Santa Maria ... Zion? Metamorphosis of a concept

Fundamentals a mistake.




the Temple of Zion, along with San Lorenzo de Vallejo, is a the most important Romanesque monuments Mena Valley, in Burgos Merindades.

In a clearing on a hill, into the small town near Villasana, stands the church of Santa Maria Sion, from which dominate the plains of the valley, the north and the foothills of the impressive Sierra de la Magdalena, in the south.

Zions does not appear in the sources for the history of Castile, because the original documents of the Valle de Mena buildings were destroyed in a fire at the home of Mr. San Pelayo occurred in 1909, suffered the same fate as the files diocese of Burgos in 1812.

.


Therefore, the first specific reference to the temple have, featured in the "Bienandanzas and fortunes" of mid-century XIV, quoting Lope García de Salazar Zions acquired the monastery and all the inheritance of the Casa de Vallejo on grounds of marriage to doña All of Vallejo, whose union would be born Don Juan Lopez de Salazar, successor to the patronage of the temple and erroneously called Abbot of Zion, when in fact it should have been, not the people but of the Order it was based, namely the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Although

local history and eminent scholars claim that Zions Romance belonged to the Templars, and even that that López de Salazar belonged to the Templar Order, there is no documentary confirmation to substantiate any such assertion. On the other hand, no embellishment, even architecture, the temple provides sufficient evidence to enable a solid foundation on which to base such a claim.

.

However, and perhaps the inclusion in the description of the strange reference to Mount Zion proximal without reference to justify such invocation, and the proximity of the Sierra de la Magdalena , defined to the south, and geographic reference, nearest the date of its founding and through the intervention of the Knights Hospitaller Order sanjuanistas in the parcel and the Temple of San Lorenzo de Vallejo (which included the enigmatic and amazing St Pantaleon church Slab), were sufficient for a member of the nobility, the ministerial office finally turned in our political transition, wrote a widely circulated article in which, with the best intention rigor, pointing the location of the Holy Grail in nearby Sierra Saved Bilbao, referring to the legendary "Mont Salvat, with the legend and folklore letter ended up giving the unjustified nature Zions name. ..................................... * * * *
Favored by the postulate that Picasso noted stating that the muses have to wait for work, try to substantiate what, in our view, we understand was and has been the reason and purpose of the ambiguity of his appointment as As is known in the Roman world today.

. Commenting
between us pictures selected for an upcoming exhibition of paintings Romance Specifically we look at a representation of Santa Maria and San Juan belonging to the frescoes in the church of San Miquel de La Seu d'Urgell s. XII, and thus, we find out the thread of Ariadne:
.
....................... -S-Mary ....................... -S-Ions (Sion)
The search for new standards that will take us to consolidate the theory, leaving her safe from a mere anecdotal history led us to another painting of a church of Sant Iscle and Santa Victoria Surp (Lleida) currently in the MNAC .
.


Given that it was syncopate usual, we understand that St. Mary of Zion is "Santa Maria de S. Ioane " which corrobaría the presence and settlement of such parcels of Vallejo, the Hospitaller Order of St. John in the secondary branch of the Camino de Santiago and, ultimately, end up being the beneficiary of a generous donation from Mrs. Endrequina.
................ judge for yourselves. .




understand in this way, it would be convenient to call this temple the Mena Valley, in the Merindades Burgos, on the real and original name:
.......... .................. Santa Maria de San Juan.

About A Woman With Round Face



The tale of the Roman Syrenita

.
.

.

In principle
.
According to Gilgamesh, Holy Book of the archaic Sumerian mythology, the gods emerged in an endless sea and abysmal, representing the original chaos, and Liliht, whose name means "Spirit of the Night" as part of a female of the demigods, was in charge of keeping the doors that separated the spiritual from the physical and earthly. Therefore, as a guide to the wisdom of immortality, was depicted as a beautiful winged maiden at the waist, wearing rings Shem to show that, across the underworld, had past achieved immortality and wisdom of the Tree of Knowledge.
.

