Margaret of Antioch, Introduction
by: Sherry L. Reames (Editor)
from: Middle English Legends of Women Saints 2003
St. Margaret of Antioch was one of the most popular saints among the laity in medieval England, primarily because of her association with childbirth. Many churches housed side altars or images of this saint and had guilds dedicated to her. St. Margaret is also one of the most common subjects for wall paintings in England; some churches have her entire life - as many as twenty scenes - adorning their walls. When hearing the story of Margaret retold on her feast day (July 20), many people could have followed along by looking at the images painted on the walls of their own church. Because of the promises made just before Margaret's death to assist anyone - especially women in childbirth - who has her life written down, reads it, or has it read to them, extant copies of her legend are quite common, some of them written on long strips of parchment which were fastened around the abdomens of women in labor.
The cult of St. Margaret first developed in the eastern Church (the first extant Lives in Greek date from the ninth century), where she was known as Marina and usually portrayed as seizing a demon, about to strike him with a hammer. Her victory over the demon caused Marina to be regarded as a protector against demonic powers generally. Once her cult became established in the West, her intercessory power became more specific and included protection for newborns against demonic possession and other birth defects. Eventually she came to be identified as a protector of both mother and child during and immediately after birth, although (as will be seen in the two later Middle English texts) the petitions for undeformed children are sometimes omitted and the prayer focuses primarily on the mother's welfare.
As early as the tenth century there was concern about the authenticity of the most spectacular elements in the Margaret legend, her victories over the dragon and the demon. When reading different versions, these are important sites to compare. Some writers were uncomfortable with the idea that Margaret had actually been swallowed by the dragon; for instance, Jacobus de Voragine, the author of the Legenda aurea, called the scene "apocryphal and not to be taken seriously" (trans. Ryan, 1.369), and other writers found alternative ways of presenting the episode. In this selection, the stanzaic Life attributes Margaret's escape not to her own gesture of making the sign of the cross, but to the actual cross on which Christ was crucified. Mirk says that the dragon took Margaret into his mouth, but not that he swallowed her. Lydgate's dragon gets only as far as Margaret's head before he splits open. Despite clerical discomfort with the dragon scene, it could not be dropped completely from vernacular lives of Margaret because it served as the source for the familiar iconography of this saint, who is traditionally shown either as emerging from the dragon or standing atop it in triumph. Mirk specifically calls his audience's attention to this moment as the image of Margaret that they know.
Another notable feature of the Lives of St. Margaret is the way they seem to reflect the needs of particular audiences by means of the particular petitions in Margaret's final prayer. Petitions for the preservation of chastity, safe childbirth and healthy offspring, protection from other kinds of danger, and forgiveness of sins suggest the wide range of believers who might turn to this saint in times of trouble. The claims for Margaret's power as an intercessor also became a matter of concern for some reform-minded clergy; and later versions of her legend sometimes water down the contents of her final prayer - as may be seen by comparing the bold promises in the stanzaic account below with the more general assurances of comfort and grace in the retellings by Mirk and especially Lydgate.
Although the present edition is based on a fifteenth-century copy (Cambridge University Library MS Addit. 4122), the anonymous stanzaic Life dates to the second half of the thirteenth century, making it approximately contemporary with the South English Legendary. The rhymes would have made this version of the saint's life easy to memorize, as well as entertaining for those who heard it read or recited aloud. The text's strong emphasis on childbirth highlights the importance of St. Margaret for laywomen, and it is easy to imagine this version being utilized as a means of comfort during labor. The text is lively but decorous; in comparison with some earlier manuscripts of the stanzaic Life, in fact, this fifteenth-century copy seems remarkably polite and restrained. The narrative contains some details rarely found in other versions, such as the story of Margaret's parents and especially her mother, who is barely mentioned in most accounts.
