Who is fulcanelli. Notes on the Cross of Hendaye
"El León verde impulsa la flor"
"The alchemists chose as their means of communication, the use of images and allegory to convey the needed information and ideas associated with their hermetic art. In the numerous collections throughout Europe and in the United States, there is a dizzying array of images conveying the processes and ideas that correspond to the workings of the alchemist's ultimate goal, the Magnum Opus, or Great Work. This Magnum Opus is the fabled Philosopher's Stone, which will allow the transmutation of something of a base nature in to something of a divine or higher nature. The most common tale associated with alchemists and their royal patrons at the height of the use of alchemy is the creation of alchemical gold from lead. Other uses of the Philosopher's Stone, was said to be the creation of the Elixir of Life, thereby granting the drinker immortality or near immortality. In both of these efforts, the alchemist did not have a recipe book in plain language to work by, because each alchemist approached the Magnum Opus from a slightly different point of view, but they each needed to understand the basics of a given operation to achieve their goal."
Who is fulcanelli.- A search for Fulcanelli
Whomever fulcanelli the alchemist, writer of two known works under the name, whom they originally were, was a successfully concealed identity; a result of the deliberate intension to do so. The concept is carried to the extreme in the text written about the elusive philosophers stone....the text weaves a descending, inward spiral, that, at first, appears to reveal secrets that become obscured by the weight of an overwhelmingly complex literary style ,challenging the readers analytical and intellectual abilities, setting them adrift in a labyrinth of relatedness, illuminated by the complex etymological context , manipulated by skillful use of semantic meanings of the written text. The over all effect is one of deliberate Obfuscation , a playground of rhetorical prose ,intellectual gymnastics that probably crosses into Sophist territory, meeting the readers own imaginative interpretation...The writing, it-self, is truly the stone of a philosopher incarnate, speaking beyond any literal objectivity implied by the formation of ink printed on paper and the observed letters or even illuminated text on a screen...
Where to begin a search for fulcanelli, is there a solution to this enigma? The serpent begins at the end, devouring its own tail, only to find its beginning, after having consumed itself in the effort. This alchemical symbol, the Oroborus, could be one KEY to the understanding of the search for the unknown. Is the treasure always out of reach until the end of the search ; then is it too late? , or is the search itself a treasure, our record, a window looking back at what had been revealed.
let us then start at the beginning of the end , so to speak, with the the Cross of Hendaye:
The Mysterious Cross of Hendaye France, la Croix Mystérieuse, as it is known to some of the locals.
Because of the revelation of Fulcanelli, the famous alchemist of the 20th century, the cyclical cross of Hendaye, in the mystery of cathedrals, philosophers, scientists, astronomers, researchers, Freemasons and alchemists, around the world, are trying to decipher the esoteric symbols of this mysterious puzzle that is located in Hendaye , the Basque Country.
Hendaye (Basque Hendaia) is the most southwesterly town in France. It is a commune of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques département, on the Atlantic coast, the "Côte Basque", on the right bank of the Bidassoa that marks the border with Irún, Spain.
" the Great Cross of Hendaye", a stone cross carved with alchemical symbols that occultists find to contain encrypted information on a future global catastrophe, is now located next to The church of Saint-Vincent. Built in 1598, and largely reconstructed over the centuries following fires and bombardments. Its most recent transformation was finished in 1968.
The seafront Château of Antoine d'Abbadie, built by the architect and theorist Eugène Viollet-le-Duc is a monument of the Gothic Revival.
The cross is sometimes passed by pilgrims who travel the path of Santiago de Compostella, often they will leave a bottle of wine, on or near the cross, for the next thirsty traveler.
The etymology of the name Compostela:
The popular etymology of the name "Compostela" holds that it comes from Latin campus stellae, i.e. "field of the star", making Santiago de Compostela "St. James in the Field of the Star". This name would come from the belief that the bones of St. James were taken from the Middle East, to Spain. These bones were then buried where a shepherd had spotted a star and a church was eventually built over the bones and later replaced with the Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela.
Another etymology is Compositum, i.e. "The well founded", or Composita Tella, meaning "burial ground".
To the Prophets of doom:
There are some modern theories that presupposes the cross of Hendaye to predict the end of the world literally. Many of the theorizers pointing out that a literal interpretation of the code writing on the cross suggest one safe place to take refuge... ( imaging what all those people would do in one place with the rest of the world gone!) many of these theories, include references to: the Tarot( does not predict the future), Jewish Kabala (having nothing to do with hermetic cabala other than a similar name), one even goes so far as to suggest that fulcanelli was alive and or channeling information during a lunar eclipse , with the rock band the Grateful Dead , preforming in front of the great pyramids of Egypt! And yet the literal meaning of alchemical text is purposely obscured, even fulcanelli goes to great lengths to express this idea throughout all of the writings!

