MYSTICAL MENTORS
ing what it all means but, remembering the admonition of Gonemans, he does not speak, nor ask any question regarding the resplendent vision.
In the morning Perceval awakens to find the castle utterly deserted. As he departs across the open draw- bridge it suddenly closes almost crushing him and his horse. Once outside the castle he has an encounter with a mysterious damsel in the forest. She tells him that the old man on the couch, the host, was actually the fisherman who first directed him to the castle and that he was a king. (bearer of royal blood) She tells Percival that the king had been wounded through the thighs by the lance and the wounds had not healed. She asks him if he witnessed the procession— the sword, the bleed- ing lance, the ‘graal’, the silver platter—and if he asked concerning the meaning of what he saw. When she finds out the Perceval remained silent she drops a bombshell on him. She informs him that had he opened his mouth and asked after the meaning of the grail procession, that the fisherman who was a king, would have been healed of his injuries.
After further wanderings Percival encounters another damsel, only this time she is hideously repulsive. She curses him for not asking after the meaning of the lance and the grail and tells him that because of his silence the king still suffers, strife and conflict prevails and the very land itself is degenerating. Perceval vows to find the grail and redeem himself to which end he subse- quently wanders for five years. As he does so the curse settles over the land, transforming it into a wasteland, and only if Perceval is successful in his quest to recover the lost Grail will the curse be lifted, the king healed, the land restored and peace and harmony prevail.
So unfolds one version of this complex and remark- able story. I have already exceeded my allotted space so allow me to interrupt the narrative until next month, when I shall continue unveiling the deep mysteries behind this extraordinary symbolism. Until then, for you serious students of Esoterica, note that the items of the Grail procession correspond to the 4 suits of the Tarot cards, the four instruments of the Magus and the four elements of Alchemy. Consider that in each case they carry parallel and complementary meanings. Contemplate on the connection of all this to the blood royal. And ponder deeply on the meaning of the white lance dripping blood, the jewel encrusted platter and a Holy Grail too brilliant to look at.
