In recent months there has been much talk on various websites about an alchemist named Fulcanelli, the Hendaye Cross, a Galactic Superwave, and Mother Shipton’s prophecies. Very little is known about either Fulcanelli or Mother Shipton; we don’t even know if they were real people. But the Hendaye Cross does exist, and as for the Galactic Superwave, that’s probably still just a theory. But it seems all of these subjects are being put together as part of the same theme. And in essence that theme is a warning of global catastrophe.
It appears that the real identity of Fulcanelli remains shrouded in mystery. He is said to have been an alchemist whose name first came to prominence in a French book called The Mystery of the Cathedrals, by Eugene Canseliet and Jean-Julien Champagne, published in 1926. The authors claimed to be disciples of Fulcanelli, and three years later they published another book The Dwellings of the Philosophers that was not as consistent as the previous one, while a further book Finis Gloria Mundi was promised but never published.
THE HENDAYE CROSS
Many people believe that the carvings on the cross are an enigmatic code that, if deciphered correctly, shows a possible future catastrophe for our planet.

Hendaye is a small town on the coast of the Southwest Basque region of France, near the border with Spain. Next to the church of St. Vincent you can find a stone cross which is said to have been built sometime in the 1600s.
The following pictures come from a site page that simply contains the images with their accompanying words:

The Hendaye Cross. This is rather small being only three metres or so high. Fulcanelli described Hendaye a a "small Atlantic village" however on arriving myself and a friend found it to be a bustling tourist town. Much favoured by the French who were on holidays in August.

One Corner of the Hendaye Cross showing the Moon and Star side. the cross was extremely weathered and not in as good condition as the pictures in Fulcanelli's book "The Mystery of the Cathedrals."

From the other side we see the infamous "four A's as well as the sun symbol. Fulcanelli goes into considerable detail of these four A's which he says represent the four ages of man. The four ages are Philosophy, Art, Science and. Religion. We are apparently in the age of Science. I came across many reference to these four ages either in the four beasts of the apocalypse or the four gospels. Hedsel also made note of the four ages of man and refers to ours as the age of iron.
In 1999 a book appeared entitled A Monument to the End of Time, written by Jay Weidner and Vincent Bridges, in which the authors claim to have decoded the monument.

Vincent Bridges has written an extremely good article, headed What the Monument Tells Us, about decoding the monument, and the first few paragraphs read:
Armed with all these clues, its time to look directly at the monument and let it speak for itself. If it is a marker of some future catastrophe, then exactly how does it tell us this? And, even more important, does it tell us when?
At first glance, the monument divides itself into three basic components; the upper cross, the column or pillar and the pedestal base. The upper cross has three symbolic components, the pillar is its own symbol and the base has four symbols for a total of eight symbolic images. We can think of the entire monument as a schematic, exploded view perspective of a single geometrical egg, the philosopher's stone.
The upper cross' three symbolic components are the INRI inscription, the double X's and the oddly broken Latin inscription. These symbols offer us three inter-related meaning systems, which, when taken together, give us the key to understanding the entire process symbolized by the monument.
The pillar offers us a unifying image that cuts across all scales of interpretation. The base's four symbols must be taken as a unit, one in which the order and meaning of the symbolic components are in a constant state of flux, but the nature of the whole is constant. The images are, starting in the east and going counter-clockwise:
1) an eight-rayed star-burst,
2) an oddly shaped half moon/boat with an eye spot marking,
3) an angry sun face with bulging spiral eyes, dumb-bell shaped mouth and prominent chin; the face is surrounded by 16 large spikes and 16 smaller spikes inside a containing outer circle. The sun circle itself is surrounded by four stars, placed in the corners of the rectangle and tilted so that their diagonal axis continues through the center point of the sun face, and 4) an oval that fills the entire space of the rectangle and contains a cross with four A's in it. The A's are unusual, having a sharply angled cross bar nestled in the top angle of each A, rather than the usual horizontal cross bar.

