Full Version: Heraldic Symbolism in the VMs
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I would like to propose a list of examples where heraldry is used in the VMs.

* The nebuly line as found in the VMs cosmos. A nebuly line can be a cloud band. A cloud band can be a cosmic boundary.
    Heraldry provides the name (etymology), definition and structure of the nebuly line.

* Heraldic ordinaries, sub-ordinaries, and furs placed as tub patterns on VMs Pisces and Aries pages.
    Various examples.

* Red hats and blue stripes. Two for one. Both are heraldic and the combination is historically significant.

* Red, white and green hats of the Zodiac nymphs match with the religious use in ecclesiastical heraldry.

* On the White Aries page, both of the relevant characters, nymphs, are found in the heraldically favored upper right quadrant of the illustration - from the heraldic perspective - from behind the shield.

* An obscure heraldic fur, carefully placed on the two pages immediately preceding White Aries, corresponding in both quadrant and in sphere with the two blue-striped patterns on White Aries, then sets up the possibility for a religious and historical, heraldic canting, if and only if the 'proper', historical and traditional name and description can be recovered for each.

* Melusine isn't exactly heraldic, but she was considered ancestral, and that's close.

* The Golden Fleece is honorific - a symbol of royal exclusivity - more similar to heraldry that to astronomy or alchemy for sure.

Not only do these examples demonstrate the value of the 'proper' interpretation of heraldic symbolism. In combination with with other investigations (the cosmos) and other evidence (C-14), the set of historical correlations starts to take its own form. Additionally, the manner in which these and other examples have been presented reveals something about the source. There is a sophistication, a level of depiction that is more than subtle. On White Aries it is duplicitous. There are two choices.

These examples demonstrate the importance of heraldic interpretation. What other area of investigation can say as much?
