Pulp Fantasy Library The Eyes Of Mavis Deval

"The fifth (of ten) short stories featuring Gardner Fox's Niall of the Far Travels appeared in issue #33 (January 1980) of Dragon", in a short story entitled "The Eyes of Mavis Deval." Interestingly, this is the first short story in the series that didn't receive the cover image. I'm not sure much can be made of this, since some of the subsequent short stories "do "get cover images (though not all of them), but it's worth noting nonetheless.

This installment in Niall's saga begins, as so many of its predecessor did, with a girl, the Mavis Deval of the title, whom Niall first spots on a dais in a slave market and to whom he is inexplicably drawn.

It was her eyes that drew his stare as he sat astride the high-peak saddle of his stallion, there on the edge of the huge slave market. They were a brilliant green, those eyes, and it seemed to Niall of the Far Travels as he looked, that there was a tiny flame glowing in each pupil.

Niall stood in the stirrups, lifting his giant body upright. Clad in the silver chainmail of his rank as High Commander of the armies of Urgrik, with the scarlet cloak hanging from his wide shoulders, he was ignorant of the men and women who turned to regard him.

All he was aware of was the girl.This story continues the tradition of Fox's previous ones in that, while not necessarily a direct sequel to the previous story in the series, it nevertheless follows it in clear chronological order, unlike, say, Howard's Conan tales, which bounce back and forth across the whole of the Cimmerian's life. Speaking of Conan, Fox's description of Niall's actions toward the slave girl and of the barbarian's lifestyle sets him apart from his inspiration.

Niall paced the black stallion slowly over the cobblestones of the city, wondering at the eldritch impulse that had made him buy this girl. He owned no slaves, he did not believe in slavery, though it was practiced everywhere in his world. Well, that was easy enough to handle. He would free the girl, give her some gold, and send her on her way.

And yet-

There was something about her that appealed to him. He had never paid much attention to women, except for a tavern girl now and then, to assuage the hungers of his flesh. Perhaps it had been the sort of life he had, wandering here and there across his world, that had made him lead this almost monastic life.To read of "any "pulp fantasy character as having led an "almost monastic life" is unusual, all the moreso when the character in question is a mighty-threwed barabrian. It's little things like that endear these stories to me, despite their lightness. Gardner Fox may not be the most "original "of writers, but he nevertheless imbues his pastiche work with imagination, playing with one's expectations and reworking familiar characters and plots into things that somehow transcend their origins.

Hating slavery and having "no room in [his] life for a girl," Niall intends to free Mavis Deval, after he has given her some decent clothes and some money to make her way in the world. Oddly, Mavis has no desire to leave Niall's side, which arouses the barbarian's suspicion. She attempts to use her considerable charms to win his affection but to little avail; he still wishes to free her and have her out of his life. Realizing this, the girl then reveals that she knows the location of "a very big treasure," whose location she learned from men speaking on the caravan on which she traveled with the other slaves.

"This "piques Niall's interest, but, even so, he is wary and decides to consult with a wizard of his acquaintance, Danko Penavar. When he tells the old man about the treasure Mavis mentioned, Penavar warns him against seeking it.

"It is not good, that treasure, Niall. Be advised. Forget about it."

Niall grinned. "But there is a treasure?"

"Oh, yes. But it is cursed. Sisstorississ himself lays claim to it, and Sisstorississ is a jealous god."Niall had run afoul of the snake god Sisstorississ in an early story, which inflames his curiosity about the treasure rather than dissuading him from seeking it. After consulting with the wizard, he then sets out, with Mavis Deval, to the hills of Kareen, where she claims the treasure lies. Niall fully expects a nasty surprise to await him, but he is at least prepared for it -- or so he thinks.

As I said earlier, "The Eyes of Mavis Deval" isn't a particularly original story, at least in terms of its basic ideas. Yet, Gardner Fox does a superb job of taking a well-worn plot and stock characters and imbuing them with lively interest. Like the previous entries in this series, this is a fun story engagingly told, displaying more than enough cleverness to hold my attention. I liked it a lot.

La Diosa En Las Trece Noches Mgicas

Yo soy la doncella de la noche,

la dama de los corazones,

la se~nora de las mareas,

Yo soy la blanca Luna entre las estrellas.

Los celtas reverenciaban por igual a la energ'ia masculina que a la femenina, identificando a esta 'ultima con la Luna. La Diosa madre, la dama de las estrellas o la se~nora de las mareas, ha sido una figura de gran importancia dentro de Wicca, ella es el aspecto complementario de la creaci'on, representa la energ'ia creadora, el interior pasivo de la Tierra donde se gesta la vida. Es la que nos da el poder de la intuici'on, la magia, la adivinaci'on y los sue~nos.

La Luna es la primera referencia que tenemos del tiempo y los ciclos de la naturaleza, nos manifiestan c'omo es que la Tierra nace, crece, madura, envejece y muere para renacer posteriormente. Entender y celebrar la Luna es conectarnos con nuestros propios ciclos, es sentir la inspiraci'on de la Diosa y dejarnos cautivar por el brillo de su luz bajo el oscuro cielo.

