In the 1980's I had 180 pages of illuminations done of
16 pages of his work. These will be a work on their own.
Some small illuminations samples are on the web-site of
Azatlan. They have been done by Leo del Pasqua a very talented
artist who is presently living in Ottawa.

The Three Mermaids:
-written by John Hugh Roberts
These were his three teachers as a child. One
from Brettany, another from Cornwall and the last or
his supposed Grandmother from northern Wales.
Excerpt: "...and because of this reference to the sea,
doubtless, they received the name of mermaids.... and
once every year they (with others) visited a famous
stone circle, and a certain cave and relics, observing
some ceremonies, the object of which at that time was
unknown to me. ....etc." |

The Gaelcerth or
Bonfire at Halloween:
- written about by John Hugh
Roberts
- Taking place in the 1830's
"....while thus engaged, there is a great commotion
among the large crowd. The Queen of the Fairies was
approaching. She was dressed so fantastically that her
best friend could not have known her. At her approach
a large ring was formed, into which the queen marched
with a number of her subjects. The Master of the Ceremony
approached the ring and conversed with the queen. .....
etc " |

Chief Festivals of the
Druids -written by John Hugh Roberts
Except from a song sung in in a ceremony on the seashore in Cornwall England in the 1830's.
It was sung in the ancient language Kymric:
"....the Druids and Christians shall meet on the shore
Foot to foot, knee to knee,
Breast to breast, embracing.
With the kiss of goodwill
We will fulfill
The ancient custom of Lamprying.
.........etc" |

Nennius written by John Hugh Roberts
Nennuis was a supposed Catholic Bishop/Historian in the 6th century.
John Hugh suggests in his writings that he found his tomb...?
The Stone Door:
"...when I discovered this book in the underground chamber
in that old mansion long ago, I gazed with wonder on
his bones still parly in the stone chari, where he had
peened these words long ago. There were wome tatters
of his vestments also there and other things proving
that he was in "Holy Order". The cause of this man's
death was his disregard of 'the key'....etc" |
