The term Holy Grail firstly is used for the Eucharistic Cup of the Last Supper and it is also used for the Grail Platter used at the Supper as well as the other cups, vessels and plates used by the Apostles and Jesus at the Last Supper. On a mystical level Our Lady and her Son also are represented by the icon of the Holy Grail with the actual vessel representing Mary and the Divine Blood in the Chalice or Grail being the Real Presence of Jesus. This has been metaphorically and conceptually linked with the Ark of the Covenant, which like the Holy Grail, was a vessel of the Divine Presence.

The Fisher Kings who were to become the Guardians of the Holy Grail (the Cup of the Last Supper) were also victim souls who were wounded in their leg. They were known as the wounded maimed Kings. Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich reveals that the promised Great Catholic Monarch Henry will during Mass have an apparition and be wounded in his leg and thereafter walk with a limp. Jacob was the proto-type of these wounded maimed Kings as holy victim souls who do reparation (tikkun) for the people and the nation.

In the eschatological future, Israel will be ingrafted and do battle at the Eucharistic gateways at a time of great peril for the World. The fruit of their Holy Hours will lead us into the Eucharistic Era of Peace when the greatest glory of the Eucharist will be manifested. At this time an annointed monarch will arise from David and Joseph of Arimathea's descendants from the Land of Joseph/Ephraim - Henry the Lion of God - who will, like a new Arthur and Charlemagne, be a leader dedicated to Our Lady and devoted to Eucharistic Adoration. The Jews of Judah will unite with him and the ten Tribes of Israel.

Ephraim (Church) and Judah (Synagogue) will be united as one stick of unity. Once more the Knights of the Holy Grail and the Ladies of the Grail Castle will flourish and through their adoration restore and renew the wounded earth. Then shall the tribes of Jacob come as one before the Lord in Eucharistic Adoration and the House of God be restored and rebuilt in Eucharistic glory and splendour.

The concept of the fish and fishook also leads us to Jesus' comments about His followers (talmidim) becoming fishers of men and the sign of Jesus was to be the sign of the Fish in the Early Church. In the 'Zohar' the Holy Child is associated with the sign of the Fish as a son of Joseph. Thus, St Joseph the husband of Our Lady and his relative St Joseph of Arimathea were wise Fisher Kings (Hamnuna Sava - Ha Melekh Nuna Sava). The descendants (sons) of Joseph of Arimathea are also called the Fisher Kings.

The concept of Fisher Kings can also be found in the writings of the Ancient Sumerians - which speak of Shepherd and Fisher Kings in the time before the Flood. The Patriarch Enoch was one of these Fisher Kings who was later deified by the Sumerians as the God Anu. Stories of magical fish are told in regards to King David's son King Solomon as well as in regards to David and Solomon's descendants the Fisher Kings of the Holy Grail.

In popular imagination the knights of King Arthur and the Knights of the Grail are seen as wearing brilliant shining armour. In reality, the Knights of the Grail shine with the Eucharistic Glory and their shining armour are the Divine Attributes of God that they become cloaked in as a fruit of their hours of Eucharistic Adoration.

The title of Rosa Mystica is found in the Litany of Loreto and has a rich history in Catholic devotion. However, devotion to Mary as Rosa Mystica is much more ancient. Since at least the 5th century Christian writers have written that Mary is the ‘rose among the thorns’ of Song of Songs 2:2. Both Jesus and Mary have been referred to as the Mystical Rose throughout Christian history. This Mystical rose is also associated with the Holy Grail (the Cup of the Last Supper). They are both seen as vessels that contain the divinity. At Lucca in Italy (a centre of Kabbalah) from earlier times has kept the feast of Our Lady of the Rose on January 30th. Since 1947 many statues of Mary as Rosa Mystica have wept in many places around the world including New York and Russia. She weeps that her Son is left abandoned in so many tabernacles with no one to adore him.

The Zohar states: "The rose is the Cup of Blessing". This is the Holy Grail. It is also the Eucharistic Cup of Blessing in the Mass. Thus the rose in another sense refers to the Eucharist. This is the Cup of Salvation that has messianic significance. The Zohar associates this cup with the Holy Child who is Son of Joseph and associated with the fish (nuna). Every holy hour of Eucharistic Adoration is an entering into the rose and the Divine Attributes follow forth as a rose unfolding and blossoming. Rav Hamnuna Sava is a reference to the Fisherking of this period who is a descendant of Joseph of Arimathea the original guardian of the Holy Grail. This is the Rose as ‘Shoshan’ the male six petalled one. ‘Shoshanah’ is the female thirteen petalled Rose.

This romance of the Holy Grail is connected to the hidden Jewish Christian (Hebrew Catholic) history of ancient Scotland, Britain, Ireland, France and Iraq. This recounts the story of one dynastic family – the Davidic House of Nathan - who came to reign over the nations of Europe. This Jewish dynasty was established by Mar Joseph of Babylon in Britain in the 2nd century BC. It was Mar Joseph’s descendant also called Mar Joseph (of Arimathea) that brought the Jewish Christian message of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration to Britain in the 1st century AD.

From the time of Mar Joseph of Arimathea this Davidic dynasty is connected with deep Eucharistic mysticism centred on the Holy Grail. It is Joseph and his descendants that maintained Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in the far isles of the West. It is his descendants that also established this practice in Iraq in the 2nd century AD among the Jewish Christians (Notzrim) and in a hidden and veiled form among the Jewish communities. This is truly a ‘High History of the Holy Grail’.

The idea of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration and a band or court of Eucharistic Adorers goes right back to the Blessed Virgin Mary (Miriam haKedosha) and the Cenacle of Jerusalem. The Catholic mystics and saints reveal that Mary spent her time in the Cenacle in Eucharistic Adoration. Later in her house in Ephesus, according to the revelations of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, Mary also spent time in Eucharistic Adoration. She gathered the women of her household into a band of Eucharistic Adorers – they were later called the ladies of the Grail.

St Joseph of Arimathea and St Simon ha Kanah (Zelotes) were to establish the Eucharistic Guard of Honour in the Western Isles of Britain. Joseph and Simon’s descendants the Fisher Kings maintained this Eucharistic Court of Adorers firstly in the small wattle church on the Glas Isle (Glastonbury) and later at the Grail castles, including the one on the Isle of Man and the one on the Isle of Lundy.

This account of the Grail draws on the Irish, Welsh, Scottish, French and Jewish traditions, genealogies, histories, legends and Romances. The medieval Romances of Arthur and the Holy Grail came forth firstly in Southern France from the same region as the Romances about the Jewish Princes Aimeri de Narbonne (Machir Theodoric ben Judah) and Guillame d’Orange (Nathan Kalonymus). These Romances were spread by the troubadours of Provence and Aquitaine.

It is obvious that the compiler of the Irish work ‘Leabhar Gabhala’ had access to a History of this family in Scotia that he used in his compilation and reconstruction of Irish history. When the student of history and mysticism has the key to history which is the key of David (Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament), one can examine the ancient sources and reconstruct the veiled and hidden history of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration as practiced by the Royal House of King David descended from the Holy Family of Jesus. This hidden or secret history is Eucharistic and Marian – revealing the secret (mystery) of the Eucharist and Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration.

It was probably St Ninian of the 5th century that first compiled this history of the Davidic Grail family in the Isles, as he was both a member of the Exilarch family and a convert to Catholicism, who became a missionary monk to Scotland. This early version was what can be called the Leabhar Gabhala Scotti or Sefer ha Kabbalah of the Scottish Davidic family. This material was later taken to Ireland where another Irish monk added and redacted the material to form the Leabhar Gabhala Erenn.

From the time of St Joseph of Arimathea’s family's arrival in the British Isles to run the mines, the Davidic family has formed the core of Europe’s royalty and noble families, either on the direct male line or through intermarriage on the female line. Davidic status or Nasi status can be due to a family descending on a maternal line from a Davidic heiress.

St Peter Julian Eymard was one saint that seemed to have access to knowledge about this key of David and its importance for the future.

“Today more than ever we need men who by self-immolation disarm the wrath of God angered by the ever-increasing crimes of the nations; we need souls who by their earnest prayers reopen the treasures of grace which had been closed by general indifference; we need true adorers, that is, men of fire and of sacrifice. When their numbers multiply around their divine Leader, God will be glorified, Jesus will be loved, and society will again become Christian, won to Jesus Christ by the apostolate of Eucharistic prayer.”

