As for me and my part in the gathering, I did what I seem to do best – gather people together and engage the light and the dark in the dance of alchemy.
My Powerpoint presentation – Magdalene Myth and Magic – Skull & Bones – can be viewed by clicking here.
My story regarding this year’s gathering is connected to my poem Bacon and Oaks.
It was the third act of a dream script I created while studying with Robert Moss. The long and short of the script is that many things that transpired – in this 2004 dream sequence – had now aligned in my waking reality – before and during this year’s gathering.
Such as, you ask? Well, there are just too many dots to connect, but here’s one.
Between dreaming and writing the second and third act in 2004, I visited the Beinecke Rare Book Library at Yale University. Went there and viewed a reproduction of the Voynich Manuscript and Yale’s database of colorful illustrations.
Pages from the Voynich Manuscript
After studying it, the ending of the script, the poem, came through in the dreamtime, a few weeks after the story began.
This year, two days before the gathering, I went back to Beinecke and waited awhile to view the original manuscript. During my wait, I discovered that Beinecke has some interesting texts in their collection, such as The Mellon Collection of Alchemy and the Occult, of which there are 330 books. Thought it was interesting.
As an intuitive, it’s a delight to touch and feel an original item, as so many impressions can be picked up with extrasensory perception. So this year this opportunity manifested, after two months of working out the details. Given the poem and the intent of the gathering, I now feel a deeper connection to this strange little book, perhaps connected by the memories of the English alchemist and master adept, John Dee.
Or perhaps not; time will tell on that one.
John Dee
The manuscript has illustrations that are herbal, astronomical, pharmaceutical, biological, and cosmological. No one seems to agree on whether it’s a hoax or whether it’s real, and just about everything else in between seems to be in dispute as well. Guess that’s why it is still considered a mystery to this day.
But the manuscript plays into the mix, and throughout the week, it just kept bugging me.
The poem is written at the end of this story.I have often wondered of its true meaning.
Didn’t know about the Oak Island Mystery at the time of this dream, but as often happens with me, the right brain leads the left. So after the dream, the pieces started falling into place - like the mystery of Oak Island, Nova Scotia, and of Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. Still, I could never understand why this was my story.
By my home, before the storm
A voice finally came through down by the water, on the night of August 1, during the energies of the solar eclipse and new moon. I was feeling full of my shadow self and perhaps a touch of John Dee was breaking through my East Coast veneer, due north.
The voice said - for those who have interchangeable ears, put on your white ones, and come with me down the rabbit hole. And like Alice, I followed him into Wonderland.
The White Rabbit and Alice
As I journeyed deeper into the earth with him, the white rabbit told me it was time to learn rabbit language and understand the meaning of my poem. Rabbit language?
He said the bones of Mary Magdalene were taken to Oak Island, Nova Scotia, and that the Sinclairs were the chosen guardians of the relics by the Rex Deus Templars.
Really? Should I believe him, I asked myself?
Using the art of the incised skull and its inherent power of this sacred understanding, he said they were guided to “grow” the New Atlantis on the North American continent, since the chase in Europe had become even more vicious and ruthless and bloody.
“Why?” I curiously inquired.
“Well,” the white rabbit said, “the numbers were increasing, and this was a real threat to the Church of Rome. Starry night had to be laid upon the land, using ancient Phoenician maps, to find matching earth energies, to expand the original visions. By the loyal and persistent actions of the Sinclair clan, and some other surprise players on the stage, this work was finally accomplished.”
“Oak Island was a place where certain artifacts were buried, but not the true resting place of the grail, by connection to the Desposyni. That is another story entirely,” maintained the white rabbit, with a very matter-of-fact tone in his voice.
“The song is often connected to the stars but it is also connected to the inner earth. Bugarach Place is one way into the center,” he reminded me, “but there are other less visible entries into the world of these strange plants and creatures, and the dialect that operates by light, and of other-worldly things,” he added.
“As we awaken our key codes at this time of such grand stellar symphony, we remember many lifetimes all at once, as if the ancient songs are singing within us!” declared rabbit.
“But rabbit, I have heard we must swim with the great whales, and sleep deep inside our cranial bones. Is that true?” I asked, as if HE alone had all the answers.
“It is the genesis of a new age. The waters of Aquarius are beginning to flow. There is much to be revealed, for those who are ready, for those with interchangeable ears.”
Hmm, I thought. Magdalene always said to pay attention to what is underground. And on the walking tour of Yale at the gathering, we went to the gallery where she once appeared by the Van Gogh painting, and showed me the way underground.
And what appears to be connected to Yale Art Gallery is the secret society of the King Makers – Skull & Bones – right next door to it, I thought to myself.
Rabbit said that Sir Francis Bacon once reminded him that life is full of passion, so he told me to start living my life that way. He suggested I was playing it too safe! Really?