Mirk's version is presented as a sermon that a priest could adapt or simply read aloud from the pulpit on the appropriate Sunday in July. Although it is obviously designed with lay hearers in mind, it seems intent on reminding them that the cult of St. Margaret should be connected with the sacraments of the church, not turned into a matter of private observances at home. Thus the sermon begins rather tellingly with the priest admonishing his parishioners to attend mass on the saint's feast day if they want the full benefits of commemorating her. Mirk's retelling of the legend itself places unusual emphasis on baptism. In fact, he makes a point of explaining how both Margaret herself and her thousands of converts manage to satisfy this requirement for entering the kingdom of heaven, and he has the devil confess to Margaret that his favorite evil deed is to make Christians forget their baptismal vows; in most versions of the legend, the devil's main target is chastity.
John Lydgate, born around 1370, was a Benedictine monk at St. Edmund's monastery in Bury. He was a prolific author and had an enormous reputation during his lifetime, receiving commissions for poems from many notable patrons, including the future king Henry V. Anne Mortimer, Countess of March, commissioned his Life of St. Margaret sometime between 1415 (the year of her marriage to Edmund Mortimer) and 1426 - that is, during the period of her life when she was likeliest to be concerned with childbearing and with Margaret's special focus as an intercessor. Lydgate wrote eight saints' lives altogether, as well as an additional miracle of the Virgin Mary. His style may be contrasted with that of the two earlier texts, and reflects the tastes and concerns of his aristocratic audience.

Just In: Michael Jackson was to direct movie about foster children
According to OMG!, three months before his death, Michael Jackson committed to co-directing and financing a movie — a poignant drama about foster children — and planned to get started as soon as he completed his London concerts.
The news is the latest in a series of revelations that are helping to shed light on the pop star's passions and projects, even as the investigation into his abuse of prescription drugs and a tussle over custody of his children rage on.
The movie project also is eerily keyed to one of the most haunting aspects of Jackson's life: his apparent feeling that the Jackson 5's huge success robbed him of his childhood.
"He was very excited about making movies and wanted his hands on everything, from working on screenplays to producing, to writing the music. However, he never showed any interest in acting," B-movie producer, writer and director Bryan Michael Stoller said of Jackson, who starred in the 1978 pic "The Wiz."
Stoller said he had a 23-year friendship with the pop star and was his partner in the film company Magic Shadows. He was to have co-directed the movie, called "They Cage the Animals at Night," which Stoller said they had been developing for seven years.
INSPIRED BY BOOK
The project was based on a 1985 book about the real-life experiences of author Jennings Michael Burch, who bounced around foster homes as a child. Jackson showed the book to Stoller in 2002 at his Neverland estate and asked if he wanted to produce and co-direct a movie version.
"Michael told me often he felt like he grew up as an orphan, like a foster kid, because he never was in one home," Stoller said. "To him every hotel was like a different foster home. He said he used to sit in the window and see kids playing outside and cry because he couldn't be part of that."
Stoller optioned the book for $1 — initially without telling Burch about Jackson's involvement. When he did tell him, Stoller said the author was excited to work with the singer.
Jackson, meanwhile, was concerned that Burch, then 67 and suffering from cancer, might not survive to see the movie made. So Stoller suggested bringing Burch to Neverland in 2003, where Jackson turned the tables and interviewed him for what was to be a TV special and for the eventual DVD.
During their highly charged conversation, Jackson asked the author if he had ever considered suicide. Burch said he had, and Jackson said he too had considered it during his darkest days. (A clip from this footage is available at THR.com.)
Stoller recorded their meeting, an addition to a collection of videos he made with Jackson over the years, and to hours of audio recordings from their meetings.
Stoller told The Hollywood Reporter he has now come forward because he believes this material humanizes his friend at a time when much myth-making about Jackson is taking place. The producer also is marketing his video, audio and photos either for outright sale or as a project he would produce and direct.
He said he already has had interest from NBC, CBS and E!
But insiders in the Jackson camp said there was no formal deal in place for any Jackson involvement in "Cage"; discussions between the artist and Stoller occurred when Jackson was without management, which may have frowned on any distractions as he prepared for the London shows.
'CAST AWAY' CAST OFF
Jackson's last film foray was a 2005 comedic farce, "Miss Cast Away and the Island Girls," produced, written and directed by Stoller and starring Eric Roberts. Jackson is briefly in the movie as Agent M.J., who comes to the rescue of various characters on a beam of light. The movie was a direct-to-DVD release sold briefly at Blockbuster stores.
