the desert, while he was forced to stop on the sand of the sea

... How to interpret this

prophecy? The devil is

identified in Lucifer:
The Archangel of the

morning star, in

rebellion against God

became Satan, in the

form of a red serpent,

was the cause of Eve's

temptation. For the

Catholic religion the

woman mentioned in
the episode represents

the holy people of the

messianic times:

therefore, the Church

itself Some scholars

think that the prophet

John referred to the
Virgin Mary (Our

Lady), (or to a Celestial

Virgin), seeing it as a

new Eve: the daughter

of Sion (juxtaposition to

the denomination of

VIII Station of the Way

of the Cross). But if the image of the portal really corresponds to the parable of the

Apocalypse, I wonder why the Abbot Saunière, contrary to the dogmas of his own clergy,
wanted to empathize the woman in Mary Magdalene.

Following some Gnostic doctrines, including a text in the Coptic language called Pistis

Sophia (i.e. the sacred female that embodies wisdom, knowledge, gnosis) the Virgin of Light,

the bride of God. It is said that she nourished pity towards the souls lapsed (the demons) has

been drawn to the earth. Eventually it will rise back to the sky, but only after a conflict

where all the universal forces will be deployed (Armageddon?) Also, in this treatise there is

mention of a conversation between the Messiah and the Magdalene who is called the heir of
the realms of Light. But, drawing inspiration from the principle of Hermes all that is below

is like what is above, certain schools of thought separated Sophia into two personalities: the

higher Sophia (the Celestial Mother) and the terrestrial Sophia (the Sophia Prouliens, the

lascivious, the sinner).

And is it not perhaps the Magdalene venerated by the

Gnostics, the Cathars, the Templars ... the bride of Jesus,

that is, of the divinity? The Magdalene was the Saint who

knew the true name of God, she who was called the apostle

of the apostles for the Gnostics; It is remembered in an
apocryphal script (The Dialogues of the Saviour) as the

female who knew the whole. So, it was the woman who guarded the supreme knowledge. I

abandoned the worldliness of this World. They say the words engraved on the portal, this

sentence dictates from her seems almost an echo (a confirmation) to a recent speech on

Sufism and Rosicrucian by Alberto Cesare Ambesi.
