Trees assemble in late autumn in Thorpe Perrow, North Yorkshire

One of the last pieces folded for my current exhibition in Phoenix. I'm not happy with the photo (hence the small original size), and will try to get a better one after the show is over. In the meantime, you can try to guess how this was made.

The arches of the transverse nave and the last arch of the axial nave are decorated with muqarnas. The other arches of the prayer hall, broken beyond, are supported by quadrangular pillars of plaster-coated bricks and have no decoration. The mass of these support organs is lightened by false engaged columns surmounted by capitals. The latter have a floral decoration that is organized in two rows of flat acanthus, the lower row being sometimes reduced to a simple ribbon forming a meander. Exceptions are the tents near the mihrâb. The acanthus leaves offer a more varied digitation, the style of which is certainly archaic but rather fine. The capitals of the Kutubiyya, like Tinmal's, allow us to understand the genesis of the Andalusian-maghrebin marquee, derived from the composite type of headband used on a large scale in Caliphate art and in the 11th century. There are many affinities with the works of the palace of the Aljaferia de Zaragoza (11th century) where the rich decor of palms covers the emancipation of the capital of the Cordoba. The decor of the Kutubiyya prayer hall is in keeping with Tinmal's tradition: vigorous, sober and hierarchical. The Kutubiyya Mosque (Booksellers) was built after the fall of the Almoravids and the glorious entrance of the Almohades into the capital Marrakech in 1147. There they destroyed Almoravid religious buildings and began the construction of new sanctuaries. Abd al-Mu' min, decided to build a large mosque on the site of the Almoravid palace of' Alî ibn Yûsuf.Kutubiyya underwent two major phases of construction. Of the first foundation (poorly oriented in relation to Mecca) only a few remains remain. The second phase (current building) follows the same plan and a minaret is erected in the southeast corner. The mosque, of trapezoidal plan, is one of the largest sanctuaries of the Maghreb. Its prayer hall has seventeen naves perpendicular to the qibla, whose layout reproduces, as in the Tinmal and Kairouan mosques, a T-shaped plan. This type of plan was already known in Mesopotamia in the ninth century, at the Abu Dulaf mosque in the city of Samarra (Iraq). This device is created by two magnified naves with five domes, one in the dumihrâb axis, the other transverse and parallel to the qibla wall. This structure is perhaps an inheritance of the Fatimids, whose naves were placed in front of the qibla and magnified by domes at the end of the 10th century. K.A.C. Creswell assumes that three domes surmounted the transverse nave of the al-Hakim Mosque in Cairo. Four vast galleries on either side of the courtyard follow the lateral naves, a pattern identical to that of the Abu Dulaf mosque. The prayer hall is accessed through six side doors, all of which are protected by imposing forebodies.

Often used by officers and bodyguards for close quarters self-defense and for this job the Krakta does its job admirably but against foes farther out than some tens of meters it quickly loses effectiveness.

 

Nevertheless the effectiveness of the Krakta is battle proven. It has even been seen in the hands of the Gestalts on occasion.

The hierarchies of the blessed.

The blessed are divided into overlapping groups in hierarchical order, pleading and adoring and facing the Judge. Below the patriarchs, with Adam and Eve now in old age, are the Baptist and the saints (Dominic, Francis with his stigmata, and Benedict), and then the “choir” of popes, bishops, prelates, and kings. Lower down, the company of merchants and knights and, lastly, the world of women. A vista of people praying in Paradise, where Christ the Lamb “is the shepherd” (Apocalypse 7: 17).

The ARK of the COVENANT (CONTRACT of the ARCH……)

 

The ARCH is a word and a structure that features prominently over the millennia……

 

ARCHES are used in building powerful word constructs and social control structures as well as being used extensively in ARCHitecture and civil engineering.

 

These power structures are always hierARCHical, often with a single entity at the top known as a monARCH.

 

The MASONIC control structure has certainly adopted this ARCHitecture and even pretends to be borne out of the stone mason fraternities.

 

In Gnosticism, ARCHons are the builders of the physical universe. Among the ARCHontics, Ophites, Sethians and in the writings of Nag Hammadi library, the ARCHons are rulers, each related to one of seven planets; they prevent souls from leaving the material realm.

