“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 talked about the Nine Worthies the other day. These are the Nine Greatest/Most Virtuous/Chivalric Males. They have female counterparts. And the fresco at Castello della Manta shows them too. But – unlike the men who seem to be fixed in history, the women are not. Depending on which source you research, the names of […]

I’m checking out something else (as tasked) and come across THIS www BS. Excuse Me? What? May I humbly request that my name NEVER, EVER be publicly linked with The Celtic Tartarian Channel ? I have ZERO links with Martin Liedtke or FEB or ANYTHING associated with anything to do with these channels! ZERO LINKS! […]
Hubris is the characteristic of excessive confidence or arrogance, which leads a person to believe that he or she may do no wrong. The overwhelming pride caused by hubris is often considered a flaw in character. Nemesis UhOh. Now there’s a goddess y’all NEVER want to meet (?) With her ever present Goose, Sword, Lash, Dagger, Measuring Rod, […]
Why? Because of the utter stupidity of the masses. The totally CRAZY videos we are all subjected to. The “theories”/”speculations”/”computer-generated BS”/Entrenched Minds/Over-Complicated Calculations/Mirrors/And now REFLECTIONS off the MOON! FFS! IT IS A BALL. One half solid. One half not. As Above, So Below Put water on a Flat surface and it runs everywhere. Put a […]
I am SO Lucky. Very few people get to spend their days doing the things that they absolutely LOVE doing. I’m forever grateful! The past four days have been lived with a thought in the back of my mind… …OK. So WHEN are “they” going to turn up? I start working this morning and the […]
I’ve always loved the title of this poem :o) It’s about Swords and Sorcery and Carlos Magnus/Charles the Great/Charlemagne. So much to do, so little time – this came as a side-note to my recent research and I’ve yet to fully figure out why. Could it be the Canto below? ? ? Roland, who long […]
I have written about this subject before. GB 14th Feb 2020 : Harem It’s one of those things that never fails to make my blood boil! I wasn’t called Militant Millie for nothing. MS History like that in the video below has, in my humble opinion, done MUCH to ruin, silence, victimise the female half […]
Oh. Erm. OK. I’ve said before that one of the names from my Maternal Norfolk Line was Dyer. We will close over the MS History of Amelia Dyer (such a common name!) This vid has sooo many crazy, bizarre, inexplicable links for me that I’ve gone totally Bats in the Belfry :o( P.S. I always […]
I spent quite a bit of time with John Dryden (and The Gang) as I researched the 17th century. But I seem to have missed this poem of his. Well, it’s a translation…of Chaucer, I think (?) The whole poem is beautiful but these lines are relevant for me today :o) Just is your suit, […]
Guess where one of the most famous depictions of The Nine Worthies is! Yup. The Piedmont. Northern Italy. A bit of Turin. A bit of Milan. A bit of Genoa. Same names, Savoy, d’Este, Sforza, Visconti plus Ferrara, De Guise, Borgia Gonzaga. Mmmmn. Curious!
The Nine Worthies were : Jewish – King David, Joshua the Patriarch and Judas Maccabeus Pagan – Hector of Troy, Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar Christian – Charlemagne, King Arthur, Godfrey of Bouillon There are many renditions of these characters but it’s believed that they first appeared in picture form in 1312. I’m intrigued […]
