The Rennes-le-Chateau mystery










The Merovingians returned to public attention more recently in a number of books
seeking to solve the mystery of the tiny mountain top hamlet in the Languedoc in
southern France called Rennes-le-Chateau. This was once one of the most important
centres for the Priory of Sion, the Templars, the Cathars and many others in the
‘knowledge’ stream. The area was once peopled by the Celts, the former Cimmerians
and Scythians, from the Near East and the Caucasus Mountains, and Rennes-le-Chateau
was called Rhedae after one of their tribes. It was worshipped as a sacred place by the
Druids because again this is a region of immense magnetic power. In the late 1960s a
145
document of uncertain background called the Red Serpent or Le Serpent Rouge came to
light in the National Library in Paris. It contained the genealogy of the Merovingians, two
maps of France in the Merovingian period, and a ground plan of St Sulpice, the Roman
Catholic centre for occult studies in Paris.5 St Sulpice was built on the ruins of a temple to
Isis/Semiramis and was a burial ground for Merovingian kings. Le Serpent Rouge was
dated January 17th 1967, and the deposit slip at the National Library was dated February
lSth.6 The latter turned out to be a forgery, however, and the real date it was deposited was
March 2Oth.7 By this time all the alleged authors of the work, Pierre Feugere, Louis
Saint-Maxent and Gaston de Koker, had died within 24 hours of each other on March
6~7.8 But it gets even stranger because these three, it emerges, were not the authors at
all.9 Someone, it is thought, had used the names of these three dead men as the authors to
add more mystery to the tale. There were 13 days between the three deaths and the deposit
of the document at the library. The 13 page document included short prose poems
corresponding to each sign of the zodiac and it listed 13 signs. It called the extra one,
Ophiuchus (the Serpent Holder), which it placed between Scorpio and Sagittarius. The
most important number to the Templars was 13 and this will become more and more
relevant as the story unfolds. I have long believed there were originally 13 signs to the
zodiac. The text of Le Serpent Rouge, which appears to mention the landscape around
Rennes-le-Chateau, presents a version of the Sleeping Beauty story in which the princess
(female energy) is condemned to sleep until the handsome prince arrives to awaken her.
This is also highly relevant to the number 13 for reasons I will later outline. Le Serpent
Rouge also confirmed that Mary Magdalene was another symbol for Isis. It said:
..... Formerly some called her ISIS, queen of the beneficent sources, COME TO ME ALL
YOU SUFFER AND WHO ARE OVERWHELMED AND I WILL COMFORT YOU, others:
MAGDALENE, of the famous vase full of healing balm. The initiates know her true name:
NOTRE DAME DES CROSS.”10
The female energy and the reptilian bloodline are passed on through the female,
and since the intervention of Ninkharsag and Enki this energy was symbolised by
Mary, Isis and Semiramis, and was also known as Diana. Princess Diana was killed on
an ancient Merovingian sacrificial site to the goddess Diana when her car struck the
13th pillar. A cave at Sainte-Baume in southern France is an official Catholic shrine
because, it is said quite wrongly, Mary Magdalene lived there.11 In fact, during Roman
times that cave was a centre for the worship of the goddess Diana Lucifera -Diana the
light bringer or Illuminatrix. This was the very name given to Mary Magdalene by
Jacobus de Voragine, the Dominican Archbishop of Black Nobility Genoa.12 One other
interesting point is that while Templars throughout France were arrested and tortured
after the purge by Phillipe the Fair in 1307, the ones in the Rennes-le-Chateau area at
Le Bezu, le Valdieu and Blanchefort, were left alone. This area was quite obviously
very important to the Templars and they were connected with the Blanchefort family at
Chateau de Blanchefort, just two miles from Rennes-le-Chateau. Some researchers
146
believe that the Templars buried much of their gold near Rennes-le-Chateau. Certainly a
third of all their European property was once to be found in the Languedoc region. The
Romans, too, thought this area to be sacred and worshipped their Pagan gods here. By the
6th century, Rennes-le-Chateau was a thriving town of 30,000 people, the northern capital
of the Visigoth empire which spread south across the Pyrenees into Spain. The Visigoths
were a Germanic or Teutonic people, the same as the later Teutonic Knights who emerged
at the same time as the Templars. The Visigoths were again the ancestors of the
Cimmerians and the Scythians, the white peoples from the Caucasus. It was the Visigoths
who swept out of central Europe to sack Rome and bring an end to Roman rule.
