“Men have collected stones since the beginning of time and have apparently assumed that certain ones were the containers of the spirit of the life-force.”
– Carl Jung
Graëlfire is a contemporary reinterpretation of a timeless tale: the legend of the Grail and the quest to locate it. The story was inspired by the medieval Arthurian version that tells of knights searching for a holy relic whose location is guarded by the Fisher King, a wounded custodian who exists between life and death in an otherworldly wasteland. Of Arthur’s knights, only one – Perceval (in early tales) and Galahad (in later ones) – was pure enough to possess the Grail. Though Graëlfire is a reworking of Grail myth, analogies to Arthurian legend are explicit: the quest for the Graëlstone – an object with miraculous powers; the Graëlgarth – a Camelot-style home to a company of Graëlhim ‘knights’ ruled over by Celestine, a female representation of Arthur; Angelo – a liminal Merlin figure; the rift-ghast – a wounded Fisher King symbol; Gideon Drude – a Lancelot character who sought the Grail but was prevented by the sin of his forbidden love; and Lena Dubois, a seeker who alone is pure enough to achieve the goal. There are several traditions about the nature of the Grail. According to Western Christian tradition, it is the chalice or bowl used by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper, though some scholars argue that it has origins in even older, Celtic traditions of an otherworldly magic vessel with curative powers. Others claim it arose from the Arabic or Byzantine myth of a talismanic stone that fell from heaven. All agree it was an object with sacred and mysterious properties. – Stephen Chamberlain – https://www.stephenchamberlain.net/graelfire/supernatural-stones-and-the-grail-quest
Something to think about …
The Grail is not a magical cup from which Jesus drank, nor a golden platter that carried the decapitated head of John the Baptist. These are only medieval inventions to reframe Gnostic knowledge under religious symbolism to appease the Church.
In actuality, the Grail was a magical stone capable of manifesting thoughts into physical reality. It possessed an oracular intelligence that directed its superhuman guardians into carrying out the divine will.
According to the version of the Grail story told by Wolfram von Eschenbach, it was a stone that “fell from heaven,” or rather was brought to Earth by a troop of “angels” that remained neutral when “Lucifer” waged his war against God. In other words, it is an alien artifact brought to this planet and entrusted to an elite human lineage.
This Grail Stone is an example of High Demiurgic Technology. In addition to doing everything the Philosopher’s Stone could do, it could also manifest food for the Grail knights just by picturing what they desired. Those who looked upon it would be restored to youth and cease aging. It was described as being the most perfect of substances, as if from another paradisaic world. It also shone as a bright light, and would disappear or reappear as needed. Those who were not spiritually activated could not perceive it, thus it existed on the threshold of physicality itself. And the Grail seemed to carry a will of its own, as if alive.
These properties follow from a material like the Philosopher’s Stone being refined, increased, and multiplied to a far higher degree of power. Instead of merely being imbued with amorphous etheric and astral energies, the Grail was imbued with such high concentrations and ordering of these energies, that it came to possess a veritable soul.
Thus the Grail Stone was possessed by a soul. Since it communicated divine commands that were antithetical to the workings of dark forces and the Corrupt Demiurge, that soul was either the Christ intelligence or an extension of it. Or put another way, the Grail Stone was a remote computer terminal for the Demiurge. In the hands of the Grail knights, it allowed interfacing with the divine extension of the Demiurge, a.k.a. the higher ego of the Universe, the Christ.
But what happens when the Grail Stone falls into the hands of those with selfish motivations? Then something else is invoked through the Stone, and that’s what happened in ancient Egypt.