He reminded me the Templar order was created by Rex Deus, keepers of the records of the original time. “Their scrolls were found under the ground in the sacred place because they put them there in the first place!”
I was getting confused. Was I playing it too safe or was he giving me a clue to the code? I needed a break to do some thinking on my own, away from the white rabbit’s influence.
Back to the Voynich Manuscript, and to Ani Williams singing in the Cathar songs.
“The…Cathari Heresy…it was the only religion in which women had parity with men.” Solution of the Voynich Manuscript by Dr. Leo Levitov, p. 9.
Could the Voynich Manuscript be connected to the Cathars in a Cult of Isis sort of way? Perhaps as a manual for crossing over through death at a higher vibration, thus giving one more power in the other-world? Was it given to the Templars or some other guardians of the grail – during the dark times – for safe-keeping?
Maybe it eventually landed in the UK with other curious artifacts. Perhaps it was used as a guide to the secrets of regeneration? Surely I have gone mad, I thought!
But then I read the following:
“In 1978, the National Security Agency held a symposium devoted to the Voynich Manuscript, for which they have had a special interest since 1940.” Solution of the Voynich Manuscript by Dr. Leo Levitov, p. 13.
Now that’s curious, most curious indeed. Was it true? The NSA?
I didn’t get far before the white rabbit found me and yelled out as he approached. “They must be pure of heart!”
“Who?” I asked him.
He didn’t say but tells me Virginia is a current day key to the experiment, as is New York per the North American overlay. Then he tells me that the Grand Canyon can open a doorway, by way of Pharoah Akhenaten’s wizardry, and take me to a most glorious and pristinely preserved temple, buried deep beneath the sandy surface.
Akhenaten
“Venus is key to the pentagrams on the earth, laid out by the ancients to remind us of these remedial repositories that will yield their treasures at this juncture. The magical Glen of Roslin and the Rennes le Chateau region are but a few,” winked the rabbit.
“This intelligent design was placed long ago by the people from Sirius and Arcturus, with the help of the Lyra constellation and Asclepius, as the constellation Ophiuchus,” he says.
I was beginning to wonder if the white rabbit was completely out of his mind!
Deciding I had heard enough for the day, it was now time to leave Wonderland. I kept repeating this phrase, kinda like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, “Follow the yellow big rays, follow the yellow big rays, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.”
Nicole's painting
Yah, I followed the white rabbit down the hole to Wonderland. It was my choice.
It is always MY choice, Nicole reminds me – to first remember I have a choice, and then to allow the choice to play out, however it unfolds, unattached to outcome.
Sometimes I like it, and sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I’m bewildered, other times amused. Sometimes I can let go and sometimes I struggle with my own resistance.
Guess I could have decided not to use my imagination, and just stick to the world of prima facie evidence, only seeing what’s on the surface. But if I chose that, then I would never have ventured down the rabbit hole in the first place. And look what I’d be missing.
So this is my poem, from a rabbit hole perspective, in an interchangeable ears kinda way, with annotations of course, and the insights of The Third Annual Magdalene Gathering – A Templar Legacy in America. Did someone say I have to get Sirius now? Seriously?
In 1398 twelve ships set sail (Sinclair mission)
Within one bow the Holy Grail (Skull and Bones)
Seeding vision New Atlantis (Overlaying the Masonic blueprint)
Perpetually praying sacred mantras, (Chanting the tones with intent)
Emerging from the Castle walls (Originating from Rosslyn Castle)
Fleeing from the Church’s calls (To eradicate the entire truth)
To bury deep within Her birth (Many levels of meaning)
The treasure placed in Mother Earth, (Physical and energetic)
In stars and moons and weathered shells (Sacred geometry, Initiates of Isis)
Nature offers much and tells (The cycles of time)
The truth of royal bloodlines served (Rex Deus)
Amidst the shattered and unnerved, (The truth has many layers)
Underground lies fact from fiction (What is buried in the inner earth)
As naked ladies dance in diction (Cathar initiations)
The Apprentice Pillar tall and strong (DNA, the bridge between heaven and earth)
Foundation to this secret song, (The gold is in the blood)
Sinclair motion Bacon vision (Sinclair duties, progressive thinking)
DaVinci art a lifelong mission (To preserve heresy)
Curious markings lead us home (The Templar trail)
Set inside this crystal dome, (The Atlantis blueprint for regeneration)
Atlantis Jerusalem asleep no more (The great collective awakening)
Golden keys unlock the door (The Great Work)
To memories marked within our cells (Ancestral memories in our soul record)
The darkness deep within its wells, (It is all in the shadow self)
For I to seek the Golden Fleece (Enlightenment)
Upon the shores of sun-drenched Greece (The key to the Aegean)
Or watch Zep Tepi’s laugh and run (The Shining Ones)
Taking note and having fun, (It’s all a holographic experiment)
Embrace the unconditional state (Forgiveness and non-judgment)
Love the answer clears the slate (“All you need is love…”)
To speak anew with ancient tales (The pre-flood stories)
Of oceans singing with the whales, (The waters of the collective unconscious)
Souls guided by the flower’s scent (Plant based science is magic)
This fragrant moment heaven sent (The brain responds to scent)
To observe the shadow of the day (“The dark side of the moon…”)
Our feathered friends then fly away, (Language of the Birds)
Guardians of Light so well preserved (Rex Deus, Templars)
Our sacred knowledge well deserved (Our spiritual legacy)
Divulging brave and valiant goals (To preserve the truth at all costs)
They gave their life to free our souls, (The sacrificial lamb)
The time has come for Number 5 (Venus dancing among us)
Imagine ourselves more fully alive (The code is in the blood)
Journey with eyes full of wonder (The Garden of Eden)
To drink the rain and feel the thunder, (Sensory and sensuality)
Lift the veils The Hathors sing (Other life forms are among us)
Lift them high as blue bells ring (Feel the truth in your body)
We are one and only one (We are all connected, a unified field)
The celestial kingdom has begun... (First Light of the Age of Aquarius)
It is my sixth sense that the celestial kingdom began as the First Light of June 2008 – between the full moon and the summer solstice.
