Sintra, Quinta da Regaleira


Quinta da Regaleira
The Initiation Wells (AKA initiatic wells or inverted towers) are two wells on the property that better resemble underground towers lined with stairs. These wells never served as water sources. Instead, they were used for ceremonial purposes that included Tarot initiation rites. The tunnels described above connect these wells to one another, in addition to various caves and other monuments located around the park. Of the two wells, the larger one contains a 27-meter spiral staircase with several small landings. The spacing of these landings, combined with the number of steps in the stairs, is linked to Tarot mysticism. The smaller well contains straight stairs that connect a series of ring-shaped floors to one another. This well is also called the 'Unfinished Well'. A structure similar to these wells can be found in the Pozzo di S. Patrizio in Italy. At the bottom of the well there is a compass over a Knights Templar cross, which is said to have been a sign of his Rosicrucianism. Very little is known about how the wells were used and what exactly went on there, though it is clear to see that great effort went into their planning and construction. Wiki.

J. Gafarot club has replied to Xata club"Uma galeria subterrânea com uma escadaria em espiral, sustentada por colunas esculpidas, por onde se desce até ao fundo do poço. A escadaria é constituída por nove patamares separados por lanços de 15 degraus cada um, invocam referências à Divina Comédia de Dante e podem representar os 9 círculos do inferno, do paraíso, ou do purgatório. Segundo os conceituados ocultistas Albert Pike, René Guénon e Manly Palmer Hall é na obra 'A Divina Comédia' que se encontra pela primeira vez exposta a Ordem Rosacruz. No fundo do poço está embutida em mármore, uma rosa dos ventos (estrela de oito pontas: 4 maiores ou cardeais, 4 menores ou colaterais) sobre uma cruz templária, que é o emblema heráldico de Carvalho Monteiro e, simultaneamente, indicativo da Ordem Rosa-cruz.
O poço diz-se iniciático porque se acredita que era usado em rituais de iniciação à maçonaria e a explicação do simbolismo dos mesmos nove patamares diz-se que poderá ser encontrado na obra Conceito Rosacruz do Cosmos.
A simbologia do local está relacionada com a crença que a terra é o útero materno de onde provém a vida, mas também a sepultura para onde voltará. Muitos ritos de iniciação aludem a aspectos do nascimento e morte ligados à terra, ou renascimento.
O poço está ligado por várias galerias ou túneis a outros pontos da quinta, a entrada dos guardiôes, o lago da cascata e o poço imperfeito. Estes túneis, outrora habitados por morcegos afastados pelos muitos turistas que visitam o local, estão cobertos com pedra importada da orla marítima da região de Peniche, pedra que dá a sugestão de um mundo submerso."

J. Gafarot club has replied to William Sutherland clubTentarei coligir o que foi dito num modo compreensível para todos já que, como diz:
" 4 maiores setas ou cardeais, 4 menores ou colaterais sobre uma cruz templária, que é o emblema heráldico de Carvalho Monteiro e, simultaneamente, indicativo da Ordem Rosa-cruz".
Não vejo e não existem 4 estrela MENORES entre as 4 pontas clássicas da Cruz dos Templários, visíveis, castanhas. As "oito" pontas não estão nítidas se é que porventura existem como tal mas penso que este debate está a afastar-se da essencia da questão que a meu ver é: Ignora-se com que fim e por ordem de quem, o poço foi construido. Claro que nada impede que os Rosa Crucianos tenham tido a ver com o poço. Nem nada impede que os místicos do Tarot o tenham adoptado num momento ante ou pós a Free Masonry até agora pouco referidos nestas resumidas opiniões, embora o proprietário da Quinta ainda hoje esteja listado como um Maçon no Brasil, onde ferz fortuna e que estamos agora a enumerar. É um facto que toda a Quinta da Regaleira esteve fortemente ligada à Maçonaria e ao ao misticismo desde a sua concepção/construção por Luigi Manini. Porém e por definição, o misticismo desafia as explicações puramente documentais e/ou racionais tal como as entendemos hoje. Assim sendo não vejo grande sucesso outro que vã glória em tentar com "especialistas reconhecidos" dar um sentido coerente na nossa época a quem no seu jazigo mandou esculpir uma abelha com uma caveira no ventre para referencia do seu jazigo !
Xata club has replied to J. Gafarot clubencontrarás uma foto que as mostra bem.
Quanto ao resto…
J. Gafarot club has replied to Xata clubIt is nice to keep and ongoing discussion/questions and answers with you concerning these two centuries old history details. Hope to show how modern and seemingly " complicated" can be these notions which are long ( you bet ) and well out ef everiday life. Will post you recent pictures which show how many of those 4 or 8 points stars have or had any meaning to the Cresus who payed for the well.
A chacun sa verité - Pirandello was a very good guy, IMHO.
Of course, Ionescu was the king. But he is getting . . .
Have a nice warm summer day.
Please see www.ipernity.com/doc/j.gafarot/38630584/in/album/794312.
All points have the same size. Templars oriented North.
Hope we are done with it now.
Thank you