....... Burney Relief, 2000-1950 BC. (Wikipendia)

.
Assyrian influence, would eventually eliminate the matriarchy and imposing a religion of male gods to centralize the source for men of royal descent.
.
parallel with the fall of matriarchy, there is the elimination of female priestly power source, the entrenchment of a male only priesthood and alteration and decline of the cult of the goddess Ishtar, which causes the emptying of semi-divine aura of Liliht, who will remain rigid and crowned as "hand of Ishtar" that links the human with the divine mystery, and flanked by an owl, bird Wisdom, but demonized and driven into the desert where you will find harmony between the dragons and the lion, lord of the beasts.
.
Demonology Mesopotamian (Assyrian and Babylonian, par excellence), exercised great influence on Jewish culture, so it is not difficult to understand the deep association with the biblical Sumerian Liliht, who was considered as material created Adam, refused to lie in recumbent posture he demanded ("why should I lie beneath you?") and, after delivering the forbidden and magical name of God, "elevated" through the air and retreated to the Desert of the Sea Red where she sank into the sea. The downside to the Assyrians as imposed on female archetype Liliht denied by a patriarchal culture, fully settled by the Greeks, who identify lamias (derivation of lasmatu or lilistu) with courtship acompaññantes Persephone and why, as it inhabit the underworld.
.
The Hellenistic interpretation, the Pythagoreans (Plato, Obras Complete 617b) had referred to the sirens as responsible for the movement of the spheres and singing the song of the cosmos, of which emphasized its musical side and were designed as responsible for the souls of the dead wandering to could find the way, why it was frequently represented in sarcophagi from the late s. II.
.
If we consider that in Periégides of Pansanias, recounts the battle of the Muses with their nieces the Sirens to the now standing plucking their feathers and headdress, the Egyptian funerary sirens represented by Ba and, finally, Homer's own account of the island of the sirens, which described as a meadow full of bones devoured men, we understand that from the standpoint of historical and mythological siren would respond to a classical initial figuration capita Bird Girl from the abysmal depths with a clear leading role souls, as Acknowledge the classics from Apollonius of Rhodes, Higinio and to Ovid, that would be taken up in the Etymologies of Isidore of Seville and "In Universe" Rabanus, among many others.
.
But it will be widely distributed in the twelfth Canto oral episode of the Odyssey S. VII a. C., when the evolution occurs in the Homeric concept of sirens. At the time the sirens spiteful look at the rocks were thrown into the sea after his failed seduction the wily Odysseus, the mythological literature makes mutates and becomes fish-like creatures adapted to their new aquatic habitat. Here is a variation on the popular image is born, then,
Sirena-Pez.
.

...........................



. * 's singing Mermaid I



However, from the eleventh century is the time to be producing the final mutation, both formal and symbolic. Through art Carolingian euhemerists process of allegory of classical mythology becomes the main vehicle of religious expression of Romanesque art, and since then, the fish-horn becomes one of the most iconic models used for allegorical purposes of the Church.

.

.

In spire of the church of Sant Pere Galligans (Girona), is represented a siren that rises on its powerful and majestic fish tail. Shown holding a fish in each hand, while keeping the arms raised and separated from the body. Supporting his head and playing mode, it represents a platform on which are carved a star forming a semicircle.

.

.

And in this image is Romanesque, where we see some curious similarities to the ancient representation of the Burney relief:

.

.

Claws Sumerian Lilith mermaid tail unite in forming a new image and Shem rings, representing the transit from one world to another are replaced by fish, animals of the ocean depths and strong psychopomp tradition.

.

.

In this strange and unique image was taken on its positive meaning to suit the Emblemata Mary, and as an upright column appears crowned and majestic, to emphasize its strength and stability that makes it stay in adverse times. "Hanc sed mare inima FORTEM sors beta" (even if storm at sea, she remains strong and unchanged).


* siren broke the adversity, confident in its value
.

The siren is, here, free of connotations and is again tempting carrier the wisdom of the underworld, the place from which to fish tail straightens up to the starry sky, joining the two worlds and figuring as the means of access from one area to another .

.
However, rarely turns out to be this view of medieval siren as being benevolent, because when Christian culture "objectified" women and bent to the will of man educating their minds to be his servant, the moral conception leaning religious perception of the mermaid as a symbol of sin, especially when that single, simple marine limb (Melusine), splits into two for meet the demands imposed by the symmetry (under law) or hermetic symbolism (two way).

.

.

Starting this bifida and ambivalent symbol originates with an intentional change in the direction of the fish psychopomps restrained by the siren.
.
up the fish's position is reversed to get their heads are attached to the tail fins, still standing, but a prelude to division.

