"The Da Vince Code" [.]

[fiefoe]

It's gratifying to remember that I did think the person sitting next to Jesus looked like a girl when I first saw the 'Last Supper' painting. But what put me in the know years before is Iris Johansen's 'Lion's Bride', a romance novel about a weaver and a warrior.

Learning the Star of David, or a hexagram is made up of two opposing triangles is pretty neat.

The author was quite careful to have only the villain bad-mouth the church:
__ 'Nothing in Christianity is original.'
__ 'Anglicans drink their religion straight. Nothing to distract from their misery.'

Church herstory:

• pagan symbols lost the battle - Poseidon's trident became the devil's pitchfork; Egyptian sun disks became the halos of Catholic saints.
• Tarot had been devised as a secret means to pass along ideologies banned by the Church. 
• a Gothic cathedral's doorway, 'complete w/ receding labial ridges and a nice little cinquefoil clioris above the door way' 
• The troubadours (minstrel) were the traveling servants or 'ministers' of the Church of Mary Magdalene.
• pillars (Boaz & Jachin) found in Masonic temple {I first noticed this in Italy}
• During 300 years of witch hunts, the Church burned at the stake 5 million women.
