The Rowling Code


After I finished reading Harry potter, for one day I was in a kind of silent sorrow. It was as if I had been led away from the magical world, I was sad because I won’t be in Hogwarts anymore , I was sad because there would be no Snape who would taunt and tease, no Fred and George to crack a joke and no Dumbledore to instill hope in you.

But then it wasn’t like that...it didn’t have to be like that.......why we have been led away from the magic world.............something's missing......

it was a sweltering afternoon in Karachi and I lay on my couch reading Harry potter 7 when suddenly a thought hit me....I grabbed a notebook and a pencil....
what I wrote ...I am copying it here..

H A L L O W S
R O W L I N G

D E A T H L Y
R O W L I N G

The title Deathly Hallows has 7 words each the writer's last-name ROWLING has also 7 letters and the book is the 7th and the last book of the series

JKR says that 7 is regarded as the most powerful magical number

Harry was born in the 7th month of the year

7 obstacles to reach the Philosopher's stone

7 keyholes in Moody’s trunk.

Then the last page of the 7th book is 607.........has seven "7" in it
There's so much seven in this book....why? I at once sent a message to my friend on Orkut asking him to tell me the significance of 7...he sent me this reply...

"The Seven has had symbolic significance in all early Mediterranean cultures and also in Aryan societies like India and Greece, the significance of the number itself may have evolved from ancient cosmology that was in practice in these ancient societies, Sumerian’s were masters of ancient cosmology and most of the present day standard calendar keeping that is followed in most part of the world can be traced back to the Sumerian's and seven was quite significant for them, it frequently occurs in Sumerian myths.

The Hebrew concept of seven heaven and seven deadly sins may have been borrowed from the Sumerian myths, seven days a week also was probably adopted by the Hebrews from the Sumerian (seventh being a rest day), this was later adopted by all Semitic cultures, and when Christianity spread to Europe it became part of European mythology.

Greeks gave significance to the number seven, they were the first to conceive the seven wonders of the world, so where the ancient Egyptians."

I asked myself did Rowling know that. She might have.....
Could Rowling have included so much seven in her book just as a pointer, as a clue that something is waiting to found in the text.

"Red hair symbolizes sexual energy and that's why red hair women were often suspected as witches"........I was reading a book and was on this sentence when my mind hit on something. Ginny had red hair......and wasn’t Ginny.....as Harry and Ron agreed,” to popular for her own good".....she does seem to have been very active.......and all the Weaselys have red hair and look at the size of their family....7 kids. Red hair symbolizes sexual energy..........hmm did Rowling know that........she might have....

In the sixth Harry Potter book we are given info on Helga hufflepuffs's cup which voldemort has used as a horcrux, now I did a little research and found out that the name Helga is of Scandinavian origin and it means..............guess what.........HOLY ....Helga's Cup...Holy Cup. Could it be .............the Holy Grail...??..I mean just a reference to it??...I mean the cup could have been associated to any wizard, but Rowling relates it to the one wizard whose name means HOLY.....now in the sixth Hp book we’re also told that the cup has some powers attributed it too.....just like the Holy Grail....the more I have researched the more I have become convinced that Rowling has done a vast amount of English and European folklore research while writing Harry potter...........she might have...

I noticed that Rowling has a knack of including those places in her book, which are mostly haunted or have some aura of mystery around them..., take Wiltshire for example where the Malfoy manor is located and which eventually becomes Lord Voldemort's headquarters. and I checked out the significance of Wiltshire and found out a piece of info on it on BBC...there really is a famous mansion in Wiltshire and it burned down and guess what family had amassed, over 175 years, a vast collection of works by great masters such as Poisson and Sir Joshua Reynolds........POUSSIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Has any one read Holy blood holy grail?) Ring any bells???? Could it be a clue an indication of, which side Rowling is pointing at?????... I mean why do these names keep cropping up in all those things she mentions in her books ...Wiltshire is also famous for the Stone Henge...and lots of mysterious and spooky stuff....
I thought why I don’t start a fully fledged research into this......and I dived into it...

I opened Google and googled the word Hangleton

I found out a Hangleton manor which is now a pub. there's a skull in the pubic bar and nearby the pub lies the Stagshead pub.........opposite the manor is a cottage ...interesting isn’t it........it's called rookery cottage....interestingly both are haunted.........did Rowling know about that........ She might have......

The point is Rowling has done much research in her novels and she might have put some clues in her books about something............maybe they could be just fun or maybe they do point out to something. As highlighted in the 7th book which is loaded with symbology...the tale of three brothers is considered by nearly all people as just kid's stuff but Dumbledore believes otherwise and in fact he turns out to be right so could Rowling be giving us a clue here. The whole 7th part was about the resurrection of lost knowledge.