.

. .

The symbolism of the importance of the underworld to the demonstration takes a negative connotation, the popular religious folklore regarded as the very tips of the siren to unite these two fish mouths, and, in addition to its strong meaning alchemical are interested in resurrecting the post sinful lust and vanity that gives special impetus to achieving these aims to finish them off by way of subject lines that are scattered as open manes.

.

.

.

.

Thus arose the double-tailed mermaid, a symbol of lust, sin and doom.

....................................


.... The Song of the Siren II
.
.



and parallel However, in the Byzantine world is where there is another great symbolic metamorphosis, which can be seen perfectly in the Byzantine reliquaries or enkolpiones (sX-XI)
.

............................. Pliska (Bulgaria) s. X
.
The siren of the deep, becomes goddess Virgin Mary, who appears in the Platytera back of the cross.
.

.
.

We can see in the apparent skirt of the Virgin, and very clear, as evidenced by a fish tail that stands up to the womb of Mary in the process of fertilization and appears sporting a tiara of three fish as part of the three worlds, heaven, earth and ocean depths, fish psychopomps carrying in his hands.
.
Again, the formal and symbolic mutation, evolution favors a woman interested in a tempting, a mother goddess, planners, and pregnant of Iesus Xhristus (fish).

.

.

.

.

.

.

..

Later that same art, will lead, in the same media, the evolution of the image to a gradual disappearance of the tail of the mermaid-fish variation in fertility, and will rush towards the sign of pregnancy in womb, as a central point.
.

Registration, your name will replace the turban, the fish take on human form, but both of them as the Virgin that memory survives underground level in the path of his body scaly dress. The central point and takes the form of its future manifestation, the Son of God.

.

Finally, in the figuration of the Praying or Byzantine Virgin of the Sign, tiara becomes nimbus of light and the fish he was carrying in his hands in the embodiment of Gabriel and Michael, the archangel who, like the rings of Shem psychopomps or fish, Drivers souls from one area to another.

.

Thus, Liliht of desolation, the lamia Greek, Hebrew Eva, the Hellenic Artemis, the Innanna Iberian and Roman Aphrodite, are lacking in their hands, sensuality and media tools to deliver the bad ( hoops and triangles of Immortality and apple of knowledge) to hold-without changing the generous disposition of his arms-the fruits of redemption through martyrdom Christological on the cross .

.


.

Conclusion:

enkolpión In Byzantine Madonna with the fish and gravel in the back of the cross, is shown as a reference imported and universally mutated two inseparable aspects: light-dark, world-underworld, life and death, beginning and end.

regeneration concept.
.

.
sirens No other representation has been achieved so far, to reach the attraction we feel the sculpted inside the Romanesque church of San Pere de Galligans (Girona).
.
normally accustomed to perceive in the world of imaging a variety of symbolic representations that often correspond to the same intention, but all of them, no insist and persist so as to instruct the man in the secret of their complete regeneration.
.
unify in one essence the two opposing natures of which we are made is vital to achieve, and the mermaid Galligans inform us strongly.
.
This admiration we experience after the perception of its message, is what drives us to continue this study based on a fascinating and exclusive representation:
.
.
literal description of that figure, which was set out in "Metamorphosis of a Concept ' - we want to summarize here:
.
The siren solemn attitude is held high on her fish's tail in both hands holding a pair of fish to maintain a balanced position arms reminiscent of the familiar iconography of "praying." His head touches a raised platform with stars carved to simulate his crown.
. After describing
literal image intuit that there is an allegorical reading of the message with a series of perceptions related to the metaphor that are easily understandable: with fish-tail characteristic attribute of the inhabitants of the world below, "the siren starts from the base of capital rising vertically to join their head above ground, the blue field and stars.
.
Undoubtedly, the composition of the character you send your work as a liaison between the groundwater level or lower and the upper or heavenly, the channel that connects the two worlds, similar to the role of the mystic ladder or Jacob linking the underworld with higher or heaven and earth.
.
This concept also refers us to the figure of the Virgin Mary, "considered as the conduit between God and men, according to the relationship that some Fathers applied the symbolism of the ladder and the Blessed Virgin.
.
"This (the Virgin) is the ladder of Jacob, who has twelve steps, between the two sides.
.
The right side is the self-contempt for the love of God, the left side is the contempt of the world for the sake of the Kingdom.
.
For these steps up angels and are higher for men ... "(St. Bernard, Sermo ad Beatam Virginem 4).

