Simon Snow Trilogy Tarot Cards...

Ok so, a little while ago I saw this frankly stunning artwork by @vkelleyart and I started thinking about the Major Arcana archetypes and how characters from my favourite book series could fit into them.

So I made this list. It took a lot of thought and I’m still not 100% sure on some of them but I have explained my thought process for each card.

I don’t know how much crossover there is in the Venn diagram of “Simon Snow fans” and “tarot readers” but I’d love to hear your opinions and/or alternative suggestions (be respectful though, obviously). I’ve left “visual prompts” for most of the cards explaining what they looked like in my imagination and if anyone wants to draw any of these (or their own alternative version!) please tag me; it would make my day! I can’t draw for toffee so I am 1000% never gonna try to illustrate any of them myself.

List under the cut because it is loooong.

Spoilers ahead for the whole series!

0 The Fool - Shepard - Shepard just follows magickal creatures around and says “yes” to everything... he is the pure embodiment of the Fool archetype to me; care-free, innocent... prepared for everything and yet totally clueless. Visual prompt: Shepard about to (attempt to) step into the fog as he follows a fairy into the forest.

1 The Magician - Penelope - “Penelope Bunce is a fierce magician, I don’t mind saying” Baz, at least once in each book. Penny never worries about not having the power or words available to do whatever she wants; she is comfortable in her power and it is always there, ready to be wielded however she sees fit. Visual prompt: Penny wearing her Stevie Nicks cape, standing by a chalkboard in the classic “Magician” pose, ring clearly held aloft.

2 The High Priestess - Dr Mitali Bunce - Dr Bunce is possibly a more formidable magician than her daughter. Highly intelligent, straightforward and, let’s be honest, judgemental. But she does have all the answers. Visual prompt: Dr Bunce carrying around her laptop, phone sandwiched between her ear and her shoulder.

3 The Empress - Lucy Salisbury - Lucy exudes the nurturing, Earth Mother vibes that are central to the Empress archetype. She saw the best in everyone and all she wanted was to love Davy and live with him in their cottage with her chickens and their child. Visual prompt: Lucy, barefoot and pregnant, feeding the chickens outside of their cottage.

4 The Emperor - Lamb - This is one of the ones I’m not totally sure about. I went through a few different ideas but ultimately settled on Lamb as the “Vampire King of Las Vegas”. He is an imposing figure, ruling his city with an iron fist; if you are in his favour, Vegas is your playground, but cross him and you will suffer the consequences. Visual prompt: Lamb sits on an antique chair in his opulent suite at the Katherine, the lights of night time Vegas visible through the window behind him.

5 The Hierophant - The Mage - Again, this one took some thought and I’m sure some people will disagree with this interpretation... I’m not completely sold on it myself. The Mage was all about reforming the old traditions of the World of Mages and he amassed a following by doing so. But he turned out to be somewhat of a false prophet; abusing his power to oppress those he deemed “the enemy”. Visual prompt: The Mage in his Robin Hood costume, sitting at his desk at the top of the Weeping Tower, surrounded by his piles of banned books.

6 The Lovers - Simon and Baz - Obviously. As stated at the top of this post, I love @vkelleyart’s version of this card, but there are a lot of scenes across the series that could be used to illustrate this archetype. I personally always love to see the original “and then he kisses me” scene.

7 The Chariot - Fiona Pitch - I struggled with this one a bit and I don’t really think that this is the ideal version. But the image of Fiona, rolling up to Blackfriars bridge in her vintage sports car to rescue Baz from the Numpties really stuck with me so that’s what I went with, for lack of a better idea.

8 Strength - Ebb - Ebb is often dismissed and underestimated by other magicians but she is wicked powerful. But more than that, the Strength card is about inner strength, self control and the wisdom to know when to fight, and when to rest. Ebb is highly intuitive about the people - and goats - around her and is always careful not to talk about her twin brother, only conceding that she knows of his presence once a year and never giving in to the temptation to talk directly to him. Ebb saw the war coming and knew that she could probably end it all by herself with the power she had; but she also knew that she didn’t want that and she had the strength to say no, to eschew the expectations the rest of the World of Mages placed upon her and live quietly, instead. Visual prompt: Ebb in the hills behind the school with the goats, she wears a flower crown that the Dryad made her.

9 The Hermit - Agatha - the Hermit eschews the outside world in order to take an inner journey of self discovery, knowing that this is the only way to find real answers and achieve real growth. Agatha, jaded by the World of Mages, took herself off to California, leaving her wand at home. She didn’t know what she wanted but she knew it wasn’t magic. Visual prompt: Agatha sits on the beach at twilight by a small campfire, Lucy the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel by her side.

10 The Wheel of Fortune - The Crucible - The Crucible’s decisions, like the Wheel’s, are unpredictable and inevitable. Once it’s happened, you’re stuck with the consequences - sometimes bad (being stuck with a toff vampire who hates you) and sometimes good (getting the best room in Mummers house).

11 Justice - Natasha Grimm-Pitch - Natasha needed justice to find peace; her whole story is about justice. She was swift to act when the vampires attacked Watford, dispatching them without hesitation. When she came through the veil to find Baz and ask him to bring her murderer to justice, she knew that would also provide some closure for him, too, both for her death, and for his. Visual prompt: Natasha Grimm-Pitch appearing from beyond the veil, looking for Baz and finding Simon.

12 The Hanged One - Nicodemus - The Hanged One is about feeling stuck, but also about finding peace where you are when there’s nothing you can do about it. Nicodemus chose to cross over for eternal life, but he was stricken from the book; his (considerable) magic effectively taken from him and his fangs removed. He was stuck in between - not a full vampire, not a magician; he exists on the fringes of both communities. He got himself there and then he had to figure out how to get by, carve out a place for himself in order to survive. Visual prompt: Nicodemus sits in the tree in the garden of his mother’s house in South London, waiting for Ebb to come and sit on the empty bench beneath him.

13 Death - [scene on the Great Lawn] - Ok, so.. this might need some explaining. My immediate thought for this card was that it should be the Humdrum but Death is all about clearing out the old junk in your life that doesn’t serve you in order to make space for the new. And the Humdrum isn’t making space for anything. So I was thinking about times that has happened in the story and I thought about how the death of the Mage made room for real progress and an end to the war with the old families. Visual prompt: Penny and Baz (literally) run into a fleeing Agatha on the Great Lawn; the Weeping Tower looms in the background, the Mage and Simon visible through the blown-out stained glass windows.

14 Temperance - Simon and the Humdrum - Temperance is, as you might expect, about balance and harmony. Simon used so much magic at once that he couldn’t control it and it tore holes in the magickal atmosphere. Simon had to fill the Simon-shaped hole to restore equalibrium and stop the magickal firmament from collapsing altogether. Visual prompt: Simon kneeling in the Weeping Tower, pouring his magic into the Humdrum as he fades away.

