspired by the island. The Book of Revelation gives few facts about St. John's life, except for the fact that he had a Jewish background and probably a priestly ancestry. So far as is known, he remained celibate. In art he is often shown as an old man on Patmos, seated and writing his book, standing or sitting in front of a cave and looking up into heaven, and writing or dictating to his disciple Prochorus. Sometimes he is shown sitting alone writing the Fourth Gospel. In such representations the inscription on the Gospel or open scroll in his hand or in front of his disciple Prochorus reads In the beginning was the Word (In 1 : 1). His attribute is an eagle, because his words carry the reader up to heaven and paper, ink, and a scroll are the common accessories of such compositions.

St. John's Patmos exile terminated with Domitian's death. However, his ship was wrecked on leaving Patmos and swimming on a cork St. John landed at Miletos; from there he went to Ephesus. Afterwards he is said to have governed the churches in Asia and given advice to their elders until his death in the reign of Trajan (98-117). The apocryphal tradition mentions that one day while preaching in the Temple of Artemis the altar and other objects in the temple and half of the temple itself, collapsed. Once he was challenged by Aristodemus, high priest of the Temple of Artemis, the Roman Diana, to show the superiority of the Christians' God by drinking out of a poisoned cup. When St. John made the sign of cross over the cup, the poison emerged in the shape of a serpent, and he drained the vessel.

St. John also restored to life two criminals under sentence of death who had been made to test beforehand the result of the poison. Having witnessed the miracle both Aristodemus and the proconsul of Ephesus are said to have accepted Christian faith. Among the other miracles he is said to have performed in Ephesus was the raising of Drusiana, a widow with whom he had lodged before he was exiled to Patmos. As her funeral passed by she sat up in her coffin at St. John's command and went home to prepare a meal for him. During his residence in Ephesus he is claimed to have gone to Smyrna where he won St. Polycarp to Christianity and made him the bishop of the city.

Another tradition claims that during his last years St. John built a hut on the isolated Ayasuluk hill and lived there and wrote the fourth book of the New Testament known by his name. He is thought to have died at a great age, claimed to have been a hundred and twenty, around the year 100 and to be buried on the hill. This may be the reason why he is sometimes depicted as a very old man with a long white beard, even when he is in the early years of his life in Palestine.

According to tradition, after his tomb was dug, he laid himself down in it and gave up his spirit. The following day his body was not found because presumably he had ascended to heaven. Another tradition claims that only his sandals were found and the earth over his grave was moving as if stirred by his breathing. The Latin tradition has it that after his prayer there appeared over him a great light at which no one could look; then he laid himself down and gave up his ghost. Immediately manna issued from his tomb and continued issuing forth. By the end of the second century most of the churches in western Anatolia regarded him as their founder.

Death and Relics of Saint James

When he returned to Judea, he was beheaded by King Herod Agrippa I in the year 44AD. This is detailed in the Bible in Acts 12 of the New Testament, “King Herod extended his hands to harm certain ones from the church. 2 He killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3 Seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to arrest Peter also,” (Act 12 Modern English Version).

St James on a Stone Boat

The remains, or relics, of St James the Greater, were then transported by his followers to the Iberian Peninsula (today’s Galicia in Spain) and are said to be buried in Santiago de Compostela, which is why St James the Greater is now the patron saint of Spain.

According to legend, his body, along with his followers, sailed to the Iberian Peninsula on a rudderless ship with no sail. Landing on the northwest coast of the peninsula they proceeded up the River Ulla to land at Iria Flavia, (modern-day Padron). The Celtic Queen Lupia ruled these lands, and when asked by James’ followers if they could bury his body she refused and sent troops after them. While chasing the followers of James with his body across a bridge, it collapsed, killing her troops.

Queen Lupia then converted to Christianity and provided an ox and cart for the followers of James to transport the body. Unsure of where they should bury the sacred remains, his followers prayed on this and decided to let the ox continue until it chose a place to rest. After pausing at a stream the ox finally came to rest under an oak tree at the top of a hill. It’s here that the Cathedral of Santiago stands today.

- The Order of DeMolay (IODM) - demolay.org

A Masonic youth organization for young men aged 12 to 21 years. Membership does not require family Masonic affiliation, nor does it confer any Masonic membership. The organization is dedicated to providing guidance and development of civic leadership and social values in young men. A side body of the DeMolay is the Order of Knighthood. The presiding body is a Chapter, and the presiding officer is a Master Councilor.

Degrees worked include:

"Initiatory Degree

"DeMolay Degree

"Degree of Chevalier (Honorary Degree)

DeMolay provides a safe place for young men to have a greater level of independence. The young men decide on the activities, plan them and carry them out from start to finish. The DeMolay chapter is run completely by its members. Adult volunteers called “advisors” are present at every DeMolay event to help when needed, but they stay in the background as much as possible. DeMolay advisors are the safety net, the resource, the mentors and the friends, but they are not the planners or the leaders – the young men are.

Young people face many tough situations. DeMolay provides a place where young men can try new experiences and have social interaction with peers in an environment where they will be safe and supported. DeMolay members learn responsibility, respect for others and how to interact with adults – both as authority figures and as coworkers.

DeMolay is an organization dedicated to preparing young men to lead successful, happy, and productive lives. Basing its approach on timeless principles and practical, hands-on experience, DeMolay opens doors for young men aged 12 to 21 by developing the civic awareness, personal responsibility and leadership skills so vitally needed in society today. DeMolay combines this serious mission with a fun approach that builds important bonds of friendship among members in more than 1,000 chapters worldwide.

The Order of DeMolay was founded in 1919, in Kansas City, Missouri, by a young man named Frank S. Land. Land was a community leader who, at the age of 28, already had a successful business career as a restaurateur behind him.

DeMolay alumni include Walt Disney, John Wayne, Walter Cronkite, football Hall-of-Famer Fran Tarkenton, legendary Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne, news anchor David Goodnow and many others. Each has spoken eloquently of the life-changing benefit gained from their involvement in DeMolay.

Is DeMolay a religious organization?

No. Among the requirements for membership in DeMolay is the belief in a Supreme Being, but not one of any particular doctrine, sect, or denomination. A young man’s religious convictions are his own. DeMolay’s members include Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and members of many other religious groups. DeMolay does not involve itself in religious discussions. It merely recognizes the importance of faith in the lives of young men. The virtue of Reverence for Sacred Things seeks to remind our members to rely upon, and use, faith in their own personal lives.

Listing NGR: SE6034651523. Albert Victor's Masonic lodge affiliation is not clear. A news paper article from The South Australian Register on March 19th, 1885 states that on the previous evening, Albert Victor received his initiatory degree. This would have coincided with his time in Cambridge. Additional evidence comes from the history of Albert Victor Lodge No. 2328 in York which is named for Albert Victor. The lodge was named in 1889 and records indicate that he was asked permission for the lodge named after him. He would later become an honorary member of the lodge. This request would coincide with his time with the 10th Hussars in York.

Guru bin gyan na upje, guru bin mile na moksha

Guru bin likhe na satya ko, guru bin mite na dosh

गुरु बिन ज्ञान न ऊपजे, गुरु बिन मिले न मोक्ष |

गुरु बिन लिखे न सत्य को, गुरु बिन मिटे न दोष ||

MEANING

Without the Guru no one obtains spiritual knowledge or achieves salvation.

Without the Guru no one can see Truth or have his doubts removed.

The syllable gu means shadows

The syllable ru, he who disperses them,

Because of the power to disperse darkness

the guru is thus named.

— Advayataraka Upanishad 14—18, verse 5

Guru (Devanagari गुरु) is a Sanskrit term for "teacher" or "master", particularly in Indian religions. The Hindu guru-shishya tradition is the oral tradition or religious doctrine or experiential wisdom transmitted from teacher to student. In the United States, the word guru is a newer term, most often used to describe a teacher from the Hindu tradition. In the West some derogatory interpretations of the word have been noted, reflecting certain gurus who have allegedly exploited their followers' naiveté, due to the use of the term in certain new religious movements.[1]

The word guru, a noun, means "teacher" in Sanskrit and in other languages derived from or borrowing words from Sanskrit, such as Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Bengali, Gujarati and Nepali. The Malayalam term Acharyan or Asan are derived from the Sanskrit word Acharya. It is transliterated in different ways such as "Asaan", "Ashan", "Aasaan" etc.

