[christophe76460]

J’ai déjà reçu quelques longues lettres où manifestement l’auteur n’avait rien à dire sinon à s’entendre écrire. D’autres fois, un courrier ne contenait que quelques mots mais ils m’ont touché. C’est le cas de la troisième épître de Jean qui est des plus courte mais qui en quelques phrases en dit plus qu’un long discours sur trois hommes : Gaïus à qui Jean rend hommage pour sa conduite et qu’il encourage à persévérer ; Diotrèphe, un responsable d’Église qui agit comme un malotru, et Démétrius dont il va être question maintenant et qui comme Gaïus a une conduite plus qu’honorable.

⦁ Je continue à lire dans la troisième épître de Jean.

Cher ami, imite non le mal, mais le bien. Celui qui fait le bien appartient à Dieu ; celui qui commet le mal ne sait rien de Dieu (3Jean 1:11).

Ce verset sert de transition entre la conduite ignominieuse de Diotrèphe et l’éloge que va faire l’apôtre de Démétrius.

L’expression traduite par « appartient à Dieu », littéralement : est de Dieu, apparaît plusieurs fois dans la première épître de Jean (1Jean 3:9-10; 4:1-4, 6, 7). Elle suggère qu’un croyant qui marche dans la lumière obéit à Dieu (1Jean 2:3-6) et que ses actions tirent leur source de lui.

La phrase celui qui commet le mal ne sait rien de Dieu, littéralement : n’a pas vu Dieu, est analogue à la déclaration de Jean dans sa première épître quand il dit littéralement : celui qui pèche ne l’a pas vu ni connu (1Jean 3:6). En d’autres mots, le comportement de quelqu’un reflète sa relation avec Dieu. Le mal et toute mauvaise action sont toujours le produit d’un aveuglement spirituel de l’homme vis-à-vis de Dieu ainsi que l’expression du péché qui réside dans son cœur.

Cette vérité est amplement illustrée dans cette courte lettre par les attitudes ignobles de Diotrèphe qui se dit et se croit évidemment chrétien, mais qui agit tel un barbare en intimidant les autres responsables de l’Église dont il se veut le seul chef. Cependant, et comme je l’ai déjà dit, Jean n’a aucune intention de passer sous silence les actes de ce dictateur ecclésiastique.

On peut se demander comment les membres de cette Église ont pu accepter que cet homme devienne leur grand manitou. On a coutume de dire que la parole est d’argent et le silence d’or, mais quelques fois le silence est jaunâtre et il est des plus navrant que devant l’intimidation et l’injustice, les gens qui ont une conduite droite ne disent rien. Pourquoi personne n’a osé tenir tête à ce Diotrèphe ne nous est pas dit, mais l’apôtre a bien l’intention de remédier à cet état de fait, car ce n’est pas pour rien que Jésus lui a donné ainsi qu’à son frère Jacques, le nom de fils du tonnerre (Marc 3:17).

Les Écritures disent de Moïse qu’il était un homme très humble, plus que tout autre homme sur la terre (Nombres 12:3). Pourtant, quand les enfants d’Israël se conduisaient mal, il n’hésitait pas à intervenir avec la plus grande fermeté. Dans les Évangiles, Jésus est décrit comme doux et humble de cœur et il se présente lui-même ainsi (Matthieu 11:29), mais ça ne l’a pas empêché de maudire les Pharisiens en long et en travers, et de chasser brutalement les marchands ambulants qui venaient dans le temple pour y faire des affaires. Je lis ce passage :

Le jour où les Juifs célèbrent la fête de la Pâque était proche et Jésus se rendit à Jérusalem. Il trouva, dans la cour du Temple, des marchands de bœufs, de brebis et de pigeons, ainsi que des changeurs d’argent, installés à leurs comptoirs. Alors il prit des cordes, en fit un fouet, et les chassa tous de l’enceinte sacrée avec les brebis et les bœufs ; il jeta par terre l’argent des changeurs et renversa leurs comptoirs, puis il dit aux marchands de pigeons : Ôtez cela d’ici ! C’est la maison de mon Père. N’en faites pas une maison de commerce (Jean 2:13-16).