"...And yet the philosophers themselves attest that they never speak more obscurely than when they seem to express themselves with precision; their apparent clarity deludes those who let themselves be seduced by the literal meaning, and who do not attempt to make sure whether it agrees or not with observation, reason and the possibility of nature. " "They should first strive to discover what the Ancients meant by the metaphoric expression of the fire...For indeed we are not speaking of a cooking fire here..." from dwellings of The Philosophers
From the view seen at the top of a Tower , an earthly landscape, inhabited by every generations endeavor to relearn some lost knowledge of the past , unfolds. Perpetually reborn each spring , flowers bloom amidst the weeds in the fertile soil of the ages. The sage grows in the raw earth sifted through changes in the comprehension of communication and languages semantical context, drifting significance of relevant objectivity. Information is a golden treasure raining down from the stars, to be brought back , stored in a hive.
"He whose face gives no light,
shall never become a star."
" Danaë represents our crude mineral, such as it is extracted from the mine. It is the earth of the sages which contains within it the active and hidden spirit, alone capable, says Hermes, of realizing 'by these things the miracle of only one thing.' As a matter of fact, the word Danaë comes from the Dorian Greek (Dan), earth, and (ae), breath, spirit. philosophers teach that their raw material is a fragment of the original chaos and it is indeed what is meant by the name Acrisius, king of argos and Danaë..s father: (Akrisia), is confusion, disorder; (Argos), means coarse, uncultivated, incomplete. As for Zeus, it denotes the sky, the air and the water, to such an extent that the Greeks, to express the action of raining, said: (gei o Zeus), Jupiter sends rain, or more simply, it rains. Therefore this god appears as the personification of water, of a water capable of penetrating bodies, of metallic water, for it is of gold or a least golden. it is precisely the case of the hermetic solvent, which, after undergoing fermentation in an oak barrel, assumes, upon decantation, the appearance of liquid gold." from the Fulcanelli text.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Danaë is Rembrandt's painting from the collection of Pierre Crozat which from the 18th century resides in the Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg. It depicts the character Danaë from Greek mythology, the mother of Perseus.
She is presumably depicted as welcoming Zeus, who impregnated her in
the form of a shower of gold. Given that this is one of Rembrandt's
most magnificent paintings, it is not out of the question that he
cherished it, but it also may have been difficult to sell because of
its eight-by-ten-foot size.[1] Although the artist's wife Saskia was the original model for Danaë, Rembrandt later changed the figure's face to that of his mistress Geertje Dircx.On June 15, 1985 Rembrandt's painting was attacked by a man later judged insane; he threw sulfuric acid
on the canvas and cut it twice with his knife. The entire central part
of the composition was turned into a mixture of spots with a
conglomerate of splashes and areas of dripping paint.The process of restoring
the painting began the same day. Following consultations with chemists,
art restorers began washing the surface of the painting with water;
they kept the painting in the vertical position, and blew mouthfuls of
water at the painting to prevent further degradation of the painting.
The restoration of the painting was accomplished between 1985 and
1997 by staff of the State Hermitage's Laboratory of Expert Restoration
of Easel Paintings: Ye.N. Gerasimov (group leader), A.G. Rakhman, and
G.A. Shirokov, with the participation of T.P. Alioshina in matters of
scientific methodology.
The Wheel is Zeus of the Greeks, Jupiter of the Romans, the planet, symbolically, it could sometimes suggest the decline and fall of those in power and the ensuing chaos that allows others to take advantage of new opportunities amidst a confusion .... Also it could represent the" true" cross "X"... of which we see, as the first letter, inscribed on the cross of Hendaye...
"X - Letter X: Spiritual Theosophical Dictionary on Labarum
Labarum (Latin). The standard borne before the old Roman Emperors, having an eagle upon it as an emblem of sovereignty. It was a long lance with a cross staff at right angles. Constantine replaced the eagle by the Christian monogram with the motto en touty nika which was later interpreted into In hoc signo vinces. As to the monogram, it was a combination of the letter X, Chi, and P, Rho, the initial syllable of Christos."
But the Labarum had been an emblem of Etruria ages before Constantine and the Christian era. It was the sign also of Osiris and of Horus who is often represented with the long Latin cross, while the Greek pectoral cross is purely Egyptian. In his "Decline and Fall" Gibbon has exposed the Constantine imposture. The emperor, if he ever had a vision at all, must have seen the Olympian Jupiter, in whose faith he died.
"Apocalypse (Greek: Ἀποκάλυψις Apokálypsis; "lifting of the veil") is a term applied to the disclosure to certain privileged persons of something hidden from the majority of humankind. with regard to hermetic knowledge, it does not refer to the end of the world literally... It is a reference to the the precession of the equinoxes..The earth spins Like a wobbling top, the orientation of the Earth's axis is slowly but continuously changing, tracing out a conical shape in a cycle of approximately 25,765 years (the so called Great or Platonic year, and also the determining factor in the length of an astrological age). This movement is caused by the gravitational forces of the Sun and the Moon..."
"The Age of Pisces is technically the current age and astronomers and some astrologers believe it will remain so for approximately another 600 years. At that time, the vernal equinox point will no longer be facing Pisces, but moved into the constellation of Aquarius, thus beginning the Age of Aquarius. However there are many astrologers who believe that the Age of Aquarius has already arrived or will arrive soon.
The moon tarot represents the zodiac sign Pisces...".