This will be the time of the Eucharistic Era of Peace promised by Our Lady at Fatima. Today we need a revival of the Eucharistic spirit of the Knights and Ladies of the Holy Grail who seek Divine Union with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. We need Eucharistic wounded Healers and victim souls as modern Fisher Kings to adore Jesus and intercede for a troubled world.

Our Lady is once again gathering and leading Eucharistic Guards of Honour, with Courts (chapels/temples) of faithful Eucharistic Adorers. As children we thrilled to the tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Holy Grail. As adults, let us go deeper into Eucharistic meaning of these Romances. Let us develop our own Romance with the Lover of our souls who is so abandoned in his prison of love in all the locked churches of the world. Let us open the doors of our hearts to adore the Divine Eucharistic Heart that beats with Divine Love and Mercy for us. Let us don our spiritual armour like the Knights of Old and start on the Quest for the Holy Grail.

Adoration is the key to the Interior Grail Castle. Every male adorer is a Knight of the Holy Grail riding the white horse of spiritual power – the fire of God’s love. Every female adorer is a Queen of the Grail Castle and a Lady of the Lake, the Lake of God’s mercy. As she adores she bathes in the Lake of Mercy and with each Holy Hour becomes more and more beautiful and glorious in her inner soul, until she is radiantly dressed like Our Lady with the garments and tiaras of the Divine King.

Blessed Anne Emmerich mentions that fish was served along with lamb at the Festal Supper celebrated at Simon's Inn the night before the Last Supper. Christian tradition in art and literature has always associated a fish with the Last Supper and one of the famous Grails was a fish platter. It is Jewish tradition to serve fish at festal meals.

The Zohar was seen as a literary Holy Grail that contained the mysteries of the mystical and Eucharistic Cup of Blessing. The Cup representing Our Lady and the blessing being the Eucharistic Messiah. Thus the first layer of the Zohar was written by Joseph of Arimathea (Rabbi Abba) about the mystical teachings of St Peter, himself and the other early Jewish Christian leaders. This collection was then edited and enriched by Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai of the 2nd century and his school of mystics in the South. The two Shimons were later confused into one, as were other Rabbis in the Zohar. They were two different generations of Rabbis - one group who lived and taught in Galilee in Second Temple times and the others in post-Temple times before the Bar Kokhba Revolt.

Three Gilberts: The Gathering of Eagles

Brother Gilbert high in Eucharistic look-out tower

Beholds the Hidden Valley behind the seat of God

Covered in thick mist of salvation history

And in its midst the soaring of eagles

In Divine Will he redos all Creation

in very little Luisan perfection

In the bonds of the brotherhood of the South

as foretold in Zohar splendour

Encircling the world with a new direction

As he soars in Spirit in mystic vision

He beholds Childe Gilbert and Childe Roland

In the Valley of Decision a renewed Jezreel

And then he descends to the time

Of dear saint Gilbert of Sempringham fame

United with prayerful Sisters and Canons

In powerful Eucharistic contemplation

While surviving on that bland pottage

In time of the clash of Eagles

Sweet Thomas a Becket and Lion-like Henry

Church and State and rights of priests

Martyr of the altar

Back to reality jolted by modern day priestly martyr

Holy old priest dear Jacques Hamel

a new French Santiago

With throat slit in Jihadi terror in the midst of France

With its ancient prophecy of the holy Great Monarch

In time of the gathering of Eagles

The militia of the Holy Spirit

Holy Cross-bearers of the Crucified Body

In Rouen seat of ancient Kings

Sanctified now with funeral of Hamel

Soon to see crowning of Henry the Eagle and the Lion

Of Europe’s expectation after Paris' firery destruction

Hordes of new Saracen hosts

Pouring through Europe’s gates

Unchecked by political correct swaying

Gather O Eagles Gather

Bind all the evil spirits

Fly in new expectation

In the wings of the Woman and the Female

Let Jerusalem and Rome unite

With the eternal bonds of Corato

In the hidden strong arms of Joseph

Icon of a loving father

Shadow of the Eternal Most High

In a last days blaze of Glory

As the eagles soar and gather

With lightning flash then thunder

As silence envelops all

And reveals Nachman’s hidden melody

Of the Kingdom that is here and coming.

(written in August 2016)

Liesbeth Korthals Altes in “A Theory of Ethical Reading” gives the whole concept of narrative a Levinasian focus on ‘ethical reading’. She writes of Emmanuel Levinas and other writers providing a ‘poststructuralist bricolage’ to the concept of ‘ethical reading’. Rebbe Nachman draws from many diverse and different sources to come to a unified yet multi-layered meaning that is a form of bricolage and I would suggest that likutey could also be translated as bricolage. The main book of the mystical teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov is called “Likutey Moharan”.

Likutey means gleanings or collected sayings and MoHaRaN is an acronym for Morenu HaRav Nachman (Our teacher the Rebbe Nachman). Rebbe Nachman also uses a form of bricolage in forming his stories. They draw on the Bible, Talmud, Mussar, Kabbalah, Hasidut, Romanticism, philosophy, Frankism and the folktales of his time. The tales of “The Lost Princess” and “The Master of Prayer” are both ‘quest narratives’ with similarities to the famous Arthurian and Eucharistic “Quests for the Holy Grail”. Rebbe Nachman himself stated before telling the story of “The Lost Princess”:

...Many hidden meanings and lofty concepts are contained in the stories the world tells. They are however deficient since they contain many omissions. They are also confused and are not told in correct sequence. What begins the story may be told at the end, and the like. Nevertheless the folk tales the world tells contain many lofty hidden mysteries... (quoted in Eli Talberg, Tikun ha-Brit: View of the Torah on Sexual Development of a Man)

In the 12th century there was a papally approved Catholic community known as the Order of Sion with houses on Mt Zion, Mt Carmel and Calabria. Some modern writers have tried to connect this Order of Sion with the Priory of Sion mentioned in the book "Holy Blood and Holy Grail". However this is highly speculative and doesn't seem to hold water when examined more closely. The mother house of this Order of Sion was the Church of St Mary of Sion which included the Cenacle during the time of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem.

Some of my earliest memories are of my Australian born Anglo-Jewish mother reading me the King James Bible and English literature and especially poetry (my mother obviously didn't believe in dumbing down for children). One of the poems she read to me was Alfred Lord Tennyson's "Lady of Shalott". Recently I was introduced to the sung version of "The Lady of Shalott" by the Canadian singer Loreena McKennitt. Always the legends of the Arthurian and Grail literature have resonated with something deep in my soul.

As further studies at University, on Malory's "Morte D'Arthur" and "The High History of the Holy Grail", revealed that Arthur and the Knights of Camelot all claim descent from the Jew and Davidic descendant Joseph of Arimathea. Many Jewish elements are found in these tales. In my first year (1981) of University, I studied Medieval English literature in which I wrote a major essay on the role of knighthood in the Grail legends. I also discovered that Camelot comes from the name Camulon or Camelon (near Falkirk), which was a Scottish city of the Gododdin who were the Scottish descendants of the Jewish Christian Exilarchs who moved to the lands of the north and became known as the Gadeni to the Romans.

The Lady of Shalott is based on the story of Elaine who in other stories was the unloved wife of Lancelot and the mother of Galahad. She is also called the Donna di Scalotta which was the Italian memory of her name Scota or Scotia. She is also remembered as Elaine of Astolat or Ascolat as well as Elaine of Corbenic, Elaine the White and Elaine the Fair. She is also associated with the Lady of the Lake in some legends and in others she is called the Grail Maiden or Grail bearer. The elements of the mystical mirror and the weaving of the tapestry alludes to the mysteries of the Grail and Kabbalah.

The tale of the "Lady of Shalott" can have many interpretations. One may perceive that the Lady is involved in the great mystical mysteries of the Grail and Eucharistic Adoration, however she gets distracted from her calling to an earthly love. She follows this love for Lancelot which does not satisfy and leads to heartbreak, unrequited love and death. But still love is always fruitful (even when misdirected) and the fruit of this love of the Lady brings forth Galahad, who attains the heights of the mysteries of the Grail. Literature has divided Elaine into two different women - one who dies of unrequited love and the other who attains his physical lovemaking but not his heart. "The Lady of Shalott" follows the first one and Tennyson also writes of the second in his "Idylls of the King".

The Sacking of Rome in 410 and the withdrawal of the Roman legions from Britain began a period of dark ages in Europe while a new Romano-British Empire flourished in the British Isles, the Western Coastlands and America. When the Romano-British Christian World and its civilisation collapsed with the coming of the Comet (or meteorites) around 540 AD a dark age of knowledge descended on the World. It took many years before the world recovered and when it did there was no longer any Jewish Christian Church and its history was now the stuff of legends and tales. This dark period lasted for over 200 years.