15 The Devil - Smith Smith-Richards - The Devil is about feeling trapped by temptations in your life, often because we’re afraid of what we would do with the freedom we’d have if we let them go. Which got me thinking about Smith-Richards (that name never gets any less ridiculous) and all the magicians who were taken in by the temptation of “fixing” their magic. But it was a false promise and those magicians who narrowly escaped taking Smith-Richards’ spell were all freed from the idea of their magic being “broken” in the first place. Visual prompt: Smith-Richards (looking like the guy who would be cast to play Simon in the Netflix series) standing on a stage in the packed-out White Chapel, rapt audience hanging on his every word.

16 The Tower - The Humdrum - Originally I wanted to use the Weeping Tower for this card because the imagery is on point but the meaning doesn’t match. The Tower is about absolute destruction, the crumbling of something you thought core to your being. The Humdrum steals magic and renders magicians homeless because of it. The Tower is about having to start again from the ground up - just as the Grimms did when all the magic was drained from Hampshire. Visual prompt: The Humdrum, wearing Simon’s face, stands in the grounds of Pitch Manor, laughing. (I have always thought of the holes looking like a burn in a piece of paper - sort of glowing and smouldering at the edges as it eats away the atmosphere. I know the holes can’t actually be seen - the Normals would freak out - but that is imagery I would use here)

17 The Star - Lady Ruth’s candles - The Star is about hope and healing after the devastation of the Tower. Lady Ruth’s candles were a symbol of hope that kept her going when she thought she had lost her children. They provided comfort and, at the end when it became clear the Lucy was gone, the healing of knowing that her child had finally found his way home to his family. Visual prompt: Lady Ruth’s candles in front of a window, a bright star can be seen through the window.

18 The Moon - Agatha and Simon - So, the Moon is all about examining blurred lines between illusion and reality - nothing looks totally clear in the moonlight. It reminded me of how Simon never really seemed to have a clear view of his feelings for Agatha and what their relationship was. When he properly examined his feelings, he found that he didn’t love Agatha and was going through the motions because he thought it was what other people expected of him. Agatha was doing the same. It also brought to mind Simon, going out of his mind worrying about Baz when he was missing - as well as basically every other thought Simon ever has about Baz before Christmas Eve 2015 - and somehow mistaking it for hating him?? Simon is not stupid but sometimes he’s real dumb. Visual prompt: Agatha and Simon meet on the ramparts, both looking for Baz, and break up.

19 The Sun - Simon - This card is all about innocence, optimism and joy. Nothing about this series personifies this more than Simon flying above Shepard’s truck in America, feeling free and hopeful about the future for the first time in over a year. Visual prompt: Shepard’s truck drives through the vast empty desert, the sun beating down. Simon flies above the truck, joy on his face.

20 Judgement - Niamh and Agatha - Ok, this one was hard to figure out and this is maybe not the right solution, but I was very stuck. Judgement is about self improvement through self reflection. As a small twist on that theme; Niamh and Agatha challenge each other’s view of themselves and their interactions with the world around them. Visual prompt: Agatha and Niamh, sweating to death in Niamh’s “shitty Ford Fiesta” (I’m very salty about that line; my Ford Fiesta is lovely and it has aircon). Niamh is frowning, obviously.

21 The World - Simon, Baz, Penny and Shepard - The World is about completeness, the ending of a story, fulfilment and belonging. At the end of AWTWB, Simon has finally found his biological family, he is starting to accept that his boyfriend and his found family love him for who he is, magic or no, and he can finally start to imagine a future for himself. Baz has learned new information about his vampirism, Penny has found new confidence and Shepard is finally fully accepted into the group. Visual prompt: Baz, Penny and Shepard sit on Simon’s sofa (possibly still pink from Baz’s spell, possibly he spelled it navy blue again) Simon sits on the floor. They’re all eating leftover sandwiches and cake from Lady Ruth’s.

September 2022: On A Sunday Walk

Seen while walking...

Seriously? More wasted food rotting in the sun. For all the Fallout 4 fans, one of them was Salisbury steak and, based off the smell, you’d be lucky if 9 rads was all you got if you ate it:

The guy behind the camera:

I don’t know how long this area stays filled with water. I know after a rain that the excess water from here trickles across the footpath before heading downhill towards the interstate:

Caution - nature reclaiming in progress:

The hand symbol suggest these strange glyphs were left by Orcs from Isengard. Of course, it could just have been kids doodling in the concrete but how likely is that?:

It may sound odd but bagworms remind me of my paternal grandparents. When I was a kid, every Autumn, when the bagworms were infesting their pecan tree, they’d cut out the webbed branches & burn them in a bonfire. There is arguably no more satisfying sound than hearing a garden pest go snap, crackle & pop:

Seen in the yard of another member of the resistance. I don’t hold out much hope that Governor Lee will get ousted in the upcoming election as love of ignorance & a voucher system supporting it run deep in my home state but it won’t be because those of us who believe in good public education didn’t try:

I’ve seen a lot of flyers in my time but this is the first want ad I’ve seen for someone looking for GTA5 RP players for their Discord server:

May The Moon Shine Upon Camlann comes out in exactly one month! So here's the first chapter to help y'all wait :D

The forest floor caves under my feet, not so much solid ground than loose mass of fallen leaves and mud. Rabican doesn’t mind, of course; its hooves set on that slippery mess without leaving so much of a print. If anything is giving the horse trouble, it’s the trees; the deeper we delve into the woods the denser it gets. Not ideal for something its size.

I’m not faring much better. The ground is too slippery, the branches hang too low. Just keeping up with Rabican has me gasping for air.

Still, I don’t slow down. We can’t afford to.

For Estout’s horse to come seeking me, something terrible must have happened.

Rabican makes a noise like flames crackling in the hearth. (It’s always been prone to the strangest sounds. I’ve always assumed it came with the whole “supposedly made out of wind and fire” thing.)

I realize soon enough what caught its attention.

“... A wall?” Vines and moss have long overgrown the stones, so I didn’t notice immediately. But it is a wall, right there, in the middle of the woods. I look left and right. The wall barely reaches my hips, but it grows on each side farther than I can see. There used to be a fort of sorts here, I imagine.

Surprising, but not strange. Salisbury is known for quite a few castles, after all.

“... Estout?” I pick a direction at random and follow the wall. “Estout, are you in there?”

Rabican is the one to follow me, this time. It doesn’t seem to know where its master is either.

“Estout?” I turn left. Go over a root. Follow another wall. Go around a tree. “Where are-”

Blood.

I freeze.

Blood. Right there, on the wall. Bright red.

Fresh.

Fear seizes me.

“Estout!” That first stain is the biggest, but I can see more red ahead, some like drops, some like handprints over the vines. I speed up as I follow the bloody trail. “Estout! Where are you?! Answer me!!” Tap, tap, my feet on the forest floor, bam, bam, my heart pounding in my chest,

I hear Rabican take off before I see the figure laying among the rubbles.

“Estout!!” I jump over the remnants of a wall and sprint to his side. “Please don’t tell me you’re dead please don’t tell me you’re dead!!”

Rabican thrusts its snout on the side of Estout’s face, and he stirs. Okay, okay!! Stirring!! Stirring means not dead!! Not dead is good!!

