In 2023, I walked the Camino in Spain. Later that summer, I also travelled to hike sacred sites in Portugal, France, and England. In 2024, I would return to England and France to learn more about the path I had taken, adding Scotland to my pilgrimage. It was a personal pilgrimage and one that required me to delve into myself and my spiritual path. It was also a pilgrimage to understand the esoteric path of the Camino linked to the Milky Way and to the path of Mary Magdalene, said to have lived and taught in these regions after her time with Yeshua in Egypt.

A pilgrimage starts even before leaving your house. It starts the moment you make the decision. The moment I made the decision, I was visited by angels in my dreams, and information was downloaded to me. The information was so much that I started to organize it into chapters. Pretty soon, I realized that what was taking form was a book. At first, I thought my book was about the path of the masculine and feminine. Yeshua and Mary Magdalene. Many gnostic texts crossed my path. Apocryphal books, books once part of the bible, books found in the Dead Sea Scrolls and in the Nag Hammadi collection, showed up. I was visited by Mary Magdalene, whose energy was so gentle and feminine. I was visited by Uriel, who told me about Noah and his Mesopotamian counterpart. Whenever information came, and then I researched to learn more, I would be amazed!

A spiritual team was guiding me, and I wrote about the masculine and feminine. I felt they were linked to Venus and Mars. I understood Venus’s cycle quite well, but I realized I didn’t understand Mars. When I embarked on understanding Mars from an astrological perspective, I expected that I would find a perfect cycle that explained how Mars and Venus operated together. It was a logical assumption - that had been the case with other planetary cycles in astrology. And I had watched a documentary with Henry Lincoln on Rennes-le-Château and the Venus alignments. I noticed that he had drawn out the Venus pentagram twice, and this made me think there were two pentagrams. I discovered there were. One with Venus and the Sun; the synodic cycle of Venus, and one with Venus, Mars and the Sun; a path that was traced out over 32 years. Mars and Venus had a special rose relationship! And so I went on my trip with this basic information. On my trip, I looked for the rose and the pentagram everywhere, and I found those symbols and the actual flowers lining the entire path. I thought I had figured it all out! Mars and Venus had a cycle that nobody seemed to notice or really talk about.

After my first trip, I sat down to do more research and to further explore the cycle of Mars when I realized that, after a while, its cycle with Venus and the Sun broke down. I was confused. I did more research and discovered that after a while, hundreds of years, the pattern would re-emerge. I wanted to know why. I looked and looked, and it seemed that nobody understood Mars! Mars was the strange planet, the false star, the hopping one. My initial discovery of the pattern of Mars joining with Venus in a rose pattern was nowhere in the literature. And of Mars and its strange behaviour, highly accomplished and well-known astrologers only had to say of it that it had an aberration!

An aberration? What was this aberration? As I mentioned, I could see it in exploring the longer cycles of Venus and Mars. A pattern emerged only to break down in the next century or two, and only to re-emerge again. What was going on? A pattern could not be relied upon. Searching further, I discovered that the Mayan and the Sumerians had come across the same aberration. The Sumerian and Mayan information noted the Mars cycle in great detail. They both had a way of predicting Mars, and then a breakthrough! The Mayan information led me to the Tychos, Simon Shack’s book on the Tychonic system. Simon had taken the Tychonic system and had completed it, updating it with modern information about the binary stars and explaining in detail how exactly Mars worked. I immediately knew he was correct. I knew he was correct because I had been studying the Mars data and recognized the strange pattern, but I didn’t know why. The Tychos gave me the why! Mars behaved as it did because it was in an overlapping orbit with the Sun! I didn’t care if Mars was a moon, a planet or a star; I was just happy to finally understand why it behaved as it did. But this discovery also sent me for a loop! I had been writing for a year under the pretense that I would find a significant astrological relationship with Venus and Mars, and instead, I found a significant relationship with Mars and the Sun. It was then that my spiritual team told me that I needed to forget a year’s worth of writing and pivot to now include the Tychos!

I had so many questions. Why wasn’t it known that Mars and the Sun were in overlapping orbits? How could it not be known? If it was known, why didn’t we, society, know? I also wanted to know what it meant for spirituality and for the pilgrimage path I had been walking. The Tychos had completely shifted my paradigm.

When I returned to France the second time, I decided to watch the Henry Lincoln documentary again. I was staying in the Rennes-Le-Chateau area. I wanted to hear again what he said about the two pentagrams. But in watching it again, I could not find the two pentagrams anywhere. It was as if my guides or my brain had seen something that wasn’t there in order to point me in a direction. While I didn’t see two pentagrams, what I did see this second time was that in describing the cycles of Venus and Mercury, Henry Lincoln had used the Tychonic model of Tycho Brahe. And he had shown the pentagram over the Templar cross, which he did not explain. But this helped me to connect the astrology and the true movement of the planets to the symbols we know and see every day, but are clueless to their meaning. Though I also could not find in my research exactly what they meant, I made linkages to strong possibilities.

I realized that knowledge of our cosmos is likely known and hidden. Henry Lincoln’s documentary led him to write the Holy Blood, Holy Grail books, and the Dan Brown movies also emerged from those books. But at some point later on, Henry Lincoln had become disillusioned and disappointed with his research. It was said that he had been misled and pointed in certain directions to drum up tourism. Half of the locals in the area in France believed this to be true, while many still believed in a deeper connection to Mary Magdalene. I, however, realized that often inversions are put in place to fool or confuse people. But why?

My path, the pilgrimage, led me to realize that understanding the true nature of our solar system and how it works provides a powerful and deepening path to spiritual growth and personal power. And I realized that the Tychos, along with helping us to understand how the solar system works, leads us back to reuniting spirit and science and that in so doing, we can understand that path.

The Path is The Way is my contribution to helping us understand this path from an esoteric, mostly western perspective gathered from my research, from my angelic guidance system and from my travels in Europe and in the West.
