"Pourquoi la Résurgence de l'Ordre du Temple? Tome Premier: Le Corps" ("Why a Revival of the Order of the Solar Temple? Vol. One: The1 Body") 1975

The Round church(?) of Trondheim, Norway.
The old name for Trondheim means Serpent.

"Me l'an donat, l'ai panat, l'ai parat é bé lo teni"

So I guess Roscoe you're trying to say we should be looking at Trondheim, Norway not Rennes Le Chateau for the pentacled temple courtesy of the Da Vinci Code.

the translation and understanding of the word panat is usually not quite explained correctly., because....
panat (volé)...it means to steal.

for example: On m'a volé mon sac = Qué m'ann panat lou sac
On m'a volé mon appareil photo dans le train = M'an panat l'aparelh fòto dins lo trin


Panar, pana "voler, dépouiller". Un visiteur confirme: "pana était utilisé couramment par mon père au sens de "raoubar", càd "dérober" ( to rob en anglais). " Il s'agit d'un mot languedocien et gascon, avec quelques attestations en franco-provençal de Lyon, probablement par emprunt à l'occitan.

To steal or to rob.

and.....

parar = protéger, défendre; garder les bêtes; garde, surveillance (action de surveiller)

From Latin parāre, present active infinitive of parō. (first-person singular present paro, past participle parat)

to stop
to stay, to reside temporarily
to end up
to hold out, to display

Patrick, the serpent, Babaos and Perillos
In Ireland, the Sunday preceding the festival of Lammas, pilgrims, sometimes on bare feet, hike their way up Croagh Patrick, where St Patrick was said to have entered into combat with the demons, and where he is said to have stayed for forty days. There was a purpose to this action: before, the mountain was dedicated to a pagan saint: Crom Cruach (Crom of the bad odour).
Legend has it that St Patrick chased away all serpents, throughout Ireland – indeed, no serpent exists in Ireland today. The manner in which he conquered this divine serpent is intriguing. Her main residence was, as mentioned, at Croagh Patrick, from which she is chased away. She flees to the north (in the direction of the star Draco, the dragon), but is followed by Patrick. In a celestial combat, apparently taking place in mid air, Patrick slays the serpent, cutting her up in several pieces, which fall towards the earth… and become the islands in Lough Derg. It is one of these islands that becomes the famous “St Patrick’s Purgatory”, where we later see the arrival of Ramon de Perillos, making enquiries about the whereabouts and condition of the soul of his king, Juan I.

They gave it to me so I stole it, I prepared it and I am holding on to it.

It doesn't fit the simple money explanation, not in French or Occitan.

Abbe de Coma received a donation from the Countess of Chambord, as would Abbe Saunière, several decades later. Like Saunière, de Coma used the donation to initiate elaborate building projects and restorations, often in homage to Mary Magdalene. He called his estate Carol. De Coma's building works represented an attempt to recreate the biblical "Gethsemane", or garden of the Mount of Olives where the biblical Passion of Christ took place. He even imported trees and plants indigenous to Palestine. Ironically, Carol is not far from Perillos, a village that has produced considerable controversy in recent years as a result of the claim that it in fact is the real Gethsemane; complete with the tomb of Jesus Christ.

Based on such interpretations and archaeological evidence, it is now generally accepted that L'Anse Aux Meadows was the main base of the Norse explorers, but the southernmost limit of the Norse exploration remains a subject of intense speculation.

The earliest Byzantine record of the Rus' may have been written prior to 842. It is preserved in the Greek Life of St. George of Amastris, which speaks of a raid that had extended into Paphlagonia. Contemporary Byzantine presence of the Rus are the mentioned in the Frankish Annals of St. Bertin. These relate that Emperor Louis the Pious' court at Ingelheim, in 839, was visited by a delegation from the Byzantine emperor. In this delegation there were two men who called themselves Rhos (Rhos vocari dicebant). Louis enquired about their origins and learnt that they were Swedes. Fearing that they were spies for their brothers, the Danes, he incarcerated them.

In 860, from Kiev, that the Rus under Askold and Dir launched their first attack on Constantinople. The result of this initial attack is disputed, but the Varangians continued their efforts as they regularly sailed on their monoxyla down the Dnieper into the Black Sea. The Rus' raids into the Caspian Sea were recorded by Arab authors in the 870s and in 910, 912, 913, 943, and later. Although the Rus had predominantly peaceful trading relations with the Byzantines, the rulers of Kiev launched the relatively successful naval expedition of 907 and the abortive campaign of 941 against Constantinople, as well as Sviatoslav I's large-scale invasion of the Balkans in 968–971.

These raids were successful in the sense of forcing the Byzantines to re-arrange their trading arrangements; militarily, the Varangians were usually defeated by the superior Byzantine forces, especially in the sea and due to the Byzantines' use of Greek fire.

Tabula Smaragdina




There are three annual meteor showers associated with Draco – starting with the Delta Draconids. Each year between March 28 and April 7, the Earth begins to pass into the meteoroid stream, and bright streaks will seem to emanate from the sky at a point near the Cepheus border. This meteor shower activity peaks on or near the date of April 7 and the fall rate averages about 5 per hour at maximum. These are known to be very slow meteors, so observe when the constellation is at its highest and watch for long trails! On June 20th, the Delta Draconid meteor shower peaks.


Saint Patrick's Day is March 17th. And when you add the days Pope Gregory removed becomes March 28th.

Ancient riddle.

If we viewed our sun from space it would be a peach pink.

There is no absolute standard for drafting a compass rose, and each school of cartographers seems to have developed their own. In the earliest charts, north is indicated by a spearhead above the letter T (for tramontana). This symbol evolved into a fleur-de-lys around the time of Columbus, and was first seen on Portuguese maps. Also in the 14th century, the L (for levante) on the east side of the rose was replaced with a cross, indicating the direction to Paradise (long thought to be in the east), or at least to where Christ was born (in the Levant).

The colors on the figure are supposedly the result of the need for graphic clarity rather than a mere cartographical whim. On a rolling ship at night by the light of a flickering lamp, these figures had to be clearly visible. Therefore the eight principle points of the compass are usually shown on the *compass rose in black which stands out easily. Against this background, the points representing the **half-winds are typically colored in blue or green and since the quarter-wind points are the smallest, they are usually colored red.

The image shows a copy of the Beatus Map which is preserved in Saint-Sever abbey, France. The map is faced eastwards, and not northwards, as usual in modern cartography. For this reason it is said that the map is oriented.[1]
The Beatus Map or Beatine Map is one of the most relevant cartographic works of the European High Middle Ages: It was originally drawn by the Spanish monk Beatus of Liébana, based on the accounts given by Saint Isidore of Seville, Ptolemy and the Holy Bible. Although the original manuscript is lost, there still remain several copies, which retain a high fidelity with respect the original.

The Map is shown in the prologue of the second book of Beatus' work Commentary on the Apocalypse. Its main goal is not to depict a cartographically exact depiction of the world and its continents, but to illustrate the primitive Diaspora of the Apostles.

A T and O map or O-T or T-O map (orbis terrarum, orb or circle of the lands; with the letter T inside an O), is a type of medieval world map, sometimes also called a Beatine map or a Beatus map because one of the earliest known representations of this sort is attributed to Beatus of Liébana, an 8th-century Spanish monk. The map appeared in the prologue to his twelve books of commentaries on the Apocalypse.
