<p>Child-murderer, wife-poisoner, liar, hypocrite and coward: Richard III, the last Plantagenet king of England has a very bad reputation. Shakespeare himself built his most terrifying psychopathic villain on the bones of his story.</p>
<p>On the morning of August 22, 1485, Richard III was cut down by series of blows and finally killed by a slice to his head with a hatchet. Then his dead body was probably stripped, flung across a horse and a dagger thrust into its naked backside it was carried to the city of Leicester. Finally, perhaps after several days of being on display, Richard's corpse was squeezed into a too-short grave at Greyfriars monastery – and its whereabouts forgotten for the next four centuries.</p>
<p>The death of Richard, after just two years on the throne, marked the end of the Wars of the Roses, which had raged between the houses of Lancaster and York, each determined to seize power. The victor at the Battle of Bosworth Field was Henry Tudor, a distant cousin by marriage with a shaky claim to the throne, a bucketload of self-belief and a pushy mother.</p>
<p>Uranus, the planet of revolution, swept across the English Midheaven-Sun-Moon and natal Uranus.</p>
<p>Henry Tudor was crowned Henry VII on October 30 that year. His reign brought a lasting peace to England for the first time in 100 years. His son, Henry VIII, would be able to vie with the finest princes in Europe for sheer princeliness (before going off the rails), and his grandaughter would be good Queen Bess, still the most recognisable and personally powerful monarch ever to rule these islands....</p>
<p>Fast forward to the 21st Century...</p>
<p>On August 24, 2012, the lost remains of Richard III were discovered under a carpark in the city of Leicester. The confluence of coincidences and luck that brought the body to light made it seem almost as if the ghost of Richard was guiding the archaeological dig....</p> Merovingians: The Once, The P…tag:travelingwithintheworld.ning.com,2014-02-10:2185477:Comment:1984382014-02-10T18:59:31.283ZDept of PMM Artists & thingshttp://travelingwithintheworld.ning.com/profile/Artistsandthings

<p>The Arthurian Saga...or, the Ancient Narrative of a 'Once & Future" Sun-King:</p>
<p>Within the Arthurian context Merlin was Arthur's magician and ally...however, within an historical context, Arthur’s sorcerer Merlin would most certainly have been a Master Druid, in the tradition of the Celts. The Celtic religion that existed in Britain prior to the arrival of Roman Catholicism, also showed evidence of Kabbalistic influence. As early as the first centuries AD, it was believed that the Celts learned the arts of the Babylonian “Magi” through the students of Pythagoras. According to Pliny the Elder, in the first century AD, magic, meaning the cult of the Magi, was so entrenched in Britain that he said it would almost seem as if it was the British who had taught it to the Babylonians, and not the other way around.</p>
<p>The Sun-King Rises</p>
<p>King Arthur's messianic return is an aspect of the legend of King Arthur, the mythical 6th-century British king. Few historical records of Arthur remain, and there are doubts that he ever existed, but he achieved a mythological stature that gave rise to a growing literature about his life and deeds. One recurrent aspect of Arthurian literature was the notion that he would one day return in the role of a messiah to save his people.</p>
<p>A number of locations were suggested for where Arthur would actually return from.</p>
<p>***The earliest-recorded suggestion was Avalon. Geoffrey of Monmouth asserted that Arthur "was mortally wounded" at Camlann but was then carried "to the Isle of Avallon (insulam Auallonis) to be cured of his wounds", with the implication that he would at some point be cured and return therefrom made explicit in Geoffrey's later Vita Merlini.***</p>
<p>*** Another tradition held that Arthur was awaiting his return beneath some mountain or hill [ie. Tor / Mound]***</p>
<p>. First referenced by Gervase of Tilbury in his Otia Imperialia (c.1211), this was maintained in British folklore into the 19th century and Loomis and others have taken it as a tale of Arthur's residence in an underground (as opposed to an overseas) Otherworld. Other less common concepts include the idea that Arthur was absent leading the Wild Hunt, or that he had been turned into a crow or raven....<br/>(credit Wiki)</p> King Arthur Pendragon...a.k.a…tag:travelingwithintheworld.ning.com,2014-02-09:2185477:Comment:1984332014-02-09T18:18:35.170ZDept of PMM Artists & thingshttp://travelingwithintheworld.ning.com/profile/Artistsandthings

<p><span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" id="fbPhotoPageCaption"><span class="hasCaption">Arthur as a solar divinity and the Round Table in the northern sky:<br/> <br/> ***Arthur has been described as a solar divinity in a book (The Light of Britannia by Owen Morgan __ "Morien") that claims to be based upon ancient Druidic traditions.***<span class="text_exposed_show"><br/> <br/> ***He is both seen as the god of the Sun when its pathway across the sky rises in the spring and summer. His Round Table has been described as the circle in the sky marked by the rotatation of the constellation of the Plough around the Pole Star. The stars of the Plough were referred to as being 'Arthur's heifers'__that is cows that have never calved: in other words they were virgin cattle [or bulls?]. Arthur has also been viewed as being the sun whose beneficient influence during the spring and summer fosters the flowering and fructification of vegetation. While at the time of the winter solstice he is the old decaying sun which is symbiolically killed and is then rebor.***<br/> <br/> Arthur seems to have been associated in the minds of the Druids with the exercise of the sun's greatest force in dispelling darkness and its destructive agents in the physical world during his journey up the ecliptic. In the Welsh language the apparent circle traversed by the constellation Ursa Major around the polar star, is named the Round Table of Arthur in the heavens, and the Druidic name of Ursa Major is "Arthurs Plough," which conveys the notion of a farm or garden in the heavens. The stars are referred to by the Druids, as Arthur's heifers__the Lyre is called Arthur's Harp.<br/> <br/> Morgan, O. (Morien), The Light of Britannia, P.23<br/> <br/> To this day the Welsh refer to the northern heavens as the Bwrdd Arthur (Arthur's table), described as round.It is referred to also as Arthur's Garden, and the Great Bear is called Arthur's Plough (Arad'r Arthur). It is singular that Arth, the Welsh for bear, the constellation in question is also named Bear, whereas the name in the Druidic language, refers to Arthur, one of the Druidic titles of the sun as a husbandman or gardener.<br/> <br/> Morgan, O. (Morien), The Light of Britannia, P.374<br/> <br/> To return to theme of the Round Table being in the Northen sky. Fiona Macleod varied from Morien, who has the constellation of the Plough sweeping out the limits of Arthur's Round Table in the sky, in that she made this constellation represent the round Table and its seven knights. She described Arthur as having a vision in which the seven knights of the future Round Table are symbolised by the seven stars of the Plough. She also makes it plain that Arthur chose as his Round Table knights, seven who were 'flawless virgin knights': a clear parallel to the seven heifers (virgin cows) which were the stars of the Plough according to Morien.<br/> (credit geocities.ws)</span></span></span></p>
