What is the significance of the Fisher King?

The Holy Grail is the same as the Philosopher's Stone: An allegory for spiritual transcendence by means of internal Alchemy.

i hear that at one point there was a cross people were saying was the one jesus was crucified on but it got stolen when the city was sacked and got moved to irak if i remember right. that happened , i forgot when , probably a few hundred years after jesus died. was probably a fake wonder what happened with it . too tired to search for references.

>>15558060
Yeah, I have it in my kitchen. I drink grapefruit juice from it.

Alchemy doesn't mean mutilating yourself, you know that?

>>15558623
It could be an "emerald" jewel that fell from Lucifer's crown as he was cast from heaven. It's likely moldavite, a green stone that came from the heavens. The stone was made into the emerald tablets as well as the holy grail. Moldavite has a unique texture that looks almost like it was naturally engraved. The grail was not a grail, but a stone. Lapis exilis.

"Lucifer was said to have claimed the emerald and set it in a crown. The crown was destroyed when Lucifer fell to Earth from Heaven. Apparently, the stone had survived. It, being the source of Lucifer’s power over Alchemy, was said to have split into two parts. At first, Lucifer pursued the two fragments of the emerald, but gave up. Then, human beings found them and made them into a tablet and another object which eventually became a cup."

The real question is where the ark of the covenant is.

The word derives from Celtic and is ultimately related to "creel" or basket container, originally that which contained the severed head of a conquered enemy.

This. I want it. Do you think those ethiopians are telling the truth? Because that church seems pretty unguarded.

I'd heard it was supposed to be a sort of covered meat pot rather than a cup. Could be wrong though.

>>15560581
Ah yes who could forget the famous meat pot during the last supper.

>>15560616
The idea was that it held the lamb during the passover meal.

That's just your stomach talking, bro.

Yes. Jesus was historical person and he did drink from some cup before dying. Thus grail exists, or atlest did. Does the cup have magical powers? I dunno.

>>15558060
No, it's an invention of French romantic poetry in the middle ages. It was originally it was a dish, in any case.

take any contrast that you can think of.
the more impossible it appears to transmute a thing from one domain into the other, the more access to a holy grail is required.

whoa
>Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of 153 large fish, but even with so many the net was not torn.

Did it exist Yes. Does it still exist doubtfull. Consider that even finding the cross that Jesus was on was a miracle, it was left in a cave for centuries. Now imagen a random cup in a house in Jerusalem, almost no chance of it being preserved.

post even one credible link.

>>15563376
What I post you won't accept as credible, so I won't bother trying to find some Jew infested source to satisfy you.

>>15563611
