I've been in her place, now I am officially feeling the worst. It wasn't hard to get in with my knowledge of her and her work, yet I doubt anyone there cares much about others. It feels like we've gone back centuries and only watch our own backs. Entering her apartment felt like stepping over another boundary again just for some ghost I'm chasing. Which might be real. I won't deny that I have some clues that are...uhm, strange to say the least, and that don't add up with the normal explanations. I can't make up normal ones.

Transcript of the first and second page: The place was tidy, there were no open cupboards, no carpets moved, no desk messy. Even the expensive paintings were hanging at their places. Whoever was there and...murdered her wasn't interested in her belongings. It felt like she'd come in any minute to scold me.

Transcript of the third and fourth page: Her desk was tiny, only dust on it. Contrasting to the rest of her apertment the stains on the wall were dark, repelling and so out of place. I took a quick glance and then turned. I couldn't look at it again. This symbol above the floor though- I have seen it again. It's the same as at Werner's. Shouldn't the police have caught the murderer by now?

Transcript of the fifth page: I might have taken a few pages with me to answer more of the questions that have been piling up. I hope this is okay. I know they are personal belongings but I'm following a murder spree and trying to solve it. Maybe even clear Miss Croft's name if possible. I hope I won't attract unwanted attention though. What I took with me:

faxes of Carvier and Vasiley with photos of the Obscura Paintings and/or Engravings;

mails between her and a friend/colleague about the Lux Veritatis

diary pages, just some where she mentions Miss Croft and some things she found suspicious or strange

a paper containing books of "magic" used in Germany in the Middle Ages and

pages on the history of alchemy.

Think of that as you wish. I'm sure Carvier won't miss that and would rather help stop this killing spree.

Transcript of the sixth page: Here's the meat of this enty, the mail in between Carvier and a person named Fayolah. They seem to know each other and get along well, Fayolah jokes around about the mediaval chamber under the Louvre. She also knows Werner and went to a Dr.Jonessy for inquiries on the Lux Veritatis. He said that they were a council of the Knight's Templars (as I suspected) and absolutely anti-magic and anti-alchemy. The order didn't take in members but anyone with hereditary of a LV man was considered part of the club. Not sure if it's still like this today and if women were allowed, the Templars didn't have any. Their most important success was the murdering of Eckhardt which they refered to as "Black Alchemist". Additionally their weapons were Periapt Shards, blessed slinters of a talisman, which also could just be a hyperbole on their myth. She also claims the crypt could contain skeletons and suggests cleansing it with sage.

Then, she wishes Carvier to be safe and sound. There is another mail and more pages but I need a fucking break.

Fountain ~ The source of life ♡

A fountain symbolizes life, truth, change, and water.

Fountains and water sources have played an important role in the history and are essential to life.

Even water itself is the symbol of purification.

Every Easter Monday the Village of Biddenden in Kent provides the Biddenden Dole- offerings of food to the village’s elderly and those in need. As is tradition a Biddenden “cake” is also provided, cast in the likeness of Eliza and Mary Chulkhurst known locally as the Biddenden Maids. Born in circa 1100 Eliza and Mary were conjoined and lived until 34 years of age- donating their land to the poor from which this tradition sprang. Their likeness has been adopted as the village mascot and can be in many guises.- Biddenden England

Pontifical d'Antoine de Chalon, 1483-1500, par le Maître des prélats Bourguignons

A l'exposition Magiques Licornes, Musée de Cluny - Musée national du Moyen-Âge, Paris

Un manuscrit bourguignon de la fin du XVe siècle, enluminé avec talent par un artiste inconnu, qui travailla pour de nombreuses grandes figures de la région.

L'évêque Antoine de Chalon (dont les armoires sont peintes) apparaît dans les 6 tableaux principaux à travers des portraits mis en scène, spécialité de l'artiste.

Les animaux, monstres et hybrides qui habitent les marges, animent les pages.

Lethy geeks out over historical weaponry

(Alternative title: Swish-swish, b*tch)

Here's a quick photo report of today's visit to the Historical Weaponry museum, located in my city's former Arsenal.

The exposition includes European weaponry from Mediaval period onward as well local archeological findings and surviving artefacts from more recent periods in local history, and acquired items from Middle and Far East that used to belong to private collections. Alas, I'm not a weaponry expert, so I can't offer any meaningful commentary. But do be sure to check out the plaques I tried to include in the frame to help you find info on the items.

(Yes, I'm biased towards two handed swords, shut up)
