    offers a spirited response to her life in rural Tennessee (1994-5), her long sojourn in the United Kingdom and memories of her Canadian youth. Her journeying through the fabled intricacies of word-lore takes the reader relentlessly into that part of the Self that sees the Whole. The Work of Poetry is accomplished - to bind the listener to the inner meaning of language. "Leona serves the reader with poetry that - like a drink from 'Brigit's Well' - refreshes, inspires, and compels meditation."
    - MARILOU AWIAKTA, Author of Selu: Seeking the Corn-Mother's Wisdom and Abiding Appalachia "Leona has painted, in words, Bell Buckle's people and landscapes with a mystical brush, dipped in her soul. This is a book that will move you and enchant for years to come."

    THE INVASION OF FRANCE.
    AGRAMANT, King of Africa, convoked the kings, his vassals, to
    deliberate in council. He reminded them of the injuries he had
    sustained from France, that his father had fallen in battle with
    Charlemagne, and that his early years had hitherto not allowed him
    to wipe out the stain of former defeats. He now proposed to them to
    carry war into France.
    Sobrino, his wisest councillor, opposed the project, representing
    the rashness of it; but Rodomont, the young and fiery king of Algiers,
    denounced Sobrino's counsel as base and cowardly, declaring himself impatient for the enterprise. The king of the Garamantes, venerable for his age and renowned for his prophetic lore, interposed, and assured the King that such an attempt would be sure to fail, unless he could first get on his side a youth marked out by destiny as the fitting compeer of the most puissant knights of France, the young Rogero, descended in direct line from Hector of Troy. This prince was now a dweller upon the mountain Carena, where Atlantes, his

    by Thomas Bulfinch
    Chapters: Chapter 6 - The Invasion of France AGRAMANT, King of Africa, convoked the kings, his vassals, to deliberate in council. He reminded them of the injuries he had sustained from France, that his father had fallen in battle with Charlemagne, and that his early years had hitherto not allowed him to wipe out the stain of former defeats. He now proposed to them to carry war into France. Rodomont treated this declaration of the old prophet with scorn, and it would probably have been held of little weight by the council, had not the aged king, oppressed by the weight of years, expired in the very act of reaffirming his prediction. This made so deep an impression on the council, that it was unanimously resolved to postpone the war until an effort should be made to win Rogero to the camp. King Agramant thereupon proclaimed that the sovereignty of a kingdom should be the reward of whoever should succeed in obtaining the ring of Angelica. Brunello, the dwarf, the subtlest thief in all Africa, undertook to procure it.

    (Andy Tsihnahjinnie, in Navajo History,
    Rough Rock, Arizina: Navajo Curriculum Center) Author's Note:
    (Autumn 1999) Myths of weaving exist around the world as metaphors for creation. The spindle is often an axis mundi and its whirling whorls serve a cosmogonic function. Plato, for example, had a vision of the great goddess Ananke, "Necessity," spinning the universe; the sun, moon, and planets were her spindle's whorls; sirens sang through the webs of time and fate that she wove, and souls endlessly moved through the strands on their way to and from death and rebirth. Many goddesses are spinners and weavers: the Fates of ancient Greece; Athena, also of Greece; Neith of ancient Egypt; in Teutonic myth the Norns spin secret meanings into life; in the American southwest, Grandmother Spider Woman spins all life from the shimmering threads in her belly. It worked. . . . . . .
