Part 1 - "Hand in hand with Ouroboros on the trail of Fleur de lis / Sketches on the topic in the stream of consciousness"
Part 2 - "On the trail of Clovis and Fleur de lis"
Remember, I promised to tell you about the mystical footprint of frogs, to which, when parsing with the heraldic symbol fleur de lis, I was led out by the banners of the Frankish king Clovis and streams of consciousness? About the cosmoplanetary level, are things almost fantastic? Having signed a contract with Ouroboros, I will try to fulfill my promise. True, I'll start a little from afar, with a little prelude, so that diving with him under the arm does not become too dizzying … And so that those who have just joined would understand what this is about.
Overture
Who, having even the slightest relation to the beautiful and mysterious, did not have a sweet heart at the thought and look at medieval castles? What could be more exciting than these giants, as if magically grown from stone on rocky cliffs, steep hills, towering over valleys or the sea surf?
1. England. Cornwall. Mount. St. Michaels Castle.
2. Germany. Baden-Württemberg. Honau. Lichtenstein Castle.

That is why, as I mentioned earlier, I started my own big study of the stellar fiorts and castles of Europe, starting, naturally, according to the list, with the letter "A", and, therefore, with Austria … Google Planet, Wikipedia, Yandex Search and numerous articles of the same kind, inspired by the thirst for knowledge, to help me.
Magnificent Austria
Meticulous scanning in Google Earth of a part of the land occupied by Austria, with an area of 83.8 thousand square meters. km., inspired many different thoughts, including sad ones, on the topic: this is where, in fact, the true land of victorious communism … (At least, when viewed from a satellite). Completely communes, farmsteads and communities among greenery, in greenery, with perfectly adjusted communications of everything and everyone. No infill development. Multi-storey ghettos.
3. Typical Austrian landscape.
4. Upper Austria. Bad Goisern. District of Gmunden. Oz. Hallstatter.
Of the major cities - only the capital city of Vienna, bathing in foliage, flowers and herbs of numerous parks, squares, palace complexes. About one and a half million inhabitants. Another 5 middle-class towns, as they say, barely a hundred thousand residents: Graz, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt am Wörthersee. And of the remaining 82 towns listed in the list, [Cities of Austria] by our, Russian, standards, most are drawn only to urban settlements, because the number of settlers fluctuates around ten thousand … Needless to say, these small settlements are drowning in the green among the wonderful landscapes? Even the smallest commune or fair community, with a population of less than a thousand inhabitants, has its own coat of arms, often ancient, carrying surprising, unusual information.
At the same time, 88 out of 2150 (4%) of all the coats of arms of Austrian fairground communities, towns and communes have fleur de lis on their shield!
Coats of arms of Austrian towns and fairgrounds: 5- Kollerschlag. 6- Gumpendorf. 7- Fidorf. 8- Adlwang. 9- Kaltenberg. 10- Frankenmarkt. 11- Afritz am See.
And so on … 77 more points … Large and small.
Ay, well done, Austrians!
The secret of the coats of arms of small villages of the Volgograd region
In native land, as far as we all know, not every village even in 6-8 thousand has a coat of arms … Well, perhaps there are stories that again require a separate meticulous investigation, such as Orlovka, Gorodishchensky district, Volgograd region. There are 1360 people living in total. And the coat of arms is for everyone to see! Cities would be lined up to have one! And our village, as it was founded, allegedly in the 1780s. at once a whole bunch of immigrants for 1200 souls, and the whole 19th century - neither add nor subtract, and even today almost the same numbers differ … However, the coat of arms was brought from the distant Oryol region, or they were issued on the spot - a noble one. Judge for yourself. Here you have a royal bird, crowned - an eagle, and crossed swords, and a golden key from a secret door, and a star fiort with five rays … Only a lily, for greater significance, it is not enough to stick somewhere …
12- Coat of arms of the village of Orlovka, Gorodishchensky district, Volgograd region.
