Rosanne
"Draw not nigh hither," says the Lord to Moses; "Put off thy shoes from thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is Holy Ground"
"Well yes" I nod in agreement "Historical research forum is indeed Holy Ground to me........and why is this Holy Ground somewhat empty?"
I raced around the four corners and did banishing rituals just in case, I had previous bought wrong attitudes in here...and a voice on high came to me..
"Have you thought Rosanne- that it might have all been said?"
"All been said?????....is that you Ficino? Plato? Shucks is that you God?"
"No- I am the great Search Engine... I have great knowledge of theoretical speculations that have gone before....do not look for me, for no orientation can be established..I am an echo of great threads....and anyway things move on to web links and the like."
"But, but.. but.. I have many questions, even if I cannot keep to rigid Historical facts...(I whisper "speculations sir....speculations) like why Heirophant? Is it because he is an Heirophany? You know sacred manifestation? A Holy rock- still a rock but something different as well?
Or did those Renaissance Bankers play Tarot in their lunch breaks? Why did they chuck cards down a well in Milan? Has anyone found a script for the order of a Saint John the Baptist Processions? Did Paracelsus know about cards? How much did the gambling tavern man pay for his cards? Did women gamble in the Taverns? More Poems...I want more Poems to be translated...."
The voice came down again having obviously used his own engine to mimic Erasmus
"And so I'll say goodbye. Clap your hands, live well, and drink, distinguished iniatiate of Folly... try prodding them to post."
"OK......Hello..Hello...Hello is anybody out there?"
"Well yes" I nod in agreement "Historical research forum is indeed Holy Ground to me........and why is this Holy Ground somewhat empty?"
