“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
I had an inkling, even before this book arrived, that it would be fantastic. If the intro is anything to go by, I’m in good company. BTW. I loved my school years. Almost every day was FUN. Maybe because we were a very happy bunch of kids who placed the “education” part of going to […]
The History of Watermarks in Paper is a long one. It’s fascinating and little known about outside of Academia. The process of watermarking paper reached expert levels as far back as the 12th and 13th centuries – mainly in the South of France where the Cathars and Huguenots had to hide their heretical religious leanings. […]
Fludd (1574-1637) is on MY List. Over 20 years ago he was presented to me as a teacher and influencer of Claude de Lorraine, Duc de Chevreuse Make the links with that one yourselves ? Don’t y’all just love it when multiple paths open up and multiple timelines converge? Shakespeare’s quote is in Agatha Christie’s […]
This year it brings a Gemini Penumbral Lunar Eclipse Full Moon. It’s also my Nan – Anne’s – birthday. Every year. Gemini is the opposite sign to Sag. Sag is fully independent. Gemini needs a twin. WTF ? November 30, 2020, brings a Partial Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Gemini. Lunar Eclipses are like […]
George Orwell is prolly not the first person to ever connect the word/animal SHEEP to the masses who just do as they are told but… Have you read Animal Farm ? ? ? If so – read it again. I will. If not – READ IT! Please :o) Sheeple is such a cliché now that […]
From Me to ME :o) This book was recommended to me last week so I thought I’d treat myself. It arrived today and the first page that I opened up to was the one above. Who’d’ve thunk? I’ve a feeling that I’m in for over 400 pages of challenge and enlightenment. Woohooo!
I CANNOT make this up. God’s Honest and on my boys’ lives – I fell asleep last night listening to the book above. I have ALL the Hamish Macbeth books on audio and prefer the earlier ones read by Davina Porter. Who – btw – narrated Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander books too. I’ve nothing against David […]
I can this theme as far as it needs to go :o) Crann Tara aka The Fiery Cross was, once upon a time… In Scotland, the fiery cross, known as the Crann Tara, was used as a declaration of war. The sight of it commanded all clan members to rally to the defence of the area. It then became hijacked by….well […]
I’ve just spent several hours piecing together bits and pieces that I could find from a book referenced everywhere. Suddenly – I come across a picture of the cover of said book and Cuss Loudly. That looks familiar. I rush to my shelves and sure enough, the bloody thing is sat sitting there!!! Oh. I […]
I’ve done the 3,6,9 thing here before but the chapter in the images here takes things much further. Many are a little obsessed with the mirror number 12:21 – there is more to that combo than meets the eye! Strange to find all of this in a book about Medieval Myths, yes ?
It is many years since I have looked in this book. It starts with a map dated c450 B.C. and the last is dated 1962. The World according to Herodotus in 450 B.C. has only six names on it. Europa, Scythia, Asia, Libya, Arabia and India. Looking through for a “certain name” I’ve found some […]
I’m entering an area of research where “Knowledge and Belief” have to come second place to Experience and Intuition. I made a Shakespeare link today whilst knitting aka meditating. The initials B & J. They are pretty familiar and much misunderstood. The passage below speaks to me. It talks about a part of the Book […]