However, it is a period in which the most glorious tales and legends of King Arthur and the Grail have come down to us of a new golden age as promised by the 3rd century British Emperor Carausius on his famous coinage that alludes to the poet Virgil. Virgil wrote:

"...Redeunt Saturnia Regna, Iam Nova Progenies Caelo Demittitur Alto, meaning 'The Golden Ages are back, now a new generation is let down from Heaven above'....

The Age of Arthur and the Grail were indeed a Golden Age that followed the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. An age of Davidic Kings and Fisher Kings and the flowering of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration. However sin entered and with war and the heavenly bombardments of 540 AD a new dark age descended until the rise of Alfred the Great and Charlemagne. Is our modern Western Secular Empire about to crash and burn followed by a new golden Age with a New King Arthur and new Knights of the Grail establishing chapels of Perpetual Adoration? There is a replica of Arthur's Oon near Camelon - the Perpetual Adoration Chapel of ancient Roman Camelot dedicated to Our Lady of Victory (Voada) and St Claudius son of Mar Ptolomy. We now await "the new generation" that will be "let down from Heaven above." These are those who live in the Divine Will on earth.

The Arthurian legends speak of St Joseph converting his brother Nascien and the conversion of Evelake (Evelach) the King of Sarras. Nascien is the British King known as Tasciovanus of a Roman Jewish warrior family closely connnected to the Babylonian Exilarchs. Evelake was the King of Sarras or the Saracens (Persians). These are the dark complexioned and dark curly haired inhabitants of the Kingdom of the Silures, who had been brought to Britain to work the tin mines from Takhte Suleiman by the Exilarch Solomon who was also known as Cassivellaunus or Silvanus (Cassi =Tin and Silva= silver) as the Lord of the Judeo-Roman Mining Industry.

The merchant ships of Solomon are mentioned in the Arthurian tales. In the Grail Romances this Solomon is confused with the original King Solomon. Nascien (Nathan) and Evelake were allied by the marriage of Nascien's sister Sarah (Sarrasinte) to Evelake. The dark Silurians of Evelake mainly belonged to E-V13 y-dna of the Hushi Clan of The Tribe of Dan. After their defeat by the Romans they fled into the more remote parts of Britain. Their y-dna descendants can still be found today in these parts of Britain.

The legends of this Nascien have been confused with a later Nascien (Nathan the Red a paternal grandson of St Joseph of Arimathea and a maternal grandson of St Batholomew) who was the father of Celidoine. This Celidoine may be identified with Phares or Feradach (Brother Phares) and Celidoine was his title as the Lord (Adon) of the Culdees (or khaldaios / holymen) in Scotia. Caledonia became a synonym for Scotland and the Caledonii were named for him.

The first Jewish Christian Eucharistic centre (Grail Castle or Chapel) in the north, was built by Phares the Celidoine and named Galefort (Gilead/Galahad/Goloddyn) and named for his grandfather Gilead (Galahad/Galuta). Goloddyn or Gilead or Galuta Dun or Galefort means the fort of Gilead or Galuta. Later the name Goloddin for the fort became confused with the name of the Tribe Gadeni or Godoli and became Gododdin or Gododdyn. They were also called the Gaeli (the Redeemed ones).

The Romano-Jewish Mining Lords built the original roads to the Mines in Britain before the conquest by the Imperial Romans in 43 AD. The ancient British were known for their chariots which needed paved roads. The Imperial Romans after 43 AD improved and extended this road system. Evidence of this pre-43 AD roads is found in Shropshire where archeologists have:

"...found a metalled and cambered road dated to the first century BC – around 100 years before the Roman invasion. The discovery seems to show that the iron age Britons were better and more imaginative engineers than they are generally given credit for..."(Steven Morris, "Britannia Superior: Why Roman roads may not be quite as Roman as we think" in Guardian newspaper 16 March 2011).

It was probably after the events in the Temple when Jesus was 12 that the Holy Family went on the "Ships of Solomon" owned by St Joseph of Arimathea to Britain and stayed there until he was in his 20's when they returned to Nazareth where St Joseph died. The Holy Family may have lived in Britain for about 13 years from about 6 AD-19AD (he was born in 8 BC).

A descendant of these Grail families was Cheodar the King of Dumbarton (b.285 d.354). He married Princess Clemenia Cadia (Cadzow) of Calalus and Cadodu (b.288 d.282) the daughter of Prince Ananius of Calalus (b.255) and Dode IX the Queen of Cadodu (b.260). He became the King of Dumbarton in 331 and was to become Lord of the Eastern Barzel Islands and his wife Clemenia was made Lady of the Western Barzel Islands by her mother in 303 at the time of her marriage at 15 years of age.

From 331 Cheodar and Clemenia reigned as joint Monarchs over Alt Clut and the Barzel Islands and on the death of Cheodar in 354 she continued to reign as the Regnant Queen of Dumbarton and the Barzel Islands. She made her son Clemens or Cluim (aka Imar of Calalus) the Governor of the Barzel Islands and her grandson in turn after the death of her son in 376. They (her son and grandson) reigned from the Grail Castle on the Island of Avalon.

A descendant of King Cheodar was Mazadan the Grail King (b.380 d.450) who married Lady Frotmunda of the Grail (b.382) the daughter of Prince Boaz Anfortas of Man and Avalon (b.355) [the son of Titurel the Grail King (b.328)] and Lady Fridolina of the Grail (b.360) the daughter of Yochanan (Johanan/John) the Fisher King. Mazadan was the son of Cynloup Barzel aka Chuna the Iron Wolf (Claudius Ferreolus) the Chief of the Damnonii of Alt Clut and Lord of the Barzel (Brasil/Iron) Islands (b.344 d.398) and Lady Yochannah (Johanna) of Corinth (b.351), the daughter of Alexander the Bishop of Corinth son of John ben Judas (Yochanan ben Yehudah) the son of St Judas Cyriacus the Jewish Christian Bishop and Nasi of Jerusalem and Ancona (b.280 d.356). Mazadan reigned from the Grail Castle on the Isle of Avalon in the Eastern Barzel Islands, under the overlordship of his brother Tonantius, the Lord or Emperor of the Barzel Islands also called the Rosh Galuta Barzillai.

Mazadan's brother Nathan Barzillai (Tonantius Ferreolus) was a Roman Senator in Gaul and has been remembered in the Welsh genealogies as Tutagual (Tuduvallus) the King of Galloway. Tonantius succeeded his father as the Lord of the Barzel Islands. Another brother Coroticus (Ceretic Gulectic) (b.375) succeeded their father as King of Strathclyde (Alt Clut) and reigned from 410-450.

Mazadan's son, Laziliez (Lazarus /Eliezer Barzillai) the Grail King (b.400 d.474) married Lady Zandra (Alexandra) a Jewish Princess of the House of the Sons of Alexander. He reigned at Avalon with his cousin Probus Tonantius II Ferreolus (aka Nathan II Barzillai the Tzaddik), a Roman Prefect in Gaul, as his overlord as Iron Lord of the Barzel Islands (b.390 d.475). His cousin Dynwal was the King of Strathclyde (r.450-475). The three branches of the family worked closely together in the Mining trade with Calalus.

Laziliez's son, Lambor (Zambor/Alexander) the Grail King aka Pwyll Pen Annwn (Lochlann) (b.421 d.501) married Rhiannon (Reyna/ Regana) (b.422) the daughter of Eudaf (Euhedd) Hen (Mar Judah Hen ben Mar Chuna) a Roman soldier and Jewish Prince (b.380). Lambor was the mystical Prince of Avalon and the Overlord of Lochlann or Annwn for a period, on behalf of his brother Arawn (Aaron) and his brother-in-law was Hafgan or Halfdan of Lochlann or Annwn.

Lambor's son, Pellinor or Pyll Mor (the Hidden Light) the Grail King (b.440 d.514) married Lady Tamar of Gododdin (b.450), the daughter Georgi (Gurgust/ Gwrgi) the King of the Gododdin aka St George the Dragon Slayer aka George of Lud (London/ Lydda)) (b.420) and his wife Lady Tamar of Britain (b.420), the daughter of Eudaf Hen (Mar Judah Hen ben Mar Chuna) a Roman soldier and Jewish Prince (b.380).

