  • Heartbeat of Mother Earth the Magdalen Mysteries and the Path Of
    The Magdalene Mysteries and the Path of the Blue Rose Veronica Goodchild, PhD February 2017 [email protected] (Copyright – all rights reserved) (NB. A Pilgrimage Journey, “The Magdalene Mysteries and the Path of the Blue Rose,” is in preparation for this autumn in the Languedoc region of SW France. Please email me if you would like further information) The Magdalene Mysteries relate both to alternate histories and Gnostic Texts concerning Mary Magdalene and Jesus, and to the Tradition of the Blue Rose, the name given to MM’s teachings, and a lineage of Grail Priestesses and Womb Shamans whose central symbol is the Chalice of the Grail. I was led to these Paths initially by a dream-vision on June 22, 2016, on the morning I was entering France from Italy, on my way to the Languedoc region in the SW, a part of France known for the beauty of its landscape, its rich history especially in Medieval times, its wine producing vineyards, olive groves, and sunflower fields, together with its alternative stories of MM and Jesus ‘after’ the crucifixion, its heretical Cathar ‘Holy Spirit’ movement from the 11th to 13th centuries for whom the Grail Chalice was a central symbol, and the stories and legends of the Holy Grail which sprung up in France and elsewhere during the 12th century. Since my dream, I’ve been on a journey to discover how I am being addressed by it, and what the relevance of the stories and traditions to which they relate might be for us today, in the Age of Transition to a new Aeon or myth.

  • Book Reviews
    Medieval 12,3_f13_533-553 11/20/06 7:02 PM Page 533 BOOK REVIEWS Richard Barber, The Holy Grail: Imagination and Belief. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2004. xiv, 463 pp. $27.95 (cloth); $16.95 (paper). As I write this review, Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, authors (along with Henry Lincoln) of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail (New York: Random House, 1982), are suing Dan Brown. Brown, they claim, stole the framework for the best-selling Da Vinci Code from their book. Thus far, Brown has denied the charges, emphasizing the rigor of his own independent research and his lack of familiarity with The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. It seems likely that his story will change: at the moment, Brown’s “well-thumbed” and heavily annotated copy of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail is being examined in court (Hugh Davies, “Dan Brown and Mystery of the Well-Thumbed Paperback,” March 15, 2006; available at www.telegraph.co.uk/news). At the very least, Brown will probably have to admit that his assertions about his own research were exaggerated. The irony about Baigent and Leigh’s claims is that The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail has been dismissed as poorly researched fantasy. As Barber puts it, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail is “a text which pro- ceeds by innuendo, not by refutable scholarly debate” (p. 310). In The Holy Grail: Imagination and Belief, Barber refers to Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln’s book as the work of “imaginative amateurs” whose supposed history is “written in the style of a television programme” (p.

It covered approximately the present France and Germany, but during several wars the area changed constantly. Also different areas were split up among sons and other relatives and favorites. After Charlemagne France and Germany were established as separate countries. This presentation begins where the myth turns into history and ends with Charlemagne .

  • Female Representation and Generic Constraints in the Da Vinci Code
    THE NOT SO SACRED FEMININE: FEMALE REPRESENTATION AND GENERIC CONSTRAINTS IN THE DA VINCI CODE Jenn Brandt A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2007 Committee: Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Montana Miller ii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Since its publication in 2003, Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code has dominated bestseller lists, becoming one of the most widely read, discussed, and analyzed books in recent history. Although The Da Vinci Code offers a radical view of history that argues for the equality and power of women, at the end of the novel nothing has actually changed. In light of this, my thesis is a feminist analysis of the female protagonist, Sophie Neveu, in both Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code and Ron Howard’s 2006 film adaptation. In analyzing these texts, I ultimately conclude that the lack of actual female empowerment is the result of the conventions of the classical mystery/detective genre. John Cawelti’s theories of genre and formula and Laura Mulvey’s psychoanalytical theories of gender and the gaze form the theoretical base for my observations. These theories, along with those relating to gender and the detective genre, are instrumental in my close readings of Dan Brown’s novel and Ron Howard’s film adaptation. In examining The Da Vinci Code in terms of its popular culture effects and popularity, I situate the text within the historical locations of postmodernism and a post- 9/11 United States.

