“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’ve been sent back to Ancient Roman times to study this one! Yes. Well. I don’t, for a single minute, believe that the author of these 10 books was Augustus’ Town Planner way back when. I’d bet all the money I have (£5.45p) that this man was much nearer to the time of Leonardo da […]

This is the reason why a certain writer is heavily identified with the goddess Pallas Athena ? ? ?

I have read and/or listened to just about every novel that Phil Rickman has written. Apart from his John Dee ones! The Remains of an Altar has stayed with me for many reasons. You have an ex-SAS soldier who is now a churchman. You have Merrily doing her Deliverance stuff. You have the ghost of […]

If the Turgot 1739 map didn’t impress, how about Agas Map1572, London. In the image above from the Elizabethan 1572 map you will see Somerset Place on the river, next to the Savoy. I used Turgot to walk my characters around Paris and this map to do the same in London. By 1625, when Marie […]

Yes. They are all connected. I don’t speak out of my …? Let’s start with Zelda/Doom. I was in the local supermarket the other day and there were two blokes behind the plastic talking about Zelda. One of them looked at me, looked back at his workmate and said…”She’ll have no idea what we are […]

.After watching a great live chat a while back, I’ve been sent back to old books of mine. The Invisibles is subtitled “The True History of the Rosicrucians.” M’eh. True? I’m not totally convinced but it is fascinating. Especially when – much to my joy – I find a section called A Conjunction on the […]

Yesterday I suggested that someone study the 1739 Turgot map of Paris. It’s very telling. I have used this map many times to walk my characters around the city. The image above is the part most used. If you expand the view, you will see the Rue Saint Thomas du Louvre between the Louvre and […]

The faceless knight is an image much used in Fantasy Computer games and such like! Or it has become the subject of some very weird and disturbing theories about suits of armour being created to hide WORMY Creatures. OK. Disclaimer : I am NOT an expert on Heraldry. This is just another subject that has […]

I’ve a soft spot for this poet. He has so many links for me. His mother was sister to Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester. His sister was Mary (whom some think might’ve written the Bard’s works.) He fell out with Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford and challenged him to a duel. Which […]

Some extremely clever person took the image above, which was published in the Rosicrucian pamphlet Speculum sophicum rhodostauroticum – 1618, and worked out the sacred geometry encoded there. He found da Vinci’s star. The same star that is hidden in Vitruvian Man. He also found several other hidden secrets in the lines, including something that […]

I have a huge fondness for Ben Jonson. I’ve come across him many times during my research. He was a Wit, a Scholar and a Brainiac ;o) Poor POET-APE, that would be thought our chief,Whose works are e’en the frippery of wit,From brokage is become so bold a thief,As we, the robbed, leave rage, and […]

The Greek god Dionysus is also known as “The Twice Born.” He was grown in and born from both a womb and a thigh (BTW – The Fisher King of the Grail Legends had a wounded thigh. It was cut open in a joust!!) Virbius (Roman) was originally known as Hippolytus. Twice Born. I’ve had […]
