...from wolf land in north Portugal (Galicia) two wolf tales....
Wolf Queen 2022 tells the first century legend of Queen Lupa, and her territory, where the body of St. James was carried 'in a stone boat drifting from the Mediterranean' to be buried by his disciples. It's a crazy story on both sides. Queen Lupa outwitted Romans, Visigoths, Catholic Church, local rulers, Muslim conquerers, and Spanish empire to remain unconquered. An 11th century monk first writes the tale in his travel book written for the Pope on the pilgrimage path to St. James' burial site in uber-goth Santiago Cathedral. The monk tries to erase, propagandise and slander her at the same time, while creating St. James patron of the bloody crusade wars to conquer Holy Lands. With Portuguese singer Tamara Pereira and her dog Sayuri. https://ceceliachapman.com/planet-of-dreams/