L’humilité et la douceur ne signifient nullement être une mauviette mais être prêt à se battre pour ce qui est juste selon Dieu et pour défendre les opprimés.

Ici, Jean appelle Gaïus, cher ami, littéralement, bien-aimé, et c’est déjà la quatrième fois qu’il le nomme ainsi dans cette courte lettre. En lui disant : imite non le mal, mais le bien, il l’exhorte à se comporter non comme Diotrèphe mais comme Démétrius dont il va louer la conduite. Ces paroles de Jean à Gaïus sont très proches de celles de l’apôtre Paul quand il écrit :

Ne te laisse jamais dominer par le mal. Au contraire, sois vainqueur du mal par le bien (Romains 12:21).

Quand Jean écrit : celui qui commet le mal ne sait rien de Dieu, on peut être sûr qu’il a Diotrèphe dans le collimateur. Cependant, il est plus modéré dans ses paroles que Jésus qui n’a pas hésité à dire aux Juifs contredisants : votre père, c’est le diable (Jean 8:44). Néanmoins, on peut dire que ce despote ecclésiastique se comportait comme si son père était le diable.

Ça me fait penser aux terroristes religieux qui furent à l’origine de tous les excès qui ont été commis au nom du Christ, et plus proche de nous aux extrémistes qui se réclament de l’islam et qui au nom de leur dieu n’hésitent pas à tuer avec le plus de férocité possible. Il est plus que probable que Diotrèphe ne jouait ni du fouet ni de l’arme blanche pour régner, mais qu’il était passé maître dans l’art machiavélique de l’intimidation et de la médisance.

Malheureusement, il arrive trop souvent que de véritables croyants aient des attitudes aussi répréhensibles que Diotrèphe. La question qui se pose le concernant est donc celle-ci : était-il possible que malgré sa façon d’être et de se conduire exécrable, Diotrèphe ait malgré tout été un enfant de Dieu ? Certains commentateurs pensent que oui et d’autres, absolument pas. Je pencherais plutôt pour dire que non parce qu’il me semble que c’est aussi l’opinion de Jean.

Assez avec Diotrèphe, car voici qu’un fidèle du Seigneur monte sur scène.

Ship Graveyard

Photo provided by: American Geographical Society Library

“As one of the most heavily trafficked inland waterways in the world, Lake Erie has seen more than its share of catastrophe and tragedy. While it is the second smallest of the five Great Lakes, an enormous number of ships have sunk beneath its waters, possibly as many as 2,500 according to the estimates of some archaeologists and historians."

"So far, only 277 of these wrecked vessels have been found and identified. But new discoveries are being added to that list all the time, as underwater explorers launch air- and water-born searches from both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border.

Lake Erie first emerged as an important transportation route in North America in the 18th century. The lake covers an area ranging from western New York to northern Ohio and southern Michigan, which meant it offered rapid inland access to traders and explorers from America’s original 13 colonies and states.

There were likely many boats and ships that sunk in Lake Erie in the 17th and 18th centuries. But most of those vessels were quite small, which would make them difficult for modern underwater divers to find. As a result, exploration and recovery activities have focused on ships that sunk to the bottom of Lake Erie in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Perhaps the most notable shipwreck recovery on Lake Erie is one that occurred just six years ago. That’s when the National Museum of the Great Lakes in Toledo, Ohio, announced that a ship lost on Lake Erie 186 years earlier had finally been found.

In September 1829, a 47-foot-long (14-meter-long) vessel called the Lake Serpent left Cleveland bound for Cunningham’s Island, 55 miles (88 kilometers) away. After filling the ship’s hold with limestone boulders, they set out on a return voyage to Cleveland. But caught in an unexpected tempest, the ship sunk somewhere on the way home, never to be seen or heard from again.

Or at least until 2015. Everything changed when Tom Kowalczk, a remote sensing specialist from the archaeological group Cleveland Underwater Explorers (CLUE), spotted something unusual while scanning an area of the lake bottom near Kelleys Island (the current name for Cunningham’s Island). When CLUE divers investigated they found the remains of a small wooden schooner, which was clearly quite aged.

