Amulet-ring
engraved silver
Possibly owned by the Duke of Weymouth
17th century England
The British Museum

Text from Dalton 1912, Catalogue of Finger Rings:
'The names in the interior are those of angels. Silver was the "metal of the Moon", and this ring was probably considered to possess special virtues as a lunar amulet. The characters are analogous to those on magic tablets, and includes the names of Sadayel, Raphael, and Tiriel.

Armored gloves owned by Maximilian I (1459-1519) who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1508 until his death.

Charles V - grandson of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I - probably brought this remarkable pair of gauntlets to Spain after he abdicated his offices in the 1550s and elected to spend the remainder of his life in a monastery.

" The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms.”

There are bones
waiting for names in the graveyards.

Even the sun above us is dying, one
landed repetition of light at a time.

O people of the earth, men and women born and made of the elements, but with the spirit of the Divine within you, rise from your sleep of ignorance! Be sober and thoughtful. Realize that your home is not on the earth but in the Light. Why have you delivered yourselves unto death, having power to partake of immortality?
