Morten St George Theory

[Morten St. George]

Morten, I've retracted your warning since you changed your message right away. Next time you insult someone it will result in a ban though, so.. just don't insult people anymore.

About armadillos, like I said, their defining features are mostly missing. Large front claws, armor divided in bands... I see no reason why it should be preferred over a pangolin or a fanciful lizard, and plenty of reasons to the contrary.

I see no point in continuing to argue about zoology since it plays only a minor role in Morten St. George Theory. The primary tenet of the theory is that, in the late 16th century, the VMS led to the creation of a secret society called the Rose Cross, whose initial objective was to publish some of the VMS recipes.

The Rosicrucian Manifesto (called Fama Fraternitatis) provides a cryptic history of the RC and their first publication (code name Liber M). For those of you who cannot read German, an English translation was published by Thomas Vaughan in 1652. One year earlier, Vaughan published a book on Rosicrucian philosophy in which he included a page of drawings.

In prior posts on this website, I showed how the Rosicrucians incorporated a VMS plant, VMS glyphs, VMS bird symbols, and VMS fleur de lys symbolism into their botanical writings. In this post here, we'll take a quick look at a few of Vaughan's drawings and compare them to VMS drawings.

BIRD'S NEST MOUNTAIN



Vaughan's mountain is missing the bird in the nest but that is only because his nest is at the very top of the page leaving no room for the bird. To let us know that there should be a bird in the nest, Vaughan draws a pair of wings to the right of his mountain.

CELESTIAL THEMES



Moons were normally drawn without light emission in both the VMS and elsewhere, so the single VMS Moon with writing around may have been Vaughan's inspiration. It would take an expert to distinguish VMS stars from Vaughan's stars.

HUNGRY DRAGONS



The VMS creature (left) is biting into a plant leaf and the Vaughan creature (middle) is about to bite into the tail of a dragon. Unlike the VMS drawing, Vaughan’s depicts wings and no hands, so he adds another creature (right) with VMS-like hands and no wings.

ROSIE BEADS



Both drawings depict a youth wearing a long garment and holding a ring of bead-like objects in the left hand.

Other Rosicrucian texts make use of Sephirotic spheres and of writing around concentric centers, both of which find their inspiration in the VMS.

SUMMARY

Early Rosicrucian literature was heavily influenced by the VMS exclusive of the publication of VMS recipes.
