The pure White Land of Albion was Mary’s Dowry or marriage
offering. Mary was in this sense Minerva Britannia, the daughter of the
Triple Goddess in her guise of Anna. 1019 The nine Muses that interplay
throughout Shakespeare’s Histories, Comedies and Tragedies represent
this same goddess.
Minerva Britannia is the sacred Muse of the Knight of
Holiness. 1020 She represents his perfect and holy intelligence. Minerva is
the patron goddess of Britain, who as Pallas Athena sprung from the head
of Zeus after Vulcan split it open with an axe. Pallas Athen was shaking
the spear of illumination at the dragon of ignorance, vice and
selfishness. 1021 The nom de plume Shake-speare derives from this
astonishing and beautiful British spear shaker. Ironically, she is the most
important Goddess of the Achaeans, rather than the Trojans.
The various writing styles evident in Shakespeare suggest the
nom de plume was for a team. Probable members include Richard Field,
Richard de Vere 17 th Earl of Oxford, Gabriel Harvey, Edmund Spenser,
Sir Edward Dyer, Sir Philip Sidney and Sir Francis Bacon. Their interest
seems focused around the players companies that performed each year on
St John the Evangelist’s Day, December twenty-seventh, a traditional
assembly day of Freemasons.
Minerva is the light of the countenance of God. 1022 She bore the
Word and Light of God as a Seed of Light from the heavenly Father to
impregnate the Earthly Mother in the same way as the Shekhinah, or
Immanent Principle of God, fell from the highest heaven to the abyss. 1023
Athena’s helmet and Minerva's veil only conceal in order to
reveal and thus are equivalent to the white dog rose. 1024 Quite aware of
this delicate hermetic drift, the Tudor Kings and Queens adopted the
white rose as their symbol, as did the Calebites who adopted the white
rose as the symbol of their heritage and their special land. Britain also
adopted Michael directly as its patron protector in the same way as the
Essenes had looked to Michael for protection of their land.
Michael's name means He who is like unto God. Michael is the
pre-eminent angel of the Heart of God. 1025 He carries the flaming sword
of truth and a shield emblazoned with the red cross of St George.
The companionship of the angel Michael and St George is not by
chance. They are twin aspects of one. St George is the counterpart that is
the human soul. We shall see this duality of twins in more detail in
Chapter 22. Suffice that for the Tudors, the angel Michael and Knight St
