Pallas Retrograde

Interesting :o) P.S. Try Minerva and Zeus. Same thing. Add into that the Cosmic Owl and that’ll be […]

BRAVEHEART (1995) England, Alba, Cymru & Eire

Mmmn! I might’ve grown up a bit and mastered my hair […]

Gossip is the Medicine of the Vicious

If only I had known – 20 years ago – when I first wrote this beginning. When I first chose the Maxim to use, that today, here, now, I’d be standing in Marie de Rohan’s shoes. Exiled. Disgraced. And Mourning. SMH!

Public Execution

Mmmn! I have several problems with the video below. Not least – the fact that (according to MS History) Henri II de Montmorency was “beheaded” in 1632 by a guillotine.