As a noun the word means the imparter of knowledge (jñāna; also Pali: ñāna). As an adjective, it means 'heavy,' or 'weighty,' in the sense of "heavy with knowledge,"[2] heavy with spiritual wisdom,[3] "heavy with spiritual weight,"[4] "heavy with the good qualities of scriptures and realization,"[5] or "heavy with a wealth of knowledge."[6] The word has its roots in the Sanskrit gri (to invoke, or to praise), and may have a connection to the word gur, meaning 'to raise, lift up, or to make an effort'.[7]

Sanskrit guru is cognate with Latin gravis 'heavy; grave, weighty, serious'[8] and Greek βαρύς barus 'heavy'. All Proto-Indo-European root *gʷerə-, specifically from the zero-grade form *gʷr̥ə-.[9]

A traditional etymology of the term "guru" is based on the interplay between darkness and light. The guru is seen as the one who "dispels the darkness of ignorance."[10][11][12] In some texts it is described that the syllables gu (गु) and ru (रु) stand for darkness and light, respectively.[13]

Reender Kranenborg disagrees, stating that darkness and light have nothing to do with the word guru. He describes this as a folk etymology.[14]

Another etymology of the word "guru" found in the Guru Gita, includes gu as "beyond the qualities" and ru as "devoid of form", stating that "He who bestows that nature which transcend the qualities is said to be guru".[15] The meanings of "gu" and "ru" can also be traced to the Sutras indicating concealment and its annulment.[10]

In Western Esotericism and the Science of Religion, Pierre Riffard makes a distinction between "occult" and "scientific" etymologies, citing as an example of the former the etymology of 'guru' in which the derivation is presented as gu ("darkness") and ru ('to push away'); the latter he exemplifies by "guru" with the meaning of 'heavy'.[

The importance of finding a guru who can impart transcendental knowledge (vidyā) is emphasised in Hinduism. One of the main Hindu texts, the Bhagavad Gita, is a dialogue between God in the form of Krishna and his friend Arjuna, a Kshatriya prince who accepts Krishna as his guru on the battlefield, prior to a large battle. Not only does this dialogue outline many of the ideals of Hinduism, but their relationship is considered an ideal one of Guru-Shishya. In the Gita, Krishna speaks to Arjuna of the importance of finding a guru:

In the sentence mentioned above, guru is used more or less interchangeably with satguru (literally: true teacher), paratpar Guru and satpurusha. Compare also Swami. However, there is a marked difference between them in the spiritual context.[18] The disciple of a guru is called a śiṣya or chela. Often a guru lives in an ashram or in a gurukula (the guru's household), together with his disciples. The lineage of a guru, spread by disciples who carry on the guru's message, is known as the guru parampara, or disciplic succession.

The role of the guru continues in the original sense of the word in such Hindu traditions as the Vedānta, yoga, tantra and bhakti schools. Indeed, it is now a standard part of Hinduism that a guru is one's spiritual guide on earth. In some more mystical traditions it is believed that the guru could awaken dormant spiritual knowledge within the pupil. The act of doing this is known as shaktipat.

In Hinduism, the guru is considered a respected person with saintly qualities who enlightens the mind of his or her disciple, an educator from whom one receives the initiatory mantra, and one who instructs in rituals and religious ceremonies. The Vishnu Smriti and Manu Smriti regard the teacher and the mother and father as the most venerable influences on an individual.

In Indian culture, a person without a guru, or a teacher (acharya), was once looked down on as an orphan, or unfortunate person. The word anatha in Sanskrit means "the one without a teacher." An acharya is the giver of gyan (knowledge) in the form of shiksha (instruction). A guru also gives diksha initiation which is the spiritual awakening of the disciple by the grace of the guru. Diksha is also considered to be the procedure of bestowing the divine powers of a guru upon the disciple, through which the disciple progresses continuously along the path to divinity.

The concept of the "guru" can be traced aback as far as the early Upanishads, when the idea of the Divine Teacher on earth first manifested from its early Brahmin associations.

Gurus of several Hindu denominations are often referred to as Satgurus.

In the Upanishads[citation needed], five signs of satguru (true guru) are mentioned.

In the presence of the satguru; Knowledge flourishes (Gyana raksha); Sorrow diminishes (Dukha kshaya); Joy wells up without any reason (Sukha aavirbhava); Abundance dawns (Samriddhi); All talents manifest (Sarva samvardhan).

According to the Indologist Georg Feuerstein, the preceptors were traditionally treated with great reverence, granted excessive authority, and identified with the transcendental Reality. He writes that partly to counterbalance this deification, some Hindu schools began to emphasize that the real teacher is the transcendental Self.[21]

The Shiva Samhita, a late medieval text on Hatha yoga, enshrines the figure of the guru as essential for liberation, and asserts that the disciple should give all his or her property and livestock to the guru upon diksha (initiation).[21]

The Vishnu Smriti and Manu Smriti regard the Acharya (teacher/guru), along with the mother and the father, as the most venerable individuals. The mother and father are the first "guru," the spiritual guru is the second.

The Mundaka Upanishad says that in order to realize the supreme godhead, one should surrender one's self before the guru who knows the secrets of the Vedas.

On the role of the guru, Swami Sivananda asks: "Do you realize now the sacred significance and the supreme importance of the Guru's role in the evolution of man? It was not without reason that the India of the past carefully tended and kept alive the lamp of Guru-Tattva. It is therefore not without reason that India, year after year, age after age, commemorates anew this ancient concept of the Guru, adores it and pays homage to it again and again, and thereby re-affirms its belief and allegiance to it. For, the true Indian knows that the Guru is the only guarantee for the individual to transcend the bondage of sorrow and death, and experience the Consciousness of the Reality."

Some scriptures and gurus have warned against false teachers, and have recommended that the spiritual seeker test the guru before accepting him. Some have given criteria on how to distinguish false from genuine ones:

The Advaya Taraka Upanishad states that the true teacher is well-versed in the Vedas, is a devotee of Vishnu, is free from envy, knows yoga and is intent upon it, and always has the nature of yoga. Also that a person who is equipped with devotion to the teacher, has knowledge of the Self and possesses the above characteristics may be designated as a guru.[21]

The Maitrayaniya Upanishad warns against false teachers who may deceive the naive.[21]

The Kula-Arnava-Tantra states that there are many gurus who may rob the disciple's wealth but few who can remove the disciple's afflictions.[21]

Swami Vivekananda said that there are many incompetent gurus, and that a true guru should understand the spirit of the scriptures, have a pure character and be free from sin, and should be selfless, without desire for money and fame.[22]

Mirinalini Mata, a direct disciple of Yogananda, said that a true guru should be humble (Self-Realization Fellowship 1978, Cassette No 2402)

Sathya Sai Baba said in a discourse (Sathya Sai Speaks, vol I, p. 197) that the hunt for rich disciples who can be fleeced has become a tragicomedy, and said in the booklet Sandeha Nivarini that the seeker should test the guru by assessing whether his words are full of wisdom, and whether he puts into practice what he preaches.[23]

Saibaba The Master by Acharya Ekkirala Bharadwaja an in depth study of Shirdi Sai as a guru insists that one must follow the way of reading life histories of saints and it is the saints which will show us the correct guru when we are ready and capable of serving a guru. In Sufi-ism which revolves around Aulias(Saints), a disciple prays a Sufi-saint at his tomb, until the saint appears in a dream to the disciple and shows him the correct and living guru to go and serve. This is claimed as the Most secure way of entering a Guru-Shishya Parampara. Guru Charitra by Acharya Ekkirala Bharadwaja explains it in more detail.