While still on the Sangraal site there is another good article, also by Vincent Bridges, that is well worth the read. It is called The Politics of Secrecy: Fulcanelli and the Secret of the End of Time and it can be read here:
sangraal.com
In this piece he suggests that the:
"Cyclic Cross of Hendaye" was the ultimate expression of "Chilaism" (a belief in the Last Judgement as a literal end of time) as well as a description of the Great Work of Alchemy.
He adds:
…… Morning of the Magicians, by Pauwels and Bergier, became an international bestseller. In many ways, this was the start of the New Age movement and the beginning of the process of obscuring Fulcanelli and his work. This would continue through countless collections of enigmatic events and unsolved mysteries by Colin Wilson and others. The Fulcanelli Phenonmen, published in 1978, compounded the problem and convinced most readers that any mystery having to do with the Cross of Hendaye was simply paranoiac delusion. Perhaps that's what the book was intended to do.
And continues that:
Deciphering the monument's message turned out to be the easy part. Once we had the message our emphasis shifted to finding out what it meant. The monument pointed to a specific time period, the intersection point of several celestial cycles, and we wanted to know exactly why Fulcanelli had described this event as a "double catastrophe" by which the northern hemisphere would be tried by fire. Judgement Day, in other words.
Fulcanelli's use of the word Chilaism gave us a clue. Chilaism is a Gnostic conception of the Christian Last Judgement in which a new existence, a spiritual reality, supercedes our flawed common reality at the extreme end of time. Many scholars (see Pagels and Couliano) consider Chilaism to be the most sophisticated of the many 1st century AD eschatological perspectives.
Having read that I went to my own copies of some of Colin Wilson’s books and found the following references that he made about The Morning of the Magicians in his book entitled The Supernatural (Magpie Books, 1994) ed. Colin Wilson. On pp. 1&2 the opening sentences of the book read:
In Paris in the year 1960 there appeared on the bookstalls a volume with the euphonious title “Le Matin des Magiciens (The Morning of the Magicians)”. The authors were an oddly assorted pair – a flamboyant journalist named Louis Pauwels, and Jacques Bergier, an atomic physicist who was also a practising alchemist. …… To everyone’s astonishment it became a best-beller, running through edition after edition after edition in France. Serious critics were irritated and baffled by its success; they pointed out that the book was merely a series of wild speculations on magic, alchemy, telepathy, prophecy, strange cults, the Great Pyramid, Hitler’s astrologers, the Cabala, flying saucers, and a thousand other topics. This mass of eccentricity was held together by one simple theme: that the world is a stranger and richer place than science is willing to recognise...I had bought “Morning of the Magicians” when it appeared in England in 1963 (under the title “The Dawn of Magic”), but although I enjoyed it, had not taken it too seriously; it struck me as a little too wild and undisciplined. Besides, it was full of errors.
On pp. 6 he writes:
“Morning of the Magicians” had also talked about a ‘new kind of man’, and the possibility that human beings may be about to achieve an ‘awakened state’. The authors had even made the important comment that what is now needed is an Einstein of psychology who can understand the hidden powers of the mind.
And on pp. 504 he says:
…....... as early as 1958, a writer named George Hunt Williamson, had written a book called “Secret Places of the Lion,” in which he declared that visitors from space had landed 18 million years ago, and had dedicated themselves since then to the evolution of mankind. Pauwels and Bergier repeated the suggestion in their “Morning of the Magicians” (1960). The same idea was given popular currency in 1968 in Stanley Kubrick’s film “2001: A Space Odyssey."
At this site, belonging to someone who read and liked the Bridges & Weidner book, you can read a brief essay highlighting the points that they had found the most interesting:
chemtrailcentral.com
Among the points they mention is that Fulcanelli appears to be the last in a line of alchemists going back 6,000 years. And that, based on the deciphered message of the Hendaye Cross, the Northern Hemisphere will be destroyed by fire as part of a double catastrophe to strike the Earth, with its cause coming from space. The writer particularly says:
The enormous outbursts of light energy that come from the galactic core appear to be in sync with different stages of the 25,920-year cycle. For example, the last significant change that overtook planet Earth occurred approximately 13,000 years ago, halfway through the great cycle. At that time, the last Ice Age ended with catastrophic flooding, and, as some suggest, massive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and perhaps a violent displacement of the Earth's crust resulting in a pole shift. Interestingly, recent scientific evidence published by Dr. Paul LaViolette proposes that a massive burst of super wave energy was released from the galactic core approximately 13,000 years ago. Keep in mind that the pendulum of the Great Year has now swung all the way to its opposite side, as we enter the final days of the 25,920-year cycle.
Before finally leaving the topic of the Hendaye Cross there is another article, written in May 2004, which looks mainly at the Venus transits, but also includes the Hendaye Cross and the Mayan 2012 enigma. The article begins with the following:
alternativeapproaches.com
A Once in a Lifetime Event: Time, Mythology and Paradigm Shifts: Back last year, as I was doing research on a very different subject, or so I thought, I came across an account of an expedition to Africa in 1882 to scientifically record the rare Venus transit of the sun. The head of that expedition was the famous astronomer, Antoine D’Abbadie, soon to become the President of the Royal Academy of France and perhaps the person responsible for the mysterious Hendaye Cross, so we might suppose that accurately tracking and timing the event was of the utmost importance, and not just to the scientific community. It was curious that someone connected to a mysterious monument, one that marked the time period of 1992 through 2012 as the season of catastrophe, should also be involved with an astronomical event that points to the same time period. Every 122 or so years, (the pattern is somewhat more complex, as we will see later) the orbit of the planet Venus falls such that twice, eight years apart, Venus passes between our viewpoint on earth and the face of the sun. Precisely observing this event in 1882 allowed the astronomers to accurately forecast the next such pair of transits, in the summers of 2004 and 2012. And the first of those events, something that will be completely unique to those alive at just this moment, is happening on June 8th, 2004, less than three weeks away as this is published. The second transit will be in the summer of 2012, roughly six months away from the end date of the Mayan calendar and the helical alignment of galactic center. This once in a lifetime event, synchronizing with so many other cosmic alignments and portents, gives us a kind of certainty concerning the singular significance of our time.
Towards the end of an article at a different website, in a section entitled Venus and the Tsunami Connection, an author takes a look at the Venus Transits, and the catastrophic affects these appear to have had, and might again have, on the Earth:
darkstar1.co.uk
Thus, we have Venus Transits as well as a Galactic Superwave, and now can perhaps see how these have become part of the whole conundrum. So next we’ll take a very quick look at the Galactic Superwave.
GALACTIC SUPERWAVE
Dr. Paul LaViolette is one of the best-known proponents of the Galactic Superwave theory. Basically, he proposes that cosmic rays from an explosion at the centre of a galaxy can travel far beyond that galaxy and reach into our own Solar System. These explosions happen after very lengthy time gaps, but they could reach the Earth without any warning because they travel at light-speed. At the following link you can read that:
Galactic superwaves are a recent discovery. During the early 60's astronomers began to realize that the massive object that forms the core of our Galaxy (the Milky Way), periodically becomes active.(9) The cores of all spiral galaxies cycle through a similar phase. During its active period, our galactic core spews out a fierce quasar-like barrages of cosmic rays, with a total energy output equal to hundreds of thousands of supernova explosions.(10, 11) In some galaxies these active emissions have been observed to equal the energy from billions of supernova explosions.
Until recently, astronomers believed these eruptions were very
infrequent, occurring every 10 to 100 million years.(10) They also believed the interstellar magnetic fields, in the Galactic nucleus, would trap the emitted particles in spiral orbits causing them to reach the Earth very slowly. (12) For these reasons, many did not believe that Galactic core explosions posed any immediate threat to the Earth.

