Prophecy and the Quest for the Holy Grail


Book Description

This study reconsiders the Vulgate Cycle, and the functional interrelation of prophecy and epistemological critique in thirteenth-century Grail literature: no mere prediction, prophecy marks a critical strategy by which the nature and limits of knowledge are put into systematic question.




The Quest of the Holy Grail


Book Description

Composed by an unknown author in early thirteenth-century France, The Quest of the Holy Grail is a fusion of Arthurian legend and Christian symbolism, reinterpreting ancient Celtic myth as a profound spiritual fable. It recounts the quest of the knights of Camelot - the simple Perceval, the thoughtful Bors, the rash Gawain, the weak Lancelot and the saintly Galahad - as they journey through danger and temptation to reach the elusive Holy Grail. But only one of them is judged worthy to see the mysteries within the sacred vessel, and look upon the ineffable. Enfused with tragic grandeur and an aura of mysticism, The Quest is an absorbing and radiant allegory of man's perilous search for divine grace, and had a profound influence on later Arthurian romances and versions of the Grail legend.

The Book of the Holy Grail


Book Description

First translated into English by our country's third president, this is the Bible of Gnostic Christianity, the original source for the legends of the Holy Grail, Freemasonry, even of the Mormon Church. Its text contains the most attacked and suppressed alternative gospel of the life of Jesus, and the book disputes accounts in the traditionally accepted gospels regarding what Jesus' mission on Earth really was, what Jesus taught, and how Jesus died.

Hidden Wars of the Holy Grail


Book Description

"The great tarp folded shall not be shown by halves the greater part of the history. Chased out of the kingdom long after shall appear bellicose facts that everyone shall come to believe. (Century VI-61) The true plight of Jesus is a horrid yet sacred tragedy. Nostradamus, a divine prophet, preserved the secret story through time and through bloody Inquisitions enforced by laws of the established Church. Humanity yearns for truth and seeks absolution through words and visions of divine prophets. Nostradamus was one of the most famous prophets in history. He carried wisdom of the ages and the voice of risen consciousness that now reveals detailed truths about Jesus and his human family. Did Jesus survive the ordeal of the crucifixion? Did he have an extended family? Who masterminded the greatest plot and the bloodiest wars in history at the time of a devastating comet that brought massive suffering to humanity? The diaspora of the family bloodline of the King of Kings was suppressed and folded under the tarp of time. Methods employed by those closest to Jesus in the plot of the crucifixion began a long, hidden war that would forever alter the course of the Holy Family as well as the human destiny of every person on this planet. This is a tragic and heart wrenching tale that was carefully guarded by the oldest families of the bloodline of Jesus, was carried forth into the legends of King Arthur, was concealed in the art of the master painters and architects, and was preserved in the illuminated tomes of Nostradamus. The shocking revelations so long protected by the ingenious, poetic veilings of Nostradamus will forever change the way people view the origins of Christianity and will also restore explosive sense to the Holy Order that once fostered the lifeblood and salvation of humanity."--Provided by the publisher.