Rituals[edit]

Guru Purnima is the day when the disciple wakes up and expresses gratitude. The purpose of the Guru Purnima (or Poornima) celebration is to review the preceding year to see how much one has progressed in life, to renew one's determination, and to focus on one's progress on the spiritual path.

Guru Puja (literally "worship of the guru") the practice of worshiping the guru through the making of offerings and requesting inspiration from the guru. Vows and commitments made by the disciple or shishya, which might have lost their strength, are renewed.

Guru Bhakti (literally "devotion to the guru") is considered important in many schools and sects.

Looking up the north wing entrance to the Grand Palais, also known as the Clemenceau entrance to the Galeries Nationales (facing the Avenue des Champs-Élysées).

Seen on top is a quadriga - bronze chariot and four flying horse sculpture called "L'Immortalité devançant le Temps" (Immortality Outstripping Time) by Georges Récipon (1860 - 1920) a French painter and sculptor.

The Grand Palais ("Big Palace") is a large glass exhibition hall that was built for the Paris Exhibition of 1900.

Though the Nave is emblematic of the Grand Palais, the building is in fact a complex which also includes the Palais d'Antin, home to the Palais de la Découverte science museum, and the Galeries Nationales, with its art collections managed by the Réunion des musées Nationaux.

Designed in 1937 initially for the purposes of a temporary exhibition, the Palais de la Découverte has for 70 years fulfilled its initiatory role in the popularisation of scientific knowledge.

The Galeries Nationales were developed in 1962. André Malraux, then the French Minister of State for Cultural Affairs, was looking for a venue for major temporary exhibitions of international stature. He decided to earmark part of the Grand Palais, subsequently to become the Galeries nationales, for this purpose. Programming is the responsibility of the Réunion des Musées Nationaux.

The Grand Palais also has a restaurant, the central police station of the 8th district of Paris, two rehearsal rooms occupied by the Comédie Française, the troops of the Garde Républicaine and an international press centre.

L'exposition Trans-mutation commissariée par Rodolphe Bessey s'implantera à la Demeure du Chaos / Abode of Chaos, sur le parcours en plein air du Musée l'Organe.

L'exposition, Trans-Mutation est à la confluence de plusieurs rencontres, d'une même sensibilité et de thèmes communs. Connexions, interactions entre différents passeurs et, après quelques temps, l'exposition a pu se mettre en place dans son insolite gestation.

Nous avons invité neuf artistes singuliers et complémentaires, d'une énergie élémentaire remarquable ; ils viendront s'exprimer au travers de plusieurs perspectives, témoignages d'un futur antérieur, avec leurs modernités et leurs particularités.

Passerelle entre des techniques ancestrales et de futurs possibles. Des œuvres alchimiques, réminiscences d'une post-humanité, échos d'un futur proche, anticipation de l'essence, mais aussi reliques de périodes oubliées ou encore artefacts stellaires.

Poème de l'âme, l'art n'est pas une croyance. Il est un acte et une réalité bien ancrée, simple et percutant, loin des affres prétentieux de ceux qui croient en maîtriser les arcanes.

J'ai confiance en l'art et en sa lumière, je préconise le collectif pour aller plus haut, voire plus loin. "Une poésie palpable, une pensée du tremblement", comme le disait si bien Edouard Glissant.

Mystique et magique, l'arche du temps embarque les artistes et leurs œuvres dans le maelström lumineux et aveuglant de la Demeure du Chaos / Abode of Chaos, le Musée l'Organe incarnant un accélérateur de particules, artistique et TRANS-MUTANT.

Là où s'invente le collectif qui se définit par les individus qui le composent, thierry Ehrmann parlera d'égrégore.

Rodolphe Bessey commissaire de l'exposition Trans-Mutation

thierry Ehrmann auteur de la Demeure du Chaos:

La Demeure du Chaos / Abode of Chaos gérée par le musée l'Organe est née de ma plume avec, pour essence première, le thème de l'Alchimie à travers le temps et les civilisations. L’alchimie est donc une voie spirituelle, d’éveil, et de transformation qui obéit aux lois naturelles ainsi qu’à une doctrine particulière, liée à l’Art de la Transmutation : "L’art Royal qui reflète la divine nature dans ses principes premiers".

Lisons avec attention ce que nous révèle mon vieux Maître Fulcanelli dans le second tome de ses "Demeures Philosophales" qui fut ma planche initiatique de 1985 : "Ayant obtenu le délectable produit pourpre, on peut passer à la confection de la Poudre dite de Projection, ferment de miraculeuses Transmutations de matières déchues en matériaux de haute dignité !" Il était donc naturel qu'une "correspondance" telle que la conçoit Baudelaire, à savoir comme un véritable "art poétique", c’est-à-dire la formulation d’un projet esthétique en même temps que son illustration par l’exemple, soit confiée à Rodolphe Bessey.

L'Égrégore dont me parle Rodolphe est, dans l'ésotérisme, un concept désignant un esprit de groupe, une force produite et influencée par les désirs et émotions de plusieurs individus unis dans un but commun. Cette force vivante fonctionne alors comme une entité autonome. Le terme, apparu dans la tradition hermétiste, a été repris par les surréalistes, qui l'ont chargé d'un fort potentiel subversif. C'est la définition la plus naturelle qui définit l'exposition Trans-mutation au cœur du creuset alchimique de la Demeure du Chaos avec ses 9 Porteurs de Lumière qui nous éclairent par leurs œuvres nées de la Materia Prima.

thierry Ehrmann, Plasticien, Auteur de la Demeure du Chaos / Abode of Chaos (1999)

When I conceived the “Abode of Chaos” (today managed by the OrgAn Museum) the primary concepts underpinning its development came from Alchemy, a philosophy that has crossed both time and civilisations. Alchemy is a spiritual path… a path of awareness and of transformation… that obeys natural laws and a specific doctrine related to the Art of Transmutation. “The Royal Art that reflects divine nature in its primary principles”.

In the second volume of his Philosophical Abodes – a work that was an initiatory experience for me in 1985 – my old master Fulcanelli says “Having obtained the delectable purple product, we can move on to the creation of the so-called Projection Purple, a catalyst of miraculous Transmutations of waste materials into noble materials!" It was therefore natural that a “correspondence” in the Baudelairian sense as a veritable poetic art (i.e. the formulation of an aesthetic project at the same time as its illustration by example) should be entrusted to Rodolphe Bessey. read more on Facebook

The St Michael’s Line or ”St. Michael Alignment” or ”Sword of St. Michael” is no doubt one of the most intriguing and prominent out of the numerous ley lines crisscrossing Europe and Middle East. This runs in straight line between Skellig Michael, the southwestern extremity of Ireland, and Mount Carmel located on Israel. While many researchers have tried to unlock its secrets, its full meaning still remains a mystery. Despite this, it continues to capture people’s attention with its unique mysterious pattern.The Saint Michael's line is a postulated ley line also referred to as ‘The Apollo Line’ connecting monasteries dedicated to the Archangel Michael in Europe and in the Middle East. The aligned monasteries include Skellig Michael (Ireland), St Michael's Mount in Cornwall (UK), Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy (France), Sacra di San Michele (Italy), Chiesa di San Galgano (Italy), Tempio di San Michele Arcangelo, Perugia (Italy), Santuario di San Michele del Gargano (Italy), Delphi (Greece), Island of Delos (Greece), Symi (Greece), Kourion (Cyprus), and Mount Carmel (Israel),[1] built over an extended period of time spanning from the 6th to the 13th century. There are claims that the line perfectly aligns with the sunset on the day of the Northern Hemisphere’s Summer Solstice (however, sunrise/sunset maps show this to be incorrect ) and is sometimes referred to as the "Sword of St. Michael," said to represent the blow with which St. Michael sent the devil to hell.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Michael%27s_line

The sacred St Michael’s line then proceeds to France crossing another famous island that also joins the low tide land. The spectacular Mont Saint-Michel, another sight of the Archangel’s appearance. The beauty and historical and artistic richness of this sanctuary in Normandy make it one of the most visited places in the whole of France and guaranteed its proclamation as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. Mont Saint Michel was already surrounded by strong mysticism since the high middle ages. More than 1300 years ago, in 709, the Archangel appeared according to tradition to the Bishop of a branch st. Albert requesting the construction of the sanctuary. Works began shortly but the Benedictine abbey was only to be ready in the 10th century.

gretour.com/st-michaels-line/

The name is derived from the numerous sites that were dedicated to St. Michael that skirts or touches on its course that runs for 3500 miles. As well as from its orientation which is the sunrise’s direction on May 8, the date when the Apparition of St. Michael is celebrated by the Latin liturgy. Despite the supposed antiquity of these ley lines combined with the baffling number of esoteric theories associated with them, it was only just recently that these ley lines were discovered all over again as they were originally described mostly in exoteric terms.