 

The ARCHers – a long running program through history – not just the BBC….

 

'SOVEREIGN' - literally means to reign from above.

This is why the MonARCH of a country is referred to as 'Your HIGHNESS'

Then we have

MatriARCHs - a system of society or government ruled by a woman or women

PatriARCHs - a system of society or government in which the father or eldest male is head of the family and descent is reckoned through the male line.

OligARCHs - government by the few, especially despotic power exercised by a small and privileged group for corrupt or selfish purposes.

In these long-running and ARCHaic societal control structures we also have:

ARCH dukes and ARCH duchesses

ARCH bishops

ARCH deacons

ARCH druids

ARCHangels

ARCHitects

SquireARCHies - landowners collectively, especially when considered as a class having political or social influence

mARCHioness - a noblewoman with the rank of marquess, or the wife of a marquess.

mARCHer lords - A Marcher Lord was a noble appointed by the King of England to guard the border between England and Wales. A Marcher Lord was the English equivalent of a margrave or a marquis before the introduction of the title of "marquess" in Britain

ARCHimandrite - the superior of a large monastery or group of monasteries in the Orthodox Church

ARCHaeology or archeology is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. Archaeology is often considered a branch of socio-cultural anthropology, but archaeologists also draw from biological, geological, and environmental systems through their study of the past

 

TrierARCH - the title of officers who commanded a trireme in the classical Greek world. In Classical Athens, the title was associated with the trierarchy, one of the public offices or liturgies, which were filled by wealthy citizens for a year

 

HagiARCHy - government by saints, holy men, or men in holy orders

 

AutARCHic - having and exercising complete political power and control: absolute, absolutistic, arbitrary, autarchical, autocratic, autocratical, despotic, dictatorial, monocratic, totalitarian, tyrannic, tyrannical, tyrannous

HeptARCHy - a collective name applied to the seven kingdoms of Anglo-Saxon England from the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain in the 5th century until the 8th century consolidation into the four kingdoms of Mercia, Northumbria, Wessex and East Anglia.

TetrARCHy - term adopted to describe the system of government of the ancient Roman Empire instituted by Roman Emperor Diocletian in 293, marking the end of the Crisis of the Third Century and the recovery of the Roman Empire

TheARCHy - rule by a god or gods

GynARCHy - rule by women or a woman.

ExARCHate - a Byzantine province governed by an exARCH

AnARCHy - a state of disorder due to lack of social structure

 

All this history was documented by ARCHivists – with old records being kept on pARCHment

 

At school we are not taught the true meaning of the ARCHway….

By passing through the ARCHway we may be unaware that we are entering into an agreement or contract where we are to be ruled over.

The ‘CONTRACT of the ARCH’ perhaps……

 

ARCANUM and ARCANA - mysterious or specialized knowledge, language, or information accessible or possessed only by the initiate.

 

ARCHES in Modern Culture….

The ARCHERS - a British BBC radio soap opera broadcast since 1951. Having aired over 19,300 episodes, it is the world's longest-running drama.

The ARCHERS is set in the fictional village of AmBRIDGE

 

The POPE – PONTIFEX MAXIMUS – The GREATEST BRIDGE BUILDER

A pontiff (bridge builder from Latin pontifex) was, in Roman antiquity, a member of the most illustrious of the colleges of priests of the Roman religion, the College of Pontiffs.

More famous ARCHes…

ARCHimedes (c. 287 – c. 212 BC)

Considered to be the greatest mathematician of ancient history, and one of the greatest of all time.

The Fields Medal for outstanding achievement in mathematics carries a portrait of ARCHimedes, along with a carving illustrating his proof on the sphere and the cylinder.

The inscription around the head of ARCHimedes is a quote attributed to him which reads in Latin: Transire suum pectus mundoque potiri.

'RISE ABOVE ONESELF AND GRASP THE WORLD’.