There’s something waiting to be found.....
The Wizard Clue:

Cornelius Agrippa is mentioned in the Hp series on a chocolate frog card....a little research on him would reveal that Agrippa was in fact a famed "magician" who also wrote on occult and esoterica..........the reason I say Rowling shouldn't have included in his name is because he is the author of The Nobility of Female sex and Superiority of Women over Men............now u would think that what’s the big deal?, well the thing is that Rowling's book often depict women doing their traditional roles, house chores and other stuff not in commanding or leading roles ...so here's the confusing part.....why choose to include a wizard who was steeped in cabala and hermetic thought and who wrote a book on female superiority..Isn’t it confusing? I mean Rowling ....as I have shown...and will further show that ....is very much knowledgeable about these things...so she can’t have missed this point....so the point is why include it ...there may be 2 reasons ...
1: she cud have included him just because he was a wizard...
2: or she cud have included him as a clue ....like the other clues which I have shown are in the book. But a Clue to what? Where is she pointing to?
I will explain about this but take a moment to read through this you will see the answer
firstly I would start with some basic firm, and verifiable information:

One: do you know why Rowling made McGonagall’s animagus a CAT….well the reason may be that for centuries it has been folklore in Britain that witches mostly disguised themselves as cats, that is why when they spotted a cat, they refused to talk until it had gone away. Because they thought that, the cat would hear everything they are saying...

Secondly, I think that when Rowling mentioned that aberforth had been apprehended for goat charming. It struck me as obvious. Rowling -who has put pagan, Wicca and Celtic all over her novel – could have included this too…ad what it is...let me tell…some of you might know that in Britain there are many legends that the devil often appeared in the form of a goat or a ram, and mostly the devil has been shown to possess feet and the horns of a goat and I have read about a legend that in Britain more specifically in Huntley, Aberdeen shire they had a secret cult in which the devil came in the form of a goat or a ram and all those who had to initiated in the cult had to shake hands with him..(If you call that handshaking since it was more like shaking hands with a ram or a goat’s hooves), so smart Mrs. Rowling might have found the idea from there. Alternatively, it may be because the goat was often included in satanic cults.

Then you might have read that in the Quibbler Harry reads that Fudge has had the goblins cooked in pies and Harry seems to feel that that it sounds farfetched. I have an uncovered a legend from Angus Britain that a certain lord brought a giant and a dwarf from Scandinavia and when he returned home, he found out that the dwarf was missing; in the evening, he had a “monster” pie cooked and when he cut open the pie , the dwarf popped out of it . In addition, there are other legends similar to that so we may theorize that Rowling might have derived those ideas from these legends. And you might want to know that the concept of unlucky spectral dogs is also not knew in Britain unlucky K9’s called Black Shucks have been known to bring death and destruction to those who are unfortunate enough to witness them.

So...enough of the preludes let’s get down to business.

Rowling, as I have THEORIZED before, may have included symbols and hidden stuff in her books, and she might have been indicating that to which side her true loyalties lay, sounds a bit snazzy but that may be the case due to the information I have been providing before and the information I am going to provide now.

So, have you heard of the great Papal Inquisition...? Which is now called the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Of which Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was a member (1981-2005) and who is now called Pope Benedict XVI. Anyways I was reading about the papal elections and its procedures struck me as odd because I thought that they looked familiar and just now, my mind raced towards the fourth Harry potter novel The Goblet of Fire. Now I read that the in the papal elections the cardinal cast a vote and throw them in a goblet, cup, vessel, whatever you would like to call. Now it so happens that mostly the cardinals like to vote for themselves but the cardinal who gets support from others can manage to win the papal elections. After the voting has ended the person, who is overseeing the whole process will call out the names from each ballot paper then it would be decided that who got the majority. If there is no result that person (who’s a actually a very senior cardinal) will collect all those ballots in a vessel and then put chemicals in it and then bring it to the chimney and burn the ballots, out of this black smoke comes out, that means that the pope has not been elected, now if the smoke is white then it means that the pope has been elected.
Therefore, what do we have here?

1) Elections in which a cardinal can vote for himself
2) In which ballots are placed in a vessel/goblet
3) The person overseeing the elector calls out the names of the person who has been elected or not
4) The contents are then set on fire and the nature of their smoke tells us whether there is a result or not

Now doesn’t it look a bit similar to the selection procedure of the champions in which you have to cast a ballot in a goblet, where the color of the fire (instead of the smoke) tells you where the result is ready or not and the name of the person how is elected, is called out loud in that very ceremony.
Now why did Rowling have to include this sort of stuff in a “children’s” novel, is she a bit confused because on one hand, she is depicting pagan symbolism in her books and her novels are riddled with British folklore, which incidentally have been discouraged by the clergy! On the other hand, it seems that she is trying to put some religious symbolism as well, so why does she put that. I found the answer soon enough.

