Legendary Truth, like many other secret societies, are deeply rooted in history and strive to preserve and conserve their identities through hidden messages, architectural sites, sacred locations, and journals. For us, The Collaborative, we need to research, understand, and decipher such clues in order to unearth the truth in this legendary expedition.
Just like Dorothy being uprooted from Kansas and traveling to Oz on the Yellow Brick Road, we simply need to repeat . . . "Lions and Bibles and Maps, Oh My!" and we'll get through this as a collective front.
So, discuss lion symbolism in history, hidden messages in the Bible, and the importance of using maps to uncover clues, not much amiss from The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons.

Lion Symbolism Part 4
Tarot "Strength" card Bucks County PA Tileworks (created by Henry Mercer and used in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts) *The Admiral of Castile, Fadrique Enríquez, was the grandfather of King Ferdinand of Spain. It was Ferdinand and Isabela who sent Columbus on his historic voyage of discovery. Fadrique’s coat of arms shows a lion rampant below two triple-turreted castles on a shield bordered by anchors. Castile means castle in Spanish. The lion is a symbol of royalty and the anchors refer to his position as Admiral. Henry Mercer utilized this tile design in the floor of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (1926)." Bucks County Lions football team (mascot)

Lion Symbolism Part 5
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_%28heraldry%29With all of the talk of lions, here is an article that gives the history of lions in heraldry. When the Masters continue to hint that HHN23's icon is HHN itself and with the strong inclusion of LT on its main site, one could imagine that Legendary Truth has been around for a long time, including the symbolism of a lion in its path. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_depictions_of_lionsI found this quote interesting: "In 1 Peter 5:8, the Devil is compared to a roaring lion 'seeking someone to devour.'" The article also points out various cultures that have used the lion in various depictions throughout time. Interesting to point out that east Asia and Egypt are two places they continue to resurface; these places are known to be the roots of the Baccanoids and Kerezans, respectively. www.gregorian-chant.info/Dr. Jimmy pointed out a gregorian chant: "de ore leonis libera me domine et a cornibus unicornium humilitatem meam."In case someone wanted our good doctor's translation from the Palm Sunday service: "O Lord, keep not Thy help far from me; look to my defense; deliver me from the lion's mouth, and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns."This happens to be from -- (Ps. 21. 2.) Hmm . . . PS . . . Ps = psalms. Have we been looking at the wrong book from the Bible all this time? *Psalms 21:2 - "21:2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips." PS has a cat named "Furball", Dr. Jimmy has a cat named BOB, Erwin Shrodinger had a cat that he seemed to lose quite frequently, and then there's this cat. . .