A diferencia de otras tradiciones espirituales en donde se relega el papel de la mujer a un segundo t'ermino, en Wicca, el aspecto femenino es de suma importancia. La sociedad celta ten'ia una configuraci'on matriarcal, un zodiaco lunar y un conocimiento profundo de las influencias que este astro tiene sobre los hombres.

En Wicca se rescribe la espiritualidad femenina rindiendo reverencia a la mujer y d'andole nuevamente el cargo de sacerdotisa dentro del coven. Se le considera capaz de celebrar los rituales sagrados al igual que cualquier var'on y se le reconoce la facultad de tener contacto con la Divinidad como un don natural.

La Diosa lunar es trina, en ella coexisten los tres misterios de la vida; una es la doncella (Luna nueva hasta cuarto creciente) a cuyas diosas se les denomina blancas y las velas que se utilizan para invocar este aspecto son de dicho color; otra es la madre (Luna llena); a estas diosas se les conoce como rojas y sus velas pueden ser plateadas o rojas; y finalmente la tercera es la anciana, bruja o arp'ia (cuarto menguante hasta Luna nueva); a sus diosas se les denomina oscuras y sus velas pueden ser negras o plateadas.

Podemos encontrar en los diferentes panteones de las religiones antiguas muchos nombres distintos para identificar cada uno de los aspectos de la Diosa. En Wicca la conocemos como la Diosa de los Diez Mil Nombres. Investiga sobre los diferentes panteones, las cualidades y mitolog'ia de cada una de las diosas que llamen tu atenci'on para que puedas elegir c'omo la llamar'as durante los rituales.

"The Working Celtic Cross

By Crichton E M Miller

In 1997 Crichton Miller made an astounding discovery that will change our concepts of the historical and religious past forever. Crichton's background and life experiences play a fundamentally important part in this revelation; he is a qualified yachtsman and navigator with an
interest in ancient history and religions.

Through the results of intensive research, Crichton proposes that our present system of beliefs and science was inherited from ancient
mariners that sailed the oceans of the world in prehistory. He further proposes that the abrupt end of the last ice age, 12,500 years ago, was part of a cataclysm that destroyed of a large part of the flora and fauna of Earth. The most likely humans to survive this cataclysmic event were those who were at sea.

Crighton proposes that the event likely produced a tsunami (a large wave that travels extremely fast) and that such a large tsunami would be more easily survived at sea, where the effect would be limited to a large swell on the surface of the ocean. The effects of a large tidal wave on a coastline, however, would be horrendous. The giant wall of water would have been turned into a breaking wave as it reached
shallower depths, annihilating all before it as it rushed up the beach with churning debris.

Crichton suggests that the sea level around the globe rose with the melting ice caps. Archaeological evidence of earlier civilizations is almost impossible to find since it is now below 300 feet of new sea water which changed the topography of coastlines, where most advanced civilizations were based. However Crichton proposes that there is
other evidence of earlier civilizations and that this evidence has
been left intact in stone and myth for us to decipher.

Crichton believes that these pre-cataclysmic civilizations were
maritime based. These ancient sea-going people had developed a form of geometry and mathematics that was linked to astronomy and astrology and developed out of their nautical lifestyles. To successfully travel on the world's oceans and seas, you must be able to know your position and direction.

Navigators recognized that the Sun was directly overhead at mid-day.
To find the longitude (East and West position) these navigators had to know the approximate time, both locally and at a prime meridian (an arbitrary North-South line from which the plotted position would be calculated). Today the prime meridian is at Greenwich (0 degrees
longitude), but Crichton proposes that the original prime meridian was at Giza in Egypt from which all local times and distances were
calculated.

If this is true, this theory could explain the observed similarities in structures and astronomical orientations in many locations all over the Earth. Crichton proposes that these locations as watch stations.
This network of astronomically aligned structures has long been
investigated, but in the face of no real evidence, the similarities of these global sites is deemed coincidental.

Many investigators and writers have commented on various bits and
pieces of evidence that could not be explained. Explorers have brought volumes of information to the public attention. This information has only deepened the sense of mystery and, in some cases, has convinced a large section of the population that aliens must have been involved in these sites. Crichton does not believe that aliens were involved;
instead, he prefers to think that we are the aliens because we do not understand the way our ancestors thought and lived.

In his book The Golden Thread of Time [ISBN 0-9541639-0-7], Crichton shows that, in comparison to the ancients, we have become very
dualistic and have divorced ourselves from nature and the cosmos. Were this not so, we would be able to see what they left behind quite
clearly and our civilizations would not be on the brink of disaster through conflict and the destruction of our environment. To prove his point, he has been fortunate in discovering the instrument that the ancients used to measure the stars and the very planet on which we
live.

The Navigation Instrument

This instrument can tell the time, find latitude and longitude,
measure the angles of the stars, predict the solstices and equinoxes and measure the precession of the equinoxes. The instrument can also find the ecliptic pole as well as the North and South poles, it can make maps and charts, design pyramids and henges and, when it is used in combination with these observatory sites, can record and predict the cycles of nature.

What is this ancient icon that all humanity sees daily and does not recognize? It is the cross.

