Lucifer’s Stone..emerald chalic...Melkor and the Iron Crown...The Cup of Death.. it was being returned from Paris after the fall of Napoleon, revealed that the emerald was green glass.

Kyot the Provençal, claimed the Grail was a stone that fell from Heaven (called lapsit exillis), and had been the abode of the Neutral Angels who took neither side during Lucifer’s rebellion. The stone was said to be green, but of no one specific material. In an obscure account by another author, Lucifer was said to have claimed the emerald and set it in a crown. The crown was destroyed when Lucifer fell to Earth from Heaven. Apparently, the stone had survived. It, being the source of Lucifer’s power over Alchemy, was said to have split into two parts. At first, Lucifer pursued the two fragments of the emerald, but gave up. Then, human beings found them and made them into a tablet and another object which eventually became a cup. The material is assumed to have been emerald, or just simply glass.
The emerald chalice at Genoa was obtained during the Crusades at Caesarea Maritima, and thought to be the Holy Grail. But an accident on the road, while it was being returned from Paris after the fall of Napoleon, revealed that the emerald was green glass. The broken chalice was later found by Nazis during their occupation of Paris, but the chalice were said to have been destroyed during bombings and explosions. There is a museum, I forget where, which actually had the charred pieces of the Genoa chalice. They couldn’t carbon date it though, because of some kind of deterioration.
Account 2. The Emerald Lens
The Roman emperor Nero was near-sighted, so he had an enormous emerald which he used as a glass to view gladiatorial fights. The Romans thought that emeralds were good for the sight, and Nero’s emerald was hollowed out to act as a lens to help him see. Many of the Christians persecuted by him came to think that the emerald was of diabolical origin. It is less commonly believed that the emerald was actually a sacred object to the early Christians, and that Nero’s misuse of it was a deliberate blasphemy, while to the Romans it was seen as just an expensive and inefficient waste. The emerald itself was described as being concave-shaped, and nothing is mentioned of it’s fate. Here is a little of this object’s story on a history page about emperor Nero:
A mysterious plate made of some green material, which legend says is a half of a fragment of an emerald lost by Lucifer when he/she was cast out and fell to Earth (the remaining half is said to have been used to forge the Holy Grail). The Tablet was found, according to the legend, by one of the soldiers of Alexander the Great in a tomb at Ebron, in the hands of the mummy of Hermes Trismegistus, defined as “all alchemists’ father”. The Tablet, also known as Smaragdine Table, Tabula Smaragdina, or The Secret of Hermes, is a text said to reveal the secret of primordial substances and transmutations. It claims to be the work of Hermes Trismegistus (“Hermes the Thrice-Great”), a legendary Egyptian sage or god, variously identified with the Egyptian god Thoth and/or the Greek god Hermes. No one knows what the fate of this object is, since no one has actually seen it since sometime prior to 400 AD, where it was last reported being found in a cave by a man who copied the writings engraved upon the surface of the tablet. The full history of this object is too much to fit here, so here is a link to a site that has the story: Now, here are my thoughts regarding the Emerald of Lucifer: (Speculation, for the most part, but educated speculation, so just bear with me here…)
Theory 1 – If the Legend is True:
If the legend is to be believed, this huge “emerald” belonged to some neutral angels until Lucifer stole it and put it into his/her crown. Lucifer got kicked out of Heaven, the emerald broke in two. Lucifer went looking for it, but gave up, and human beings found them. It was after this time that the two halves of the emerald were made into the Tablet and the Grail by who knows who.
