FINAL WARNING: The Curtain Falls
for portraying Biblical figures as effeminate men.
Joseph of Arimathea, uncle to Mary, an Essene and well-to-do
merchant in the tin market, who was a member of the Sanhedrin,
appears to have been a guardian to Jesus. There is a legend that
during one of his trips to Britain, Jesus was with him, and they stayed
at a small house at Glastonbury. St. Augustine later wrote to Pope
Gregory that Jesus had established a church there. Gildas (516-570),
an early British historian, said that “Jesus afforded His light to this
island during the height of the reign of Tiberius (who ruled 14-37 AD,
with the ‘height’ being around 25-27).”
It is explained that Jesus may have possibly been in the area to learn
about the Druids. It is a long-held tradition that after the crucifixion,
around 37 AD, Joseph led a group of people who settled in
Glastonbury; and a wattle church was built on what became the
location of the Abbey, which existed until the 1100’s. It is from this
group which came the Culdees (quidam advanae) or Christianized
Druids, who lived on the islands off the west coast of Britain.
Merovee was the first king of the Merovingian bloodline, and he is
surrounded in legend. He was said to have been fathered by two. When
his mother was already pregnant by King Clodio, she went swimming
in the ocean, where she was raped by a sea creature “similar to a
Quinotaur,” so that when Merovee was born, the blood that coursed
through his veins was a combination of both, which gave him
superhuman powers. Merovee claimed he descended from Odin, a
Norse God (which is where we get Wednesday, Woden’s Day, or Odin’s
Day), which some researchers believe actually referred to Dan, one of
the twelve tribes of Israel, because the Merovingian kings claimed to
be the descendants of the Spartans and Trojans.
The tribe of Dan declined to accept their land when Joshua divided it
up, and they marched up the Jordan valley to the city of Laish,
conquered it, and called it the city of Dan. They immigrated to what is
now known as Greece, where they dominated the people who were
living there, the Pelasgians. They became known as the Danaoi. They
established the settlement of Ionia on the Ionian Isles. A branch
migrated to Ireland and were known as the “Tuatha de Danaan,” then
went to Denmark as the Danes, and another branch eventually made