An ancient Visigoth chateau, the Chateau d’Hautpoul, still survives at Rennesle-
Chateau and it has an alchemist’s tower. Alchemy is the transformation of base man/
woman into pure spirit, but it has another meaning too, the transformation of base
metals into gold. The theory of this was summed up by the ancient Greek initiate,
Aristotle, who said that the basis of the physical world was what he called prime or first
matter. This, he said, was a non-physical energy which you could not see or touch. He
believed that prime matter could manifest as physical form through the four elements of
Earth, Fire, Water and Air. These elements are different from each other, but each is
connected by a common bond of dryness, moisture, heat or cold. Every element has two
of these qualities, one of which dominates. Earth is cold and dry and dryness
predominates. Fire is hot and dry and heat predominates. Water is moist and cold and
cold predominates. Air is hot and moist and moistness predominates. The idea is that
one element can be transformed into another through the bond they have in common, eg
Fire becomes air through the common bond of heat. Substances are made from the
elements and if you can transform the elements into each other, you must be able to
transform the substances the elements are made from. For instance, lead can be changed
into gold. There is, it is believed, a secret powder which is necessary for this
transformation and it has become known as the Philosopher’s Stone. The d’Hautpoul
family are said to have been holders of such secrets. The document, Le Serpent Rouge,
when speaking of the 13th sign of the zodiac, Ophiuchus, says: “the base lead of my
words may contain the purest gold” 13 For five hundred years, Rennes-le-Chateau was
owned by the Count of Razes and became an important centre for the Cathars. With
their demise its power waned. A plague and Catalan bandits completed its fall from a
major town to the tiny hamlet it was to become.14 Today it is a place of great beauty and
mystery with views across the mountains and valleys. I would definitely file it under
paradise if it were not for a very unpleasant feel in the energy there. I experienced a
feeling of underlying ‘evil’.
The fantastic geometrical patterns in this area connecting mountains, sacred sites
and churches, have been identified in modern times by people like Henry Lincoln, a
pioneer researcher of the Rennes-le-Chateau mysteries, and David Wood and Ian
Campbell in their books Genisis and Geneset (see Figure 20). The goddess Isis is
mentioned in old records of Rennes-les-Bains, a short distance from Rennesle-
Chateau, and in the last century a statue of Isis was found near the village.15 Wood and Campbell suggest that Rennes-le-Chateau and Rennes-le-Bains translate as Queen
of the House and Queen of the Waters - the names given by the ancient Egyptians to
their goddesses Nephthys and Isis.16 The area around Rennes-le-Chateau is one of
enormous power and importance within the Earth’s energy grid and therefore became a
focus from ancient times for those who understood this and knew how to harness the
energy. The modern world awoke to the story of Rennes-le-Chateau with Henry
Lincoln’s BBC television films and the book, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, written by
Lincoln with Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh. It was inspired by the story of
Berenger Sauniere, who, in 1855, became priest at the church of St Mary Magdalene at
Rennes-le-Chateau. Sauniere was born at nearby Montazels. The church was in a
terrible state and, the story goes, in 1887 he and two workmen began the immense task
of repairing the worst of the damage to the interior. They lifted a flagstone near the altar
and saw an engraving on the underside depicting two men on one horse. This symbol
was the first seal of the Knights Templar. The flagstone became known as the Knights
Stone and can be seen in the village museum. When Sauniere realised there might be
something of importance to find, he continued the search alone. The breakthrough came
when he dismantled the altar and inside one of the pillars he found hollow wooden
tubes, sealed with wax. Inside those he discovered parchments which, he later
established, were written in code. After consulting his church superiors in Carcassonne,
he travelled to Paris and the Roman Catholic occult research centre called St Sulpice

Chateau. They connected

148
which is positioned on the Paris time meridian on a site of ‘former’ Isis/Semiramis
worship. Here they employed experts in medieval texts, writings and codes. Research
so far has suggested that Sauniere’s parchments contained a genealogy dated 1244 (the
year the Cathars were slaughtered at Montsegur) which confirmed the survival of the
Merovingian bloodline; another Merovingian genealogy from 1244 to 1644; and two
compiled in the 1780s apparently by Abbe Antoine Bigou, a previous priest at Rennesle-
Chateau, and personal chaplain to the Blanchefort family. I don’t believe for a second
that this is all that Sauniere found. Anything that really mattered would never have been
made public and it is quite possible that Sauniere did not find his parchments in the
church at all. Maybe it’s a cover story to obscure the real tale.
