Chartres:
the Virgin Mary’s Seat on Earth
In
1926, Fulcanelli – an obvious pseudonym – wrote “Le
Mystère des Cathédrales” – The Mystery
of the Cathedrals. The publication not merely created a renewed
interest in the how and the why of the Gothic cathedrals, but
also raised the question who Fulcanelli was.
Several names have since been put forward, tall stories have been
spun, including how Fulcanelli was over a hundred years old, did
not die, but instead disappeared. It is now generally believed
that the man at the origin of the mystery was René Schwaller
– the man who, with the addition of “de Lubicz”
to his name, would later make a name for himself as an Egyptologist,
performing detailed analyses that would inspire the likes of John
Anthony West.
Chartres became the Virgin’s throne
upon Earth, an earthly palace for the Queen of Heaven. When you
walk through the large doors of the cathedral, you are indeed
walking in a dark, gigantic hollow… the Goddess’ womb?
