Société Perillos continues the articles series on the links between Rennes-le-Château and the ancient Spanish city of Gerona. The article examines the claims made by Patrice Chaplin about rituals being performed by Saunière in relation with the two Tour Magdala’s. One thing is certain. A new holy mountain whas entered the main stage of Rennes-le-Château research: the Catalan Mount Canigou.

After the announcement of the discovery of the Torre Magdala in Gerona, Marcuzio Isauro has found another similar construction in Italy. The building is called Villa Rupolo, situated in Caneva, province of Pordenone.

Société Perillos sets off to uncover the trails of Abbé Saunière leading to the ancient Catalan town of Gerona. Hard to believe? Not when you’ve read Patrice Chaplin’s spectacular new book City of Secrets. As early as 1851, a carbon copy of the Tour Magdala, called Torre Magdala was part of the Gerona skyline. Filip Coppens plots the book in its right historical setting and provides sharp analysis in his best article series yet. This first article is meant as an introduction to this entirely untrodden trail of Rennes-le-Château research.

Codes and Ciphers

“ Shephardess no temptation that Poussin Teniers hold the key peace 681 by the cross and the horse of God I complete this Daemon guardian at midday blue apples”

The phrase ‘Blue Apples’, ‘Pommes Bleues’ comes from one of the coded parchments allegedly discovered in 1887 by Saunière. These ‘blue apples’ are thought to be related to an optical phenomenon that occurs at midday on January 17 each year when the sun shines through a stained-glass window depicting Jesus raising Lazarus. On this day, orbs of bluish and purple lights appear on the church furnishings before phasing slowly on to the altar shining on onto the relief of Mary Magdalene kneeling in prayer.

It’s been said that:

Shepherdess: Is a reference to Nicolas Poussin’s painting The Shepherds of Arcadia.
No temptation: Is a reference to David Teniers’s painting The Temptation of St Anthony..
Poussin and Teniers:Is said to reinforces the above two references
Peace 681: Sigebert IV, the Merovingian survivor, was said to have brought to Rennes-le-Château in the year 681.

But, quite what it all means is another matter. Its known that Saunière replaced some the the stained glass window during the church renovations. “Blue Apples” has been explained to also mean grapes in that region of France, and that this therefore may be alluding to the symbol of the vine, representing the bloodline of Christ. The truth is however, no one really knows the truth.

I can’t believe that someone went to all this trouble for a hoax (I could be wrong) and that it all means nothing. Clearly some piece of information has been hidden and someone or persons unknown have gone to a huge amount of time and trouble to hide something. A lot has been said about these parchments being related to another code of sacred geometry hidden within the aforementioned paintings, and to each other….It’s clear that someone would need to be in possession of details of how to work the code without that knowledge it’s going to be practically impossible to crack with any degree of confidence that you have found the true meaning and hidden information. No one can even be 100% sure that all or even any of the parchments are genuine. Sacred geometry and “The Blanchefort tombstone” and “The tombstone of the Dame d’Hautpoul” plus putting it through the Vigenère Square and then the ‘Knight’s Tour’ have all been tried with mixed results. Until something or someone turns up who knows or has the key…we can only speculate.

Three different views of the Tour Magdala. In 2001 a team of Canadians, who had previously worked at Qumran in Israel, arrived in the village with ground penetrating radar equipment. Their survey of the ground beneath the Tour Magdala and the church produced some excighting results. Beneath the floor of the church they detected what looked like a crypt, and they confirmed that there appeared to be a chest or box, some 3 feet square, buried around 12 feet beneath the floor of the Tour Magdala. At a later excavation, a crypt was found but the crypt proved to be empty, as did the space thought to have contained a chest, beneath the Tour Magdala, which dissapointed many people. I can’t help but wonder what both ‘did’ contain once upon a time.
