Saint Martin de Thuret

I present the lady of the crusades to you. A black virgin was venerated in Thuret since the seventh crusade, was preached in Le Puy in front of Saint louis and the lords of Thuret. This one dates from the XVIIth century and has being reproduced on the model of the old one. She opens to us the doors of the terapeuthic church of Thuret.

Alain Bouchet wrote:

“It should be known that at all times, medicine -- therapy -- was associated crowned, which was explained very well in old civilizations by the fact why the therapeutist was generally a priest, astronomer and soothsayer; there was thus association between crowned and the therapy. It is thus normal that these crowned or sacrilized top-places were, at the same time, of the places of therapy. Let us not forget that at that time, there was no hospital; so as opposed to what one thinks, therapy was of the energy type good more than physical. One believes to have discovered, during last decades, energy medicines, but they have in fact always existed.
      We have an example of this on the pediment of the church of Thuret with the presence of a majesty or Christ in majesty in its mandorle. It is thus obvious that people of the Middle Ages knew the energy bodies since Christ is placed in a mandorle and that will chakra it -- or centers energy -- heart is opened and clearly shown. This proves well that people of then had a knowledge of the energy centers, and that we did nothing but rediscover this knowledge.
      Therefore, to return from there to your question, why the top-places have do therapeutic virtues? Initially, all the top-places are not healers; some have a crowned aspect -- even if the majority are healers. These places are places of meetings of energies: cosmo-telluric energies on the one hand, electro-telluric energies of the ground as the radioactivity which can enter in line of account, on the other hand, and also cosmic energies which arrive in a place, the whole being generally accompanied by a change by the electromagnetic field of the place. Each place thus presents particular energy data, to which of course comes to be added the chemical composition of the rock, if it is a menhir, or water, if it is about a fountain healer.
      Thus, at the base, we often have raw data which will be activated, by the man, and which will give by the means of the dedication, the ritual or the dedication an active function directed towards such or such type of therapy.“

The building is supplied by a current of water and three crowned networks, and leaves to the west plumb with a capital which accounts for two scratch drinking in the same chalice. Both are found also inside, with differences: outside, they have the feet which rest on the ground and the tail turned to the bottom (the energy of polarity positive and negative turns over to telluric) and inside, on the third southern pillar (separation of telluric and cosmic energies) the birds do not have more the feet touching the ground, their tail rises towards the sky.

Further, we find an ox, but without horns, holding a ball in its mouth.

The animal perhaps a pig, which would be more favourable since the place is an old druidic sanctuary . But the two animals  are telluric, the symbol remains the same one. The ball is, by its form, a  discharger by exellence. They is thus plumb with this sculpture that the network crowned being out of information of the church to turn over to the telluric one.

Another sculpture teach us that maitriser is needed energies to receive the place in all its power: it is the acrobat, the initiate who teach us that we can enter the church to draw energies directly provided that we made our reversal. It holds a mirror which even returns us to us. By contemplating his image, one makes the examination of conscience. And if its own level is sufficient, in all humility, we can pass by the gate of the initiates which is in lower part.

We arrive at the lintel of the southern gate. Christ in majesty in her mandorle, surrounded of the archangels Michel and Gabriel, is represented the right hand blessing and the left holding the closed book. (He is master of energies, two telluric by the fingers turned downwards and three cosmic by those turned upwards.) Its solar plexus is well marked, opened, around whose folded dress presents the outgoing radiant energy flux of the character.

Inside, we fall on the capital from the twisted monkey. It is attached by the neck (throat chakra) to a cord connected to the ground. (bloquage of energies by anchoring with the tellurism alone) the man must open his spiritual part and balance his cosmo-telluric cycles. And for good to render comprehensible to us, the imagiers of the Middle Ages represented energies telluric, heavy, outgoing by the anus of the monkey… Between its legs pushes the arum. It is a purgative plant. (No comment…)

Second interesting capital: Adam and Eve. They are naked and Adam hides the sex of the left hand and is held the throat with the level of Adam's apple of the right-hand side whereas Eve also hides the sex left hand and gives to eat an apple of the right-hand side to the snake. In the medium draws up the tree of knowledge (it should be noted that there are not only one but three of them, if one counts both on each side).

The apple of Eve does not come from the tree since it does not miss any fruit on the branches. On the trees of right-hand side and left, the fruits go down again downwards. (they go down from in top) (three levels of branches, three levels of conscience). The tree of the medium bears its fruits at the end of the branches, therefore accessible to the man. It has of them also three on each side, plus one which Eve.The one who holds there is thus not cosmic but telluric and shows that the fall in the matter implies the need, to live, of the telluric energies, symbolized by the snake.

The original sin is thus the loss of conscience of the subtle worlds that the man will try to find thanks aus fruits to his range.

Another pillar present meeting of two natures of the man, male and female, in the androgynat (right/left, sun/the moon, yin/yang), the man carried out. The following pillar shows the progression, two energies reunified and maitrized go up in nine twists to feed a Celtic cross which bears fruits. The same pillar, on another capital, shows a heron (which can steal but also live on the ground, in mud, the clay of the origins) It holds in its nozzle the snake (wouivre) by the tail, showing that it does not have null fear of it and not as if it wanted to eat it. He is the master.

I would like to thank Sirs Jacques Bonvin and Paul Trilloux for excellence for their study on the church for Thuret.
