This journal is mostly an archive...mostly. If I know you from Tumblr or AO3, you're more likely to find recent stuff there. If I know you from LOTR days and you are looking for me, try karelianlys at gee mail or karelianoflys on Tumblr. The contents here are backed up on Dreamwidth in case of a LiveJournal purge.
My username comes from the novel The Black Chalice by Marie Jakober, in honor of the character Karelian of Lys. I recommend the book to people interested in paganism, Arthurian mythology, medieval Europe, the Church's treatment of suspected witches, Holy Blood, Holy Grail/The Da Vinci Code, and knighthood. Why is that character's name on this journal? Because Sean Bean played him in my head when I read the book, with Orlando Bloom as Paul and Liv Tyler as Raven. My subheader, "Books Are Created From Holy Letters, Just As Angels Are," is a line from The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon by Richard Zimler, which I also recommend.