And adding to my feeling, the white rabbit yelled up to me, as I was about to step back into my everyday life – “Welcome to a brave, new world!”
This brave new world feels like the grail cup, as it continues to multiply, as within so without. Kinda like the Flower of Life. White Rabbit said one last thing, “The secrets of regeneration are assimilated by the biochemical reactions of the head and the heart.”
Now, how did he know I was wondering about that?
My memories whisper that it is in my best interest to manifest my physical sustainability in this brave new world, through the crystalline waters of my own body magic.
So who knows where this crazy road will lead me. Only a fool would say. But perhaps the white rabbit will show me more of his language along the way…

The third gathering took place on a very hazy, hot and humid summer weekend in New Haven, Connecticut. The Magdalene gathered us from all parts of the United States and Canada, and, of course, the south of France.
Tim traveled from Nice, France. Many of us were captivated by his eloquence and knowledge. He clarified certain facts about Templar history and the force behind the order - the Rex Deus families - and their earthly mission to keep the truth alive at all costs. I highly recommend Custodians of Truth if this subject resonates with you.
At some point in my research, I read that the fleur-de-lis was a symbol which originated in Egypt, although so many connect it to France. That statement rang true for me, and when I was in Egypt earlier this year, I looked for evidence but didn’t find any.
In Tim’s book – Cracking the Symbol Code – he makes a connection with this symbol and Egypt. He suggests there were two freestanding pillars with carvings of the fleur-de-lis at the Karnak Temple. This answered some questions for me personally concerning my research on Magdalene and her connection to this symbol, and to Egypt.
Fleur de lis
The lily was “cultivated by the royal order and used for their mood-altering qualities when ingested…They remained the sole property of the Pharoahs and became the pattern for another form of symbolic representation of the royal lineage.” (Cracking the Symbol Code, p. 24)
But beyond the mastery of names, dates, and places, Tim is a man with an extraordinary heart - the heart and soul of a pilgrim on the spiritual path to gnosis.
Ani joined us from Sedona, Arizona with harp in tow. It is hard to put into words what the music, chanting, and sounds, as sung and performed by Ani Williams, mean to me personally and to the gatherings. Her voice analysis research and CD’s are amazing!
Music and harmony allow an easy assimilation of information, a different way to receive the teachings. And nobody knows the range of musical and harmonic traditions better than Ani. She is a world traveler, and a troubadour of the finest caliber, always bringing a timeless elegance to our gatherings.
Ani performed a medieval Occitaine traditional called Leva te viste. Tim read a poem by Ani’s dear friend, Henry Lincoln, called There Is A Time For Burning.
From Ani: “There is a time for burning, and there is a time for return. The 1244 AD prophecy from the last Cathar before their group was burned at Montsegur was that in 700 years, the laurel will bloom again. The generation born just before and after 1944 have become the new writers, troubadours and neo-Cathars who are bringing the essential pure teachings of love and wisdom from Yeshua, Mary Magdalene, and John alive again at this crucial time. For me, the Languedoc Medieval melody of Leva Te Viste embodies the heart of the teaching that cannot be put asunder. And combined with Henry Lincoln’s poem There Is A Time For Burning, the depth of the prophecy of the last Cathars can be experienced internally through poetry and song: In 700 years, the laurel did bloom again, and truth endures through all time.”
Ani Williams, second from left with William Henry and Magdalenes of all ages
William flew in from Nashville, Tennessee. This year I especially liked the comparison between the raising of Jesus to the raising of George Washington and the rainbow bridge that connects the two, as portrayed in one of our very own Washington D.C. buildings. Hmm…raising up…regeneration…Osiris…the green man…freemasons…raising your vibration… 2012…the code is in the blood…
William just has a way of making things click for people and helping them connect the dots in their own research. He has a command of knowledge that blows my mind, along with a quiet sense of humor. Presently I’m focusing on his book The Healing Sun Code. It connects the dots for me between the sacred geometries or codes emanating from the sun, through the rays at this time of era-2012 and activating something in my blood.
