What is the Grail?
A relic that unites a universal symbolism is from a millennium to the center of the speculations of writers and esoterists. But what is the true meaning of the Cup of the Eucharist?

Whatever Christian knows the meaning of the chalice of the Eucharist: we can say without fear to be denied by some theologian that the Eucharist is the culminating moment of the mass and the absolute center of the doctrine publicized by the followers of Jesus Christ. According to the native form of Christianity, remained in the Catholic rites, Jesus during the Last Supper the night before its crucifixion broke the bread, poured the wine to the disciples and said them that what they were eating and drinking was his body, his meat and his blood. The Gospel, in origin were about twenty, carefully explained these details, but subsequently was analyzed and purged by St. Paul according to a secret project that partly we have explained in our article about the Mitraism, fundamentally losing precious useful details to the understanding of that gesture. In substance, Jesus, aware of his imminent end, distributed to the first Christians or the apostles and the followers, the tools that would have guaranteed them the union with the divine one and therefore the salvation of the soul: the Communion, note the man's union with the divine one through feeding with his body. If a lot of religions, Islam in primis, are aghast from this cannibalistic aspect (the Church has more times confirmed as the bread and the wine of the communion are REALLY the blood and the meat of Christ), nevertheless this union with the divine one is possible only through the direct contact, almost an assimilation of the body by now next to the undoing of the divinity. The deep spirituality generating from the suffering of that that is called, in the Rolls of the Dead Sea, Yoshua ben Yosef, it can be liquidated the everything as a grisly exercise of masochism. Points of view, everyone is free to believe in what wants and we of Sator ws don't want to enter in the legitimacy of these choices, that belong to the most important nucleus of the present human rights in each one. What presses us to clarify is as the Christianity is integrally supported for many centuries, rather still today, on the cult of the Passion and the relative relics, that as the cult of the saints somehow meeting has come to the demands of the anxious believers to touch with hand the aspects of the divine one. So, among hands, hearts, heads, locks of hair and saints prepuces of the same Jesus as well as of saints and apostles (as the wood fragments of the true cross or the nails of the crucifixion used for making an example in the Iron Crown guarded to Monza) in the Middle Age it assumed a primary role the relic most important in absolute. It was the native chalice of the Eucharist, the cup used by Jesus in the Last Supper and the day later used by his uncle, Joseph of Arimatea, to pick up the blood of the man-god that escaped from the wound to the costs caused by the lance of the centurion Longinus. A blood and water mixture, a blood therefore in the way of purification, as well it tells the Gospel of Nicodemo. That same cup would have subsequently assumed miraculous powers, divine, capable to give the eternal life (and the salvation) to whoever had drunk it. Well soon the native cup assumed a precise name, became famous in the cycle of the tied up chivalrous novels to king Arthur, the famous Matter of Brittany.
It is called Grail, Saint Grail: a dark etymology, perhaps from the Latin word "gradalis" - "vas gradale", that was the container in which the garum sauce was picked up to the time of the Romans, perhaps from the medieval religious term "graduale" (what the liturgical reading was during the mass) or perhaps from the word proto-french "gré" that means thankful, pleasant. For other Grail is a Breton term, graaus, for other again it designated in origin the bowl from which is drunk in common still today in the parties and that is used in the Aosta Valley, the "grolla". But a millennium after the death of Christ, is it possible that the etymological and legendary elements were only those native foreman-Christians? No, absolutely. The key concept of the salvation cup grafted it on preexisting myths, as the Greek cornucopy or the Celtic cauldron, the "Stone of the Exile" of the Jewish cabalistis that it designates the Shekinah (the demonstration of Yahweh in the material world) and again, in India, the urn set in the forehead of Shiva that symbolizes the Third Eye that allows the internal vision. There was also the Amonga cup , the magic cup of the Sarmatis that lived in the steppes over the Caucasus that was said they were in contact with the Amazons; there was then the myth of the gifts of the people of the Tuathas of Danaan, invaders (extraterrestrial) of Ireland that brought in gift to the mankind four gifts: the Sword of Nuadu, king of the Fomors, the Lance of Lug, god of the Sun, the Stone of Fal of the knowledge and finally the Cup of Dagda, the king of the gods. These became then the seeds of the playing cards and the tarots: the Christian religious syncretism made the rest. The sword became the Durlindana of the Christian paladin Orlando, in struggle beside Charles Magnus against the Saracens; the lance note was in partnership to that of the centurion Longinus (and it is guarded still today in Wien with the the name of Heilige Lance), the stone became the philosophical stone that turns the iron into gold and the cup it was note associated to the eucaristic chalice.

