Sauniere's Model and the Secret of Rennes-le-Château - André Douzet

In 1916, Berenger Sauniere, the enigmatic priest of the French 
village of Rennes-le-Chateau, created his ultimate clue: he went to 
great expense to create a model of a region said to be the Calvary 
Mount, indicating the "Tomb of Jesus. But the region on the model 
does not resemble the actual layout of Jerusalem. Did Sauni6re leave 
a clue as to the true location of his treasure? And what is that 
treasure? After years of research, Andre Douzet discovered this 
model, never collected from the model maker by Sauniere, who had died 
just before the model's completion. Backed by evidence showing 
correspondence between Sauniere and the model maker, Douzet also 
reveals much new evidence, including the revelation that Sauniere 
spent large amounts of time and money in the city of Lyons, often on 
exotic and high tech photographic instruments. And for the first 
time, it is shown Sauni&e met some very interesting people from 
esoteric. in particular Martinist, circles in Lyons. 

This body of evidence for the first time demonstrates there is indeed 
a true mystery surrounding this village priest a theory widely 
speculated on so far by others authors, but seldom if ever backed by 
evidence. The model is the only real clue Sauniere left behind as to 
the nature and location of his treasure and is unveiled in this book, 
which includes pictures and detailed drawings of the model, among 
many other things. It also reveals the location of the region where 
Sauniere had located his treasure... and where Douzet himself has so 
far recovered large quantities of precious and semi-precious 
materials. Above all, Douzet demonstrates that the grounds of 
Perillos not so much hold a treasure (though present), but rather 
a "secret", and that this secret was the true importance of 
Sauni~re's mystery; a secret that is said to be of vital importance 
and terrifying force.

The Treasure Trove of the Knights Templars. 

Part 2 of 2.
THE TREASURE HUNT BEGINS.
The first organised search of the treasure trove left by de Beaujeu 
was organised by one of his descendants, Anne de Beaujeu. She talked 
about "very old documents that testified about the presence of a 
major and historical depot". The men entering the underground network 
of tunnels were decimated by traps that had probably been put in 
place by Count de Beaujeu. Anne de Beaujeu eventually gave up and had 
the entrance to the underground network sealed off.

In 1914, the new owner of the castle, Duke Pierre de Rosemont, felt 
the time was ripe for a new enterprise. After breaking down the wall 
that Anne de Beaujeu had built, the Duke opened the entrance to the 
underground caverns. One of his workmen, however, had his legs 
crushed when he was hit by two stone balls that rolled out of a wall 
another trap installed so many centuries earlier. De Rosemont decided 
to change his tactics and opted for safer methods. After some 
scouting of his own, de Rosemont discovered a hole that led 
downwards, so he decided to try to reach the treasure on his own.
One of the Duke's descendants claims to have excellent evidence 
concluding that Pierre de Rosemont was able to gain access to the 
tomb of Camus said to be very close to the secret treasure of the 
Knights Templars. Apparently, though, having almost reached his goal, 
the Duke was struck by violent blows and cries emanating from below, 
balls of mauve fire encircling the room and strange odours and 
visions. When the water began to rise mysteriously, he decided to 
retreat as quickly as he could. Upon reaching the surface, he decided 
never to return, so he made sure that no one would ever discover the 
hole through which he had reached the underground network.

The oldest part of the castle is a tower, the "Tower of the Eight 
Beauties". Constructed in red bricks, its walls are more than one 
metre thick. It appears circular from the outside, but inside, on the 
first floor, the tower becomes octagonal. At the top are eight 
openings that appear to have no functional use. It is also known as 
the "Tower of Alchemy", for the walls were once covered with 
alchemical symbols. Though these symbols are almost invisible today, 
but we have photographic records of them in our possession.

It was towards this tower that two of the greatest alchemists of our 
age set course: Eugene Canselier and Armand Barbault, the author 
of "Gold of a Thousand Mornings". Their visit to the castle was not a 
tourist outing, instead, Barbault and his wife stayed there for 
several weeks in the company of the now infamous Jacques Breyer.
In 1950, a mysterious English colonel came to Arginy and asked 
whether the owner, Gilbert Marie Jacques de Chambrun d'Uxeloup de 
Rosemont, was willing to sell the estate for no less than one hundred 
million French francs. De Rosemont flatly refused. Two years later, 
he and Jacques Breyer decided to have another go at discovering the 
treasure of Arginy.