From The Healing Sun Code – “The holographic key of life theory states that the secrets of the burst of light from the Core, which is the Grail itself, are buried deep in your cranium…If we learn the code of the Healing Sun we can access the hidden Family Secrets of Jesus and the Crucifixion and produce the Blood of Life within ourselves.”
The Blood of Life? Bursts of light as the grail? What exactly is buried deep in my skull? And isn’t Mary Magdalene usually depicted with a skull?
Peter and Susan drove down from Massachusetts to be with us. Peter contributed his vast knowledge of sacred places in the earth as well as conveying the consciousness and energies that flow through certain ley lines, meridians, and power points. The bottom line is that the earth carries awareness, and is co-creative and responsive by nature.
Peter and Susan led us in ceremony in the area of New Haven’s East Rock Park. We had gathered to honor the Angel of Peace, and Gaia/earth energy.
We were standing at the root chakra of a ley line that began near the Canadian border, and activating energies into this part of the line, which runs directly into New Haven.
“The line from New Haven, at the feet of Isis, north to Mt Abraham, forms a 23.5 degree angle from the line of the fallen djed. The line connecting Mt Abraham to NYC is 36 degrees off of the line from Mt Abraham to Newport - the angle found at the vertices of a pentagram, a natural Phi relationship.” (http://wizmical.com/archives/mother_earth)
From Susan: "Grounding the Templar/Masonic transmutation to original chivalry and cultured values happened brightly at the third annual conference. With the primary speakers’ presentations covering distinct aspects, the synergy came together Sunday following the grounding with the Angel of Peace at Red Rock. Ani Williams lent her voice, harp and spirited resonance of sound to connect in a deep spiritual way. Peter's geometries were used to connect the divine feminine to Mother Earth Gaia to expand the frequency attunement for manifesting spiritual transformation.”
As we were finishing our ceremony, somewhere in the park a voice emerged, as an anonymous woman began singing a gospel song in a deep, rich voice. Was that the earth finding a vibrational match, in the root chakra note, acknowledging our homage to Gaia?
Rene flew in from Los Angeles and after the showing of BLOODLINE to a full house, she answered questions from the audience. It had been a very long day with the heat and high humidity, and the walking tour of the Yale Art Gallery and Skull & Bones, but everyone was wide-eyed as they watched the documentary unfold, layer by layer.
For more information on Bloodline, you can check out my last blog on the film and the interviews with Rene, Bruce Burgess, and Robert Howells.
My dear friend Jane Werthmann, a certified aromatherapist, blended an incredible essential oil for the gathering called Gifts of the Magi. It contained pure frankincense, myrrh, and gold, which is a resin called sandarac. During the time of Jesus, sandarac was known as gold. We anointed ourselves with the oil throughout the weekend. It was very effective in bringing us deeper into the mysteries, in ways that defy words.
The altar at the Gathering
The people that gathered were diverse yet kindred spirits on the walk of the pilgrim.
And walk we did – in the blazing heat, we saw an interesting version of Et In Arcadia Ego at the Yale Art Gallery, as well as three secret societies on the Yale campus, the most infamous one being Skull & Bones, the place of King-Making, if you will.
Skull & Bones on the Yale Campus
Many attendees were at different points along the way, but everyone respected the sacredness of the space, and the trust between those that choose to live their lives with loving hearts and open minds.
I am always amazed by the impeccability of the spirit of the Magdalene and await her complete revelation, as it unfolds, according to plan. And for that reason alone, The Magdalene Gathering will continue on.
And as the light increases, many more will awaken.

I had the pleasure of meeting Rene Barnett, Bruce Burgess, and Robert Howells during the BLOODLINE premiere in New York City this May. It is primarily through Rene that I became aware of this independent film, but it is the voice of Marie Denernaud that began my connection to BLOODLINE.
At the bloodline premiere
Village East Theater, NYC
In my work as an intuitive/medium, I come across deceased spirits – organized patterns and vibrations of energy – all the time. It’s just my world, and for those of us who do this work, you know exactly what I mean. It’s just the way we experience life.
I was in Rennes le Chateau in October 2006, hanging out with some friends. Both my cousin and one of our friends were sharing the fact that they both believed they were Marie Denarnaud in their previous life. Hmm…that’s odd, I thought.
For the record, Marie Denarnaud was the young housekeeper of Berenger Sauniere, who took Abbe Sauniere’s secrets to her grave. Many believe that Marie was Sauniere’s lover and confidante. It is my belief that we still don’t know the true identity of this mysterious key player in the Sauniere mystery, whoever she was.
