Ancient Scripts and non-script visual symbols are inherently mysterious in that they evoke a sense of times unknown.

Undeciphered scripts are espcially intrigueing, they can still mean anything.

But even deciphered scripts are embodied with a sense of things other-worldly by virtue of their origin in periods of humanity so foreign to us that we simultaneously romanticize and abhor them. These scripts symbolize beliefs that we now know to be false as well as ancient wisdom that we no longer emply but still half-believe, if only because we want to.

By applying these symbols in fictitious societal constructions we are able to explore and expand our fantasies of their usage, meanings and implications.

Chivalry as a Code and a Language! (19 posts)

Historical Thread
This may seem a strange place to make such a statement, but I would challenge all that CHIVALRY has a place in both ancient and modern day adaptations, both mythical and in truth. Chivalry is a language spoken by touch, by words, by signs and by actions and truly is a SCRIPT in of itself that describes a mysterious type of cause and righteous behavior that finds a place in both reality and fantasy. I challenge you all to take note of this, and search the mysteries of Chivalry and its often unspoken, mysterious and often secret codes see where it fits into your life, thoughts, dreams, and your reality?!
