  "It is never the beginning of the story to say a child is born, nor is it the end to say a man has died, for long preparation leads up to every birth, and a death leaves behind it a power for good or evel that works on in the world for longer than the span of life from which it grew. In the case of those whom we call things saints this power is immeasurable. They are the true makers of men. Other great men may alter the material aspect of life for millions, for generations, but the saints make us for eternity. By emptying themselves, by getting rid of self altogether, they become the channels of G-d's creative power and by Him, through them, we are made. Not alone through them, we know, for every occasion in life makes us, and sometimes the touch of G-d comes directly upon us, but through them more than we realise."

  Pioneer missionary, papal representative, international diplomat & church administrator and patron-saint of the Roman Catholic diocese of Plymouth, Wynfrith of Credition was born about 673. Boniface became a monk in Exeter and, after studying in a monastery at Nursling, near Winchester (the capital of Wessex), went to preach the faith to the heathens in Germany in 719, addressing great and small alike, and converting tribesfolk, chieftains and kings.
  As the Pope's accredited personal representative, he negotiated with the Frankish court and crowned Pippin, the father of Charlemagne. He also founded monasteries, organised bishoprics, presided over several church councils and promulgated laws.
  He transplanted to Frankish and German soil the by then thoroughly Rome-centred Catholic Christianity that characterised the Anglo-Saxon Church. Within a generation, the Frankish Empire developed into a super-power and, in this new Mediæval world inherited from Boniface, Rome and the Papacy were clearly dominant.
  The Saint and several of his companions were massacred by heathen tribesfolk, while he was evangelizing in Friesland in 754. His remains were buried in the monastery at Fulda. He is revered as the Apostle of Germany, and in 1979, during his pastoral visit to Great Britain, Pope John-Paul II said of Boniface: "He was not just a great Englishman, but the greatest of all Englishmen."
  According to JOHN CYRIL SLADDEN's Boniface of Devon, Apostle of Germany (Paternoster Press, 1980), Wynfrith was born about 680 (date of the important Synod of Hatfield/Heathfield, where both Rome and Constantinople followed with interest deliberations regarding dithelitism/monothelitism - the former of which was favoured by the pro-Roman Bishop Wilfrid of King Oswald's Northumberland; Theodore was meanwhile Archbishop of Canterbury - Agatho was Pope) shortly after his parents, West-Saxon ceorls of King Centwine had migrated westwards by sea from the Axe basin to the valley of the Exe, control of which was still contested by the British King Geraint of Cornwall. Following the work of St. Birinus in Porchester in 634, many Celtic (British/Irish) communities transmuted into Benedictine establishments, and in about 685 one such small Saxon Benedictine house appears to have been founded in Exeter, although nothing remains of its structure. Abbot Wulfhand first welcomed the boy Wynfrith to this house one day before the end of 686, and at least one Benedictine knew both Wynfrith and his parents quite well as a result of meeting them in Crediton where a Cross had been set up. Following his father's recovery from a life-threatening illness which had confined him to bed, both Wynfrith's parents allowed him, when he was 12 years old, to begin life in the Exeter Benedictine house with a view to becoming a monk himself.
  Jakob Streit's brief account brings out several significant features of his life and work that are rather frequently neglected.

• 2215. RALPH FRANCIS KERR, Pippo Buono - A Simple Life of Saint Philip (London: Harrison & Sons, 59 Pall Mall, and B. F. Laslett & Co., 245 Brompton Road, S.W., 1904 or earlier, p. 176) - "Many of the Popes who lived in the time of St. Philip filled the See of Peter for only a short time, and two at least for only a few months. Thus it came to pass that he lived during the reigns of fifteen Popes, from that of the Florentine Leo X, whose brilliancy and cleverness were the admiration of every one, down to that of his own holy, humble penitent, Clement VIII, who took part in all the good works begun by the Saint, who joined with all the other Roman citizens in the great processions to the Seven Churches, and who used to visit them barefoot on his own account, to obtain the blessing of G-d on the Church committed to his charge. What a change! The difference in the ways of those who sat on the chair of Peter makes us realize more than anything else the change brought about by the gentle apostleship of St. Philip."

