French Connection - The Magdalene & The Bloodline

History and Theory My Point of Departure So after opening up with a couple of posts to set the agenda, as it were, let us try to organize a few guidelines. 1) Me being an ordained member of clergy, let me set this out right from the start; I enter the field as a firm believer in our God, a God humanity entered into a relation with in the region roughly resembling today’s Israel, some time around 1000-1500 years BCE. 2) The views expressed here, on this Blog, are mine. Others may have, and in most cases have, allowed it to be known that they are of the same or similar opinions, if so, I congratulate them. I do, however, want to stress the fact that what I put forth here is not what some may want to label ’truth’, not the only ’truth’, or even one of many ’truths’. What I put forth in these pages is my view. My opinion. My theorem. Some other theories might support my views, others may not. These are, nevertheless, mine. If you, the distinguished reader hereof, agree with what I state as...

A Brief discussion of Heritage and Genealogy Sometime prior to the year 40 a.d. the heritage from the Israelite king David arrived in the south of today’s France. One should bear in mind that this was a very early stage of the European civilization. Tribes spread across the continent, no larger communities to talk of. One of the tribes to grow out of the European soil, the Merovingians, is prominent within the realm of this blog. The Arcadian Sea Lords The Merovingians who rose to importance and fame as founders of a kingdom we know as France originated from what is now Greece, from Arcadia, as it were. They were known as the New Covenant. Heralded from sea Gods. Their shield displayed a fish, to this effect. The rampant lion of Judah is an important signifier of the bloodline, as is of course the judaic trefoil. The royal line of France stretched all the way back to the David who was the ancestor of Jesus, the prince of Judea. 'Et in Arcadia Ego’ is a painting by Poussin, pai...

    Setting out on this journey through time and space prepare to meet with some facts that might at first glance feel a bit too much to handle. Considering the manner in which Rome, and various ruling entities throughout Europe, has worked eagerly to propose a truth having precious little to do with reality throughout the existence of the Church of Rome.   We will arrive in France in due time, not to worry, but a few words on the backstory to this staging of events might be a good idea.  Let us begin in Palestine, the home of our main characters. In the Bible we can read about a wedding at Cana, in John 2; 1-11. It is a parable, where Jesus turns water into wine when the host runs out of said commodity. Now, some, of which I am one, suggest that this was actually the wedding between Prince Jesus of the house of David and Mary from Magdala, more known as Mary Magdalene. Some call her the female disciple, and some of the male disciples react to Jesus kissing Mary '...

In the Beginning Our main Characters We will travel through time and space in writing this blog. As swiftly explained in last week’s installment the slight ’focus’ of the blog is a look into the events over time in south France. Main characters are Mary Magdalene, the wife of Jesus, their children, Jesus’ mother, the apostles who accompanied them to spread the story of the christ. Background We have to set out from a historical point in time offering a sort of ’anchor’ around which one may layer a story. We will use the biblical crucifixion Jesus Christ as our starting point. ”Legend holds that Mary Magdalene fled persecution after Jesus' crucifixion. She, his mother, Mary Salome and others left the Holy Land in a makeshift boat, landing in a fishing village called  Sainte-Marie-de-la-Mer  in the south of France.” (Chicago Tribune) What We Know and What We Don’t We know, or at least make a qualified guess that the biblical Jesus was crucified some time around the year 36-40 AD...
