The postmortem disembodiment of a person must be accompanied by the departing entity’s withdrawal not only from our world but also from the Elements.

The ideal of Galahad — the pure man — charted a course in the age of monastic knighthood to new heights of spirit and insight.
It was precisely this ideal that was embraced both by the Albigensians (the Cathars) and, later, by the Templars.
The role of cauldrons and sacred vessels was very great in ancient culture, from the Celtic cauldron of Gundestrup to the cup of the Holy Grail.

The Eddic tales of Ragnarøkr — the final battle between the gods of the second generation and the thurses — include a strange episode: the battle begins with the unconquerable Odin, the Great Aesir, riding straight into the maw of the wolf Fenrir, where he perishes.
The principal work attributed to Honorius is the “Grimoire of Honorius.” The “Manuscript of Honorius” was first printed in Rome between 1628 and 1671. No manuscripts of this text have survived, and the first printed edition appeared only in the 17th century in France. According to Arthur Waite, this book, attributed to the Roman Pope, is a malicious forgery intended to discredit the Catholic Church.
