401 - Robin Hood: The Original Green Man (Nottingham talk)

401 - Robin Hood: The Original Green Man (Nottingham talk)

I was invited to give this talk on Robin Hood in Nottingham—just a stone’s throw from Sherwood Forest—on the feast of Pentecost. What began as a reflection on a beloved folk hero opened into something deeper: a meditation on rebellion, trickery, legitimacy, and the strange holiness that's possible for jesters and outlaws. In this talk, I explore how Robin Hood, the Green Man, King David, and even figures from Islamic tradition and Arthurian legend, all point toward a surprising truth—that the margins of society can conceal servants of the true King. I hope you enjoy it.

COURSE: Scripture: The Key to Reality, presented by Seraphim Hamilton

This course is designed to help students appreciate the unique role the Bible plays in helping us step into the world as it truly is: a symbolic revelation of the Infinite God. Scripture is symbolic because it is a revelation of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is the Archetype of the World. In a way, then, Scripture enfolds within itself the totality of the world, guiding its hearers to see an icon of Christ in each of God’s creatures: from trees to beasts to priests.

Paul VanderKlay has been extensively commenting on Jordan Peterson and how he is connecting to, disrupting and fostering a return to the Bible and Christianity in the Western world. We explore his motivations, his interpretations for engaging with Jordan Peterson, and also discuss a wild variety of things from CS Lewis, to symbolism, to African Christianity.

23- The Symbolism of the Tree

The Tree can be seen as a symbol of order as it converges into the one, but it can also be seen as order as it separates into the many.

22- The Symbolism of Christmas - The Ass and the Ox

22- The Symbolism of Christmas - The Ass and the Ox

The notion that there was an ass, or a donkey, and an ox present at the birth of Christ is not in the Bible, yet it is one of the earliest and most persistent images in the representations of the Nativity even until today. I explore the symbolism surrounding this Christmas tradition and how it shows us the purpose of extra-biblical traditions. It connects with notions of the incarnation, purity and how extreme elements are brought together in Christ. For more on this, please check two of my article. - The Ass and the Ox in the Nativity Icon: https://www.orthodoxartsjournal.org/why-an-ass-and-an-ox-in-the-nativity-icon/ - The Cave in the Nativity Icon: https://www.orthodoxartsjournal.org/the-cave-in-the-nativity-icon/ Original video: https://youtu.be/xUOBZoFEeWQ My links: patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pageauvideos paypal: https://www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau website: http://www.thesymbolicworld.com facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheSymbolicW... twitter: https://twitter.com/pageaujonathan My website designers, Anomalist Design: https://www.anomalistdesign.com/ The music at the opening is Russian Eastern Overture, by Rimsky Korsakov.