Pellinor's daughter Tegaus Vron married Caw who was King of Strathclyde from 495 to 501, after he deposed Tutagual but he was then deposed in 501 and left for Wales. Caw was also known as Caunus or Nau and was a son of King Cinuit of Alt Clut (a son of Coroticus) and a brother of Tutagual. Caw established a sub-Kingdom or Principality in the North of Gwynedd that included the south east of Angelsey. When he died around 520 he was succeeded by his son Huaill (aka Cuillum) who was allied with King Arthur Mor. Huaill's brother Celyn succeeded him.

Pellinor's son, Pelles (the Hidden One) the Grail King (b.467 d.524) married Princess Cinuita of the North (Hen Ogledd) (b.464 d.499) the daughter of Enion Yrth the King of the North (Hen Ogledd) (b.427 d.500) and Lady Prawst of the Gewisse (b.440), the daughter of Neithon (or Nathan Todros) the Judiarch of the Gewisse (Gwent) aka Theodosius the Younger (Tewdfalch) the King of the Gewisse (Gwent) (b.420 d.489) and Lady Corun of Gododdin (b.422). Pelles' daughter Pelana (b.492) married Clinoch the King of Strathclyde (b.490 d.530). His son Amfortas was the Grail King who married Cadia or Cadzow of Cadodu. Their daughter of the same name married a son of King Lot.

A descendant of the Grail King Pelles was Alphin (Elfin) the King of Strathclyde (b.635 d.693) (the son of Eugain (Owen/Erbin) (b.615 d.646) the King of Strathclyde) who married an Irish Princess Tamar of Uisnech in the Midi, the daughter of King Diarmait Dian of the Midi (b.620 d.689) and Princess Tamar of Strathclyde. Their son, Teudebur the King of Strathclyde (b.670 d.750) married Lady Ava of Hesbaye (b.692 at Hesbaye in Belgium) thus uniting the two Grail Dynasties. His daughter, Princess Eirica (Eirikur/ Arika) of Strathclyde and Hesbaye (b.712) was the Queen of Ivar the Wide Fathomed of Lethra and Denmark.

Count Sigrand of Hesbaye (b.710 d.798) was born at Dumbarton in Scotland as the second son of King Teudebur and Lady Ava of Hesbaye of the mysterious Judeo-Christian Grail Family who had custody of the Grail Platter. Whereas, the Kings of Strathclyde were descended from the mysterious Judeo-Christian Family who were custodians of the Grail Cup. In 728 when he was 18, he was married to his cousin Princess Landree of Franks, the daughter of Charles Martel and Lady Rotrud (Ruth) of Hesbaye who was the sister of Queen Ava of Strathclyde.

Rotrud also had the name or title Schwanhilde (the Swan Maiden) as a kind of Queen or Lady of the Grail and head of the women of the family who preserved the unique Davidic Judeo-Christian traditions, as a type of Queen Esther. The Hesbaye family had left the Persian Empire due to the persecution of the Persian Kings of the Davidic families, both Jewish and Judeo-Christian. Sigrand was selected to be the Count of Hesbaye. His grandfather was Leiven or Lambert of Hesbaye who was the married Judeo-Christian Bishop of Treves and Metz who was the Guardian of the Grail Platter.

Sigrand threw his support behind his father-in-law Charles Martel whose paternal grandmother was also of the Hesbaye family. Sigrand's daughter Rolande (b.737) married Yakar the youngest son of the Jewish King of Narbonne and Septimania. Yakar was also known as Guibert or Gilbert of Narbonne and Rouergue (as well as Gunderland, Guibelin, Alberic and Adalemo) who had been crucified by the Saracens but survived. These mysterious Grail King Guardians and the dynasty of the Schwanhildes, is rather confusing as the genealogies mention them as Counts of Metz, Treves and Hesbaye.

Trump of Salvation: Childe Gilbert's Crucifixion

Childe Gilbert the crucified one

Forerunner of the victims of Islamic terror

Jews and Christians targeted together

you a Jewish son of Jewish Septimanian King

Reigning in the citadel of Narbonne

Sweet child of David’s seed

A later icon of a Crucified One

That pale Galilean that conquered.

Your father Machir Theodoric

The Aimeri of Chansonic legend

in union with the great Martel

delivered cocky France from the Saracen scourge

Narbonne for period of seven years

Clear of Sharia oppression.

Machir to canny Aberdeen did go

In order to wed a second bride

Leaving his youngest child by the first

That pure and innocent Childe Gilbert

To face the second beastly pestilence that descended

On peaceful Jewish Septimania

Upon a cross they did crucify

The young circumcised Jewish prince

Who survived this holocaust of the wicked

With the help of his mamzer cousin

The fabulous and charming Milo

Scion of the dynasty called Grail

Do we see his latter day image

in the fake blonde Yiannopoulos?

Childe Gilbert after return of bold Machir

From Caledonian darkness

now Lord of Toulousan Rouergue

Becomes hidden in the mists of legend

A lost song of the middle ages

Once again in time of clash of civilizations

A revived Carolingian alliance

of Jew, Converso and Christian

To holt the Beast system

To bring forth the Kingdom

Through holy hours of battle

In Eucharistic intercession.

Once more is lifted high

The all conquering

Sign of Contradiction

Gathering as Ensign to the Nations

Warriors and Knights

To fight that good fight

In this Darkest of Nights

When all the Lights

Are rapidly blown out

By jihadist bombs

And fifth columnist media devastation.

All paused before the Void

We await the Trump of salvation,

Is it false hope with bad blonde hairdo

Or has a new Cyrus of the Far West

Arisen in the Manasseh nation?

Count Alfbard in Frisia (b.720 d.786) married Princess Alpais of Franks (b.722) daughter of Charles Martel the King of Franks (b.686 d.741) and Lady Rotrud (Ruth/Schwanhilde) of Hesbaye (b.690 d.724) the daughter of Lievin (Levi/Luitvin) of Hesbaye the Bishop of Treves and the Guardian of the Grail Platter (b.669 d.741) and Lady Ruth (Rotrud) of Neustria (b.674) the daughter of Chrodobertus II (Reuben) Count of Neustria (b.653). Count Alfbard was a son of Count Poppon (Bobbo) in Frisia (b.690 d.738) and Princess Alfhild of Lethra in Sweden (b.692) daughter of Halfdan the Valiant King of Lethra in Sweden (b.660) and Moalda Digri Princess of Wessex (b.667) the daughter of Cenwalh King of Wessex (b.625 d.674) and Sexburga of East Anglia the Queen of Wessex and Queen Consort of Kent (b.622 d.699).

Count Alfbard was male line descended from Count Godwulf in Frisia (b.345) the son of King Geat (Jat) of the Chauci (b.320). Another of Alfbard's male-line ancestors was Beroaldus the King of Frisia (b.475 d.545) who lived in the days of High-King Arthur Mor of Britain. Beroaldus married a sister of King Arthur called Brita (b.503). Beroaldus's mother was Clotilde a sister of King Clovis (b.466 d.511) of the Franks.

High-King Arthur (Arthur Mor) b.499 belonged to the Davidic House and was the son of Huna Mar (called Chunan Meriadoc in Brittany/ Mar Ahunai in Babylon/ Cunomor or Mark in Cornwall/ Mar in the Pennines). This Jewish Catholic Royal Davidic Dynasty was descended from Joseph of Arimathea and the Babylonian Exilarchs. Huna Mar's father was the British High-King Theodoric (Tudwal) who was known as Nathan Todros as the Jewish Catholic Exilarch or Judiarch of the Gewisse (Jews) of Cornwall and Somerset. When Huna Mar was a boy he was sent by his father to the great Jewish Catholic Academy in Persia (Sarras) at Takhte Sulieman -the Throne of Solomon - in the Zagos Mountains.

When Mar Zutra II the Babylonian Exilarch rose up against his Persian masters and established an autonomous Jewish Kingdom based on the city of Mahoza around 495- 500 AD Huna Mar allied himself with Mar Zutra and married Mar Zutra's daughter Abiane. After their marriage Huna visited his father in Britain and Arthur (Mar Dov) was born at Tintagel in Cornwall in his grandfather's fortress. His grandfather Nathan Todros (Tudwal) the British King and Judiarch b.459 later retired in 505 as High-King and settled in the woods near Tintagel to focus on Eucharistic Adoration (a Grail chapel) and was known as St Nectan.