The Priory of Sion ‘leaked’ copies of the two Bigou parchments in 1967, or at least
in the 1960s. The Priory of Sion is believed to have originated in Troyes, France, the
city founded by the Sicabrian Franks (Merovingians) where the Templars were
officially formed. The Priory of Sion arrived on the scene about the same time as the
Templars, the Knights of Malta and the Teutonic Knights, and it had a particularly close
association with the Templars. But some researchers believe the true origins of the
Priory of Sion go much further back. Its Grand Masters are called Nautonnier or
Navigators and the ones between 1188 and 1918 were listed (or claimed to be) in
documents known as the Dossiers Secrets, which were privately published texts
deposited at the National Library in Paris. Among them were Marie and Jean de Saint-
Clair; Leonardo da Vinci; Sandro Botticelli, another Italian artist and friend of da Vinci;
Nicolas Flamel, the famous medieval alchemist; Robert Fludd, the philosopher; Isaac
Newton, who ‘discovered’ the law of gravity and was a major player in the creation of
the this-world-is-all-there-is version of ‘science’; Robert Boyle, a close friend of
Newton and another founder of modern ‘science’; and Jean Cocteau, the French writer
and artist. Two others in office during the lifetime of Sauniere, were the French writer
and poet Victor Hugo, and his friend the composer Claude Debussy, a Grand Master of
the Rosicrucian Order. One of Debussy’s most famous operas was a Merovingian
drama. A recent Grand Master appears to be Pierre Plantard de Saint-Clair who,
according to documents revealed in Holy Blood, Holy Grail, is a descendant of
Dagobert II and the Merovingian dynasty. Dagobert was the Merovingian heir who was
sent into exile in Ireland as a child. He returned to take his crown, but was later
murdered. His son is supposed to have survived. I think that Pierre Plantard, however,
has misled the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail in many ways, and the idea that the
Merovingian bloodlines are the bloodline of Jesus is without foundation. This is
nothing to do with Jesus. The reason you find so many references to Arcadia in relation
to Rennes-le-Chateau is because Arcadia in Sparta was the legendary home of Zeus and
the Titans - the reptilian bloodlines of Troy. That is the origin of these bloodlines, not
Jesus, who did not even exist. Pierre Plantard, who knows the truth, but doesn’t want
you to know, was born in 1920 and, with the approval of the German oppressors, he
edited a magazine in Nazi-occupied France in 1942 called Conquest For A Young
Knighthood.17 It was the journal of a Paris based Masonic-chivalric society called the
149
Order Alpha-Galates, and Plantard became its Grand Master at the age of 22.18 This is
certainly not a man who’s word is his bond.