When Jackson was indicted on child molestation charges shortly after its release, Blockbuster pulled the film from its shelves. "Miss Cast Away" has been sold overseas by Showcase Entertainment, and Stoller said he has offers for a new domestic video release for Jackson's last movie appearance.
"They Cage the Animals" also was affected by the molestation charges, Stoller said. In 2003 the producer arranged a three-hour meeting in a Universal City hotel between Jackson and Mel Gibson, who besides being an actor is a producer and partner in Icon Prods. "They got along great," Stoller said. "It was kind of funny. Mel was a little nervous. He was hugging a pillow the whole time, kind of playing with it. Michael was kind of shy."
Icon signed a deal to develop the project with a budget of $12 million-$20 million, according to Stoller, who was paid by Icon to write the screenplay. A couple of months later, when Jackson was indicted in Santa Barbara, Calif., Icon dropped the project, and Gibson stopped returning Stoller's phone calls. There were news reports in 2005 that Icon had dropped the project. A spokesman for Icon said the company briefly was involved in developing it in 1995 but had lost interest by 1997. Stoller has a copy of his contract with Icon dated 2002.
Stoller said Icon still owns the screenplay, but an Icon representative rebutted that, saying the company has had no involvement or ownership for 10 years. Gibson declined comment for this report.
Jackson lost contact with Stoller for about two years during the period when the singer was on trial. But after his acquittal, Jackson reached out to him. They had watched dozens of movies in the Neverland theater; Stoller said Jackson's favorite was "To Kill a Mockingbird," and that they also discussed doing a remake of the comedy musical "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."
"When Jackson called in 2007, he still had movies on his mind," Stoller said. "He had begun to purchase movie production equipment. He was always asking how things work, but I never saw him really work things. But he wanted all the toys. He bought a dolly and wanted me to show the kids how to use it because they were using it as a play toy, riding around on it."
Jackson wasn't interested in making a blockbuster. "He wanted to do movies the Academy would like," Stoller recalled.
Three months before Jackson's death, he and Stoller had "a pretty serious meeting" about reviving "They Cage the Animals" as an indie feature, the producer said.
"Michael was going to put up $8 million and not have to deal with any studios or producers and then take it to the studios afterward," Stoller said. "He was very passionate about being a director. He was determined to make this movie."

I've been neglecting the Music Monday postings recently, so here's a collection of songs about… accountancy? Well, the Australian songwriter Meri Amber, whose wonderful and witty songs I've posted before, is not only a really great musician, but also an economics student. She wanted to do something against the boring reputation of accountancy, so she wrote a whole mini-album called Love$Accy with seven short, but brilliant songs, which got a lot of recognition in the Australian business press and even with the accounting giant KMPG, which is the subject of one of the songs. She has made six of them into amazingly creative videos, which you can view in the embedded playlist – and the seventh may be coming soon! is now online, too! Today she also posted all the songs with their lyrics on her blog, and you can also get the whole album on Bandcamp.
Meri is also very busy at the moment preparing for the launch of her first CD named Wandering, which is going to be released this Friday in a concert event. She calls the 10-track album a Mini-P instead of an EP, because there are "only" five new songs, with the other half comprised of remastered versions of her previous songs. The event will be also streamed live via a Google+ Hangout for everybody not able to attend or on the wrong side of the earth. There are just 100 copies of the physical CD, but the album will also be available to download from all the major distributors including Amazon on Friday!The party is kicking of at 8pm Sydney time – this is unfortunately in the middle of the night or early morning for the USA, but 12 noon for Germany and 11am for England, so we Europeans are actually lucky. But Meri has also said that there will be the usual recording of the hangout available afterwards!

