What a Rush!
Lis Interpretations/Associations 04
(continued from Lis Interpretations/Associations 03)
So we’re going to make a stab at Lis Interpretations/Associations 04. Since writing Lis I/A 03 the whole Falmouth series has unfolded suddenly. Excitement! But more to interpret, and because of the complexity of the 4 part series which acts as one whole going around in a circle, I have decided to go ahead and attempt to analyze that at the same time. So returning to Lis, and I assume Hucka D. is around this morning to help me, we have a late addition to Lis 05 that he didn’t approve of first, as I understand, but likes more now in light of Falmouth. So… this is Andrew Wythe’s Christina, from the painting of the same name. Hucka?
Christina is the same as both the man and the woman extending through Lis 01 Lis 02, and Lis 03 04, 04 to be specific. But it acts as a diptych so it’s really the first 3 pictures of the Lis series this figure appears in. And then she returns here, but in a slightly different form. In Lis 01, she is the woman, lone woman by herself, like the mountain in the center of Hayes County, Texas.* In Lis 02 she is paired with a man, making a Lone Woman and a Lone Man. In Lis 03 04, the man is without the woman — Lone Man. Can you find a picture of a map of this county quickly enough, baker b.?
baker b. (after a pause): I had to reload it.
Hucka D.:
Cool. That’s Hays County — sorry. The only Hayes County is in Nebraska and has basically no one in it. That was used in Latona 06 I believe — Hayes Center, the county seat. But it’s Hays we’re now shifting our attention to, and it’s really about [President] Hayes, once more. Shifted. So to return to Lone Man/Lone Woman, we have the man then approaching what we know is a mock up of Cygnus X-1 and its sun and black hole relationship. That’s new information. The man approaches — he is meeting Meat Shake, which is the same. It’s two things that shouldn’t belong together. Black Holes shouldn’t exist. We talked about black holes in the other important Avebury collage, or Latona 03 04. The Red Lion woman watched it form and become perfected — a perfect circle like a perfect ring — on the top of the Red Lion pub before fully manifesting between the 2 prominent Avebury rocks to its right in that diptych. Another diptych, then, like Lis 03 04, and with the same 2 numbers (03 04 of each series). Already we could illuminate this further by discussion of Falmouth, it has become so central. The rock in-between the 2 rocks the red clad being is seemingly stealing in Falmouth 03 is the same size as the circle of meditators atop the Red Lion pub in Falmouth 01. We have gone quite far, baker b. Good work once more. I lost my bet.
bb:
Thanks. Not to get away from Lis 05 too far, but I’m wondering if the vacant corner of Falmouth will be filled with something. Already I’m seeing Harrison’s hand in place of Hayes, and maybe his head in place of Hayes. But what would that mean?
Hucka D.:
We better stick to Lis 05. So here we have the Christina addition, which will become more understandable in Falmouth, once more. There it points to an alternate Falmouth where siginificant elements of Max Ernst’s “The Robing of the Bride” were/are/will be used, including the blue-green gargoyle with the spear, and als the prominent red plumage of the central “bride”, as it were. But in the Falmouth you decided to create, you substituted Ernst with the sweeter, much sweeter Man/Woman of 12 Oz Mouse, who instead pats the should of the central Red Lion woman, instead of trying to stab her, you see. Her hand becomes central. But once more we have wandered back to Falmouth.
bb:
The swan of Lis 05 — returning to that — has also been more recently altered to include an eye. And this is the same eye from the central figure of Lis 04, the preceding collage. This is the black hole of Cygnus X-1.
Hucka D.:
Yes. Most definitely yes.
bb:
The… you go ahead.
Hucka D.:
The swan swims on the line between two geograph squares, which are all 1 kilometer square. This is SU016 and SU116. The Crammer, the central pond of Lis 05, is on the line between the two. As the collage combines two Crammer locations into one to make the pond non-dimensional, one can say that it too has collapsed into a black hole. The Crammer is the black hole. The moon is trapped inside the water but cannot be raked out because it really doesn’t exist in our dimension. That’s the true story behind Devizes’ Moonrakers myth. It is that this lake, this pond, has become a black hole. In your collage — Lis 05, you did rake the moon out of the pond, but only by combining it with the sun, the little yellow fellow in the front. The moon touches the shore — Moon Landing. Yellow being manifests inside. This is pulling out of the black hole by the sun of Cygnus X-1. Matter has reversed out of the black hole and back into the sun. The yellow figure, who is McCoy in the Jelly Fox seeking group, is the same as the Meat Shake of Lis 04. Or the meat part anyways. And with this yellow guy, McCoy, comes the other parts of TILE that he is always attached to. They manifest at all the same time. This is the gargoyles as well of Lis 03, but their positive side, their future side if you may. If I may. They all drink from the TILE cup, which is Shake as well of course, as we’ll see illustrated in Lis 09 coming up. This group although they originate in Devizes and The Crammer, point to The Country beyond The Town for ultimate answers about Lis. They point to Alton Priors and Alton Barnes and Honeystreet and Falmouth beyond.
