Les Emblèmes de la Foi Nouvelle.

Vallée des Saints.

Les Dieux de l’Antique Babylone, les Dieux de l’ancienne Égypte… que sont-ils devenus ?
Les Dieux de la Grande ’Athènes, de l’Impériale Rome ?
Et les Divinités des Aztèques, des Toltèques, des Mayas ?

Plus personne aujourd’hui n’offre de sacrifice à Baal, et plus personne n’apporte des fleurs de lotus en offrande à Horus,. Quetzalcoatl ne réclame plus le sang des guerriers prisonniers. Et Zeus ou Junon ne sont plus connus que par les livres d’Histoire ou de Philosophie...
Ces dieux jadis redoutés ont disparu dès l’instant que s’effondraient les civilisations qui les vénéraient...
La Croix Celtique n’ a de celte que de nom : Elle annonce la fin des Dieux de l’Armorique.


Emblems of the New Faith

The Gods of Ancient Babylon, the Gods of Ancient Egypt… what have they become?
The Gods of Great Athens, Imperial Rome?
What about the deities of the Aztecs, the Toltecs, the Mayans?

No one today offers sacrifice to Baal, and no one brings lotus flowers as an offering to Horus. Quetzalcoatl no longer demands the blood of the captured warriors. And Zeus or Juno are known only by the books of History or Philosophy...
These once feared gods disappeared as soon as the civilizations that worshipped them collapsed...
The Celtic Cross is Celtic only name: It announces the end of the Gods of Armorica.

an interesting scene so strongly articulated...yes, remarkable how the gods have changed guise, although the old superstitions remain for so many...the monkish figure wields his cross in a threatening manner, underscoring the sober nature of the western god, and the religious corporations with such a shabby and sordid side so frequently coming to light..

Très très beau. Il y en a encore, des dieux, mais ils ne remplissent pas les coeurs d'espoir ou de passion.