So since my friends own the property which includes the Denarnaud family ruins, and this topic had come up throughout our visit, we decided to climb into a secluded spot on the property and see what happened.
It didn’t take long for Marie to find me. Seemed as if she was waiting, wanting to convey a message. From my third eye vision, I saw her wipe her hands on her apron. Then I clearly heard the following words:
BLOODLINE – cache of documents – buried outside Rennes le Chateau. And then she pointed in a certain direction, showing me which way to go.
Had I more time, I would have gone back to the area. I had already spent a lot of time there during this particular trip, and was really curious about a few things. But we were packed and ready to get on the road for the long drive up to Chartres Cathedral.
When I got back home to Connecticut, someone asked me if I knew about the film BLOODLINE. I got chills all over my body because that was Marie’s first word to me. So I found the film’s website and sent an e-mail along. No response came. Then a few months later, I sent another e-mail. Rene called, and we have been in contact ever since.
You can visit the film’s website at www.bloodline-themovie.com for lots of information, including the latest news, film clips and media interviews.
Suffice it to say the film features written clues found by Ben Hammott, and a chest of items that were unearthed in the Cave of the Magdalene. I had an opportunity to hold these items in my hands. Included are photos of that very surreal moment in the infamous Chelsea Hotel in New York City, when I got a chance to see them for myself.
Also featured in the film is Ben’s tomb with the mummified corpse and artifacts. The DNA profile of this corpse technically traces back to the Middle East - that much has been determined. The opening by which they film this corpse is from above, so the tomb is structurally unstable, and requires proper excavation.
BLOODLINE tries to put a face on the mysterious Priory of Sion, hence the interview with the elusive Nicolas Haywood. There is suspense and murder weaved within the story as well. All roads lead through Rennes le Chateau, through Abbe Sauniere and the Knights Templar, and back to Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
I asked Rene Barnett (producer), Bruce Burgess (writer and director), and Robert Howells (one of the film’s experts – he set up the interview with Haywood) if they would answer a few questions for us. Below are their responses.
Q: In the film, we are introduced to Nicolas Haywood, who speaks on behalf of the Priory of Sion. He is secretive and engaging. In your opinion and in the parameters of what you can divulge, what do you think is Nicolas Haywood's biggest secret?
Rene: I think the biggest secret is a very spiritual message with strong gnostic overtones... that we are just like Jesus, human and divine. And it's only a secret because the Roman Church has spent the last 2000 years crushing everything that gets in the path of their doctrine. He also talks of a coming apocalypse. But is this some cataclysmic event or, rather, simply the literal Greek translation of the word which is actually 'revelation'? I believe it's the latter.
Bruce: I think it is how the Priory have the vast knowledge of the past, present and, it seems, the future, that they have. I think the secret is in how they know what they know, and why they feel 'everything is happening according to a plan’.
Robert: Cannot comment at this time.
Q: How do you handle all the criticism from people who have yet to see the film? What drives such intense debate surrounding the evidence unearthed in this film?
Rene: I'm not surprised at all by any criticism we receive. That was expected. What has blown me away is the overwhelmingly positive responses we received from viewers of the film. We have had so much support and gratitude from people for the work we have done that it is at the same time energizing and humbling.
Bruce: It's to be expected. Presenting anything credible that challenges the religious status quo was always going to evoke strong opinions, which in turn creates more publicity and spreads the word about the film. I just think critics should reserve judgment until they have watched it though.
Robert: For me the response is as expected. I think the regardless of how many people attack the film, for whatever motives, the debate rages because the topics covered resonate with people as having some truth.
Q: The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, basically said in May 2008 that it was okay for their faithful to believe in ETs. When asked of past mistakes, he says "The church has somehow recognized its mistakes…Maybe it could have done it better, but now it's time to heal those wounds and this can be done through calm dialogue and collaboration."
In light of this statement by the Vatican's chief astronomer, do you believe – or have any indication from your sources – that the Vatican is ready to acknowledge their mistakes regarding the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, the long-held heretical belief of the existence of a bloodline, and the brutal suppression of that bloodline?
Rene: I think it will be a cold day in hell, if you'll pardon the expression, before the Vatican really admits its mistakes instead of making some vague reference. My goodness, can you imagine them really admitting that they have systematically protected pedophile priests while ignoring the children whose lives they have ruined... or the fact they are guilty of thousands upon thousands of murders to keep their position of power?
I do think they are very resilient and will develop a good spin when this information reaches critical mass with the world, and I do think that day is a-comin'!
Bruce: I believe, and our sources with the Church have told us, that they have always known that the doctrine was nothing more than a convenient story with which to control the masses. They have always known the truth, and I think there has been a long running schism within the Church, especially within Rome, at the highest levels, between those who have tried to follow a more esoteric, spiritual doctrine, and those who don't. Remember, the Vatican, by dint of its archives, is in fact, the largest new age bookstore in the world, and also the most prolific funder of 'heretica’' art by da Vinci and others. There is lots of proof, right in front of our eyes, that they have always known the truth.