It only means that these revived leys lines are not just meant as supposed remnants of the Neolithic surveying. These lines also abound with mystical qualities and their significance explaining such or explained by diverse phenomena like ancient astronomy, dowsing, Peru’s Nazca lines, feng shui, as well as the geography of the pagan and Christian sort at the same time.

Esoteric theories are often short on facts but long on mysteries. But, there is also no denying that St. Michael Line cuts a rather intriguing trajectory across Europe and Middle East.

It is easy to spend several years looking into all the finer details of this alignment lore. However, there is a chance that instead of getting your hands on the final piece that will complete the puzzle, chances are you will only end up stumbling on a bigger and more complicated puzzle.The term is also used to refer to a similar alignment of sites linked to Saint Michael in the UK, between St Michael's Mount, Glastonbury Tor and Hopton-on-Sea. This UK alignment was first postulated in 1969 by John Mitchell and subsequently claimed to be supported by dowsing.

Since June 2001, following the appeal addressed to them in 2000 by Bishop Jacques Fihey, Bishop of Coutances and Avranches, a community of monks and nuns of the Monastic Fraternities of Jerusalem, sent from the mother-house of St-Gervais-et-St-Protais in Paris, have been living as a community on Mont-Saint-Michel. They replaced the Benedictine monks who returned to the Mount in 1966. They are tenants of the centre for national monuments and are not involved in the management of the abbey.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont-Saint-Michel

The community has seven sisters and four brothers. They live the mission that the Church has entrusted to them in their own charism of being "in the heart of the world" to be "in the heart of God". Their life revolves around prayer, work and fraternal life.[27] The community meets four times a day to recite the liturgical office in the abbey, or in the crypt of Notre-Dame des Trente Cierges in winter. In this way, the building keeps its original purpose as a place of prayer and singing the glory of God. The presence of the community attracts many visitors and pilgrims who come to join in the various liturgical celebrations. Energetic work to be carried out

This tour is based on different paths and energy work inside and outside Mont Saint Michel, which will be covered according to initiatory paths.

At each site, you'll be able to free yourself of certain aspects of "matter" and "put down your bags" (empty your mind, etc.), notably at the Black Madonna in the Salle des Gros Piliers on Mont Saint Michel, and receive the "light" as best you can by recharging yourself with good energy.

For this study, I used the plan of the Monuments Historiques, which shows the original seven bays of the nave, built around 1100. A fire destroyed the church in 1776, and the first three bays and the façade were demolished. Today, all that remains at this point is a simple exterior terrace, on which, however, we can find the three lowering points marking the crossing of the Jordan and the entry into the rectangle of human passions. The use here is both very simple and very subtle, as the different levels of construction need to be made more dynamic. The axis of the nave corresponds to an underground water current. Two other streams, more or less equidistant from the first, flank the main nave and run through the axis of the chapels at the ends of the transept. Starting from the initial entrance, we can see that the former façade was built on a transverse stream of water. After the first bay, we come to the "Jordan" with its lowering point, then we cross the current façade and, in the axis of the sixth bay, we come to another lowering point marking the passage to the square of the spirit. Then comes the transept crossing, with a very wide geological fault, topped by a large stream of water. In the choir, where the altar stands, there is another fault surmounted by a stream of water, as well as two other cross-shaped faults. A large chimney corresponds to the diameter of the choir. This complex is located on the acupuncture point of the Orleans-Tours-Rouen triad, and obviously benefits from the protection of a guardian.

And it shall be that when you multiply and become fruitful in the land, in those days—the word of the LORD—they will no longer say, 'The Ark of the Covenant of the LORD' and it will not come to mind; they will not mention it, and will not recall it, and it will not be used any more . The Ark is first mentioned in the Book of Exodus and then numerous times in Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, I Samuel, II Samuel, I Kings, I Chronicles, II Chronicles, Psalms, and Jeremiah.

In the Book of Jeremiah, it is referenced by Jeremiah, who, speaking in the days of Josiah,[85] prophesied a future time, possibly the end of days, when the Ark will no longer be talked about or be made use of again:

And it shall be that when you multiply and become fruitful in the land, in those days—the word of the LORD—they will no longer say, 'The Ark of the Covenant of the LORD' and it will not come to mind; they will not mention it, and will not recall it, and it will not be used any more.

Rashi comments on this verse that "The entire people will be so imbued with the spirit of sanctity that God's Presence will rest upon them collectively, as if the congregation itself was the Ark of the Covenant."[86]

Second Book of Maccabees

See also: 2 Maccabees

According to Second Maccabees, at the beginning of chapter 2:[87]

The records show that it was the prophet Jeremiah who [...] prompted by a divine message [...] gave orders that the Tent of Meeting and the ark should go with him. Then he went away to the mountain from the top of which Moses saw God's promised land. When he reached the mountain, Jeremiah found a cave-dwelling; he carried the tent, the ark, and the incense-altar into it, then blocked up the entrance. Some of his companions came to mark out the way, but were unable to find it. When Jeremiah learnt of this he reprimanded them. "The place shall remain unknown", he said, "until God finally gathers his people together and shows mercy to them. The Lord will bring these things to light again, and the glory of the Lord will appear with the cloud, as it was seen both in the time of Moses and when Solomon prayed that the shrine might be worthily consecrated."

The "mountain from the top of which Moses saw God's promised land" would be Mount Nebo, located in what is now Jordan.

New Testament

Carrying the Ark of the Covenant: gilded bas-relief at Auch Cathedral, France

In the New Testament, the Ark is mentioned in the Letter to the Hebrews and the Revelation to St. John. Hebrews 9:4 states that the Ark contained "the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant."[88] Revelation 11:19 says the prophet saw God's temple in heaven opened, "and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple."[89]

The contents of the ark are seen by theologians such as the Church Fathers and Thomas Aquinas as personified by Jesus Christ: the manna as the Holy Eucharist; Aaron's rod as Jesus' eternal priestly authority; and the tablets of the Law, as the Lawgiver himself.[90][91]

Catholic scholars connect this verse with the Woman of the Apocalypse in Revelation 12:2,[92] which immediately follows, and say that the Blessed Virgin Mary is identified as the "Ark of the New Covenant."[93][94] Carrying the saviour of mankind within her, she herself became the Holy of Holies. This is the interpretation given in the third century by Gregory Thaumaturgus, and in the fourth century by Saint Ambrose, Saint Ephraem of Syria and Saint Augustine.[95] The Catholic Church teaches that Mary is a metaphorical version of the ark in the Catechism of the Catholic Church: "Mary, in whom the Lord himself has just made his dwelling, is the daughter of Zion in person, the ark of the covenant, the place where the glory of the Lord dwells. She is 'the dwelling of God [...] with men."[96]

In the Gospel of Luke, the author's accounts of the Annunciation and Visitation are constructed using eight points of literary parallelism to compare Mary to the Ark.[93][97]

Saint Athanasius, the bishop of Alexandria, is credited with writing about the connections between the Ark and the Virgin Mary: "O noble Virgin, truly you are greater than any other greatness. For who is your equal in greatness, O dwelling place of God the Word? To whom among all creatures shall I compare you, O Virgin? You are greater than them all O (Ark of the) Covenant, clothed with purity instead of gold! You are the Ark in which is found the golden vessel containing the true manna, that is, the flesh in which Divinity resides" (Homily of the Papyrus of Turin).[93]

Quran

The Ark is referred to in the Quran (Surah The Heifer: 248):[98]

Their prophet further told them, “The sign of Saul's kingship is that the Ark will come to you—containing reassurance [the Torah] from your Lord and relics of the family of Moses and the family of Aaron [i.e., the staff of Moses and fragments of the Tablets], which will be carried by the angels. Surely in this is a sign for you, if you ˹truly˺ believe.”