It was 1: am and I lay in my bed reading Otto Rahn’s immortal Crusade against the Grail. I was reading about the tortures and sufferings that the papal inquisition had inflicted on the Cathars (supposed Heretics of the 12th, 13th century) suddenly (as has happened with me so often during the course of this investigation [: D]) I was blinded by a flash of reasoning. Hogwarts High Inquisitor (Umbridge), Papal Inquisition both, I found had some similarities.
Both invited people to spy on their friends neighbors, both used torture to bring out confessions (Umbridge tried to whip Fred and George and tried to use the Cruciatus Curse on Harry and regularly used that SPECIAL pen of hers which made scars on the student’s hands.) Both had a network of spies and both were extremely loathed by the general populace. Now another thing that you might interesting is that when the sufferings of the people increased due to the infamous inquisition they formed resistance groups , much like the Dumbledore’s Army and also they were usually caught because of inquisition spies in their ranks sounds familiar doesn’t it.
Therefore, what is Rowling doing here? Firstly, in the goblet of fire, she depicts papal symbolism, parodies, and allegories, now in the next installment she is expressing her contempt of the church’s most ruthless organization, is she also expressing her contempt for the very church she belongs too? Where are we heading? Pagan, Celtic symbology, hidden clues, use of native folklore, using ideas reflecting Cathar and other heretic thought , grail allegories, what’s happening? All I can say that people, the quest is ON. Something fishy is going here and as Rowling has said in her interviews that she has left the rest for others to figure out for themselves, well I will end here by saying that she must have had a reason to say that. There is real mystery on our hands.
The Real Thing?
Ever since I have embarked on the quest for the grail, many curiosities have come across me. The symbology inside Harry potter novels is one such curiosity.
As I have mentioned in my Rowling Code article, I was amazed by the fact that JKR had ventured so far in the English history, history of occult practices and the legends of the grail. I am as much amazed as Harry was in the Shrieking Shack in the 3rd novel when Harry was inwardly marveling the fact that Hermione put so much effort in her class assignment about animagi.
The case is virtually the same here. Rowling has put some tremendous amount of research in her novels and one, only has to marvel at her research.
Before I begin to mention my latest ‘research’ on this topic I would like to say that the legends of the grail have endured the test of time, and they continue to inspire people today. Moreover, if JKR was inspired too by the grail legends and decided to put them in a literary form then this fact is not so surprising. She has thus stepped in the shoes of Wolfram Von EschenBach, Chrétien, and her very own, Beedle the Bard.
Now, I am not interested in her religious leanings, her beliefs etc. but I am interested in the concept of putting grail legends and pagan symbology in a children’s novel. After I finished the Rowling code, article, in which I hypothesized that Rowling, might have put some grail legends and stuff in her novels and they might point out to something. In this second part of Rowling Code, I will put some facts before you people that will provide support to this hypothesis... Be advised that I may be as woefully wrong as “Humphrey Belcher” who thought that that the time was ripe for a cheese cauldron or I may be right, as Harry who believed that the deathly hallows existed.

It was 1 pm noon. I had just logged off Potter Forums, checked some new messages on Orkut, thought about “HER”- felt sad. And was getting ready to watch Kung Foo Panda on my DVD player. I had just inserted the DVD in the player when (yes it is one of those startling EUREKA flashes –again. ) suddenly I realized something. Had I not read something about the Peverells being related to the grail? Ah, yes. But where? I began rummaging in my book CD, and candy wrapper filled drawers and closets browsing through different books and then I found it. There was a little reference about the Peverells that told of a legend that the Peverells were the alleged keepers of the grail, also called the Marian Chalice.
I dashed to my PC opened Google, searched about the Peverells and found the following piece of information.

“Mary Magdalene is also associated with a chalice that may, instead of her jar, is the real Holy Grail of legend. Some scholars contend that Mary’s chalice was part of the Arma Christi, the “Weapons of Christ,” a name for the relics of the Passion that were discovered in Jerusalem where Jesus was supposedly crucified. According to the 5th century historian Olympiodorous, Mary’s Grail, referred to as the Marian Chalice, was discovered by excavators working for the Empress Helena, the mother of King Constantine, as they sifted through the earth in the area of Golgotha, the reputed location of the Crucifixion. After its retrieval the cup was first taken to Constantinople and then to Rome, where it resided until the city was sacked by the Visigoths, at which point it was transferred to a secret location in England, possibly Glastonbury. According to Graham Philips, British author of The Search for the Grail, the Marian Chalice was taken to the English Midlands, where for centuries, as a stone cup made of onyx, it was carefully preserved by the Peverel family of Whittington Castle. Sometime in the mid 19th century, a Peverel descendent transferred the cup to a hidden stone grotto, where it was later found by Walter Langham in the early 20th century and kept by his family. When Philips discovered the location of the Langham family nearly one hundred years later, he also found the onyx vessel. Since then, the jar has been dated by the British Museum and found to be a spice jar used during the first century after Christ.”