Robert: I doubt the Vatican will admit their 'mistakes' just yet. To my knowledge the Catholic members of Sion are very much in favor of keeping things just as they are.
Q: As a Magdalene researcher and woman raised in the Catholic faith, I still shudder at how women were treated by the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church, understanding that these vibrations are still in the collective unconscious at this time.
Do you believe the Church fathers were trying to stamp out connections to the Goddess traditions, and the connections between early Christianity and the Egyptian religion? Where did their hatred of women come from? Why does it appear they were so motivated to suppress the true identity of Mary Magdalene and the bloodline?
Rene: I don't think it's really a hatred of women as much as fear of loss of power. Women, in general, have always been more connected to their intuition and spirituality, I think. Also, it could be more practical than that... if priest were allowed to marry and have children, they would have heirs rather than leaving all their worldly goods to the Church.
Bruce: yes they did. The divine feminine and all she represents, was, and still is a great threat to Rome, because it represents this incredible power we all have within us, and if we were to realize that, and then learn how to use it, neither Church nor Government could control, or manipulate us.
Robert: Personally, I see the entire Magdalene issue as having more to do with the repression of the archetype of the empowered woman. I'm of the opinion that the intuitive, feminine aspect of both men and woman is a path to gnosis. If people attained gnosis, direct experience of the divine, they would receive their own truths and not need to rely on priests and religions to tell them how to be spiritual.
Q: In your opinion, are the Templars connected to the Bloodline? And if so, how?
Rene: I believe that certainly there were Templar families who believed they were part of the Bloodline, just as the royal families of Europe who ruled by 'divine right.' But actually, the idea of a few Bloodline families doesn't ring true to, or hold much interest for, me. According to our research, if there is a Bloodline of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, by this time, we would all be part of it.
Bruce: They brought back artefacts from Jerusalem that are crucial to this whole affair, and were strong believers, and practitioners, of an ancient wisdom, Gnosis, which was forced underground by Christianity.
Robert: Many of the Templars, heads included, were of noble origin. They were already part of the old families of Europe so if you subscribe to the idea of the bloodline coming to Europe then by default many of the original Templars were part of that bloodline.
Q: What is the biggest revelation so far in this process? The Sauniere parchments? The tomb? The mummified corpse? The cup of Jesus and Magdalene? The insights of Nicolas Haywood? What one thing rocks your world?
Rene: The first century Jerusalemite relics found in Southern France using clues left by Abbe Berenger Sauniere a hundred years ago are hugely interesting because they purport to be from the wedding of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and the tomb, once fully examined along with the items inside, including scrolls and large, decaying old book could contain earth shattering information. Nic's insights are intriguing, sometimes puzzling, but ultimately very revealing if one takes the time to ponder them. He is absolutely one of, if not the, most interesting people I have ever met.
Bruce: the tomb. the implications of who, and what is in there, and where that blocked up entrance leads is just staggering.
Robert: Cannot divulge at this time.
Q: In the process of making this film, when did you realize that something bigger than you had anticipated was unfolding along the way? What is the big picture here?
Rene: I think all along the way we were amazed and surprised by events as they unfolded... cracking into the Priory of Sion and meeting Nic, connecting with Ben Hammott and his incredible tomb find, then finding the chest of relics buried in the Magdalene Cave range. When did we realize how big it this was? After 25 years of research into this mystery, I think I knew from the start of this project that there was something huge at stake. I just did not know how close we would actually get to it. I never ceased to be surprised and amazed at the serendipitous course of events that got us as far as we did.
Bruce: when Ben and I found the chest with the 1st century relics. As we sat in near darkness in the 'Cave of the Magdalene' we realized then that our lives wouldn't be the same again, and this discovery was huge.
Robert: I think I understood the potential of what we are revealing but I am clear that we have not reached that potential yet. What I understand of the big picture is not yet fully in view and is unlikely to be until the time is right. The Bloodline movie is an excellent starting point.
Q: Rene – your daughter Jolie died at the beginning of production on BLOODLINE. Now that some time has passed, have you been able to make any connections as to the timing of her passing and the beginning of this fim? What thoughts can you share about that? And what would Jolie have thought of this film, were she with us today?
Rene: As viewers of the film will see, Bloodline is dedicated to my beautiful daughter Jolie, who died on May 22, 2005, the first day of production of Bloodline, ironically, from a blood clot due to a genetic disorder called Factor 5 Leiden. She was a funny, sweet and loving girl who I miss every moment of every day. What would she have thought about the film? Well, first of all I have no doubt that she would have been proud of her mom for taking it on, and secondly, so pleased the information inherent in it has such huge implications for the world, and especially for women and the resurrection of the Divine Feminine.
Q: Bruce – did you ever feel that the making of this film was different than any other film you have made to date? And if so, how did it differ?
