Pictographic Message of the Hungarian Crest

A crest originally and theoretically all of them, lately practically less and less of them
is a live/living quality. It is an organism rather than a mechanism 1 . Modern heraldry
considers it living, too, though it explains its life phenomenon in different ways from ours
described below. How does this organismness show itself? The left and right side of the
crest does not mean the sides corresponding to the left or right hand
of the person facing the crest, it means the other way round. If we
consider the middle axis of the crest regardless if it has its own
sign or it is there only virtually as the person, the right side of the
crest means his/her right side, the left side of the crest means
his/her left side. Right now this is all we need to know about the
living qualities of the Hungarian crest. But we must know this. This
is how we will understand the messages it keeps sending us
continually and in Hungarian.
Now lets see, what this article is not about. In short: it is not about
what the currently, and beyond any doubt, most popular source of
data, the Wikipedia published in rich and colorful style. That is,
when our Crest came about, whether it was always like this, who
named its parts as it is known nowadays, and so on. We do mention
it, however, that we are not the first ones who try to explain his
system using pictography. The most promising experiment on this
field was done by Gza VARGA. The following thread/contexture will
sure have a few points that will make the attentive reader realize 1. bra - The Crest of Hungary
these rather resemble to points observed by VARGA. However they
will also realize that parallel paths do not always lead to the same results. (And they do not
necessarily originate from the same source.
We base our commentary on the form of the crest we know now. We, meaning us, living
in this country as a whole, not divided into experts, that is not as pragmatic historians or
heraldists telling their professional opinions. Eight Hungarians out of ten supposing
they know anything about the crest at all will describe the crest as follows. (We omit now
the connection with the Holy Crown as later this will be discussed thoroughly)
On the left (he/she uses, of course, not the heraldic terms!) there are the four rivers, on
the right there are the triple hill with the double cross. Lets ask him, which are the four
rivers? Should he/she know, will tell us at once: Duna, Tisza, Drva, Szva2 (and can add,
if he/she likes jokes, the rhyme Trjn ki a lbad szra, i.e. your leg should break). How
about the three hills? Ttra, Mtra, Ftra3. In this very orders, even is he/she knows very
well, that looking at the map, Ttra and Ftra are quite close to one another, and Mtra is
neither between the two nor it is in the vicinity of them. And what about the double cross?
That is a Christian sign. Ok, but why double? Well, how should I know? It is like this.
This is all the well-informed ordinary people will tell you.
Now lets see what the same parts of the crest tell us if we ask them using the language of
pictography. The best results we usually get from the triple hills double cross scheme.
This says that the triple hill, as a hieroglyph, can be found among the ancient
Mesopotamian (Sumerian) signs, its most common meaning is country, land. We, too,
can keep this meaning.

language, where changing one letter may alter not only the meaning but can decide on the meanings quality
(living/non-living)

Trianon Peace Dictate)