Arthur's brothers were Kafnai, Gideon and Solomon. Kafnai was also known as Custennin or Constantine in Britain. Gideon was known as Gadeon, Gradlon and Gabhran. Huna Mar and Abiane and their children returned to the East to assist Mar Zutra in the defence of the Jewish kingdom of Mahoza (somewhere between 502-508). The Persians defeated the Jewish forces and executed him on the Mahoza bridge. Huna and his family returned to Takhte Suleiman where he left his children and wife while he returned to Britain to become High-King of Britain and Brittany.

Arthur left Takhte Suleiman around 515 and after he became High-King he sent for his brothers who he made under-king's of Cornwall and Brittany. When Arthur was killed (or wounded) in 539 his brother Kafnai, as Constanine the King of Cornwall, became High King, during a time of disasters and plagues caused by the comet. The effects of this comet were described by Gildas, the 6th century British historian, in a passage that few historians have understood until now:

"The fire of righteous vengeance, kindled by the sins of the past, blazed from sea to sea. Once lit, it did not die down. When it had wasted town and country, it burned up the whole surface of the island until its red and savage tongue licked the western ocean. All the greater towns fell down. Horrible it was to see the foundations of towers and high walls thrown down bottom upwards in the squares, mixing with holy altars and fragments of human bodies.''

Around 550 Constantine abdicated and moved to Babylon with his son Tristam (Drust) and Arthur's young grandson Ithiel Hayyim and as the Exilarch Kafnai he reestablished the Babylonian Exilarchy. When the Persian King began a policy of exterminating the seed of David, Ithiel and some of the Davidic family fled via Takhte Suleiman and Armenia to the Frankish Empire.

Galahad (son of Lancelot) had become the Jewish Catholic Exilarch (Rosh Galuta) of Takhte Suleiman (Sarras) after the death of Arthur. His son Omer (Aumer/ Amr) ha Ari fled with his relatives taking the Holy Grail Platter with him to Frankish Germany. The Grail Castle at Takhte Suleiman in Persia was of a round design and it was a common Eucharistic (the round white host) design of the Grail or Manna chapels of Eucharistic Adoration in Ireland and Britain.

Lady Doda of Frisia (Frisland on Lochlann) (b.583 d.622) married Arnold (Aron ha Aluf/ Arnulf) of Metz aka St Arnulf of Metz (b.582 d.640) a Jewish Christian Bishop who was the son of Arimandus the Count of Metz (b.560) [the son of Omer (Aumer) ha Ari of Sarras in Persia the Guardian of the Grail Platter (b.534)] and Lady Ita of Baghdad (b.568) the daughter of Arnold Ferreolus aka Aharon Barzillai of Metz (b.542) and Geveret Efrat of Baghdad and Sura (b.549).

Doda of Frisia's daughter, Lady Ita Dode of Metz (b.616 d.661) married Eugain (Owen/Erbin) the King of Strathclyde (b.615 d.646) the son of Beli I the King of Strathclyde (b. 595 d.642) and Lady Tamar of Brittany and Dal Riata (b.595 d.632) the daughter of Eochaidh Buidhe (Budic) the King of Dal Riata (Wledig or Gulectic) (b.560 d.629) and Lady Tamar (Tymyr) of Gwynedd (b.558). Her sister Cada became the Queen of Calalus as the wife of King Tegid of Calalus. Her brother was Clodule the Bishop-Guardian of the Grail Platter of Metz. Another brother was Angelisel (Angus/Lancelot/Angselus) of Metz (b.602 d.679).

The term Hen Ogledd was originally the Hebrew expression Hem haGalut or They of the Galut (diaspora or exile) and was a term used for the Jewish and Jewish-Christian Kingdoms of the North that were involved in the trade with Calalus alongside the Jewish and Jewish-Christian Kingdoms in Wales. The Overlord or High King of these Davidic ruled Kingdoms was the Galuta or Golus (Rosh haGaluta), which was called Gulectic in the North and the Wledig in the South.

The major kingdoms of the Hen Ogledd were Elmet, Gododdin, Rheged, and the Kingdom of Strathclyde (Welsh: Ystrad Clud). Smaller kingdoms included Aeron and Calchfynydd, Eidyn, Lleuddiniawn, and Manaw Gododdin were evidently parts of Gododdin. The Angle kingdoms of Deira and Bernicia both had Brittonic-derived names, suggesting they may have been Brittonic kingdoms in origin. All the kingdoms of the Hen Ogledd except Strathclyde were either integrated or subsumed by the emerging Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and Picts by about 800; Strathclyde was incorporated into the rising Middle Irish-speaking Kingdom of Scotland in the 11th century. (Wikipedia entry on Hen Ogledd)

Aeron or Auon was the Island of Avalon (now under the sea to the south of Lochlann) connected to the Grail Kings and one of the Eastern Barzel (Brasil) Islands. Ayrshire was an extension of the Kingdom of Aeron on the coast of Scotland. Calchfynydd was Calalus in North America. Eidyn was connected to the Tuatha de Danaan as the Isle of Dan and they also ruled an area around Edinburgh in Scotland. Eidyn may have referred also to the eastern half of Lochlann. Lleuddiniawn referred to Lochlann and the Lothian area of Scotland. The Manaw Gododdin refer to the settlement of the Mannan whose homeland was in America.

Diarmait mac Cerbaill the High King of Ireland (Tara) aka Domangart King of Dal Riata (b.485 d.565) married Lady Tamar of the Grail and Guardian of the Stone (b.490 d.545) the daughter of Pellinor the Grail King (b.440 d.521) and Lady Tamar of the Gododdin and Guardian of the Stone.

These Jewish and Jewish Christian descendants of the House of David were known as the Nesiim and Exilarchs (Rosh Golus or Gulectic) but were later remembered as Kings as they had a political-religious function. The first British historian Gildas wrote that in the 5th century after the end of Roman rule in Britain the practice of the anointing of kings occurred.

Many of the early British kings were referred to with the name of Gulectic or Wledig which comes from the Jewish word Galuta or Golus for exile. In English we say Exilarch for the Hebrew Rosh Galuta or Rosh Golus. This is also the orgin of the name of Glastonbury or the Isle of Glas (Golus). Nennius refers to the Overlord of the British as the Gulectic.

These Judeo-Christian Exilarchs drew on the ceremonial of the Davidic King of the Bible, modified and adapted with that practiced by the Babylonian Exilarchs, in developing a unique Christian ceremony of the Anointing of Kings. Legends speaks of the French king Clovis receiving anointing in 493 and Adomnan writes of St Columba anointing King Aedan in 574.

These Davidic Nessiim were honoured as possessing a special grace or gift of rulership by Jews, Christians and Muslims. The Rosh Golus or Exilarch was selected from among the leading Nessiim or Princes of the Davidic lineage so an Exilarch held a higher position than a Nasi. These Judeo-Christian Exilarchs were also called Dag Adon (Dagda) which means Fish Lord or Dayeg Adon (Fisher Lord), as well as HaMelekh Nuna (Hamnuna) which means the Fish King.

Lord Petrus was a maternal grandson of St Joseph of Arimathea of the Davidic House of Nathan and the paternal grandson of St Peter of the Tribe of Zebulon of the House of Jonah. Lord Petrus had Davidic Nasi status through his mother. Lord Petrus was the son of Chana or Anna the daughter of Mar Joseph of Arimathea by St Mark (Eleazar bar Shimon) the son of St Peter (Shimon ben Yochanan of Beit Yonah) the Sailor and Big Fisherman.

St Joseph of Arimathea gave his grandson Petrus a sacred letter which he took to the West of Glastonbury (the Glas or Golus Isle) to the Isle of Avalon or the Isle of Apples (Pomorum Isle or Fortunata Isle) which later would be called Lochlann. We know this island was the home of the famous Morgan Le Fay. Petrus was to live in the Vale of Avalon until the coming of Perceval over 400 years later when at last he could die. It is also possible that Joseph or his son Gilead/ Galahad (Josephes) also entrusted the Holy Grail or Cup of the Last Supper to Petrus which Perceval entrusted along with the Sacred Letter to Lancelot's son Galahad.

The wounded King Arthur was taken to this Isle to the care of the Amazon Healers who lived on the Island. Morgana or Morgana Le Fay is a title for the Amazon Priestess Queen of Lochlann. Princess Morgana of Dal Riata the sister of Arthur of Dal Riata is different to her older namesake Morgana La Fay who married Llywarch Hen Calchfynydd (Llywarch the Graceful) the King of Calalus. An older Morgana La Fay was one of the Queens who took the wounded King Arthur the Great to Avalon/Lochlann. Arthur of Dal Riata also had a daughter called Morgana by his second wife or lover Lady Lionor (Ariela/ the Lioness).

