The designer took his inspiration from Queen Elizabeth I’s 1588 Tilbury Speech.

It's a Walk-Off: Fantastic to see how designer Nabil Nayal was inspired by the British Library's medieval and Tudor collections in his Spring 2019 show! (x)

The Book of Shadows. […] Hear now the words of the witches. The secrets we hid in the night. The oldest of Gods are invoked here. The great work of Magic is sought. In this night and in this hour, I call upon the Ancient Power. Bring your powers to we sisters three! We want the power! Give us the power! CHARMED | 1.01, ‘Something Wicca This Way Comes’ (1998), dir. John T. Kretchmer.

Statera Trium, Chapter 8: Aves, Arbores et Ancora

the infinite and the queen, the warrior and the angel

“I heard you calling my name and I felt you leading me home. Brother Yohannes, who had charge of me when I was a child, named me Infinitas. He said it was because my questions were infinite. I told you it was short for something.”

Rey sniffed, then chuckled through her tears. “Oh. Hello there. I’m Reyna. I never used my whole name. It seemed silly to call myself a queen. I heard you, too. You called me angel. And so I was. You steadied me.”

I drew a miniature. A Geralt miniature. You can call it La Chanson de Geralt de Riv ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Light from a crack in the ancient trunk fell on a nook in the wood—one that held a row of ten or so very old books. Rey approached slowly, gazing at them. As she neared the books, they began to glow faintly, and she felt like the air was thrumming with energy.

She felt almost hypnotized. The books seemed to call her. But unlike the lightsaber on Takodana, that call didn’t feel like a threat. Rather, it felt like a promise, one made long ago and now ready to be fulfilled.

She reached out her hand toward the books, to touch them.

“Who are you?” Luke asked. He had followed her, and now stood looking at her as if for the first time.

Rey was so entranced by the books that she barely noticed that Luke had finally acknowledged her.

“I know this place,” she said. “This is a library.”

Luke stepped in front of her and took one of the books off its shelf. She couldn’t read the ancient runes inside, but she could feel their power.

“Built a thousand generations ago to keep these—the original Jedi texts,” Luke said. “The Aionomica, the Rammahgon, a dozen other mystic-sounding made-up names—the foundation of the ancient faith. They were the first and now, just like me, they are the last of the Jedi religion.”

Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Expanded Edition, pp. 91-92.

“So it is time for the Jedi Order to end,” Luke said.

“Decide we do not, where our place in this story begins or ends. But time it is for you to look past a shelf of old books.”

Despite what he had come to do, despite all he had brooded upon, Luke found himself offended.

“The sacred Jedi texts,” he said.

“Read them have you? Page-turners they were not. Wisdom they held, but that library contained nothing the girl Rey does not already possess.”

Ibid, pp. 194-195.

On the other side of the hold Rose lay in the Falcon’s relief bunk, a diagnostic scanner monitoring her vital signs, while Finn rummaged in the compartments beneath the bunks. They were filled with junk, of course—as Leia and Rey watched, he shoved aside batteries, old tools, and a scattering of ancient books until he finally found what he was looking for, extracting a blanket and gently draping it over Rose’s sleeping form.

Ibid, pp. 308-309.