The divers found two pieces of evidence that identified the ship as the Lake Serpent . First, they discovered an intricate carving of a snake on the vessel’s bow , matching what the historical records said the Lake Serpent featured. Second, they found several limestone boulders still lying in the ship’s hold, of the type that were still being quarried from the Lake Erie islands in the late 1820s (limestone was harvested in block form starting in the 1830s).

As of now, the Lake Serpent is the oldest shipwreck recovered from Lake Erie. It is not, however, the only 19th-century limestone-carrying vessel to be found on the lake bottom near Kelleys Island.

In 2018, the National Museum of the Great Lakes announced that divers had discovered the remains of the Margaret Olwill , a 554-foot (169-meter) ship that had been sunk by a vicious storm in 1899. Its hold had also been filled with limestone quarried from Kelleys Island when Lake Erie’s unpredictable weather brought about its demise.

Another hotspot for underwater archaeologists exploring Lake Erie is the Manitou Passage . This semi-treacherous stretch of water lies close to the shore of Traverse City, Michigan. In the 19th century, it claimed the lives of many men and many ships carrying lumber from one port to another.

Here, the clear water makes it easy to spot several of these shipwrecks from above. That includes the scuttled remains of the James McBride , a 121-foot (37-meter) vessel that was lost during a wicked storm in 1857.

It must be emphasized that this is just a small sampling of the shipwrecks that have been found in Lake Erie. The gigantic Great Lakes , which feature tides, weather, and waves similar to those produced in the planet’s oceans, are synonymous with shipwrecks. But even among its companions, Lake Erie stands out.

“We think Lake Erie has a greater density of shipwrecks than virtually anywhere else in the world—even the Bermuda triangle,” said CLUE co-founder Kevin Magee, an engineer at NASA’s Glenn Research Center, in the NASA publication Earth Observatory.”

Grays Reef Lighthouse - Michigan

Grays Reef Lighthouse – Michigan

Grays Reef is in northern Lake Michigan near the entrance to the Straits Of Mackinac. Grays Reef Passage, a narrow channel in the northeasterly end of the lake that runs between Grays Reef on the west and Vienna Shoal on the east, is the only navigable opening for deep-draft vessels between the Straits of Mackinac and the waters east of Beaver Island and the Manitou Islands. In the 1880s, as…

Point Betsie Light

The Point Betsie Light is located on the northern shore of Lake Michigan at the southern entrance to the Manitou Passage.

The light took four years to build and was officially lit in 1858. It served as one of the first Life Saving Stations on the Great Lakes and was run by the U.S. Life Saving Service until 1939 when it was taken over by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The light was automated in 1983 and was the last lighthouse in Michigan to lose the necessity of a lighthouse keeper, having been manned consistently for 106 years.

Point Betsie was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, and is considered to be one of the most photographed lighthouses in the United States.

Another beautiful and unique looking lighthouse. I'm not sure if I got the barn style roof absolutely perfect but I'm satisficed with it. This is also the last lighthouse I built before the 1.17 update so expect to see some new blocks added to these in the near future.

A passage I saw as beautiful was the last paragraph. I think this is an interesting passage because it is talking about nature. This passage includes the phrase “wild flowers” which make me picture beautiful flowers and mountains and all of the other things he is describing. A synonym of wild flowers could be beautiful flowers. Using the word beautiful instead of wild doesn’t change the meaning it just gives it the same description in a different way. The original word distincts the meaning because it is the name of the type of flowers he was describing.

[The favorite abode of this Manitou is still shown. It is a great rock or cliff on the loneliest part of the mountains, and, from the flowering vines which clamber about it, and the wild flowers which abound in its neighborhood, is known by the name of the Garden Rock.]

[Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was incessantly going, and everything he said or did was sure to produce a [torrent] of household eloquence.] 

flood (environmental) (noun)

a sudden flood in a river, especially one caused by heavy rains or melting snow

torrent (noun) 

a sudden, violent, and copious outpouring of (something, typically words or feelings)

The word torrent here can describe both an outpouring of emotions and it’s synonymous relative “flood” by means of heavy rains becoming forceful. The relation to the passage is the Van Winkle’s marriage. In persuasion  of his wife “dinning in his ears” about his responsibility to his family and the incessant nagging, causes Van Winkle to take himself, his gun, and his dog wolf to find peace and quiet in nature and find himself a new merriment amongst the dutch settlers. However, the word flood can change the meaning and remind us of the Hudson River and the Dutch liquor that alludes him to enjoy in pleasure. He plays the game ninepins and finds companionship and sanctuary. 

Once upon a time, however, a [hunter] who lost his way, penetrated to the Garden Rock, where he beheld a number of gourds placed in the crotches of trees. 

Once upon a time, however, a [nimrod] who lost his way, penetrated to the Garden Rock, where he beheld a number of gourds placed in the crotches of trees. 

hunter: a skilful hunter of game (wildlife) 

nimrod (synonym) ->  an inept person / a skilful hunter

Once upon a time, however, a [nimrod] who lost his way...”

This again brought forth the notion of the mischievous ventures we can encounter during a passage through nature. Irving creates a nonfictions world of spirits who create forces against your will such as the Dutch ghosts that happen upon Van Winkle. In this case, a flood occurs due to the Indian myth. “In old times, say the Indian traditions, there was a kind of Manitou or Spirit, who kept about the wildest recesses of the Catskill Mountains, and took a mischievous pleasure in wreaking all kinds of evils and vexations upon the red men.” The beauty and its incapsulating forces always surrounding us. 

The word “nimrod” comes from the 16th century and it’s biblical interpretation “ Nimrod, also spelled Nemrod, was a legendary biblical figure, described as “the first on earth to be a mighty man. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord.” however it become an informal word in North America to mean and unskilled person, perhaps according to my interruption the outdated skill of a hunter as agriculture became a domestic way of resource and nutrition.  Oxford Dictionary. So, according to the Professor G, he is right in establishing a connect between a word and its synonymous counterpart changing the meaning of a sentence. 

[yahuahourelohim]

The Restored Name King James Version

Torah of Yahuah ( The Eternal Covenant)

And Elohim said I AM YAHUAH YOUR ELOHIM

The name of the Almighty written in Hebrew. It seems to be an accepted fact that the correct pronunciation of His name is “Yahweh”. This is apparently so because “most scholars” say that this pronunciation is correct. But what are the facts?

HEBREW TRANSLATION. Some have tried to translate the Bible in what they call a literal translation, but the Hebrew language cannot be literally translated into a classical language. Hebrew is an idiomatic language, and one Hebrew word may have from three to ten different meanings depending on the context. Sometimes it has opposing meanings. In the Bible whole thoughts, not words, must therefore be translated.

THE SET APART NAMES. Another common error among most of the translators is their elimination of heaven's revealed Name of the Most High, (YHWH), and the Name of His Son,  (Yahushua) the Messiah, and substituting the names of the local deities of the nations among whom they dwelt (Psalms 96:5), expressly transgressing the commandments of (YHWH) as given in Exodus 20:7 and 23:13.

For (YHWH) they have substituted Baal, the Babylonian deity, and Adonay, the Canaanite deity of the Phoenicians, both corresponding to the English word Lord.

The characteristic appellation of the Most High, Elohim, has been substituted by the Assyrian deity Gawd, or God in English, and is repudiated by in Isaiah 65:11 which reads as follows, "But ye are they that forsake , that forget My holy mountain, and furnish a table for God, and furnish a drink offering to Meni". No wonder the people of Scotland and some parts of northern England celebrate their Hogmanay, which in Hebrew means the feast of the god Meni, on New Year's Eve with a fellowship drink for good luck!

Isaiah truly expresses what (YHWH) thinks of Christian worship...

Isaiah 65:11 - But ye are they that forsake , that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.

The substitution of the Names of (YHWH) and (Yahushua) by the names of the pagan deities of the nations has brought immeasurable harm. Such names as Lord, God, Jesus, and Christ in no way represent the meaning of the Name revealed by the Most High to Moses and the ancient Hebrew leaders. By employing these names the people unknowingly turn the worship of into that of idols and actually ascribe the benevolent characteristics of the Mighty One of Israel to the pagan deities (Hosea 2:8).