Now this was something that I had not come across before. Therefore, I embarked on a search to find more about this. I discovered that the grotto in which the Langham found that cup contained two stone statues. A Lion and an Eagle. In fact, the cup was found inside the statue of the eagle. I said to myself ‘Einsjam you have hit the jack pot.”: D. Why do names and places that have had some affiliation with the grail legends keep cropping up in these novels? Unless JKR herself meant to put those in the books.
As we further research on this we find numerous articles, and quotes from some die hard potter fans, who have felt the same too, but to my knowledge no one has yet realized the grail- potter -Peverel relation , because they mostly focus on the lost feminine thingy.
Before the release of The Deathly Hallows an article appeared on the HP Lexicon, where the writer had put forward some hypothesis about the importance of the word ‘hallows’ in the upcoming novel. He said that in English history there has been a concept of hallows for ages. Tuatha Denaan had six hallows including fish skin belt, shirt, pig bones, etc...Then in the coronation of monarchs, there are four vital objects - scepter, sword, an ampulla of oil, and the crown. Now in the Grail Romances the Fisher King is the guardian of the four hallows. Sword, Spear, Dish, and the Holy Grail (according to the article in the HP lexicon). Now the in the novels there are three hallows, The Elder Wand, Resurrection Stone and the Cloak of Invisibility. Now stones have been of interest to the occult community and some stones that are meteorites are held as sacred too. Although I have no evidence to support this but I have a feeling that the Stone of Resurrection was actually a meteorite. Meteorites have always been given special interest due to their uniqueness. Therefore, unless JKR further clarifies it, I am not so sure about this matter.
So let us return to our Rowling, Grail and Peverel hypothesis. Kindly recall the lines in which I have mentioned that the Peverell chalice was found in the grottoes where there were two statues. A lion and an Eagle. Did Rowling come across this particular legend during her researches? The evidence certainly points out to the theory that she indeed came across this curious legend, because if she had not, then just randomly putting the Peverell name in the story was one hell of a coincidence. The Peverells in Harry potter were the bearers of the three hallows. The Peverells in the real world have been alleged to hold the Holy Grail, which itself is a hallow. Now the question arises that why did she put all those symbols, names, places, objects, etc in her novels which have direct or indirect relationship with the grail legends. The answer may be, that the whole novel was actually based on the grail legends and had a distinct pagan theme, because all through the novels Harry goes though a kind of initiation process, as if he is going to be inducted to a hidden knowledge, much too profound to be given to the ordinary people, and we see that this knowledge is held by a precious few people in the wizarding world. It is like an allegory of real time secret sects with Gnostic elements involved. Death is as much appreciated and welcomed by those hold that knowledge in the wizarding world, as the Cathars, who welcomed death and who curiously share similar philosophy with that of Dumbledore. Further, I would like to add that when I read Beedle the Bard and saw that picture of the Peverell Tomb it reminded me of a Masonic tomb, because of the skull, crossed bone, symbols, etc but the evidence is flimsy and I do not have anything to support it. Although I would really love to know what those words on the tomb mean.
What was JKR thinking when she decided to put that much grail and pagan symbology in her children’s novel? What she was doing could have riveted her most ardent readers. I am not a symbologist, academic, or a professor; I am just a 21 year old who is labeled as an eccentric and a nerd (although I assure you that I am not ), if I can see those symbols and stuff, I wonder what a trained academic would make out of it. The problem is that modern academics have lost the art of – I do not have any words for this - ….looking deeply. They over look these novels knowing that this sort of thing has been done before, centuries back by the grail romanciers. If you ask me that whether I have deciphered the Rowling code, I would tell you that it could not be deciphered. It was already there in an undecoded form, put in her novels by JKR. The main quest was to find out the basis for that code, and I think that I have at least provided some evidence for that basis. It is Gnostic. She is talking, not about the material grail she is talking more about the spiritual grail. She put those grail references just to attract those who could figure out the clues. When we began reading the novel, we were already put on a quest. A quest for Hallows. A Quest for the Grail.


OK! This - I believe- is one of those times where some people would definitely say." I THINK YOU HAVE READ TOO MUCH INTO THIS STUFF"
FROM BULGARIA to Ireland



a few days back I was reading about Tuatha De Danaan... Readers of Rowling Code would of course very well know that Tuatha De Danaan was a kingly tribe of Ireland who had supposedly Jewish roots and who had migrated from Scythia and the Mediterranean to Ireland, they had a concept of Hallows too.
Bulgaria is situated where the ancient Scythians lived and from where the Tuatha De Dannan descended. Now JKR depicts a match between Ireland and Bulgaria. Now if seen from a general perspective this may sound a s a random choosing of teams, but when you look deeply you notice that JKR has a knack of bringing together things which are somehow related to each other historically. The same is the case with this Quidditch Final Depiction. If you keep in mind that the whole novel is about a the grail legends then this event is probably JKR's way of telling history in a hidden manner. Certainly it seems so. One may argue that it was just a random selection of teams but in the context of what I have explained and shown in my previous posts this seems a bit...improbable. The Tuatha De Danaan is related to the Grail legends and there may be a strong possibility that JKR is trying to tell us about the grail legends by bringing different grail legends into a single novel.