Galefort is to be identified with Traprain Law in East Lothian. Its older name was Dunpendyrlaw or the fort of the Pendragon Elidyr. Pendragon or Ben Dragon Slayer Elidyr (Elutherius/Uther) was the father-in-law of the original King Arthur. Corbenic was in Cambernic Brynaich (later called Bernicia) and was the home of Lancelot (son of Anlach of Bennic or Brynaich/ L'Angus). Lancelot was also known as Brychan and was the founder of the Welsh Princedom of Brychneiniog. Lancelot in later life was known as St Brychan. Today Corbenic is called Corbridge in Northumberland.

The southern Gododdin were also called the Manau or Manau or Manannan. The Isle of Man was also called Manannan. Manannan was a son of the Jewish Christian Rosh Galuta Rafael II Llyr (Loir/Lear). Manannan promoted the Jewish Christian practice of Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and established a Grail Castle or Chapel on the Isle of Man. The name refers to the heavenly Bread as Manna or Man and those who adore Jesus as the Man Am (People of the Manna or adorers of the Manna). Many places bore the name of Man as they originally that had chapels of Eucharistic Adoration.

Machir Todros or Aimeri was also known as Theodoric or Theuderic the Duke of Narbonne and Count of Autun among the Frankish peerage. His father, Eudes (Judah Zakkai) abdicated as King of Aquitaine in 735 and returned to Babylon where he was to succeed his father-in-law as the Babylonian Exilarch. Machir Todros ben Judah Zakkai and Aude (Alda/Alba) had four sons Menachem (Hernaut de Gironde/ Harald Hildetonn), Nehemiah ha Makiri (Aymer le Chetif/Theuderic of Ripaurien and Saxony/ Namon of Bavaria/ Naime/ Namus), Nathan Kalonymus (Guilluame de Gellone/William of Septimania) and the youngest Yakar (Guibelin/ Gui Alberic of Narbonne/ Bellon).

Sussannah the mother of Machir is called Blanchefleur or the White Flower or Rose. In Hebrew the name is Shoshanah (White Rose or Lily) and in Ladino it is Roza. She was a descendant of the Blanchfleur that went to Babylon in the legends of the Grail. Sussanah was called Roza and Rozalinde. Linde means pretty in Spanish. She was the Pretty Rose. Shoshanah ha Yafa was the daughter of Hananiah ben David the Babylonian Exilarch. She was the maternal grandmother of Charlemagne whose Jewish name was David Kalonymus.

Haymon or Ithiel Hayyim I of the Davidic Exilarch family were closely allied with the Jewish Christian Bishops descended from Galahad. They brought with them the Grail platter from its Grail Castle in Persia in the city of Takte Solomon by a beautiful Lake, which was the city of Sarras in the Grail legends. In the past I had thought that the House of Hesbaye was of Levitical and Aaronite descent but further research demonstrates that they are of Davidic descent from Galahad the Grail Priest-King of Sarras. They were also known as the Priest Kings of Arak (in Persia).

The name En (An or On) in Sumerian means a Priest-King. Omer ha Ari's brother was known as Aron as well as the En or Priest King of Arak (from which comes the Frankish name of Archenauld/ Erchenaud). These Davidic Jewish Christian Fisher or Priest Kings continued their role of guarding the Grail and practicing Eucharistic Adoration for many generations. They became known as the Hesbaye family in the Frankish Empire.

When the Grail family first came to the Pesian Empire via Armenia they settled in the mountains of Takte Solomon named for their ancestor Solomon II the Babyonian Exilarch and the grandfather of Joseph of Arimathea. Their descendant Cunomor or Chuna Mar was the father of King Arthur Mor married Ava (or Abiane) a daughter of Mar Zutra II the King of the Jewish State of Mahoza and the Babylonian Exilarch.

The term Guletic for the King of the Britons comes from the title Resh Guluta (Head of the Exile). Arthur was also known as the son of Uther Pen Dragon (Pedr). This Uther was Elutherius or Elidyr his father-in-law the Head Dragon. Galahad would return with the Holy Grail to Persia and it would make its way West again at a later date.

Phares a son of Nathan the Red the Fisher Lord (Dayag Adon) of Tara in Ireland first settled at Galefort (Trapain Law) in Lothian Scotland. Lothian was also called Lleuddiniawn or Leudonia. It was here that the first Perpetual Eucharistic Grail Roundhouse was built. Galefort was abandoned for about 50 years and then resettled in 220 AD. Phares grandson Mar Gideon (Cadvan of Cambria/Camelon) established a new centre at Colonia (Camelon) in the first half of the 2nd century that became the seat of the Rosh Galuta Scoti.

Rafael I Judah also known as Gaius Julius Bassus was the ruler of the area of Bassus (Bass Rock) in Scotland and a Guardian-Bishop (Exilarch) of the Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Temple or roundhouse of polished stone at Camelon. It was also called a Temple of the Sun due to its black shining stone monstrance with sun rays. It was also known as the House of Manna and the Grail Castle. It was also called El-Gabal or El Kabalah which means God's Mountain or God's received Tradition. It was here that the original Lebor Ghabala (Book of the Kabbalah) was written and preserved. They were known as the Mysteries of the Way of Emmaus. Roman historians have misplaced Julius and his family in Syria and confused Emesa with Emmaus. In fact he is a descendant of the Syrians St Joseph of Arimathea, Nascien and Evelake.

Julius Bassus' daughter known as Julia Domna (Lady Julia) married the future Emperor Septimius Severus and their son the future Emperor Caracalla was born in Scotland at Lughdunum (Glen Lyon) and their second son the future Emperor Geta in Rome. Severus was to die in York (Eboracum) after returning to Britain. Julia Domna's sister Julia Maesa (Julia of Emmaus) married Julius Avita a Knight of the Grail. She had two daughter's whose sons became the Emperors Elagabalus and Alexander Severus.

One daughter was Julia Soaemius who married Sextus Varius Marcellus also a Scottish Knight of the Grail. Their son Elagabalus tried to combine the Scottish Eucharistic Jewish Christian rites known as the Mysteries of the Way of Emmaus with the Roman religion. These rites included Davidic joyful dancing before the Eucharistic Sun Monstrance and Joyous Eucharistic processions. The memory of them have come down to us in the Nursery Rhyme of Old King Cole the Merry old soul. This would have pleased neither the Roman religious establishment or the Gentile Christian Church which was not familiar with these Jewish Christian rites at this stage.

There were at least four locations called Avalon associated with the Judeo-Christian Exilarchic dynasy. There was Glastonbury Tor, there was a island called Avalon between Scotland and the bigger island of Avalon Gorray (Avalon the Greater) on which was found the Valley of Avalon and the Grail Castle. The fourth location was in ancient Tasmania which was named Avalon by King Arthur when he moved to the antipodes and established a apple orchard there.

St Joseph of Arimathea may have also built a wattle and daub Church similar to the one in Glastonbury in Calleva (modern Silchester) that was found by archeologists in 1957-8 and has been dated to the period of 25-43 AD. There is also another Church or Synagogue building found in Calleva dated to the 2nd century which was excavated in 1892. These Churches or synagogues face west similar to the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. It would seem that St Joseph of Arimathea built a Roman-Jewish fruit orchard in Calleva and Glastonbury along side or around these Roman-Judeo-Christian Eucharistic Chapels or Grail Chapels as a kind of meditative Garden of Eden similar to the stations of the Cross, preparing one to enter the Holy of Holies of the Grail Chapel to adore the Divine Presence in the Blessed Sacrament.

It would seem that its contained 13 varieties of fruit linked to the 13 qualities of mercy or Chesed Middot in the Jewish mystical tradition. These fruit trees were apple (emunah), walnut (ratzon), fig (taanug), date (yichud), olive (bitul), almond (simchah), pear (ahavah), damson (yirah), mulberry (rachamim), plum (bitachon), cherry (temmimut) and pine (emet) trees as well as grape vines (shiflut) on a lattice work circular wall surrounding the mystical orchard.

According to the prohecy of the Bard Melkin the tomb of St Joseph of Arimathea will come to light in the future.

The Isle of Avalon,

greedy for the death of pagans,

more than the rest of the world,

for the entombment of them all,

decorated beyond all others

by the spheres of portentous prophecy.

In the future,

adorned shall it be by them

that praise the Most High.

Abbadare mighty in Saphat,

noblest of pagans,

has found sleep with 104 other knights there.