I look down, and my hands start trembling at the sight. He’s switched back to his medieval armor, so I can’t see any injury. What I can see, however, is the shitton of blood dripping down the dented steel.

I really, really hope it isn’t his.

My attention is diverted by the sight of movement at the corner of my eyes- the slight twitch of his fingers. I look back up to his face. His face is scrunched up, struggling to pry his own eyes open.

“... Who…?”

“It’s Ilana.” I take his gloved hand and squeeze. He squeezes back weakly. “Your horse brought me here.”

“Ah.” He tries to laugh, but his breath comes out short. “Good… good girl.” His other arm twitches, and he winces. “I, my purse. I… I dropped it close. There’s medicine… please?”

I find it easily. A pink little leather bag, very cute. Very out of place among these ruins. By the time I bring it back to Estout, he’s already magicked his armor away, back into his civilian clothes. Striped tank top, knee-high skirt. Distantly, I notice that the colors match the purse.

He’s clutching his left arm. Without the heavy steel on the way, I can see his injuries more clearly.

The sight makes me pale.

Three parallel slashes, on his forearm. Three more, on the upper arm. Deep. Vicious. Blood pours out of them in rivulets, running between his fingers, staining the grass red.

Estout gives me a strained smile. “They, ah... took me by surprise. I didn’t… don the armor… on time.”

I kneel next to him and take off my shirt, press it against his wounds. That’s. That’s got to reduce the bleeding somewhat, right? I don’t, I’m, not a doctor, I just think I’ve seen a video about it a while ago…

“Ilana.” I turn my eyes back to Estout. “You’re, doing good, but… my purse, the blue box…”

Right! He said there’d be medicine in it. I keep one hand on his wound, and search his bag with the other. With only one hand, the box is a bit hard to pop open; when I finally manage, I spill a bunch of white pills inside the bag.

Estout laughs at my clumsiness, up until the pain cuts him short.

“Don’t mock me. I’m doing this for you, you know.” Banter is good. Banter is nice. Banter makes me almost forget that my friend is bleeding all over my clothes. I push one pill into his mouth. I wish I had any water to help him swallow it.

I check his wounds. I… think the bleeding has stopped? At the very least, it’s slowed down. That’s… good, right?

I quickly tie my shirt around his forearm. We can’t stay here. Whatever did this to him might still be around.

“Estout?” Ah. It looks like he passed out again. I curse under my breath and carefully move him in a seated position. I need his shirt for his upper arm. No point in treating one wound if it’s to let him bleed out from the other.

Once that is done, I throw his uninjured arm around my shoulder and get up. “Rabican?”

Obediently, the horse trots towards me. It doesn’t so much as flinch when I shove Estout on its back. What a good girl. I move to scratch the side of its head, when the horse thrusts its snout in my hand and drops something in my palm.

Long. Cylinder. Grainy to the touch. A boombox? “The Horn Of Panic?”

Aaah, that explains why Rabican came to me. Even Estout’s own horse wouldn’t stick around after hearing the sound that thing makes.

I slip the boombox back into Estout’s purse, then get on Rabican’s back as well.

“Okay, girl.” I gently pat its neck. “Let’s go home.”

Any Way The Wind Blows (Rainbow Rowell) – 4/5 stars. More arbitrary stars under the cut, and jot-it-down-as-it happens commentary.

5 stars for Simon, Baz, and SnowBaz. 5 stars for the Salisburys, would recommend for a long lost family. 4 stars for Penny and Shepard. 3 stars for friendship shenanigans. 2,5 stars for Agatha, my sweet summer child why. 2,5 stars for the non SnowBaz-related conflicts, because huh? 2,5 stars for plot, because how did we get here? ??? stars for pace.

Commentary

-Lady Ruth!! We have an uncle! Simon, let’s find Jamie! -Simon, for fuck’s sake, answer the man’s texts, he deserves that much. Break my heart with unanswered texts, why don’t you. -I know this must happen. I know they must separate and breathe. I know. But it hurts. -Where is Agatha? I need her and her not giving two shits about any of this, I’m overwhelmed. -I don’t want Baz to find Simon. Somehow, I think that’ll be worse. Leaving him with a note is the worst thing (well, second worst next to saying nothing, I guess). -Lmfao, never has art in a book scared me so. A wand? Is it Baz’s? Why is it bent? WhAT DOes It ALL MEaN! -SIMON. I love you so much, Simon, please, use your words, even if it’s to give him closure, a reason, something. It’s hard, but Baz deserves it and you deserve it, please, love. -This is exactly how I’d pictured Baz reacting to Simon breaking up with him. -“Use your words,” he sneers. (That’s right, that’s my boy). SIMON, you’ve just cut out my heart and stomped on it, ey. -I understand Simon, but I also stuttered out cries when he said it’s not working between them because he’s not a magician. Baz, I’m with you, I support you, I love you. -I love that Baz’s brain works sharply even as he is in distress. - I do believe they’re endgame, so I’m super excited to see HOW, after all this. -“I never thought I’d be the first thing you ever gave up on.” Bazzzz, my man, the shade, I love you! -I expected the breakup in the beginning so that we’d have time to build up to being a thing again, but oh man. I understand Simon looking at Baz and only seeing who HE isn’t and what HE lost, but oh man. -Agatha is the best, yes Agatha, bring us relief! -Oomph, I’m so sad. How do we fix this, Baz is completely broken and Simon completely lost and overwhelmed. -Is there an overarching plot? There’s so many things – the goblins, Fiona’s rummaging, the curse, missing Jamie, maybe NowNext. Who’s the main antagonist? -Honestly, I just want to read about fierce Agatha and splendid Shepard rn, everything else hurts. -Please remind me henceforth to refer to vampires as “sexy bedbugs.” Thank you, Baz, I’m with you, I love you. -I absolutely adore Baz’s relationship with Daphne and his siblings. I’ve loved it since the glimpses in Carry On. -I think Fiona is seeing Nicodemus, I’ve believed so even before picking up the book. -Simon Snow is on our door?!?! What’s happening, what is happening! I’m getting whiplash! I was not prepared, wait, help! -“This is our soundtrack now.” Omfg, I love Baz. -But damn, I love Simon, I love his voice. If it all goes well, I can’t wait to reread the book with the necessary peace of mind to soak it all in in its proper context. -Lmfao, Simon says, "I came to tell you something" and I am honestly scared to turn the page and see what it is. This is going splendidly. -Baz slams the door on Simon’s face?! I fucking gasped and clutched my peals!!! Oh M Y GOD. -“I never believed in us”??? I understand what he’s saying, but oh my God, why have you come, Simon, why are you here, this hurts! -The way they CRY differently, Baz more restrained and Simon just letting the tears fall and licking them as needed, I absolutely adore it. -Where is this going, Simon, we’re all crying, are you happy now? (I know you’re not, I’m sorry, I love you, this is just hard). -This part is really just me hitting the book and biting my hand and muttering, “We’re fine, we’re fine, we’re fine,” with the occasional cry of “RAINBOWWWW.” -Simon is saying I love you Simon is saying I love you Simon is saying – AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I gasped. So hard. Deep breaths. We’re fine. It’s fine. -I love this “trying” so much. I love my boys so much. -My heart is whole, my crops are watered, flowers are blooming, birds are singing, Simon and Baz are sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. -Simon is relieved that he’s still with Baz, I’m relieved that he still has wings, all is right. -“I just want to be with you,” I say. “And this is where we are now. I’m a broken-down mess, and you’re a rat-drinking monster.” Poetry. POETRY! -Shepard, you’re all I