People who are interested in this aspect of the novel should also research on this.


Tales of Beedle the ESOTERIC Bard

JKR's tales of Beedle the bard are simple, but enchanting. I believe that one day they would be told with the tales of Cinderella and snow white.

They are magnificent, but at the same time more deeply immersed in esoterica and pagan symbology then others.
There’s no need to tell about the Tales of Three brothers but the tail that struck me the most was the Fountain of Fair Fortune, especially the drawing of the fountain was a symbology heaven. I knew what the symbols represented but I thought that it would be a bit rash to just write all about this stuff and throw it on the net. No I needed confirmation and confirmation I got from the same friend who told me about the significance of the number 7(please see my very first post). After some customary greetings I fired the question directly at him. I asked him about the symbol of omega and the eye and the fountain and the snake around it. He sent me the following information and I am posting it here as it is.



The book of revelations describes God as the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end. Though I think the reference here to the Greek alphabet had more to do with the Greek redactors’ transliteration of the phrase from Hebrew.

The Greek alphabet Omega literally means the Great/big O and is the last alphabet in the Greek Phonology and the symbolism is quite loaded, while it’s the end, it’s also precedes the beginning, hence it’s both the end and the beginning.

However the Symbol of Omega (which is similar to horse shoe or an inverted U) has hoary history and is considered an ancient yonic symbol (symbolizing the female genital). He doesn’t like to use the word pussy It makes its first appearance in recorded history on Mesopotamian clay tablets and is associated with Goddess Ninhursaga, the Sumerian Mother Goddess.

In the later Babylonian periods The Omega symbol(the inverted U)was also associated with Goddess Ishtar, The Babylonian Goddess of Love and fertility(among others),we know the later the day Phoenicians worshiped goddess Ishtar and its possible that the symbol associated with goddess Ishtar traveled from Phoenicians to Hellenes(Greeks owe their alphabets largely to the Phoneticians)

Phoenicians were not the only Semitic people to worship Ishtar, Ishtar was worshiped by ancient Jews(pre Moses monotheism) as Goddess Ashreah(or Goddess Astarte)who was the wife of Yahweh(supreme god of Jews)

Well I thought the omega was more interesting than the eye or quite obvious. Actually that picture of the fountain doesn't ring any bell, but lot of esoterism invoked there.............The first impression that comes to my mind is the Fountain of life. Among the symbols of omega and the Eye, the fountain also seemingly has the symbol of the Eye of Horus (eye of RA).The symbol is placed inside the sarcophagus along with the mummified pharaoh (or whoever is being mummified) to protect him or her in eternal life.

The Fountain of eternal life really. Gospels often described Jesus as the fountain of eternal life. Although the concept of fountain of life, as we understand, is well established in pre Christian Nordic and Celtic cultures of Europe (not to mention Greek and roman)

where is the drawing from?

At that time I didn’t tell him about the source of the drawing.

The symbol of Eye in world religions is extremely popular and its usage in religious iconography and mythology is quite widespread. I have already mentioned about the eye of Horus in Egyptian mythology.
In Hinduism Shiva, one of the three supreme Vedic deities, is the God of destruction(Brahma is the creator and Vishnu the preserver)and when it is time to destroy all creation, he performs the Tandav(cosmic dance) and opens his third eye(called 'Trinetra') which is one his forehead and unleashes a cataclysmic firestorm, that wipes out all creation.
In the Greek Mythology there is the famous myth of Medusa the gorgon, who has such a bewitching eye that anyone who makes and a eye contact is turned into stone. Medusa is however splayed by Greek hero Perseus, who uses his reflecting bronze shield to avoid making eye contact with Medusa and cuts her head off,. Perseus later hands over the head (whose eyes still retain their stone turning powers) to Goddess Athena, who places the head in the middle of her battle shield.
However in the immediate context of the image and its relation to our subject, it is apparently a Masonic symbol. In the drawing there are tow eyes. The one that quite obvious and the one below it, shown as a circle in a triangle. It probably represents the eye in a triangle, a popular Masonic symbol, also called the all seeing eye or the Eye of providence (which is also present in the Great seal of America)
In Christian and Masonic circles the Eye of providence (circle in a triangle) represents the holy trinity (triangle) and God as the center of this trinity (hence the all seeing eye).However the symbol itself may have had older origin. The 'all seeing eye' must have been inspired by the Eye of Horus, which later was called the Eye of RA. Becoming the Egyptian symbol of God.
The Eye of Horus later passed on to Greek Roman and later Christian Iconography, along with the 'Triangle' from the Pyramids.

The Drawing actually seems to represent both Masonic (even Rosicrucian) and alchemist symbology. There is a serpent creeping on the fountain, there is water, the Omega, the all Seeing Eye and perhaps the Eye of Horus.....