The meaning of the double cross by the same authors, including Gza VARGA is
derived from the GY letter of the Sekler-Hungarian runic writing. We need to note at
once, this explanation might seem to be quite unusual, we need to accept this, as
methodologically it is completely correct. Though not following the mentioned authors, but
at the same time and corresponding their views we had the same results. Even, we
know from sources including the authentic reports of the Italian military engineer,
Marsigli that originally all consonants were pronounced adding the vowel e before
them. This practice was so well-known in the 17th century - where this source is dated
that in runic writing all e-s before the consonants were simply omitted, as their
pronunciation was automatic anyway. Therefore, when we see the sign GY / G above the
sign country, this GY must surely be pronounced as eGY (one), when we want to
clarify the original meaning. But
In Hungarian the word eGY / one (we will write it
this way due to methodological concept) was not only
a numeral until lately. For instance, in the word
egyhz (church) 4 it does not meant that there is
only one house in the village. It means holy house,
house of God.
Lets see a more specific example of this usage. If we
suppose that on one of the coffers on the ceiling of the
nlaka (Transylvania, now Rumania) Unitarian
church the runic writing reads eGY az Isten (the God
is One), eGY (one) can be translated in at least in
three different ways. One is, that we consider eGY
(one) a numeral. This means, the God is only one, not
2. bra - Salt cellar made from horn, incised
two, not three, not uncountably lot. But it can be read
as the name of God is eGY (one). This eGY (one) is the God and not Jehova, Buddha,
nor Ahura Mazda and so on. And finally, God is eGY (one), meaning God is Saint, Holy,
even the Holiest and not some profane phenomenon. All three interpretations are
completely correct!
In this context this triple hill with the double cross pictographically reads holy
country, holy land, country of God. If we also take into consideration that the double
cross does not emerge directly from the middle hill but from an open crown placed in this
middle hill, the meaning is extended to holy kingdom (sacred kingdom), kingdom of
God. N.B. the excellent historian, Dezs DMMERTH proved decades earlier that
Hungarian kings, unlike other European kings ruled not on a Gods grace principle but
on a Son of God principle.
What do we know about this sacred Hungarian land? Andrs PSA PL writes in his
book5 the following: Sacrality in Hungary starts from five. (In other countries it is zero, on
a 0 10 scale the author.) The land between the boundaries of Hungary has a basesacrality we did not find on other countries. Now this is all we want to add concerning the
sign group sacred kingdom of the Hungarian crest.
However, we did not finish with the triple hill, the primary base element of the sign
group. The common names in the common order are Ttra, Mtra, Ftra. (To avoid the
possible fussers, from our point of view it is all the same whether this naming was given
centuries ago or was invented by some eager populist and spread by Facebook.) There is a
group of sounds/letters in all three mountain names. This -tra element together with
the Drau part in the Drva rivers name is phonetic relative of turu. (This statement is
based on the rule of free consonant swapping within consonant groups and the rule of free
Egyhz, i.e. church literally means one house (eGy hz)
Bevezets a szakrlis terek radiesztziai felmrshez, (Introduction to Radiestesial Measuring of Sacral
Spaces) 2012, Kt Holls publication

usage of vowels, these rules were described in other articles.) On the everyday practice
level, this turu is the name of the VILGFA world-tree/live-tree of the shaman all over
Siberia. Figuratively, that is, on a cosmic level, it is also the regular name-variant of our
Milky way; on an even wider level, on the level of the Ancient Elements, it is than the
regular name of the fifth element, the world-tree/live-tree. We will see, that the Hungarian
Kingdom of God must work the most effectively on these cosmic and salvation levels
on the Hungarian sacred land.
So far we are finished with the first parts of the names of the hills. The functions are
divided into three parts from the ancient element through the Milky Way till the
implementing of magic powers (meaning the shaman-praxis in Siberia and tltos-praxis6
with us) - in the other halves of the names. The individual members of this trinity are easy
to distinguish now. T(tra) has aTYa (Father), M(tra) has aNYa (Mother) while F(tra)
has Fiu (Son) hidden in it. When we see such trinity as a hieroglyphic symbol, it is
usually the middle part of that is the most accented in Hungarian folklore. In this case, too,
the middle hill is the highest, and this one has the crown on top. Which is strange, as the
Mtra happens to be the lowest of the three hills. But, it is the Mother Virgin herself who
is the Queen of Hungary, isnt She? Could there be another, more expressing way to
indicate this fact in the crest of the Country?
Lets look at the other half now. As we were told,
there are four rivers (flows) here. Four rivers, which
are four existence-flows and that are essential to the
intended workings of the nation. Supposing that the
other half showed us the pictographic naming of a taskgroup as a mass, this half will most likely show us ways
of solving these tasks (the flow of work to be done).
And we will not be disappointed.
So Duna, Tisza, Drva, Szva. We already know that
neither the order of the names nor the names
themselves are not to be neglected. Lets start at the top,
and then move down. Thus the first flow, which is
also of the highest level, and which is vital with the
3. bra - Coffer from the ceiling of the nlaka
reformed church
functioning of a sacral kingdom, will be a Danube-like
flow. What meaning do we get, when we translate the pictography to everyday language?
Lets take a look at the folktale Godson of Duna God7 and quote the corresponding part
with our own comment.
They finished eating, and then Jesus asked,
What is that boy called?
He is not christened yet, says the princess, as we could not get among people since he
was born
Well, lets christen him, and I will be his Godfather. Since he spent his first days on the
Duna (Danube river), his name should then be Godson of Duna God.
This is the tale. And the comment reads as follows: We have two statements, from which
a third one follows. Which are these? Supposing that the godson of Duna God is called
Mtys Hunyadi (1st statement), and I am his godfather (2nd statement), then (3rd
statement) I am Duna God. This is the only way to explain the connection-group above.
This, in return, means, Duna God is Jesus himself.8
It all means, that, from the thunderstruck/petrified, materialized kind of the Fi (son),
that is Ftra element we get to the liquid that is river-like, or flow-like kind of the
Tltos is the name for the ancient Hungarian Shaman-like person; however, a tltos is on a higher level,
more similar to the druids