The set apart name of the Creator, or its short form, (Yah), is the one and only Name by which He is known in the entire Scriptures.

"That men may know that Thou, whose Name alone is , art the Most High over all the earth". Psalm 83:18

While has many titles such as Eloah, El-Elyon, and Elohim, and while He is characterized as nissi, rapha, ra-ah, tsidkenu, shalom, sabaoth, and yireh, the Name in each case is , coupled with a distinctive characteristic. The Scriptures are specific and leave no doubt about the importance of His Name and our responsibilities concerning it.

"I am , that is My Name, and My glory will I not give to another (name) neither My praise to graven images." Isaiah 42:8

"Oh , Thy Name abideth for ages; Oh , Thy memorial is to generation after generation." Psalm 135:13

"If be Elohim, follow Him; And if Baal (the Lord) then follow Him." 1Kings 18:21 (Hebrew: Baal = Lord)

"How long shall it be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? Yea they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart, which think to cause My people to forget My Name - as their fathers have forgotten My Name for Baal." Jeremiah 23:26-27

"I will take the names of the Baalim (Lords) out of her mouth and they shall no more be remembered by their name." Hosea 2:17 (Baalim is the plural for Baal = Lords)

"I will declare Thy Name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I sing praise unto Thee." Hebrews 2:12 and Psalm 23:22

"And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the Name of shall be saved." Acts 2:21 and Joel 2:32

"And they that know Thy Name will put their trust in Thee." Psalm 9:10

"Thus saith , the maker thereof, that formed it, is the Name; Call unto Me and I will answer thee and show thee great and hidden things which thou knowest not." Jeremiah 33:3

"I have manifested Thy Name unto the men which Thou gavest Me out of the world." John 17:6

"And I have declared unto them Thy Name and will declare it." John 17:26

"Hallowed be Thy Name." Matthew 6:9

The set apart name of the Messiah, (Yahushua), is the Name by which He was known to His disciples, though He has several titles such as Rabbi, Son of Man, Saviour, Anointed, and King of Kings.

"What is His name and what is His Son's Name, if thou canst tell?" Proverbs 30:4

The name of the Messiah, (Yahushua), literally means " is salvation".

"I am come in My Father's Name and ye receive Me not..." John 5:43

"Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the Name of ." John 12:13

"And whatsoever ye shall ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye ask anything in My Name I will do it." John 14:13-14

"...for there is none other Name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12

"And I looked and Lo, a Lamb stood on Mount Zion, and with Him an hundred and forty and four thousand having His Name and His Father's Name written on their foreheads." Revelation 14:1 revised version

The combined result of the four reasons mentioned in the foregoing has brought into the New Testament many pagan elements of varying degrees, so that the original prophetic and apostolic teachings on the Holy Scriptures have reverted to the apostate Baalism of Jezebel (Revelation 2:20). No wonder then the Scriptures call this system Babylon.

Misleading ideas and beliefs were implanted during the process of carrying the Hebrew ideas and ideals into the context of a pagan Greek and Roman world. The Hellenizing of the original books of the Bible brought about distortions which still plague earnest Scripture students. An illustration of this occurs in the use of the Greek word hades (with all its mythological connotations as a place of endless torture to which the Greek gods relegated those who displeased them), as a purported equivalent of the Hebrew sheol and gehenna, neither of which conveyed any such notion. The doctrine that the Messiah "descended into hell" was thus an outgrowth of adopting the Greek context of hades in place of the Hebrew connotation of sheol (the tomb).

Many of the errors of literal translation which crept into the New Testament after the first century have been kept alive and intact because of the belief by numerous excellent scholars that the New Testament originals were written in, nay inspired in, the Greek language. Such a state of mind made it seem sacrilegious to question the authenticity of the Greek text even though portions of it seemed unintelligible. In recent years, however, much light has been shed on this hitherto taboo subject. The eminent Dr. Charles Cutler Torrey, Professor of Semitic Languages at Yale University, states in Our Translated Gospels,

"At the annual meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature and Exegesis in New York City in December 1934, I challenged my New Testament colleagues to designate even one passage, from any of the Four Gospels, giving clear evidence of a date later than 50 A.D., or of origin outside Palestine. The challenge was not met, nor will it be, for there is no such passage."

