Is it also John the Baptist's head in that as well? <BR/><BR/>The Invisibles is well worth a look, as is Alan Moore's Promethea, two different takes on modern magick.metabaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198398690760252404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013600.post-1173959286823455832007-03-15T07:48:00.000-05:002007-03-15T07:48:00.000-05:00Haven't read The Invisibles, but the talking disem...Haven't read <I>The Invisibles</I>, but the talking disembodied head goes at least as far back as <I>The Mabinogion</I>, in which the Head of Bran the Blessed does considerable prophesying 'n' such.MWShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072845997157010606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013600.post-1173900713838059582007-03-14T15:31:00.000-05:002007-03-14T15:31:00.000-05:00Lol.

Is she an Ipsissimus? :)<BR/><BR/>There's a similar Black Lodge to Moonchild in That Hideous Strength, and it comes across that it is even more unpleasant to be a member.

PERELANDRA is, in my opinion, the strongest of them.

It was actually better than I expected it to be. I was inspired to read it by a recent, excellent biography of the lad himself by Martin Booth.