150 years since the end of the Witch Hunt War between humans and the "witches" that terrorized humans with powerful magic. At the Anti-Magic Academy, an institution that trains "heretic inquisitors" that keep tabs over the remaining threat of magic, young aspirants are training yet again. Takeru Kusanagi, whose swordsmanship skills see no rivals, is one of those students that attend the Anti-Magic Academy. However, the pinnacle of military power has shifted from swords to magic, and then to guns, making the "sword" that he wields a thing of the past. Takeru, who depressingly lacks talent for using guns, leads the 35th Test Platoon, a.k.a. the Insignificant Platoon, a collection of inferior students including him. One day, Ouka Ohtori, a previous heretic inquisitor with twilight-colored hair joins the ranks of such a platoon. Sparked by the meeting with her and her abnormal hatred of witches, the gears of destiny start to turn greatly for the 35th Platoon... "For the objective, can you do away with something important to you?" The "azure" presses a question into them. Witches, necromancers, alchemists, magical heirlooms... the "weakest" platoon face against all sorts of threats that involve the world. What will be the paths for the problematic children who each carry a "secret" on their backs...!?
The captain of the Anti-Magic Academy 35th Test Platoon - a.k.a. "Insignificant Platoon". Wielder of a "sword" which is now a weapon of the past generation, and his swordsmanship is such that nobody can best him, but his shooting and academic ability is absolute zero to the point where swordsmanship is the only thing he is good at. Good-natured and cares about his comrades, but he shows a different side that gets terribly upset when someone makes fun of "swords".
A girl who was the youngest heretic inquisitor and worked hard, but due to a certain breach of orders her license was taken away from her. She has since returned to Anti-Magic Academy which is a training institution, and she is placed in the 35th Platoon led by Takeru. Her strong sense of justice prevents her from being lenient, and she hates it when things are bent out of whack. She also has a passionate hatred for evil witches.
A member of the 35th Platoon, and serves as the sniper. Her skills at sniping are beyond average, but gets tremendously nervous and often makes unbelievable mistakes when it counts. Very serious and hard-working for anything, so has more dissatisfaction than anyone else that her platoon is ridiculed as the "Insignificant Platoon". She also has a complex against her own name, and turns beet red and gets angry if you call her by her first name.
The mood-maker of the 35th Platoon, and has superhuman intelligence beyond that of a typical genius. Within the platoon, she is in charge of gear maintenance and shows ingenious skills, but she herself only shows interest in development and customization of weapons. She hacks to gather information, conducts illegal customization of platoon members' guns, performs sexual harassment... many troublesome acts have been seen as her doings.
A girl with azure eyes, hair, wearing an azure nun's habit. The true identity is Mistilteinn, one of the Relic Eaters - weapons handed down from ancient times. She is a special magical heirloom known as the Twilight Type, and is the only sword among the Relic Eaters. She can change forms into any and every form of blade. She shows up on Takeru's deathbed, and chooses him as her host. She is usually quiet and unemotional, but actually is full of pride, and shows a jealous side if Takeru tries to use another weapon.
A magician using "despair", an ancient element of magic, and is designated as a S-class dangerous individual. A necromancer and an alchemist, a summoner and an ex-pastor, but his true beginnings are completely unknown. Absolutely loves "despair", and finds ecstasy in dropping someone into despair in the most supreme of situations, and uses that as his reason for living. A high-ranking member of Valhalla, a syndicate aiming for witches to regain ground, but acts more for his own twisted aestheticism more so than fulfilling the objectives of the syndicate.
She may look like a very young girl, but is actually 17 years old. The student council president of Anti-Magic Academy. Always with a bright smile, relaxing in a kotatsu, making her seem like a cat. However, she never panics even in the direst of emergencies, and makes decisions in a calm, collected manner, making her a trustworthy commander.
Takeru's one and only blood relative, and his dearest little sister. She is a very shy person, and her bashful speech mannerisms are almost like that of a very young girl.
The chairman of the Anti-Magic Academy, and the director of the heretic inquisitors. Always aloof and unable to grasp his thoughts. He is the only guardian for Ouka who has no family, and it was his idea to place her in the 35th Test Platoon upon her return to the academy. He also made sure Takeru and Lapis came across one another, so he seems to be acting along a certain set of ideas...? Only he knows the true meaning of his actions hidden behind his beautiful smile.