Worse still, whoever wrote the Preface utters the double falsehood that "everything comes from the authoritative source of all truth: the Magisterium of the Church"...

CARAMAGNO, The Flight of the Mind - Virginia Woolf's Art and Manic-Depressive Illness, with an Afterword by Kay Redfield Jamison (University of California Press, 1992, p. 195) - "Here is Woolf's repudiation of the war, framed not only as a political statement but in terms of subject-object relations. War is evil because it unleashes onto a real landscape what should be kept in check in the mind: the self-destructive tendency of Logos to dissect, regiment, and rationalize until feeling is dead, fossilized and meaningless. The falsifying fiction of a 'just war' imposes the depressive's delusion that hell is inescapable, perhaps even desirable, that the cognitive rules one must live by require a hell. War is a mental object as well as a physical one, and Bonamy's former objectivism is as much a violation, an act of war, as is Jaob's death. Both young men are casualities of the lopsided object-relations that make possible civilization's blunders and mass deceptions. Jacob's Room is not merely Woolf's pæn to her dead brother, Thoby, but to all 'dead' people, the citizens of nonbeing, paralyzed by convention, hoarded egotism, and disillusionment - to the world of depressive cognition in all its many forms."

Indeed, some AS individuals may be supremely gifted, but they also have great difficulties with relationships and with empathy. Most of us can 'read' situations to varying degrees. We have an understanding of what or how someone else may be thinking and we are then able to adjust what we say or do accordingly, but those with Asperger's have great difficulty in 'reading' other people. They are, in Baron Cohen's words, 'mind blind'. They also have a tendency to blurt out the truth - 'you have a nasty big nose' - because they cannot understand [one reader's comment: "not true; they can learn rules, but not flexible adaptation."], as we do, that there are some things that you shouldn't say. They are most comfortable when they are in control of their world and will seek to master every last detail of a 'system' because this provides predictability [same reader asks: "or is it just how they are?"]. There are rules and laws which govern how a system behaves, unlike people whose behaviour is totally mystifying [my comment, is that so?]. They flourish in professions like physics, engineering and maths, where their social skills are less important. Isaac Newton, Nobel prize-winning physicist Paul Dirac and Albert Einstein are all examples of supremely successful scientists who probably all had Asperger's syndrome... There are ten males to every female with the condition."

(From the Foreword by Dorothy Rowe, p. 17.) "Humility and skepticism should be the order of the day in all psychology... Psychiatry has not distinguished itself by fighting in the front lines for social justice and against human oppression. It is time this fact was recognized and the implications drawn... Exposing oppression, injustice and all the many evils of our times are subject to is itself a healthy activity. In fact, I cannot think of a better therapy than exposing the inadequacies of psychotherapy itself. Politicizing oneself by joing with other survivors in political actions is an excellent antitode to the powerlessness that psychiatry induces in its subjects. Becoming active in the struggle against psychiatry (and other forms of injustice) even in one's own mind, is a good alternative to the helplessness that psychiatry encourages in patients. Writing up one's own story, even if only for the instruction of other friends, especially is nothing is omitted, is to offer people the other side of the official story - and more of these personal stories are being published every year. Finally, becoming informed, the hard way, by active investigation is still the best way of exposing the truth." (From the author's Afterword to the second edition, pp. 310, 316 & 319.)

In the East liberation was elaborated into a fine art, but it may be doubted whether more people may not have made their escape from solitary confinement outside the organised religions than by means of them... Please be so good as to believe that there is nothing whatever mysterious about this matter. If it were easy, should we not all be Buddhas? No doubt, but the apparent difficulty is due to our conditioning. The apparent mystery, on the other hand, is just obnubilation, an inability to perceive the obvious owing to a conditioned reflex which causes us persistently to look in the wrong direction!"