1. The Tablet’s history, unlike the Grail’s, is actually better documented even though the object itself has never been found by archeologists. It is possible that the Tablet is the Philosopher’s Stone of Alchemy, the “Stone which is not a Stone”. Since the legend tells that Lucifer had power over Alchemy through the Emerald, this would be exceedingly likely. It is also possible that it may have been destroyed or reworked into something else in the years since 400 AD, but something of it’s fate can be guessed at in this theory:
2. The Grail’s history can be pieced together, and may tie into the Lens’s as well. Clearly, it was an object of sacred value to early Christians, and it likely was a green glass cup mistaken for the cup of Christ. I say mistaken because Jesus would not have been able to *afford* such a rich cup to drink from. Carpenters back then did not exactly earn a king’s wage, and glasswork like that was rare and costly. But because Jesus was, to his faithful, the King of Kings, to them he would have had only the best. Maybe Nero heard about this object… and in an effort to make Christians even more miserable, had it made into his famous lens. Now let’s say this object was given to Nero and he was told that it was emerald. Since emeralds were both “expensive and inefficient” to treat poor vision Nero’s physicians could have used glass and just told Nero it was emerald, to satisfy the emperor’s extravagant taste. No one knows the fate of this lens, but then we have that green glass chalice appearing at Genoa, so it’s possible that Christians simply reworked Nero’s lens back into a cup again… but this time a more expensive kind of cup: a chalice. This chalice found it’s way into the hands of Napoleon and Hitler before it met destruction in World War II, as documented by some sources. So, this could be a reason why we’ll never find the Holy Grail of the legends. And, since this Grail is more Lucifer’s holy object than Christ’s, that is most likely for the best, and could be the reason so many conquerors and tyrants were drawn to it. This theory makes the fate of the Tablet rather obvious…
3. If the Grail was just green glass and not really emerald, and let us say for argument’s sake the legend of Lucifer was true and the Grail was just one half of a larger object, the other half being the Tablet… then the Tablet would also be made from green glass. It is likely, therefore, the Tablet was broken and that is the reason why the last man to actually see it made a copy of what it said upon it’s surface: to preserve what was lost. Moses had made a new set of Ten Commandments for a similar purpose… because the originals broke. If the Emerald Tablet is Lucifer’s own “Commandments”, you can bet it suffered a similar fate to Moses’ Tablets. It is likely that this is one excuse why the Church had put so many Alchemists to death during the Inquisition and accused them of doing “the Devil’s work”. If they knew the history of the “Philosopher’s Stone”, a.k.a. the Emerald Tablet, it would have, to them, confirmed their worst fears about Alchemy being a “Magic of the Devil”, even though we know Alchemy is just chemistry combined with esoteric philosophy.
4. Is this instead about DNA?
Theory 2 – If the Legend is False:
If the whole legend isn’t true, then someone made both the Grail and the Tablet, and tried to get people to believe that these objects were of divine origin. From this viewpoint, the Grail of Genoa, the Lens of Nero, and the Tablet not only have nothing to do with one another but are by themselves rather common objects compared to more important relics. Since the ruined remnants of the Genoa cup apparently cannot be dated in any kind of truly satisfactory manner, we can *never* know if this old legend is true or false.
1. The Emerald Tablet:
“Here is that which the Priest Sagiyus of Nablus has dictated concerning the entrance of Balinas [Apollonius] into the hidden chamber [Cave of Trophonius?]:
After my entrance into the chamber, where the talisman was set up, I came up to an old man sitting on a golden throne, who was holding an Emerald Tablet in one hand. And behold the following — in Syriac [Assyrian], the primordial language — was written thereon:
1) Here is a true explanation, concerning which there can be no doubt.
2) It attests: As Above, So Below — the work of the miracle of the One.
3) And things have been created from this primal substance through a single act. How wonderful is this work! It is the main principle of the world and is its maintainer.
4) Its father is the Sun and its mother, the Moon.
5) The wind has borne it in its body, and the Earth has nourished it.
6) The father of talismen and the protector of miracles whose powers are perfect, and whose lights are confirmed.
7) A fire becomes Earth, so separate the Earth from the fire, and thereby attain the subtle over the gross, with care and sagacity.
8) It rises from Earth to Heaven, so as to draw the lights of the heights to itself, and descends to the earth; thus within it are the forces of above and below.
9) Thus wilt thou partake of the light of the world, and darkness will flee from thee.
10) This is the force of forces, which overcomes every subtle thing and penetrates into all that is gross.
11) The structure of the microcosm is in accordance with the structure of the macrocosm.
12) And accordingly, the arrangements to follow this road are hidden.
13) And to this, aspired Hermes, who was thrice graced with majestic wisdom.
14) And this is his last book, which he concealed in this chamber.”