Definitely Masonic.

Renaissance artwork and esp. those related to alchemy (and recently Masonic) abound with such iconography. There was a time alchemy was popular in medieval Europe and as such themes began to be represented in paintings, books and even European period coins.



After that I told him that the drawing came from Harry Potter and he was stunned.
MY ADDITION
in the Hebrew tradition, the heavenly Bath-Kol was called the ' daughter of the voice', and the voice (vach or vox) which called from the blackness was said to originate during a female's puberty. So the womb was associated with (coul or call) and Star Fire (which was the lunar extract of The annunaki goddesses of the Mesopotamian times...some academics have theorized that the lunar extract was actually the menstrual extract of the chosen priestesses), and the symbol of serpent was associated with the Word or Logos and when you put it on the fountain of Youth symbol( part of the pagan sacred feminine iconography) it just has the effect of stressing the point and the point is about the 'lost feminine'.
My friends, these are symbols revered by nature worshipers and the symbols that were banned by the church.


The fact is that JKR has included pagan symbols and esoteric alchemical iconography and one can get suspicious that her true motivation about the novels might have come from reading the popular and acclaimed books about the grail, priory of Sion, and free masons. She wasn't doing anything weird. She was just stepping in the shoes of great writers and painters and other people who have told the story of the grail and hidden knowledge and popularized it and inculcated that story in the minds of the people through centuries albeit in a hidden way. And that exactly is the Rowling code my friends.

We are living in an apocalyptic world. Apocalyptic! Both in its true and mistranslated terms. Apocalypse literally means “revelation”, but through the centuries, it has now come to mean death and destruction.

It has been foretold through centuries that truth will be revealed to the whole world. Questions about the purpose of man’s existence will be answered and hidden secrets will be revealed. The orthodoxy has always been afraid of it and thus has successfully managed to corrupt the word “apocalypse” and has branded it to denote something that is associated with turmoil and upheaval.

However, the true apocalypse has been delayed for centuries and this trend is curiously shown in the Deathly Hallows novel. The Hallows could have been shared with the rest of the humanity but they were finally kept secret and eventually lost (the resurrection stone might still be lying somewhere in the Hogwarts grounds forgotten waiting for the next “Peverell” to pick it up). Why was the secret of the hallows not publicized? Why were only Harry, Ron, Hermione, and a precious few people, privy to this explosive information? Doesn’t it sound oddly like the grail story? Allusions and allegories surround the depiction of all the symbols related to the grail. Its message has been passed through storybooks for centuries, oddly the clue for the hallows lay in a wizard fairy tale book.
In addition, the readers of my previous posts will be aware that there are some remarkable parallels between Christian symbology and Harry Potter symbology. Phoenix, Lion, Griffin, death and resurrection, attempts to kill a prophesized messiah by a tyrant etc…are all found in Christian as well as in harry potter symbology. Sometimes JKR even uses symbols and words -from other languages and regions- that are similar to the Christian symbology but have obviously pagan origins. Does she want to tell us here inconspicuously that the Christian symbology has pagan roots?Publish Post

It will be worth noting that the JKR hasn’t written about religion in any form in her novels. Thus, her novels can be termed as secular. Even the Christian events in the novels are depicted as just festivals carrying no religious connotations and the only time she mentions a church or a chapel is when Harry and Hermione go to Harry’s parents’ graves and they hear sounds of the muggles singing carols in the little church (HPDH). So why is there such an absence of religion from her novels? Why is it that the only time she mentions some sort of religion is at once explained away by the presence of muggles? Don’t the wizards have anything to do with religion or is she hiding their beliefs in the form of symbols and allegories that are scattered throughout her books.
It can be safely assumed that her novels throughout carry one major theme- Resurrection. May it be the resurrection or re-appearance of previously thought dead persons, resurrection or re-emergence or re-birth of Voldemort, resurrection or re-vitalization of disbanded groups, resurrection of lost knowledge or the resurrection of Harry after being cursed with avada kedavra etc. and the list goes on and on. So why is there such an emphasis on resurrection?

We have seen that JKR has used resurrection with the symbols of Grail and Jesus. Is she trying to tell us something here albeit discreetly and subtly.

There might be a reason to believe that JKR is trying to tell us that Jesus might have survived crucifixion. Now you might say "How? What? Why? “Well the answer is in one word. EIHWAZ.

Before explaining about eihwaz let me, brief you about some stuff that is relevant to our discussion.

