“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.”
The Examination at Poitiers I know that I’m a pickled onion short of a ploughman’s lunch but I’ve tried (and failed) to trace the path of this “book.” Via Jehanne. Via her accusers. Via her family. Via Mainstream History. Via Charles d’Orleans. Via novels. Via Shakespeare. Via Vita Sackville-West and all who followed this […]
Wiki : Nest ferch Rhys I’ve been thinking a LOT about Nest these past couple of days. Oh. Fiss. Bad news :o( In Welsh the girl’s name Nest/Nesta is…..? Behind the Name : Nest/Nesta/Agnetha/Ines What a co – inky – dink :o) P.S. Read most of Dr Kari’s work. In book […]
Being ALMOST as Scandinavian as I am Scottish (29% former/36%latter – even though they are both, basically, the same!) I have always had a fondness for the Norse myths about Trolls. A troll is a class of being in Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore. In Old Norse sources, beings described as trolls dwell in isolated rocks, mountains, or caves, live together […]
The Scoundrel’s Dictionary, the anonymous 18th century pamphlet, has amused me for a few years now but it is quite hard to read in the original type-setting. Too many OLDE WORLDE confusions of S and F. Anyway, in this monograph I have modernised much of the original 18th century spelling and included several annotations to, […]
Every REAL writer knows the first 2 MAJOR rules of writing. Show, Don’t Tell. Less is More. And – taking these to heart – I’ll do my REAL job and Endeth the Lesson here!
For nearly four centuries, the Ottoman sultans dwelt amid the secret splendors of Topkapi Palace. Access to the Grand Seraglio–which served as the empire’s administrative, legislative, and judicial center and an academy of fine arts, as well as the ruler’s home–was jealously guarded, even after the sultans ceased to reside there in the mid-nineteenth century. […]
I’m still on the trail of Ankhesenamun, wife of Tutankhamen. Wiki : Ankhesenamun Now. If New Chronology are right and Toot was really the child Tsar Dmitry, was he married? So many questions. So few tangible answers. How frus-bloody-trating!!! From NC: TUTANKHAMUN AND CZAREVICH DMITRY. By calling a young pharaoh Tutankhamun, we rely on […]
Edgar was certainly not heir by primogeniture, as later kings would be, since Duncan II had a legitimate son and heir in the person of William fitz Duncan.[7] With Donald and Edmund removed, however, Edgar was uncontested king of Scots, and his reign incurred no major crisis. Compared with his rise to power, Edgar’s reign is obscure. One […]
I should’ve gone with the flow and Sold Out. Silly me. I’d be exploring the world and making videos and screwing up the already screwed up Hidden History. And making lots of lovely Lolly/Dosh/Shekels/ Greenbacks/PoundShillingPences. My bad. P.S. I’m Soooooo done with Josh and Cody and…..etc
Wiki : Isabelle Eberhardt I came across Isabelle many moons ago via a fictionalised account of her life. I looked a little deeper into her story. I might just have to look deeper still. And pay more attention (!) If I remember correctly, she embraced Sufism wholeheartedly and converted to Islam. P.S. I’d also […]
I’ve long had a philos – o – ma – phy. When in doubt about Mainstream History, always go back to myth and legend. I’ve never watched GoT. I think I understand why now!!!
