Research feature
It gathers the preserved 2014 article sequence around Pierre Plantard’s tarot images at Rennes-le-Chateau and Rennes-le-Bains, then connects that sequence to the later Venice / Priory-of-Sion follow-on published in 2015. It gives one of the strongest southern-France symbolism threads a clear home here.

Tarot page
The article chain was already strong. The page design lets it feel like a private symbolic theatre, with enough restraint to stay careful with sources while still becoming memorable.
Blackbird, Emperor, Jester, and Popessa create a rare serial rhythm inside the publications trail.
Cards, towers, flame, gendered figures, and alchemy give the page a full symbolic atmosphere.
Plantard stands beside Limoux and Saenz as a major nocturnal thread here.
Record and Context
These articles are enough to show a real internal sequence: first the Blackbird / Empress card, then the Emperor, then the Jester, then the Popessa, followed later by the Venice mystery-video continuation.
The August 8, 2014 article opens the sequence by tying Plantard’s tarot imagery to Rennes-le-Chateau interiors, the Oswald Wirth guide, and explicit alchemical reading.
The August 11, 2014 article keeps the sequence moving through the Emperor image, the tower at Rennes-le-Chateau, and the Crista / flame symbolism that already overlaps with older Sauniere and Limoux themes in the archive.
The August 25, 2014 entry shifts to the Fool / Jester and makes Rennes-le-Bains part of the thread, showing the sequence moving across place as well as symbol.
The September 1, 2014 article extends the sequence into the Popessa / High Priestess figure, the Hautpoul setting, and a female-alchemical reading within the same Rennes-centered world.
The March 18, 2015 Venice article shows that this thread did not end with the 2014 tarot quartet. It re-enters the same symbolic world through objects, books, geometry, and Priory-of-Sion framing.
The sequence helps explain why Rennes-le-Chateau, Limoux, Galamus, Emma Calve, Sauniere, and image-heavy symbolism keep returning across the publications and project pages.
