~The Devonshire House Ball~

In 1892, William Cavendish the 8th Duke of Devonshire married the widowed Duchess of Manchester, Louise von Alten, whom he had known/ met several years before. Louise known as the 'Double Duchess' was a famous hostess and Devonshire House as well as Chatsworth became the focus of entertainment on a scale that had not been seen since the 6th Duke's time.

The Devonshire House Ball was one of the most extravagant and high society celebrations of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. Those invited to the Diamond Jubilee Ball (The devonshire house ball) came in full fancy dress.

For the Devonshire House Ball, the dress code was “allegorical or historical costumes before 1815”. This was used an encouragement to the guests to give their imaginations full rein for their costumes and, since it was the main subject of interest that season, everyone wanted to have the fun of keeping their outfits a secret while at the same time trying to discover what others were wearing. Guests were instructed to dress around the theme of certain courts, both mythical and temporal.  On the day the costumes ranged from goddesses, figures from paintings, and historical kings and queens, including the court of Elizabeth I, Queen Guinevere & the Knights of the Round Table, the court of Louis XV and Louis XVI of France and the court of Catherine the Great of Russia. Many guests took much time and effort with their costumes, and due to the popularity of fancy dress balls, there was a plethora of books and specialist hire shops on hand to offer advice. More than one guest, in their desire for accuracy (and to stand out) suffered through the evening with uncomfortable headdresses and props.

Attendance to the ball was strictly by invitation only but it is fair to say that anyone who was anyone was on the guest list were of high society. More than 700 invitations to the Ball were sent out a month before the event, although reports of the event stated numbers up to 3,000 guests. Most of the British Royal family were there, including the Prince of Wales in the costume of a Grand Master of the Knights Hospitallers of Malta accompanied by his wife the Princess of Wales as Queen Marguerite de Valois. Their son, the Duke of York, the future King George V, was dressed as the Earl of Cumberland while his wife, the Duchess of York, later Queen Mary, wore a costume as a Lady of the Court of Marguerite de Valois in deference to her mother in law.

The costumes were prescribed, guests couldn’t turn up wearing just anything. There were seven categories from which to choose; the Elizabethan Court, the Louis XV and XVI Court, the Court of Maria Theresa and the Court of the Empress Catherine II of Russia, plus the Oriental, the Italian Procession and the 17th century.

Louise Duchess of Devonshire Ball Gown

The duchess of Devonshire arrived to the event in A ball gown with an under-robe of cloth of silver, wrought all over with silver thread and brilliants, and with an over-dress of green and gold shot-silk gauze, embroidered to the waist with green and gold metalwork, decorated with jewels. A long train of turquoise velvet, embroidered in gold to an oriental design, was attached to the shoulders. A bodice of gold cloth and lace was fitted over a whalebone corset into which her waist was tightly laced. The headdress that went with it has not survived, but it can be seen in Lafayette's photograph.The dress was made for Louise, Duchess of Devonshire by the House of Worth to wear at the celebrated Diamond Jubilee Ball at Devonshire House. It was a fancy dress ball and Louise attended as Queen Zenobia, the warrior Queen of Palmyra. The Duchess may have got the idea for the theme of the dress from Inigo Jones's costume designs for Court Masques that are in the drawing collections at Chatsworth.

[noshitshakespeare]

Was there any female writer in Shakespeare's England that you know of?

There were indeed, though fewer than men. Here’s a list of the notable ones that goes from a little before Shakespeare’s time to a little after:

Marguerite de Navarre, 1492-1549 (French writer of poems and plays, her works were translated into English in her time)

Mary Queen of Scots, 1542-1587 (wrote poems)

Elizabeth I, 1533-1603 (also wrote poems)

Isabella Whitney, c.1540s-? (secular poet. Possibly the first professional female poet in England)

Mary Sidney, 1561-1621 (sister of Philip Sidney, respected poet and writer of closet dramas - which are grander things than they sound like)

Aemilia Lanyer, 1569-1645 (poet. The section on Eve in her Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum is often regarded as one of the earliest ‘feminist’ works in British literature)

Elizabeth Cary, 1585-1639 (poet, playwright and translator. Likely the first English woman to write a public play)

Anne Clifford, 1590-1676 (writer, mainly in the form of letters and diaries. A patron of the arts and very highly regarded by John Donne)

Mary Wroth, c.1587-c.1653 (niece of Philip Sidney. Poet, closet dramatist and writer of prose romance

Lucy Hutchinson, 1620-1681 (poet, translator and biographer. Her Order and Disorder is a highly religious poetic rendition of the bible which offers rich comparisons to Milton’s Paradise Lost)

Margaret Cavendish, 1623-1673 (philosopher, poet, and writer ofThe Blazing World, one of the earliest science fiction pieces)

Katherine Philips, 1632-1664 (poet, translator and political writer. Her depictions of female friendship are often regarded as lesbianic)

Aphra Behn, c.1640-1689 (playwright, poet, spy, political writer, translator and fiction writer. Probably the first professional female playwright. An extremely erotic and homoerotic poet who wrote a novella with a black slave protagonist. Basically too interesting to be described in parentheses… Which is probably why Virginia Woolf mentions her in A Room of One’s Own. You can see why I stretched to Restoration literature just to include her.)

Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon

On this date 121 years ago, Lady Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon was born. To celebrate this, in no particular order, we start with our first post celebrating the life of the woman who never imagined she would one day be Queen.

Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon (4 August 1900 – 30 March 2002) was Queen of the United Kingdom and the Dominions from 1936 to 1952 as the wife of King George VI.

She was the last Empress of India from 1936 until India gained independence from Britain in 1947. After her husband died, she was known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.

