Grail: The Celtic Origins of the Sacred Icon

by Jean Markale Author

This delves into the origins of the Grail, revealing its deep Celtic roots beneath later Christian interpretations. It highlights the Quest as a universal symbol of spiritual seeking, where the Grail represents a marvelous and elusive object tied to personal transformation. While often associated with divine grace, alchemy, or Arthurian legend, its original focus was the journey itself rather than the object. By analyzing medieval versions of the myth, the work uncovers the Grail’s true meaning within Celtic spirituality, which has influenced Western thought for centuries. It also examines how the Knights Templar, Alchemy, and Catharism contributed to the evolution of these legends, shaping broader mystical traditions.