Bruce: Yes, absolutely. This film was so much harder than anything I'd done before. Harder to make, longer to shoot and edit, harder to raise money, more danger, more press, more spotlight, more criticism, more praise. Just a much bigger deal on every level than anything I'd done before.
Q: Robert – from what you are able to share with us, how did you make contact with Nicolas Haywood? Why him? Why you?
Robert: I've known him by his interests for over 10 years now. It's no secret that I was a Manager at Watkins Bookshop in London, one of the oldest esoteric bookshops in Europe and that Nic is a collector of rare, alchemical manuscripts. I had been researching Rennes-le-Chateau for some 15 years when the documentary began so I approached him via a letter that spoke of my knowledge and interests in these areas and he agreed to try to assist. Perhaps we have a certain amount in common in how we approach the subject.
There is one answer to one question that I would like to repeat. When I asked Rob when he realized something bigger than he had anticipated was unfolding along the way, and what the big picture was, he said, “I think I understood the potential of what we are revealing but I am clear that we have not reached that potential yet. What I understand of the big picture is not yet fully in view and is unlikely to be until the time is right. The Bloodline movie is an excellent starting point.”
I couldn’t agree more. If the clues are indeed from the hand of Sauniere, if the relics can be traced back to Jesus and Mary Magdalene, then that alone is huge! I’m not sure it can ever be proven, but time will tell.
I have often thought that the layer deeper than the story of Jesus and Mary Magdalene is the body of teachings of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. It is my opinion that these teachings are light transmissions or the Language of the Birds that come from the pre-flood world, from the realm of Thoth, the Egyptian god of the moon, magic, and mantra.
The thing that really has me going these days is the tomb complex, and what lies under the ground in this Languedoc Temple of Solomon.
If the Knights Templar did indeed excavate and find the scrolls of antiquity in the Holy Land and bury them in the Rennes le Chateau area, then perhaps the scrolls that allegedly contain the grid points that control humanity’s ability to ascend will be unearthed just in time, according to plan…

What does it mean when someone praises the divine feminine? Or when someone says the divine feminine is the way to healing and enlightenment? Or that the divine feminine is reawakening in our world at this time, heralding a return to higher frequencies of light and thought? Is this a Christian concept? Buddhist? Pagan? New Age? Is it tied to religion? Or is it a spiritual concept? What is its history and where are its roots?
From my perspective, the divine feminine is the goddess is in all traditions, and has been since the beginning of time. These traditions are a mystical, magical, powerful part of primal Mother Earth. They symbolize balance and healing, renewal and restoration.
Sophia is a very ancient form of the Goddess of Wisdom. She is known in many traditions by different names; she carries the mantle of intuitive intelligence. Sometimes she is Isis, spreading her wings of ascension. Sometimes she is Asherah, the original bread of life. Mary Magdalene is said to have been an incarnation of Sophia.
The Old Testament’s King Solomon had a deep and profound relationship with Sophia. She was revered as the wise bride of Solomon by the Jewish people. Her symbol is the symbol of the dove, the bird descending from the heavens, known in Christianity as the Holy Spirit, or the spirit of truth.
In Greek mythology, Athena was the goddess of wisdom and weaving; the owl and the olive tree were sacred to her. The Parthenon temple was built in her honor.
Isis is the Egyptian goddess of magic, fertility, and motherhood. She has gone by many names, such as the Queen of the Heavens, Star of the Sea, Light-Giver of Heaven, Lady of Green Crops, and She Who Knows How To Make Right Use Of The Heart. She is the Great Mother of fertility, of creation, of life and death. Some see the Mary, the mother of Jesus, as an incarnation of Isis. Many view the Magdalene as an initiate of Isis.
The exotic and mysterious Black Madonnas have their roots in pre-Christian goddess traditions. In southern Provencal tradition, the Black Madonna is associated with St. Sara, the patron saint of the gypsies. Many believe the European shrines to the Black Virgin have special healing powers. These energetic places often have a sacred water source and a Celtic foundation. The Black Madonna is another mysterious form of the archetypal feminine principle. So what is the feminine principle?
Simply put, her principles are ones of nurturing, of love, understanding, compassion, insight, intuition, sacred intelligence, creativity, forgiveness, healing, and wisdom.
The feminine principle can appear as Ishtar or Mari, Gaia or Quan Yin, as the great Mother Mary or Magdalene the Master. She could embody Hathor or Sekmet from the Egyptian traditions, or manifest as one of the pantheon of goddesses from Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, Africa or the Middle East.
She could be represented by the many goddess traditions that weave and spin their way as a metaphor for raising kundalini energy. She can spring forth as Spider Woman of the indigenous tradition, weaving her threads of consciousness into the Oneness.
The qualities and energies of the divine feminine are spun into the web that transcends all time and place. All frequencies of the divine feminine seem to emanate from this matrix.