Amid these Joseph in marble
Of Arimathea by name
Hath found perpetual sleep
And he lies on a two-forked line
Next the south corner of an oratory
Fashioned of wattles
For the adoring of a mighty Virgin

and where the aforesaid Thirteen spheres rest.

In his sarcophagus
Two cruets, white and silver
Filled with blood and sweat
Of the Prophet Jesus
When his sarcophagus
Shall be found entire, intact
In time to come, it shall be seen

And shall be open unto all the world
Thenceforth nor water nor the dew of heaven
Shall fail the dwellers in that ancient isle
For a long while before
The day of judgment in Josaphat
Open shall these things be
And declared to living men.

Here is the original Latin:

Insula auallonis auida funere paganorum, pre ceteris in orbe ad sepulturam eorum omnium sperulis propheciae vaticinantibus decorata, & in futurum ornata erit altissimum laudantibus. Abbadare, potens in Saphat, paganorum nobilissimus, cum centum et quatuor milibus domiicionem ibi accepit. Inter quos ioseph de marmore, ab Armathia nomine, cepit sompnum perpetuum; Et iacet in linea bifurcata iuxta meridianum angulum oratori, cratibus praeparatis, super potentem adorandam virginem, supradictis sperulatis locum habitantibus tredecim. Habet enim secum Ioseph in sarcophago duo fassula alba& argentea, cruore prophete Jhesu & sudore perimpleta. Cum reperietur eius sarcofagum, integrum illibatum in futuris videbitur, & erit apertum toto orbi terrarium. Ex tunc aqua, nec ros coeli insulam nobilissimam habitantibus poterit deficere. Per multum tempus ante diem Judioialem in iosaphat erunt aperta haec, & viventibus declarata.

There were five Desposyni Jewish Christian Sees in the East. these Eastern Sees were Jerusalem (See and House of Jacob/ James) , Antioch (See and House of Zachary), Alexandria (See and House of Matthias), Kinyani (See and House of Yohannan/ John) and Takte Sulieman (See and House of Simeon).

The Holy Grail

The Abba Abbot (Father of Fathers) of the Jewish Christian Sees was the Abba Joseph (Joses) of Avalon (Glastonbury). He was also known as the Rosh Galuta (Golus) Briti. Avalon was granted this position due to its founder St Joseph of Arimathea being a believer in Jesus during his Ministry whereas the other founders of the 'brethren of Jesus' did not believe in him until after the Resurrection.

When Pinchas (Fenius Farsa) returned from the East (Babylon and the Holy Land) he took the Stone to Scotland to Galefort around 120 AD when he became the Rosh Galuta Scoti. When Pinchas ben Phares' son Mar Gideon founded Camelon the Stone was taken there. A grandson of Pinchas called Gaedal Glas ben Niall returned the Stone of Jacob to Tara after 150 AD. Gaedal Glas (Gatelo) was appointed the Rosh Galuta Briganti in Spain at the Eucharistic Tower (Tower of Hercules) that had been converted by his great grandfather Phares into a Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel (Grail Chapel).

Philologus (Adon Glas Zerah) was succeeded as Abba Abbot of Avalon by Bron's brother-in-law Josue son of Heli. Josue was succeeded by his nephew Alain li Gros son of Bran the Blessed. Alain was succeeded by Simeon the Blessed son of Adon Glas Philologus. Simeon was succeeded by Alain's son Aminadab (Adminius III) [born circa 80 AD). Amminadab was succeeded by his kinsman Gaedal Glas (Gatelo). Gaedal Glas was succeeded by Amminadab's son Alphanye (Alef Hanya/ Chief Hananiah).

Alphanye was succeeded by his son Dowall (or David)[born circa 100] as Fisher King and Abba Abbot of Avalon . Alphanye's other son Catheloys founded the Grail Chapel or Castle for Perpetual Adoration at Corbenic (Corbridge) in the middle of the 2nd century and began a dynasty of Fisherkings or Grail kings in this northern Roman town. His relative Nathan (Mogh Nuada) of Ireland (son of Rabbi Meir) succeeded Catheloys as the Abbot of Avalon (Glas Isle) after his move to Corbenic.

There is a tradition that Jesus visited Cornwall and Somerset with St Joseph of Arimathea and that he not only helped build the wattle daub hut at Glastonbury (Glas Isle) that became a shrine for the Holy Grail that was the Cup of the Last Supper but he also refined silver from the British mines. It may have been at Calstock that Jesus visited and there learnt the trade of refining silver. Tamar was also known as the Lady Silva which can mean Lady of the Forest (in Latin languages) as well as alluding to the mining of Silver (in Germanic languages as well as the Basque and Celti-Iberian languages). The grandson of Isaac and Tamar was Solomon, who was also known as Silvanus and Cassivellaunas as the Jewish -Romano Lord of the tin (cassi) and silver mines of the British Isles and North America.

The Tamars were considered primarily as spiritual leaders or Royal Priestesses and they moved from the Tamar Valley to other places of Domnonian settlements in Britain and Ireland on a regular cycle of visitations including the shrines at Temhair in Galway and Temhair or Tara in Meath and to Colonia (Camelot) and Lughdunum (Glen Lyon) in Scotland.

Many of them would marry and move to their husband's home but on the death of their mother the reigning Tamar they would return to Tamaris or Tamara in Cornwall in the Tamar Valley where they would be anointed in a Davidic ritual and seated over the Stone of Jacob. The ritual included mention of the three Biblical Tamars -Tamar the wife of Judah, Tamar the daughter of David and Tamar the daughter of Absalom from whom Zedekiah's daughter Tamar was believed to descend and was thus the fourth Tamar.

The title of Mar (Lord/ Master) is a title associated with the Davidic Exilarchs of Babylon and their families. In the British Isles this Hebrew title became Mawr or Mor and came to mean the Great. The medieval Romances of Arthur and the Grail came forth firstly in France from the same region as the Romances of Aimeri of Narbonne. These Romances were spread by the Troubadours of Provence and Aquitaine. The Troubadours of France seemed to have access to a rich tradition coming from the Royal descendants of Machir Theodoric of Narbonne's family.

Until the mid tenth century many of these families such as the Counts of Toulouse and the Dukes of Aquitaine remained openly Jewish. Later generations sought to hide these Jewish origins. These trouvadors had access to information that connected these families to Arthur. From this same source in Southern France came the pre-Lurainic Kabbalah which seems to have much in common with the mysticism of the Holy Grail.

I have in previous blog posts over the years written about the Eucharistic Chapels or Round House Grail chapels built by the Davidic Judeo-Christian Exilarchic descendants of St Joseph of Arimathea in the British Isles, Persia and America and the later Ringforts by his Judeo-Christian and Jewish descendants in pre-Columbus America and Britain and Ireland. I have also written about St Joseph's descendant Brother Phares of Caledonia who moved from south west Britain to Scotland. This is all connected to the trade with Calalus and the sunken Islands of Avalon and Lochlann. I have also mentioned the Grail Castle on Avalon and its Judeo-Christian Exilarchic Rulers.

The original Grail Castle on Avalon was built and designed by Petrus, the maternal grandson of Joseph of Arimathea (and paternal grandson of St Peter) who was also his disciple, or by his descendants and/or the descendants of Brother Phares of Caledonia. According to Grail legends Petrus lived for over 400 years on Avalon. Avalon has often become confused with Glastonbury where St Joseph of Arimathea established his Grail chapel. The Grail Chapel in the wattle-daub building built by St Joseph of Arimathea and Jesus (according to tradition) at Glastonbury, is different to the Grail Castle on Avalon.

The architect, archeologist and excavator, Frederick Bligh Bond (1864-1945), reconstructed the early Glastonbury Church as round and set within a fenced enclosure with twelve cells. The Abbey built over this ancient Church or Chapel was burnt down in 1184 and was completely destroyed. The Lady Chapel was then built on what is thought to have been the older church or Grail Chapel location. The later Brochs were based on this round shape of the original Grail Chapel at Glastonbury but with added climatic innovations against the cold weather.

Based on this innovative design that allowed a controlled climate environment within the Broch that could be warm in winter and cool in summer, these round Grail Castles or Brochs were built throughout the Caledonian controlled Kingdom. It was an adaptation of the Tower of David in Jerusalem with a synagogue or Chapel on the top of the tower. However, rather than being a physical watchtower that looked out for approaching enemies it was a spiritual watchtower that sought to do spiritual battle at the Eucharistic gateway.