There are also some who would say that the great earthquake, and resultant tsunami, on 27th December last year may have been exacerbated by a radiation burst hitting the Earth’s upper atmosphere. Such an event can, according to Dr. LaViolette, strip away electrons and cause a powerful electromagnetic pulse.
Another author, James Finn, has recently published a book called Pandora’s Hope. It explores the idea that a previous Galactic Superwave engulfed the Earth in very ancient times. He also believes that there is a strong possibility of another one arriving on 20th/21st March 2006 and, he too, thinks the Hendaye Cross holds a record of the information about this. You can read some more about it at these two links:

I have to add here that I have read Finn’s book, and I find his arguments very intriguing, and even quite compelling.

Lastly, as some researchers are linking Mother Shipton’s prophesies into this whole subject, here’s a look at this renowned witch.
MOTHER SHIPTON
During the reigns of the British monarchs King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I legend has it that in North Yorkshire there lived a prophetess called Mother Shipton. She is said to have been born in a cave next to Knaresborough’s very famous Dropping Well, also known as the Petrifying Well. The well gained its name from a waterfall where the water falls exceptionally slowly; during which process it turns things to stone. It does this by depositing limestone onto the objects, and it works in a very similar way to how stalactites and stalagmites are created; only it does it a great deal faster. To this day people leave items, such as shoes, and hats, and a great many teddy bears, so that they can return one day in the future and see that they have been turned to stone.

She may have been a real person named Ursula Sondyall who, during the height of the 17th Century witch-hunts, and became one of the UK’s most famous witches. During her lifetime her prophecies seemed to be astonishingly precise, and confounded her contemporaries. However, the first written record of any of her prophecies doesn’t appear until 1641 - almost a hundred years after her death. And then, about twenty years later, the author Richard Head wrote a book entitled The Life and Death of Mother Shipton. It is from Head’s book that we get the image of Mother Shipton as an old crone. But it would seem that this was a mostly invented version of her life, although that did not stop a reprint in 1862, edited by an author called Charles Hindley - who later owned up to having invented some of the verses. Unfortunately, it would seem that he wasn’t the only person to have invented verses because many are circulating today that did not originate with Mother Shipton at all. And it would also appear that, as with Nostradamus, people like to ‘read into’ them what simply isn’t there!

