(***the reasons why I enjoy studying about the Merovingians is because the DNA from Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ was found within the type of blood, allegedly.)
Since the Merovingians were believed to have mystical or divine lineage, November fits their mythos perfectly: a month dedicated to ancestral power.
In more ways than most people realize. The Merovingians, the Templars, and November intersect through symbolism, ritual calendars, and historical anniversaries. Here are the strongest ties:
1. November as the Month of the Dead (Samhain → All Saints → All Souls)
Much of the Merovingian mystique is tied to pre-Christian European ritual.
November—beginning with Samhain—was the ancient season when:
the veil between worlds thinned ancestry, lineage, and bloodlines were honored sacred kingship rituals were remembered
Since the Merovingians were believed to have mystical or divine lineage, November fits their mythos perfectly: a month dedicated to ancestral power.
2. Templar Suppression Began in the Autumn
The fall of the Knights Templar — often linked in legends to Merovingian bloodlines — began with a dramatic event close to November:
October 13, 1307: Mass arrests of the Templars in France The trials, confessions, and accusations unfolded through October–November
Stories of secret bloodlines, hidden heirs, and forbidden knowledge became intertwined with this time of year.
3. November as a Time of Revelation
In the esoteric traditions you often work with, November marks:
the end of the harvest the closing of one cycle the preparation for hidden work during winter the season when “secret knowledge surfaces”
Much of the modern fascination with Merovingian DNA theories and Templar mysteries is about revelation of concealed ancestry, which aligns with November’s symbolic role.
4. Modern Research Cycles
Genetic genealogy (including Merovingian DNA exploration) often peaks in:
late autumn holiday testing promotions winter ancestry projects
It’s coincidental but interesting: November is when many people begin looking into their ancient roots.
5. Culturally, November Is a Storytelling Month
In medieval Europe, including early Frankish (Merovingian) territories, winter’s approach meant:
gathering around fires retelling epics and legends recounting dynastic stories
Much of what we know—or imagine—about the Merovingians survived through this kind of oral tradition.