It has been argued for some time that Jesus survived crucifixion. That issue has been a matter of debate among academics and laymen alike. From Christianity to Islam this issue is hotly debated. According to Catholic scholarship, the crucifixion of Jesus occurred around 30 AD. The place where the crucifixion occurred was the property of Joseph of Arimathea (Mathew 27:60), Luke (23:49) states that the crucifixion is seen by people from afar off. Jesus was crucified and then he died quickly on the cross much to amazement of the Roman authorities. But the important thing to note is that why was the body of Jesus given to his relatives by the Roman authorities when it was down in the Roman law books that the a crucified person’s body was never handed over to his relatives and why in the Greek version when Joseph asks for Jesus’ corpse uses the word ‘soma’ –a word that is applied to a living body gets the reply from Pilate who uses the word ‘ptoma’ for Jesus’ body. So Joseph asks for a living body and Pilate gives him a supposedly dead body. (Reference: Holy Blood Holy Grail), why was Joseph asking for a living body when he knew that Jesus was dead unless he knew that he was alive. Pilate being a morally corrupt man would have been susceptible to bribes and it would not a be big surprise that Joseph being a wealthy and an influential person might have paid for the removal of Jesus from the cross. Anyhow, it is improbable that Jesus might have died in a few hours when it normally took three to four days for a man to succumb to death. Jesus was not a physically weak person and the evidence that he died on the cross is flimsy. Moreover, he continues to appear even after crucifixion, talks to his disciples, and even finds time to convert Paul! These appearances were not simple spiritual apparitions, logically speaking he might have as well survived the crucifixion and could have journeyed else where to look for the “Lost Sheep of Israel”.
There have been groups of people who have alleged that Jesus was a mortal person. Some even in Islam maintain that Jesus survived the cross and journeyed eastwards. Throughout the centuries, the secret of Jesus’ mortality has been conveyed subtly to the people. In my previous posts I have been giving the examples of people, artists, etc who were initiated into the secret and who expressed their beliefs through paintings, operas, books etc.
that brings me back to JKR.

JKR has been an amazing writer. The historical detail she has put into her work makes her a kind of Hermione who has put much effort into her homework . References to pagan and Christian symbology make her novels more like a treasure chest of riddles and symbols. Every now and then, you find something that surprises you and makes you look for more. I have never read works like that (then perhaps I am not that well read). I have a mentioned a few of those surprises in my earlier posts and now I am going to share some of them with you.

Earlier I had mentioned the word Eihwaz. Readers of the Harry potter novels might know that the Hermione confused “EHWAZ “with “EIHWAZ” in her O.W.Ls Runes exams. Now I am going to present to you an excerpt from a website, which explains about Eihwaz.

“Modern occult interpreters of these runes tell us that the Eihwaz rune of the Elder Futhark represents the powers of death and regeneration and is associated with the Yew Tree; the longest lived of the European trees, which represented God to the Celts. What is in this rune that would legitimize the traditional interpretation that tells us it stands for death and regeneration?

The symbol for Eihwaz in the Elder Futhark is a modification of the symbol for Teiwaz. The upward pointing arrow is now split in two directions. That is an arrow, which has half pointed upward and half-pointed downward:
The dual nature of the humanity and deity of the One, which would offer regeneration through his death while hanging on the tree, is here symbolized. The half arrow pointing downward is symbolic of his humanity (the earthly, the physical) and the half pointing upward is symbolic of his divinity (the heavenly, the spiritual).”

As the readers of the Rowling Code might know, I have previously explained in my posts that there are some Gnostic (enlightenment and duality related) symbols in the Harry Potter novels. Why does JKR have the knack of putting those strange symbols and words in her novels unless she intends them to be there for a specific reason and as we have seen -and will see more- all these words and symbols have something in common.
Here’s another excerpt about the meaning of Ehwaz:

Magical and divinatory meanings for Ehwaz include horse, journey, process, faithfulness, trust, dependability, transformation, loyalty, dignity, vacations, orderly change, and travel for fun, seeking, driving, and piloting.

In the above-mentioned excerpts, we again come across some familiar words...transformation, seeking, death and regeneration. So often have their variants been used throughout the novel, that it clearly implies that JKR wants us to know something. According to JKR, death is utter final absolute the end. However, in her novels we regularly find people mocking death, faking death, escaping death, cheating death, defying death and doing God knows what to Death. To them one simple fact escapes. You can’t escape Death. However, JKR might be pointing to something else too. She might also be trying to say that there can be confusions regarding the death of people and we might not know for sure that whether a person has died or not as in the case of Worm tail and especially in the case of Harry Potter. Keeping that fact and also the parallels between Jesus and Harry plus all those symbols in mind, we can theorize that JKR in fact wants us to know that Jesus might have survived crucifixion.


So after all my posts where have we gotten so far?
1. Allusions to the Holy Grail
2. Concept of Duality (Gnosticism)
3. Survival of Jesus

Rowling and Count Dracula

Ever since I have embarked on the quest to figure out hidden meaning s inside the HP novels and Mrs. Rowling’s concept behind writing this wonderful story, I have always been amazed at just how much these books continue to hold in them.