The 'not a creature was stirring, bit of the poem does not apply to ghosts. Tonight they are at their busiest... It is not as much legend as leg-pull, but a commemorative stone in Kirklees Park, Brighouse, West Yorkshire, claims to mark the grave of Robin Hood who died there on this day in 1247. Its cod-medieval verse makes McGonagal blush:

  Hear Underneath dis laitle stean, Laz robert of Huntingtun;
  Ne'er arcir ver az hie sa geud, An pipl Kauld im robin heud;
  Sick utlawz az hi an iz men, Vil england nivir si agen.

Godine, 1977, pp.354-5)-

  "The father of Saxo's Amlethus was Horvandillus, written also Orendel, Erentel, Earendel, Oervandill, Aurvandil, whom the appendix to the Heldenbuch pronounces the first of all heroes that were ever born. The few data known about him are summarised by Jacob Grimm:
  He suffers shipwreck on a voyage, takes shelter with a master fisherman Eisen, earns the seamless coat of his master, and afterwards wins frau Breide, the fairest of women: king Eigel of Trier was his father's name... The Edda has another myth... Groa is busy conning her magic spell, when Thorr, to requite her for the approaching cure, imparts the welcome news, that in coming from Jötunheim in the North he has carried her husband the bold Örvandill in a basket on his back, and he is sure to be home soon; he adds by way of token, that as Örvandil's toe had stuck out of the basket and got frozen, he broke it off and flung it at the sky, and made a star of it, which is called Örvandils-tâ.
  Power... compares the hero to Orion:
  He was a huntsman, big enough and brave enough to cope with giants. He was the friend of Thor, the husband of Groa, the father of Swipdag, the enemy of the giant Coller and the monster Sela. The story of his birth, and of his being blinded, are lost apparently in the Teutonic stories, unless we may suppose that the bleeding of Robin Hood till he could not see, by the traitorous prioress, is the last remains of the story of the great archer's death. Dr. Rydberg regards him and his kinsfolk as doublets of those three men of feats, Egil the archer, Weyland the smith, and Finn the harper, and these again doublets of the three primeval artists, the sons of Iwaldi, whose story is told in the prose Edda.
  ...Some lines of Cynewulf's Christ dedicate to the hero the following words:
  

  Hail, Earendel, brightest of angels thou, sent unto men upon this middle-earth! Thou are the true refulgence of the sun, radiant above the stars, and from thyself illuminest for ever all the tides of time

  
  The experts disagree whether Earendel, here, points to Christ, or to Mary, and whether or not Venus as morning star is meant, an identification which offers itself, since ancient glosses render Earendel with 'Jubar'."

Essentially a work of fiction, this latter is inspired by Nurse Green's many years of study of Robin Hood in myth, folk-lore, legend and history. Her sometimes perceptive interpretation of problematic aspects gains in popular appeal from her many field-trips to various locations and neighbourhoods associated at one time or another with her perennially popular "Yorkshire" hero.

  "One other long-established character to the morris dance: the man-woman, came out of a parallel entertainment in the early Tudor May games, the plays about Robin Hood. From the beginning of scholarly investigation into the legends about the outlaw, it had been obvious that at the end of the Middle Ages he had been celebrated in these plays as well as in ballads.
  Two very different approaches to research into his legend were proposed in response. The first, by Joseph Ritson in 1795, assumed that Robin had been a real human being; the second, started by Thomas Wright in 1837, opined that he was originally a woodland spirit, or god, honoured in the May revels. This latter argument gained more support in the early twentieth century. Douglas Kennedy and Lord Raglan suggested that he had been the dying and returning god of vegetation postulated by Sir James Frazer as a universal focus of devotion in ancient religion.
  Margaret Murray, copied by Robert Graves and Pennethorne Hughes, hailed him as the high priest of a coven of pagan witches, representing the horned god of nature worshipped by the 'witch cult' which she believed to have existed in medieval Europe. Maid Marian, according to this view, was the 'maiden' of his coven.
  These writers made some impact, among folklorists in particular, until 1955, when the magnificent Barbara Lowe pointed out that they were quite incompatible with a study of the earliest plays and ballads. In these the outlaw rarely had twelve companions (making a coven), wore more colours than green, was a faithful attender of mass, had a devotion to the Virgin Mary, and died old and sordidly. Maid Marian did not appear in his tales until a relatively late stage, and Robin's medieval and Tudor representations were of a thoroughly human character, wielding the favourite national weapon.
  Medieval historians subsequently endorsed these arguments, and departed upon an exciting quest for the 'real' Robin Hood and an ultimately more practicable one for the audience at which his tales were aimed.
  As part of this work it was argued that the ballads seemed to predate the plays, the surviving examples of which were based upon them, and the latter were not studied in their own right until 1981, when David Wiles produced the standard account. He found evidence of them at twenty-seven communities between 1474 and 1588, most of them market towns in southern England, from Kent to Cornwall and (more thinly scattered) in the Midlands.
  They seemed to be missing from the northern counties in which the action was set, perhaps (he considered) because there it was too close to reality. He found an early occurrence of one at Exeter in 1427, and a very late one, at Enstone, in the fringe of the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, in 1652."
  p.271: "It is now known that the outlaw was already famous by 1262 and that the earliest surviving ballads were composed in the fourteenth century, most probably in its second half."
   