need, these people are too much for me. -Reading fanfiction of what. Reading fanfiction of what, Penny. -Oh shut up, Shepard saved her chalks. -We should go to the Mage’s estate. -I love Simon. He has this pureness. -“Simon took the napkin, then licked the butter off his arm.” Yes, Simon, I love you. -Catch me at 1am making love oaths to Simon. Really, I can’t blame Baz, it’s just a Simon thing. -Omfg hold me, we’re going to Lady Ruth’s! -Low-key loving that the Salisburys and the Pitches are on good terms already. Love that the boys are hitting it off with Lady Ruth. -Smith-Richards is promising people magic? Oh. Oh, this took a turn. I have zero idea where any of this is going. -Okay, hello, I love Lady Ruth. -Obviously I’m more invested in Baz and Simon than in anyone else, but every time there’s a Baz or Simon chapter, I’m actually petrified at what might come. -Smith is shady, I don’t like him. -Baz really be serving looks in this book. -“I would have liked to have had you for a friend here.” Oh my bb boy Simon, that is so soft. -Oh shut up, Baz left a rose for Lucy. -WILL there be an emergency? Will Baz drink Simon’s blood? Why are we dwelling? -Simon, talk to Penny, my love. I know we’re doing the thing where you’re both recovering from your co-dependency, but seriously, love, talk to her. -Come on, Shep, kiss the girl!! Oomph, they’re so cute. -Oooh, we’re doing the deep cut, we’re doing Philippa, we’re tying off threads, nice! Also ouch. But nice. -NICODEMUS, called it. -Yayyy, the gang is reuniting. But who are we fighting? Who’s the antagonist? Why are the goats leaving? -Baz has a key?! Whoa, Simon! -Well, fuck indeed about your magic, Simon, but did you try calling the sword? -"So no one is cursed…” “Just you, babe.”Ahahahahaha! Sorry. -Will a goblin attack the flat? What was up with the goblin back at the beginning? -“Mmm,” he mmms. POETRY! -I’m sorry, Simon, you have a key to a hidden waterfall?! Care to elaborate? -Baz, my love, let Simon take care of you for once, it’s okay. He wants to do it. He can do it. -“I love you,” he says. “It’s good.” Awww, my bb Simon. -What do you mean immune to magic? What’s happening? -Oh wait, he’s culling the less powerful mages? Is that it? -I see you lying, Simon Snow. -Wait, but why is Simon immune? Is it because he’s a dead spot? -It IS a culling. -…What, that’s it? We’re just arresting Smith on a rooftop? That’s it? -IS Simon a dead spot? And if he is, does that mean that the magic will return? What does it all mean??? -But how did Lucy die??? -“y” S I M O N you’re a texting icon, I love you. -Baz, my man, I’m with you as usual, I don’t want the wings and tail gone either. -I have ten pages left and I’m hysterically hopeful and scared, with the amount of threads that are still loose. -But... a family sword? -Kinda disappointed that Simon didn’t get his magic back, but it’s a bold move, I respect it. -Agatha gets the epilogue?? That’s a choice.

SHAKESPEARE AND THE PRETTY SPEECHES OF A KING

@ardenrosegarden @amalthea9 @lioness--hart @princesssarisa @hmmm-what-am-i-doing @suits-of-woe @malvoliowithin @noshitshakespeare

I was once watching Brows Held High review of Laurence Olivier’s Henry V (1944), where the reviewer, Kyle Kalgreen, analized how it faired in the context of British World War II Propaganda Machine, as a Shakespeare film adaptation and in comparison to the Kenneth Branagh 1989 Film Adaptation.

There is a moment he pauses to analyze the most popular speech of the play, wich is the Saint Crispin’s Day Speech:

What’s he that wishes so?

My cousin Westmoreland?

No, my fair cousin.

If we are marked to die, we are enough

To do our country loss; and if to live,

The fewer men, the greater share of honor.

God’s will, I pray thee wish not one man more.

By Jove, I am not covetous for gold

Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;

It yearns me not if men my garments wear;

Such outward things dwell not in my desires.

But if it be a sin to covet honor,

I am the most offending soul alive.

No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.

God’s peace, I would not lose so great an honor

As one man more, methinks, would share from me,

For the best hope I have.

Oh, do not wish one more!

Rather proclaim it,

Westmoreland, through my host,

That he which hath no stomach to this fight,

Let him depart.

His passport shall be made,

And crowns for convoy put into his purse.

We would not die in that man’s company

That fears his fellowship to die with us.

This day is called the feast of Crispian.

He that outlives this day and comes safe home,

Will stand o' tiptoe when the day is named

And rouse him at the name of Crispian.

He that shall see this day, and live old age,

Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbors

And say, “Tomorrow is Saint Crispian.”

Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,

And say, “These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.”

Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot

But he’ll remember with advantages

What feats he did that day.

Then shall our names,

Familiar in his mouth as household words,

Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,Warwick and Talbot,

Salisbury and Gloucester,

Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered.

This story shall the good man teach his son,

And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,

From this day to the ending of the world,

But we in it shall be rememberèd—

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

For he today that sheds his blood with me

Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,

This day shall gentle his condition;

And gentlemen in England now abed

Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

(William Shakespeare. Henry V: Act IV, Scene III)

Beautifull. Powerfull. Lie.

Because, as Kyle Kalgreen apoints, while the Laurence Olivier had to cut it to make Henry V more simpathetic, the original Shakespeare text and the Kenneth Branagh Film Adaptation have this scene following the Saint Crispin’s day speech, where the young king reads a list of the english man who died in battle:

Edward the duke of York, the earl of Suffolk,

Sir Richard Ketly, Davy Gam, esquire;

None else of name, and of all other men

But five and twenty. O God, thy arm was here,

And not to us but to thy arm alone

Ascribe we all! When, without stratagem,

But in plain shock and even play of battle,

Was ever known so great and little loss

On one part and on th' other?

Take it, God,For it is none but thine.

(William Shakespeare, Henry V: Act IV, Scene VIII)

The death nobleman are named, while the death common soldier is just ‘None else of name’. The death nobleman is ‘so great loss’. The death common soldier is ‘so little loss’. Contrary to what King Henry V promissed, not everybody who died fighting on his name in France will be considered his brother, remembered and mourned by him.

And them later, we watch the consequences of the reign of his son in the Henry VI trilogy of plays, and in Henry VI Part III, our new protagonist gives this beautifull speech about the blessing of a commoner’s life while sitting over a molehill:

This battle fares like to the morning’s war,

When dying clouds contend with growing light,

What time the shepherd, blowing of his nails,

Can neither call it perfect day nor night.