THE BIRTH OF NEO-TEMPLARISM.
The new team decided to dig underneath the Tower of the Eight 
Beauties. In their search they hit upon the underground stream that 
was responsible for the sudden flooding that had plagued previous 
seekers. Jacques Breyer believed that the Templar treasures at Arginy 
consisted of several different forms, each requiring a certain kind 
of focus on his part if he was going to find them. He believed that 
there was a material treasure, taken from the Treasury of the Temple 
in Paris and therefore possibly involving large quantities of gold; a 
spiritual treasure, detailing the rituals and doctrines of the Order; 
and an esoteric treasure, a treasure of Wisdom that contained 
information on magic and Hermetic rituals. Breyer also believed that 
the castle might have been specifically converted into an "alchemical 
stronghold" so that certain alchemical experiments could take place 
there. In any case, it does seem that alchemical thought was applied 
in the Tower's construction.

The birth date of neo-Templarism is currently accepted as 12 June 
1952, the birthplace: Arginy. The event is often referred to as 
the "the Resurgence of Arginy". Indeed, Arginy became the focal point 
of the Rosicrucians, Freemasons and other strange orders as well as 
numerous "Templar Orders". Important figures made visits to the 
castle. Amongst the visitors was Constantin Melnik, head of the 
French Secret Service and confidant of the French Minister of the 
Interior, Michel Debre, who visited the castle in 1959. Guarded by 
members of the Secret Service who cordoned off the entire castle, 
Melnik reportedly participated in night-time ceremonies held within 
the castle walls.

It was on 12 June 1952 that the first such alchemical ritual was 
held. Conducted by Breyer, Barbault and his psychic wife and other 
people, some of whom were merely attendants. Breyer, who believed he 
was the reincarnation of Jacques de Molay, tried to reach the ghost 
of Guillaume de Beaujeu, whose remains had been placed close to the 
treasure underneath the treasure. Apparently Breyer was successful in 
this attempt, as de Beaujeu had asked for a certain ritual to be 
performed so that his spirit could be brought back to life. The 
ritual supposedly involved the sexual union between man and wife at 
Arginy, whereupon the resulting child would be the reincarnation of 
the former Grand Master.

Breyer stayed on at Arginy castle from 1952 until 1959. He stated 
that it was "a haunted place, but in the loftiest sense of the word: 
it is a place of high initiation." For seven long years, Breyer did 
fill kinds of occult works and magical rituals, hoping to contact the 
souls of eleven Templars whose spirits had been charged with guarding 
the treasure that lay in Arginy's subterranean chambers. Perhaps the 
entire history of Breyer's searches seems foolish, but it is known 
that during those seven years he did discover an underground chamber 
and locate many entrances to the underground kingdom of Arginy. He 
reportedly found several small objects that were lying in numerous 
small holes. Some of these objects are allegedly kept in a private 
collection.

During his time at the castle, Breyer prepared several books, but 
these are difficult to access at present. His most famous book 
is "Arcanes Solaires", "dedicated to the Ancient 'Arch Masters', 
eleven in all, who came to help me during my seven-year stay at the 
castle of S." In referring to Arginy, Breyer always denoted it with 
the letter "S", or, even more commonly, with the symbol "$". Breyer 
indicated that Arcanes Solaires is the resume of the secret 
inheritance of the last Grand Master of the Temple, Jacques de Molay. 
He claimed to have told this story to the walls of the castle, and, 
like certain inhabitants before him, to have placed alchemical 
graffiti on the castle walls.

Breyer then rounded a neo-Templar order, the Sovereign Order of the 
Solar Temple. Although this Order cannot be confused with the Order 
of the Solar Temple, responsible for the collective suicide of 53 
people in Canada and Switzerland in 1994 and of 16 people in France 
in 1995, it is understood that Jacques Breyer was the great 
inspiration behind the foundation of the Order of the Solar Temple 
and also knew its leaders.

The Sovereign Order of the Solar Temple, however, was supposed to be 
the new Order of the Knights Templars. The eleven entities with whom 
Breyer conversed had requested that Breyer raise the spirit of former 
Grand Master Guillaume de Beaujeu in order that he could guard the 
development of the "resurgence" of his Order. As the story goes, 
everything had been put in place so that the ritual could be 
conducted, but apparently something was not quite right at the last 
moment. Something happened that no one had prepared for and the 
experiment turned into a nightmare. Through personal research and 
interviews with the local villagers who lived on and around the 
estate, we learned that strange noises, followed by horrible cries 
coming from the Tower of the Eight Beauties were heard ever more 
frequently. Luminous events sparked off by these rituals preceded the 
fierce escape of the participants.

Even though the resurrection of Guillaume de Beaujeu was probably 
unsuccessful, it seems quite certain that some or several of the 
eleven guardians were liberated but chose to remain voluntary 
captives of Arginy castle.

The Sovereign Order of the Solar Temple (OSTS) was the exoteric 
result of the initiates' constant participation in events that 
transpired at the castle. The Order elected its first Grand Master in 
1966 and announced its existence the following year in the form of an 
association. The Order was officially recognised by Prince Rainier 
III of Monaco, the location of the Order's official headquarters. 
Book publishing is one of its functions.