.
It is through this moral or theological reading that you can access another step different from the symbol whose message includes a great magnitude. That is a lesson that transcends faiths and cultures because it is rooted in the depths of the human being something that is implicit in nature and that can only be understood under a tight mentality of the symbol, in particular alchemical vision. .

.

( Fulcanelli. Dwellings of the Philosophers "Allegory of Alchemy: -
A seated female figure whose feet rest on the base, with his head touches the celestial sphere, acts as a conduit between the lower level and upper level, subject in both hands the books of knowledge and the staff of the Master
) ****

. Perceiving

siren Galligans upright as a symbol of link which can rise from our state animal (below) to the divine understanding (above), we note that body is composed of a dual nature, two substances in a separate but together, like two sides of a coin or as the personification of atanor alchemy.
.

.
.
The two fish or lions, "in each case", symbolizing the two properties of our matter, sulfur and mercury. It is also "solve et coagula" alchemical necessary to achieve the union of the two principles of the Work. In this process ensures atanor maintained within and steadily, the fire of transformation, which will heat up the fusion of two natures in one of its own.
.
The waist is where the two are qualities of being mixed together, indicating the sacred place where lies the ability to generate form. Is there which gave birth to the pure body will possess a quality that will be very perfect.

. "Sister Sister released, and the child born of mysterious single mother" (MR.IV, 96 ')


. ******

.

Moreover and following the mythical personification of the siren, as we indicated in the previous article that the appearance of a double tail was progressive union came after the end of its tail the fish represented on both sides of the siren.
-
The result after the resulting image was the predominance of a negative message that even a superficial meaning, became highly popular.
'
We prefer to dismiss the latter, as we intend to approach the primitive symbols, with which, thanks to some representations that have endured to this day, we can appeal to the clarity of mind that some artists of yesteryears deployed.
.
A very clear example of this change in what we forked tail in the Gothic-Mudejar coffered Santa Maria de Lliria.

.

http://www.galeon.com/lasanglliria/sang0005.htm

. In the first painting be seen exactly how a woman with a crown of three plumes holds two large fish that are symmetrically addressed. The perception of the composition, although naive, conveys majesty.
.
As to the second image, the heads of the two fish have been completely merged the two tails suggesting a female figure and has no crown, and may not enjoy as active a positive value.

.

This belongs to another size Budapest National Museum, the symbol comes back highly positive. The division of the two fish in their union with the female torso is especially marked visible leaving the central part of the body which exhibits the form of steps, referring to the channel that connects the world and the hidden or visible lower or higher.
-
lobed crown also holding the horn pointed at the celestial sphere is analogous to the tiara of fish in the Marian enkolpión and tiara Mermaid stars Galligans temple.

.
It is precisely in this same temple Galligans-this time in his cloister, which again we find another horn that fills us with awe, both for the beauty of its composition and the subtle message alchemical includes:

.
After the first impression does not seem to be no doubt that this is a regular two-tailed mermaid, but if you look a little better, we note that in reality the oval lines that adorn the beginning of the tails, are the eyes of both fish They are held in the mouth marks the meeting point from where the cylindrical torso.

. is the atanor which gave birth to the incomprehensible mystery that will give way to the birth of light.

.
Lambsprinck also as a good philosopher in the hermetic art, tells us in his "little treatise on the Philosopher's Stone: " ... philosophers commonly say that there are two fish in our sea, the two, indeed, without flesh and bones are boiled in water that is their own. Then leave them the great Ocean (or great work, ie, the first embryo of our stone will be perfect sulfur) that no man can describe. Here is what that philosophers understand this: There are two fish, but the two are but one, two, however, and yet one. " .

******
.

and is always two-tailed siren indicating that perfect symmetry, with the same items from one to the other side, suggesting the balance, the straight path, the middle path.

.

.

The idea of \u200b\u200b"middle way" between the two variables natures often found since ancient times under more appearances schematic.

An example more familiar to us of this intention, we have it in the catacombs of the Christians, whose outline exchanged mermaid figure erected by an anchor.
.
Others see the relationship in some Bible verses that refer to this object as an allegory of hope:
.
"... those who seek a shelter asiéndonos to hope both sure and solid anchor of our soul ..." (Hb 6, 18-19).

www.iespana.es / jesusagrario / catacombs
.