ARCHimedes, Freemasonry and the Moderns Grand Lodge Constitutions

Frontispiece to the 1723 Edition:

The 1723 edition is well-known for its elaborate frontispiece engraved by John Pine in 1723. It features a classical arcade of John Montagu, the Second Duke of Montagu (Knight of the Garter #532), and the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England (1721-1723), passing the scroll of the "Constitutions" to his 1723 successor, Philip Warton, First Duke of Wharton. Both are attended by their officers. Apollo, god of the sun, charges above in his chariot, symbolizing the meridian height. Behind the gathering is a passageway framed by walls of water - evocative of the parting of the Red Sea.

The 47th proposition of Euclid, the traditional symbol of a past masters of a Masonic lodge, appears in the foreground. Below it, in Greek, is ARCHhimedes' famous exclamation: “Eureka!” (“I have found it!”)

eureka (English) - εύρηκα (Greek)

Be Prepared: Companies Must Ascend the Social Business Hierarchy of Needs

In a tribute to Maslow’s work on our individual hierarchy of needs, we noticed a pattern than companies undergo a similar growth. Companies must fulfill the requirements at the bottom of the pyramid and then layer on top of success, building each layer. To date, we found only a few companies that are getting near enlightenment, which we will feature in our upcoming work. Here’s a pattern we found from the advanced companies:

 

1) Foundation: First, develop a business plan and put governance in place.

 

2) Safety: Then, get organized by anointing a team and process to deal with crisis.

 

3) Formation: Next, connect business units to increase coordination and reduce duplication.

 

4) Enablement: Grow by letting them prosper – give business units the support and flexibility to reach goals

 

5) Enlightenment: Finally, weave real-time market response into business processes and planning.

Will the reading be revolutionary?

 

London, in front of the Royal Albert Hall

Armand Jean du Plessis, 1st Duke of Richelieu; 9 September 1585 – 4 December 1642), known as Cardinal Richelieu, was a French statesman and prelate of the Catholic Church. He became known as l'Éminence rouge, or "the Red Eminence", a term derived from the title "Eminence" applied to cardinals and from the red robes that they customarily wear.

 

Consecrated a bishop in 1607, Richelieu was appointed Foreign Secretary in 1616. He continued to rise through the hierarchy of both the Catholic Church and the French government, becoming a cardinal in 1622 and chief minister to King Louis XIII of France in 1624. He retained that office until his death in 1642, when he was succeeded by Cardinal Mazarin, whose career he had fostered. Richelieu became engaged in a bitter dispute with Marie de Médici, the king's mother, and formerly his close ally.

 

Richelieu sought to consolidate royal power and restrained the power of the nobility in order to transform France into a strong centralized state. In foreign policy, his primary objectives were to check the power of the Habsburg dynasty (reigning notably in Spain and Austria) and to ensure French dominance in the Thirty Years' War of 1618–1648 after that conflict engulfed Europe. Despite suppressing the Huguenot rebellions of the 1620s, he made alliances with Protestant states like the Kingdom of England and the Dutch Republic to help him achieve his goals. However, although he was a powerful political figure in his own right, events such as the Day of the Dupes (French: Journée des Dupes) in 1630 showed that Richelieu's power still depended on the king's confidence.

 

An alumnus of the University of Paris and headmaster of the College of Sorbonne, Richelieu renovated and extended the institution. He became famous for his patronage of the arts and founded the Académie Française, the learned society responsible for matters pertaining to the French language. As an advocate for Samuel de Champlain and New France, he founded (1627) the Compagnie des Cent-Associés; he also negotiated the 1632 Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye under which Quebec City returned to French rule after English privateers took it in 1629. He was created Duke of Richelieu in 1629.

 

Richelieu is known as the inventor of the table knife. Annoyed by the bad manners that were commonly displayed at the dining table by users of sharp knives (who would often use them to pick their teeth),[6] in 1637 Richelieu ordered that all of the knives on his dining table have their blades dulled and their tips rounded. The design quickly became popular throughout France and later spread to other countries.

 

Richelieu has frequently been depicted in popular fiction, notably as the lead villain in Alexandre Dumas's 1844 novel The Three Musketeers and its numerous film adaptations.

