Under rich, relentless skies
I've been setting highs
I felt you walk right through me
You're the thing that I invoke
My all persistent goal
Sent to make me queazy
And oh, it's hard now
With time, it works out
To be human is to love
Even when it gets too much
I'm not ready to give up...

Text/Music by Sia - To Be Human
To go a viking was the call
To be answered by Norsemen blonde and tall
And so they rode the dragon boats
The powers of Thor and Odin they did invoke
Once more upon a foreign shore
Spared not the weak who did emplore
For mercy from untimely death
A viking was a raid unto death
The weak and feeble felt the axe
Even the strong had no hope to match
The power of its savage bite
And when the blow fell death came in sight
Of those yet to fall
Delivered by a norseman tall
Few were spared and taken slave
To labour for their remaining days
Then the longships turned once more for home
Few Norsemen dead no more to roam
There is a name for what they did
To Go A Viking

Son variadas las leyendas donde relacionan diversos animales que son considerados y utilizados como amuletos para la buena suerte, uno de ellos es el búho, ave cuyos ojos son símbolo de la intuición, de sabiduría e inteligencia. Algunos utilizan accesorios con la figura de este alado, para invocar la buena suerte.
Según el portal Soyesoterica.com, se tiene la creencia que el tener un encuentro de forma casual con un búho, es una excelente señal de buen augurio en todos los sentidos, pero fundamentalmente en el aspecto económico.
De otra parte, también se dice que los búhos son buenos protectores contra el oscurantismo y la ignorancia, por ello no es difícil encontrar la representación del animal en objetos como talismanes o adornos que llevan las personas y en ocasiones los puedan tener en sus residencias.
Desde ya a todos mis amigos les deseo que frente a la adversidad que caracterizó este año, lo terminemos con sabiduria e inteligencia.

The legends are varied where various animals that are considered and used as amulets for good luck are related, one of them is the owl, a bird whose eyes are a symbol of intuition, wisdom and intelligence. Some use accessories with the figure of this winged, to invoke good luck.
According to the portal Soyesoterica.com, it is believed that having a chance encounter with an owl is an excellent sign of a good omen in every way, but fundamentally financially.
On the other hand, it is also said that owls are good protectors against obscurantism and ignorance, so it is not difficult to find the representation of the animal in objects such as talismans or ornaments that people carry and sometimes they can have in their residences.
From now on I wish all my friends that in the face of the adversity that characterized this year, we end it with wisdom and intelligence.

Die Legenden sind vielfältig, in denen verschiedene Tiere verwandt sind, die als Amulette für Glück betrachtet und verwendet werden. Eine davon ist die Eule, ein Vogel, dessen Augen ein Symbol für Intuition, Weisheit und Intelligenz sind. Einige verwenden Zubehör mit der Figur dieses geflügelten, um Glück zu beschwören.
Laut dem Portal Soyesoterica.com wird angenommen, dass eine zufällige Begegnung mit einer Eule in jeder Hinsicht, aber grundsätzlich finanziell, ein hervorragendes Zeichen für ein gutes Omen ist.
Andererseits wird auch gesagt, dass Eulen ein guter Beschützer gegen Obskurantismus und Unwissenheit sind, so dass es nicht schwierig ist, die Darstellung des Tieres in Gegenständen wie Talismanen oder Ornamenten zu finden, die Menschen tragen und manchmal in ihren Wohnungen haben können.
Von nun an wünsche ich allen meinen Freunden, dass wir es angesichts der Widrigkeiten, die dieses Jahr geprägt haben, mit Weisheit und Intelligenz beenden.

D'autre part, on dit aussi que les hiboux sont de bons protecteurs contre l'obscurantisme et l'ignorance, il n'est donc pas difficile de trouver la représentation de l'animal dans des objets tels que des talismans ou des ornements que les gens portent et parfois ils peuvent avoir dans leurs résidences.

