“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 know I’m going on a bit about the first two decades of the 17th century and SOMETHING major happening. Yada! But – – – Another anomaly! King Henri IV of France and Navarre (father of Louis XIII) was assassinated on the 14th of May 1610. He was Anti – Spanish/Hapsburg and about to go […]
There is a VERY long and convoluted link between these two characters. Which, in fact, is pretty simple but – to prove – will take many libraries to explore and ingest. Sir John doing The Tempest.
In fact, I’m pretty, puffing, peeved!!! See the girl in the image above with her face on her hand, looking slightly bemused and/or bored? Well. That’s me. FACT! I know what “the 10 is complete at 4” means now. Ahem. Too much information, Mr Maths :o(
That’ll be Me, Myself and I. BUT, I’m in good company :o) Ben Jonson wrote the above about Will Shakespeare! I’m teaching myself the Greek Alphabet. F1RST Lesson – Iota, Eta, Sigma, Omicron, Upsilon, Sigma. In Greek Gematria this means 888. Go figure :o)
Where the hecking fluff is a Mathematical Musician when you need one ? Ay? I can do the Mythology but any thing with squiggly maths signs FREAKS ME OUT. Big Time. I totally get the Apollo/Hermes/Jesus link. It’s obvious. But the Arithmetic Mean and the Harmonic Mean. Booom. Brain Freeze! Might as well be written […]
How many Irish Myths and Legends can be named in just one song? Let’s start with Roisin Dubh, The Black Rose. In centuries past, when England prohibited any mention of this country BY LAW, a very dark red aka Black Rose was a code name for Ireland. Cuchulainn : look him up in Irish mythology. […]
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 […]
GB 1st June 2019 : Echo Whaaat? First Orpheus and Eurydice. Now Echo and the N A R C ? OK. I’m having a Greek Myth day today. Woohoooo. Quite happy with that :o) P.S. This was posted a couple of days back but I’ve only just seen it!
This was my subject of today. So – I go from Orphic Myth to Orpheus and Eurydice to Katharine of Aragon and Henry the VIIIth to Christ and Mary Magdalene. How? It’s ALL a story. A tale. A MYTH about a woman being sent to Hell. Rescued from Hell by a man. And then being […]
This is one of my favourite Tarot cards. I’ll stick with the Rider-Waite image because it says so much. You have a golden chalice (Holy Grail?) balanced on The Hidden Hand OR The Hand of God (take your pick) and much more symbolism therein. It represents a person full of self-love who has been given […]
Told you I was going to be challenged by over 400 pages! Mysteriosophy – Whaaaaat? My source concealed but… By this term we mean a special manner of seeing the cosmos, man and the history of the gods : a manner which implies a SOPHIA or general mystic conception of life and the cosmos, of […]
But -despite that – Alexandria now has a new library. Mmmmn. Why has NO TRACE of the original been found? GB : 14th June 2019 I’d love the Library at Pharos to be true. But everything that I have learned about “Arabs” – and know about in real life – screams that they would NEVER […]