Wait, there is no lily ??! And then why am I this Orlovka here, in conversation about fleur de lis, remember? Yes, all because everything is connected with everything, no, no, and it will come back to haunt, as my research has shown, as soon as it has begun. I think there will be a place for both this symbol and this village, in the narrative, once it was brought here by streams of consciousness. In the meantime - just pay tribute to the memory of Rod. My grandfather here, in the battles of Stalingrad, was shell-shocked and captured, from which he escaped three times, showing remarkable ingenuity, strength of spirit and will to win, so that later he would again show himself as a brave warrior in many other battles and during the capture of the invincible star citadel - Koenigsberg. Although his name is carved on the stele near Orlovka, as if he died a heroic death. And it is entered in the Book of Memory in the same capacity. It turns out that he trampled death on death. And he became famous in battles,and restored his good name together with his military rank, and lived a long glorious life. Looking through the places of his military exploits, I just happened to come across such an amusing coat of arms near a small village … When I decided to distract myself a little from collecting information on star forts.
It was not so! And the fiorts never let go. And fleur de liz. You think I'm not following the narrative, as the crazy greyhound is laying circles, much more than necessary, in pursuit of a ball-hare? I follow, I follow. "I have all the moves written down!" (Ilf and Petrov). And I ask you for one more minute of your attention to the coats of arms of the Volgograd region!
In 2012, the Gorodishchensky district, to which Orlovka belongs, supposedly developed a new coat of arms. Lilies are not lilies, but roses, which are often paired with them at the face of the Virgin - here you go! Yes, with such a drawing that the fleur de lis symbol can be traced even without a big stretch.
13. Madonna and Child with Christ, roses and lilies. Artist Carlo Dolci (1616-1687) Florence. 14- Coat of arms of Gorodishchensky district, Volgograd region. 15 - a fragment with three colors, symbolizing the 3 names of the region - Tsaritsyn, Stalingrad, Volgograd. Wikipedia16- Coat of arms of the village of Kamenskoye. 17- fragment with fleur de lis.
Interestingly, in the same Gorodishchensky district, rich in sacred symbols, there is another village with 1350 inhabitants - Kamenskoye. And here you already have a fleur de liz in clear text. No curtsies. And even with the presentation - painfully familiar. Didn't you remember? How is it? Just now, we have examined the heart of Christ on the flag of Quebec from 1848, which preceded the current one, from the year 1948. Such a jug … In modern versions, it is a cook-pot at all..
18- Carillon-Sacré-Cœur - flag of Quebec, used since 1848. 19- fragment. 20-Sacred heart on the doors to Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours. Old Port, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Ah, Ouroboros, Ouroboros, are you playing with your tail again ?!
While from the Stalingrad-Volgograd-Tsaritsyn (Tsaritsyn) Tsar-Tsar free steppe boundaries between the Don and the Volga, Emelka Pugachev waves a pen to us, orders us to bow … Remember the great expanses of the once United Kingdom - a huge state - federation of three by nine states, three by ten kingdoms, bequeaths. Where Muscovy is in the Kingdom of Kingdoms, where both the Don and Volga lands, and North America, apparently, were included, is thirtieth.
Do not believe that a familiar fairy tale from childhood has turned into reality? And then count yourself. Geographic coordinates of Moscow: 55 ° 45 'N; 37 ° 37'E By numerological counting technique: Moscow = (5 + 5 = 10) + (4 + 5 = 9 = 0) + (3 + 7 = 10) + (3 + 7 = 10) = 10,0,10,10
So that! Three-tenth kingdom in a distant state.
Say, in those days when Moscow was being laid, but all the events with the Kingdom of Kingdoms, which are now called Tartaria, took place - there was a completely different count, and the geographical meridians-parallels were called differently? Maybe so. However, in a digital matrix, no matter how you count it, it will still be displayed on the desired number. This is the Universal Law.