  • Mary of Magda Introduction-1
    Mary of Magdala: A Gnostic Fable, Introduction, August 2009 By Veronica Goodchild, PhD [email protected] In July 2008, at the IAJS/IAAP Conference in Zurich, several colleagues and I had the distinct pleasure of participating in a reading of Armando Nascimento Rosa’s play, Mary of Magdala: A Gnostic Fable (English translation by Alex Ladd). As I had long been interested in the Gnostic, apocryphal, and legendary traditions surrounding the figure of Mary Magdalene, not least of which was her connection to the Grail myth—and at different times had made pilgrimages to her various sacred sites in France, and even once had a dream about a visit to the beautiful cathedral at Vézelay (south-east of Paris) dedicated to her—it was an additional honor for me to read her part in Rosa’s play. There were other connections with Mary Magdalene. As a child, one of the most moving stories in the New Testament for me was the one where, in St. John’s Gospel, she is weeping outside the empty tomb, conversing with the angels about her sorrow, and turns to see Jesus but does not recognize him as he is in a subtle body form, and the text says that she supposes that he is the gardener. Jesus enquires about her weeping, and it is the sound of his voice calling her name that identifies him to her. Without having the words for the experience then, it was the feeling of a deep pathos and of a love bond between Jesus and MM that had had a stirring impact on me.

    FREE THE HOLY BLOOD AND THE HOLY GRAIL PDF Richard Leigh,Michael Baigent,Henry Lincoln | 576 pages | 06 Jun 2006 | Cornerstone | 9780099503095 | English | London, United Kingdom HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL - The paperback version was first published in by Corgi books. A sequel to the book, called The Messianic Legacy[2] was originally published in The original work was reissued in an illustrated The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail version with new material in In The Holy Blood and the Holy Grailthe authors put forward a hypothesis that the historical Jesus married Mary Magdalenehad one or more children, and that those children or their descendants emigrated to what is now southern France. Once there, they intermarried with the noble families that would eventually become the Merovingian dynastywhose special claim to the throne of France is championed today by a secret society called the Priory of Sion. They concluded that the legendary Holy Grail is simultaneously the womb of Mary Magdalene and the sacred royal bloodline she gave birth to. An international bestseller upon its release, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail spurred interest in a number of ideas related to its central thesis. Response from professional historians and scholars from related fields was negative. They argued that the bulk of the claims, ancient mysteries, and conspiracy theories presented as facts are pseudohistorical. In a review of the book for The Observernovelist and The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail critic Anthony Burgess wrote: "It is typical of my unregenerable soul that I can only see this as a marvellous theme for a novel.

  • Andrew Wearring
    Re-doing Da Vinci: Appropriation and Misappropriation of Religious History in Conspiracy Fiction Andrew Wearring As I am sure many reviews of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code have observed, it is a book which has, for better or worse, been the subject of much, often heated, discussion and debate. It has created a veritable industry of supposedly serious works that purport to debunk or affirm the various claims made within its pages: Secrets of the Da Vinci Code, Cracking the Da Vinci Code, Breaking the Da Vinci Code, or even The Da Vinci Deception and The Da Vinci Con.1 Brown’s claims have evidently been something of a revelation for the majority of his readers, and clearly they have been left wanting more. Its well- established place at the top of bestseller lists around the world is testament to its popularity, and few would question the influence it has had on its readers. But what exactly is it that has struck such a chord with readers? To briefly summarise, The Da Vinci Code claims: that Jesus was fully mortal; that he married Mary Magdalene and had children by her (as represented by the allegory of the Holy Grail: chalice = womb; blood = bloodline); that his descendents survived in France, that the Catholic Church has suppressed this information since its inception and that Jesus’ divinity was ‘decided by a vote,’ with motivations that were purely political. These claims, while no doubt sensational for many, are hardly new. Strangely enough, this is something Brown seems to want to reiterate again and again.
