The Rennes-le-Chateau mystery
The Merovingians returned to public attention more recently in a number of books seeking to solve the mystery of the tiny mountain top hamlet in the Languedoc in southern France called Rennes-le-Chateau. This was once one of the most important centres for the Priory of Sion, the Templars, the Cathars and many others in the ‘knowledge’ stream.
The area was once peopled by the Celts, the former Cimmerians and Scythians, from the Near East and the Caucasus Mountains, and Rennes-le-Chateau was called Rhedae after one of their tribes. It was worshipped as a sacred place by the Druids because again this is a region of immense magnetic power.
In the late 1960s a document of uncertain background called the Red Serpent or Le Serpent Rouge came to light in the National Library in Paris. It contained the genealogy of the Merovingians, two maps of France in the Merovingian period, and a ground plan of St Sulpice, the Roman Catholic centre for occult studies in Paris.
St Sulpice was built on the ruins of a temple to Isis/Semiramis and was a burial ground for Merovingian kings. Le Serpent Rouge was dated January 17th 1967, and the deposit slip at the National Library was dated February 15th. The latter turned out to be a forgery, however, and the real date it was deposited was March 20th. By this time all the alleged authors of the work, Pierre Feugere, Louis Saint-Maxent and Gaston de Koker, had died within 24 hours of each other on March 6–7.
But it gets even stranger because these three, it emerges, were not the authors at all. Someone, it is thought, had used the names of these three dead men as the authors to add more mystery to the tale. There were 13 days between the three deaths and the deposit of the document at the library. The 13 page document included short prose poems corresponding to each sign of the zodiac and it listed 13 signs.
It called the extra one, Ophiuchus (the Serpent Holder), which it placed between Scorpio and Sagittarius. The most important number to the Templars was 13, and there may have originally been13 signs to the zodiac. The text of Le Serpent Rouge, which appears to mention the landscape around Rennes-le-Chateau, presents a version of the Sleeping Beauty story in which the princess (female energy) is condemned to sleep until the handsome prince arrives to awaken her. This is also highly relevant to the number 13.
Le Serpent Rouge confirmed that Mary Magdalene was another symbol for Isis. It said:
“…Formerly some called her ISIS, queen of the beneficent sources, come to me all you sufferand who are overwhelmed and I will comfort you, others: Magdalene, of the famous vase full of healing balm. The initiates know her true name: Notre Dame Des Cross.”
The female energy and the reptilian bloodline are passed on through the female, and since the intervention of Ninkharsag and Enki this energy was symbolised by Mary, Isis and Semiramis, and was also known as Diana. Princess Diana was killed on an ancient Merovingian sacrificial site to the goddess Diana when her car struck the 13th pillar.
A cave at Sainte-Baume in southern France is an official Catholic shrine because, it is said quite wrongly, Mary Magdalene lived there. In fact, during Roman times that cave was a centre for the worship of the goddess Diana Lucifera - Diana the light bringer or Illuminatrix. This was the very name given to Mary Magdalene by Jacobus de Voragine, the Dominican Archbishop of Black Nobility.
One other interesting point is that while Templars throughout France were arrested and tortured after the purge by Phillipe the Fair in 1307, the ones in the Rennes-le-Chateau area at Le Bezu, le Valdieu and Blanchefort, were left alone. This area was quite obviously very important to the Templars and they were connected with the Blanchefort family at Chateau de Blanchefort, just two miles from Rennes-le-Chateau.
Some researchers believe that the Templars buried much of their gold near Rennes-le-Chateau. Certainly a third of all their European property was once to be found in the Languedoc region. The Romans, too, thought this area to be sacred and worshipped their Pagan gods here. By the 6th century, Rennes-le-Chateau was a thriving town of 30,000 people, the northern capital of the Visigoth empire which spread south across the Pyrenees into Spain.
The Visigoths were a Germanic or Teutonic people, the same as the later Teutonic Knights who emerged at the same time as the Templars. The Visigoths were again the descendents of the Cimmerians and the Scythians, the white peoples from the Caucasus. It was the Visigoths who swept out of central Europe to sack Rome and bring an end to Roman rule.
An ancient Visigoth chateau, the Chateau d’Hautpoul, still survives at Rennes-le-Chateau and it has an alchemist’s tower. Alchemy is the transformation of base man/woman into pure spirit, but it has another meaning too, the transformation of base metals into gold. The theory of this was summed up by the ancient Greek initiate, Aristotle, who taught Alexander the Great.
Aristotle was one of the world’s most famous philosophers. He was taught by Plato, who in turn was taught by Socrates. Aristotle said that the basis of the physical world was what he called prime or first matter. This, he said, was a non-physical energy which you could not see or touch. He believed that prime matter could manifest as physical form through the four elements of Earth, Fire, Water and Air. These elements are different from each other, but each is connected by a common bond of dryness, moisture, heat or cold. Every element has two of these qualities, one of which dominates.
Earth is cold and dry and dryness predominates. Fire is hot and dry and heat predominates. Water is moist and cold and cold predominates. Air is hot and moist and moistness predominates. The idea is that one element can be transformed into another through the bond they have in common, so Fire becomes air through the common bond of heat. Substances are made from the elements and if you can transform the elements into each other, you must be able to transform the substances the elements are made from.
For instance, lead can be changed into gold. There is, it is believed, a secret powder which is necessary for this transformation and it has become known as the Philosopher’s Stone. The d’Hautpoul family are said to have been holders of such secrets. The document, Le Serpent Rouge, when speaking of the 13th sign of the zodiac, Ophiuchus, says: “the base lead of my words may contain the purest gold”. This could well relate to the properties of the mono-atomic gold.....
