The Warrior Is Returning.
When one takes a look at the pygmies who ponce about in the corridors of power, the question is oft-asked, Where are the real men? What is that drives these midgets into seeking power? Is there anything at all in the term, Napoleon Syndrome? Just where is the warrior?
Warrior heritage is embedded within us. In this Yuletide message, The Rogue Cast delves into the mists of ancient history and mythology and concludes the warrior’s return is imminent. In other words, the pendulum will swing back from the realms of the woke crowd and extreme communism of the world’s countries.
The medieval narrative, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a wonderful account of the Arthurian Hero’s fine qualities of character, steeped as they are in honour, chivalry and bravery. The awe-inspiring Green Knight dramatically rides his horse into the Court of Arthur which is in the midst of a 15 day feast in celebration of Yuletide. Whilst there are Christian overtones to the narrative, the story may well harken back to an earlier date and the original form of Christianity as practised by the ancient peoples of Briton. In any event, it is a great tale for Christmas, beginning with a decapitation challenge issued by the Green Knight: one of your knights may chop off my head, in return of which, he shall come to my Green Chapel in a year’s time in readiness for the same.
The opening is interesting in that it relates the founding of these ancient Isles by Brutus – a historical fact that was known to all schoolboys in the not-too-distant past.
“ After the siege and the assault of Troy, when that burg was destroyed and burnt to ashes, and the traitor tried for his treason, the noble Æneas and his kin sailed forth to become princes and patrons of well-nigh all the Western Isles. Thus Romulus built Rome (and gave to the city his own name, which it bears even to this day); and Ticius turned him to Tuscany; and Langobard raised him up dwellings in Lombardy; and Felix Brutus sailed far over the French flood, and founded the kingdom of Britain, wherein have been war and waste and wonder, and bliss and bale, ofttimes since.”
Thus begins the ancient medieval narrative poem, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
It is a tale for the Yuletide, one which has been embellished with Christian mythology and context. Nevertheless, with its references to the Giant knight, the chivalric codes of honour and the Court of King Arthur, it is a compelling narrative which pulls the listener’s imagination into the foggy realms of Britain’s ancient past, linking the arrival of the Aryan-Phoenician Brutus and his people to these islands and the establishment of Briton as a nation.
The poem has associations with Lud’s Church in the Peak District National Park, a region bestrewn with ancient megaliths, water-ways and buried tunnels and dwellings.
When one examines the evidence of these ancient origins of the Brit-ish nation, one is struck by the moral magnitude and sheer size of these noble men, who faced challenges and obstacles that would grind down lesser mortals.