bb:
Let’s then get back to Lis 06. I won’t put up the picture again, but this is out in The Country now. We look over the top of Alton Barnes and Alton Priors toward Woodborough Hill, Hucka D., the site of the sunfish crop circles early in last years season, and already used in a number of Gilatona-Lis collages, most openly in Latona 00. In The Country… you go ahead again… sorry…
Hucka D.:
In The Country, the 4 part nature of TILE is more fully revealed as a rotating wheel that first appears as The Sun within The Moon in Lis 05. Here it begins as the same underneath or attached to the Rockley rock with the Rockley crop circle picture etched or engraved on its surface. This sculpture, last time we checked, still exists in The Barge at Honeystreet. It will prominently reappear in Falmouth, but let’s not go there again quite yet. The story behind this rock is that it’s symbolically Patrick Star’s rock of the Spongebob Squarepants Show, a favorite of your family as I understand.
bb:
We watch it all during Christmas, yeah. (laughs)
Hucka D.:
Truthfully it’s the silliness they don’t like, and the show, up front, states if you don’t enjoy nautical nonsense then it may not be to your liking.
bb:
But back to Lis 06, it’s Patrick’s rock, his home, and we know this from the star crop circle that appeared on top of Furze Hill in 2007, followed by a square shaped crop circle in the next field over in 2009 indicated his main bud Spongebob Squarepants, shaped like a square. I think we’ve already talked about those circles, along with the one that appeared at the bottom of Furze Hill — is it Knoll or Hill? — that also obviously indicted Patrick’s rock home, 3d style.
Hucka D.:
It’s Furze Knoll, I believe.
bb:
So this is Furze Knoll crop circles, then, imported to a location several miles southwest, where we look toward Woodborough Hill over the top of The Altons. Oh, I just thought of something — Latona is an anagram of Alton (!)
Hucka D.:
The 4 prime energies of TILE, let loose in The Country, are now rolling around in freedom. They are motoring. They quickly get on the highway for further adventures. They head to The Altons. Should we end? I think we should.

(continued from Lis Interpretations/Associations 02)
“I think it is a basic mistrust of all-things-town, Hucka D. The 4 characters of TILE arise from The Crammer, or between the two parts of The Crammer which are actually one part, because of the pull of The Country. The 4 gargoyles, kind of parallel monsters here, are The Town, and reach a dead end at the east portal of that old railway tunnel running underneath Devizes Castle, or what passes for a castle now.
Hucka D.:
Perhaps the gargoyles were attempting to restore the old castle, and add to its decor. Stone [attracts] stone, after all.
bb:
Never heard of that. But at any rate we can move to Lis 06, called “Hugs All ‘Round”, I believe. (checking) No, it’s “Rock’n Home”. We have the reappearance of Spongebob Squarepants in Gilatona-Lis, and this time with his best pal Patrick Star. Sbsp appears first in Latona 01, peering out of the opened front door of his pineapple home, speaking of homes. And I suppose here in the newer collage we have a nod to Patrick’s rock home now, which appears in front of him… But the rock is actually from The Barge in Honeystreet, very near Alton Priors which we will be speaking of in a moment. It’s from a picture of this rock I found online, which strangely and queerly depicts the same crop circle I’ve already used several times in Gilatona-Lis collages, originally in Gila 05 but also in Latona 05. This despite it not being a very famous crop circle, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
*We* put the rock there. [The] Lis [collages] are very tight. You would see the rock, or the picture of the rock from The Barge, and immediately know you had to use it in a new collage. This then becomes Patrick Star’s rock house or home as well, since you made that association beforehand.
bb:
Here’s the post you’re talking about.. oh, it’s already there (!):
https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2013/03/03/more-wiltshire-shots/
And then here’s the Marshall photo I use as the base for Lis 07.
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1744705
This is taken several miles east of Devizes, not too far into the country, then. The distinct hill in the distance is Woodborough Hill, which was the site of not one but several of those sunfish related crop circles from 2012. Including the one depicted in part at the bottom of Latona 00, returning to that collage once more.