Sagrada Família, Barcelona, España.
El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia, es una basílica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí. Iniciada en 1882, todavía está en construcción (noviembre de 2016). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una síntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudí logró una perfecta armonía en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.
La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristías junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior. Gaudí aplicó a la Sagrada Familia un alto contenido simbólico, tanto en arquitectura como en escultura, dedicando a cada parte del templo un significado religioso.
The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia, known simply as the Sagrada Familia, is a Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction (November 2016). It is Gaudí's masterpiece and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture.
The Sagrada Familia is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic plenitude: he worked on it for most of his professional career, but especially in his later years, where he reached the culmination of his naturalistic style, synthesizing all the solutions and styles he had tried up to that point. Gaudí achieved perfect harmony in the interrelationship between structural and ornamental elements, between plasticity and aesthetics, between function and form, between content and container, achieving the integration of all the arts into a structured and logical whole. The Sagrada Familia has a Latin cross plan, five central naves, a three-aisled transept, and an apse with seven chapels. It boasts three façades dedicated to the Birth, Passion, and Glory of Jesus. When completed, it will have 18 towers: four at each portal, making a total of twelve for the apostles, four over the transept invoking the evangelists, one over the apse dedicated to the Virgin, and the central dome tower in honor of Jesus, which will reach 172.5 meters in height. The temple will have two sacristies next to the apse and three large chapels: the Assumption Chapel in the apse and the Baptism and Penance Chapels next to the main façade. It will also be surrounded by a cloister designed for processions and to isolate the temple from the exterior. Gaudí applied a highly symbolic content to the Sagrada Familia, both in architecture and sculpture, dedicating each part of the temple to a religious significance.
Theresa May made it clear that UK won't invoke Article 50 within the year. Imagine the turmoils the British pound and British properties and equities have to undergo within the period, and whether the British voters could withstand the sharp shocks that is anything but short. Other than economic punishments, they now say "the referendum was not binding", but "was only advisory" and that it's something which only the Parliament can decide on... The odds are, they are not going to make it, so long as the matter is muddling on.
Agra Fort, India, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The fort also was the site of the battle of the 1857 Indian Mutiny witnessing the end of the rule of the East Indian Company and the beginning of direct British rule in India. Now that India is independent and British Raj no more, the Britons come and go here only as a visitor ......
The Fort is a walled city which has been in the location since the 11th century having changed hands a number of times. It was during the reign of Akbar's grandson that the site took on its current state using a lot of white marble. He built Taj Mahal 2.5 km away in the memory of his wife. At the end of his life, he was deposed and restrained by his son in the fort. He died in a tower therein with a view of the Taj Mahal.
an island has voted to retract itself in a delusional moment of invoking former British glory from times of the Empire and believing the obviously false promises of these two morons: Farage and Johnson who have already started retracting on their promises and those who are still celebrating the "Day when Britain got its Independence back" will soon will the hammer when Britain' economy lies in shambles. Imagine that only the first day the break in of markets did cost Britain more than ten year worth of net contribution to the EU, money they were claiming was nothing doing any good for them. Well the loss in the markets most certainly does nothing for Britain.
I have been living in the UK for the last nine years as a resident foreigner but I fear I cannot follow them into this nationalist madness and isolation :(

"Lynette est invoqueur par obligation, ses ancêtres l'ayant été, elle doit respecter la tradition, bien qu'elle n'en ai pas du tout envie. Elle aurait préféré vivre une vie paisible avec ses amis, une vie "normale". Beaucoup se moquent d'elle au vu de ses piètres pouvoirs, et depuis qu'elle a invoqué Circée par erreur, celle-ci ne cesse de lui reprocher. Mais ce que personne ne sait c'est que Lynette a un pouvoir ancestral ultra puissant qu'elle seule peut débloquer. Mais comment ?"
" Lynette is invoker by obligation, because her ancestors were invokers, she has to respect the tradition, although she doesn't want it at all. She prefers living a peaceful life with her friends, a "normal" life. Many laugh at her in view of her mediocre powers, and since she called upon Circée by mistake, this one doesn't stop blaming her. But what nobody knows it is that Lynette has an ancestral power super powerful which she alone can free. But how? "
Ganesha or Ganesh, also known as Ganapati and Vinayaka, is one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon. His image is found throughout India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bali (Indonesia) and Bangladesh and in countries with large ethnic Indian populations including Fiji, Mauritius and Trinidad and Tobago. Hindu denominations worship him regardless of affiliations.Devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains and Buddhists.
Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify.Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rites and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions. Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits.
Ganesha likely emerged as a deity as early as the 1st century CE,but most certainly by the 4th and 5th centuries CE, during the Gupta period, although he inherited traits from Vedic and pre-Vedic precursors. Hindu mythology identifies him as the restored son of Parvati and Shiva of the Shaivism tradition, but he is a pan-Hindu god found in its various traditions. In the Ganapatya tradition of Hinduism, Ganesha is the supreme deity. The principal texts on Ganesha include the Ganesha Purana, the Mudgala Purana, and the Ganapati Atharvashirsa. Brahma Purana and Brahmanda Purana are other two Puranic genre encyclopaedic texts that deal with Ganesha.