The OSTS was the inspiration for most neo-Templar orders that have 
subsequently seen the light of day, including the already mentioned 
Order of the Solar Temple, but also the Renovated Order of the 
Temple, the ORT. Researchers investigating these orders claim to have 
found evidence that they are closely connected to extreme right-wing 
circles, particularly the Italian Propaganda Due, P2. Even if this is 
correct, it should be noted that from its inception the OSTS seems to 
have been of a totally different calibre. Indeed, it is more likely 
that any such links were merely the result of certain people's 
interest in Breyer's works and his organisation.

THE SECRETS STAY HIDDEN.
Though numerous places claim to hold the treasure of the Templars 
(some as far as away as Canada), Arginy is arguably the only place 
where such important events have transpired. Though several people 
would wish that the castle and what has transpired there, did not 
become public knowledge, if only because of the gruesome events that 
eventually led to the collective suicides of 1994 and 1995, it should 
be remembered that what took place at Arginy had one goal: to give 
mankind an important revelation. In former centuries, such 
information was held by the secret circle within the Knights 
Templars. This may explain why Breyer and other key people went to 
Arginy in the years following 1952 and participated in strange 
magical rituals: they believed Arginy held the key to something very 
important.

Unfortunately, whatever that revelation was, it has been suppressed. 
It does seem most likely, though, that the castle holds within its 
walls one of the most important secrets of the Knights Templars. When 
this secret will be revealed, or whether it will be revealed at all, 
is not known.

Since 1959, many people have attempted to fathom this enigmatic 
secret. Having lived around the castle of Arginy, I am aware that 
many curious, painful and sometimes dangerous things happen every 
time someone tries to grasp the terrible secret. Local folklore has 
it that only one person is designated and recognised by the deceased 
Templars to have access to them without risk to his or her life. The 
tradition thus reactivated, it is claimed that the Order shall rise 
from its ashes towards a higher and more certain glory.
Perhaps the French author Robert Charroux found the key when he 
deciphered this passage from Breyer's book: "Think hard: the great 
art is Knowledge."

Jacques Breyer - Writer esoterist
(March 27, 1922 - Loire-Atlantique, April 25, 1996) 


 

Resulting from a family of trader-wine growers, it passes his 
childhood to Anjou, near to nature. Its secondary studies stopped by 
the war, it engages in Resistance, second lieutenant in the forces 
Comet Escape (certificates of the Eisenhower General and the Tedder 
marshal for services rendered to the allied forces), is stopped by 
Gestapo (April 1944), and is off-set in Buchenwald then Flöha 
(Saxony), where it binds friendship with Robert Desnos. After the 
Release, reached tuberculosis, it leaves to be looked after in the 
Pyrenees Orientales where his/her mother gives some objects to him 
having belonged to her maternal grandfather, companion mason stone, 
including one grimoire on medicine by the plants where it discovers 
esoteric keys. Having a military pension of large invalid of war and 
some family revenues, it engages then in an initiatory search which 
will be the object of all its life.

Entered in connection (1951) with the count de Rosemont, owner of the 
medieval castle of Arginy, in Beaujolais wine, it tries to interpret 
the esoteric significance of graffitis of the keep, and settles 
(spring 1952) for seven years, in the contiguous farm. He undertakes 
in the keep of the theurgic operations, incidentally looks after the 
animals and the patients with the firm neighbor, and gives some 
conferences, in Lyon and Paris. He makes the knowledge (May 1952) of 
the journalist Marcel Veyre de Bagot, who is in Arginy to write an 
article on the site, sympathizes with this one and tries with him a 
theurgic operation (June 12, 1952) that he regards as the starting 
point of a resurgence of the Order of the medieval Temple. These 
seven years of retirement in Arginy inspire its the first two books 
to him: Solar Dante alchemist (1957), and Mysteries or secrecies of 
the solar temple (1959), which it will declare thereafter like 
lacunar and comprising certain errors.

Around him is constituted then an abstract circle where occultists or 
freemasons find themselves: the spagyrist and astrologer Armand 
Barbault, Maxime de Roquemaure, Jean Red-headed, Jean of Foucault, 
Victor Michon, Pierre de Ribaucourt, Vincent Cushy job (founder in 
1958 of the Large French National Cabin Operated become today Large 
Traditional Cabin and Symbolic system). This first core joint (at the 
end of 1957) Jean Soucasse followed (be 1958) by Robert Chabrier and 
George Sourp.