At St Sulpice in Paris, the village priest Abbe Berenger Sauniere met with Abbe
Bieil, the Director General of the Seminary, and the latter’s nephew, Emile Hoffet.19
Through Hoffet he was warmly welcomed into a circle of esoteric friends, including the
famous opera singer, Emma Calve, and Claude Debussy, the Grand Master of the Priory
of Sion as well as the Rosicrucians. Sauniere and Calve began a close relationship and
she visited him at Rennes-le-Chateau. Calve was at the heart of the occult movements
in France and one of her intimates was the Marquis Stanislas de Gualta, a founder of the
modern version of the Order of the Rose-Croix, the Rosicrucians.20 Most of the Grand
Masters of the Priory of Sion have Rosicrucian connections. Another of Calve’s friends
was Jules Bois, a notorious Satanist, and close associate of a fellow Satanist,
MacGregor Mathers.21 Encouraged by Bois, Mathers established the British occult
society, the Order of the Golden Dawn, of which the Satanist, Aleister Crowley, was a
most prominent member. The Order of the Golden Dawn and its offshoots and
personnel, like Crowley, were involved with both the Nazis and the British Satanist,
Druid, and wartime Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill. The pointed-arm ‘heil
Hitler’ salute was in fact a ritual sign of the Order of the Golden Dawn. Another famous
member of the Golden Dawn was the poet, W. B. Yeats, a friend of Claude Debussy.
Yeats quite brilliantly summed up the aims of the Babylonian Brotherhood when he
described his ideal society:
“...an aristocratic civil isation in its most completed form, every detail of his life hierachical,
every great man’s door crowded at dawn with petitioners, great wealth everywhere in few
men’s hands, all dependent upon a few, up to the Emperor himself, who is a God
dependent upon a greater God and everywhere, in Court, in the family, an inequality made
law. “22
This is precisely the vision for the human race planned by the reptilians. If Sauniere
and his friends were operating among Emma Calve’s circle, we are talking Satanism
here. I’m not saying that Sauniere was a Satanist because I don’t know, but he knew
people who were. Other famous visitors of Sauniere at Rennes-le-Chateau were the
French Secretary of State for Culture and the Archduke Johann von Habsburg, a cousin
of Franz-Josef, the Emperor of Austria.23 The Habsburgs, a big-time reptilian bloodline,
ruled the Holy Roman Empire for 500 years before its demise in 1806. The Priory of
Sion, the Merovingian bloodline, and Rennes-le-Chateau, definitely connect into the
wider web I am exposing.
Among the most significant Freemasonic lodges in the world today is the Grand
Alpine Lodge in Switzerland. Henry Kissinger, one of the planet’s most active servants
of the reptilians (he is one), is a member. It is involved at a very high level in the global
manipulation (see .. And The Truth Shall Set You Free) and it is most definitely Satanic. A
work entitled The Merovingian Descendants And The Enigma Of The Visigoth Razes was
150
published, according to its title page, by the Grand Alpine Lodge, though they now deny
it.24 Razes is the old name for the area around Rennes-le-Chateau.25 It was first published
in German and then translated into French by a Walter Celse-Nazaire, a pseudonym made
up of the saints after whom the church at Rennes-les-Bains is dedicated. The secrets
held in Rennes-le-Chateau and the Languedoc are extremely important to these people.
The composer, Richard Wagner, used unusual names from the Rennes area in his operas
and in his work, The Valkyrie, we see again the theme of someone condemned to eternal
sleep in the ruins of an enchanted castle. There are many ruined enchanted castles around
Rennes-le-Chateau and Wagner’s Castle of Valhalla is a castle on the Paris Meridian a
few miles from the village.26 Adolf Hitler, who was obsessed with black magic, said that
to under-stand the Nazis, one had to understand Wagner. One legend has it that Wagner
visited Sauniere at Rennes-le-Chateau. Jules Verne, the science ‘fiction’ writer, was a
high initiate who knew much secret knowledge. His book, Chateau Of The Carpathians,
includes several names unique to the Rennes-le-Chateau area, and in Verne’s Clovis
d’Ardentor, one the characters is Captain Bugarach - the name of a peak near Rennes-le-
Chateau known locally as the magnetic mountain. Clovis was also the name of one of the
first Merovingian kings. A farm near Rennes-les-Bains is called Jouanne, another name
used for a Jules Verne character.27
Back in Rennes-le-Chateau after his visit to Paris, Sauniere began a spending spree well
beyond the means of a poorly paid village priest. Where did his sudden wealth come from?
