Alchemical Symbolism in the VMS

[Barbrey]

The knowledge of historical detail is something you either have or you don't. The different versions of Melusine were connected to various royal houses. My knowledge of early 15th century history comes mainly from VMs research.

The other side of the matter is when was the illustration of the VMs mermaid first connected to the story of mythical Melusine? The ninja investigation of the VMs mermaid, which led to the Melusine interpretation, made no mention of any prior connections with her mythology in earlier VMs research, though perhaps that was an oversight.

Perhaps, but from what I’ve read on the ninja, there are still doubts she is a Melusine at all. And I’m not sure it matters to my alchemical interpretation. So what exactly is the issue?

Is this a proprietary objection because perhaps you first identified her as a Melusine on a prior VMs thread?  By all means, take credit for that if so! I’ll be sure to mention it if I ever write an essay. Wouldn’t want to step on toes!