Turning the page "Arginy", it turns over partially to the profane 
life, settles in Paris (1959) and separates from Jean Soucasse (who 
will found on June 12, 1967 the Sovereign Order of the Solar Temple). 
Raised to the rank of Master in the Cabin " Willermoz ", to Lyon 
(1961), under the auspices of the Large French National Cabin, it 
will however never belong formally to any maconnic obedience. It 
collaborates (1960) in the review the solar voice , and very 
continuously to direct workshops of research metaphysics, carries out 
a life of independent man, voluntarily only, and continues as a 
recluse his work of writing based on the operative geometry of the 
feature, symbolism, the numbers, alchemy and the théurgie. It 
publishes thus Oubah , a satirical part based on the blades of the 
Tarot, whose third act, Ergonia , will be the topic of a ballet 
represented with the Festival of Avignon (1967). Its major work is 
composed of Ground-Omega (1972), metaphysical thesis by the feature, 
which summarizes Above the tombs (1980) and that comes to supplement 
Vaincre the second dead one (1984), metaphysical thesis by the 
numbers. Incidentally, it publishes the occult forces of the bonsaï 
(1978) and the Tarot of the great painters (1979), the Philosopher 
(1989), which treats spiritualistic ecology, and operative Keys 
checked (1994).

It encourages also the foundation (1970) of a publisher, a center of 
conference and Ergonia workshops, in Paris, where it continues to 
expose its research metaphysics regularly. Invited like lecturer with 
the Foundation Way Golden delicious, where his work is studied, it is 
not long in taking its distances (at the end of 1987) with Luc Jouret 
and Joseph di Mambro, in front of the increasingly large oppositions 
between the doctrines of this group and its own theses, and condemns 
(1994) their acts in the sharpest way by denouncing them like 
incompatible with its thought and its work. (Private archives Breyer 
family; Serge Caillet, the Renovated Order of the temple. With the 
roots of the Solar Temple , Paris, Dervy, 1997.)

  VICTOR BLANCHARD: A Brief Summary of his life and work  Victor 
Blanchard (1878-1953) was, between the two World Wars the Sovereign 
Grand Master of the Martinist Order and Synarchy, under the initiatic 
name of Paul Yesir. In addition he was an important functionary of 
the government administration, rising to become head of the general 
secretariat for the Members of Parliament of France. He was a close 
collaborator of Papus, with whom he organised the Spiritualist 
Congress of June 1908. For a short time linked with Guenon, he 
dissolved this alliance after the affair of the "Ordre of the Temple 
Renove". Lastly he was a disciple and great admirer of Saint-Yves 
d'Alveydre. According to Jean Mallinger (Sar Elgim), " his knowledge 
of magnetism, and the sacred literature of Ancient Egypt were 
remarkable".  After the First World War, Blanchard did not recognize 
the Grand Mastership of Jean Bricaud as the head of Martinism, and 
with some old members of the first Supreme Council, founded his own 
Martinist Order and Synarchy, on the 3rd January 1921. In the absence 
of well established rules regarding the nomination or succession of a 
Grand Master (the Martinist order having been founded by Papus 
himself), it is impossible to say whether Bricaud or Blanchard was 
the legitimate Grand Master. There were other differences that 
existed between the two Martinist Orders. Bricaud who tended to place 
himself in the tradition of the Elect Cohens and Pasqually and 
Willermoz, reserved entry to his order to men who also had to be 
Master Masons, thereby continuing the attempts by Teder to link 
Martinism with Freemasonry. Blanchard remained a practitioner of 
esoteric syncretism as practiced by Papus, and in a similar manner 
allowed women to join and did not require the Masonic qualification. 
Blanchard linked himself with Saint-Yves d'Alveydre: and he therefore 
added to the title of his order the epithet "Synarchy". No doubt, 
that by working at the secretariat of the Members of Parliament, he 
aspired to influence, the course of political events by his occult 
activities, and by disseminating the ideals of synarchy. Victor 
Blanchard was also a Mason in the Grand Orient of France were he was 
a member of the Grand College of Rites as well as being a dignitary 
in a number of other occult orders: " L'Eglise Gnostique Universelle" 
of Bricaud, (under the name of Tau Targelius) and "L'Ordre 
Kabbalistique de la Rose-Croix", both organisations being directed by 
Lucien Mauchel (known as Chamuel - who passed away in 1936). One 
should note that both these organisations are distinct from "L'Eglise 
Gnostique Catholique " and "L'Ordre de la Rose Croix Kabbalistique et 
Gnostique" which were directed by Bricaud then Chevillon. Victor 
Blanchard was also a member of the Order of the Lily and the Eagle ( 
who in their higher degrees convey the initiation of the Rose-Croix 
of the Orient) where he was Commander from 1918, the Polaire 
Brotherhood of which he was president from 1933, and the Pythagorean 
Order in which, thanks to the links created by the FUDOSI, he 
obtained the fourth and last degree: "Archonte of the Arts and 
Sciences '. 

