This Myth Salon is being offered as a follow-up to the first presentation Dyane Sherwood gave on October 21. The consensus is that she only partially covered the material she had prepared for her talk, so we are convening the panel and back by popular demand, announcing that she is graciously returning to the Myth Salon to complete her presentation and deepen her explorations of the Splendor Solis.

This is not a repeat of her first Splendor Solis presentation. She will present new material that explores in greater depth more of the illuminated panels.

The illuminated manuscript of the Splendor Solis is one of the Treasures of the British Library, and in recent years has become widely known for the beauty of its 22 illuminated paintings. In her presentation, Dyane Sherwood will place the Splendor Solis in context, give the audience an overview, and then focus on some of the images in depth. We will discover the sophisticated consciousness behind three series of images that portray a process of depth transformation that moves from (1) a personal process, (2) to an appreciation of a relationship between archetypal, environmental, and inner states, and (3) finally to a profound acceptance of the nature of being.