“Is Moldavite a Grail Stone? Pieces of the Emerald from the Crown of Lucifer? Moldavite is a heavenly stone that fell approximately 15 million years ago to Earth. It is mostly found in Bohemia near the Austrian Czech border. Some were found in Moravia, Lausitz in Germany and close to Radessen in Austria. The term Moldavite was coined in 1836 by the German curator of the mineralogical collection in the Vlasteneck Museum in Prague Dr. Franz Xaver Maximilian Lippe . The name Moldavite is derived from the German name ‘Moldau’ for the Moldavian river. Around 1826, they were called Bohemian emerald. Moldavite is probably the only tektite made into gemstones because of their coloration and gloss. Moldavite has been used as jewels for kings, “VIP’s” and/or political, social or religious leaders. In Wolfram von Eschenbach’s version of the grail’s legend the Moldavite is considered to be the Grail – the “lapsit exillis” – a green gemstone that fell from heaven out of a crown of an higher ranking angel, Lucifer, after the battle with Archangel Michael.” So, this is why they mistook it for “green glass”! Moldavite looks like emerald, yet resembles green glass in it’s texture and some of it’s properties, such as being more fragile than emerald. This was a great thing to discover about it.
The creepiest thing that links all this to Indiana Jones, is the fact that there exists a Moldavite Crystal Skull. And here is the picture to prove it: The legend is trying to tell us that before it took form as Moldavite, this old stone which fell to Earth from space long ago was part of the elements that make up all of Creation. Part of the universe, in other words. So, if Lucifer is a force of Creation and the Crown is the five elements, then before this angel fell from Heaven he/she must have aided God in the act of Creation! Which is why Alchemy (which reveals this as a secret spiritual truth) was demonized by the Church as “Devil’s Magic” even though it was a good and solid science that formed the basis for modern Chemistry as it is known today. There is a basis for what these alchemists believed about Lucifer, in ancient myths and legends. Apparently, God and Lucifer needed each other in order to create the universe and have everything be in balance. Three examples:
According to Gnosticism, the God of Darkness Yaldabaoth (which derives from the Sumerian Yog-Sothoth and is the origin of the name Yahweh), created all the physical universe; the God of Light (Lucifer) whose name no one dared to speak helped Him by first creating the spiritual universe. Yaldabaoth never saw the God of Light, however, seeing instead His own reflection through the waters of the Abyss in Hell, which served as a barrier between Yaldabaoth’s Heaven and the God of Light’s Heaven. The God of Light grew angry with Him and sent an aspect of itself to cast Yaldabaoth into the Abyss. When this occurred, there was war in Heaven between darkness and light. In the end, the God of Light retreated into the highest Heaven and the God of Darkness laid claim to all of creation. However, he could only claim it physically, since he didn’t make it spiritually. Thusly are peoples’ souls fully immortal, being of the spiritual plane, although Yaldabaoth cursed all flesh to be mortal and die. When Lucifer’s aspect manifested to Yaldabaoth, he/she appeared as in the form of a goddess with the name Sophia (Wisdom). The other names of God given in this account are Sakla and Samael. In Greek tradition, Yaldabaoth was Zeus and Lucifer as Sophia was Athena. The term Philosophy originates from Philosophia: “Love of Sophia” or “Love of Wisdom”. In Gnosticism, this whole legend was the reverse of the Greek myths. Instead of Zeus creating Athena from his head (thought) as a subservient daughter, Lucifer as Sophia created a rebellious God from her Light (Knowledge). It is widely believed that religions that worshiped the male sky gods such as Zeus totally altered the goddess faiths that were older and came before them. (What a twisted web we weave! Samael/Zeus/Sakla are names for Lucifer/Satan.) According to Zoroastrianism, Ahura Mazda (God) cast a shadow from Himself in the beginning of time. This shadow became possessed of it’s own soul and became the God of Light’s brother. Ahura Mazda named the being Ahriman (Lucifer), and together they created everything in the universe. Ahura Mazda created all that was light and good, while Ahriman created all that was dark and evil in order to balance his brother and keep true harmony in Creation. However, once this was done, Ahriman wanted to make everything over in his own image, so Ahura Mazda just gave him his own domain (Hell) to rule over. There, Ahriman created mockeries of all that Ahura Mazda had made above in Heaven, and ever after sought to persuade human hearts to his own cause. This is the only