Take this recent example. 3 weeks ago, I came across a beautiful hardback of the Bram Stoker classic “Dracula”. I was standing at this dilapidated bookshop, which looked more like a book junk yard where numerous books of many subjects in many shapes, sizes and colors were just literally stacked on flimsy wooden tables and they were all extremely cheap (and I mean extremely cheap). Now this young kid who was working in the shop asked me if wanted to buy something. I asked him how much this Dracula hardback cost, he told me that it was just 20 rupees (I live in Karachi Pakistan and 20 rupees is something like 21 American cents and believe me books here in this part of this world are extremely pricy unless of course you happen to wander into these book junkyards whose proprietors are just about as educated as a Polar Bear).I was taken aback by such a low price though I tried with all my might to hide my look of surprise coupled with glee in case the kid thought that he was not in a fair deal. Therefore, after a few seconds of chitchat about this and that, the deal was closed and I headed home with this beautiful black and red hardback with high quality paper.
So on that very day I began to read this novel and I was on page 335 when I came across the following lines:

“ …’Now let me guard yourself. On your forehead I touch this piece of Sacred Wafer in the name of Father, the son and –‘
There was a was fearful scream which almost froze our hearts to hear. As he had placed the wafer on Mina’s forehead, it had seared it- had burned into the flesh as though it had been a piece of white hot metal. My poor darling’s brain told her the significance of the fact as quickly as her nerves received the pain of it; and the two so overwhelmed her that her overwrought nature had its voice in that dreadful scream. But the words to her thought came quickly…...She wailed out ’Unclean! Unclean! Even the Almighty shuns my polluted flesh! I must bear this mark of shame upon my forehead until the judgment day.’ ”

I stopped right there. It was as if some computer in the back my mind was still working on the Rowling Code. I re read the lines again and noticed an odd similarity between this scene and the fact that before using Harry’s blood, Voldemort could not touch Harry because of the protection of his mother’s sacrifice, was running in his blood. I remembered what happened to Professor Quirrell in HPPS, when he tried to touch Harry. Witnessing this we are led to the conclusion that the protection running in Harry’s blood was holy. Voldemort’s corrupted soul possessing Quirrell could not have touched Harry because he was protected by a sacrifice given by his mother that was holy and its power incomparable. At least we now have some idea that where JKR got the idea of the Voldemort being unable to touch Harry.

However, the story does not end here. As it turns out there was also one thing that both Harry Potter and the Dracula novels share: the idea that you could enter into someone’s mind, and feel that person while you are either sleep, unconscious or hypnotized. Readers of Dracula will know that Mina Harker was bitten by the Dracula and he had made her drink his blood, in a way he had transferred a part of himself into her (once again we are reminded of an eerie similarity with Voldemort’s accidental transfer of a part of his soul into Harry thus making him a Horcrux). Now Mina at certain times of the day when under hypnosis induced sleeps, could venture inside Dracula’s mind, feel him and see through his eyes. This came useful when our heroes in the novels had to track down Dracula. Now here, aren’t we reminded of Harry’s connection with Voldemort? The way, Harry ventures deep into Voldemort’s mind and how he uses this connection to keep track of Voldemort’s plans and helping in saving Mr. Weasley. It might be theorized that JKR got the idea of connecting minds from the Dracula novel.

Now that we have gone through these odd similarities, please take a moment, board my train of thoughts and indulge with me. Jesus sacrificed himself to save humanity and thus, objects associated with Him became Holy. Vampires’ corrupt souls are evil, malicious and they cannot stand the Holy Objects. Now in the same way Harry’s mother sacrificed herself for her son-an act, which in itself is selfless and holy-and thus Voldemort with an evil and deformed soul cannot touch Harry because of the pure soul and the Holy protection residing in Harry. There might be connection between these two stories. All through the novels we regularly come across (and I have shown them) events and incidents that are an allegory of Jesus’ life.

So the question that I ask myself again and again, is that why JKR chose to portray allegories of Jesus’ life all through the novels, coupled with that she gives references to the grail and the “sacred feminine”, pagan legends and symbology. Has she become a part of the Grail-Jesus-Treasure-Magdalene conspiracy theorists? Has she been caught up with these legends. I mean to say that, Yes, she has put in symbols and stuff, but would that might be because of a serious belief and knowledge of the hidden legends, or was she (possibly still be) a fan of the Holy Blood Holy Grail, Da Vinci Code type books. What does she actually believe in? Only time and further research will tell.

Although it’s a hypothesis but I think that, it demands more attention. We must ask ourselves that if the holy grail is merely a fantasy then why is it that so much attention‘s been given to it. Allegories of it have been painted written and performed throughout the centuries. If this was done in the days a gone by men such as Eschen Bach, Chretien, Caravaggio, Rossetti, Wagner then now it’s being done by Ms. Rowling and it looks like that this tradition will keep on continuing. There will be personal ‘apocalypses’ for those who will delve deep into these mysteries and just like the hallows they will forever be kept secret until such time they are fit to released.
