Stop Press: For a glance at a remarkable (and
hellish) art

2001 there, Joel Byrnes, go to the URL below. The website needs FLASH
plugin to be appreciated, and is rather slow to load, but worth it.
The sound and visual effects are intriguing, and the better your
equipment, the better the effect. Highly recommended -Ed.

Jessie I. Weston, The Quest of the Holy Grail. London, Frank Cass, 1964. Notes: See Richard Cavendish's book; Weston thought that the Grail legend preserved rites and symbols of a secret cult descended from pre-Christian mystery religions, and/or gnostic sects of the Eastern Mediterranean. This view was not accepted in academia. In Cavendish, Appendix II, it is noted that Miss Weston and A. E Waite disputed. Weston's view became part of modern occult lore, and she was close to The Quest Society, which was founded in London in 1909 by G. R. S. Mead, who published translations of Gnostic and Hermetic, and Greaco-Egyptian works, Mead was earlier secretary of Madame Blavatksy, the founder of the Theosophists. The Quest Society believed in a "secret tradition", of wisdom granted by mystery religion, and high magic, in the early Christian world. There was a means of humanity becoming divine. Occultists believed such secret wisdom was known to the Knights Templar, and that the Templars were connected with the inner mystery of the Grail. A. E. Waite wrote on secret tradition, mysticism and the occult.
