The Merovingian Mythos and the Mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau

by Tracy R. Twyman

Occult expert and historian Tracy R. Twyman has been investigating the enigma of the Holy Grail and Rennes-le-Chateau for more than seven years, and has written extensively about it in Dagobert’s Revenge Magazine , as well as other publications.

Now at last she has fully disclosed the shocking conclusions of her exhaustive research. Twyman has discovered that the bloodline of the Merovingians stems not only from Christ and Mary Magdalene, but in fact, goes back to the god-kings and queens of the antediluvian world.

She has also determined the nature of the physical object called "the Holy Grail" - a magnificent structure hidden beneath Rennes-le-Chateau, France. And within this structure is perhaps the greatest treasure of human the grave of a sacred king named Cain, who brought kingship and the wisdom of the gods down from Heaven.

Throughout history, the secret of the Grail, the tradition of the Grail, and the bloodline of the Grail have inspired the activities of secret societies, and guided the destiny of humanity. It has been at the center of a struggle both cosmic and terrestrial that has lasted for thousands of years.

In the pages of this volume, Twyman reveals the answers to dozens of questions that have remained unanswered for decades, centuries, and even millennia. She deciphers nearly all of the many clues pertaining to this mystery that have been left by the Priory of Sion, Berenger Sauniere, the Knights Templar, and the Freemasons. But more than that, she has decoded a tangled web of clues found in history, world mythology, Judeo-Christian scriptures, and the traditions of the occult, resulting in a bold reinterpretation of the story of human civilization. And the outcome is not what you would expect.

The villains and protagonists are not who you might presume them to be. For the Holy Grail is a treasure both cursed and sacred, bestowing knowledge both of Good and of Evil. After reading this book, you will never think of history, mythology, or the Bible the same way again.

I thought this was a well written book, with lots of research. The Author presents her theory and for the most part seems good. There are a lot of quotes from Holy Blood, Holy Grail. The history of the Priory of Sion is well covered, as is the route from the beginning times to now. Nicholas De Vere's work is included a lot also. I will read some of her other work, after covering a few more titles from the genre.

Ever since reading "The Holy Blood, Holy Grail" in 2002, I have been fascinated by "alternative" history and the myths and legends of the Holy Grail and the Merovingians.

I found this book interesting, but I found some of the author's hypotheses extremely tenuous at best. "A" plus "B" doesn't always mean "C", and from my perspective she made a lot of claims without sufficient facts to back her up. She was standing on the shoulders of the authors of "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" and others, but very soon her leaps of logic left me shaking my head at the conclusions she had drawn.

In his book "Underworld", Graham Hancock, who is dealing with similar subject matter (origins of civilization and global flood myths) puts forward far better scientific fact-based research into the origins of civilization. While incorporating myths and legends regarding Atlantis and the great floods, Hancock doesn't make the fantastic leaps to judgment this woman does.

Though this book was published in 2004 after Dan Brown's "The DaVinci Code," which was published in 2003, this book makes NO reference to it, or its claims. I would not have an issue with this except the fact that she claims that if there were some truth that Jesus fathered a royal bloodline that "no one today would have an issue with this". How can she claim such a thing after the controversy that "The DaVinci Code" stirred up and how the Vatican condemned it? How could that be ignored? One gets the impression that the book's manuscript had lain around the publisher's office gathering dust and they decided to cash in on the controvery, yet didn't make the necessary additions to the text to take in the latest developments.

Another criticism I have: this book needs a better editor. There were several embarrassing typos that should have been caught. These errors makes the book look "bush league" and unprofessional, thereby contributing to the belief that one can't take much in this book too seriously.

I thought this book was thoroughly researched. Sometimes while I was reading it I wasn't sure what the connection to Rennes Le Chateau was...there's one thing that I do agree with the author and that Sauniere and his cronies were up to no good and that energy was clearly within the church of Mary Magdalene in 2017. I wanted to reach out to the author when I learned she had committed suicide a few years ago. Sad news.

One of the best sections of the book was the comparison of the ancient stories and how she theorized that the Greeks, Sumerians, Vikings etc were all talking about Atlantean kings, gods and demi0gods. Her arguments were quite convincing and seemed to shed light on these stories. Perhaps the ancient myths were talking about the some gods, just by different names?

Holy cow! I don’t even know where to start. The first 30% of the book was like cliff notes for Holy Blood, Holy Grail book. Just read THAT book. Then we go from Templar’s, Freemasons to CIA and government conspiracy to sex orgies, fairies, elves, angels and bible readings, where in some twisted tale about half humans and angels having sex and out comes Cain who’s father is now Satan and the true messiah. Wait what!?! Throughout the whole book she quotes everybody and their mother. Then she takes their work and twists it around to fit whatever may have crossed her mind during what I can only describe as a drinking bender. At the end she herself admits that it’s impossible, impossible to prove any of it. It’s awful. A lot of research was done to come out with a book full of nothing but fantastical speculations and nothing new.

The premise is entertaining, but this is pure nonsense.

[Thomas · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is a look at - and far beyond - the usual theories related to a continuing bloodline of Jesus and organizations that have been formed to protect that bloodline and its interests. Tracy Twyman obviously has done a great deal of homework on the topic and blended it with her own instincts and intuitions. Some of the observations in the book are eye-opening. Some are frightening. Many are..., well, cuckoo. This reader suspects that the book would have been far more powerful if it had remained grounded in the real world. Instead Twyman took off on X-Files-like expeditions to redefine all history, all religion and the cosmos itself. It is perhaps a sign of my own intellectual limitations, but she lost me on all of those expeditions. I find no evidence and no excuse for them.

[Lucas · Rating 3 out of 5]

A well researched look into the Merovingian claims, unfortunately the author makes a few lamentable mistakes that completely undermine her already far reaching hypothesis.

[Jeff · Rating 3 out of 5]

It almost reads as a Clift Notes version of HBHG with a new twist on satanic apologists at the end.