myth that actually tells how and why Hell was first made, and it was not as a prison for the damned but as an abode for a god and all that god’s creations. Ahriman, however, saw Hell as a fancy prison and in several legends is constantly trying to escape from it, into the mortal world. Each time, he is vanquished by a savior who appears to prevent his emergence. Ahura Mazda and Ahriman: According to J.R.R. Tolkien’s created mythology for England, The Silmarillion, from which all of Tolkien’s fiction including The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings derives… Melkor (his name for Lucifer) helped Eru Illuvatar (God) to shape Arda (The Earth) by singing a song of creation along with all the Valar (Angels). At some point, Melkor wanted to shape things his/her own way and Eru countered this with ideas of His own. This is why there is good and evil in the universe. In the end, Melkor was banished to his own domain Utumno, or Hell, and from there he created twisted versions of everything Eru created. It is worth noting that J.R.R. Tolkien mentioned the Crown of Lucifer in the Silmarillion, as Melkor’s Iron Crown in which three sacred Silmaril jewels were placed, which Melkor stole from the beings who had originally created them. In the later myths, the lovers Beren and Luthien stole one of the jewels from Melkor’s crown. Luthien danced for the dark god, causing him to fall asleep. As he slept, she remained by his side while Beren managed to steal the stone.
Note: Tolkien’s Silmarillion was so influential, it even inspired a scene in the movie “Legend”! The princess, Lily, dances before the Lord of Darkness to make him believe she is under his spell while her lover Jack sneaks into his fortress to rescue her. Instead of a jewel, the treasure Jack must steal from the Dark Lord before escaping is the horn of a unicorn. At some point, the Lord of Darkness is cast into the Void, also exactly like in the Silmarillion. Melkor and the Iron Crown: It’s the same story told different throughout history. I imagine it’s partly why the Church declared Gnosticism a heresy in the Middle Ages. But Gnosticism has a point to it: darkness and light cannot exist without the one to define what the other is. For that reason, there cannot be a final victory of the one over the other, since everything in the universe must be in balance. People always think we’ve come a long way, but people still have a long way to go! Anyhow, with the mystery of the Crown solved, we can move on to: The Cup of Death...Apparently, whereas the Cup of Christ would grant you eternal life, the Grail of Lucifer would bestow eternal death. This is a continuation of an old Pagan legend about the twin Cauldrons. There was the Cauldron of Creation which would allow those placed in it to be reborn in a reincarnated body, and then there was the Black Cauldron which would raise only the body of someone as a zombie known as a “Cauldron Born” and sending their soul to the underworld. That duality was depicted very nicely, in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade! Who carved the Emerald Tablet? An old myth regarding the Emerald Tablet is that it was first carved by an evil necromancer named Koeshu of Egypt, who then allowed Hermes to inscribe it with it’s alchemical secrets. Koeshu was probably the famous Egyptian Moon God, Khonshu. The Moon being synonymous with darkness, night, and the art of necromancy, this is most likely the case. Again, we have a duality where something cannot be created without both good and evil getting together to make it balanced. It seems everything in this legend is about cosmic balance.

God’s Emerald Throne in Heaven
I’ll bet somewhere along the line, all this is what inspired the Emerald City in the Oz stories. Wizard: a flawed person who tries to be perfect but ends up making mistakes. Lucifer is like Ozma: once a beautiful queen but now stuck in another form and searching for a way to regain all her lost glory. The idea of Lucifer (bringer of light to man), or Prometheus (bringer of fire to man), tie into KOTCS, with the Interdimensionals bringing knowledge to man. What KOTCS does is take away God, for now it’s the Interdimensionals punishing man, or woman as in the case of Spalko, for demanding too much knowledge. Spalko takes the place of Lucifer (who was cast out of Heaven) or Prometheus (who suffered daily torture as punishment) for her crime of trying to gain knowledge to give to man (i.e., the Soviet regime). With these old myths I’m sure there’s more mileage for Indy, with ancient and powerful intelligence. I’m still thinking Cthulhu and a creepy, mysterious supernatural element for the next movie. Something other than the Interdimensional aliens we saw in KOTCS could cross into Indy’s world, brought forth by cultists dabbling with an Emerald something.
