Some of the world's most profound religious truths are cloaked in the coronation rites of kings. On May 6th 2023, Charles Philip Arthur George, will be coronated King Charles III, King of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. Did you know that beneath all of the pomp and circumstance- the procession, the anointing, the investiture, the presentation of the Crown Jewels (orb, ring, scepter, & crown) and the enthronement- is the world's oldest religious tradition- The Ancient Tradition? In this episode we unravel the mysterious link between kings and the Tree of Life [note the tree decorating King Charles the Great's (King Charlemagne) royal vestments on the cover art for this episode] and the mysterious reason why all kings wield royal scepters.