Now sways it this way, like a mighty sea

Forced by the tide to combat with the wind;

Now sways it that way, like the selfsame sea

Forced to retire by fury of the wind:

Sometime the flood prevails, and then the wind;

Now one the better, then another best;

Both tugging to be victors, breast to breast,

Yet neither conqueror nor conquered:

So is the equal of this fell war.

Here on this molehill will I sit me down.

To whom God will, there be the victory!

For Margaret my queen, and Clifford too,

Have chid me from the battle; swearing both

They prosper best of all when I am thence.

Would I were dead! if God’s good will were so;

For what is in this world but grief and woe?

O God! methinks it were a happy life,

To be no better than a homely swain;

To sit upon a hill, as I do now,

To carve out dials quaintly, point by point,

Thereby to see the minutes how they run,

How many make the hour full complete;

How many hours bring about the day;

How many days will finish up the year;

How many years a mortal man may live.

When this is known, then to divide the times:

So many hours must I tend my flock;

So many hours must I take my rest;

So many hours must I contemplate;

So many hours must I sport myself;

So many days my ewes have been with young;

So many weeks ere the poor fools will ean:

So many years ere I shall shear the fleece:

So minutes, hours, days, months, and years,

Pass’d over to the end they were created,

Would bring white hairs unto a quiet grave.

Ah, what a life were this! how sweet! how lovely!

Gives not the hawthorn-bush a sweeter shade

To shepherds looking on their silly sheep,

Than doth a rich embroider’d canopy

To kings that fear their subjects’ treachery?

O, yes, it doth; a thousand-fold it doth.

And to conclude, the shepherd’s homely curds,

His cold thin drink out of his leather bottle.

His wonted sleep under a fresh tree’s shade,

All which secure and sweetly he enjoys,

Is far beyond a prince’s delicates,

His viands sparkling in a golden cup,

His body couched in a curious bed,

When care, mistrust, and treason waits on him.

(William Shakespeare. Henry VI Part III: Act II, Scene V)

Also a beautifull and powerfull speech, if a bit revealing of a romanticized view of the poverty that Henry VI never lived. And also a lie, or, at least, a half truth for Henry VI himself.

By contrast to the Molehill Speech, here is the dialogue exchange between him and two keepers, in the next act:

Second Keeper

Say, what art thou that talk'st of kings and queens?

Henry VI

More than I seem, and less than I was born to: A man at least, for less I should not be; And men may talk of kings, and why not I?

Second Keeper

Ay, but thou talk'st as if thou wert a king.

Henry VI

Why, so I am, in mind; and that's enough.

Second Keeper

But, if thou be a king, where is thy crown?

Henry VI

My crown is in my heart, not on my head; Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, Nor to be seen: my crown is called content: A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.

Second Keeper

Well, if you be a king crown'd with content, Your crown content and you must be contented To go along with us; for as we think, You are the king King Edward hath deposed; And we his subjects sworn in all allegiance Will apprehend you as his enemy.

Henry VI

But did you never swear, and break an oath?

Second Keeper

No, never such an oath; nor will not now.

Henry VI

Where did you dwell when I was King of England?

Second Keeper

Here in this country, where we now remain.

Henry VI

I was anointed king at nine months old; My father and my grandfather were kings, And you were sworn true subjects unto me: And tell me, then, have you not broke your oaths?

First Keeper.

No; For we were subjects but while you were king.

Henry VI

Why, am I dead? do I not breathe a man Ah, simple men, you know not what you swear! Look, as I blow this feather from my face, And as the air blows it to me again, Obeying with my wind when I do blow, And yielding to another when it blows, Commanded always by the greater gust; Such is the lightness of you common men.

(William Shakespeare. Henry VI Part III: Act III, Scene I)

We can perceive here a condescending tone that King Henry VI has when he talks with two members of the people. He is surprised to see that they don’t believe in a divine right that gives him a “natural kingly aura”. They don’t see him as a superior, wise and benevolent saviour, but only as a man who once weared a crown, but now, without the crown, they don’t have any obligation to obey him.

And Henry VI can’t accept that.

Later, he is rescued by Clifford, Warwick and Clarence from imprisoment under King Edward IV’s rule. And when those three man offer him back the crown and title of king, he don’t refuse it to live the simple commoner life he described as more beautifull in the Molehill Speech. He accepts it. Even if he intends to let the actual work of ruling to Warwick, Clarence and Queen Margaret, he still wants the sense of superiority, the privileges and the confortable life offered by the title of king that he grew accustomed to since he was nine months old.

By justaposing those speeches and scenes, Shakespeare pulls us of the rug in our view of those two characters, who want the people to believe they are good, heroic and chivalrous kings, anointed by God himself, when in reality what anoints them is their money and their armies.

Intentionally or not, with those plays, Shakespeare was at the same being a precursor and subvertor of the Relatable Royal Trope, showing that those people with the title of kings are like us... but not really.

They feel sadness, fear, anger, love, envy and jealousie like us, but they are more rich, powerfull and privileged then us.And they don’t really want to renounce that power, because it will take away their sense of being superior to us.

To paraphrase Kyle Kalgreen:

Beware pretty speeches

(Kyle Kalgreen. Brows Held High: This Day is Called the Feast of Crispian, a review of Laurence Olivier’s Henry V. October 26th, 2018)

Specially if they come from a person that wears the crown of a king.

Only With You: a Between the Lines fic

Rating: Explicit

Words: 6700

Summary: Dev & Niall ring in the new year together as always, with a little something extra. (Takes place after chapter 18 of Between the Lines)

A/N: Hey y'all!

Uhhh, I'm back with another DeNiall fic. (Here's the first, in case you missed it.) Because they wouldn't leave me alone. Also it's Star Wars Day today, so it felt right to honor Dev in this way. I really, really wanted to have next chapter of BTL out today—today's its first birthday!!!—but alas. So here's a little something set in that 'verse instead.

Honestly, the support I've gotten for DeNiall in this 'verse has been unreal, & I don't know how to properly thank y'all for that. So...porn.

Hope y'all enjoy!

Thanks as always to @warriorbeeofthesea & @f-ing-ruthless-baz for the support & beta help. Thank you as well to @pipsqueakparker for betaing & & for the fervent DeNiall support 💜🙏🏼💜

DEV

"Wonder how B's faring," Niall says.

He's stood there, the moon casting shadows from the trees on his skin as he blows smoke from his petrol station cigar. (This is what we do on New Year's: go out to the woods to get trolleyed and smoke. Used to be I'd nick some of my dad's cigars and alcohol—top-shelf sort of thing—but we're old enough to buy our own shit now.) (Pretty sure Dad knew, anyway.) (I thought about nicking stuff tonight, for old time’s sake. Then I decided I’ve fucked with him enough for one visit.) (Really, I vacillated between thinking it’d be a shit idea and a good one. Like maybe it'd—I don’t know—instill a sense of normalcy or something.)

I take a sip of cider, then swirl what’s left around inside the can. (I honestly didn’t think I’d be up for drinking tonight. Not after I spent the start of this trip legless and chundering into Daphne’s rose bushes. My appetite’s back, though, and so’s my taste for alcohol, apparently. Also it’s tradition. Or I guess we’re making it tradition. Three years, now.) "Getting some, hopefully," I say.

Niall taps my boot with his. "You're worried about him."

I cut my eyes to him. Fuck, but he’s a vision. I know I get on Baz for his smoking all the time, but there’s something about seeing Niall do it. Just once a year. I feel like that bloke from that vine. Wow. "Darling, it'll be a cold day in hell if I ever stop worrying about Baz bloody Pitch."

I’m not worried about Baz, not exactly. Salisbury’s a good bloke; he’ll take care of him. I’m more worried Baz won’t take care of Baz, but that’s always. And I’m more focused on Niall than I am Baz at the moment, anyway.

We’ve only kissed since the other night at mine. Also we’ve had some questionable—and titillating—phone conversations. Some even more questionable—and titillating—texts, probably, which mostly just had him worried I’d accidentally sext the group chat. (His fears weren’t unfounded, and Baz nearly blew his stack, I think.)

Anyway, we’ve only kissed since. Since. Which is fine. I’ve just spent the last few nights longing for my dorm and whacking it to my beautiful memories.

I’ve got hope for tonight. Immeasurable hope. We’re alone. In the woods. A little tipsy. Also my arse looks smashing in these jeans, if I do say so myself.

I tap his boot with mine as I finish off my cider and crumple the can. Toss it to the ground (I'll pick it up later). "Don't want to talk about Baz, anyway."

I'd much rather talk about the possibility of getting off with you just now…

I wonder if he can see the way I’m staring at his mouth. The way his lips keep curling around the cigar…

It’s doing things to me.

“Do you want to talk at all?” Niall says, flicking ash.

I raise an eyebrow at him and glance down at his mouth again. He huffs through his nose, little swirls of steam rising on the air.

Then he sets the cigar against his lips, and pulls, and then pulls me to him by the back of my neck. Our mouths’re just barely touching as he gives me the smoke, as I take it, as it fills me, and I let it go…

There’s not much of a drug in a petrol station cigar, but it’s still absolutely fucking intoxicating. Like I finally know what’s meant by that saying, going weak in the knees . Leave it to Niall fucking Sheridan to have me bloody swooning, Jesus.

A perfect Match

Note: I am so sorry for the long absence. It's been what? almost a month now. My schedule is a bit under control again so I'm hoping to do regular updates from now on.

Summary: In a world where those with magic are matched by fate, Baz and Simon are two idiots that can’t see what’s right in front of them.

Oh, and there’s a group of mages that’s not too happy about Natasha Pitch’s new leniency toward magical ‘infected’ creatures.

Creatures like Baz and Simon. (Someone help these poor boys)

Part 1, Part 2, ao3

Chapter 3: Saviour

BAZ

The party is starting to get into full swing when I turn around from talking to my uncle and spot him.

Simon.

For a second, I freeze but then shake it off. It would be unbecoming of a Pitch heir.

Despite my better judgment, I watch him out of the corner of my eye. He's a little softer than I last saw him. Rounder. Messier. But still lovely.

Back at Watford, Simon had been training in the guard, had been one of their finest. After he had been infected, they had kicked him out. A ridiculous action considering his power and talent but prejudice and bigotry didn't die easy. It hadn't kept him flourishing though. He had gone to university and wan now in his third year, like me.

He had, however, given up his strict training regime, evident from his rounder physique.

Merlin and Morgana, I want to touch him.

I wasn't ready to be this close to him. Hadn't expected to see him here after the last three years.

And yet, I shouldn't be surprised. He is the Salisbury heir and the Salisbury's have been pledged to the Pitches long before my family even became the head of this country's Mages.

Even if he would never inherit a seat at the table, his children certainly would and...

Yeah, no. Not going there.

I shake my head and move onto greeting the other guests. I must have lost my bearings for a bit because one minute I'm shaking hands with my uncle, the next I'm turning to the sight of Simon and Bunce standing in front of me.

And Merlin, if he isn't prettier up close.

No. No. Bad Baz.

"Hello Bunce," I say, extending my hand, "It's lovely to see you again,"

"Basilton," she smiles

"Hey Baz," says Simon, extending his hand as soon as Bunce and I are done

"Snow," I say, remembering how much it used to annoy him.

Now, he just smiles, "Still haven't let go of that one have you?"

"Well, it is your name, Snow,"

Simon lets out a warm chuckle and my heart does a little swoop.

What is happening here? Are the two of us having a civil conversation? Is this what adulting feels like?

"Well, yes I suppose it is part of my name," says Simon, "Also, if I'm not mistaken, I believe congratulations are in order,"

"Ah, yes," says Bunce, "Your twenty-first just passed, didn't it? I bet it was a wonderful event. The Pitches are known for their lavish ceremonies when it comes to the orbs,"

I smile at her, "Yes, my parents do believe in going all out,"

"Hmm. So exactly how happy was the event?" she asks, probably going for subtle but not succeeding at all.

"What Penny is trying to say is that we're very excited for you regarding this milestone in your life,"

And while it's a complete surprise to see Simon acting in a diplomatic way, I am glad he shut Bunce down. Orbs are a private matter. Only close family and friends are allowed to watch the ceremonies, no matter how big or small. Talking about somebody's orb behind their back is strictly forbidden and it is seen as slight to bring up somebody's orb to them without them bringing it up first.

Not that Bunce has ever cared for such things. Simon never did either but I suppose some things change. Or maybe he's just acting diplomatically because, well, it is a diplomatic meeting disguised as a party.

Either way, while I'm quite lax when it comes to talking about orbs and soulmates, there is no way I'm doing it in front of Simon. There's only so much my heart can take.

"Right," said Bunce, taking the hint, "Either way, lovely to see you again, Basilton. Simon and I should keep making our rounds. Have to make sure the adults can keep pretending there's no tension in the room,"

I snort and let them walk away. I'm about to head for the snacks table when I'm crowded by Niall and Dev.

"So," says Niall, "That was Simon?"

"Obviously," I say

"How are you?" says Dev, always to the point

"Fine,"

"Baz,"

"Really, I'm fine," I tell them, "It's not easy seeing him but I'm fine,"

"Okay," says Niall, squeezing my hand, "If you say so,"

I return the gesture, once again feeling grateful I had them. They keep me distracted for the rest of the night, laughing up old memories and making fun of the guests.

I'm so distracted by them that I don't notice the danger I'm in until I hear the sound of breaking glass and turn to see yellow flames cutting through the air.

There's no time to move. The flames are so fast and direct that there is no mistaking who the intended target is.

Me.

In the next three seconds, I'm going to be roasted alive in the presence of my friends and family.

Please don't let Mordelia see me burn to death.

Except, the fire never touches me.

The air shifts around and I'm being folded into something huge heavy by strong arms. I can feel the fire move over me, around me. The hat is almost unbearable but the fire itself doesn't burn me.