He built a house which he called Villa Bethania alongside the church for himself and his
housekeeper, Marie Denarnaud. Close by, he built a watchtower on the edge of a sheer cliff
overlooking the valley and mountains. He called it La Tour Magdala and he said it was a
library. Having seen it, I don’t believe that. There is very little room for books and it hardly
constitutes a ‘library’. It is, however, placed precisely on the spot where a circle connecting
churches meets a point on the pentagram in the geometrical pattern identified by Wood and
Campbell. The name Magdala means watchtower and the watchtower is a Brotherhood
symbol for Mary Magdalene - the female energy, Isis, Semiramis. Note that it is also the
symbol of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, another prison-religion, created by Brotherhood
frontmen like the high degree Freemason, Charles Taze Russell. They’re all connected, the
secret societies and the religions they created. Sauniere spent profusely on art and antiques;
he paid for a water tower to improve the village supply; and he spent a fortune to build a
road to replace the long dirt track up the mountain to Rennes-le-Chateau. He also began to
correspond with people all over Europe. Most notably, he transformed his church with his
new-found wealth. It was fully restored and refurbished with strange statues and esoteric
symbols. On the entrance to the church he had written in French: “This place is terrible”.
As you walk through the door you are faced with a demonic statue depicting a particular
version of the Devil. It is Asmodeus who, the legend says, was forced by King Solomon to
help with the building of his temple in Jerusalem. A cutting with a picture of Asmodeus in
chains was found among Sauniere’s possessions. A plate glass window features Mary
Magdalene anointing the feet of Jesus and a statue of Mary Magdalene includes a skull at
her feet - that symbol of the Templar rituals. The floor is laid out with the black and
151
white squares of a Masonic temple. A feature of the Sauniere-inspired decoration in the
church is the rose and the cross. This is the symbol of the secret society called the
Rosicrucians or Rose Croix and it goes back to ancient times. Templar artefacts
retrieved from Paris and Cyprus feature the rose and cross.28 The rose once again relates
to goddess worship and sexual symbolism. The Romans knew the rose as the Flower of
Venus (Venus = Semiramis) and it was the badge of her ‘sacred prostitutes’. In the
Venus sexual mysteries, anything ‘sub rosa’ meaning under the rose, was not to be
revealed to the uninitiated.29 Mother Mary, when used as a symbol for the goddess
energy, was referred to as the Rose, Rose-bush, Rose-garland or Mystic Rose.30 The
name Rose may also come from Eros, the symbol for sexual love. The Rosicrucians link
into the Brotherhood network, as do the Jesuits. Sauniere’s brother, Alfred, was a Jesuit.
The guy at the museum in Rennes-le-Chateau told me that Sauniere could have been a
member of the Rosicrucian Order and I would have been surprised if he wasn’t. There
is a cross and red rose on his grave in the churchyard. A red rose on a grave can indicate
an exemplary life or that the person’s life was ended prematurely. When Pierre Plantard
de Saint-Clair, a Grand Master of the Priory of Sion, made a visit to Rennes-le-Chateau,
he was seen performing a strange ceremony at Sauniere’s grave. Obviously, questions
were asked by the church hierarchy about Sauniere’s spending spree, but when the
crunch came he was supported by the Pope himself.
Sauniere was working closely, and in secret, with two other local priests, Abbe Boudet
at Rennes-le-Bains, and Abbe Gelis at Coutaussa. The two villages are only a short
distance from Rennes-le-Chateau. Records show that Boudet, a friend of Pierre Plantard’s
grandfather, paid Sauniere and his Jesuit brother large sums of money.31 All three
apparently enjoyed unexplained windfalls of cash. In 1897 their close association was
broken by conflict between Sauniere and Boudet, and the vicious and bloody murder of
Gelis, who had become a recluse, living behind a locked door in fear of his life. With good
reason, it turned out. He was bludgeoned to death by someone he clearly knew and trusted,
because he opened his door to them and a bell alarm Gelis had installed was not activated.