Hucka D.:
Cool. There’s Lisa the Vegetarian in the new one [Lis 06] as well. She appears to be hugging one of the gargoyles from the statue. As Marshall himself pointed out, this is Bart Simpson, 12th Century style. But the spirit of the gargoyle or monster is trapped in that gravestone transported from The Crammer location, or the location of [Lis 05]. You must hug and love the gargoyles within yourself, baker b., in order to be free of them. You move out into The Country to do this. The Town cannot give you what you need. You search elsewhere — country.
bb:
Like we’ve moved the progression of the Lis series from Devizes — town — out into the countryside, specifically the area around Alton Priors and The Barge itself and the famed Alton Barnes white horse, and so on. Most sacred spot. Here we also have at least one of the 4 TILE monsters or creatures from Lis 05 returning just below Patrick’s crop circle adorned rock. This would be the little yellow fellow again, called McCoy in The Jelly Fox episode of Noel Fielding’s Luxery Comedy show.
Hucka D.:
He’s the one with diabetes (smiles).
bb:
Yeah, but it’s no laughing matter. Perhaps not even a smiling matter. (Hucka D.’s smile is erased.)
Hucka D.:
But…
bb:
But he represents The Sun, the counterpart to The Moon. He’s within The Moon, just as in Latona 02 you have The Sun being swallowed, seemingly, by The Moon. And Fielding himself is swallowed into The Moon when he plays that particular character in The Mighty Boosh. There’s a scene in the first episode of his Luxery Comedy where he reappears in this rather famous role, only to state he’s not in this show. Quite funny.
Hucka D.:
Can I smile again, then?
bb:
Sure. (Hucka D.’s smile returns.)

“In looking again at Latona 00, I feel that all three “stones” we’re talking about here, the one Lisa is sitting on in Latona 00 and then the two (grave stone and rock with crop circle) are one and the same. And all 3 stones are in fact The Diamond from Lis 00. It represents knowledge… Arkansas knowledge. I revisited The Diamond at Metril yesterday, Hucka D.”
Hucka D.:
Great. Singing frogs. Fantastic. They were chatting about how f—ing cold they were, and why did they have to be hatched so early? You’d be doing the same… in fact you were… in your head.
bb:
Returning to Lis 06, obviously the two rocks or stones are associated. According to the turns of The Moon in the foreground, representing its 4 phases seemingly, we have the downward turned moon associated with yellow and the rock from The Barge, and then the upward turned or “horned” moon associated with the grave stone carried over from Lis 05, the one with the Bart spirit within.
Hucka D.:
Bart The Gargoyle. Hugged by Lisa the Vegetarian. Did you know in the early days of The Simpsons, Lisa was seen more as a female Bart. Only later in the series did she acquire her own unique character. Lisa the Vegetarian [season 6 episode] is an important landmark in this progression to individuality. She exists separate from Bart, able to stand apart from him. But love him and his gargoylian ways still. The Simpson males have a degenerative gene that carries over from generation to generation. The female Simpsons are not so cursed.
bb:
Yeah, I read something about that[ not surprisingly]. So Lisa here is loving or hugging somewhere that she had come from, but now stands apart from. A brother to her instead of she herself. As the gravestone is from The Crammer, and is where The Moon originates from in Lis 05…
Hucka D.:
The rotating Moon, actually one Moon, has absorbed the colored energy of the 4 Crammer monsters and trapped it within a 4-part mandala that are called its phases. These are yellow — full moon — blue — new moon — green and red and the half moons, then. The progress of The Moon across the landscape of Lis 06, which would be atop Alton Priors, even, hidden just below the line of trees beneath Woodborough Hill…
bb:
Yes.
Hucka D.:
… Well, I lost my train of thought. Train?
bb:
Thank you for that interpretation. Anything else about Lis 06? We are out in the country, specifically Alton Priors and Alton Barnes and Honeystreet, which are all connected anyway, and away from Devizes. But still close to the latter. We are approaching *home*. We are approaching The End.
Hucka D.:
The grave stone has an eye. It is peering toward The Rock that is the same as itself. The rock does not progress beyond itself. Lisa the Vegetarian has. She has learned to love. She is heart.

“We’re probably on the Meat Shake concept, Hucka D. Got a decent amount of sleep last night for a change.”
Hucka D.:
Good to snooze through the night once in a while. The Meat Shake is a combination of your Meatwad, your Shake. Shake seen already in Latona 02 (center). He will be seen again in Lis 09. This is not really your Shake here, but a combo monster, like you indicated. And there is an eye next to him.
bb:
Perhaps I better create a close up of what we’re talking about. Oh, and before I forget, I thought I’d put up the links for the Brian R. Marshall geograph photos these two collages are based upon. They’re a part of a set, just like the collages…
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2388037
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2388024
And here’s the detail I mentioned…
The photos are of an old railroad track called the Holt to Patney Railway. The detail above is from the front of a tunnel which runs under the Devizes Castle, although it no longer acts as a train conduit now. The second photo linked to above shows its blocked up east portal, and the eye and the “Meat Shake” I’ve been speaking above are just in front of this portal. In the collage, a man approaches them — it’s the same man on the right side of Lis 02, who has ditched the girl now and stands alone, just as the girl formerly was alone in Lis 01. As I think I talked about before, I believe the man and woman are one entity, and perhaps akin to the Lone Man/Lone Woman twinned peaks at the center of Hays County, Texas. Just thought I’d throw that in.