When the flame passes, the heavy fold around me moves away. I look up and gasp in surprise.

It's Simon. He's hovering in the air, his orange leathery wings gently beating, parts of his body covered in blue, silver and orange shimmery scales and his irises surrounded by a sharp golden circle.

He's beautiful.

For a moment, just a moment, it's like everything has stopped and we're the only ones in the room.

Then there's a crash and suddenly the various noises in the room wash over me. Children crying, people shouting and the angry yells of my attacker.

A few members of the guard have him on the ground. He has a fisted painted at the front of his bodysuit and my blood runs cold.

The Defenders.

When I turn around to see Simon's reaction, I realize he's gone. Looking further around the room I see a flash of orange at the double doors but he's too far away for me to do anything.

Instead, I let myself be pulled into the strong arms of my father as my mum fusses over me.

"Come Basilton," murmurs Father, "Let's get you out of here,"

I nod and let them lead me out of the room through a back door, away from where the guests are all trying to slip out.

"Mordelia?" I ask when I find my voice again

"With Daphne," says Father

I nod, "Good,"

"That boy saved you life," says mum

He certainly did.

SIMON

"Simon!" Penny calls out as I land right behind the Pitch Manor, hidden by some trees. Agatha is right behind her and quickly casts a spell to hide us.

"Are you okay?" asks Penny once they reach me

"Yesh," I say, "Yeah. I'm fine,"

"Are you sure," asks Agatha

"I am," I tell them, "I just didn't want to be around prying eyes is all,"

A year ago that might have been a lie but I'd come quite far in accepting my new normal. It didn't mean it made the staring any less awkward.

"Right," says Penny and then takes my hand, "Simon you saved his life,"

"Wow," I say, my actions finally hitting me, "I did didn't I?"

"Our hero," says Agatha, a smile on her face, "They'll probably want to thank you, you know,"

I shake my head, "Not tonight. I just wanna go home now,"

Both girls nod and Penny casts a glamour over me while Agatha keeps her spell in place.

"Let's go home, Simon,"

BAZ

Mordelia insists on giving me the longest hug of the decade before finally heading to bed. Once again I'm glad that my other siblings are too young to be part of the party otherwise. Mordelia is dealing with it bad enough as it is.

Daphne goes with her to put her to bed. My mum makes sure I'm alright then goes to make calls and meet with the heads of the other families.

It only leaves Father with me. He's puttering around my room as I sit on my bed. Moving things, picking up clothes, he's only using his action as a way to make sure I'm alright. He's not the kind of person to ask directly, especially since I'm an adult now.

I open my mouth to tell him I'm alright, that he should go help mum deal will the other families or help Daphne calm Mordelia down because there is no way she's settled down yet.

Instead, all that comes out is a broken sob.

Father instantly drops whatever he's holding and comes to sit by me on the bed. Pulling me into his arms, he gently rocks me while running a soothing hand through my hair.

"Someone tried to kill me," I whisper into his chest as the events of the night finally hit me, "Someone tried to kill me,"

"Oh, Baz," he murmurs kissing my hair

"Why? I just don't- I never- I didn't hurt anyone. I-why should, I've never done anything wrong," I say between my sobs

"I know, son," says Father, "I know. I'm sorry this happened,"

"Father," I whine

"Shhh," he murmurs, "It's okay. I'm here,"

I don't know how long I cry but eventually, I'm only sniffing and then those die down too. Once I'm calm enough, I pull away and look up at him.

"Will you-uh-will you stay here tonight?"

He smiles, "If you want me to,"

"Please,"

"Okay," he says softly, "Just let me get changed,"

I nod and sit waiting for him to come back. He comes wearing his pyjamas and holding a copy of Little Women in his hand.

I smile when I see and it and he returns the gesture.

"I know how much you loved it as a child," he says, "Even though I thought it was an odd choice for an eight-year-old. I figure it might help if I read it to you,"

I nod and we both climb in my bed. I lay down cuddled into his side and let his words wash over me.

'Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," grumbled Jo, lying on...

English History (Part 5): Iron Age

Iron Age (c. 800 – 43 AD)

From the beginning of the Iron Age, relations between the land and people were governed by an advanced concept of territoriality. This concept of territoriality had gained strength over the millennia – leaders & tribes were already firmly associated with specific regions, which can be seen in the boundaries and locations of settlements.

But this all intensified greatly during the Iron Age, and iron played a huge part in it. Gradually, new trade networks and forms of alliance were established. Ritual and ceremonial objects were made out of iron. The iron trade contributed to the eventual shape of England, as the various regions were becoming more intensely organized and controlled.

The hierarchical structure of societies also intensified. There were chieftains and sub-chieftains; warriors and priests; farmers and craftsmen; workers and slaves. Slave irons have been found near St. Albans (Hertfordshire), and a gang chain on Anglesey (an island off the north-west coast of Wales).

Meanwhile, funerary practices for the elite were becoming extremely elaborate. Iron Age chieftains were buried surrounded by molten silver, gold cloth, ivory, iron chainmail suits, and precious cups & bowls. One mortuary chamber was found to have trampled earth around its base, which suggests that people danced there.

Elite women's graves contained many ornaments, including mirrors, brooches and bangles, bowls, beads and tweezers. On woman was buried with a large bronze bowl placed over her face.

The Oxfordshire Mirror, from the 00s BC.

Because of the increased sense of territoriality, regional identities were strong. This can be seen in the types of settlements in various regions of England:

Eastern England – undefended settlements (similar to villages) among open fields.

South-western England – small communities in defended homesteads, and unenclosed settlements at a distance. This was likely a division between the tribal leaders and the ordinary people.

North-eastern England – defended homesteads.

North-western England – round houses known as “beehive huts”.

Wessex Culture (Salisbury Plain) – a pattern of large territorial groupings based around hill forts.

There are variations upon these themes, such as the pit dwellings carved out of the chalk in Hampshire (a county on the southern coast); and the lake villages of Somerset (south-western England), with round huts built upon floating islands of logs.

The hill forts of Wessex show that this society was strongly hierarchical. They probably originated in the Cotswolds (south-central & south-western England), and then spread over the whole of south-central England. They were a symbol of elite ownership, as they demonstrated the mastery of land and resources.

The territory controlled by each fort was often marked out by linear earthworks that served as boundaries. The forts became more heavily-defended over the Iron Age, and some of them were occupied for centuries.

These hill forts served as towns, not just forts. They had clusters of building and streets, temples and storage facilities, and “zones” for separate industrial activities. The circular houses were made of upright posts, woven together with wattle and sticks of hazel. Their doors & porches faced east. The roofss were usually thatched with reeds or straw, which was held in place with a daub of dung, clay & straw. Soot from the peat fires was a valuable manure, so the dung mixture (and thatch?) was probably replaced each year. The people had small cupboards inside their houses to store weapons in.

The populations of these hill forts were small, from 20 to 200, but they were the beginning of urban English life. It is possible that London was once a hill fort, with its origins buried beneath the modern town.