A form of the cross is on all Christian churches and many gravestones;
it is in literature and song and can be seen hanging round the necks of the faithful all over the world. The teachers of the Christian
faith use it, kneel before it, wear it as part of their raiment and yet they do not recognize it for what it is.

The cross is a maritime treasure trove of wisdom and it was likely a vital tool for constructing and designing the pyramids. Crichton has discovered the remnants of a cross hidden by the House of Amen in the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza. This amazing cross is capable of
measuring angles to an accuracy of three arc minutes.

Crichton proposes that the cross is much older than the pyramids since it is also responsible for the construction of Neolithic henges in
Europe that predate the pyramids by thousands of years. He has also found that this knowledge was rediscovered and kept secret by the
Knight Templars and other "secret societies" throughout the Middle
Ages.

This great secret probably led to the destruction of the Amerindian civilizations at the hands of the Conquistador when they found them measuring the stars with a form of the cross, called the Staff of
Power by the Maya.

To show the comparison of this ancient technology, please look at the photograph of a Celtic cross [pictured on right] in the graveyard of Crichton Churchyard, near Roslyn Chapel in the Scottish borders.

You will see that the cross forms an upright with cross bars set at 90 degrees to each other. In the center of the cross is an object that looks like the hub of a wheel.

According to Crichton, our ancestors never designed things without
purpose and the first purpose of using stone, as a medium, is that of preservation. The second consideration the ancients had was to
incorporate and preserve important knowledge for their descendants. In keeping with the concept of not casting pearls before swine, they hid esoteric messages in certain images that they carved so that future seekers could find what he or she was ready to understand.

In the present discovery, Crichton proposes that these early stone
masons carved a particular object in the ancient cross that closely resembles a wheel and is designed to rotate between cross bars on a hub. If this is the case, as observation seems to confirm, we must
then ask why?

Crichton observes that in some of the older crosses, early masons
incorporated a serpentine design around the wheel and also made the arms of the cross more wide at the outer edge than on the inner. Why?

The answer to these questions only came to Crichton when he was
experimenting with different methods possibly used by the Egyptians to survey the Great Pyramid and align it with the stars. All
constructions require preliminary surveying. The Great Pyramid was an enormous undertaking of civil engineering. Using the simplest of
materials and the accepted mathematical techniques of the Egyptian
era, Crichton assembled a theodolite, which could carry out the tasks required.

With the addition of a scale rule and a plumb line, the instrument
resembled cross and was extremely accurate, fulfilling the required task and much more.

Not long after his discovery, while carrying out further research,
Crichton reviewed the records of the Dixon Relics that were discovered in the North shaft of the pyramid's Queens chamber in 1872. Crichton observed that there were further relics still in the shaft and that these could be seen quite clearly in photographs taken by Rudolph
Gantenbrink (1994) with his famous miniature Robot Uphaut 2. Crichton assembled the relics in a logical format and the astounding result was a cross and plumb line of incredible accuracy.

This artifact is capable of measuring all possible angles. Coupled
with sufficient astronomical knowledge, it reveals how the ancients kept time and measured the stars, the position of the Sun, Moon,
planets and how they used these measurements to sail the oceans of the world.

Crichton has discovered and published this rich source of
understanding in his book The Golden Thread of Time [ISBN
0-9541639-0-7]. Many of these revelations have never been seen by the public before and are a must see for those who seek truth and
understanding. To further make his point be taken seriously, Crichton Miller applied for a patent on the cross and plumb line and the patent was finally granted in November 2000 as an "astronomical, surveying and navigational instrument" by The British Patent Office. The result of this patent is the instrument you see below. As you can see, it is a faithful representation of the Celtic cross in (Figure 1).

This resurrected version of the cross is made so that modern people may understand it and compare it with the cross (in figure 1) or with any Celtic cross in any part of the world. The working cross is marked in degrees round the edge and the wheel spins freely on a hub. The
cross arms are perforated with viewing holes to allow the observer to read the angles. The bottom of the wheel is weighted so that it will always point to the center of the earth. The scale around the outer edge of the wheel runs from 0 degrees at the bottom to 90 degrees
clockwise and anti clockwise, so that horizontal measurements can be taken in any direction through the viewing holes.

You can see the advantages of this instrument immediately when you
look at the photograph below of an observer measuring the angle of the sun as it rises in the east at dawn. As the world spins round, the sun appears to rise from the horizon and its angle of ascent may be read from the scale directly. This angle changes, as the seasons progress throughout the year, and time and place may be determined from the
results of observing stars, planets and constellations.

Crichton considers himself fortunate to have discovered the gift of the cross and to be able to pass this information to his fellow man.
According to Crichton, "The cross should be completely understood by as many as possible, for it was the foundation of the very roots of ancient civilization, wisdom and understanding." Crichton believes
that, in these current, dangerous and confused times, we could do well seeking some deeper knowledge of what our ancestors knew and begin to enjoy the hope and healing that such knowledge brings. Crichton's
website explains much more about his discoveries. His publishers also have a website where a synopsis of his book, The Golden Thread of Time can be read and the book ordered through a secure server.
