Dear Victori,
may I suggest another book? This book changed my life forever. I seriously mean that and I recommend it with caution. The book is:
BLOODLINE OF THE HOLY GRAIL by LAURENCE GARDNER. Mr. 'Sir' Gardner is the current 'prince'(not sure what they call it) of the modern Templars. Now this book is very controversial and very much criticized. But it struck me as more truthful than many other books on the same subject. BUt it is the red pill---you will never be the same again.
The belief that Jesus and Mary Magdalen were married at Cana(water into wine? remember how convoluted the Borg made the explanation of how Jesus had the authority to do that? well if he was the Groom it would have answered the Qs easily!)is very common. Especially in France. The Merovian Dynasty of French monarchs are believed descended from the Sang Real(Royal Bloodline) which is the hidden pun of San Greal(Holy Grail). And the whole grail mythology predates xtianity by thousands of years---it is a fascinating subject.
email me if you have any Qs. I got my copy of 'Bloodline' off ebay for cheap. You might eeven be able to find it in a library. for more gnostic ideas about the Bible and such check out:
