The VMs is a puzzle. It was constructed to be a puzzle, rather than an explanatory text. The dualism of White Ares is proof that one perspective is promoted while an alternate perspective has been disguised. It is an alternate perspective with historical connections in an illustration containing several structural confirmations based on cultural interpretations of medieval heraldry.
The puzzle question posed by White Aries: Does the reader know the armorial insignia of the pope who initiated the tradition of the cardinal's red galero? The answer is intentionally obfuscated on the page. It wouldn't be that way for a normal, explanatory text. The VMs cosmos, mermaid, etc. confirm this.
Does the reader know? That is the question posed here. Lots of browsing - no comments. What is the VMs artist doing on the White Aries page? The particular combination of armorial and ecclesiastical heraldic elements presented are sufficient to reveal historical facts despite the artist's intentional disguise.
Why has the VMs artist chosen to disguise historical fact regarding a religious tradition?
