Journey into Hungary


 My next series of posts will be a rewrite of a stand alone page "Mystical Journey into Hungary."  Quite a few years have passed since that was written and other information has been gained since then.  Now, I'm not a professional writer and my time is very limited.  There are times when I can only write while waiting somewhere in a shopping center.  So additions might be slow in getting posted. 

Back in 2007 my partner and I decided to take a journey into Hungary to further investigate the research that we had conducted.  The journey was to be both, a pilgrimage and a mission.  Firstly, we were to trace her ancient heritage as a royal connection to ancient Mesopotamia, bloodlines descending from her mother and father.  The crucial line was that of her mother having descended from a prince who crossed the Carpathian Mountains and settled his people in the Carpathian Basin, already then occupied by the Arpad bloodlines, an ancient Hungarian people who settled the land around 990 A.D.  In the year 1000 A.D. the people converted to Roman Catholicism, crowning their first Christian king, Istvan, later becoming known as St. Stephen of Hungary by the Christian world.

It is this particular king who served our main focus.  There is much mystery and historical discrepancies concerning him.  We must remember that a country’s history, including important individuals within that country, is usually written by the victors.  For this reason we have two aspects of history: conventional history, and true history.  The historians who we were planning to meet, in this respect, were the true historians, and not the conventional historians who are more intend to keep historical lies and falsifications prevalent.  We know for certain that through the royal line of the Arpad sprung many kings and princesses who became saints within the Catholic Church.  To mention a few, naturally, St. Stephen, St. Laszlo, St. Margit, and St. Eszerbet, who became Germany’s patron saint.  With just these few you can see the importance Hungary played during the medieval era.  Most information surrounding these saints was deliberately supressed during both, the Hapsburg and later Russian communism and their Hungarian occupation during our modern era.  Today, freed from tyranny and communism the people first for knowledge and enlightenment.

This is probably, if not, the most popular image of Saint Margit of Hungary.  The image can also be found on Margit Sziget (Margaret Island), located on the Duna River between Buda and Pest


We had in our possession our research material, other documentation from western Hungarian professors who had escaped Hungary after the 1956 revolution and who, in exile, had the freedom to conduct their research unhindered in the west.  Most importantly we possessed a photograph of the unmistakable ghostly apparition of St. Stephen, a photograph that came to us through mysterious means, having travelled from Hungary, to Tasmania, and then into our hands in the Australian mainland.  The photograph needed to be delivered due to some important anniversary lectures to be held in Budapest concerning this king in 2007.  The photo consisted of the translucent image of king Stephen reaching for his petrified right hand which is housed in the St. Istvan Basilica in Budapest, Hungary. In Hungarian tradition the right hand represented royal kingship and power, and his reaching for it, serves as an indication that he is not pleased with the turmoil and misfortune of the country and has a desire to rule again.   This put our planned journey on a very tight schedule, to be conducted in September of that year, and we would only have ten weeks to complete our journey before having to return to Australia due to other commitments.
