A story recently came out that noted Queen Elizabeth I was originally holding a snake in a portrait at the British National Portrait Gallery, but that the snake was eventually covered up by a bouquet of roses. The reason why this was done is unclear, but the story notes that the ambiguity of the snake's meaning could have led to such a decision. I think it's significant because it could have been done to reflect the socio-political circumstances at the time in the late-16th century.I can't imagine that this is recent news. I found this image of the portrait and you can clearly see the snake-figure which started appearing over her hand.
Each age has its symbols–Greece–wisdom=owl I think the snake represents wisdom also, but I have no idea when this came into general acceptance as a valid symbol understood by educated viewers nordo I know why the snake represents wisdom unless it is linked with Lucifer in some manner. On the other hand according to the story--was Lucifer really wise or just beautiful and clever?
Here's the answer:hand, serpent, letter O symbolised by neck pendant (probably st george over dragon, because the serpent in Eden had legs and wings) 4 (pearls) and last of all the Greek small Omega, whichrepresents the uniquely English letter W.All these go to make this number (according to the Elizabethan alphabet: hand 26 + s o d w 18 + 14 + 4 + 21 = 83The number 26 is the sum of H + A +N + D as alphabet place-values. The reason why only HAND is done this way,and not, say, PEARL, is due to something rather special about the number 26 and the hand. It must be sufficient to asy that all writing was done by the hand, and there are ** now ** 26 letters in the alphabet.Read Shake-speares Sonnet 83:I neuer saw that you did painting need,And therefore to your faire no painting set,I found (or thought I found) you did exceed, +++++ see note belowThe barren tender of a Poets debt:And therefore haue I slept in your report,That you your selfe being extant well might show,How farre a moderne quill doth come to short,Speaking of worth, what worth in you doth grow,This silence for my sinne you did impute,Which shall be most my glory being dombe,For I impaire not beautie being mute, When others would giue life, and bring a tombe.There liues more life in one of your faire eyes, ******* see my ref to Lizzies dress with loads of eyes on it.Then both your Poets can in praise deuise.It can be shown that hand = 26 and 2 + 6 = 8 and 8 = 1 + 7 now call that result 17 which is the letter R and add to s o d a thus creating SWORDNow pronounce it; Essssss word and hear Elissssabethsss ssserpenssss.Now take the number of the sonnet: 83 and add making 11now go to the 11th word in the sonnet which is TOnow do to that word what has been done above, thus creating the number 33that is the number of many things, not least the name BACON, and EYE.I think there is another portrait of Elissabeth in a dress with many eyes on it.Now count up the sonnet (like a snake) to the 11th word YOURand find its number also. It is 74.So we have in Shakespeares Sonnet 11, in the 11th word down, the number 33 which is BACON.The 11th word upwards has the number 74, which is the same as for the name WILLIAM.Go to the end of the original Sonnets, and there begins a 47 verse poem called 'A lover's Complaint,'Only in this poem is the name William Shakespeare used. In the Sonnets the name is Shake-speares, and no William is used, even on the front title page.On the first page of A lovers Complaint, is printed in capitals: WILLIAM SNAKESPEARE.There is a picture in an old book of Sir Francis Bacon cutting a snake in two.Can you put two and two together?I have posted three pics. I want to know what the little pic is of.++++++ Note line 3>>>>> I found (or thought I found) you did exceed,contains the 18th word in the sonnet. S was 18th in the old abc. But they needed more space to write a little Greek wordand here's what the did: They wrote I found (where found is the 18th word) and intended that the letters I F and D be noted,Then they added a bracket (as an excuse to write the thing doubled) and wrote the same thing again, onlythis time they use (I thought) meaning we, the readers, should think. And thus we can take a second shotat the phrase 'I found' and extract another two letters I and F. We don't take another 4, this is flagged by the four pearls around Q Lizzies neck.We have now got five letters: I F D and IF. It should be noted how many digits a hand has: we now form the letters to make FIDI FThe Greek word? In English fidi, meaning snake.The last FThe first letter of Francis Bacon.regards

That's an interesting example. Seems that scholars should have already noted the Elizabeth-snake connection, yet the fact that the painting mentioned in my original post was different enough to be noted in the popular news. Not sure why this is the case.
Seems I remember Jimmy Page used to wear a jump suit with a snake coiling around his legs for his concert attire. But he was into black magic and Aleister Crowely. What was Elizabeth into I wonder?

hiwhat do mainstream scholars know? they've spent the past two hundred years with their heads in the wrong place.The facts are these: as far as I am aware there is not one scholar, with one femtometer of knowledge, about shakespeare.All is ifs and buts (mostly the latter).Name one article that states in absolute terms what the Sonnets are all about. Betcha can't.Try and convince a Jehova's W that Pythagoreans were correct. The same thing when talking to scholars.It's no surprise then to see that the plays marked as shakespeare don't think much of them.Inkpots is a word which comes to mind whenever shakespearean shcolar are mentioned.regardsssss
I wonder if any scholars might give an opinion on this fair maideand the slithery chappie who seems to be eating some titbit or other.Where, might this image be found? is, methinks a reasonable quessssssssssstion'regardsss ss s
