From the Emerald Tablet

translation by Isaac Newton from his alchemical writings

the French King Arthur's forest and where they think Munsalvæsche is, is in fact at Paimpont-Brocéliande near to Tréhorenteuc, Brittanny and is slap bang in the middle of mathematics teacher Patricia Hawkshaw's Pentagram and Hexagram as described on pages 204 and 205 of Henry Lincoln's Key to the Sacred Pattern. In case there are those who haven't read Key to the Sacred Pattern, Henry Lincoln puts forward a measurement of 188mm on the 1:25000 scale maps. Hawkshaw's pentagram and Hexagram conform to this measurement.

This is close to the City of Rennes of course and something else.

The village of Tréhorenteuc is on the same meridian as Roslin and something else.

In the bay above Britannyis the Island of Tombelaine that was once owned by Nicolas Fouquet.


Mont St Michel

Quote:

In the French region of Brittany, the island of Er Lannic, in the Gulf of Morbihan, contains the ruins of two circles of stones one of which completely submerged by water, the other only half in the surface. The place was at least 5000 years ago the top of a hill, and then, after the construction of the two megalithic complexes, was invaded by the lifting of the sea. Certainly it should not be an isolated case. Recent satellite observations suggest that even in the bottom of the north seas might lie the ruins of other oldest megalithic constructions, built before or during the end of last ice age, before the waters submerged the lands on which stood.

The Flood



St Michael Ley line

There are there I agree Jesus is the solar halo and Magdalene is the lunar
and look on the table cloth
the PENTACLES
and I believe there are 22 but they are hard to count


this is Sauniere's Altar built by him for Lourdes
notice the pattern if you look at the material on Mary's dress its a spiral also where Jesus is a four dots with a center

the spiral is the Fibranaci Spiral or celtic Spiral
and most Galaxies are in the shape of a spiral

Presumably you mean "Fibonacci".......

sorry I misspelled Fibonaci

Is that all?

just remarks about spelling and that I'm wrong

its a Masterpiece of stained glass

Look closer at the window shall we
Its beautiful and touching...sensual




so illuminating...that's what stained glass does it lets the light shine and through the stained glass the jewels of red, gold, emerald, and blue
come through

look Jesus and Mary are entwined touching like no others in the picture
Intimate and he is her King

To some she is anointing a King but to others its a caress
He is not pushing her away He's enjoying it
Its the union of opposites
male and female
he is above and she below
he in blue and she in red
His head pointing right and she is pointing left
He is sitting and she is kneeling
His front is to them and her back is to them
He has the larger jar and she has the smaller
AlChemical Marriage
Its Adam and Eve and the tempting snake that He has his foot on his head of the snake like hair and she is holding the snake like hair caressing it (Seduction of the snake)
the marriage of Red (blood) and white (purity) = pink
like the crusades banner Red and White


I look at the four men sitting at the table as being like the four angels (at Rennes in the Chapel)
who point in all the different directions
look at their heads one goes right the other left one up the other down
thing is and here is the saddest thing
in the church the angels are above the Demon holding them up
Mary Magdalene is in that position here...she's the Prostitute Penitent
the Demon is of Prostitution and Lust in the chapel

Its male domination over women ... this is the church

Is that the donor's name on the block or the stained glass maker's signature? is it HyFeur Stained glass was making a comeback in those days after being decimated by the Wars

I find the Mantra of your Wrong I'm right
your dumb I'm smart ...so childish in so many ways

Everything is Connected and there are no coincidences.
Believe me.
Same feather of a flock.

the stained glass window is illuminating

Since we talk about Adam and Eve and Genesis
the stained glass reflects that moment in time
"Let there be Light"

the Light of the Sun (Son) shines through and illuminates for all those who can see its majestic Light

the artist produces the work but this is a alchemical marriage in itself
Its the artist who says Look and See

and its up to the Viewer to participate

to See with the Light's illumination it reaches the soul

if it disturbs you to see it or moves you this is the power of illumination

I can see that some can not see this Light

HyFleur

There was a Fleury

(August 8, 1797 - May 5, 1890) was a French painter.

and he had a son who was a painter
He painted a favorite of mine and Roscoe might find this amusing



Its Galileo before the Holy Office

Lovuian you bring some perceptions here that had eluded me and they are appreciated.