(Above) The Heilige Lance in Wien, considered the "Lance of Longinus".

The first one to speak of Grail, rather for the exactness "grail" minuscule, was the Provenzal writer Chrétien de Troyes in the famous "Perceval le galloises ou le conte du Graal". In this chivalrous novel appear so much the cup understood as container of the blood of the Christ, as the concept that the same cup can bring the salvation to the world: the history that Chrétien writes in the middle of the Twelfth Century is that of the planet Earth that is upset by a dreadful famine, the wasteland, to which only King Arthur can set remedy drinking from the cup of the king of the kings. Arthur symbolizes the human king in contact with the divine one. A nobility of mind and blood that draws his strength and ability of protection from a right "of blood" to govern and to cure the wounds provoked in the world by the dangers that spring from the Evil. It would be too much complex to speak of the symbolic meaning of the Matter of Brittany, a metaphoric language behind which the same history of the human kind. We say that the Grail, the cup of Jesus, becomes the container of the wisdom and the salvation, the tool through which the illuminated man can ask the intervention of God. However, the things are not so simple. If it is clear since the works of Chrétien de Troyes that the cup is accessible only after innumerable initiating tests and a run of evolution of the soul, already near the contemporaries it assumes a different values. In his "Parzifal" Wolfram von Eschenbach, already from us broadly quoted in our Dossier in the article related to the sanctuary of Montserrat in Catalogna, clearly affirmed that it doesn't deal with a cup, but of a stone. The Grail is one "Lapsit Exilis", that could mean so much "fragile stone" how much "stone from the sky" (exilis = ex coelis) and this detail is very indicative. In fact in the theology of Wolfram it refers to the revolt of the angels headed from Lucifer and to their fall from the sky: the Grail is an emerald, the third eye of Satan that falling on the Earth has lost it and exactly with this fact lost the ability of superior vision of the reality. Subsequently the Grail was faceted by the archangels and it assumed the features of a cup or a hexagonal basin.
In Genoa the Sacred Basin is guarded, a basin of green glass in past retention of emerald that to the eyes of the Genoeses it represented the Grail described by Wolfram von Eschenbach. The point however it is that if the Grail is a stone fallen from the sky, similar therefore to the black stone guarded in the Ka'Ba to the Mecca, the characteristics of the relic decidedly change. As the stone of Fal, the Grail is not a key for the immortality but means for the trasmutation to the scurvy subject in divine subject: the iron in gold, the human soul in divine essence. The cup-stone assumes so a christic role , it is the same Jesus: rather it is the tool that Satan misses to conquer the world and its possession, it is able to decide the fates of the world and the universe. The following novels of the cycle of the Grail as the "Lancelot" of Rober de Boron or the "Peredur" and the "Perlesvaus", accent this aspect. Here returns the concept of magic object, able to establish the fates of the world, and it is this the meaning that gave to the cup of the Eucharist during the Romanticism the musician Richard Wagner in the work "Parsifal", that so much influence had later on the Nazi the century after. It is in effects, the wagnerian music brought the foolish searches of the Grail in "Indiana Jones style" from the SSs of Adolf Himmler comprehensive of accounts dreamt facts to the "poor" Adolf Hitler, been orphan of its definitive weapon for the conquest of the Earth. But the key of the Grail is perhaps really the last interpretation of the Nazi; it is not the reference to the cup of the Last Supper, but to something more ancient and really explosive able to change the fates of a war. The constant and continuous reference of the Gothic cathedrals that the relationship puts the cup to the Templars Knights makes to think about the Grail to something of legacy to the Solomon Temple in Jerusalem: the Ark of the Covenant, that don't forget was able to destroy whole cities or to lighten whoever touched it without protections! Is this the true aspect of the Grail, a technological object that according to some heterodox researchers was guarded to the times of the Pharaons in the Great Pyramid of Giza and that Moses stole during the escape of the Hebrews from Egypt?