 

Early life

Born in Paris on 9 September 1585, Armand du Plessis was the fourth of five children and the last of three sons: he was delicate from childhood and suffered frequent bouts of ill-health throughout his life. His family belonged to the lesser nobility of Poitou: his father, François du Plessis, seigneur de Richelieu, was a soldier and courtier who served as the Grand Provost of France, and his mother, Susanne de La Porte, was the daughter of a famous jurist.

 

When he was five years old, Richelieu's father died of fever in the French Wars of Religion, leaving the family in debt; with the aid of royal grants, however, the family was able to avoid financial difficulties. At the age of 9, young Richelieu was sent to the College of Navarre in Paris to study philosophy. Thereafter, he began to train for a military career. His private life seems to have been typical for a young officer of the era; in 1605, aged twenty, he was treated by Théodore de Mayerne for gonorrhea.

 

Henry III had rewarded Richelieu's father for his participation in the Wars of Religion by granting his family the Bishopric of Luçon. The family appropriated most of the revenues of the bishopric for private use; they were, however, challenged by clergymen who desired the funds for ecclesiastical purposes. To protect the important source of revenue, Richelieu's mother proposed to make her second son, Alphonse, the bishop of Luçon. Alphonse, who had no desire to become a bishop, became instead a Carthusian monk. Thus, it became necessary that the younger Richelieu join the clergy. He had strong academic interests and threw himself into studying for his new post.

 

In 1606, Henry IV nominated Richelieu to become Bishop of Luçon. As Richelieu had not yet reached the canonical minimum age, it was necessary that he journey to Rome for a special dispensation from Pope Paul V. This secured, Richelieu was consecrated bishop in April 1607. Soon after he returned to his diocese in 1608, Richelieu was heralded as a reformer. He became the first bishop in France to implement the institutional reforms prescribed by the Council of Trent between 1545 and 1563.

 

At about this time, Richelieu became a friend of François Leclerc du Tremblay (better known as "Père Joseph" or "Father Joseph"), a Capuchin friar, who would later become a close confidant. Because of his closeness to Richelieu, and the grey colour of his robes, Father Joseph was also nicknamed L'éminence grise (lit. 'the Grey Eminence'). Later, Richelieu often used him as an agent during diplomatic negotiations.

 

Rise to power

In 1614, the clergymen of Poitou asked Richelieu to be one of their representatives to the Estates-General. There, he was a vigorous advocate of the Catholic Church, arguing that it should be exempt from taxes and that bishops should have more political power. He was the most prominent clergyman to support the adoption of the decrees of the Council of Trent throughout France; the Third Estate (commoners) was his chief opponent in this endeavour. At the end of the assembly, the First Estate (the clergy) chose him to deliver the address enumerating its petitions and decisions. Soon after the dissolution of the Estates-General, Richelieu entered the service of King Louis XIII's wife, Anne of Austria, as her almoner.

 

Richelieu advanced politically by faithfully serving the queen-mother's favourite, Concino Concini, the most powerful minister in the kingdom. In 1616, Richelieu was made Secretary of State, and was given responsibility for foreign affairs. Like Concini, the Bishop was one of the closest advisors of Louis XIII's mother, Marie de Médicis. The queen had become Regent of France when the nine-year-old Louis ascended the throne; although her son reached the legal age of majority in 1614, she remained the effective ruler of the realm. However, her policies, and those of Concini, proved unpopular with many in France. As a result, both Marie and Concini became the targets of intrigues at court; their most powerful enemy was Charles de Luynes. In April 1617, in a plot arranged by Luynes, Louis XIII ordered that Concini be arrested, and killed should he resist; Concini was consequently assassinated, and Marie de Médicis overthrown. His patron having died, Richelieu also lost power; he was dismissed as Secretary of State, and was removed from the court. In 1618, the king, still suspicious of the Bishop of Luçon, banished him to Avignon. There, Richelieu spent most of his time writing; he composed a catechism titled L'Instruction du chrétien.

 

In 1619, Marie de Médicis escaped from her confinement in the Château de Blois, becoming the titular leader of an aristocratic rebellion. The king and the duc de Luynes recalled Richelieu, believing that he would be able to reason with the queen. Richelieu was successful in this endeavour, mediating between her and her son. Complex negotiations bore fruit when the Treaty of Angoulême was ratified; Marie de Médicis was given complete freedom, but would remain at peace with the king. The queen-mother was restored to the royal council.