  Elsewhere in this same book its author has written: "It seems reasonably certain that behind this alleged holy woman [Bridgit] of whom no contemporary or near contemporary records survive, stands a pagan goodess of the same name. What is by no means clear is whether there was one goddess, or a triple one, or several, and whether there was in addition a real Christian woman of the same name with whom the deity became conflated." Professor Hutton's comments may make sense to modern readers, but in the context of the time when Bridgit walked this Earth they are, I suspect, utterly alien in their mode of expression, whatever the merits of their actual content.
• 2685. MAURICE KEEN, The Outlaws of Medieval Legend (London & New York: Routledge, revised edition 2000; first published 1961).
  On p. 234 of his Postscript, Keen, citing D. Crook, mentions that "Robehod" was already being used as a surname in 1262, and this in circumstances that imply that a story about someone called Robin Hood being a fugitive or outlaw must already have come into circulation.
  On pp. 232-3 he writes: "Professor Holt himself feel that there must be some connection between Robin Hood and the Hoods of Wakefield... The argument in detail rests on identifying Robert Hood, a tenant of Wakefield mentioned in the Court Rolls of 1316 and 1317, with the Robert Hood who appears in 1324 as a valet de chambre in the royal household accounts. Robert Hood of Wakefield, it is suggested, was outlawed for taking part in the revolt of Earl Thomas of Lancaster in 1322. Then, when Edward II came to Nottingham in November 1323, he came in and was pardoned, and was taken into the royal service. After this he served in the royal household for about a year, before returning to his outlaw life... There have always been a number of difficulties about this seemingly plausible piece of identification... the principal one being that there is no proof that Robert Hood of Wakefield and Robert Hood the valet were the same man, or that either was ever an outlaw. But a more overwhelming objection now arises because Holt, by subjecting a faded MS ledger to ultra-violet light, has been able to show that Robert Hood the valet was already on the payroll of the royal household in April 1323, before Edward II came to Nottingham."

She had told a neighbour that she badly needed money, so the friend took her to a sabbath where she was persuaded to do homage to the Devil. He had the form of a big, black dog; everyone present kissed his hindquarters, then the men copulated with the women, dog-fashion. They were told to take the Host at Communion, hold it in their mouths and, later, spit it out and trample on it. He gave them potions for making people and cattle ill, and told them to do all the harm they could. They knew him by the name of Robinet.
• This is one of the many instances in which witches stated that the Devil was spoken of by them as Robin, or some form of that name. Dame Alice Kyteler called him Robin Artisan, the Somerset witches called the chief of their coven Robin; and Puck, a deity of the Little People, was also know as Robin Goodfellow. Professor Murray remarks on the connection between the latter and Robin Hood, and points out that the legends regarding Robin Hood associate him with many places far removed from Sherwood Forest - for instance, Scotland. It will be noted that his band numbered twelve men, which, with himself, made up a coven; also that he was a declared enemy of the Church and took special delight in robbing rich abbots and priors for the benefit of the..."