Élan, the lust for life. One thing the music of Nightwish always invokes in me. And this.. well, it's the first song I listened to this year. I love how the arrangements got more complex with each new Album, and the lyrics.. Tuomas really isn't a songwriter anymore, he ascended to the realm of poets and composers
Élan - Nightwish (live in Buenos Aires)
Élan - Nightwish (Album Version)
Leave the sleep and let the springtime talk
In tongues from the time before man
Listen to a daffodil tell her tale
Let the guest in, walk out, be the first to greet the morn
The meadows of heaven await harvest
The cliffs unjumped, cold waters untouched
The elsewhere creatures yet unseen
Finally your number came up, freefall awaits the brave
Come, taste the wine
Raise the blind
They will guide you from the light
Writing noughts till the end of time
Come, surf the clouds
Race the dark
It feeds from the runs undone
Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
The answer to the riddle before your eyes
Is in dead leaves and fleeting skies
Returning swans and sedulous mice
Writing's on the gardens book, in the minute of a lover's look
Building a sandcastle close to the shore
A house of cards from a worn-out deck
A home from the fellowship, poise and calm
Write a lyric for the song only you can understand
Come, taste the wine
Raise the blind
They will guide you from the light
Writing noughts till the end of time
Come, surf the clouds
Race the dark
It feeds from the runs undone
Meet me where the cliff greets the sea
Riding hard every shooting star
Come to life, open mind, have a laugh at the orthodox
Come, drink deep let the dam of mind seep
Travel with great élan, dance a jig at the funeral, come!
Taste the wine
Raise the blind
They will guide you from the light
Writing noughts till the end of time
Ooh, come, surf the clouds
Race the dark
It feeds from the runs undone
Meet me where the cliff greets the sea, come!

African elephant family posing for a photo. The male is not present though, was probably occupied somewhere else.
In the background you can see a huge boulder and part of Shikumbu Mountain, an Iron-Age archaeological site occupied during the 19th century by the Majola, a sub-group of the Sotho-speaking baPhalaborwa people. The Majola were iron smelters and forgers and probably traded metal, food and ivory products with other communities across the Lowveld and as far as the Mozambican coast. Shikumbu Mountain is still regarded by many as a sacred hill associated with powerful muthi. Traditionalists in the area say that to point a finger at the granite mountain is to invoke bad luck.
Judging by the nice comments received on the last two photos, it seems that blue it's the color around here...
So, I decided to re-publish one of my photos with most likes with slightly re-edition in the blue tones
The title invokes the under world or the world of deaths of Greek Mythology.. A world often depicted as a dark and cool place, full of loneliness.

Melbourne's central city grid was designed without a central public square, long seen as a missing element. Following a competition n 1996 for the design of a city square, Federation Square was to have opened in 2001 to celebrate the centenary of the Australian Federation. Budget blowouts, a change of state government and changes to the original design meant that Federation Square opened in October, 2002.
The design includes an art gallery, a cinemedia centre, public spaces, a glazed wintergarden, along with ancillary cafe and retail spaces.
The complex of buildings forms a rough U-shape around the main open-air square, oriented to the west. The eastern end of the square is formed by the glazed walls of The Atrium. Bluestone is used for the majority of the paving in the Atrium and St Paul's Court, matching footpaths elsewhere in central Melbourne.
The main square is paved in 470,000 ochre-coloured sandstone blocks from Western Australia and invokes images of the outback. The paving is designed as a huge urban artwork, called Nearamnew, by Paul Carter and gently rises above street level, containing a number of textual pieces inlaid in its undulating surface.
While I consider Federation to be an ugly public space, it is also one of the most exciting, impressive and futuristic structures I have ever visited. Federation Square is a triumph of design and utility.

There was a board on the wall behind the Newcastle Cathedral and there was written:
The Vampire Rabbit
Look up to the left of this board and you will see the vampire rabbit.
No one is quite sure why the blood-sucking lepus was created with the rest of the building in 1901. Locals tell a tale of grave robbers who were exhuming skeletons from the graves all around the cathedral until one dark night the fanged beastie rose above the graveyard as if to scare them off.
Less superstitiously, it has also been theorized that the vampire rabbit is in fact a hare whose ears were mistakenly put on backwards. If this were the case the bloody little creature could have been installed to reference Sir George Hare Phipson, a local doctor, Freemason, and friend of the cathedral's architect. Most basically the rabbit could simply be meant to represent the coming of spring, invoking the same symbolic association that created the Easter Bunny. While the vampire rabbit of Newcastle was originally the same sandy color of the surrounding stonework, in modern times it has been painted a menacing black with droplets of blood staining its teeth and claws.

