Fresh Batch #62: Augustinian & Franciscan Monasteries of Hidalgo
Colonial Mexico Garnished with Frisian Gravy
Hidalgo is located in east-central Mexico, north of the Valley of Mexico. Epazoyucan, Actopan, Ixmiquilpan are located in the eastern half of Hidalgo. This is a good resource. Epazoyucan was a site sacred to Tlaloc, the Mexican deity of rain and lightning. Fray Jorge de Avila dedicated the monastery to Saint Andrew (San Andrés) in 1540 AD.
Mexico/Hidalgo: Actopan – Convent de San Nicolá
This was constructed in the 1550s-1560s under the supervision of Fray Andrés de Mata and his successor Fray Martín de Acevedo.
I am almost certain that the word friar (fray in Spanish), the Norse Freya/Frija all come from an Alexandria, likely derived Pharoah, which is said to be derived from Phre (sun). Phre in Greek looks like Φρή, or ΦΡΗ, which is pronounced like the word free. The Greek eta (H) is transliterated as E or H in English, but functions like a Latin I (ee). A freemason is a Φρή-mason, who built temples based on the cycles of the heavens and, most importantly, the sun. A Pharoah is a Phre-ro, a friend of the sun (Φρή-רע). Φρή (a value of 608 in gematria) signifies the old cycle of the Neros, which was 608 years, just like the monogram of Bacchus, the Free-Father/Phre-Father, which is ΥΗΣ and also corresponds to the cycle of the Neros when it was believed to be 608 years long. When Latinized, ΥΗΣ became the root of Jesus, ΙΗΣ, which is used by the Jesuits as IHS, who place it in the middle of the sun in their logo.
This, while not an exact chronology, is useful in at least determining the era it was used in, because prior to this there were times when the Neros was believed to be 666 years, 650 years, and even this belief in 608 years was replaced by a more accurate “calculation” of 600 years.
What kind of cap do Jacobins, Freemasons, Mithras, Liberty wear, and many others wear? A Phrygian cap, also known as a liberty cap. Phry is the same root as Phre, the English reader just can’t see it unless he has knowledge of the Greek, then the H/I and subsequent I/Y interchanges are obvious. It should also be noted that the G functions a Y/H in languages like Greek, so Phrygia and Phrygian may both have been pronounced Free-ya and Free-yin, which is basically Freya, or Frija, but if the G is pronounced like it is in the word good, then it’d be similar to alternative forms of the Venus/love equivalent Freya when it is spelled with a K or G, i.e. Frigg, Freke, or Frike.
Phrygia is allegedly a place that existed in the ancient world, but I’m not so sure this is historically accurate. A lot of the locations in this area are named after mythological or astrotheological concepts, so it’s difficult to determine what’s real and what’s integrated into geography at a later time. One of the reasons I continue to push back on this is because of the hijacking of Phoenician-Etruscan-Italian-Celtic culture by Greeks, who rewrote everything to include mythological origins revolving around them rather than the cultures they took them from.
Returning to the Norse, there is a region known as Frisia, but also Friesland, made up of modern day Netherlands and northwestern Germany. I’m sure you know where I’m going with this already, but let’s take a look at what the status quo claims about the name’s etymology.
According to Wiki, the contemporary name for the region stems from the Latin word Frisii; an ethnonym used for a group of tribes in modern-day Northwestern Germany, possibly being a loanword of Proto-Germanic *frisaz, meaning curly, crisp, presumably referring to the hair of the tribesmen. In some areas, the local translation of Frisia is used to refer to another subregion. On the North Frisian islands, for instance, Frisia and Frisians refer to (the inhabitants of) mainland North Frisia. In Saterland Frisian, the term Fräislound specifically refers to Ostfriesland.
During the French occupation of the Netherlands, the name for the Frisian department was Frise. In English, both Frisia and Friesland may be interchangeably used to refer to the region.
The termination of -ia means the land of or country of, i.e., Britannia (land of the Brits), Mauritania (land of the Mauri), etc. Frisia is philologically Phre’s Country, or the land of the Sun, but likely in an aspect of the year that corresponds to Venus, Virgo, springtime, and autumn, thus Freya/Frija, so it’d be Freya’s Country, which would indicate a land of fertility and all the things associated with the goings-on of springtime such as the sowing of seeds and early fruits, as well as with late summer/autumn, when the abundance of what was sown is reaped at the harvest when the sun enters Libra (allegorized as the Scales of Justice held by Lady Liberty, or Virgo). Let’s also not forget the significance of Venus (Venice) and the sea, Mary/Mare (maritime), to the Italians/Venetians/Phoenicians, with Venice being philologically identical to the Greek word Φοινίκη (Phoinike), Phoenix, and the root of Phoenician in various cultures, from the Latin Poeni to the Irish Fenians.
This brings me to Frisland, a phantom Island that only would’ve been reached by mariners. Is it connected to Frisia? It is the same word philologically, with land and -ia serving the same function.
According to Wiki, Frisland, also called Frischlant, Friesland, Frislanda, Frislandia, or Fixland, is a phantom island that appeared on virtually all of the maps of the North Atlantic from the 1560s through the 1660s. Frisland originally may also have been a cartographic approximation of Iceland, but in 1558 the influential Zeno map charted the landmass as an entirely separate island south (or occasionally south-west) of Iceland. The 1693 Vincenzo Coronelli map places it close to Greenland. Frederick J. Pohl identified Frisland with an island he referred to as Fer Island, modern English Fair Isle, an island lying between mainland Shetland and the Orkney islands in his book arguing the case that Henry I Sinclair, Earl of Orkney visited North America.