Below are some associations of that matrix - of divine feminine essence - from A-Z.
A is for Astarte, she of the womb, a Mother Goddess, one who creates;
B is for blood, for new life passes through her womb and is birthed by it;
C is for clarity, for the Goddess holds the mirror of reflection for whoever seeks her;
D is for deity for the Goddess is the feminine form of God;
E is for elevation, for the divine feminine shows us how to raise our vibration using the
serpent energy of kundalini, and become one with all;
F is for forgiveness, for forgiveness opens the heart chamber more fully;
G is for goddess, that we may keep repeating the word over and over until we incorporate it daily into our vocabulary, acknowledging the feminine form of divinity;
H is for Hathor, the Egyptian goddess of motherhood, beauty, and joy;
I is for Isis and Ishtar and Inanna, all goddesses of fertility;
J is for Jesus, for he got it; he understood the feminine principles and exalted them;
K is for kindness, for kindness restores hope;
L is for love, for the divine feminine embodies the power of love, especially in her body;
M is for Mary Magdalene, She who opens the doorway to the deeper mysteries;
N is for Nefertiti, Egyptian Queen, Mistress of Happiness, and wife of Akhenaten;
O is for osmosis, for when we follow the ways of the heart, everyone around us feels it;
P is for pentagram, an ancient symbol of the goddess and the planet Venus;
Q is for Quan Yin, the Asian goddess of compassion and mercy;
R is for Rhiannon, the Celtic goddess of the moon;
S is for Shakti, the Hindu mother goddess, the source of all;
T is for together, for we are all connected;
U is for universe, for the goddess is and has always been a universal consciousness;
X is the variable, the wild card, whatever you need it to be;
Y is for Yemanya, the African and Brazilian goddess of the sea; and
Z is for zenith, for as celebrate the divine feminine, we can rise to greater heights.
The Goddess is our primary life force on the planet. If we utilize her love, her nurturing, and the understanding and kindness of the divine feminine within us, we will survive in one form or another. Her remembrance can return balance to our teetering world. Her awareness can change our lives, and her essence can literally transform our bodies.
We need to recall these ways of the divine feminine, so we can expand our consciousness and focus on the global issues in dispute in our world. We need the Great Mother to lead us and teach us, so we can find new ways to resolve old issues, and enter into agreements of peaceful co-existence with one another.
The life force of the sacred feminine is the divine spark that will ignite our spiritual and biological transformation. Her sustainability is literally our survival as a species.

My perception of the shift goes something like this…
The shift is what happens when my thoughts and feelings combine to inspire me to experience a new and different vision of my world. Sometimes I shift by myself, and other times I shift with those who are willing to undergo this process together.
When I shift, I let go of ideas, beliefs, and behavioral patterns that no longer serve me. They are released from my energy field and transmuted by the power of my clear and focused intention. Then and only then, can I draw new and different vibrations to me.
Like the Fool in the Tarot deck, I begin the journey in blind faith - knowing something different is required, even if I am clueless. Just be willing, I remind myself.
What emerges is the unfolding of my story, layer by layer. At times I stop and play for awhile, living my life, and dancing the dance with my shadow. Then something happens and it is time to move along, shifting once again.
Each Tarot Trump has a number at the top of the card; each number holds a frequency and a meaning. It is a pathway of 22 steps. Some say 22 is an ancient symbol for a circle, which represents the vastness of infinity. Some believe it symbolizes the 22 letters of the original Hebrew alphabet. Others say it means the manifestation of light.
The completion of the 22-step Tarot Trumps leads me to an “aha” connection, a defining moment in my personal evolution. This cycle is embodied in the ancient alchemical symbol of the ouroboros, an image of a serpent swallowing its tail, birthing itself again.
I create expansion in my life – which can also be called abundance – or living life more fully – once I shift my perceptions of powerlessness to ones of empowerment. This is what I believe Jesus was referring to when he said the kingdom of God is within me.
My emotions are the catalyst for moving into this expanded awareness. My feelings carry the necessary charge to create an energetic shift. When I walk my talk, the process unfolds before me. Sometimes I may have to stand in the fire. I may have to sit with discomfort and uncertainty. I may even have to rise from the ashes of my own self-destruction, but these unexpected twists and turns can be quite a revelation.
My task is to accept the feelings I have about thoughts that drain my energy, overwhelm me, and stress me out. Once I see the reflection of what my life is showing me, I can make a choice to change my life, even if that change scares me. I may have been conditioned to fear change, but change is what yields my harvest.
Releasing emotions such as shame and fear and guilt raise my frequency and move me more fully into the field of presence. Standing in the here and now, I tap into my potential in ways that excite me, allowing the flow of synchronicity to ignite the magic.
When I trust myself and let go of my resistance, the shift happens naturally. This unfolding into increased states of awareness moves me closer to understanding why I came here at this time – which for me may just be – to shift and expand and experience the love.