However, I see no more than Christ's feet being washed and/or anointed.

Still, the "washing of feet" in biblical times had a distinct double entendre that one of which was the prelude to the consummation of marriage sexually or by unwed partners having fun.

This is best I can find on short notice and I won't paste it all due to"decencies" sake but the writer gets the point across well. Washing of feet also meant washing privates before love making. It was a slang term then and now in that part of the world.

I'm just quoting here and not in complete agreement either...not wanting to be flamed later!

Excerpts:



http://www.whosoever.org/v8i3/sex.shtml

is it HyFeur Stained glass was making a comeback in those days after being decimated by the Wars

Henri Feur, Peintre-Verrier of Bordeaux from whom Sauniere ordered his windows.
BTW Lovuian, which wars?
TD

Thank you
according to the book Stained Glass by Halliday and Lushington
the 17th and 18th century almost saw the extinction of stained glass

Masterpieces destroyed
it was the Great War
of Protestants and Catholics
In the Netherlands Calvinists reacted from Spain's repression by sacking the churches Henry the VIII break from Rome

it was the image of Mary that was being stamped out and not tolerated

1642 -1653 ivil War cromwell

Cantebury Cathedral suffered Lincoln Lichfield Petersborough
York was only spared because Fairfax was given a ton of wine

the thirty years Wars stamped out the workshops
then came the French Revolution
they destoryed the French churches
the 19th century revived it


I see there is a connection to another stained glass
by the same stained glass maker






I looked back in the archives for this one

http://www.societe-perillos.com/vitraux_rlc.html

I see the inscription of Sion on there interesting

usually a stained glass maker subtlety places his name on a work
this is definitely out there for all to see
on the floor where Magdalene is looking

If you look at his other works the HAlO as Roscoe points out
is not consistent
He places HALOS on the women and the Men except Jesus gets none

it was intimate especially for a man and a woman
I mean she used her hair and her tears to wash him
and used Spikenard the most expensive of oils




and we know it was expensive
it caused a ruckus

And it had great meaning

It was used as one of the Eleven Herbs for the Incense in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

Nard is mentioned twice in the biblical love poem, the Song of Solomon (1:12 and 4:13).
and we know how sensual that is
Song of Solomon 1:12
While the king is at his table, my perfume fills the air with its fragrance.


But its the Song of Solomon in 4:13 that is related here through the perfume

Its beautiful and as sensual and erotic as you can get
Its called the LOVER
Just giving you part of it

9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.

10 How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!

The Feet in the Tree of Life
represents
Malkuth ....Shekinah

But now TCJ if we go with your premise about the washing of feet
then

we have Genesis Genesis 18:4
Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree

But this is feet being washed by Water
such as Jesus does for all his Apostles
Gospel of John 13:1-15

He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

Now this is interesting
The Albigenses observed feetwashing in connection with communion

"St. Benedict's Rule (A.D. 529) for the Benedictine Order prescribed hospitality feetwashing in addition to a communal feetwashing for humility"; a statement confirmed by the Catholic Encyclopedia.


I will point out that this was all with water
She bathed him with her tears, hair, and perfume

Its different

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_washing

there are a couple of conficting sources in the New Testament (esp. about the tears: )

Luke 7:38:

<I>and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and kept wiping them with the hair of her head, and kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.</I>

John 12:3:

<I> Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.</I>

Now, if one accepts TCJ's earlier reference:



the Luke passage becomes a bit obscene...

Absolutely and that's why what small amount I did paste was partially set in bold to emphasize that it was feet, like those in dusty sandals.

