...and the last from Goth Galicia doors etc...for now...

...doors are the most important places. The Roman god Janus guarded them and looked both ways with his head facing back and front...to the past and future. He is the oldest of gods from the time of Romulus and Remus. He is the god of doors, portals, passageways and transitions - concrete and abstract, life/death, beginning/end, youth/adulthood, rural/urban, war/peace. Transformations and shifts. He ruled over all life changes, birth, death, harvest, planting, seasons, new beginnings. He held the key to heaven. Janus was celebrated first before any other god at all ceremonies.

…Wolf Queen film just posted here…

The rewilding of Queen Lupa....  7th century Galician Queen Lupa outwits Rome, church, early empire powers, Visigoths and annoying pilgrims dragging the body of their Apostle all over her territory. She and her countrywomen freak out the patriarchal, order-loving Romans and early Catholic Church and confound their dreams. They call them 'witches' for their healing and uncanny animal skills, herbal lore, astronomy and ancient knowledge. Intriguing variations in Lupa’s legend compelled me to make an examination of her character in film for Planet of Dreams 2022.
