The Grail Lineage Goes Underground…
The Christ and Magdalene lineage moving to southern France and then to British Isles and integrating with the Druids and then disseminating through history of Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland.
“History tells us that in the land of King Arthur at this time, there was not a single chalice. The Grail appeared at the celebration of the mass in five different shapes, which no one ought to speak of, because the secret things of the sacrament should not be spoken. King Arthur beheld all the changes, the last of which was the change into a chalice. And the hermit that chanted the mass found under the altar cloth a document of instruction that declared that the body of our Lord God should be sacrificed in such a vessel. History does not say that there were no chalices elsewhere, but that there were none in all Great Britain and in the whole Kingdom.” —adapted from Perlesvaus, translated by Sebastian Evans.

The Lineage
The Legacy
Legacy and Continuity: The Grail legend often explores the idea of legacy and the passing down of ideals from one generation to the next. The continuation of the Arthurian legacy and the passing of the torch to future generations are significant themes.
“Another source of inspiration into the Arthurian and Grail mysteries is the Rosicrucian movement, beginning in the seventeenth century from roots in the Renaissance and continuing into the present. More than one writer has seen the Rosicrucians as the inheritors of Grail material. In particular, Manly Palmer Hall, who founded the Philosophical Research Society in the United States in 1936, linked the mysterious group with the Grail, stating that: ”it is evident that the story of…the symbolic genealogy of the Grail Kings relate(s) to the descent of Schools or Orders of initiates. Titurel, (the Grail King), represents the ancient wisdom, and, like the mysterious Father C(hristian) R(ose) C(ross) is the personification of the Mystery Schools which serve the Shrine of Eternal Truth.”
