(May 19, 2024, Updated September 9, 2024) This is a replica of a casket called "Frank's Casket" because of the mistaken idea it is an early Frankish object. It is owned by the British Museum but is no longer exhibited. Museum number 1996,0701.1. Onine at: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1996-0701-1_1

The remains of the original only consists of whale bone panel which are also at the British Museum with Museum number 1867,0120.1.  It was found near a small hillside town in south-eastern France called Auzon which is on the  Allier river which is one of the main tributaries of the Loire river. It is online at: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1867-0120-1

The letters are in an early coastal rune style as indicated by the letter "H" having 2 lines instead of 1. 

The images start on the left with an metal smith holding tongs over a forge. He represents the life power which forms objects. Below him is a dead body indicating something is wrong with the formation of life. The letter "T" labels indicate he is being affected by astrology magic. In the past these "T" letters where mis-interpreted as Christian crosses. Most of the so called "crosses" on early runestones are actually Druid labels for astrology-magic. 

The metal smith is being handed a potion from two hooded people labeled as the "curses" or "crimpers" (crimping the flow of life powers is a curse). Astrology magic is being cursed. Ducks being strangled (necks crimpled) also seem to represent this cursing event.

The scene on the right shows the opposite with 3 people making offerings to the enclosed (earthly) life powers represented by a pregnant woman. This woman is either the crescent moon goddess Ayu or the life revealer goddess Asher (Contrast this to the Christian female divinity, the virgin Mary, who is anti-life). Each person making an offering represents one layer of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm. Notice the duck is walking alongside the people making the offerings which indicates life powers are not being crimped. Above the people is a symbol representing the star Sirius as a representation of the astrological power integration with the life powers. The star Sirius is also known as the companion star or dog star because it always accompanies the rising sun. The label adjacent to Sirius says this : "The Filter (Life-Network) is energized by the same."

The emanations mentioned below are the manifested life fluids like rain, heat, and sunlight. Eagle vultures were the griffins of this era's European mythology.

In English

  1. Ineffectiveness is not caused by emanation's lack.  |  Neglect is from the night-noise.
  2. (Their) Openings are being purified by the Baker (sun god Hu).  Astrology-magic is being supervised by Su (dark moon god) similarly.
  3. The murders are being divided by Su similarly.
  4. Eagle-vultures are being opened by Su. Life-manifestations can be amplified by the emanations. Su can elevate the same community (life-powers). Energy can foreshadow the life-manifestations.  Openings from Su are being paralyzed.  Openings from astrology magic are the same as Su. The waters are expecting  the same.  Is not the distribution (of the waters) activated by the opening (of Su)?
  5.  The covering (starry night sky) can be opened by devotion. Emanations are nourished by involving astrology-magic.

Labels
  1. Astrology-magic
  2. Astrology-magic
  3. Crimper (of fertility-fluid flow)
  4. Crimper
  5. The Filter (Life-Network) is energized by the same.

Location of Auzon, France Where the Casket Panels Were Found

Auzon Not Conquered Until 522 CE

Burgundy and the territory around Auzon was settled by Germanic tribes who mixed in with the local population.  It remained Pagan until 522 when the Christian Franks conquered it. King Clovis of the Franks (481–511) converted his kingdom to Christianity shortly after 507 CE.