Today anchor is a sign that still persists, because its image is still used in heraldry and church areas, but unfortunately valued under a small aspect of its true meaning:
.

similarity is easily recognizable anchor synthetic siren bifida.

. . .

anchor

But viewed as the hope of a good Christian on arrival at a good "port" is not only that.
.
actually anchor is also associated with the same soul and strength of the symbol is its strength. Your image shows that the anchor is firm and unalterable, as it should be kept soul to the fluctuation of the two tracks (fish).
.

Toledo. Church of San Cipriano

However, we are always surprised to find a nautical symbol on the facade of a church, and more in a city without a port or Tues
.
And is that the anchor, either as a sign of hope or conceived as resonance of the human soul, goes even further, as anchor and Virgin share the same meaning and is in the representation of many churches and demonstrated its iconology.

. . Naively

schematic appears in the doorway of San Millán de Almendres (Burgos) the concept of anchor-virgin.
.
The central character, with hints halo over his head, controls and stabilizes the two invisible forces symbolized by two long fish that emerge from the abyss to be balanced with the central trunk, which fixed, after the event contains.

.

Another example we find a beautiful composition in the tympanum of the Shrine of the Virgen del Mar (Almería). Two dolphins, mercury double witness arise between the waves of the sea, inhiesta, a black Madonna carrying a child.
.
Its symbolism takes us to the manifestation of the occult, the hermaphrodite Venus enclosing the under fermentation, the moist substance, universal spirit of the world. The Alma Mundi.

.

.

Although most current and possibly renewed, the Virgen de la Esperanza en Blanes (Barcelona) still keeps the main attributes that identify it as a receptacle of knowledge tight: on his head the star sign par excellence, the twelve stars or zodiacal belt and under their feet has been set the anchor to argue the contact and control of the Virgin on the deep waters and groundwater, the source and root of all life .
.
balanced position of his arms reminds us of the images above, the Holy Mother-wide event.
.
And this is how the anchor in its covert meaning is linked to the Blessed Virgin, and in particular in their expression of Virgen de la Esperanza, or better understood: the "good hope."
.
A Virgin is the legitimate heir of the woman in Rev.12 Sun, with the moon under her feet and crowned with twelve stars evokes the principle of connection between the world of the unseen and the visible. .


Women in the anguish of giving birth to stars on the scene more mysterious and commentary of Revelation, the secret stronger than reason can not discover.
.
paritura is the Virgo. The fertile female principle in itself, an unequivocal sign of the most authentic source of life, the Cosmic Mother from which life springs from his own creative impulse.
. The force
innate and eternal, evolving with a clear understanding and acceptance of change: the Alma Mundi archaic
pregnant.

Solve and Coagula
Both are operations that are "hand" of that siren, the mixed body of fish and virgin acts of connection between the two natures. Solve and Coagula is not essentially the same operation. A continuous flow of eternal cycle between the two natures, the subtle and material. Therefore, these two operations are represented equally, with the same figure in equilibrium at both ends of the arms of the symbolic scale.
.
And it is the combination of these concepts, at the center point between the natures (Fixed and Volatile) and between operations (Solve and Coagula), where the magical forge exceptional generation of Being, the concept that we call life generation, shape or universe. Perhaps, in the center of atanor, Salt is brewing, resulting from the merger of the two dual natures eternal.
.
And where you said so far has been summed up with great detail in this outstanding figure is found in the Communal Palace Pola (Croatia).

.
We define it as the "missing link" and it see as representations converge characteristics shown above:
.
on its tail erect a column based aqueous perfect ending in the crown of three spades that encircles his head. As fish are subjected testify fully on the fins and tails of their bodies, which, by binding to the Mermaid converge at the point where the show excels pregnant bulge.
.
In this image of a very explicit condenses all of the above schedule and as a visual target's tasks, the siren as a paradigm of mixed body is shown as a symbol of that scale that links the area with superior abysmal, while it is revealed as the only container to cover and contain the two antagonistic forces, whose unification precipitated the state of "good hope" the embryo of the Child Luminoso or Philosopher's Stone by which we know the science of physical regeneration and complete man. Behold, the siren song, able to initiate in the mysteries of who is able to listen and not succumb!