(To the left) The Saint Grail clearly represented on the façade of the church of the Big Mother of God in Turin. The statue of the Reason, that lifts the chalice, points out where also the point to find it. (To the right) The Grail represented on a glass window of the Sanctuary of the Black Madonna of Montserrat in Catalunya. For the Nazi this was the famous Castle of the Grail, but their searches didn't have result. (Below, to the left) The Saint Grail as it appears in the film "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade": simply "a carpenter's cup". (Below, to the center) The Templars were accused to adore an object similar to the Grail. (Below to the right) King Dagobert I of the stock of the Merovingis: it is said that they directly come down from the "Real Blood" ("Sangreal") of Jesus.
To tell the truth, there is another thesis, sustained by the world bestseller "The Da Vinci Code" but in reality revealed to the world in 1982 from the book "The Saint Grail" of Henry Lincoln, Michael Baigent and Richard Leight: the Grail in itself doesn't exist, but it would be a line of blood, in the fact the stock of Jesus that, married Mary of Magdala, he would have produced at least four children whose descent would have given origin still today to the stock of the Merovingis and to other existing noble families. Grail would mean, according to this thesis, "royal blood": in fact usually the word is always writing with the epithet "Saint", "Saint Grail": in medieval Latin , Sanctus Graal or Sang Raal, "Royal Blood." The blood of the kings is that of King David of Israel, the davidic stock, the true descendant from the first man Adam. The support tests of this thesis are so many and amazing, to start from the ever clarified episode of the wedding of Cana quoted in the Gospel. If Jesus is not dead on the cross, if he gotten married and produced children, it is understood as the secret of the Saint Grail becomes the more explosive and powerful tool to disintegrate the world as we intend today. Tell to million of Christians this lie for two thousand years it would be really a weapon more destructive than an atomic bomb… But it is a hidden and dangerous secret. Because if one make intellectual speculations on these theories, as we allow, without second ends is philosophy and divulgation. If one doesn't want to clarify the mysteries, if one write bestsellers without having concrete evidence, is perhaps criminal. Neither Lincoln-Baigent-Leight, neither their epigones and the celebrated Dan Brown, have gave this evidence. Today we assist to the birth of many new religions based on the marriage between Jesus and Mary of Magdala. Is it this the sense of the Grail? A cup or an uterus, that of the Magdalena that produced the children of Christ? According to us of Sator ws, we think instead that a mysterious object exists, even really brought in gift to the men from the gods, that guards to know and knowledge. A slender stone, fragile, even a ante-litteram computer that contains notions of other worlds, an object difficult to understand for simple minds as those of the medieval servants of the glebe but that today also for the common people could assume a finished sense. And it could be also who knows perhaps a small object as a box, that Berengere Saunière, priest of Rennes-le-Château, delivered to Antoni Gaudì in 1896 (or 1915) so that it was walled in the crypt of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona…

(To the left) In the crypt of the Sagrada Familia of Barcelona it would be hidden a box delivered by Berengere Saunière, priest of Rennes-le-Château, to Antoni Gaudì perhaps in 1896. The French priest was become extremely rich after having found, during the jobs of restructuring of his small church on the Pyrenees, documents and extremely ancient parchments that hid a inconfessable secret. In few years the priest became friend of noble and men of the freemasonry and tightened a depth bond with the lyric singer Emma Calvé, impassioned of esoterism and tied up to many cultural circles. Emma Calvé was also friend of Antoni Gaudì, visionary architect that was changing the facing of Barcelona in that years: and so Saunière decided to submit an important object to the Catalan architect, guarded in a wrap of the dimensions of a box of shoes, that he had recovered in the secret crypt of his church. What was this object? Secret documents of the dynasty of the Merovingis, that at Rennes-le-Château they had an important center? Something coming from the presumed grave of Jesus? Or the mysterious object that was guarded by the Catars during the Crusade against the Albigesis and that four believers brought away during the last battle from the Fortress of Montsegur, lowering himself for hundreds of meters in the precipices around the mountain?