CHRIS BARBER & DAVID PYKITT, Journey to Avalon - The Final Discovery of King Arthur (York Beach, Maine: Samuel Weiser 1997) - Although King Arthur wasn't buried in Glastonbury, King Arvirargus, a contemporary of the legendary Joseph of Arimathea, may very well have been, four centuries before. Geoffrey of Monmouth's insula Avallonis was Bardsey Island, not Glastonbury. King Arthur is St. Arthmæl. Cf. pp.279-83:

  "In Monasticon Anglicanum, volume III, page 190, from the ancient register of the Cathedral Church of Llandaff, is the only instance which occurs, in that register, of the name ARTHUR, so spelled, as the king of Gwent, son of Mouric, king of Morgannwg, the father of Morcant. Elsewhere, he is uniformly called Athruis, who was a contemporary of Comergwynus, a bishop of the See of Llandaff. It would seem that Sir William Dugdale (1605-1686) knew the true identity of King Arthur and it is a remarkable coincidence that St. Arthmæl is portrayed in a stained glass window in the Church of St. Mary at Merevale, the seat of the Dugdales.
  A certain duke of Arabia known as Stedman, who was a Knight of the Sepulchre, came to this country with Richard Cœur de Lion in 1191. He brought with him from the Holy Land the famous Nanteos Cup, believed by some to be the Holy Grail, and gave it into the safe-keeping of the monks of Strata Florida Abbey...
  There is a distinct possibility that the stained glass window portraying St. Arthmæel came originally from Strata Flordia Abbey... It dates from ca. 1500-1525...
  In 1523 Sir Walter Devereux was made steward of the household of Mary Tudor at Ludlow and Chief Justice of South Wales... In 1532, Sir Walter Devereux purchased Merevale Manor from the Crown..."

The true Avalon, Annwn, Afallach or Celtic Otherworld is equated with Gwynedd, within which Glaestingaburh is then located in the Eglwyseg Valley between Dogfeiling and Llangollen. Both King Arthur and Saint Collen appear much more at home when their legends are linked to place-names and natural locations in this region.

  As the last Avalonian, or so she felt (since, in her view, much that had been, was no more), she quite explicitly noted that Glastonbury has two distinct legends - that of the Cup, and that of the Sword: the Grail and Excalibur.

  Adds, on pp. 51-3:"In his work New Light on the Ancient Mystery of Glastonbury, John Michell presents a splendid case for the continuation at Glastonbury of a mystical tradition of remote antiquity, and indeed one that originated from a heavenly source...
  This 'sacred mystery', Michell argues, was maintained in the new church. It is found in all architectural traditions able to invoke the sacred source. It is not exclusive to any religion. Thus it is found in the design of Stonehenge as well as in Indian and Japanese temples. According to the Knights Templar and their fellow Masons, the prototype for the mystical pattern lay in the ancient temples of Egypt and, above all, in the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. It is really the quest of John Michell and others like him - including the Masonic fraternity - to recover the exact order of this pattern, to recreate it and so make the earthly order a mirror of the heavenly...
  To the Neo-Platonic statement of Mr. Michell: 'The ideal pattern is ready-made and comes from above. It enters the mind as archetype which takes shape as symbol, and thence it descends down the scale of human consciousness into the sphere of concrete reality. It is not invented but invoked.' The author replies: 'The ideal pattern is constantly emerging and comes from within. It enfolds and unfolds through mind and nature in a never-ending play of form, and thence is immanent within human consciousness and the universe. It is not invented but enacted.' The difference being while in the first instance the sacred order of the Isle of Avalon is a matter of maintaining union with the heavenly order, in the second instance the natural order of the Isle of Avalon IS the sacred order."