same quality. Remember, though, that this quality acted on the other side as a final result
in a three-element system. What happens with the Ttra/aTya/Father and
Mtra/aNya/Mother? Since the ancient times Duna has another name in the different
sources. This name is Ister/Iszter. (The original site of Esztergom9 is supposed to be in the
gamo sharp bend of the Duna, hence its present name.) This Duna Iszter namepair has striking resemblance to the ancient Mesopotamian! pair of gods, where the
male part is Dumuzi-Tammuz while the female part is Innana-Istar. In the end, this Duna
Iszter pair can ultimately be interpreted as the highest closest to the center of creation
aspect of the very first motion of the world created (which is usually referred to as the
Yang Yin formula).
From this point on we get lower and lower, like a waterfall, following the descent of
energy levels just like the paths of well documented tltos (shaman) trances thus
getting from heavenly spheres closer and closer to the tasks of our own world, our own
dimension. In this waterfall series the next level is the functional level of the Tisza. This
is a pictographic message easy to understand: we get down to the level of the ancient
elements. Tisza, as a river of Fire, shows the operating medium of this element. The next
waterfall to the Drva level (remember the Drau turu relation), which means we
arrive to the operating level of our Milky Way Galaxy. (Worth to remember: the wordendings -ava and -au are regular variations of each other. With -au the v is
considered a excrescency and the language omits it automatically and then treats -au as
either an additional variation or as a diphthong.) The Hungarian sacral king guides us as
Sons of the Milky Way.
The very last, and most earth smelling level on the right side is that of Szva.
(Following the Drva Drau pattern: Szva Szau Sz.) Whose Word can this be10?
Take a look at the whole process and you realize the only subject is the One. The speaking
of His Word (Szava, Sz), the Creating Word is the most everyday and most honorable
job of us, Hungarians. At least, this is what the pictographic message of the crest tells us.
We managed to get from The One Egy to His Word Szava we can relax as we,
ultimately, got back to Him, The One. How is this possible? In Hungarian [language] His
Word Szava , the Creating Word iGe is the precise corresponding phonetic of
eGy, i.e. One.
At this point it is worth to cite the first lines of the Gospel of John, 1:1 : In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the
beginning with God11. (New American Standard Bible) This means: In the beginning was
the Word iGe , and the Word iGe, (and this solely, nothing else) was with God
eGy , and the Word was God (eGy/One was the iGe/Word). And the reinforcement
and not a repetition as some believe is thus needed: He was in the beginning with God
(eGy). This all means, that the essence of iGe and eGy is practically the same. At least,
in Hungarian.
If we put the word Isten (God) in the place of eGy (one) in the above, we reach
another irradiation. From the word Isten (God) we can in first approximation derive stny (ancient fact) and right after this comes s-tan (ancient tenet/doctrine). (The word
SaTaN is also a valid paronym, a distortion of these both. But it is only a distortion of this
two-faced quality and nothing else.) This all means, that s-tan (ancient tenet/doctrine)
is substantially the same as s-tny (ancient fact), per the rules of Hungarian [language].
This is how we get again the substantial unity of Egy (One) and Ige (Word). (There is
one more thing a populist who usually gets the blame could add, in allow voice: this is
all not true when we use the language of the Gospels, i.e. Greek. These two words,
Town by the Duna/Danube river, former capitol and royal residence town of Hungary
Szva, Szava according to the rules of the language, mentioned before are equal, and the meaning of
the latter is The word of (somebody).
11 In Hungarian: Kezdetben vala az Ige, es az Ige vala az Istennel, es Isten vala az Ige. Ez kezdetben az
Istennel vala.