El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia, es una basílica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí. Iniciada en 1882, todavía está en construcción (noviembre de 2016). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una síntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudí logró una perfecta armonía en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.
La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristías junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior. Gaudí aplicó a la Sagrada Familia un alto contenido simbólico, tanto en arquitectura como en escultura, dedicando a cada parte del templo un significado religioso.

I was talking with tatu the other day about how I love that you hear a new song and like it. Then, many years later, you hear the same song again and not only does it invoke memories, but you maybe even see the lyrics and the melodies in a new light. This song falls under that category. When it came out, I was 19. Full of energy and the whole world was at my feet, ready to be discovered. And as all young people do, I rushed into that world and soaked up everything I saw and experienced without really have an appreciation for it. Now, a quarter century later, the song is still beautiful and amazing, but I have a new appreciation for it from all the life experience I gathered on the way. Not saying that I did it wrong back then, it is just how life goes. And I would have hated to admit that back then, but there is a certain wisdom that comes with age 😊
I'll stand by you - The Pretenders.
Oh, why you look so sad, the tears are in your eyes,
Come on and come to me now, and don't be ashamed to cry,
Let me see you through, 'cause I've seen the dark side too.
When the night falls on you, you don't know what to do,
Nothing you confess could make me love you less,
I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you
So if you're mad, get mad, don't hold it all inside,
Come on and talk to me now.
Hey there, what you got to hide?
I get angry too, well, I'm alive like you.
When you're standing at the cross roads,
And don't know which path to choose,
Let me come along, 'cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.
Baby, even to your darkest hour, and I'll never desert you,
I'll stand by you.
And when, when the night falls on you baby,
You're feeling all a lone, you're wandering on your own,
I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you, baby even to your darkest hour,
And I'll never desert you,
I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you, baby even to your darkest hour,
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

Theologians often invoke metaphors of building to describe their work: the scholar as a grand architect, a wise foreman, an honest bricklayer. But for Williams, theology is less like a construction site than like a friendship. Not a monument to be built but something collectively ventured, explored, revised, negotiated, threatened by subtle conflicts and enlarged by subtle graces. It is a sort of intellectual ‘zigzag,’ to borrow an image from Sergius Bulgakov; a ‘shaky, fluctuating path’ towards truthful speech. 7 Theology then is not a solitary endeavour; personal relationships of loving opposition are the necessary environment for the zigzag of Christian imagination.
-Christ the Stranger: The Theology of Rowan Williams, by Benjamin Myers
The name Plain Chachalaca doesn’t invoke images of a very interesting bird, well at least the plain part doesn’t. Chachalaca, on the other hand has to be one of the most fun bird names I know. Admittedly the plumage of these birds is pretty plain and drab but what this species lacks in flashy feathers it makes up for in attitude and raucous vocalizations. We watched a big flock of these “little turkeys” as they impatiently waited for the volunteers to show up with the suet at Bentsen State Park earlier this week. This one almost seemed like a lookout, or at least it did a great job staring me down as I tried to find the ideal spot to wait for a good Green Jay photo. While all the other chachalacas scurried around on the ground this character sat focused on me barely moving for quite some time.

