Morten St George Theory

Morten, let me refer you to the "essentials" ( ) post about Scorpio:

Thanks very much for your helpful response. Here I have little more to work with than what Google images can show me.

I see that the four-legged scorpion is dated to England, circa 1250. This does nothing to hurt my theory that the original VMS drawings were made by Cathars during the 13th century granted that the map of Cathar migration that I posted includes England.



The drawing on the right comes from England, dated 1320-1340. Note the following:

1. Both bowmen are holding the crossbow below their waist.

2. Both bowmen are wearing no armor (apparently rare for medieval depictions of crossbowmen).

3. Both bowmen are colored blue.

4. Both bowmen are wearing something on their head.

5. Both bowmen are growing hair around their mouth.

Offhand, I'd say the VMS could have some ties to England.

Indeed, Geoffrey of Monmouth (1095-1155) lived in England. By MSG Theory, Geoffrey was in possession of the VMS recipes and even wrote a book about them.

BTW, the English manuscript of 1320 includes a drawing of a Centaur with loaded longbow. Thus, the VMS may have chosen to use the English versions of Sagittarius and Scorpio, rather than the traditional images, for precisely the reason that I outlined in my prior post.
