The Eternal Slave and it’s Rider

August 19, 2017

In my novels is a wild stag, well an enchanted stag – who manifests into a VAMPIRE!

“The STAG, superior in flight,

drove the horse from the common pasture,

till the latter worsted in the long contest,

Implored the aid of man and received the bridle;

but after had he parted an exulting conqueror from his enemy,

he could NOT shake the rider from his back,

nor the bit from his mouth.

So he who is afraid of poverty,

forfeits his liberty,

more valuable than mines,

avaricious wretch,

shall carry a master,

and shall eternally be a slave …”

Castle Eilean Donan

August 10, 2017

The castle Eilean Donan became the seat of MacKenzie clan after Colin Mackenzie saved King Alexander III from a wild stag during the Battle of Largs in 1263.  Robert the Bruce made this castle is hiding place during King Edward invasion to swash the rebellious Scottish clans and fulfill his desire to gain the power of the Stone of Destiny for England.

Seen below, within the MacKenzie clan’s crest appears a wild stag with fire burning above it, surrounded by an almost naked man with a crown holding a torch and his faithful dog.  The slogan reads “Luco Non Uro” which means, “I Shine, Not Burn”

In my book, the main character, Sharon’s has ancestors that are direct descendants to this MacKenzie bloodline.  As Sharon becomes more aware of her heritage, she comes to understand that the slogan”I Shine, Not Burn” refers to the MacKenzie chiefs diligence to pass on the understanding and meaning of being naked before their God, wearing the crown of honor than enable one to fight off evil entities and invisible dark powers using ‘true fire’ spoken by words found in The Good Scrolls, versus ‘strange fire’ spoken by aliens who use words of  magic found in The Book of Dragons.   As an descendant of Colin MacKenzie, Sharon has a right claim a portion of the inheritance of this grant estate.  But she soon finds that being an heiress to the MacKenzie bloodline is both the blessing and curse.