But, it's time to return from my grandfather, who glorified himself in battles, and the Russian expanses - again to the Chlodwig-Ludwig, glorified in battles, the first Ludovik. Hand in hand with Ouroboros on the trail of fleur de lis.
And again the legends of Clovis
To begin with, to make it clearer for the reader, I will nevertheless resort to direct quotation and abbreviated retelling of some provisions from the book
"Wonderworking Kings: An Outline of the Supernatural Ideas of Royal Power, Predominantly in France and England" Blok M. Per. with fr. V. A. Milchina. Preface J. Le Goffa. Sci. ed. and after. A. Ya. Gurevich. - M.: School "Languages of Russian culture", 1998. - 712 p. - ISBN 5-7859-0057-2
21. Cover of the book "Wonderworking Kings".
22. Photo of a page from the Book of Hours of 1423, John, Duke of Bedford Book of Hours, British Library, Clovis recevant la fleur de lys, where the old man with the queen, and Clovis / Clovis with the squire, and the angel, and the shield are just visible.
23. Possible version of Clovis's original shield with crescents. By the way, the current coat of arms of the Swiss commune of Oftringen is Oftringen (Zofingen district). 24. Blason_France with Capetians and Bourbons.
According to legend # 1 (remember, she promised to number?), “Apparently composed around 1350 by a monk from the Abbey of Joyenval, in the Diocese of Chartres”: before the decisive battle of two powerful Frankish kings, Clovis from the castle of Montjoy and Conflate from the castle of Conflans, thanks to the persistent prayers-appeals to the Lord of the wife of Clovis, the Christian Clotilde (later, as usual, declared a saint) and the pious old man of the hermit, whom the queen often visited in the Joayenval Hollow, an angel with an azure shield decorated with three golden lilies.
"This coat of arms, - so or approximately so the heavenly messenger said," will bring victory to Clovis. " Returning home and taking advantage of the absence of a spouse:
Hence the war cry of the French in the Middle Ages and the motto of the kings of France “Montjoy Saint-Denis! (Montjoie Saint-Denis!) Having learned the background of the case from his wife, Glorified in battles, of course, he immediately believed,
According to legend # 2, also with a Christian mark, we are not talking about a local battle, albeit near Paris, the future capital of a huge kingdom, and giving a war cry to all French kings, but about a fairly serious battle - the Battle of Tolbiac. Here is what Wikipedia says about it, referring to foreign authors - Dieter Geuenich, Thomas Grünewald, Reinhold Weitz (Redaktion); Verein der Geschichts - und Heimatfreunde des Kreises Euskirchen. [Battle of Tolbiak]
25. Resettlement of the Franks of Clovis in the 5th century. and his battles.
The question I briefly mentioned in the first article: how is it and why is it - the people of the Roman emperor invited to the lands already occupied by "autochthonous, Gallo-Roman Catholic population" - they suddenly began to fight in all directions, we will still leave aside. As well as the one-time refusal not only of the leader, but of all this people from the faith that they adhered to, if they adhered to, whatever the battle was. Under Montjoy, under Tolbiac, or wherever. (Other legends also mention other geographical locations). Certainly - not the first, not the last for this people was the battle, judging by the fact that TI is selling us about him and tea is not beaten off our native lands, on the contrary, it means there is no sacredness … So what such supernatural had to happen, besides dreams and visions, still not clear to whom exactly belonged,in order to highlight the battle, one of many, even if the victory in it was given with great difficulty, even if the vision turned out to be prophetic, but in order to become in your own camp, the camp of the Germanic tribes - renegades, apostates. Faith is FAITH - not bedding. Today I wanted a flower, and tomorrow - a striped one..
Arianism or Paganism?
In connection with this very change of faith, I became curious about a passage in the above quote about Clovis's paganism, despite the fact that all other brothers in blood and sword, according to her, already profess the Christian religion. Even in the part declared by several Ecumenical Councils as heresy, nevertheless. Wrong translation? Or not understanding the difference? Or is everything that is not in the bosom of "Ecumenical" Catholicism - that paganism?