"The papacy inspires the same sentiment like the Roman goddess, Queen of Heaven, and leads its followers to consider Eve's sin in the same way as paganism did. as paganism. In the canon of the Mass, the most solemn service in the Roman

missal, we find the following expression in the apostrophe to the fault of our first parents:

"O beata culpa,quas talem meruisti Redemptorem!"

O blessed fault, which has provided us with such a Redeemer. -

The idea contained in these words is entirely pagan. Here's what they boil down to: "Thanks be to Eve, whose fault whose fault has obtained for us the glorious Savior." -

The idea of a primordial tradition emerged in Germany in the early 19th century as a consequence of the discovery of the great Eastern sacred texts: it enabled the universal claims of the biblical narrative to be transposed by assigning it a common ancestor with India, Persia and China. In fact, his approach remained marked by his Catholic training and the notion of apostolic tradition based on the two sources of truth: the Scriptures and transmission through the chain of the priesthood."This is the great connection between the physical and the and the spiritual, the earthly and the supersensible, which he wanted to present, as well as the way, which the

This is a question that man must always ask himself. Schiller had presented this problem in his own witty way in the "Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man".

This treatise, only little known and studied, is a

treasure trove for the one who sets out to solve this riddle. Goethe was inspired by it to express himself on the same question and he did so in the fairy tale "Green Snake and the beautiful Lily", which he later added to the "Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten" (conversations of German emigrants). The fairy tale "Green Snake and the beautiful lily" shows the development of the human soul to ever higher insight,

"In itself, the reality which we now call 'Christian religion' existed even among the ancients, and was present from the beginning of the human race until Christ came in the flesh; and it is in consequence of this coming, that the true religion existing from all time, began to be called Christian."

- Saint Augustine, Retractaciones, I, XII, 3

"My heart has become capable of every form: it is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks, and a temple for idols, and the Kaabah of the pilgrim, and the table of the Thorah and the book of the Qorân. I am the religion of Love, whatever road its camels take; my religion and my faith are the true religion."

Ibn Arabi (Tarjumân al-Ashwâq)

"As far as religions are concerned, only transcendent unity, achieved from above, is valid: the unity that results from the recognition of the One Tradition beyond its various particular and historical forms, the recognition of the constant metaphysical contents that present themselves in various guises - like so many translations into several "languages" - in the world's multiple religions and sacred traditions. The prerequisite, then, is an "esoteric" understanding of what manifests itself in the confusing and sometimes contradictory variety of religions and traditions. Encounter, therefore, can only take place at the top, at the level of elites capable of grasping the inner, transcendent dimension of the various traditions; then unity would automatically follow, and "dialogues" could take place without disturbing the limits proper to each tradition at the level of "base" and external doctrine. But there is nothing of the kind in the recent reformist initiatives that have given rise to "ecumenical euphoria". It's essentially a matter of simple tolerance that more or less renounces dogma."

Julius Evola (1898-1974)

For René Guénon, religious practice in general concerns only the exoteric, essentially social and moral, aspect of the Primordial Tradition. His knowledge is therefore intended to go beyond the religious point of view, without denying it, but assuming it in its entirety19. Epistemologically speaking, for traditionalists, metaphysical knowledge is not simply a matter of reason, but of intellectual intuition, which is supra-rational20. Knowledge of this hidden truth is therefore aimed at "metaphysical realization" through traditional initiatory rites that are distinct from mere religious rites and inaccessible to the majority. Christianity is, however, an exception for Frithjof Schuon and Jean Borella, for whom Christian sacraments are indeed initiatory. Be that as it may, the Traditional Method is in many respects a "method which is the opposite of a method, since it maintains the secrets, the trials". Beyond his rejection of modernity, Guénon rejected the autonomy and primacy of reason, in contradiction to the entire evolution of Western thought since the end of the Middle Ages, in favor of a purely spiritual "intellectual intuition". Such an approach led him to view the entire cosmos as an illusion destined to dissolve into divine unity at the end of time. These choices gave rise to two complementary features essential to the development of his system: 1) the existence of an original revealed datum, which the work of reason had first commented on and then distorted, and which he called "primordial Tradition", long predating Judeo-Christianity; a tradition handed down from master to disciple since the dawn of time; 2) the central role attributed to the forces of evil, the only "motor of history" driving the world into a slow, ineluctable "descent".

The concept of "intellectual intuition" is rather difficult to grasp. Guénon also rejects mysticism. Does this "intellectual intuition" correspond to the spirit of the classical body-soul-spirit triptych (with reason referring to the body and mysticism to the soul)? Things change when we consider, beyond the method of approach, the nature of knowledge: what Guénon calls pure intellectual intuition is immediate access to "Deity", to use Master Eckhardt's language, beyond the revealed God. It refers to that identification with God himself which led the Sufi master al-Hallaj to martyrdom, and to what other great spiritualists, recognized by Guénon himself as esoteric, have called mysticism.

The Two Babylons, subtitled Romanism and its Origins, is a book that started out as a religious pamphlet published in 1853 by the Presbyterian Free Church of Scotland theologian Alexander Hislop (1807–65). Its central theme is the argument that the Catholic Church is the Babylon of the Apocalypse which is described in the Bible.[1] The book delves into the symbolism of the image which is described in the Book of Revelation – the woman with the golden cup – and it also attempts to prove that many of the fundamental practices of the Church of Rome, and its Modus Operandi in general, stem from non-scriptural precedents. It analyzes modern Catholic holidays, including Christmas and Easter, and attempts to trace their roots back to pagan festivals. It also attempts to show that many other accepted doctrines (such as Jesus' crucifixion on a Cross) may not be correct. Hislop provides a detailed comparison of the ancient religion which was established in Babylon (allegedly by the Biblical king Nimrod and his wife, Semiramis) by drawing on a variety of historical and religious sources, in order to show that the modern Papacy and the Catholic Church are the same system as the Babylon that was mentioned by the apostle Paul in the first century (when he commented on the iniquity that was already creeping into the 1st century Christian church and the author of Revelation. Most modern scholars have rejected the book's arguments as erroneous and based on a flawed understanding of the Babylonian religion, but variations of them are accepted among some groups of Christian religious evangelical Protestants. The book was expanded in 1858, going through many editions. A 3rd edition was published in 1862, a 7th in 1871, (thus, a mere six years after the author's death, four successive posthumous editions had already appeared), and a popular edition in 1903.