Elizabeth was the youngest daughter and ninth of ten children.

Her parents were Claude Bowes-Lyon, Lord Glamis and Cecilia Cavendish-Bentinck.

Her father later became the 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne in the Scottish Peerage.

Her mother was a descendant of both Prime Minister William Cavendish-Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland and Governor-General of India, Richard Wellesley, 1st Marquess Wellesley.

There is some confusion as to where Elizabeth was born. She was either born in a horse-drawn ambulance on the way to hospital, her parents’ house at Belgrave Mansions, Westminster or, Forbes House in Ham, London, the home of her maternal grandmother Louisa Scott.

Her birth was registered at Hitchin, Hertfordshire, close to the Strathmore’s country home, St Paul’s Walden Bury.

Elizabeth was christened at the local parish church All Saints on the 23rd September 1900. Her godparents included her cousin Venetia James and her Aunt, Lady Maude Bowes-Lyon.

As a child, Elizabeth spent most of her time at St Paul’s Walden and her ancestral home Glamis Castle, Scotland.

The Lost Book Of Saint~Denis

2nd Text Of The Manuscript BROTHER MARSHAL

Darkest Benedictions Of Satan . . . I am Brother Marshal, I am a Classical Satanic Reformist seeking to return Satanism to its former Unholy Roots of Devil Worship, Classical Demonology, Dark Witchcraft and Inverted Ritual Theistic Satanism. This Grimoire ~ The Lost Book Of Saint~Denis ~ is the culmination of my life’s work in this incarnation but beyond that the Work of a lineage of incarnations and the Work of others of this Ancient Satanic Path. When I was a young child I firmly believed that upon death one either ascended to Heaven or Descended to Hell for eternity, over the following years I have developed a skill already innate, the skill to recall past life incarnations, this ability along with research and conversations with many possessing this ability has convinced me beyond doubt that the Soul undergoes multiple physical Incarnations before moving onto deeper more Spiritual Realms. I recall many past lives but none is more clear or dear to me than the one I manifested into in France during the 1600s. I have long been drawn to the time of the reign of King Louis XIV in French history, to be more precise to the time which saw the Palace of Versaille, forged by King Louis, rocked by the scandal, bloodshed and Occult connotations of what has become known as ‘The Affair Of The Poisons’. A time of Witchcraft, Poisonings, Black Masses, Demonic Sorcery and Blood Sacrifices rife in Paris and working themselves into the heart of Versailles itself through a number of now infamous individuals such as the Poisoner/Witch LaVoison, the King’s Mistress Madame de Montespan and the defrocked Catholic Priest Abbe Guibourg. There were others involved too of cause such as LaVoison’s Daughter Marguerite, Adam Lesage, Marguerite Joly, Francoise Filastre and Marie Bosse. These people were a merging of upper class Clergy and Nobility and lower class Witches, Fortune Tellers and Poisoners which quite likely - although operating independently of each other - also forged a loosely formed Arcane Black Magick Circle. I have had many visions and memories of those times and upon reading the famous Satanic Novel La~Bas (Down There) by Joris Karl Huysmans a connection was forged to these certain aspects of French History that has never been broken. The times of Guibourg and de Montespan were the times of true Devil Worship, true Classical Satanism and Dark Witchcraft . . . blood was spilled, Hexes were cast, Poisons administered, Demons summoned and the most Unholy Rites of Black Magick carried out which were a merging of Reversed Catholicism and Classical Demonic Sorcery. In that life time I went by the Surname of Poculot, but names unfortunately are not something that come to me easy through Incarnation Recall, the recollections are more pictorial, sometimes even symbolic. In this life my name remains unknown for now to those outside my private circle, I am called Nemo by some (Latin for nobody/no one), but most know me by my Satanic Ordained Name, Marshal. In this life time I have been involved with studies into Magick, the Occult, Mythology, Legends etc for as long as I can remember, I have recollection of reading my first book of Roman Mythology at the age of six and was fascinated by the Gods and Goddesses of that Culture, particularly Diana and Mercury. By the age of eight I was delving deeply into Greek Mythology (a passion which has remained with me to the present day) . . . Deities such as Pallas Athene, Hera, Hecate, Zeus and Pan enthralled my mind and captivated my imagination. In my thirteenth year I came across and read four books which would change and evolve the direction of my interests for life, these tomes were La~Bas by J K Huysmans, The Devil Rides Out and The Irish Witch by Dennis Wheatley and The Black Art by Rollo Ahmed. The first three of these books are fictional pieces but the content within them left me with little doubt of where my path lay and started two life time passions - the Religion Of Theistic Satanism and the accounts of Guibourg and The Affair Of The Poisons. Rollo Ahmed’s The Black Art was my first factual Occult Book and over the following year I had absorbed another of Wheatley’s Black Magick Novels ‘The Satanist’ and three more factual Occult tomes, these being The Satanic Mass by T H Rhodes, The Black Arts by Richard Cavendish and The Lesser Key Of Solomon by Mathers. The Pathway forward had been set and the journey begun! Over the years it has been a firm intention within my mind to one day release a full Grimoire of Classical Satanic Magick, the sort of which would have been practiced by Abbe Guibourg in France during the 1600s and others of his ilk. This is to manifest here (published on Wordpress and Tumblr), the culmination of my Work shall reside within the Grimoire The Lost Book Of Saint~Denis, as to the true history and lineage of this Grimoire, that shall be recounted in the following text. Brother Marshal Black Cardinal Of OOTUS Servant Of Our Lord Satan Honoured Descendant Of The Lineage Of Guibourg 01/08/2018 (c)2018 Brother Marshal
