I'm currently looking at the Godescalc Evangelistary, and I'm struck again by what an innovation it was. One of the books made at the court of #Charlemagne in the eighth century, its elaborate decoration & writing have no real precedent. This is the beginning of a period when the #medieval #manuscript book is raised to an art & an ideology. It's a very strange feeling, to be looking at such clear evidence of a fundamental historical shift.

Illustrated medieval manuscript page showing a seated man in a robe holding a book and pen, looking up to the right at an angel with a cross. The words at the top of the page indicate he is St Matthew. Both Matthew and the angels have halos. The colours are predominantly gold, blue and reddish orange.

I was a bit surprised that psychic Char Margolis came out with the book You Are Psychic, recently. Is she trying to give away the game of being a psychic? After all, once you know her methods can’t you just be a psychic for yourself and get rid of any outside psychics?

Then I became really excited by her book. Perhaps she is coming out with the real book of psychics where she tells us the secrets of magicians, mentalists and faith healers as well as the related secrets of psychics that we could all use to help us defraud the world in general. Then I thought about it again. The world just isn’t ready to hear all that.

As to the You Are Psychic gimmick to earn readers, I’m just not feeling it. This book just doesn’t speak to me so I’m afraid it will be a pass from me in buying it. I listen to my gut and my gut says no.

But what if it were true and I could bring out my inner psychic just by reading some book. What would I do with such all encompassing power?

Well I don’t know what all I would do, but I can tell you the first thing I would do. I would firstly ask if Char is short for Charlotte, Charlene, Charlise or Charmaine. Or maybe it is a short form for a name that is more gender bending like Charlemagne or Charlie. Then, indeed, it might not be a short form at all but a complete name of four letters. Whatever. With all the psychic abilities Char Margolis is unleashing on this world, we will soon have an answer for this.

So, if you use some google fu to find out the secret of Char’s name, don’t tell me that. Pretend you have psychic abilities and I am missing out on reading this step by step psychic guide. After all, maybe this book would speak to me if I bought the Audible version.

Morgen begint in het #RMO een #tentoonstelling over het jaar #duizend: een jaar waarin het Laatste Oordeel niet kwam, #keizer Otto III het graf van #Charlemagne opende, de ergste #Viking-invallen achter de rug waren, het graafschap #Holland nog in zijn kinderschoenen stond en #Nederland een beetje vorm begon te krijgen.

It's the remains of one of eight Imperial Palaces built by/for Charlemagne/Karl der Große in the first quarter of the 9th century CE.

You can't spit without hitting the remains of a medieval castle, palace, fortification, etc in much of Europe. People living in houses with thousand year old foundations is kinda the "norm" in many places in Europe.

Here's the Imperial Palace laid out over the modern town.

Imperial Palace Ingelheim, including 10th and 12th century additions. The truck was where the Halbkreisbau meets the Pfalzkirche (Palace Church). We live within the confines of the courtyard formed by the 12th century fortification walls. Most of the palace complex was taken apart during the Great Scavenge of the 14th-16th centuries.