British Camp, an Iron Age hill fort in Hertfordshire.

The many small tribes of this period lived in a state of constant alert against their rivals. There were cattle raids, conflicts between warriors, and even large-scale wars. Some hill forts were stormed and burned; bodies have been found in the ramparts, with their bones marked & hacked.

In this sort of a culture, heroic songs & tales would have been sung & told to celebrate the deeds of individual warriors and/or leaders. Early Irish epics have such tales, perhaps containing stories & refrains from the prehistoric Irish tribes. A comparison with the Iliad can be made.

These tribes & regional groupings did have network alliances and kinship ties, however. Many smaller clans were eventually integrated, and became larger territorial units (perhaps because of danger). These were the English tribes whom the Romans would confront later.

By the end of the Iron Age, some hill forts had become dominant, and took on the role of regional capitals. The population increased steadily, and so agriculture became even more intensive. People continued to clear woodland and forest. The thick clay soils were worked with heavy wheeled ploughs. This was the foundation for the agricultural economy of England. They grew wheat in Somerset and barley in Wiltshire, and they still do today.

In 325 BC, the Greek merchant & explorer Pytheas landed on England's shores. He named the island as Prettanike or Brettaniai, hence why we have the name “Britain” today. He gave the land of the Picts the diminutive name Pryden. He visited Cornwall, and watched people there work and purify the ore.

Pytheas wrote about the people worshipping various Greek gods, but he was simply projecting the Greek names onto the native Celtic gods. The Greeks saw all foreign gods in their own terms.

He wrote of seeing “a wonderful sacred precinct of Apollo and a celebrated temple festooned with many offerings”. This temple was “spherical in shape”. Close by there was a city “sacred to this god” who kings were called “Boreades” [the Greek god of the cold north wind].

Iron Age art (often called Celtic art) was very intricate, with a mastery of artificial form and linearity. It uses spirals and swastikas, curves and circles. Its patterns are related to the whorls, spirals & concentric circles carved upon Mesolithic passage graves several millennia earlier. This suggests a continuity of belief and worship.

The Battersea Shield (c. 350 - 50 BC), a decorative shield facing.

The religion of England was Druidism. There were certain sacred places, including caves and sacred groves. Druids congregated in these sacred groves, with ancient trees creating the setting for ritual practice.

In a barrow in Yorkshire, dating back to the early Bronze Age, drum-shaped idols made of chalk have been found. They have what seem to be human eyes & noses. 2,000 years later, the British writer Gildas (c. 500 – 570 AD) wrote of these “diabolical idols...of which we still see some mouldering away within or without the deserted temples, with the customary stiff and deformed features.” This shows that there was a long tradition of worship that may have had its roots in the Neolithic Period.

The image of the horned god Cernunnons has been found at Cirencester (Gloucestershire), and images of the horse goddess Epona in Wiltshire and Essex. In East Stoke (Nottinghamshire), a carving of the hammer god Sucellus has been found. The mysterious god Lud (or Nud) has his name in Ludgate Hill & Ludgate Circus (London).

There were religious sanctuaries all over the land, and even the smallest settlements probably had their own central shrines. They have been found in hill forts, within ditched enclosures, along boundaries, and above barrow graves. Often, Roman temples or early Christian churches were built atop them.

During the Iron Age, it was believed that the rooster served as a defence against thunderstorms. This is why we have weathercocks on church steeples.

Human sacrifice was practised, probably in order to sanctify the land. One man was bludgeoned to death and had his throat cut before being deposited in the marsh in Cheshire (north-western England). In southern England, many skeletons have been found in the bottom of bits, flexed into unnatural positions.

Severed heads, probably believed to be the site of the soul/spirit, were also important. Skulls have been found lined up in a row. Often the bodies of defeated enemies were beheaded, and their heads either buried or placed in running water. 300 skulls have been found in the Thames, dating from the Neolithic Period to the Iron Age.

According to Caesar, the Druids (high priests) created images of wicker-work, which they “fill with living men and, setting them on fire, the men are destroyed by the flames.” The Druid priests were the lawmakers of the land – they determined rewards & punishments; and settled disputes over boundaries & property.

Pliny wrote that the Druids “esteem nothing more sacred than the mistletoe”. The high priests “select groves of oak, and use the leaves of the mistletoe in all sacred rites.” They tied the sacrificial victim to an oak tree, and the killers wore chaplets (garlands/circlets worn on the head) made of oak leaves.

The Druids practised divination, astrology and magic. They believed that the soul was immortal, and was reincarnated. The Roman writers considered this belief to make clear the native English contempt for death.

The Druids worshipped the sun and moon, and this solar belief persisted even after their demise. In 1452, a butcher from Standon (Hertfordshire) was accused of proclaiming that there was no god except for the sun and moon. The Druids' power was retained by the Anglo-Saxon bishops, and the tonsures of early Christian monks may also have originated with the Druids. Thomas Hardy, in Tess of the d'Ubervilles, notes that “old customs” last longer on clay soils.

By 100 BC, there were 15 large tribes in England, and they were coming under the control of leaders who were now being called kings. In the years before the main Roman invasion, Suetonius named Cunobelis (leader of the Catuvellauni) as “rex Britannorum”. Cunobelis' capital was St. Albans (Hertfordshire, southern England), and he controlled a large area north of the Thames, including Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Oxfordshire. The Catuvellauni were a fully-formed elite culture of warriors and priests, and its traditions went back to the early Bronze Age. Cunobelis is the Cymbeline of Shakespeare's play of the same name.

Territory of the Catuvellauni.

Territories of southern Britain’s Celtic tribes.

At some time during the 400s BC, members of the Parisii (a tribe from northern Gaul) settled in Yorkshire, where they created an archaeologically distinctive community. During the 00s BC, a tribe called the Belgae launched a small invasion, and eventually settled in Hampshire, Essex and Kent. The Roman name for Winchester was Venta Belgarum, meaning “the market of the Belgae”.

England's population during the late Iron Age was about 2 million, and by the time the Romans left, it would be 3 million. It was a flourishing, wealthy country, with a surplus of corn, which was why the Romans wanted to invade it.

The south of England was particularly well-off. In south-eastern and central southern England, there was a spread of settlements with extensive towns & villages, markets, industries, shrines, cemeteries and fields. Julius Caesar stated that “the population is very large, their homesteads thick on the ground and very much like those in Gaul, and the cattle numerous. As money they use either bronze or gold coins or iron bars with a fixed standard of weight.” The coins had the stamp of powerful leaders, and made trade easier between tribes.

The further north you went, the less there was of all this. This was because the southern tribes had been trading extensively with Rome and Romanized Gaul long before the Roman invasion. They loved certain foods and luxury goods, and were Romanized to a fair extent.

But they still had their ancient tribal ways as well. There was consistent warfare between tribes, and various leaders appealed to Rome for assistance. Large earthworks were built as boundaries. The warriors rode chariots to battle, and were naked, covering their bodies with blue woad, and having pierced tattoos. Caesar wrote: “They wear their hair long, and shave all their bodies with the exception of their heads and their upper lips.”