Description

Hislop builds on the Panbabylonian school of Hyperdiffusionism, which was common in the 19th century, to argue that Classical and Ancient Near Eastern civilization took its inspiration from Babylon. From this he derives the argument that the mystery religions of Late Antiquity were actually offshoots of one ancient religion founded at the Tower of Babel. Panbabylonism has since been relegated to pseudohistory by 20th-century scholars. Much of Hislop's work centers on his association of the legendary Ninus and his semi-historical wife Semiramis with the Biblical Nimrod as her husband and her son, with their incestuous male offspring being Tammuz. Hellenistic histories of the Ancient Near East tended to conflate their faint recollections of the deeds of ancient kings into legendary figures who exerted far more power than any ancient king ever did. In Assyria, they invented an eponymous founder of Nineveh named Ninus, who supposedly ruled 52 years over an empire comparable to the Persian Empire at its greatest extent. Ninus' wife Semiramis was in turn a corruption of the historical figure Shammuramat, regent of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from 811 BC.[10] Hislop takes Ninus as a historical figure and associates him with the Biblical figure Nimrod, though he was not the first to do so. The Clementine literature made the association in the 4th Century AD. An influential belief throughout the Middle Ages was that Ninus was the inventor of idolatry,[11] a concept that Hislop clearly drew upon. However, Hislop wrote before the historical records of the ancient near east had been thoroughly decoded and studied, that cast doubt in the decades after he wrote whether there was any such figure as Ninus, and the Greek authors whom he quoted lacked credibility on the subject. The Two Babylons heavily relies on Austen Henry Layard's publications of his excavations at Nineveh, which had only been just discovered in 1851. This gave his work an appearance of being well-researched at the time of its publication. For example, Hislop linked the name of Easter with Astarte, the Phoenician fertility goddess by citing Layard's recent discovery of Astarte's Assyrian name, Ishtar, which Hislop took to be "identical" to Easter. What means the term Easter itself? It is not a Christian name. It bears its Chaldean origin on its very forehead. Easter is nothing else than Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven, whose name, as pronounced by the people Nineveh, was evidently identical with that now in common use in this country. That name, as found by Layard on the Assyrian monuments, is Ishtar.

Relief of the Babylonian goddess Ishtar, whose name Hislop incorrectly claimed to be the root behind the English word Easter

Hislop's claim that Easter is derived from Ishtar is rejected by historical linguists and is an example of folk etymology. Philologists derive the word Easter from Old English Ēostre, the name of a West Germanic goddess. Ēostre derives from the Proto-Germanic goddess name *austrōn-, whose name in turn derives from the Proto-Indo-European deity and personified dawn *h₂ewsṓs (from the Proto-Indo-European root *aus-, meaning 'to shine' and thus 'dawn, east'). Other dawn goddesses who developed from *h₂ewsṓs include Latin Aurora, Ancient Greek Eos, and Vedic Sanskrit Ushas.[14][15][16] Ishtar, however, is unrelated. Ishtar is a Semitic name of uncertain etymology, possibly taken from the same root as Assyria, or from a semitic word meaning "to irrigate". Hislop ultimately claimed to trace Catholic doctrines back to the worship of Nimrod, asserting that the Catholic Church represented Whore of Babylon of the Book of Revelation and that "the Pope himself is truly and properly the lineal representative of Belshazzar." He claimed that the Christogram IHS, the first three Greek letters in the name of Jesus, represented Latin characters standing for Isis, Horus and Seb.

Analysis

In the note by the editor of the 7th edition, which was published in 1871, it was claimed, "that no one, so far as we are aware, has ventured to challenge the accuracy of the historical proofs adduced in support of the startling announcement on the title page." Since then, however, there have been many who have challenged the accuracy of Hislop's claims. For example, Lester L. Grabbe has highlighted the fact that Hislop's entire argument, particularly his association of Ninus with Nimrod, is based on a misunderstanding of historical Babylon and its religion.[4] Grabbe also criticizes Hislop for portraying the mythological queen Semiramis as Nimrod's consort, despite the fact that she is never even mentioned in a single text associated with him, and for portraying her as the "mother of harlots",[4] even though this is not how she is depicted in any of the texts where she is mentioned. In 2011, a critical edition was published. Although Hislop's work is extensively footnoted, some commentators (in particular Ralph Woodrow) have made the assertion that the document contains numerous misconceptions, fabrications, logical fallacies, unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, and grave factual errors.

Influence

Some fundamentalist Protestants still regard Hislop's book as proof that the Roman Catholic Church is, in fact, the continuation of the ancient Babylonian religion. In 1921 A. W. Pink confidently asserted that Hislop's work had "proven conclusively that all the idolatrous systems of the nations had their origin in what was founded by that mighty Rebel, the beginning of whose kingdom was Babel."[20] Jehovah's Witnesses' periodical The Watchtower frequently published excerpts from it until the 1980s.[21][better source needed] The book's thesis has also featured prominently in the conspiracy theories of racist groups such as The Covenant, The Sword, and the Arm of the Lord and other fringe groups. Anti-Catholic Evangelical publisher Jack Chick endorsed the book, and his store still offers it. non-primary source needed] A number of Seventh-day Adventists still use The Two Babylons as source material. An example is the somewhat controversial Walter Veith, who still use the conclusions from Hislop's book to support his articles published at the website "Amazing Discoveries". Adventist magazine Spectrum, however, dismisses Veith as a conspiracy theorist. As well, various viral image posts have appeared on the internet, usually in neopagan or atheist spaces, citing Hislop's theory of Easter being etymologically derived from Ishtar, as well as adding in more misleading pieces such as claiming Ishtar's symbols were the "bunny" and the "egg". This view has been echoed by the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science, who has since redacted the claim.[

This book has been reissued many times. Its first publication was in 1916. The edition I read was printed in 1965. The title has one of those old lengthy subtitles underneath it: “Or, the Papal worship proved to be the worship of Nimrod and his wife.” I guess the subtitle about sums it up. The author carefully examines the various elements of Roman Catholicism and concludes in each case that it has its foundation in the ancient religion and practices of old Babylon as opposed to New Testament Christianity. The topics covered include: mitres, robes, candles, rosaries, statues, crosses, fishes, festivals, doctrines, developments and much more. It is pretty comprehensive, at least up until the date when it was written. The book will also go some way to explaining the origins of ‘the gods’ showing that they were founded upon the patriarchs and their deeds. The style of this book is more suited to academics and particularly those who are familiar with classical mythology. Neither of which describes myself and I would have to admit that much of the finer detail went over my head. The book can be made easier to comprehend and considerably shortened by not reading the frequent and lengthy footnotes. Why am I recommending this book? Well, quite simply the subject matter in hand is of such vital importance to God’s children. Many through woeful ignorance have been seduced into thinking that Catholicism is somehow ‘Christian’. This book is something of a standard work when it comes to exposing, not just a few ‘errors’ in Catholicism, but the entire system for what it is really all about. From both history and doctrine Mr Hislop shows overwhelmingly that the origins and practices of this religion are founded upon ancient Babylonian mysticism. Whether it is through this particular book or one of the many others that have been ably written on this subject I think that every one who is a believer in the biblical Gospel should acquaint himself with the facts of what that religion is really all about. There is no inference whatsoever in this book that anyone should have cause to despise catholic people. It focuses purely on the facts of the development of the system and concludes, just as many others do, that God has one specific word to those who are caught up with this ‘Alternative Church’ – “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins.” In conclusion, this particular book may not be the one for everyone on this subject, but those with a slightly more academic bent will appreciate the carefully researched detail and its presentation.

