Viking Runes inside of Maes Howe - Orkadia

These runes are included here on the Limoux Poussin page because the rune inscriptions mention that "Crusaders broke into Maes Howe", it is mentioned twice. Also they tell of an ancient treasure that was taken from the Howe by one man in three days, this was written twice as well. "Another carving states, “That will be true which I say, that treasure was carried away. Treasure was carried away three nights before they broke this mound” (Cooijmans, Figure 11). It is thought that “they” refers to the “Jerusalem men” mentioned previously. Yet another inscription identifies the culprit: “Hókon alone carried treasure from this mound” (Cooijmans, Figure 12). While it is uncertain if treasure really ever was hidden at Maeshowe, and if it was taken away, the inscriptions are certainly fascinating examples of the kind of activity that could have occurred."

Sintra, Portugal - The Alchemical Castle

Regaleira Interior Alc - Portugal. Alchemy lab on the roof of the Alchemical castle." The land that is now Quinta da Regaleira had many owners over the years. It belonged to the Barons of Regaleira, a family of wealthy merchants from Porto, when it was sold in 1892 to Carvalho Monteiro for 25,000 réis. Monteiro was eager to build a bewildering place where he could collect symbols that reflected his interests and ideologies. With the assistance of the Italian architect Luigi Manini, he recreated the 4-hectare estate. In addition to other new features, he added enigmatic buildings that allegedly held symbols related to alchemy, Masonry, the Knights Templar, and the Rosicrucians. The architecture Manini designed evoked Roman, Gothic, Renaissance, and Manueline astyles. The construction of the current estate commenced in 1904 and much of it was completed by 1910." An Alchemical Christmas tree!

The Joker and Plantard`s Pope Card

The Rennes Popessa at Blanchfort Castle

Leave the lights on for me at Blanchfort Castle. The face of the Popessa is drawn in the archaic style of the Greek mosaics. Alchemy was the study of the Ptolemaic Greeks in Egypt like Kleopatra Alchemista who was a student of Maria Prophetessa.

The Orangerie at Rennes-le-Chateau

The Popessa of Rennes-le-Chataeu by Pierre Plantard

The Popessa of Rennes-le-Chateau sits on a thone which has been set up on the rampart leading out to the RLC tower which is behind her. From there we have an excellent view of the Chateau d` Hautpoul which was rebuilt in the 16th c. by the Hautpoul family, Marie d` Ables of the famous tombstone was the descendant who lived there. There is a room of the castle which dates back to the original structure constructed in the time of the Visigoths. The fortress was destroyed by the Albigensian crusade against the Cathars and also by the Spanish. To this day it is inhabited, the owner has a collection of artifacts discovered on the grounds. Plantard`s Popessa holds a large book as do other High Priestesses from different decks - those ladies probably hold the Bible. The Popessa of the Wirth deck holds a book with a Yin-Yang symbol on the cover while Plantard uses other alchemical symbols. The Yin-Yang sign is actually an ancient Chinese alchemical notation denoting the combination of elements in the heated crucible. The triangle and Infinity symbols on Plantard`s tome are the triangle with a dot - purifying fire, and the Infinity sign which is also used as the brim on the hat of the tarot Magician and the hat of the tarot Strength card. "The Yellow Book" was a famous alchemical book by Hermes, so her book yellow. In her other hand she holds the two crossed keys which are an ecclesiastical heraldic device, they are also used by the Freemasons as a Masonic jewel. Plantard has cropped this card so her crown does not show. As with the other trumps, this setting is a night scene. Plantard is telling us that the Popessa is a learned adept and an alchemist - she is a student of chemistry. Pierre Plantard, the Priory of Sion, and the Tarot are all champions of the spiritual importance of women.