Dr. Torrey then proceeds to cite hundreds of instances of Greek mistranslation from the Aramaic, which the Christian community has rather indiscriminately accepted as gospel.

The process of substitution continued in various lands and languages, so that much of the original meaning of the New Testament has been obscured. Consider the distortion involved in changing the names of the prophets, the Messiah, and the Creator. Hosea became "Osee"; Elisha became "Eliseus"; Isaiah became "Esaias"; Miriam became "Mary";became "Jesus" and became "Lord", "God", "Gott", "dios", "Manitou" or whatever happened to be the name of the local idol.

Now you may inquire why these distortions are so vitally important to us. They are of utmost importance because they introduce seeming contradictions which in turn raise conscious or subconscious doubts in the minds of sincere individuals: The pagan elements today found in Christianity have made it appear falsely similar to other religions and have thus cast stumbling blocks before those who recognize this heathenism for what it is. By correcting the known distortions and purging the pseudo-Christian beliefs which have resulted, doctrinal integrity and consistency can be restored, thus making possible the wholeheartedness which the first-century brethren demonstrated but which is so sadly lacking among so-called Christians today.

Lack of wholeheartedness in belief and conduct is taken for granted by our society. Ours is an era of "lip service," notorious for the hiatus between avowed ideals and sordid performance. Its symptoms are found in all walks of life, from interpersonal relationships to international diplomacy. Socially-minded writers, including members of the clergy, frequently deplore this condition but seem unable to recognize that it is a symptom of the underlying conceptual malaise: the theological neurosis of modern Christianity so pointedly described in Revelation...

"I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou were cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of My mouth, because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and blind, and naked." Revelation 3:15-17

This ailment is lamented by our contemporaries as "secularism," "illness of the spirit," and "death of the heart"; but whatever it is labeled, the condition is caused by failure to integrate that which professed believers do with that which they profess to believe. It amounts to an unconscious outward manifestation of a mass of unresolved internal conflicts and a kind of unconscious rebellion against further self-deception and confusion of values.

Since church hierarchies so unanimously complain about the symptoms of the disease, why have they not long ago taken the steps essential to removing its cause? Why do they in fact display such astonishing ingenuity in avoiding recognition of their own share in the ideological confusion? Perhaps the answer may be found in the well-known phenomenon of neurosis wherein its professor blinds himself to its very existence and resists any efforts to effect a cure. This explanation appears to be borne out by the verses quoted above, and by verse 18 which counsels the application of "eye salve." Is this not strikingly reminiscent of the condition described in Isaiah 6:9-10:

"...lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and change and be healed"?

What, then, may twentieth century believers do to become more open-eyed and wholehearted in their belief - genuine doers of the Word? How can they attain deep and enduring faith comparable to that of the first century brethren? One prerequisite is a degree of doctrinal coherence comparable to that of the first century; another is recognition of unsubstantiated scientific dogma as such.

The popular a priori theories concerning the origin and antiquity of man and of the universe are examples of such generally-accepted assumptions about which there remain extremely large gaps in scientific knowledge. Our immediate objective concerns the first of these essentials: the elimination of doctrinal incoherence supported by the common versions.

The Holy Name Bible is a comprehensive effort to bring to twentieth century believers that integrity of concept which was present in the Hebrew and Aramaic originals - to make possible in the twentieth century the wholehearted integration of doctrine, belief, and conduct characteristic of the congregation of from its inception in the wilderness (1 Corinthians 10:1-4) through the apostolic phase of the first century. The congregation of the Old Testament cannot be separated from that of the New, except that the former looked forward by faith to the offering of . The victorious congregation is the one which adheres to all of the eternal truths of ; it sings the song of Moses and the Lamb (Revelation 15:3).

