"One would have taken her for a little angel, she was so very beautiful; for her swooning away had not diminished one bit of her complexion; her cheeks were carnation,and her lips were coral; indeed, her eyes were shut, but she was heard to breathe softly, which satisfied those about her that she was not dead. The King commanded that they should not disturb her, but let her sleep quietly till her hour of awaking was come."

So did Will warn Bell to kill Abel before he killed her at the medicine wheel?
Now Abel has taken off?
Why didn't Will just save her, like he did in the past!
Why wouldn't Gone grab her again?

so many questions!

Interesting video.

I didn't see any codes to work on. Did I miss anything?

That music was crazy!

In teresting music, interesting imagery. Well done, I must say.

I don't think there are any direct codes to see here, but a few plot clues seem to have come in.
The title itself, Morning Star may mean Lucifer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer and the tag. Hesperus is latin for the evening star http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesperus.
I'm not sure about Perun and Veles yet but Aesculapius was tagged in Sean's last video and is the name for the Roman medicine god. Probably what all those snakes were refering to.

I think the description is quoted from Sleeping Beauty, but I'm not positive.

I tell ya, there's a lot happening at once here. I still need to catch up on the londonfiles stuff.

I loved the music in this one, but everything else is so confusing! Sleeping Beauty, Aesculapius, that hexagon with dots around, and there's that Tree of Life thing again with another node colored yellow... I feel lost in the woods here.

Alright, found a few answers, which raise more questions:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perun
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veles_%28god%29

This mythology keeps growing.

Slavic mythology?

Isn't Annabel originally from that region?...kinda sorta?

More on Morning/Evening Star:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesperus

Hesperus (Greek Hesperos) is the personification of the "evening star", the planet Venus in the evening. His name is sometimes conflated with the names for his brother the personification of the planet as the "morning star" Eosphorus (Greek Ἐωσφόρος, "bearer of dawn") or Phosphorus (Greek Φωσφόρος, "bearer of light", often translated as "Lucifer" in Latin), since they are all personifications of the same planet Venus. "Heosphoros" in the Greek LXX Septuagint and "Lucifer" in Jerome's Latin Vulgate were used to translate the Hebrew "Helel" (Venus as the brilliant, bright or shining one), "son of Shahar (Dawn)" in the Hebrew version of Isaiah 14:12.

When named thus by the early Greeks, it was thought that Phosphoros (Venus in the morning) and Hesperos (Venus in the evening) were two different celestial objects. The Greeks later accepted the Babylonian view that the two were the same, and the Babylonian identification of the planets with the Great Gods, and dedicated the "wandering star" (planet) to Aphrodite (Roman Venus), as the equivalent of Ishtar.

So who's who in our story?

I think you're right.

Annabel's Interests
General History, Native American history, Russian history, art, music, friendship, rain, gardening, cooking, dancing, [etc.]

and,

I was born in Bulgaria Russia but moved to the USA when I was but 3 after the fall of USSR.

Isn't Bulgaria Russia inaccurate? Should be Bulgaria (USSR), I think.

I think you're right Deagol. But hey, she was a baby when she left and she doesn't strike me as much of a scholar either. But she's mentioned rain a few times before.

Interesting parallels between twilight and the hypnogognic state. Maybe Sean and Bell represent dusk and dawn; them being or have been in the twilight/hypnogognic state before. Gone being the StormGenie that he is may represent Perun which would leave the earth god, Veles as Abel.

Am I reading too much into this?

I don't know that you're reading too much in...but at this point, StormGenie is narrating...and seems to be suggesting that Sean/Will can bring her back somehow? Maybe I'm falling into the most simplistic part (Sleeping Beauty/Prince Charming), but... And how does that ugly little gnome thing all of a sudden have ANYone's back?

And Henry, glad to see you're reading londonfiles stuff!! I was hoping someone had hollered your way!

HenrySugar · Post by **HenrySugar** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 1:39 pm

Yeah, I caught the londonfiles stuff. I like how these stories cross reference each other. There are so many parallels between the two you'd think they'd been planning this for months...or at least weeks.

lol, when Gone says he's watching Sean's back, it sounded more like a threat than anything else. But he does enjoy his fairytales doesn't he?

First was when he was referencing Red Ridinghood with that Katherine girl. Then Beauty and the Beast, and now Sleeping Beauty. I wonder who's next.

Don't forget the Little Mermaid reference, Henry! (hey, it's a reference I figured out all by myself...I've gotta bring it up...

)