He was one of the most enthusiastic founders of the FUDOSI, which 
allowed him to continue the international action he commenced with 
Papus in June 1908, and conferred a new legitimacy with regard to 
Chevillon, who as Bricaud's successor he did not acknowledge. He was 
one of the three Imperators appointed in 1934 with special 
jurisdiction over Martinism and the countries of the East (Sar 
Hieronymous being Imperator for Europe, and Sar Alden being Imperator 
for the USA). Augustin Chaboseau replaced him as Imperator in 1939.  
BLANCHARD vs. BRICAUD Jean Bricaud consecrated Victor Blanchard as 
Bishop on 5th May 1920. In spite of this consecration Blanchard" 
attitude to Bricaud soon became violently hostile, judging by the 
following passage by Robert Ambelain (Le Martinisme 1946,p150) where 
one also finds elements which undermine Jean Bricaud's legitimacy of 
transmission from Teder, "who made fun of Bricaud, "disciple of 
Vintras" and reproached him for having created the Church of Carmel 
of Elias, and the Johannite Church, (well before the Neo-Gnostic 
Catholic Church) and for "play acting the priest." "Regarding 
Bricaud's alleged rights to Grand Mastership of the Martinist Order 
there are also several witnesses I can remember. One of the witnesses 
is still living here in Paris (Tr. Note - this was in 1946). Brother 
Nicholas Choumitsky (from whom Ambelain received the Russian 
filiation), of an Old Russian Martinist family… pupil and disciple of 
Charles Barlet has told me: I returned to France in 1919. Teder had 
died. I asked Chacornac Snr, who was therefore the Grand Master of 
the Martinist Order, and he answered: It is Blanchard. I therefore 
made contact with Blanchard. A meeting was organised between Bricaud 
and Blanchard. It took place in a café.      

Blanchard arrived with some members of his Supreme Council. Bricaud 
arrived alone, bringing with him a document, framed in glass, which 
claimed that Teder had nominated him as his successor. Blanchard 
became violently angry, and after examination of the document, the 
unanimous opinion was that it was not authentic. Bricaud left the 
impression on those attending of being superficial and lacking any 
depth. I then turned to Charles Barlet and asked him who was the true 
successor of Teder. He smiled and said that Martinism was "a circle 
whose circumference was everywhere and the centre nowhere." He 
intended by this that it did not have a Grand Master. Afterwards 
Madame Detre (Teder's wife) told me that her husband could not have 
designated a successor since wasn't at all intending to die! 
According to her he died following a magical ritual.  

In any case a document remains which places Bricaud's succession in a 
strange position. It is mainly to advise the dignitaries of the Order 
Martiniste of Teder's death. The original document still exists in 
the Archives of the Order Martiniste. It is signed Jean Bricaud 33 90 
95 President of the Supreme Council and Grand Master General of the 
Order. It is published so the dignitaries of the Order were advised 
of the death of Teder, and that Bricaud had referred to himself as 
Grand Master General in his place, they were therefore not consulted. 
There was none amongst them who had elected Bricaud to the Grand 
Mastership. And since Teder had not nominated anyone, as can be seen, 
the result was a little too immediate.. The Grand Councils of Italy, 
Spain, and of Great Britain, cut off their relations with the Supreme 
Council of Lyons. A great number of French Martinists joined 
Blanchard and his Martinist Order and Synarchy, others remained 
isolated and rejoined Augustin Chaboseau's Traditional Martinist 
Order, twelve years later.    