The Temple of Kom Ombo is an unusual double temple in the town of Kom Ombo in Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt. It was constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty, 180–47 BC. Some additions to it were later made during the Roman period. The building is unique because its 'double' design meant that there were courts, halls, sanctuaries and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods. The southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world with Hathor and Khonsu. Meanwhile, the northern part of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris ("Horus the Elder"), along "with Tasenetnofret (the Good Sister, a special form of Hathor or Tefnet/Tefnut) and Panebtawy (Lord of the Two Lands)." The temple is atypical because everything is perfectly symmetrical along the main axis.
The texts and reliefs in the temple refer to cultic liturgies which were similar to those from that time period. The temple itself had a specific theology. The characters invoked the gods of Kom Ombo and their legend. Two themes were present in this temple: the universalist theme and the local theme. The two combine to form the theology of this temple. A temple was already built in the New Kingdom to honor these gods, however, this site gained in importance during the Ptolemaic Kingdom. Little remains of the New Kingdom temple. The existing temple was begun by Ptolemy VI Philometor (180–145 BC) at the beginning of his reign and added to by other Ptolemies, most notably Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator (51–47 BC), who built the inner and outer hypostyles. The scene on the inner face of the rear wall of the temple is of particular interest, and "probably represents a set of surgical instruments."
Much of the temple has been destroyed by the Nile, earthquakes, and later builders who used its stones for other projects. Some of the reliefs inside were defaced by Copts who once used the temple as a church. All the temples buildings in the southern part of the plateau were cleared of debris and restored by Jacques de Morgan in 1893.
A few of the three hundred crocodile mummies discovered in the vicinity are displayed in The Crocodile Museum.
In September 2018, the Egyptian antiquities ministry announced that a sandstone sphinx statue had been discovered at the temple. The statue, measuring approximately 28 cm in width and 38cm in height, likely dates to the Ptolemaic Dynasty.

The Torre dei Lamberti is a 84 m high tower in Verona, northern Italy.
Construction of the tower was started in 1172. In May 1403 the top of the tower was struck by lightning, but the restoration works didn't start until 1448 and took 16 years. During that time, the tower was enlarged: The more recent sections can be recognized today by the use of different materials (such as marble). The large clock was added in 1779.
The tower has two bells: the Marangona signals fires, work times, and the hours of the day, while the largest, called Rengo, is used to call the population to arms or to invoke the city's councils.
Catherine of Alexandria (also spelled Katherine) is, according to tradition, a Christian saint and virgin, who was martyred in the early fourth century at the hands of the emperor Maxentius. According to her hagiography, she was both a princess and a noted scholar who became a Christian around the age of 14, converted hundreds of people to Christianity and was martyred around the age of eighteen. More than 1,100 years after Catherine's martyrdom, Joan of Arc identified her as one of the saints who appeared to and counselled her.
The Eastern Orthodox Church venerates her as a Great Martyr and celebrates her feast day on 24 or 25 November, depending on the regional tradition. In Catholicism, Catherine is traditionally revered as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers and she is commemorated in the Roman Martyrology on 25 November. Her feast was removed from the General Roman Calendar in 1969, but restored in 2002 as an optional memorial.
Catherine was one of the most important saints in the religious culture of the late Middle Ages and arguably considered the most important of the virgin martyrs, a group including Agnes of Rome, Margaret of Antioch, Barbara, Lucia of Syracuse, Valerie of Limoges and many others. Her power as an intercessor was renowned and firmly established in most versions of her hagiography, in which she specifically entreats Christ at the moment of her death to answer the prayers of those who remember her martyrdom and invoke her name.
7 грудня день пам’яті святої Катерини Олександрійської – однієї з самих шанованих великомучениць в християнському світі. За традиційною житійною версією свята Катерина прийняла мученицьку смерть на початку IV ст. при імператорі Максиміані Галерії в Олександрії. Її мощі, за переданням, були відкриті близько 800 р. поблизу Синайського монастиря на вершині гори, яка в результаті стала називатися горою святоі Катерини (за іншою версією, в підніжжя гори Хорив). Після цього мощі були перенесені до Синайської обителі, яка впродовж багатьох століть виступала головним центром поширення культу святої.
Однією зі святих, яка часто допомагала святій Жанні, була Катерина Александрійська. У ті часи вона була дуже популярною святою у Франції — у деяких місцях її спомин був обов’язковим церковним святом. Її статуї стояли майже у кожному храмі, і вона вважалася однією з головних чотирнадцяти святих помічників. Згідно з протоколами судового процесу над Жанною д’Арк, свята Катерина часто об’являлася їй разом зі святою Маргаритою, і вони допомагали їй на полі бою. Наприклад, саме їм Жанна завдячувала натхненням для стяга, який вона брала з собою у битви.
Зі свідчень Жанни д'Арк на суді відомо, що перше видіння вона пережила 12-річною, близько 1424 року. Будучи наодинці в полі, вона побачила три постаті, в яких упізнала архангела Михаїла, святу Катерину та святу Маргариту, що звеліли їй вигнати англійців з французької землі і привести дофіна у Реймс на коронацію. Д'Арк говорила, що заплакала, коли постаті пішли — настільки вони були прекрасними.
