Okay - I am getting a number of people asking me where I am getting my information from and what the background is to all this, so I think it's time for Chris to spill:
Background
On my 16th birthday I was given 'They Key to the Sacred Pattern' by Henry Lincoln. Until then I really hadn't been interested in history but suddenly I was - maybe it was the real prospect of treasure but I think it is more than that. Anyway since then I have been studying with all my might this mystery and I even changed direction with my career and now I am studing History at uni.
Plans
What I am looking for now is a partner - somebody with some money. Not a lot but enough to pay for some equipment and research that we can do in Rennes itsself. I have been there and I am going again in a few weeks time. But money is tight so if you are interested and you agree that I am on to something, get in touch.
Theories
I have gradually been developing this theory that the Cathares did not die out in 1244 but that they went underground and still exist in the region and in fact all over. I suppose this is not a new theory but I think they are behind a lot of the modern clues and mystery at Rennes Le Chateau.
Seeing Ben Hammott's website was a turning point for me. I thought how silly that you could see a pot of treasure through an opening but could not reach it and then wrote a book as if somehow it were all suspended in time. Why didn't he go back? Why didn't he tell the authorities or take photos? It all seemed like it couldn't be true but then I thought what if it is like a deliberate tactic by some religious organisation to recruit new followers. What if the gold is really the bait but not the point? I think people, too blinded by the lure and power of gold, are actually missing the point of what is going on here. Plantard may have been a fake or haoxer but he may also have been a Cathar sympathiser who was instructed to deposit the Dossieres Secret in the library in Paris. Maybe it's all deliberate.
New line of Research
I realised recently that I had to find someone who might be a Cathar and probe them. Some think that the Cathares became Knights Templars or at least that the Knights Templar sheltered the Cathares but of course they came to an end just over a century later. So perhaps they then became Free Masons? Or something else?
Anyway at last I have a lead. I came across a book written by somebody claiming to be descended from a noble family in the region, one of whom in the 15th century was accused of something obscure by the Catholic Church in France and made to pay a fine for the rest of his life, each year. He also inherited a similar mysterious fine from his father which was so large that it had to be split among his siblings.
Now the person writing this book does not use his real name but on his blog he gives links to all the documents which record his genealogy and it all checks out. The family is the La Moignon family in France which were Lords of the area around Nevers from the 13th Century onwards (the first was Guillaume, a Knight) and later they were very close to the Royal Family. According to his site, one of them Guillaume Cretien Malherbes de La Moignon personally defended Louis VI during the revolution but was executed. Since then the family has become obscure but a descendent of the one who might have been a Cathar Robert La Moignon was probably a Protestant (remember the Cathares were proto-protestants, according to most religious historians) and fled to England with the Huegenots, from whom the writer is descended through a well-documented line.
The book which is now my source
He has written a book called Ordo Lupus and the Temple gate. At first it just looks like fiction but this is just a cover. I only read the book after reading his blog and seeing that there might be hidden clues in the book if he knew anything. The first thing to say is that he openly has a theory that William the Conqueror was a reincarnation of Dagobert II. Now this holds up because both of them were possibly born bastards (Dagobert was abandoned by his 'mother' in favour of an adopted son, which may think indicates that Dagobert was not hers) and both came to power though a labyrinthine political path. Dagobert was possibly the last Holy Roman Emperor and believed then to be a descendant of the blood line of Mary and William (or Guillaume to give him his proper French name) had his coronation on Christmas day in Westminter Abbey, indicating that he believed himself to be of the same blood line. Now I am not saying Dagobert and Guillaume were holy but they believed they were.
Moreover Dag-obert means bright of day or day- bright and Ro-bert means fame-bright. I think you can see the connection there and that 'bright' may well indicate some special light.
All this got me thinking about this book Ordo Lupus and the Temple Gate.
I was thinking that all the books that have been written about Rennes le Chateau are probably by outsiders who have bought the snippets of clues they have been sold by this Secret Society of Cathares (I don't know their name yet) but if one of the society themselves were to write a book would they openly discuss clues? I don' think so. I think they would claim it was fiction but subtly hide clues.
The first thing that occured to me was that Ordo Lupus of the title might be an anagram. Almost immediately I thought of Montsegur and if you take the title Ordo Lupus Temple Gate (and leave out the words 'and the' which have no direct latin translation anyway) you can indeed get Montsegur and many other phrases but a few stand out:
ORDO LUPUS TEMPLE GATE
MONTSEGUR APPLE LED TO
MONTSEGUR DELTA POLE P
(Interestingly Delta Pole comes out as the same in both French and English anagrams)
MONTSEGUR CALL DOWRY IT
Now I was really intrigued. I have bought the book and now I am on Chapter 4. There are other clues on the cover and the back cover which I won't discuss here. Basically each chapter has a secret code under the Chapter heading. The author is very open about it (his name is Lazlo Ferran - not his real name but you can see that Lazlo is like Lazarus and Ferran is like France) and there are ten codes plus the title. I believe there is a twelfth code hidden somewhere in the book.
What is the book about?
Basically the book is about a guy with special powers who finds wolf statues during the war and his daughter is murdered by a serpent-like monster (I haven't got that far yet) and he tries to track down her killer. There is a secret crypt in a cathedral but I think that is just a diversion. I don't think the story is the main point (*although it is very well-written and probably a serious book if you like that sort of thing - stories about vampires and serpents). I am not sure I believe there is Lycanthropy connected with the Cathares but Lazlo Ferran claims one of his ancestors was called Loup Le Moignon (Loup means wolf in French).
The Secret Codes
These are really hard to decipher - almost impossible. I have only solved one so far and it took me over two weeks to do it. It represents esoteric knowledge if you solve it and basically talks about combatting the Devil. I won't show it here but if I have a partner I will share the knowledge I find in the book. Anyway I would be interested to talk to anybody else who has solved any of the codes in the book.
That is all for now. I will discuss more later on.
Chris