Still, I'm quite certain that a bride of a royal line in those times did anoint her lover with oil prior to consummation.

That double entendre is a most positive fact and showing of the more open sexual mores of those times compared to now.

I will always chuckle at these modern 'promise keeper' fundamental groups that have stadiums of men washing the wives feet.

Well, not only in those times and not only of royal line. There are some practical reasons for the annointment... These days you can find such "oils" aplenty at the super marker of your choice

The washing of feet was also a sign of hospitality in those days - and reflective of the Jews' religious tenets on cleanliness, especially where food was being served. It was considered the height of bad manners for a host not to attend to this. Also, people ate reclining in those days, so no one wanted feet tainted with dust and animal poop on their furniture. And they didn't have soap in those days, so a little perfumed ointment was in order to kill the stink.

TCP

The Cathars observed feet washing as a connection with communion

Communion look at the setting
Jesus is at the table eating bread and wine look at the table

is this a Cathar Sacrament of Communion
in stained glass for us to see?

And I just can't imagine this scene if this woman was someone's wife,widow,or sister. To touch him this intimately had to be his wife only

Yes Luke goes to kissing his feet ...and all Judas is ticked off is the MONEY


And was Jesus anointed head and toe

they offered water
that was a sign of a good host

they didn't have a woman come in and rub your feet down with oil
and kiss them

there is a difference here

and may I say Mary Magdalene is caressing his feet
not holding his foot and scrubbing it
This is exotic very HINDU





http://www.sanatansociety.org/hindu_gods_and_goddesses/lakshmi.htm

And your reference source for this is...?



Sounds like you've been reading Starbird, Lov. It was the women of the household who were assigned the task of washing the dirt and manure off the feet of dinner guests if the master had no slaves.

TCP

Yes, of course, because 1st century Jews were all such good and devout Hindus.

You might want to spend a little time on Google and research the topic a little more carefully. Here would be a good place to start:

http://www.azete.com/preview/67737

"Foot washing was commonplace in Greco-Roman and the first-century Jewish culture and appears as a ritual of daily cleansing, as a religious act, or as a token of hospitality when someone first entered a home. This was a world where the roads were dusty and sandals were worn daily. In Luke 7:36-50 Simon the Pharisee's failure to wash Jesus' feet was correctly interpreted as a gesture of hostility. In Timothy 5:10 washing the feet of the saints may be a metaphor for humble service."

TCP

WHOAH Roger 6 or 7 feet
Get out of here!

Well you know women think the size of a man's foot is important
Hindu women were quite smart
Do some foot washing
and you will find a GREAT god who needs the little guys anyway

Here is the reference to the Cathars TCP
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_washing

It was their communion

remember guys this was a foot anointing ...not a washing
but now that we are talking about it... its a pretty intimate physical thing foot washing that he did with his Apostles ... and it was at the Last Supper
why wasn't it made part of the Mass

Hey it was Luke who wrote this sensual scene
and the Church left it in

the Stained glass REFLECTS LUKE
the caress is there
the tears and the long beautiful hair which that is sensual

if one wanted to make this woman come off beautiful they did

I believe Mr. Fleur the stained glass maker was very much in tuned and in the same SOCIETY as Sauniere

I do know something of the creative process of the stained glass master
if anybody thinks Sauniere told Fleur make it this and that way precisely
Fleur would have walked away from the contract

No Sauniere told him what he wanted and Fleur had the artistic license to do what he wanted once the contract was signed

thats the way it works

Fleur was part of this

With 4 others standing there
and at a dinner table nevertheless?

An unattributed line in a Wikipedia article?



It is in a Mass - the Mass of the Lord's Supper.

TCP

I agree that the scene reflects Luke, but there's one slight problem: that scene doesn't depict Mary Magdalene (in fact, none of the Gospel accounts of this scene identify the woman as Mary Magdalene). And there's no ointment in Luke's account. Just tears and hair, and an unnamed "sinner".



I believe the gentleman's name was "Feur", not "Fleur".
