Heart of Albion – Tales from the Wondrous Head
It also appeared to depict an angel with a rather large sword dressed as a Jester but then, the less said about that the better…for now at least.
There was also an intriguing Pietà, depicting the effect of blasphemy upon the ‘body’ of Christ. The various blasphemers are shown coveting the parts of the Christ’s body which their calumnies have torn asunder… Needless to say there are fourteen such miscreants and if the Doom in some respects reminds us of the Egyptian ‘weighing of the heart’, then this scene cannot but remind us of the dismembered Osiris…
Interesting, when one considers that at the time these walls were painted, to all intents and purposes nobody was supposed to have heard of either the weighing of the heart or the dismemberment of Osiris…
To celebrate the new year we are running a Kindle Countdown promotion beginning at midnight on New Year’s Eve and ending at 11 pm on Twelfth Night, January 6th.
“If I am consciously following a woman who is about to engage a Llama in conversation, which I certainly appear to be, it does not impinge too negatively upon my thought processes.”
What does Jack and the Beanstalk have to do with a spiritual quest? What, for that matter, is the nature of the relationship between Salome and the Jester? Why is Wen conversing with a llama in the Yorkshire Dales? And what links the beautiful and sacred landscape that is the Heart of Albion with Breakfast in Slug Town? These, and many other questions, must be considered as Don and Wen continue the journey begun in The Initiate exploring the shadowy roots of the ancient myths and legends of these Blessed Isles, steering a perilous path through the murky waters of religious symbolism and iconography.
“Breakfast in Slug Town?”
Join them on their continuing quest for knowledge and understanding as they explore the landscape of England and people it with strange creatures and even stranger theories, using sacred intent and guided imagination to penetrate into the mysteries unfolding before them.
Illustrated in full colour throughout (colour display dependent on compatible device)