By the way, the question - why the Germanic tribes professed precisely Arianism - is by no means simple and not at all trivial. As well as about Arianism itself (4th-7th centuries), opposed to Nicene Christianity. Especially if you notice the coincidence of numbers, taking into account the attributed thousand years - 7c. and 17th century, and consonance - Arianism-ARIA and Nicene-Nikonian schism. (The Nikonian split of the Russian Orthodox Church, according to TI, is associated with the reform of Patriarch Nikon in the 50-60s of the 17th century). It is worth adding here the link Arius, the disgraced ancestor of Arianism, a Syrian by origin, not just anywhere, but in Pitsunda! [Arianism]
26. From Constantinople to Pitsunda.
And also the teachings of the Socinians, in many respects identical to Arianism, as if suddenly revived after centuries of oblivion in the 16th century, moreover, especially massively, as traditional historians write, in the Commonwealth, Transylvania and - bingo! - in the Germanic lands. [Socinianism]
But we will not get into this theological jungle either, especially because the founder of the anti-Trinitarian movement of the Socinians, the poet and theologian Faustus Socinus (Fausto Paolo Sozzini - 1539-1604), is so surprisingly suited to the role of one of the prototypes of Goethe's Faust, and his surname is so insanely naughty to be accidental - Sotsin-Cosine-Kozini, which, of course, pulls his own not a small ball behind him. Clovis was waiting for us. And fleur de liz.
Let's continue about the Battle of Tolbiak, according to the legend, going on under our tsir 2! So, supposedly, before the victory in this very battle, which means, before the adoption of Christianity of the catholic-Catholic sense, that is, the ecumenical one (from ancient Greek κᾰθολικός - "general, whole"), battle banners, standards and coat of arms Clovis were decorated not with crescents, as according to legend at number 1, but with images of toads. Well, the pagans were highly respected - the Franks are an amphibious creature, more than any other living creature, even if they lived in the forests among the swamps. The magnificent tapestry of the 15th or 16th century, exhibited in Brussels, tells us quite clearly.
We have already mentioned it in the first part of the article. Now let's take a closer look, leaving the balls of legends under other numbers to lie down in the basket for a while, gain strength and astringency.
27. Battle of Tolbiak (La bataille de Tolbiac), 496, tapestry, Brussels. XVI century
28. fragment with heraldic frogs.
So what do we have? All other Frankish and kindred kings, including the Scandinavian Olaf, remained faithful to the ancient symbol for several centuries and continued to habitually paint fat frogs on their shields, standards and banners. And in Clovis, after some kind of sacred victory, acquired, of course, precisely thanks to the patronage of the noble lily, which was demonstrated to him by an angel responsive to prayers, all the toads disappeared at once, forever and irrevocably. The troops and peoples who were accountable to him were exchanged for the Honest Lilies of Despicable Toads. And also the crescents. (The version about crescents, as usual, is postponed for later).
It would seem, from the point of view of the Christian doctrine, drawn from the time of the "invention" of legends, into the times as deep as possible into the unpredictable past - a win-win move and often used. Everything that before Christianity, introduced, by the way, by FIRE AND SWORD, is strange, even, at times, disgusting. Everything that comes after is beautiful, noble and shines.
Mystical frogs
Well, what can I say … I learned a lot about frogs exchanged for lilies, at first I doubted the possibility of a warrior to paint this little animal on the shield. Whether it is a lion, a wolf, an eagle, a unicorn, even a poisonous snake - it is immediately clear with whom you are dealing, and what is better to beware … Personally, before I delved into the topic, it was very difficult to imagine not even a king, a leader of the tribe who would have chosen a toad as his symbol. Unless this is a frog - COCOI (Phyllobates terribilis or Dendrobates altobueyensis), from the skin of which South American Indians collect a deadly poison - batrachotoxin. If you are interested, one representative of these amphibians is able to kill more than 10 people with its poison in just three minutes. But did cocoi frogs or the like lived in Clovis' time in his lands?