Mother Shipton's Prophecies
According to The Encyclopedia of Prophecy, by Omar V. Garrison, "these are the verses that Mother Shipton did write":
And now a word, in uncouth rhyme
Of what shall be in future time.
Then upside down the world shall be
And gold found at the root of tree
All England's sons that plough the land
Shall oft be seen with Book in hand.
The poor shall now great wisdom know
Great houses stand in far-flung vale
All covered o'er with snow and hail.
A carriage without horse will go
Disaster fill the world with woe.
In London, Primrose Hill shall be
In centre hold a Bishop's See
Around the world men's thoughts will fly
Quick as the twinkling of an eye.
And water shall great wonders do
How strange. And yet it shall come true.
Through towering hills proud men shall ride
No horse or ass move by his side.
Beneath the water, men shall walk
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall even talk.
And in the air men shall be seen
In white and black and even green.
A great man then, shall come and go
For prophecy declares it so.
In water, iron, then shall float
As easy as a wooden boat
Gold shall be seen in stream and stone
In land that is yet unknown.
And England shall admit a Jew
You think this strange, but it is true
The Jew that once was held in scorn
Shall of a Christian then be born.
A house of glass shall come to pass
In England. But Alas, alas
A war will follow with the work
Where dwells the Pagan and the Turk.
These states will lock in fiercest strife
And seek to take each other's life.
When North shall thus divide the south
And Eagle build in Lion's mouth
Then tax and blood and cruel war
Shall come to every humble door.
Three times shall lovely sunny France
Be led to play a bloody dance
Before the people shall be free
Three tyrant rulers shall she see.
Three rulers in succession be
Each springs from different dynasty.
Then when the fiercest strife is done
England and France shall be as one.
The British olive shall next then twine
In marriage with a German vine.
Men walk beneath and over streams
Fulfilled shall be their wondrous dreams.
For in those wondrous far off days
The women shall adopt a craze
To dress like men, and trousers wear
And to cut off their locks of hair.
They'll ride astride with brazen brow
As witches do on broomstick now.
And roaring monsters with man atop
Does seem to eat the verdant crop
And men shall fly as birds do now
And give away the horse and plough.
There'll be a sign for all to see
Be sure that it will certain be.
Then love shall die and marriage cease
And nations wane as babes decrease.
And wives shall fondle cats and dogs
And men live much the same as hogs.
In nineteen hundred and twenty six
Build houses light of straw and sticks.
For then shall mighty wars be planned
And fire and sword shall sweep the land.
When pictures seem alive with movements free
When boats like fishes swim beneath the sea,
When men like birds shall scour the sky
Then half the world, deep drenched in blood shall die.
For those who live the century through
In fear and trembling this shall do.
Flee to the mountains and the dens
To bog and forest and wild fens.
For storms will rage and oceans roar
When Gabriel stands on sea and shore
And as he blows his wondrous horn
Old worlds die and new be born.
A fiery Dragon will cross the sky
Six times before this earth shall die
Mankind will tremble and frightened be
For the sixth heralds in this prophecy.
For seven days and seven nights
Man will watch this awesome sight.
The tides will rise beyond their ken
To bite away the shores and then
The mountains will begin to roar
And earthquakes split the plain to shore.
And flooding waters, rushing in
Will flood the lands with such a din
That mankind cowers in muddy fen
And snarls about his fellow men.
He bares his teeth and fights and kills
And secrets food in secret hills
And ugly in his fear, he lies
To kill marauders, thieves and spies.
Man flees in terror from the floods
And kills, and rapes and lies in blood
And spilling blood by mankind's hands
Will stain and bitter many lands.
And when the Dragon's tail is gone,
Man forgets, and smiles, and carries on
To apply himself -- too late, too late
For mankind has earned deserved fate.
His masked smile -- his false grandeur
Will serve the Gods their anger stir.
And they will send the Dragon back
To light the sky -- his tail will crack
Upon the earth and rend the earth
And man shall flee, King, Lord, and serf.
But slowly they are routed out
To seek diminishing water spout
And men will die of thirst before
The oceans rise to mount the shore.
And lands will crack and rend anew
You think it strange. It will come true.
And in some far off distant land
Some men -- oh such a tiny band
Will have to leave their solid mount
And span the earth, those few to count,
Who survives this (unreadable) and then
Begin the human race again.
But not on land already there
But on ocean beds, stark, dry and bare
Not every soul on Earth will die
As the Dragon's tail goes sweeping by.
Not every land on earth will sink
But these will wallow in stench and stink
Of rotting bodies of beast and man
Of vegetation crisped on land.
But the land that rises from the sea
Will be dry and clean and soft and free
Of mankind's dirt and therefore be
The source of man's new dynasty.
And those that live will ever fear
The Dragons tail for many year
But time erases memory
You think it strange. But it will be.
And before the race is built anew
A silver serpent comes to view
And spew out men of like unknown
To mingle with the earth now grown
Cold from its heat and these men can
Enlighten the minds of future man.
To intermingle and show them how
To live and love and thus endow
The children with the second sight.
A natural thing so that they might
Grow graceful, humble and when they do
The Golden Age will start anew.
