Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection

Yes, and it's interesting when we look at the description of the lance in Holy Grail stories, which we now think that it represents comets:

The Vulgate Cycle (1215-1235) expands the lance’s story significantly. In these texts, the weapon takes on a dual role as both destroyer and healer. The “Estoire del Saint Graal” tells how an angel wounds Josephus (Joseph’s son) with the lance as punishment, but the blood from the lance later heals him.

This cycle also develops the story of how King Pellehan (one version of the Fisher King) received his wound from the lance during the Dolorous Stroke. The Grail Castle Corbenic houses the bleeding weapon, awaiting the coming of a worthy knight who can use it for healing rather than harm.

The Vulgate texts further connect the lance to prophecy—it’s said that the same weapon that wounded the king must also cure him, establishing the quest pattern that Galahad will eventually fulfill.

The Creation of the Waste Land

The immediate result of the Dolorous Stroke creates the Waste Land. When Balin strikes King Pellehan with the lance, the blow causes the castle to collapse around them. The king suffers a blow that won’t heal, but there are constant hints that the weapon that dealt the blow would be the one to heal him, giving significance to its healing properties. In the end, the surrounding countryside becomes barren.

This devastation links the king’s physical condition directly to the health of his land—a concept with roots in Celtic myths where the ruler and realm share a mystical bond. The once-fertile kingdom becomes a blighted wasteland where crops fail, animals die, and people suffer.

This motif of the damaged land echoes medieval fears about failed harvests and famine, while also acting as a metaphor for spiritual emptiness that needs divine intervention to heal.

The weapon that caused the Waste Land becomes the key to restoring fertility and life, creating a narrative of redemption where:
  • What wounds can also heal
  • Suffering leads to eventual restoration
  • Divine punishment contains the seeds of mercy
This duality makes the Bleeding Lance more complex than simply “good” or “evil”—it functions instead as an instrument of divine will that humans must learn to understand properly.


So the same comets that cause destruction can also be a source of renewal via their effect on the electrical charge of the planet.
 
The Bleeding Lance appears throughout Arthurian legends as a mysterious, blood-dripping spear.

The Bleeding Lance exists as a supernatural weapon in Arthurian literature that constantly drips blood from its tip.

Like the Arthurian lance, Luin dripped blood from its tip and held both harmful and helpful qualities.

In Chrétien’s “Perceval” (c. 1180), the Bleeding Lance makes its first literary appearance during the mysterious Grail procession. A youth carries the lance through the Fisher King’s hall as it “bleeds continuously” from its tip, with blood flowing down to the bearer’s hand.

I think I know what this dripping blood is.
