Rossyln. Guardian of the Secrets of the Holy Grail. Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn Hopkins

 

I'm enjoying "Rosslyn: Guardian of the Secrets of the Holy Grail" by Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn Hopkins.

It is said that Rosslyn Chapel is the last resting place of the Holy Grail and that the fabulous treasure is buried in its secret vaults. This text is the story of this mysterious chapel in Scotland, taking the reader on a voyage of discovery. The first book to explore the existence of a configuration of seven pre-Christian sites which formed the route of a pilgrimage of initiation used by Druids, Knights Templar and Christian Mystics in their search for true knowledge and enlightenment. Beginning at Compostela in Spain, the voyage of discovery proceeds to Tolouse, Orleans, Chartres, Paris and Amiens, taking us deep into a mysterious world where hidden streams of spirituality flow beneath the surface of European history, profoundly influencing the evolution of Western thought. The journey ends at Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland, where the history of its founders, the Sinclair family, illuminates the revelations of Rosslyn and their significance for us today.

I spent some time in the Medieval gallery this afternoon. The Sword on the left is a typical example of a European sword from the late 14th Century.
Whenever I look at it, I'm reminded of the Westford Knight carving here in Massachusetts. Legend has it that in 1398 a group of Scottish explorers, possibly led by Prince Henry Sinclair, made it to North America. They ventured down to what is now Westford, MA where a member of their party died. He was memorialized there with the broken sword effigy (seen at right) carved onto a rock ledge.

The Sword and the Grail. Andrew Sinclair. Holy Grail. Knights Templar in America

I'm currently enjoying "The Sword and the Grail" by Andrew Sinclair. It is a well written text, focused on Prince Henry Sinclair and the Templars in America subject matter.



The discovery of a tombstone built by his ancestors set Andrew Sinclair on a trail that was to lead to major reassessments, not only of our understanding of the discovery of America, but also of the origins of the Freemasons and their role in world history.
Based on stunning new archaeological evidence, both in the US and in the UK, The Sword and the Grail details the part played by the Order of the Knights of the Templar-here proved to be the true antecedents of the Freemasons-in the discovery of America. As they fled the authorities who wished them destroyed, some of the outlawed Templars carried their treasure to St. Clair Castle, where the knights' relics are still buried. The tomb of their St. Clair Grand Master, with the grail carved on his stone, lies in Rosslyn, the core chapel of the Masonic movement. With the help of the sea skills and wealth of the Templars, the St. Clair Grand Master tried to found a new Jerusalem in the New World, landing with 300 colonists, first in what is now Nova Scotia and then in New England, more than 90 years before Columbus.

"Bloodline of the Holy Grail" by Laurence Gardner

Bloodline of the Holy Grail

The Hidden Lineage of Jesus Revealed

by Laurence Gardner

Barnes & Noble Books, 1997

Notes by Travis Simpkins

     In the opening pages of Bloodline of the Holy Grail by Laurence Gardner, the author lays out a very specific premise, "During the course of this book, we shall study the compelling story of this sovereign lineage by unfolding a detailed genealogical account of the Messianic Blood Royal (the Sangreal) in direct descent from Jesus and his brother James." He then gets much more cryptic in saying, "these pages hold the key to the essential Grail Code- the key not only to a historical mystery but to a way of life." He goes on to discuss various aspects of the Grail Code: "In esoteric Grail lore, the chalice and vine support the ideal of service, whereas the blood and wine correspond to the eternal spirit of fulfillment. The spiritual Quest of the Grail is , therefore, a desire for fulfillment through giving and receiving service. That which is called the 'Grail Code' is itself a parable for the human condition, in that it is the quest of us all to serve and, by serving, to achieve." The remainder of the 350-page text explores all these ideas in depth and really should be experienced firsthand. Mary Magdalene is featured just as prominently within the text as Jesus. Suffice to say, some parts can seem a bit implausible or obtuse, and many sections are slow-going, but the open-minded reader will be rewarded with some valuable insights along the way.

"The Isaac Question" by David S. Brody

The Isaac Question

Templars and the Secret of

the Old Testament

by David S. Brody

Eyes That See Publishing, 2015

Notes by Travis Simpkins

     The Isaac Question is the fifth book in David S. Brody's "Templars in America" series, and for all intents and purposes, essentially picks up where The Oath of Nimrod left off… continuing the story of protagonist couple Cameron Thorne and Amanda Spencer as they investigate the secret pre-Columbian history and artifacts of North America. However, it is also very much a stand alone novel and can still be thoroughly enjoyed without prior reading of the first four installments in the series.

     The plot revisits the author's usual Templar material and adds further focus and new observations on potential links between the old Testament figure Moses, the Pharaoh Akhenaten and the mysterious Baphomet head so revered by the Templars. Along the way, interesting parallels are drawn between various groups... like the Druids and the Freemasons, for example. To discuss the plot further would be an injustice to the many surprises contained within the book's pages.

     Like in his previous work, David S. Brody assembles a collection of artifacts related to the European exploration of America long before Columbus and weaves a fast-paced thriller around them in expert fashion. This book mentions many stone chambers in the northeastern US, Norumbega Tower, Roquepertuse, Gungywamp, Druid Hill, the Stone of Destiny, Cleopatra's Needle in New York, Kent Chamber, Balanced Rock and the Vermont Beltane Stone. Particularly intriguing are the scenes which play out in the House of the Temple in Washington, D.C. and around the Apprentice Pillar at Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. Also included are many references to the Freemasons and Brody's beloved New England sites like America's Stonehenge, the Westford Knight and the Newport Tower. Both informative and entertaining, this book (along with Brody's other work) is deserving of praise and more wide-spread attention.
