   Extractions: Caroline Blackburn "These are no ordinary snapshots, freezing a mere passing moment in time, but elaborate supernatural tableaux that take months to create." - Jane Warren (The Express) The striking works of Caroline Blackburn have been called everything from inspirational and captivating right though to disturbing. Starting out as a young photographer in 1992, she began to develop an incredible technique of creating images that go beyond realism and take the physical actuality of photography into a new and exciting realm. Caroline continues to develop and produce outstanding pictures in her home studio, building her own sets and handcrafting costumes and props. The images contained within this site are taken from a wide range of her work to date, the progressive complexity and underlying metaphors are used cleverly to interact with the similes and allegories enticing the view to expand beyond the regular wooden frame. Due to the constraints and effort required to produce just a single unique piece of art all the photographs are of a limited edition and each is individually hand-painted by Caroline herself. . What more needs to be said, the paintings themselves speak all the words needed. This site offers the opportunity to appreciate Caroline's work, and acquire one of these unique pictures for yourself.

   Extractions: Our Collection What is an Icon? Icons Atlas Icons Timeline ... Biography Early British Mythology Early British Mythology The most complete body of early British mythology to pre-date the Robin Hood legends is the world of King Arthur and his Round Table. These romances date from early medieval times, and are distantly based on a historical figure whose true name is the subject of continuing dispute. He is likely to have been a Celtic warlord who made one of the last stands (perhaps even the last stand) against the invading Anglo-Saxon hordes in around AD 500, at the Battle of Badon Hill. King Arthur's Round Table at Winchester, Hampshire The principal basis we have for King Arthur’s life is the Historia Regum Britanniae History of the Kings of Britain ), written by Geoffrey of Monmouth in the 1130s. Geoffrey’s work was not bound by the conventions of today’s history-writing, but drew freely on myths and stories, in addition to well-attested historical fact. Arthur emerges from Geoffrey’s pages initially as the good-natured, courageous youth, becoming King of the Britons at the age of 15 after the poisoning of his father Uther Pendragon. He distinguishes himself many times in battle against the Saxons and others, killing 470 men by his own hand in one momentous engagement. Seriously wounded in battle in AD 542, he is transported to the isle of Avalon to be tended, in the process giving up his crown to his kinsman Constantine, after which we hear no more of him.

    Extractions: This is the story my grandma used to tell me...... Once upon a time, there was no time and that was when there also was no gods and no man walked the surface of the land. But there was the sea, and where the sea met the land, a mare was born, white and made of sea-foam. And her name was Eiocha. On the land, near where the land met the sea, a tree grew, a strong and sturdy oak. On the oak, grew a plant whose seeds were formed of the foam tears of the sea. To sustain her, Eiocha ate the seeds, these white berries, and they were transformed within her. Eiocha grew heavy with child and gave birth to the god, Cernunnos. So great was her pain in childbirth that she ripped bark from the one tree and hurled it into the sea. The bark was transformed by the sea and became the giants of the deep. Cernunnos was lonely and he saw the giants of the deep who were numerous, so he coupled with Eiocha and of their union came the gods, Maponos, Tauranis, and Teutates, and the goddess, Epona. Eiocha soon tired of the land, being a creature of sea-foam, and she returned the sea, where she was transformed into Tethra, goddess of the deep water, sometimes called Tethys. The gods and goddess were lonely for they had none to command nor none to worship them. The gods and goddess took wood from the one oak tree and fashioned the first man and the first woman.

    Extractions: Gog of Jezekiel (Ezekiel) In the Bible and in secular writings Gog is usually associated with Magog. Something got my interest the other day and I started laying out all the pertinent references that I could find and see if I could come to a conclusion. This is more of a listing of references for study other than any firm conclusion. Magog is one of the sons of Japheth the son of Noe (Noah). The below passages and references are what I was able to find referring to Gog. LXX Numbers 24:7 There shall come a man out of his seed, and he shall rule over many nations; and the kingdom of Gog shall be exalted, and his kingdom shall be increased. At first reading it would look like there is a mistranslation in the Septuagint until we realize that the kingdom of Gog is part of the "Curse of Balaam" LXX Amos 7:1 Thus has the Lord God shewed me; and, behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and, behold, one caterpillar, king Gog. The locust are coming from the East and one caterpillar, king Gog.

    Extractions: The figures beneath each entry give reference numbers for the Bibliography The Flood immortalizes the collision of a fallen Planet, later termed Satan, actually a cometary body, with our Earth. It is a subject of drama such as metaphysicians have rarely dreamed of in their philosophy. Historians write of the dispersion of the Aryans without the faintest idea of the cause which drove them in great hordes from their primordial homes to distant regions. As a matter of fact, anthropology has proved the correctness of this view again and again, showing that the white race never originally entered Europe from Asia. In such circumstances we should open our minds to the facts and realize that the ancient civilization of Ur of the Chaldeans, of the Egyptians, the Phoenicians and the Greeks in its origins must have emanated from the north, where they can and should be traced to their true habitats. This is my endeavour, and to throw a new light on the great achievements of our remote ancestors, and thus to restore Britain to the proud position she may claim as the real motherland of world civilization, the heart of a once great Celtic Empire which taught the world.'