Shortly before being forced out of their homeland in the 1830s, Cherokee people of the southeastern United States left written accounts on cave walls of secretive rituals. Now researchers have translated some of those messages from long ago.

Cherokee inscriptions in Alabama’s Manitou Cave, now a popular tourist destination, describe religious ceremonies and beliefs using written symbols for 85 syllables — enough sounds to replicate the Cherokee spoken language. Cherokee scholar Sequoyah devised this writing system not long before his tribe’s banishment down the Trail of Tears, a series of forced relocations of Native Americans to the west.

An historian and a cave photographer first recognized the inscriptions, some of which are written in charcoal, in 2006. A team led by archaeologist Beau Duke Carroll of the Tribal Historic Preservation Office of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in Cherokee, N.C., describes what the writing says in the April Antiquity.

One inscription on a wall deep inside the cave, shown above, translates as, “leaders of the stickball team on the 30th day in their month April 1828.” Carroll and his colleagues suspect that the word “their” refers to European Americans.

Cherokee stickball was, and still is, a version of lacrosse played between pairs of communities to achieve spiritual renewal. The inscription commemorates a team’s private ritual preparations before a game, the scientists say. A nearby inscription probably refers to the same team’s pregame rituals. That passage identifies the team’s spiritual leader as Richard Guess, the English name of one of Sequoyah’s children.

Other inscriptions on a ceiling near the cave’s entrance may be religious messages to Cherokee ancestors or other supernatural beings. The script is written backward, likely because it was intended to be read by residents of what the Cherokee considered to be a spirit world reachable only via Manitou Cave, the researchers say.

Démarche

Guillaume MARTIN-TATON est né en 1991. Il  est diplômé des Beaux-Arts de Montpellier. Lors d’un échange à la National Art School de Sydney, il commence a développer un univers inspiré des marquages aux sols et de la signalétique.  Toujours à Sydney, il est invité à réaliser une peinture in situ au plafond de la galerie Factory49 sur lequel il réalise l’oeuvre Upside down : peinture d’un passage piéton. Il participe à une exposition collective dans ce même lieu, réalise la performance Restruction à l’UNSW College of Fine Art, et présente sa première exposition solo Signal. Il y a deux ans, avec l’artiste Lola Metz, ils créent l’atelier d’artiste LUSINE34 situé dans la zone industrielle du Salaison près de Montpellier. L’Homme moderne s’est inspiré de la nature pour établir la signalisation (Aposématisme: Ensemble des mécanismes grâce auxquels un animal envoie un signal à d’éventuels prédateurs afin de les prévenir de sa toxicité). Nos mouvements dans l’espace urbain sont conditionnés par ce code. Martin-Taton se sert de cette caractéristique comme support. Mettre en place un inventaire de formes sur lesquelles il pourra s’appuyer dans son travail plastique. Les bandes rayées noires et jaunes, rouges et blanches, les couleurs fluorescentes et les matériaux rétro-réflechissants font partie du dictionnaire de couleurs et de matériaux qu’il s’impose pour produire les artefacts liés à cette tribu. Son processus créatif se développe autour d’une mythologie personnelle dans laquelle Manitou Marginal Lutte, son alter ego, s’est emparé de ce code pour l’hybrider avec son propre alphabet. Génèse d’une micro-tribu, tel un glitch spiritualisé de celle dans laquelle nous vivons. Ses productions sont plurielles: peintures, sculptures, céramiques, installations, performances. Manitou est un terme Algonquin (amérique du Nord) qui définit à la fois une énergie qui circule entre les êtres, les objets, les animaux, la nature etc… mais également une déité amérindienne qui aurait vécu au 5ème siècle sur l’ile Mackinac située au centre du lac Huron, à la frontière du Canada et des Etats-Unis. La spiritualité, les revendications et les légendes que ces peuples portent alimentent et influencent son travail. Aujourd’hui, Martin-Taton continue à questionner les liens entre la nature et la signalétique. Son alter ego Manitou interagit dans notre société codifiée tel un chaman contemporain. Il conquière de nouveaux espaces,  développant des dialogues entre notre héritage culturel et naturel pour construire son propre univers.
