Over-Educating Myself ?

At exactly 0:28 in the video below you will see a name across the map. De Hen Bartia. I might know more Medieval Welsh than I thought. Ravens of Dinefwr centres around a family from Dinefwr in Deheubarth. Breaking down the words WITHOUT le goo goo…I translated DEHENBARTIA as THE OLD PART. Strange that this […]

I adore this book. As you can see above…my copy is almost stuck together with sticky notes. These are all MY rewrites of the history from a different point of view. Just because I disagree with his conclusions, does NOT mean that I reject his book. FACT! I’m having an AbFab Day :o)

Elisiv of Kiev has been on my list of important subjects since December 2018. The Many Hidden Mysteries of Grand Tartaria Below is not the perfect video for my point but it’ll do. MY DNA. I’ve talked about quite a bit : 36% Scottish, 29% Scandinavian….1% Russian. As we are talking about almost 1,000 years […]

Positive vs Negative

It is POSSIBLE (!) depending on your personal point of view, that the energy that we incarnate, or reincarnate WITH is there for a specific reason. Karma is BASIC and Universal. It’s just reciprocal energy as defined by Newton : Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Or, in the vernacular, DO AS YOU […]

And y’all hate on me? It was soooo bloody obvious to me even then that certain people knew much more than they were revealing. I challenged Scottish Restorian and she admitted. See above. And this happened WAY before the Ultimate Unveiling of him. It was said by someone who KNEW and was intimate with that […]

I was looking for a “business” partner to share a new venture with and have received – out of the blue – an offer from a fellow historian who has followed my work for a long time. Way back since my Weave a Garland days in the early 2000’s. Woohoo. Time for a partner-in-historical-crime, methinks […]

I was 12 years old when my Mum lent me her copy of the novel Katherine by Anya Seton. We were living here then, and it ignited my interest in local history. From Bolingbroke Castle to Lincoln Cathedral which are about 26 or so miles apart. And it also helped me with the English Royal […]

That’s where I come from. Through many generations. It was written…“It’s all decided for us.” Thank God for giving me one last try before…“This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us.” :o) I ain’t coming back. FACT!

Barlings is just down the road from me. En route to Lincoln. The year after something happened in NY one September, I went to Lincoln to meet, in real life, a friend that I’d “met” online. She was a fellow writer and also (with her husband) the new owner of a publishing company in the […]

I heard the above phrase recently and it has opened up a whole new aspect of research for me. This is something that just about every single person in the history of ever has experienced. From the benign to the pure evil. It might start with comment made to you as a child by your […]