We know that around 100 AD the Romans were already experimenting and using see through glass windows. Did these Brochs originally have a partially glass roof that let in the light? Were the stone walls also given a daub and whitewashing coating to make them more water resistant? Did they add ochre (limonite) to this mixture to give the Brochs a golden -yellow appearance with a shining glass roof, which looked like a giant shining pearl from the distance.

At the excavations of the Glastonbury Lake Village archeologists have found fragments of hard backed yellow clay, which is believed to be daub from the roundhouse buildings at this site. Thus it is likely that the Grail Chapel on Glastonbury Tor also had this yellow coloured daub and is why the later Brochs also used this kind of yellow ochre.

Was Inis Witrin or the Glass Isle the place where the Romano-British glass workers produced the glass for the Brochs? Is this the same place as the Isle of Avalon or is it another island in the North Sea? This Romano-British glass may have been of a greenish-blue tint like much Roman glass. Thus the greenish-blue glass roofs of the Broch may have symbolised the concept of the Sapphire Blue Pavement mentioned in Scripture and represented by the Bronze Laver in the Jewish Tabernacle and Temple.

Did the original round chapel at Glastonbury also have a dome with glass windows which later was replaced by a lead roof? Was the glass used for stained glass windows of the original Abbey in the 9th or 10th century? Was this idea of domes with glass in Scotland the forerunner of the later Churches and Cathedrals using stain glass?

Is this partly why Glastonbury was associated with the name the Glass Isle and is the origin of the gold mountain with a crystal or Glass or Pearl palace in fairy tales and folklore based on these Brochs? Was this glass later removed to be used for stained glassed windows in Churches and Cathedrals after the end of this Dark Ages Ice Age?

These fairytales usually speak of a beautiful Princess living in such castles. Are these the Grail Maidens? Or the Abbesses of the Pictish Christian communities? Are these women who lead the Eucharistic Adoration the original of the concept of the Lady of Shalott and the Grail Maidens (Ladies of the Grail or Grail Queens)?

Is the actual Grail Chapel in the roof of these towers with their glass windows looking out on the surrounding land? Were the roofs conical or domed shaped? It is possible that after the domed glass roofs were removed they may have been replaced with thatched conical roofs as speculated by some researchers. Those near the sea and other waterways may have served the dual purpose of being a spiritual lighthouse and a physical lighthouse with a perpetually burning flame in the Glass Chapel at the top of the Broch.

The legends speak of an Isle of Avalon and a Valley of Avalon. Are these two different locations with Brochs or Grail Castles on them. The Isle of Avalon (Anton Dohrn Seamount) may have been a square shaped Island that is now under the Ocean between Scotland and the large Island also called Avalon Gorray or Galoches (aka the Rokall Plateau) which had the Valley of Avalon (on the lower western side of the Rokall Plateau or Bank) on it and was confused later by some with the Isle of Man.

Thus the original designer or the King, who promoted these innovative Towers called Brochs, may have been a King Brochmail (aka Brochfael or Brochwel or Rafael the Blessed). The best preserved Broch is Mousa Broch on Mousa Island which may have been named originally for a man called Moses which may refer to the Moses mentioned in the Grail legends rather than coming from the Norse word for Moss.

The old Glastonbury legends speak of the original Grail Church as being built by the hands of Christ himself. Did Jesus and Joseph originally build it for St Joseph of Arimathea and his Jewish workers as a watch tower Synagogue, similar to the Tower of David and possibly to the original Tower of Zion, where later the first Eucharist would be celebrated (Cenacle)? After the Resurrection, St Joseph of Arimathea returned to Glastonbury and converted his synagogue into a Judaeo-Christian Eucharistic Adoration chapel. As Pope Benedict XVI taught, the Eucharist was originally called the B'reicha or Brocha (blessing) and these Eucharistic Adoration chapels were fittingly called Brochs, both referring to the Eucharist (brocha) and the man (Boruch or Broch) who designed them.

The Dark Tower: Childe Gilbert's Lament

What is that Dark tower?

Is it false or true path?

Is it the four grey walls and towers

of a dystopian Lady of Shalott?

Or does it hide the mystery of the Grail

woven into that Dark Mirror beholding...

Childe Harold and Childe Roland,

Childe Gilbert of Narbonne,

by Saracens crucified but surviving,

Lancelot and Song of Roland,

blowing of horn?

-all is pilgrimage into Dark Night

Is it path to meet Joe Black,

or misty dark road to Avalon,

where singing of Jerusalem,

echoes over murky black waters through the ages,

to that "Countenance Divine",

among those "Dark Satanic Mills"?

Or is the Beast skulking once more to be born,

as in a Yeatesque apocalyptic vision,

in a technological Ragnarok,

stealing all the human children,

in a matrix-like web of deception?

Come away, genderless fairy child,

before the false light,

of newspeak political correctness,

of the Dark doubleplusgood,

comes to take you to an Orwellian room,

and beastly farmer kingdom.

Where is the Luddite when we need him,

in this twilight of the gods?

A Great romantic Monarch, Duke and Red-Cross Knight,

-who will free the digitalised and burdened Earth,

panting in end-time pangs and wails,

- in that image of Him that was nailed.

Beyond the Tower-is the Chalice and the Lattice glimpsed,

Hidden in the darkness of the Womb,

the Womb that encloses and encompasses All

- waiting for the final push,

That will bring All to new birth,

Beyond the shades of Night's Dark Light,

walking in her Black Madonna Beauty,

from Dark Radiance into the Brilliant Brightness,

of She more radiant than the Noon-day Sun,

Czestochowa's God-like icon.

Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich wrote about the Holy Grail that was the Cup or Chalice of the Last Supper.

The chalice which the Apostles brought from Veronica’s house was wonderful and mysterious in its appearance. It had been kept a long time in the temple among other precious objects of great antiquity, the use and origin of which had been forgotten. The same has been in some degree the case in the Christian Church, where many consecrated jewels have been forgotten and fallen into disuse with time. Ancient vases and jewels, buried beneath the temple, had often been dug up, sold, or reset.

Thus it was that, by God’s permission, this holy vessel, which none had ever been able to melt down on account of its being made of some unknown material, and which had been found by the priests in the treasury of the temple among other objects no longer made use of, had been sold to some antiquaries. It was bought by Seraphia, was several times made use of by Jesus in the celebration of festivals, and, from the day of the Last Supper, became the exclusive property of the holy Christian community.

This vessel was not always the same as when used by Our Lord at His Last Supper, and perhaps it was upon that occasion that the various pieces which composed it were first put together. The great chalice stood upon a plate, out of which a species of tablet could be drawn, and around it there were six little glasses. The great chalice contained another smaller vase; above it there was a small plate, and then came a round cover. A spoon was inserted in the foot of the chalice, and could be easily drawn out for use.

All of these different vessels were covered with a fine linen, and, if I am not mistaken, were wrapped up in a case made of leather. The great chalice was composed of the cup and of the foot, which last must have been joined on to it at a later period, for it was of a different material. The cup was pear-shaped, massive, dark-colored, and highly polished, with gold ornaments, and two small handles by which it could be lifted. The foot was of virgin gold, elaborately worked, ornamented with a serpent and a small bunch of grapes, and enriched with precious stones.

The chalice was left in the Church of Jerusalem, in the hands of St. James the Less; and I see that it is still preserved in that town – it will reappear some day, in the same manner as before. Other Churches took the little cups which surrounded it; one was taken to Antioch, and another to Ephesus. They belonged to the patriarchs, who drank some mysterious beverage out of them when they received or gave a Benediction, as I have seen many times.

The great chalice had formerly been in the possession of Abraham; Melchisedech brought it with him from the land of Semiramis to the land of Canaan, when he was beginning to found some settlements on the spot where Jerusalem was afterwards built; he made use of it then for offering sacrifice, when he offered bread and wine in the presence of Abraham, and he left it in the possession of that holy patriarch. This same chalice had also been preserved in Noah’s Ark.

Thus, we have to ask - Was the Cup brought to Britain by St Joseph of Arimathea one of the six cups that accompanied the main Chalice or was it the main Chalice that was later returned to Jerusalem from Britain during the time of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem? It is interesting to note that in 1910 it was believed that a Holy Grail had been found in Antioch but others think it was an oil lamp. In a sense all the Chalices and Monstances used throughout the world are Holy Grails and its mystery is the miracle of transubstantiation in which the Messiah gives himself to us body, blood, soul and divinity in the Eucharistic Sacrifice of the Divine Liturgy or Mass.
