The Worlds of Katherine Kurtz

Me too. When he was vested as as a priest the hair stood up on the back of my neck.  I did see QEII's coronation (black and white, Mrs Jackson-across-the-road's telly) but was only four.

King Kelson and his court are seeing the realities of the growing Willimite resurgence and resentment of the Deryni across Gwynedd. The King is cautious in his actions otherwise the balance may tip to one side or other other and flames will burn across Gwynedd and consume both human and Deryni as it does. "Keep the King's Peace" is a common phrase when meeting strangers on the roads of the kingdom. Sometimes, it isn't peaceful.

I think the echoes of the idea of sacred kingship were much more obvious in the King's coronation than the late Queen's - with the removal of much of the homage giving it put the emphasis on the anointing.

I'll have to make it there one year. I'm a RHS member so no excuse really.

I re-read this for the nth time recently.  I think Margaret Murray's The Divine King in England is still around - most likely in the reserve stock of public libraries (UK) - and, if you can get hold of it is a very interesting read. 

Yes, despite the rain. mud etc.

The blossoms must be all those colorful eight-spoke umbrellas. English weather seems to be bountiful this day for you. I hope you had a good time, JudithR.

Royal Horticultural Society main flower show. The English summer in its glory.

I was also thinking about the fact that we have three Deryni in the group: one doesn't know she's Deryni, one doesn't care that he's Deryni, and one actively doesn't want to be Deryni.

Bynw's gonna have a field day with this.
