The crowned Enigma

the crowned Enigma (titrated in original version The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail , “the Holy Line and the Saint Graal”) is a discussed test carried out in 1982 by three British journalists: Henry Lincoln, Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh.

Contents of the work

While trying to clear up the enigma of Rennes-the-Castle and the Abbot Salt box (years 1885-1917), the three authors launch out in a true investigation and connect between them the Prieuré of Sion and the history of the Templiers, the Cathares, the dynasty of the Mérovingiens, the Holy Grail and the origins of the Christianisme.

the crowned Enigma vehicle in particular the theory according to which Jesus would have had a child with Marie-madeleine, and makes the latter a misadventure of the Large Goddess or Féminin crowned. It is thus about the work which is at the base of the theories on the union Jesus/Marie-madeleine, on the significance " Marie-madeleinistique" Graal and on all that follows - all theories which thus prove recent, contrary to the opinion of many readers of the Da Vinci Code , best-seller of 2004 whose intrigue is based on these allegations.

Controversies

Although their work is based on many references quoted in notes at the end of the work, the test of Henry Lincoln, Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh remains very discussed: first of all because the authors maintain one mystification whose first stones were posed by the forger and mythomaniac Pierre Plantard in the years 1940, on the Prieuré of Sion, but also because some see in the crowned Enigma the instrument of a néo-pagan propaganda and of a “falsification” of certain elements of the Christian faith.

The controversy on the Priory of Sion

the crowned Enigma was first of all criticized owing to the fact that all the theories that the book provides on the Prieuré of Sion rest on the one hand on talks of the authors with Pierre Plantard, supposedly large Master of the Priory which admitted in 1992 having confabulated, on the other hand on the secret Dossiers of Henri Lobineau , which prove to be forgeries having been created by this same mystifier in 1967.

Charges of néo-pagan propaganda

Much denounced Christian intentions anti and of néo-pagan propaganda which, in their eyes, was with the source of the work. Certain readers consider however this scenario as being conspirationnist.

According to this particular type detractors of the crowned Enigma , it is Liz Greene - sister of Richard Leigh and boyfriend of Michael Baigent at the time of the drafting of the work, and in addition astrologer affiliated to the New Age and the Wicca (a néo-pagan worship born in the Forties and centered on the worship of the Féminin crowned) - which would be at the origin of the business. Considering, compared to its beliefs, that it was time to prepare humanity at the Era of Aquarius and the return of the worship of the Féminin crowned that this last implied, it would have summoned his brother and his buddy to carry out a " investigation" having for secret vocation to divert the Christians of their religion “male chauvinist pig” (certain néo-pagan have indeed habit to see Christianity like a kind of " Masculine sacré" , with its Messiah and his apostles all masculines and God perceived like masculine in the common opinion) and to convert them, contrary, with spirituality “gynocrat”, the worship of the Goddess.