OPENING ADDRESS TO THE MASONIC AND SPIRITUALIST CONGRESS IN 1908 
Victor Blanchard was the secretary general of the Masonic and 
Spiritualist Congress in 1908. In his opening discourse he referred 
to it as "the first autonomous Congress of Occultism " and expressed 
in conclusion the hope of seeing all the French Masonic Rites coming 
to reinforce " the army of knights of Christian idealism."  Here is a 
passage which exemplifies his thought: "The doctrine which now 
excites your curiosity so much is not new, whatever the critics of 
the history of philosophy may say.  If we refer to purely historical 
documents, it is in the most famous Sanctuaries of India and Egypt - 
inheritors of the traditional Wisdom of the black races, Atlantis and 
Lemuria, that OCCULT SCIENCE was born. From there esotericism spread 
to China, Iran, Chaldea, Palestine, Greece, Rome, the Gallic 
countries, Germany and all over the face of the Earth. Let us not 
forget that this philosophy, at once human and divine powerfully 
inspired all of the founders of the great ancient religions, among 
them Ram or Lam, Confucius, Krishna, Zoroaster, MOSES, and Buddha. It 
is from it that that the celebrated legislators of passed ages drew 
their wisest institutions. It is from this sublime source, that the 
majority of poets, philosophers and sages of antiquity and of modern 
times drew the best part of their great and brilliant ideas. One 
rediscovers it hidden beneath the literal text of all the Holy 
Scriptures of the East and West, in the parables of Jesus, right up 
to the Epistles of St Paul. It was held by certain fathers of the 
Church, the Gnostics, Troubadours, Trouveres, Alchemists, heads of 
medieval guilds, and the intellectual elite of the Templars, who 
having escaped torture and bloodshed, transmitted it later through 
the intermediaries of the Rose-Croix, Freemasons, and Martinists.  
HERMETICISM is the scientific, philosophic, religious and social 
synthesis of the past, present and will be, without doubt, that of 
the future. The theologian, philosopher, the savant, doctor, moralist 
or sociologist should make the effort to study occultism where alone 
they will find together with the best solutions to theological, 
cosmological, anthropological and sociological enigmas, as well as 
the elements which will revivify their current knowledge, and how to 
regenerate the human body and soul and of the whole of society.      
The historian, author and artist will also profit from these slightly 
abstract studies. The first will discover the explanation of many 
obscure and troubling facts; the second will easily penetrate the 
higher sense of apparently absurd ancient myths and eastern fables, 
and will be better able to decipher the mysteries of the human soul. 
The third will be able to contemplate without tiring, the different 
forms which reveal the Supreme Beauty in this world as in the other 
planes of the manifested Universe, and consequently will be able to 
give them more adequate physical expression than those which have 
been produced before.  As for those who are tormented by the deeply 
anguishing problem of life after death, they will be soon understand 
through exposure to our doctrines, we hope, the rational certitude 
through experience of the immortality of their conscious and 
spiritual principle, they will understand that Divinity wants the 
best for all its creatures, and that the Heaven, Purgatory and Hell 
of the naïve theologians are nothing more than the physical and moral 
situations in which our soul finds itself throughout the course of 
its eternal career . 

They will know that Reincarnation, taught in the ancient mystery 
schools, just as it was in the original Christian Church, and in 
modern initiations is one of the multiple means employed by the 
Sovereign Bounty (or Supreme Good), in order to hasten the animical, 
intellectual and spiritual evolution of each one of us. They will see 
that man works out unceasingly through the conditions, which must 
preside over successive lives in time and space. They will recognize 
that human beings are all united to each other not only in actions, 
but also in words and above all in thought. It is by these means that 
they will prepare consciously the Coming on Earth of the True 
Fraternity and of the Reign of the Holy Spirit, or of Science allied 
to Faith, of Reason united to Intuition, a lasting and celestial 
fusion which the Feast of Pentecost symbolizes so well."  ( Note: The 
Feast of Pentecost, in 1908, fell on 7th June, the opening day of the 
Congress.) BLANCHARD, THE FUDOSI AND THE POLAIRES The Polaire 
Brotherhood is not generally known in the English speaking world but 
since this article is about Victor Blanchard ( who was its president 
from 1933) it is appropriate that we present some basic information 
regarding its origins, beliefs and activities.  

According to the legend of its foundation, the Polaire Brotherhood 
had its origin in the meeting between Mario Fille, and the mysterious 
hermit Father Julian in 1908 in the hills north of Rome. Father 
Julian gave Mario Fille a sheaf of old parchments which included a 
divinatory method called "the oracle of the astral force ", to which 
he at first gave little interest because the method was painstaking 
and lengthy. Twelve years later he made the acquaintance in Egypt of 
his fellow countryman and musician Cesare Accomani, who became very 
enthusiastic for this method founded on numerological principles. The 
method consisted of phrasing one's question in Italian, adding one's 
name and the maiden name of one's mother, turning them into numbers 
and making with them certain mathematical operations. After several 
hours work a series of numbers emerged and these were retranslated 
into letters giving a cogent and grammatically correct answer to 
one's question. 

The Oracle never failed to behave with perfect reliability, although 
the answers were sometimes in English or German. Fille was obedient 
to Father Julian's command - he alone possessed the key to its use. 
They both experimented with the oracle and noted its efficacious 
powers and that it allowed them to enter into communication with 
the "Esoteric Rosicrucian Centre in the Himalayas", directed by 
the "Three Supreme Sages" or the "Little Lights of the Orient" who 
proposed to prepare them for "the coming of the Spirit under the sign 
of the Rose and Cross". This was in response to one of the first 
questions posed to the Oracle - "Who are you?" In 1929 the oracle 
gave them the mission of of reconstituting the Polaire Fraternity 
whose "members were dispersed in the 15th century through hatred of 
the True Light" and indicated to them that the site of the re-
establishment would be Paris. In 1930 the manifesto of the 
Polaires "Asia Mysteriosa" signed by Zam Bhotiva (Accomani's 
pseudonym) was published and a temple was installed at 36 Junot 
Avenue in Montmartre.     

