They’ve lost their magic touch but some of the songs used to be really special.
Pretty much everything in this project is inspired by Napoleon. He could see the good in most things and he sought to bring everyone together. Even while he gave his life fighting the English government, he always recognized the numerous merits he saw associated with England. I try to apply this also to the forces I that are discuss here.
A joke?
The Sabbateans pretended to belong to groups they really sought to destroy by framing those groups with their destructive behavior.

Another dirty hero’s journey.
I’ve felt compelled to find out how to make a certain necklace I have in mind. To make this necklace, I suppose, I must become a jeweler first. Now I’m on the road of trials trying to sharpen a graver. What’s that? Before I even start attempting to engrave, I must learn how to form and sharpen the tool first.
As always, better art results from the acquisition of better “sanding” skills.
Some have been a bit shocked at my temerity trying to do this on my own. My favorite graver guide however offers nothing but help and encouragement. Shaun Hughes obviously has a passion for engraving and he does whatever he can to make it appealing and accessible to the public.
Rio Grande has been helpful as well.