In principle, they probably could have lived … Considering that not so long ago, 300-400 years ago, the climate on earth was different … There is a lot of evidence for that … And even in even more ancient times, no one knows what. Numerous mammoths found today in the far north did not eat reindeer lichen alone … However, the official history is still silent about this …
29. Frog - kokoi - golden (terrible) poison dart frog (Phyllobates terribilis or Dendrobates altobueyensis).
Also, suddenly, as a first thought in justifying the frog version, giving it some meaning, various fairy tales come to mind about the beautiful princes and princesses enchanted into a frog, Vasilis the Wise …
It is no coincidence that stories about princes-frogs and princesses-frogs, queens-toads - we find everywhere, in different parts of the world: Hungary, Lithuania, Scotland, Burma, Korea, Germany, England, Russia … [The King of the Frog]
True, they are similar to each other, as if they were written under a carbon copy, which casts some doubts about their nationality, authenticity … But … The tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it … So it is possible that some kind of sacred trace, forgotten knowledge, is encrypted in these tales-legends, it just underwent a serious missionary adjustment, up to the opposite meaning … As it happened with other pre-Christian characters - the Ruler of Fates, the Deity of the Navi world - Koshchur, Mara-MaKosh - the Goddess of Fate, witches and witches … But this is also a big separate topic. For another article.
30. The frog princess. 31. The Frog Prince (the tale of the Brothers Grimm), deutsche mark 32. The Frog Prince (Germany, Bautzen, Heringstasse - Bautzen-Heringstraße).
Everything would be fine, however, in the above tales, the heroes acquired their frog appearance as a result of the manipulations of evil witchcraft forces, and this is hardly a reason for them to be transferred to the coats of arms, shields and banners of valiant warriors in such a transformed form. Although … Who knows … Maybe they were hinting by this - I look simple, but if the spell is dispelled, and I wow. Or even worse!
Mythological Trail - Heket-Heqat
I pull on the thread further … I stretched out. Egyptian trace. So … weighty. With the month, by the way, with its endless rebirths, it is by no means at odds. In ancient Egypt, frogs were considered masculine, and four of the eight most ancient deities - Huh, Nun, Cook and Amon - specifically acted in their image. That is, the four Egyptian primordial gods, it turns out, were with the heads of frogs, and it was they, together with their snake-eaters, in opposition to chaos, who churned our World with their paws, dangling them in the waters of the Nile … And it is they who have since supported its materiality. Oh how! This is the topic ……. It is quite suitable for drawing on a shield, banner, standard …
Well, well, what else is there?
33. Great Hermopolis Ogdoad. 34. Nun is the personifying primitive ocean, Huh is the infinity of space, Cook is darkness, Amon is invisible, air. 35. Heket or Hekit, Yeget, Hekat (Heket - Heqat, other eg. Ḥqt) - in Ancient Egypt, the goddess of fertility, abundance and rebirth; patronized childbirth.
Yet. Living in two elements, the frog, among many peoples, acts as an intermediary between Reality and Navu, an accomplice of rebirths and a giver of otherworldly gifts …
Among the Slavs, it was the frog that was considered an immortal creature: it dried up during drought in layers of silt-clay - added water - came to life. Frozen in the winter in the ice, the sun warmed up, it jumps again! At the expense of mediation between the worlds, everything is also on the surface, just take a closer look. After all, it arises from the water and goes under the water, lives in two worlds. A tadpole in water, in silt (that is, in the underworld), breathes with gills, and the frog itself feels great both in the water and on the grass near a swamp, some other body of water or just in a tropical wet forest (in the earthly kingdom), breathes with its lungs and the surface of the skin.
That is, this amazing creature in a variety of mythological vaults implements mediation between the world of Yavi (earthly, this-worldly) and Navi (underground, other-worldly); is a symbol of the Transition-Birth and amazing metamorphoses; the representative and personification of water, well, and water is eternal, life-giving and has an infinite number of meanings.