Even if St. Paul & Simon Zelotes did visit Joseph of Arimathæa in what is now Glastonbury [but where is Glastonbury?], his was no more than "a rushlight mission" surrounded by darkness (p.7). The life-style of those disciples of The Lord in that area then, persons whom we in retrospect may identify as 'Christians' or 'Celtic Christians' or 'Pelagians', like that of Pelagius (Morgan) himself, would have been condemned by the urbanely cultivated but pastorally (in the root sense of that term) ignorant St. Augustine as "heretical" because "Pelagian" because, as Marson expresses it, they "denied heredity and the social nexus" - obviously, without ever having or needing any such concepts (p.9)! When St Patrick arrived in Glastonbury he found only twelve orthodox Catholics in residence there (p.10).

  "It will be a fitting conclusion to our subject to investigate some of the many instances in which the memory of St. Bridgit is preserved in the West Country. It is a matter possessing many points of interst. She was known also as San Ffread. this apparently was not a personal name, but the hereditary title of a high-priestess of Druidism... If, in her pagan life, she was held to possess any special gifts or miraculous powers, these would quite probably in popular estimation be still attributed to her afterwards, though transferred by those around her to the category of Christian attributes and virtues connected with her new faith. And in the minds of many, the old title 'San Ffread' would very naturally be retained, even if in a new aspect...
  There can be no question that the name of Bridgwater came to be applied to the site where the modern town now stands at the same period that other places in the neighbourhood connected with St. Bridgit came to get their names: Highbridge and Axbridge, for example. This was in very primitive times, long before there was any township, but only some small community, probably settled round a shrine, or cell, or religious foundation of sorts, where the scanty inhabitants gathered for their worship...
  The idea that this early Christianity was swept away by the Saxon Conquest is shown to be a complete mistake. On the contrary, when after several hundred years of peaceful existence, and as we amay believe of useful activity, according to the lights of those days, the Celtic Church passed under the rule of the Saxon Conquerors (after A.D. 710), they had by that time themselves become Christian; and though, doubtless, there was still some antipathy between the races, the religious opposition was not between Paganism and Christianity, but only between the different aspects of Christianity represented respectively by the teaching of St. Patrick or St. Augustine. We are fully aware that the forms and methods of Latin Christianity eventually absorbed or superseded those in vogue amongst the earlier British community. But is is only right to recognise that the earlier practice was none the les truly Catholic in its essentials, though in various details not approved in the form of its presentation by those who entered upon its inheritance..."

Moreover, any surviving evidence of an early conversion to Christianity of what is now Somerset is both slight and debatable. The CHI-RHO cross found below, not above, the pelvis of the skeleton of a human male dates from the 4th or 5th century, not earlier.

  "At Glastonbury... the Chilk Well began life as an innocent chalybeate spring built into a well to supply the Abbey reredorter after the fire of 1184. It did this equally innocent job until its services were no longer required for the purpose. Then, in 1750, Matthew Chancellor of North Wootton, an asthmatic, dreamed of being cured at a spring in Glastonbury; a figure told him to drink of the water which 'comes out of the holy ground where many saints and martyrs are buried' secretly for seven Sunday mornings (for the Seven Days of Creation) and then announce the miracle to the world. By May 1751 the spring was receiving 10,000 visitors, though it was 'no more than a spring of common fair water, possessing no medical properties whatever; ... the whole story was designedly trumped up with a view of bringing custom to the town'. The original well soon became kitted out with a subterranean bath-chamber. It is, of course, the Chalice Well..."

  Kelley's value to Dee was not a matter of character. The flaws in his nature were in fact evidence of his strengths as a skryer. An effective medium needs to be like a child or even an animal: instinctive, volatile, highly sensitive to his surroundings, and unconstrained by intellect or experience."

A communist secretary to President Roosevelt during the Yalta negotations inclined him to prefer Joseph Stalin's wishes to Winston Churchill's, and this latter may only reluctantly have colluded in the transportation of Tito to Jugoslavia by submarine so that he might, once the coast was clear, be free to seize and restructure it - as he all too disastrously did..."

But 'necrophilia' and 'vampirism' are terms which often overlap and are used to describe the activities of the living who become sexually aroused by corpses - including the sucking of blood from the dead... Many of the so-called signs of a vampire will be recognised as natural post-mortem phenomena... The groan of the vampire as he was staked through the heart was due to the forcible expulsion of gas from the chest cavity out through the mouth."
