Description

This one is the more "consistent" of the traditional mystic relics. At this time there are four objects designed as "The Holy Lance" (also known as the "Spear of Destiny", "Lance of Longinus" and other names). As model I've used the one exposed in Hofburg, Wien (Austria). Other two lances are more controversial and about the fourth (preserved in Vatican City) we have no more than a couple of rough sketches by a french voyager from the XIX century. The "Lance of Power" has been desired by so many kings and statesmen though centuries up to the the II World War and, probably, again in the contemporary age. It is a strange thing: this should be a modern and materialistic age but still so many peoples look for possession of this (and more) relic. No modern and illuministic conceptions and knowledges affects the mind of some peoples, especially if statesmen?!? Too much materialism is not good, but likewise wrong thing when mythos and mysticism prevail reality too. All we have to think about. My personal journey through mythos, however, will be continued in future. There are so many other legends and relics to investigate in the history of human king all around the world...

Very nice work! By the way: I just read that the Holy Gral perhaps is a symbol for getting back the paradise... To get back the "paradise state" you have to give up your EGO and be your SELF... Strange - it was a book about writing movie scripts! :-)

Yes but woe to those who loose custoday of the lance. I read about that years ago in a book called "In search of the Grail"...It was a fascinating read. After looking over your body of work I have to say your what my people (Cherokee) would call a "Dream walker". A dream walker is one who reaches into visions or dreams between this world and beyond to touch the cords of knowledge and hidden meaning. It is as much of a gift as it is a curse for those born with this special insite. The greatest challenge of a dream walker is always in trying to convey what they have experienced or seen to those of this world. I'm a fan :) /deepbow
