Roper's *JANUS* effect [AA]
art
"It will be seen that the eyes are both drawn as right eyes instead of
the normal right and left. This was discovered some years ago by Lord
Brian, the eminent Harley Street Neurologist, who pointed out that the
angle made by the lids of an eye where they meet nearest the nose is
less acute than the angle at the inner half of the upper lid itself is
narrower than the outer half."
"The nose is out of alignment, as
the middle of the upper lip is under one nostril"

"The tunic, coat, or whatever the garment may have been called at the
time, is so strangely illustrated that the right hand-side of the
forepart is obviously the left-hand side of the backpart, and so give
[s] a harlequin appearance to the figure, which it is not unnatural to
assume was intentional and done with express object and purpose"
....................................................
<<In other words, the doublet is displaying the *JANUS* effect. One
half is inteded fo the figure facing forwards, the othe half is there
to suggest what would be seen if the figure's back were turned away.>>

<<The first letter of the novel _Ulysses_ is *S* . In the Random
House Modern Library edition (1961) the *S* fills all of page 2.
Similarly, the letters *M* and *P* (pp. 54 & 612, respectively)
open the book's 2nd & 3rd parts. Joyce never commented on *SMP* .
It has been observed however, that in Aristotelian logic,
which Joyce studied under Jesuit teachers, *S* , *M* , & *P*
are letters that stand for the three terms of a syllogism:
(S)ubject, (M)iddle term, and (P)redicate.
The first two words of the book are:
(S)tately (P)lump. The *M* is given by (M)ulligan,
to whom both adjectives refer.
Note that the first section of Ulysses
opens with *S* and ends with *P*.
The third section opens with *P* and ends with *S* .
The middle section begins with *M* and ends with *T* .

"[A]postola [A]postolorum" is Latin for
"[A]postle to the [A]postles."
Mary Magdalene was first suggested to have fulfilled this role
by Hippolytus in his commentary on the Song of Songs,
because she received instructions at Jesus' tomb to go tell
the other disciples about the resurrection. This effectively
made her the "[A]postle to the [A]postles."
The actual Latin phrase "[A]postola [A]postolorum"
wasn't used until the Middle Ages.>>

Nexus Magazine, Volume 6, Number 5 (August-September 1999).
<<The Church held such enormous financial, political and military
power that the Grail adherents became an "underground stream",living
in fear of their lives at every turn. They were not only heretics:
they were singled out for punishment as sorcerers & necromancers.
And since they did not conform to papal dictates, Satanists!>>
<<In William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the Queen of the
Fairies is Titania, whose name represents the pre-Olympian god-race of
the Titans. In particular, she is the Moon Goddess Diana. Their king,
Oberon, however, had an historical base, being inspired by an ancestor
of Shakespeare's colleague Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford.
He was a founding member of Elizabeth Tudor's 16th-century Court
Poetry & Magic Syndicate - along with Francis Bacon, John Dee,
Edmund Spenser & others of the Rosicrucian "underground stream."
Edward de Vere was, at that time, Lord High Chancellor of England
- as had been many generations of his forebears, including Albrey,
the 12th-century Prince of Anjou & Guisnes, whose titular name,
Albe-Righ, meant Elf King. Despite their loyalty to Elizabeth,
the Syndicate knew that the House of Tudor had no prior right
to the English throne, having simply taken it, by might
of the sword, from the preceding House of Plantagenet.
That apart, the Plantagenets themselves were a junior branch of the
House of Anjou, whose senior branch was the House of Vere. Indeed,
in 1861, the noted royal historian Baron Thomas Babington Macaulay
described the Veres as "the longest and most illustrious line of
nobles that England has ever seen". Their ancestry was jointly
Pictish & Merovingian, descending from the ancient Grail
House of Scythia. Here was a true kingly line of the Elven
Race, and it was for this reason that Oberon (a variant of
Aubrey/Albrey, the historical Elf King) became Shakespeare's
King of the Fairies. Such was the translatory nature of
all Rosicrucian symbology, whether portrayed in stories,
artwork, watermarks or the Tarot.
Some time earlier, in 1408, Edward de Vere's ancestor, Richard (Lord
Chamberlain & 11th Earl of Oxford), had been invested as a Knight of
the Garter by King Henry IV at Windsor Castle. Also invested at the
same time was King Sigismund of Hungary, who had revived the
ancient Egyptian Order of the Dragon - within which Richard
de Vere held the hereditary distinction of Lord Draconis.
One way or another, the nursery tales which emanated from the
"underground stream" were stories of lost brides & usurped kingship
- based upon the subjugation of the Grail Bloodline
by the Church of Rome and, in later times,
by the sectarian Puritans of the Protestant movement.>>

<<The History of the Order of the Amaranth dates back to the time of
the Reign of Christina, Queen of Sweden, in the year 1653. Christina
was the only daughter of GUSTAVUS Adolphus (1594-1632) King of Sweden.
[The Order of the Amaranth is a fraternal organization composed of
Master Masons and their properly qualified female relatives.]
.
Records show that Queen Christina created the order of the Amaranth,
to honour the Lady [A]marant[A]...The Jewel was about the size of a
half-a-crown, (English money) or the size of an American silver
Dollar, it was made of Gold, with a Round Wreath wrought and enameled
like a Laurel, and in the centre two letters in the form of an A,
reversed, & set with a cluster of Diamonds. The 2 A's represented the
First & Last letters of the name [A]marant[A], and about the wreath
was written "dolco nella memoria" which means "sweet is the memory".>>

<<The Sicambrians, ancestors of the Franks, were known as the
*PEOPLE OF THE BEAR* for their worship of the BEAR-goddess
[A]RDUIN[A]. The word "[A]RCADI[A]" comes from Arkas,
patron god of that area of Greece, the son of the nymph Callisto,
sister of the huntress Artemis. Callisto's constellation
is also known to many as URSA MAJOR, the Great BEAR. The name
"Arthur" comes from the Celtic arth, related to "Ursus" - namely,
"BEAR." In legend, the Merovingians were said to be descended from
the Trojans, and Homer reports that Troy was founded by a colony
of Arcadians. The "Prieure documents" claim that the Arcadians were
descended from BENjamites driven out of Palestine by their fellow
Israelites for idolatry. "[A]RCADI[A]" was also known as the source of
the River ALPHaeus, the "underground stream" which figures prominently
in Coleridge's poetry and in esoteric literature. The Merovingians
were "sacred kings" who reigned but did not rule, leaving the secular
governing function to chancellors known as the Mayors of the Palace.
It was one of these Mayors, Pepin the Fat, who founded the dynasty
that came to supplant them -- the Carolingians.>>

Sicambrian Franks of the area and their Merovingian kings.>>