 Father Julian disappeared in 1908, but had continued to deliver his 
messages through the intermediary of the oracle; and through it 
revealed he was an emissary of the Great White Lodge of the 
Himalayas. Then on the 8th April 1930 Father Julian made his last 
communication and announced his imminent death. The first Polaire 
Bulletin appeared on 9th May 1930, which was going to convey the 
messages of Father Julian in the most modern manner. In a stunning 
coincidence, the Neapolitan occultist Giulano Kremmerz (whose first 
name is the Italian form of the name Julian) founder of the 
Fraternity of the Myriam, who never until now has been cited in 
relation to the Polaires fell into a coma on 7th May 1930 and died on 
the 16th May 1930, after having predicted his own death.  Accomani 
and Fille associated themselves with many influential personalities 
such as the journalists Ferdinand Divoire and Jean Dorsenne, the 
writers Jean Marques-Riviere and Maurice Magre and the synarchic 
occultists Jeanne Canudo, Vivian du Mas and Victor Blanchard. Rene 
Guenon also associated himself for a short time in their enterprise. 
One also finds the names of some other high initiates of the 
Fraternity: Henri Meslin du Champigny (Gnostic Bishop under the name 
Tau Harmonius), Mgr Lesetre (Roman Catholic Bishop), Prince You-
Kantor of Cambodia, Jean Chaboseau (son of Augustin Chaboseau).  If 
the Polaires thought of themselves as recipients of the Boreal 
tradition of Thule, and this is where they derived their name, in 
what manner was it connected to a "Polar" tradition and what was its 
mission: e.g. Jean Marques-Riviere the journalist in his forward 
to "Asia Mysteriosa " mentions that both Emmanuel Swedenborg and the 
early 19th century visionary Catherine Emmerich had believed in a 
Spiritual center in Tibet or Tartary " This center has as its mission 
or rather its reason for existence , the direction of the spiritual 
activities of the Earth".  The Bulletin of the Polaires, 9th June 
1930 explains: "The Polaires take this name because from all time the 
Sacred Mountain, that is the symbolic location of the Initiatic 
Centres, has always been qualified by different traditions 
as "Polar". And it may very well be that this Mountain was once 
really Polar, in the geographical sense of the word, since it is 
stated everywhere that the Boreal Tradition (or Primordial Tradition, 
source of all traditions) originally had its seat in the Hyperborean 
regions.  The ceremonies were particularly stunning, the adepts met 
in hooded robes. The inner history of the Fraternity is little known -
 their archives having been confiscated by the Nazis. It seems there 
were many problems in discovering the Grand Master whom the oracle 
announced was to soon arrive. Following a new announcement from the 
oracle some Polaires rushed to Montsegur and Lordat where they 
excavated vainly to find the Grail and the Albigensian Treasure. The 
Fraternity was a member of the FUDOSI in 1937 and 1938 and it was in 
its temple in avenue Junot that the Convent of August 1937 took 
place.  The Polaires tried to protect France using their magnetic 
powers but it seems the Second World War destroyed all their efforts 
and the Fraternity seems not have survived.    In 1939 Victor 
Blanchard was expelled from the FUDOSI, according to Jean Mallinger. 
The reason cited is that on 14th July 1938 he auto-consecrated 
himself as the Universal Grand Master of the Rose-Croix and of all 
the initiatic orders of the entire world. He sent a proclamation to 
each Grand Master of the Federation, which requested allegiance, and 
recognition of his new dignity. As a result some members also left 
the Martinist Order and Synarchy (amongst them George Lagreze (Sar 
Mikael) and Jeanne Guesdon (Sar Puritia). Many of them joined 
Augustin Chaboseau's Traditional Martinist Order. He was also 
replaced in all of the other high offices he held. Only the Polaires 
and the Martinist Order and Synarchy remained loyal to him. However 
he was later reconciled with the FUDOSI at the convent of 1946, but 
was not re-appointed as Imperator.