Primordial Tradition is Perennialism's idea that a single metaphysical truth intrinsically links all sacred traditions to an original revelation, the cause of which is non-human (divine). This truth, intrinsic to all traditions, constitutes the unique "Universal and Unanimous Tradition "1, which can be discovered through the multiple symbolic, mythical and ritual correspondences shared by the various sacred traditions of mankind.Developing the concept of Perennis Philosophia, the concept of Primordial Tradition has been theorized and problematized in contemporary times by the "School of Tradition "2 . This school is made up of writers, philosophers, anthropologists, historians and essayists from various religious denominations, whose founder and principal representative is the metaphysician René Guénon. For him, Primordial Tradition refers to humanity's oldest tradition, of meta-historical origin, which is "common to all authentic and 'orthodox' traditions, whose traces and signs appear very legibly in the symbols, rites and myths "3 of the various "traditional forms" or observable religions. Primordial Tradition is a concept that refers to the founding myths of mankind's various sacred traditions, such as the earthly paradise of the Bible, the Golden Age of Greco-Roman mythology or the Hindu krita yugaAS 1. Intimately linked to intuitive and intellectual knowledge of the "Ultimate Principle", Primordial Tradition thus designates a state of spiritual being that man lost during the Fall, and which he must regainAS 2 through metaphysical knowledge, both speculative (oral or written teaching) and operative (ritual initiation). The traditionalist imaginary is thus attentive to what each observable orthodox tradition says, and draws from their common account of a golden age the conclusion of a "Revelation, or primitive illumination of human thought". The starting point is therefore that the unity of the Principle of reality, God, is matched by the unity of a primordial revelation, expressed and revealed in the various sacred traditions of mankind. The traditionalist therefore gives equal credence to the accounts of the different "religions" as legitimate testimonies to the same original metaphysical experience. The "Traditional Method" thus endeavours to "discover an essential unity or equivalence of symbols, forms, myths, dogmas and disciplines beyond the varied expressions that the contents may have in the different historical traditions", with the aim of "bringing out the universal character of a symbol or teaching by comparing it with other corresponding symbols belonging to other traditions, in order to establish the presence of something superior and anterior to each of these formulations, different from each other, but nevertheless equivalent". The School of Tradition's approach is therefore not limited to the religious realm, but penetrates what it considers to be its inner, metaphysical aspect. From this perspective, the "synthesis" it intends to make of the various doctrinal expressions is not a "syncretism", as it does not intend to mix rites, symbols or myths, but to draw comparisons between them. Indeed, "Syncretism consists in bringing together, from the outside, elements that are more or less disparate and which, seen in this way, can never really be unified; in short, it's just a kind of eclecticism, with all that eclecticism always entails in terms of fragmentation and incoherence. This is something purely external and superficial; the elements taken from all sides and brought together artificially in this way only ever have the character of borrowings, incapable of being effectively integrated into a doctrine worthy of the name. Synthesis, on the other hand, is essentially performed from within; by this we mean that it properly consists in considering things in the unity of their very principle, in seeing how they derive and depend on this principle, and thus uniting them, or rather becoming aware of their real union, by virtue of a link that is all interior, inherent in what is deepest in their nature."

The preliminary for carrying out this enormous scheme have at length begun; and we are enabled this week illustrate the manner and situation of the initiatory' works, which are being proceeded with as rapidly as the difficult an complicated nature of the several arrangements will permit. Our Engraving shows the progress already made at a point near where the embankment will commence—namely, close to Westminster Bridge. Here we find piles being driven in, and scaffolding of an extensive character being erected to support and carry the heavy cranes to be used in sinking caissons. This part of the work is preparatory to forming a cofferdam, and thereafter proceeding with excavations for a solid foundation, which must necessarily be laid very deep to be sufficiently permanent. The caissons are twelve feet by seven, and the coffer-dams formed by them are remarkable for being constructed, not of timber, as is usually the case, but of iron, which, it is thought, will afford great advantages over the old-fashioned material. It is now some six or seven weeks since these labours began, and already the public may trace, by means of piles which mark the outline of the works along the river, the form of the proposed structure; but the chief attention of the contractor is at present confined to the immediate vicinity of Westminster Bridge, to its so-called “special” works for a handsome steam-boat landing-stage, and to a part of the river opposite Whitehall. Mr. Furness, who is just completing the northern outfall works for the main drainage, between Stratford and Barking, has undertaken the contract with the Metropolitan Board of Works for the portion of the Thames Embankment between Westminster and Waterloo Bridges for the sum of £520,000. The works comprise, beside the open roadway and the approaches to the river, two distinct subterranean features – a subway immediately below the road in which gas and water pipes and telegraph wires will be laid, so as to avoid the necessity of breaking up the road whenever repairs of these are needed; and beneath the subway a great sewer, forming part of the system of low-level drainage lately planned. The foundations for these enormous works will be laid about 14 ft. beneath low-water mark, in the lower portion of a bed of gravel averaging between 15 ft. and 27 ft. in thickness, whose substratum is solid London clay. The length of the embankment between Westminster and Waterloo Bridges. will be about 7000 ft., and its width will vary, to suit the bend of the river, from 130ft. to 450 ft. It will commence at the northern abutment of Westminster Bridge, and will be continued (in a line with the embankment fronting the Houses of Parliament on the western side of the bridge) by a curve to the northern brick pier of Hungerford Railway Bridge, and thence to Waterloo Bridge. as we have already stated. Beyond that point, although the embankment is to be carried as far as Blackfriars, no immediate action upon the part of the authorities seems probable, and it is feared that considerable delay will be created by the demands of the Benchers of the Temple, who, reasonably enough, desire to take every possible security against any undue interference with the Temple Gardens. According to statements heretofore published, the width of the embankment (which seems to have already tempted railway projectors into schemes for utilising it after their own fashion) will be varied to an extent which is best indicated in the following manner:–At Richmond-terrace and in front of the Duke of Buccleuch's house and grounds (at one time so much talked of in connection with the opposition before the Parliamentary Committee to this enterprise) the embankment will be 200 ft. wide; at Hungerford Bridge the channel is broadened by a bend in the stream, and the embankment will be wide in proportion – namely, 400 ft.; at the end of Buckingham-street this breadth will become still greater – namely, 450 ft.; but from that part it diminishes until, at Salisbury-street end, it is reduced to 300 ft.; and at Waterloo Bridge to even about half the last-named width. The level of the Embankment will be about 5 ft. above Trinity high-water mark, so that there will be a slight incline at Westminster Bridge from the road to the embankment level of 1 in 80 ft. The great sewer beneath will commence at Westminster Bridge, at about the level of low water, and will be continued, with a fall of about 2 ft. per mile, past Blackfriars, along the river side by Tower-hill, and onwards in the direction of Stratford, where it is intended to be pumped into the middle-level sewer. At this very early stage we need not enter fully into a description of the whole of the proposed works, parts of which will very probably be modified whilst in progress., so as suit the necessities and difficulties which will arise in the course of their being made. We shall watch their progress with much interest, and provide our readers from time to time with accounts and sketches of the more interesting features of this gigantic labour.

The Development of Economical Utilities for Handling Raw Material

By Waldon Fawcett

"Easily the most interesting as well as the most significant advancement in this broad field is found in the introduction of improved methods for the handling of those two most important commodities coal and iron, the latter embracing of course a variety of forms from iron ore to finished steel. Indeed, in the case of the most useful of metals there has been evolved a cordon of mechanical devices, the functions of which so supplement each other that from the time the ore leaves the mine until it has been transformed into marketable iron or steel the factor of manual labor directly applied, is practically eliminated.

The initiatory machine in this chain is found in the steam shovel which takes the iron ore from the 'open pit' mines of the Lake Superior district and later is called into requisition to transfer the ore from the stock piles at the mines to the railroad cars provided to carry it either direct to the blast furnaces or to the vessels wherein it will be given water carriage to the Great Lakes. The steam shovels for the latest approved practice range in weight from fifty-five to ninety-five tons and in this feature alone is afforded ample evidence of progress, for but a few years since the shovels of thirty-five or forty-five tons weight were deemed sufficient for all the exactions imposed by this work. The shovels now in use have dippers ranging in capacity from two and one half to five yards, and something of the celerity of movement with which they are operated may be appreciated from the fact that on many occasions ordinary railroad cars are loaded with ore and pushed out of the way of the machine at the rate of one every two minutes."

It may seem at ordinary passage. But I felt it was different as I passed by. The light, the shadows, the old walls created a mysterious passage to a parallel world full of light. A sort of captivating initiatory passage. Cluny, France

Il ressemblait à un passage ordinaire. Et pourtant… la lumière, les ombres, les vieux murs et pavés l’ont rendu intéressant. On aurait dit qu’il marquait le passage vers un monde parallèle, plein de mystères. Cluny, France

This week was…remarkable.

Tuesday, I started the week FINALLY starting my museum inventory project.

Wednesday, I did the FIRST annual Temple to Temple 5k run. It was fantastic! No where else in the world are there two temples within 3 miles of each other. We ran from the Provo temple to the Provo City Center temple site. There were nearly 5000 people running.