Hucka D.:
Hmph.
bb:
So what do you think of this “Meat Shake”, Hucka D.? The man who is the same as McCartney seems to be interested in meeting him. Then the *front* of McCarney is seen inside a pot to the right, facing the camera this time. This is culled from the front of the Sgt. Pepper cover, once more. Again beside him is Lisa the Vegetarian. Obviously these 3 figures — the blue clad man with his back to us, Paul Mac facing us, and then Lisa V. — are directly related to Latona 00 and the front and back covers of Sgt. Pepper, as well as the screen shot from the Smipson’s “Lisa the Vegetarian” episode in season 6.
https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/3759/
Hucka D.:
You’re saying that you think the man in Lis 04 with his back turned toward us, the one “meeting” Meat Shake, is McCartney again because he is similar to the Paul in Latona 00 with his back turned toward us?
bb:
Yes. Don’t you think? Seems obvious.
Hucka D.:
(pausing to look) Okay, yeah, now that I compare the two — Latana 00 and Lis 04 — I can see that you are talking correctly. Proceed.
bb:
I suppose I’m just asking: Who or what is Meat Shake?
Hucka D.:
(pausing again) It… is the opposite of the grave the woman stares at in Lis 01. It is The Beginning. Genesis. Not Revelation. How’s that?
bb:
Interesting. I also forgot to mention that I bring these mystery figures “forward” in the collage by doubling their size and positioning them in front of the originals, with the original images kept behind them, or in the background.
Hucka D.:
Cool. They are coming up to meet the McCartney with his back to us.
bb:
I should also add, if I haven’t already, that this tunnel, this portal is just behind St. John’s church in Devizes and can be easily walked to from there. So that fits into the story that it’s the same man as in Lis 02, who is the same as the woman in Lis 01 and Lis 02. That’s why the gargoyles from the church can follow them so easily as well — him, I mean.
Hucka D.:
It’s a strange [detail in the] picture. We better move on to Lis 05. Maybe that will give us the answers we need. We have TILE arising from the waters of The Crammer, still in central Devizes but in a cemetery behind another church this time northeast of St. John’s. This is St. James. 2 Brian R. Marshall photos are once more employed here and combined into one. The gravestone in the foreground is actually part of the cemetery seen in the background “across” The Crammer.
https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/4858/
bb:
Let me take over now, Hucka D. Thank you. The collage occurs in a crack in space and time, then, where front and back are the same — kind of akin to McCartney in Lis 04, don’t you think?
Hucka D.:
Could be.
bb:
From this crack in space-time arises these 4 creatures, colored the hues of TILE, or red-green-blue-yellow — monsters again like the gargoyles in Lis 03. But more organized because TILE is behind the process. And all this is a type of play on the Moonrakers mythology surrounding The Crammer, Hucka D. Let me give you the link to the Marshall photos I use now…
This is the foreground obviously…
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/382881
And this is the background…
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/382855
Marshall provides a link for the Moonrakers story in his caption for the second:
http://www.wiltshiretouristguide.com/Articles/Article_27.asp
In this same way, I am kind of “raking” the alchemical image of the moon in to the shore of The Crammer. I say raking here because it is a gradual process, starting from the grave stone. 6 stages are involved before the moon touches the land. Hence the title of the collage: “Moon Landing”. And inside the last moon image, when it touches the land, is the yellow monster of TILE. These “monsters” come from a Noel Fielding’s Luxery Comedy animation called The Jelly Fox, which both Edna and I found hilarious. I was also instantly struck by the fact that the involved monsters were colored the 4 colors of TILE.
Hucka D.:
Let me stop you here if I may. (pause) Could this new series of 4 monsters be the same as the gargoyles just left behind in [Lis 03 04]?
bb:
I think they’re a progression beyond them, because this is TILE.
Hucka D.:
You are playing on Devizes mythology here, which is interesting for sure. You succeed in this collage where the original Moonrakers couldn’t. You are *actually* raking the moon, which may be cheese and maybe not, into land.
bb:
Interesting as well that Noel Fielding rather famous plays The Moon itself in The Mighty Boosh. And Fielding plays *all* 4 creatures that are colored TILE in the Jelly Fox, and make a reappearance or are reincarnated [in Lis 05]. All of these creations are Fielding.