The Slavs also considered the croak as the patroness of villages and towns. It is she who pulls out of the water and at night brings various gifts to homes - to whom, what. He brings a child to one house, and some other profit to another house. Thus, the frog was a symbol of fertility, prosperity and wealth both among the ancient Egyptians and among the medieval Slavs, and in the Chinese reflection even today a toad with three coins in its mouth is considered the personification of money.
However, what a powerful symbol is the frog toad! Immortality, metamorphosis, wealth, travel between worlds … The usual heraldic lions and eagles just faded before our eyes, haggard, stand and smoke on the sidelines..
36. A frog at its eggs. 37. Tadpoles. 38. The famous Chinese symbol of income.
And the Egyptian, again, the goddess Heket (Heket-Heqat-ḥqt) is the goddess of fertility, abundance, rebirth and resurrection, thereby simultaneously associated with the afterlife cult and patronizing childbirth, as well as responsible for any addition; CREATING MAN together with God Khnum (it was she who breathed life into the clay carcass) - in the Greek-Roman version - Hecate!
39. Dendara. Ancient Egyptian bas-relief. God Khnum and Goddess Heqat create man 40. Frogs in Myth and Religion XLVII (Illustrations by RW Aristoquakes) Ancient Egypt 41. God Khnum and a man on a very interesting stand, very reminiscent of fleur de liz …
It seems like Hecket is already quite enough to settle on the sofa and feel sad for half a day: what do we know about the world in which we live … It's no joke - Khnum just molded from improvised material, albeit masterfully, maybe even with some cunning, only a figurine that Eternity could lie on some shelf of the Universe, if so, for a minute, think about how any of the thousands of crafts of a skilled potter … I breathed the SOUL into IT, giving the clay homunculus, in fact, the right to move, think, create, reproduce - the toad-headed Hecket! Oh, Lord!.. Just goosebumps.
But Hecate …
The same mysterious Hecate, which is now remembered for the most part only as the goddess of the moon, witchcraft, night mysteries, the mistress of ghosts and beasts, calling out at the crossroads, at night, with a torch … And like everything connected with darkness and chaos, her name alone causing deep inner horror. Mixed with awe..
The same mysterious Hecate that, as it turned out, actually had power over the earth, sea and sky at the beginning of Time, as well as a more universal role as Savior (Soteira), Mother of Angels and soul of the Cosmic World! [The roots of the Liberty statue]
Savior, Mother of Angels and the soul of the Cosmic World! Wow!
So. Stop. What does our fleur de lis have to do with it? In the swampy fogs of the cosmic night, both the figure of Clovis and the frogs painted on the shields and banners melted. The reader loses the thread. The reader requires short theses. Where, when and for how much, and most importantly, how can you quickly use it, where to apply it, and make a profit as soon as possible? Where, when and for how much was the lily image invented, why was it imputed to Clovis, why did he become a sign of the Bourbons, why did all those who knew about the great sacred meaning of frogs agree to part with him? For what?
42. Heraclitus, Democritus, Ecumenical sphere and sign fleur de lis.
Dear ones, honestly, I am not to blame before you! It's all Ouroboros! All questions to him, who sent at me a whole army of their cubs, pretending to be balls and circling in thousands of reflections on a mirror carousel. After all, I myself sincerely believed that I would cover the topic in a short essay-sketch. And she, in the course of movement along the trail of the symbol, suddenly turned out to be so global that there was no way to think about it! Specifically cosmogonic - sewing layers of times, spaces, dimensions … And the essay began to live its own life, eventually developing not even into a story, but into a full-fledged, weighty such novel - a detective story, where until the last page it is not clear who had stolen the necklace ?
For that, everyone who remains a faithful reader, along with me, Ouroboros, Heraclitus and Democritus, will learn a lot of new things. For this I am responsible.
