reflect the usual way of how it is usually in this aspect, in fact, reminds me very much the
iconography of the Mystic Rose, Saint Rosaline or Saint Teresa of Lisieux, sacred images to

which she was devoted to the Brotherhood of the Rosicrucians. Magdalene embraces the

cross in an unusual way: the angle of the crucifix indicates the mysterious hill

of La Pique, or a point on the famous meridian 0 (zero); for the investigator Paul Rouelle
the cross is aligned on an exact point of the horizon, in the direction of the heliacal rising of

the sun on the morning of 17 January.

In Hebrew, as in all ancient alphabets, any letter has

a numerical value, the letter-digit association (called

Gematria, i.e. the art and the possibility of finding

numerical correspondences with the words written

in Hebrew) leads back to a symbolic sense; 17 (more
particularly in the form of a date 17-1) is the link

between the earth and the sky. This correspondence

is also found in passage 17-1 of Genesis, when God

manifested himself to Abraham and told him "I am

the Lord" (24). The scholar Mario Alberto

Schonwald, told me that the date corresponded, for

the first Christians, to the day of the Epiphany, then
the Church for unknown reasons, moved it to 6-1. Beyond that I have found that the term

Epiphany means vision from above, this for the initiate is one of the concepts that indicates

the state of perfection in which he, after having united his soul to God, contemplates the

total truth. However, the features of the statue with a slightly enlarged belly could imply a

woman's pregnancy (although knowing that representing prosperous women was

synonymous with abundance, wealth, for families who erected such places of prayer, I want

to emphasize that a sculpture from the like connotations are found in the Church of the

Magdalene in Paris). It certainly

does not help to dispel all doubts
the inscription dedicated to the

Holy "Regnum mundi et omnem

ornatum soeculi contempsi propter

anorem domini

mei Jesù Christi, quem vidi, quem

amavi, quem crediti, quem dilexi."

I abandoned the realm of this
world, the worldliness of this

century, for the love of Jesus

Christ, whom I saw, whom I loved,

to whom I believed, to which I

would dwell. Saunière drew this

epitaph from a prayer of the local

breviaries, exactly from the rest of

the eighth lesson of the commune of

non-virgins from the office of the
Feminine Saints, the third night of

the mornings. One wonders why

approaching almost homologous

verbs such as loved, and I love in

the same speech? Note the
