A friend of mine runs a shop, and has been experiencing some of the ups and downs of the current economy. We tried doing some magical work to keep her shop running a while ago, using the energies of Jupiter — bringer of generosity. The earlier work was some Jupiter sigils attached to a fountain; that worked surprisingly well. But, then the fountain broke; the parts to the fountain have been sitting in a back room of her shop for a while.
So, last Thursday I started this scroll of the Orphic Hymn to Jupiter. I finished it last night, and gave it to her this morning — charged with Jovian, Solar and Lunar energies. For my first major piece of "calligraphy" (with a Sharpie pen!), I think it turned out rather well. Jupiter's face is a little off-balance and crazy, but on the whole it turned out pretty well.
I didn't use the traditional "medieval" page-layout that I've been experimenting with for this particular page, but there is an underlying geometry behind it, particularly on the illumination in the lower-right. All in all, it obeys Henry Cornelius Agrippa's model of the three-fold virtues.
Scroll and Key is a fraternity or "secret society" formed at Yale College about 1842. Alumni from the fraternity incorporated as the Kingsley Trust Association in 1860 and hired Richard Morris Hunt , to design this building. The Spanish Moorish cube of marble was described as " advertising mystery and inviting speculation". It was completed in 1870 at a cost of $50,000.
This is the scroll that was presented for my Award of Arms. The shield is where my Arms will go, once I get them approved.

The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in a series of twelve caves around the site known as Qumran near the Dead Sea in the West Bank of the Jordan River between 1946 and 1956 by Bedouin shepherds and a team of archaeologists.
The initial discovery by Bedouin shepherds took place between November 1946 and February 1947. The shepherds discovered seven scrolls housed in jars in a cave near the Qumran site.
The original seven scrolls were found to be very similar to The Nash Papyrus, the oldest biblical manuscript then known, essentially showing the Old Testament scriptures had been very accurately copied for more than a 1000 years.

Took part in last years one and managed to get into this years at the last minute (thank you Peter for the reminder!).
Beautiful day, great ride into the city on the scooter and then spent a couple of hours wandering around Brisbane City Botanic Gardens, QUT, the Old Government House, Parliamentary Annexe and the Parliament taking pics.
Today the Jodo Mission of Hawaii saw the return of its hand-painted Japanese hanging scroll. At least 60 years old and the second largest such artifact in Hawaii, it was fully restored by skilled Japanese artisans under the direction of Japan Memorial Corporation's Tatsuji Maeda, who presented the restoration work to the Jodo Mission board this morning. This prized artwork will be carefully stored and only displayed in the temple maybe twice a year. I'd love to hear from anyone who knows more about these scrolls, it was certainly an education for us (and a substantial investment).