Margins of Christianity, Dictionary of the religious world in 
contemporary France
Collective, under the direction of Jean-Pierre Chantin
Beauchesne Editor, 277 p.
Paris, 2001.
Here is a dictionary not like the others! A dictionary devoted to the 
founders of sects, the catholic or Protestant "dissidents" and to 
large the Masters of l?esoterism. Not less than 188 French-
speaking "personalities" of the occult and esoteric world are listed. 
The bibliographic records are excellent, swarm with details and 
historical precise details.
The reader has notes at the same time historical and philosophical. D?
emblée, the researcher enters a different universe, that of the 
mystics and illuminated in search of truth and d?absolu. These men 
and these women (who account for 9% of the initiates or sectarian) 
were the flag-holders of the parallel Traditions (traditions esoteric 
and occult) and their humanistic goals, altruists and, were to 
transform the life of the men, but also of the Earth. They failed 
all, but the Tradition continues?
The reading of the notes is extremely instructive. C?est as well as 
men like Jacques Breyer (founder of the solar Tradition), Papus (the 
popularizer of l?esoterism), Victor Blanchard (FUDOSI), Raymond 
Bernard (supreme ex-legate of l?AMORC), Rene Guénon (the most famous 
esoterist of the XXe century), Paul the Court (Founder d?Atlantis), 
Joséphin Péladan (Rosicrucian brotherhood), Alexandre Freytag 
(founder of the Friends of l?Homme), etc appear in this dictionary 
and are well described. In addition, the authors highlight qu?il 
existed at XIXe and the XXe centuries a religious Tradition and 
occult very long-lived.
Lastly, cherry on the cake, l?index of the names and the movements is 
extremely well presented and constitutes a very good means of making 
research. In the same way is a bibliographical selection d?ouvrages 
classified by topics placed? in d?ouvrage beginning!
Among the authors, let us quote l?historien Swiss Jean-François 
Mayer, professor with l?University of Freiburg and author of many 
books on the problem of the sects, Bernard Blandre, president of l?
AIEMR, Régis Dericquebourg, of l?University of Lille, André Baubérot, 
the Protestant sociologist, very disputed Massimo Introvigne and not 
less disputed Eric Poulat (Directing of research at CNRS). Lastly, 
let us underline the excellent notes of Serge Caillet who wrote the 
biographies of the former large-Master of the AMORC, Raymond Bernard 
(which was in his time one of the most powerful characters of the 
esotericism as well in France as in Africa), of Jeanne Guesdon (1884-
1955), which was a Large-Master of the AMORC for the French-speaking 
countries, as of Hans Gruter (1874-1953) which was, him also, person 
in charge for the AMORC in France.
In spite of these reserves d?usage, this dictionary has its place in 
the library of Pasteur, the theologist and the researcher. Only the 
price will be able to make reflect the future purchaser: 45.28 euros.

 Sects, of the totalitarian paradises? 
Jean-Pierre Stucki and Catherine Munsch,
Desmarets,
Strasbourg, 2000.
Still a book on the sects! But, this one has the characteristic to be 
addressed to a regional public, in fact Alsace, Lorraine and the 
Franche-Comté. But, it goes without saying, that such a work can 
interest the readers of all the areas, and even those from abroad, 
because information of this publication is sometimes very interesting.
The authors are journalists of Strasbourg who, after having carried 
out an investigation near the former followers and associations "anti-
sects", try to answer several questions about the establishment and 
the intrigues of the sects in the area is France. The step is 
frightening, because the territory is vast and especially the 
diversity of the sects is very large. The authors refer to about 
thirty movements, but reality is very different! What the authors 
neglected to say, it is that Alsace is the "paradise" of associations 
of the rosicrucian type or martinist. Not less than ten sects R+C, 
only in the area of Mulhouse! The esotericism is the principal crenel 
of the sects in Alsace. It should not be forgotten, indeed, that the 
Rosicrucian brotherhood was born in 1614 in Strasbourg.
If the chapter "inventory of fixtures" is average, on the other hand 
that of the "entrance doors" is excellent. The infiltration of the 
sects in the mediums of health, the schools, the universities or the 
vocational training is well highlighted. The testimonys collected by 
the two journalists are right and show the methods used well to 
recruit new followers.
There is still the "fight against the sects", "why the sects" and 
the "solutions" to leave itself there (or for not y entrerâ). Nothing 
again in these chapters. It there of tens of books on the market 
which say the same thing.
It should be stressed that the authors do not make lace when they 
define what is a sect (pp 137 ss.). All the sects do not have 
dictators at their head and the comparison with Hitler is rather 
malvenue. What thinks the "Friends of the Man" who have members in 
Alsace? In addition, the authors should have made the nuance between 
the sectarian sects known as "dangerous" and the "drifts". The case 
of the Christian Open Door of Mulhouse is typical: this church is 
classified like sect by their authors whereas, for us, it is only 
about one simple drift of practical theology. The cause first of this 
legal problem is that the theology of the ministries was always the 
weak point of the churches pentecotists. In addition, to put on the 
same foot the "Christian Open Door" and the "Eglise of Pentecost of 
Besancon "is a nonsense. The history, the doctrines and especially 
the practices are different. Finally to place the Kwasizabantu 
Mission as sect is a fault: one should not confuse the South-African 
or German Mission with the French Mission. All these annoying errors 
are likely to amalgamate all the churches resulting from the Reform 
with the sects.
Our conclusion is moderate: the good côtoie the least good. There is 
interesting information like it "heated there". This book is worth 
only by the quality of the questioned people. The bibliography is non-
existent (4 books only). In spite of its gaps, this book can be 
useful to researchers (theologists, psychologists, etc).

Also let us underline that our Belgian friends will be able to read 
the book of Alain Lallemand, the sects in Belgium (see our general 
bibliography).