 

After the death of the king's favourite, the duc de Luynes, in 1621, Richelieu rose to power quickly. The year after, the king nominated Richelieu for a cardinalate, which Pope Gregory XV accordingly granted in September 1622. Crises in France, including a rebellion of the Huguenots, rendered Richelieu a nearly indispensable advisor to the king. After he was appointed to the royal council of ministers on 29 April 1624, he intrigued against the chief minister Charles, duc de La Vieuville. On 12 August of the same year, La Vieuville was arrested on charges of corruption, and Cardinal Richelieu took his place as the king's principal minister the following day, but the Cardinal de la Rochefoucauld nominally remained president of the council (Richelieu was officially appointed president in November 1629).

 

Amboise is a commune in the Indre-et-Loire department in central France. Today a small market town, it was once home of the French royal court.

 

Amboise lies on the banks of the river Loire, 27 kilometres (17 mi) east of Tours. It is also about 18 kilometres (11 mi) away from the historic Château de Chenonceau, situated on the river Cher near the small village of Chenonceaux. Amboise station, on the north bank of the Loire, has rail connections to Orléans, Blois and Tours.

 

Clovis I (c. 466 – 511) and the Visigoths signed a peace treaty of alliance with the Arvernians in 503, which assisted him in his defeat of the Visigothic kingdom in the Battle of Vouillé in 507.

 

Joan of Arc passed through in 1429 on her way to Orleans to the Battle of Patay.

 

Château du Clos Lucé was the residence of Leonardo da Vinci between 1516 and his death in 1519. Da Vinci died in the arms of King Francis I, and he was buried in a crypt near the Château d'Amboise. The house has lost some of its original parts, but it still stands today containing a museum of da Vinci's work and inventions, and overlooks the river Loire.

 

The Amboise conspiracy was the conspiracy of Condé and the Huguenots in 1560 against Francis II, Catherine de' Medici and the Guises.

 

The Château at Amboise was home to Mary Stewart, Queen of Scots, for much of her early life, being raised there at the French court of Henry II. She arrived in France from Scotland in 1548, aged six, via the French king's favourite palace at Saint-Germain-en-Laye near Paris, and remained in France until 1561, when she returned to her homeland—sailing up the Firth of Forth to Edinburgh on 15 August that year.

  

The Edict of Amboise (1563) conceded the free exercise of worship to the Protestants.

 

Here was born in 1743 Louis Claude de Saint-Martin, French philosopher, known as Le Philosophe Inconnu (d. 1803).

 

Abd el Kader Ibn Mouhi Ad-Din (c. 1807 – 1883) was imprisoned at the Château d'Amboise.

 

In 2019, the 500th anniversary of da Vinci's death, Amboise held many events celebrating the master's life and his work completed in the town. The number of visitors to Château du Clos Lucé, for example, was estimated as 500,000 in 2019, a 30% increase over the typical annual number.

 

The city is known for the Clos Lucé manor house where Leonardo da Vinci lived (and ultimately died) at the invitation of King Francis I of France, whose Château d'Amboise, which dominates the town, is located just 500 m (1,640 feet) away. The narrow streets contain some good examples of timbered housing.

 

Just outside the city is the Pagode de Chanteloup, a 44-metre-tall (144 ft) Chinese pagoda built in 1775 by the Duke of Choiseul. The pagoda is seven levels high, with each level slightly smaller than the last one. An interior staircase to reach all levels is open to the public.

 

The Musée de la Poste (in the Hôtel Joyeuse) is a museum tracing the history of the postal delivery service.

Pseudo-Dionysius (On the Celestial Hierarchy) and Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologica) drew on passages from the New Testament, specifically in the Galatians 3:26-28, Matthew 22:24-33 Ephesians 1:21-23 and Colossians 1:16, to develop a schema of three Hierarchies, Spheres or Triads of angels, with each Hierarchy containing three Orders or Choirs. Although both authors drew on the New Testament, the Biblical canon is relatively silent on the subject, and these hierarchies are considered less definitive than biblical material.
