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.”

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 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.
