June ;-) Excelent point June, a story I'm familiar with. Lewis had all kinds of neat stuff in that book, a resurrected Merlin, a new Pendragon descendant of Arthur, the talking head which ran the show in the "NWO" collective, Templar like "blasphemies" for initiatives, secret tombs, etc. I highly recommend Lewis' "Space Trilogy" which is full of good stuff, and is just a plain good read. ** *** "Welcome to the desert of the real."

Incidentally what is with all of these talking heads?!?! Is their some alchemical or Kabbalic underpinning or other occultic significance? Is the head "possessed" by something or someone? Or is it a piece of technology just responding to input like a computer or some such. I was just curious if anyone has any input on this topic, where did all the talking heads come from and what is the "magical" significance to them? (Besides the fact that they ARE heads and that they DO talk which is "magical" in itself). ** *** "Welcome to the desert of the real." Morpheus, "The Matrix".

In order to get home, Gerbert agreed to give his soul to Satan, and Satan, in turn, promised to give him powers even greater than those contained in the book of spells. The proof that this story is the correct one is found in the fact that Gerbert kept a human head with him and would put the head on his desk and converse with it through the night, learning many secrets and about the future from it." Sounds suspiciously like the Baphomet head of the Templars. ** *** "Welcome to the desert of the real." Morpheus, "The Matrix".