Ige/Word and Egy/One are not alike at all in Greek. The former one is logos, while
the latter one, also in this context, is monos)
Lets summarize the results from the previous observations. The pictography used has a
rather static character on the left side of the crest (right side, when facing it). The factors
that are the most important for us in forming our world are shown in a state-like way. On
the other half, however, the motifs are used in a rather dynamic way, our world-order is
shown in its flow-like character. On this side there are waves, on the other side there are
hills12. If we are aware that in our cosmic month the validity of the zodiac signs Pisces
and Aquarius13 run parallel with each other, it is easy to see this: with the observed duality
the Crest of Hungary seizes with great security the special, unique dual effect of the two
life-tendencies in the precession Great (Sun) Year14. (The Kingdom of God is the static
factor in this dual system, with the dominancy of the Virgin Motherness in the very
middle.)
We need to talk about the connection between the Crest of Hungary and the Holy Crown.
Unfortunately, the usage of today is rather unfortunate. One of the reasons is more of
theoretical, the other one is more of practical nature, but both have equal importance.
From the theoretical aspect we need to be aware of the following. The Holy Crown is to
be respected as a one and only, unrepeatable individuality (the Crest, as well as the Holy
Crown is usually referred to as a person!), while the Crest well, its life-form is
completely different from the previous, as its field of effect is rather symbolic. This is why
making copies of it is not just allowed, but is rather desirable. It is almost impossible to put
together smoothly these two qualities i.e., the one and only, directly effective quality and
the abstract, multipliable, indirectly working quality. It is a fact of experience, and leads to
the practical aspect of our analysis.
There is only one way of putting the Holy Crown on top of the Crest teat these two fit: we
need to omit the saggings. That is, we waste the lowest one of the three functional levels
(cross, crown, saggings), although it should lead the energies originating from the centre of
creation to the earth. Or: the healing, new life creating effects of the Crown can not reach
the body of the nation. It is a fact, that most of the population does not really care too
much about the Holy Crown and its ancient facts and ancient tenets/doctrines. And this is
fatal. And, with the current Crown - Crest combination, there is no possibility. The nation
thus tends to turn into a plebsstate, or into a proletariat-state.
It becomes instigative. (Lets
clarify it: this process does not
really affect those who do real
and meaningful work. It rather
affects those who live from the
work of others, the vacuous
beneficiaries, the kept, but
affect the most the punters of
politics.)

However, this fitting is not
completely unsolvable, as proven by a few examples of folk artifacts we used as illustration
for this article.

Wave is hullm, hill is halom in this case. Considering the rules of Hungarian language, the two words
reflect the two characteristics (moving and static, respectively) in a perfect way

21) rather than the star constellation and have nothing to do with the astrological aspect
14 The term Great (Sun) Year has a variety of related meanings. In our case, it is the period of one complete
cycle of the equinoxes around the ecliptic, about 25,800 years. In this year the Zodiac signs seem to move
in reverse order compared to the small year (365 days) order.
