Δάφνη : Daphne

Wednesday, 3 February 2021, 12:46.Reading time less than 1 minute.

How’s this for a run around Greek Mythology? Y’all know the story of love-sick Apollo’s pursuit of Daphne? And her prayer to her father to be saved from this pesky pest? And that her father turned her into a laurel tree? I’m back with Ovid and his Metamorphoses here. Mmmn. Girl turned into static, unspeaking […]

Philomela & Procne

Wednesday, 3 February 2021, 10:39.Reading time 1 minute.

OK. I knew that this story sounded familiar! Playwright and poet William Shakespeare (1564–1616) makes frequent use of the Philomela myth—most notably in his tragedy Titus Andronicus (c. 1588–1593) where characters directly reference Tereus and Philomela in commenting on rape and mutilation of Lavinia by Aaron, Chiron, and Demetrius. Prominent allusions to Philomela also occur in the depiction of Lucrece […]

Tell The Truth & Shame The Devil

Tuesday, 2 February 2021, 16:59.Reading time 2 minutes.

This is a line from Shakespeare’s Henry IV. We did Henry IV Part 1 AND Part 2 as part of my English Literature Exams. I didn’t quite appreciate this at the time but now I do. Henry IV, father of Henry V – antagonist of the Dauphin of France. Who was rescued by Jehanne d’Arc. […]

The Pregnancy Portrait of Elizabeth I

Tuesday, 2 February 2021, 14:36.Reading time 1 minute.

Oooh. I’m being given fascinating videos today :o) This one is a STUNNER for me. I got to know Somerset House quite well. By 1625, it was given over to Marie de Rohan as temporary accommodation when she escorted Henriette Marie to her new husband, Charles I Stuart, in England. By then the building had […]

Another Tartary Link?

Friday, 29 January 2021, 16:04.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Am I the only person in the WHOLE WORLD who sees the Mabinogion as a reflection of the House of Comnenus and Tartary? King Arthur? Betrayals? Beheadings? Horses? Celts/Scythians? A Kievan Rus’ from Georgia whom I named Aleksander? The ancient Brythonic Language? The destruction of Welsh Culture and Language? The fact that 12th century Welsh […]

The Mabinogion

Friday, 29 January 2021, 15:48.Reading time less than 1 minute.

The Mabinogion has played such a HUGE part in my past decade and a bit more of research for Ravens of Dinefwr. It helped me (along with N.C.) to weld the MSM History of Wales/Ireland/Scotland/The Normans/The Crusades with a new chronology and story. I’ve watched Cerys a few times – she’s my go-to-source for pronunciation […]

Somebody Has Done a Study of VOIVODE VLAD DRACULESTI : But It’s NOT Worth Reading!!

Friday, 29 January 2021, 13:23.Reading time 1 minute.

It took me many years of deep research from many different angles and via many different sources to finally connect the family of VOIVODE VLAD DRACULESTI aka Vlad the Impaler aka Dracula to the Hidden History of Tartary. AS far as I know – correct me if I’m wrong – I’m the only person to […]

The HOLE

Tuesday, 26 January 2021, 16:51.Reading time 1 minute.

I watched this film when it F1RST came out. Little realising that Keira Knightley and Laurence Fox would become ~SUPERFAMOUS. I knew Desmond Harrington already. He played Jean d’Aulon in Luc Beeson’s Jehanne d’Arc film :The Messenger. Jean d’Aulon was Jehanne’s Bodyguard and one of my fave characters in the Joan of Arc tale. His […]

Goodbye, my Lover

Tuesday, 26 January 2021, 13:41.Reading time 1 minute.

Before I get accused AGAIN of Bestiality – as I once was by a psycho yt commenter because I have a dolphin in my picture – the phrase MY Lover is very prevalent in the West Country of England. Scotland – Hen GeordieLand – Pet Lincolnshire – Me Duck West Country – Me Luvver They […]

Reading The Runes

OK. Here’s a prediction. Within the next few days we will have hexperts on Runes all over whytoob! FACT Nevertheless and whatever : I have Rune Stones. This is not a subject that I’ve had the time to study in depth yet… but, I kind of know the basically basics. I have a long Academic […]

BathHouses & Follies

Friday, 22 January 2021, 13:32.Reading time 1 minute.

Y’all may be probably bored with this vibe by now but…SHRUG. These kind of programmes can be truly enlightening when you had an idea about what you are looking at. I’ve long disagreed with the MSM History of BathHouses. The “Romans” were famous for them (!?) So – in the History of History we have […]

The Ravens of Dinefwr is the first in a series of novels-in-progress set in the early 12th century.
