I've been an errant knight of late and missed my opportunity to engage with Damosel Weston. While the likelihood that the grail emerges from eastern fertility rituals seems slim, I must admit that I'm a bit impressed by the fact that she is able to account for most of the variations of the tale. What do the rest of you think?
Apparently, T.S. Eliot thought her ideas were worthy of a poem on the subject. Through his textual references and annotations, it is clear that the Fisher King, Parsifal, and even the Chapel Perilous make appearances, but is this nearly indecipherable poem really about the grail? It seems to me unlikely.
And finally, what are we to make of the Baigent clan? They see Wolfram's text as the key to much of the grail secrets that might threaten Christian orthodoxy. How about you? Are you threatened?