Thursday, I started the morning doing initiatories and an endowment session in the SLC Temple for the first time since I received my own endowment in that temple. It was just as beautiful as I remembered and I was grateful to go back.

After my session I met my dear friend Bruce and professor Cyndy on temple square to help give Bruce a tour of temple square. It was really enjoyable and wonderful to have Bruce here.

Friday, we celebrated Bug’s birthday in the canyon with a picnic and games. I had invited Bruce and Cyndy the day before and we spent a glorious afternoon playing, hiking, and talking. We taught Bruce many of our dorky family games like “groundsies” and “ninja destruction”. After games we hiked the 2 miles down to Bridal Veil Falls and Deruda got to spend some time with Bruce doing some missionary work.

Friday night Deruda opened his mission call - FRANKFURT, GERMANY!!! The entire family was there and we were all thrilled!!!

Saturday, I went with Jon and Morgan back home to Tooele to attend the wedding reception of a dear friend from high school. It was hard for me to be back in Tooele but I appreciated the time I was able to spend with Jon and Morgan. Jon even took us to the track and we timed him as he ran a lap around the old track in his suit and tie.

This week was…huge but in looking back I can seem a general theme and that was temple, family, and the peace the gospel brings. I was so grateful this week to visit 3 separate temples, spend time with my entire family, and see the miracle of the gospel as Deruda received his mission call. What a crazy week!!!

Ottawa, Above/Ground Press, 2oo6. issued as Stanzas 43.

distressing enough when these cutesie little prose games were appearing as a column in Word years ago (admittedly keeping appropriate company), it's even more of a strike against Canadian literature in general that these've been issued collected -- & "more" of them now, as if the first volley around wasn't enough.

it's "distressing" because there's a considerable body of pataphysical work that came outta Toronto in the 198os that demonstrated working principles of altering one's conceptual reality (as did Alfred Jarry's initiatory work in this area) & Harris seems to take it all into the realm of vaguely intellectual jokes wrapped in a kind of Carebears level of delivery that suggests these were amusements she baffled her kids with at bedtime.

what they are not is "amusing".

what they are is a kind of sad evidence of Harris's superficial aping of a technique of perception she has obvious admiration for but no concept of how it can actually be made to function. handing off these wordgames as her contribution to the science of pataphysics does disservice all around except in the way it confirms an impression gleaned from other of her work that there's not much point to bothering to notice whatever's going on in her little "Aisle Of Ewe" world (as i'm fond of quoting (via Dave Geiser), "If you see sheep, look for a slaughterhouse nearby.").

D&D NPC. Gnoll Druid, Geedor the Bird-King.

The creature who's true name is Geedor, is known through out the civilized world as by the epithet "The Bird-King", and is one of the most reviled and wanted criminal mercenaries in the known world.

Geedor hails from the frozen wastes of Karak (http://www.regentum.org/page/karak), a barren place where packs of Gnolls where driven off to ages ago and over the centuries evolved into a distinct ethnic culture amongst Gnolls as a whole.

Geedor was born with an innate magical ability that was left undeveloped for many years, and like the majority of the young males in his tribe he was trained to hunt, to fight and to craft the items his people needed to survive(Born with Sorcerer class).

His tribal Elder's took note however to his degree of physical prowess, natural cunning and unique talents and groomed him to become a highly skilled hunter, warrior, and tracker (Trained to have the ranger class).

Towards his approach of adulthood a conflict broke out between Geedor's tribe and a scouting band from a clan of Frost Giants'. Although the Gnolls' managed to kill the Giants, one of the Giants managed to spoil a whale carcass that they had been living off of. So instead the Gnolls' opted to eat the Giant remains. Unknown to the Gnolls' however the Giants were incubating a disease that quickly spread through most of the tribe, including the Druid-Shaman who advised the Chieftain and provided magical protection.

Geedor was chosen by the Druid to be his successor. Geedor was given a crash course in Gnoll oral traditions, various cultural practices, sacred lore, and off alone by himself on an initiatory journey. The Druid sent Geedor off to a lonely ravine that cracked open into a knot of tunnels held sacred by the Gnolls. The place was called "Er-Ghu" and was said to be a place where the Gnolls' Demon-God Yeenoghu sent a material extension of himself to breed a line of Gnoll-Lords in the early days of the Gnolls' arrival to Karak.

Deep with in the bowels of "Er-Ghu" Geedor came upon a crevasse that he managed to clear away, and he found himself with in a hot spring lined with phosphorescent moss the glowed a vibrant purple, and he quickly found out had potent hallucinatory properties.

Geedor spent weeks with in the earth, under the ice, inside of himself, and with in the steaming waters living off of blind cave fish and communing and fornicating with semi-real illusions of multi-limbed horned Gnoll women who indulged him in arcane secrets and base pleasure. When he departed Geedor emerged from the tunnels a Druid (Making him at this point sorcerer/ranger/druid- 1/1/1/).

Geedor expected to return home and use his new found powers to exert control and influence over his tribe members, but instead returned to find them all dead and village destroyed. The Frost had returned in full force and made short order of the Gnolls, most of whom were ill. Salvaging what he could he left his area in south western Karak and headed eastward hoping to find a place with another a Gnoll tribe he could slowly take over.

After a few months of isolation and mastering his new skills, Geedor wandered along the southern coast at the on set of spring and met a band of Gnoll raiders who were gathering to ride the seasons melting ice floats with their kayaks in order to sneak into other lands in the cover of the floating ice.

Geedor quickly won their confidence and with in a few days was off along the ice flow with them. After a week at open sea the Gnolls spotted a ship that they were drifting close to. When they saw that the ship was turning to avoid smacking into the ice, the Gnolls made off in pursuit with their Kayaks, and raided the ship, a human merchant vessel.

Geedor and this band of Gnolls lived as pirates for the next few years, and it was during this period that Geedor made his initial criminal, pirate, and mercenary contacts. His power as a druid grew and would take the form of either killer whales or polar bears in his increasingly daring raids.

Then one day his raiding band was attacked by privateers and forced to crashed into the very northern most coast of the Regentum land mass. Geedor survived by transforming into an Albatross and left his cohorts for dead. Though he found that he was being still hunted, so he he flew, and flew, until he came upon the ruins of Caahigon which lay to the immediate north of Guidane.

Hidden amongst the ruins for several days Geedor discovered an unusual broken object that while he could sense was magic in nature, he could not figure out for the life of him what it was. But he picked up a piece of it, a portion that was made from a large bird skull, and wore it upon his head. He found over time that bird skull could allow him to fly sporadically, control birds, see through their eyes and even summon one of the colossal Roc from time to time. He then fashioned the skull into a head dress and his life took a drastically different turn. He escaped the ruins on the back of a Roc and flew into his new future.

Although in years to come his exploits would dub him the "Bird-King", it was inadvertently humorous to him for he doesn't have any particular affinity for birds, he merely was lucky to find the magic bird skull. The Bird-King does however play up the mystique of this false pretense to throw people off from genuinely gaining insights into his real intentions. He has on many occasions gone as far as to hire Kenku agents to perform tasks on his behalf, though a great deal of Kenku, particularly those along the east coast of Regentum do not like him and take him to be persona non grata.

The Bird-King has the unique distinction of being the only one to have destroyed a Regentum military airship, which showed them just how vulnerable the new ships were to aerial attack. This feat was assumed by Regentum to part of the Druid campaign of eco-terrorism and religious warfare, but unknown to them the Bird-King really has no part of the Druid culture at large. He sees himself as a lone predator who seeks to maintain his position in the food chain and nothing else.

This act and his later act of helping a former Regentum Ranger who turned into a criminal drug trafficker escape the country has made the Bird-King one of top most wanted criminals in the world. Over the years he has managed to rack up bounties from the Dwarves of Rolheim, Regentum, the Elven Lands, Yallaam, Sorgal, Guidane, and Nijiro.

He his unwelcome in any civilized territory, and spends his time in various hide outs between Karak, the mountains of Brennendale, and the mountains between Hados and Lu' Hadej.