Despite the violence of his death and the intense struggle which preceded it, his body was
left neatly laid out on the floor in almost ritualistic fashion.32 In his church at Coutaussa
were the now familiar symbols, the lion paws, the grapes and the vine, and a form of the
Star of David, the six pointed star, with one triangle superimposed on the other instead of
being interweaved as normal. Exactly the same symbol was found on Sauniere’s
bookplate.33 On Gelis’s grave, topped by a Maltese/Templar cross, is the word Assassine
and the headstone is adorned with a rose, the symbol of the Rosicrucians and of premature
death. Sauniere died following a stroke in 1917. The stroke happened on January 17th
1917, which appears to be a very significant date to the Babylonian Brotherhood. It is the
feast day of St Sulpice. It was to St Sulpice Church in Paris that Sauniere travelled with his
parchments; it was the groundplan of St Sulpice which appeared in the mysterious
documents called Le Serpent Rouge; St Sulpice was designed according to the laws of
sacred geometry in 1645 on the ruins of a temple of Isis and was the headquarters of the
Compagnie du Saint-Sacrement, an alleged front for the Priory of Sion; and Victor Hugo,
152
a Grand Master of the Priory of Sion,
was married at St Sulpice. Le Serpent
Rouge was dated January 17th and it
emphasises that January 17th comes
under the astrological house of
Capricorn, the goat, which, in its
negative depiction, is Baphomet and the
Goat of Mendes, the symbol of Satanism
and the Templars (see Figure 21). This
originates from the symbolic sacrifice of
a goat by the Israelites in honour of the
Watcher (reptilian) called Azazel who
also became symbolised as an inverted
pentagram - the ‘goat head’. Nicholas
Flamel, another Grand Master of the
Priory of Sion, was said to have
performed his first alchemical
transmutation at noon on January 17th.
A statue of Charles de Lorraine, a Grand
Master of both the Priory of Sion and the
Teutonic Order, was unveiled in
Brussels on January 17th 1775.~~ If you
think this is all coincidence, I would ask
you not to underestimate how important
precise dates and times are to the
Babylonian Brotherhood. Every split
second has a different vibration as the Earth’s magnetic field is subtly changed by the
Sun and the movement of the planets, and every number and combination of numbers
carry their own unique vibratory signature. Sauniere transferred all his money and
possessions to his housekeeper, Marie Denarnaud, his confidant throughout the period
we have been documenting. She is alleged to have said to a friend:
“The people around here walk around on gold without knowing it... With that which the
Monsieur has left we could feed Rennes for a hundred years and there would still be
enough left over... one day I will tell you a secret which will make of you a rich man -very,
very rich.”35
But she never did. Rennes-le-Chateau is a place of so many secrets and in so many
ways encapsulates the ‘hall of mirrors’ that has kept the truth from the people for so
long. However, the veil is lifting and the truth is emerging. The complication in the
story of Rennes-le-Chateau, and the Brotherhood in general, is the feuding that goes on
between competing factions operating beneath the same over all leadership. It means that people who you know are involved are undermined or murdered by others you
know are involved. This can be confusing unless you understand the game. Such
infighting is inevitable with the mindset of these people, and often it suits the
Brotherhood leadership to have these feuds spill over into the public arena. It creates
the very chaos, the divide and rule, which they need to manipulate their Agenda into
being. But this upper hierarchy can quickly bring the factions into line when the
fighting threatens the over all Agenda on which all sides agree - control of the world.
Just such a battle broke out between the Priory of Sion and its military arm, the Knights
Templar, which led to considerable conflict in the centuries that followed. In 1187, the
Templars lost control of Jerusalem to the Saracen Turks, possibly on purpose, and a
conflict followed with their former allies and official masters, the Priory of Sion. A year
later they formerly separated in a ritual known as the Cutting of the Elm at Gisors, a
city close to the coast in northern France. The Order of Sion changed its name to the
Priory of Sion and adopted as its emblem, the red cross used by the Templars. The
Priory also adopted the title, l’Ordre de la Rose-Cross Veritas, the Order of the True
Red Cross. The two secret societies agreed to operate independently, but the Priory of
Sion wanted the Templar wealth which it believed it rightly owned and it probably used
the Merovingian king of France, Philippe the Fair, in an attempt to do this.
