Description
This one is the more "consistent" of the traditional mystic relics. At this time there are four objects designed as "The Holy Lance" (also known as the "Spear of Destiny", "Lance of Longinus" and other names). As model I've used the one exposed in Hofburg, Wien (Austria). Other two lances are more controversial and about the fourth (preserved in Vatican City) we have no more than a couple of rough sketches by a french voyager from the XIX century.
The "Lance of Power" has been desired by so many kings and statesmen though centuries up to the the II World War and, probably, again in the contemporary age.
It is a strange thing: this should be a modern and materialistic age but still so many peoples look for possession of this (and more) relic. No modern and illuministic conceptions and knowledges affects the mind of some peoples, especially if statesmen?!?
Too much materialism is not good, but likewise wrong thing when mythos and mysticism prevail reality too. All we have to think about.
My personal journey through mythos, however, will be continued in future. There are so many other legends and relics to investigate in the history of human king all around the world...

Bade im Ozean der Weisheit und nimm deine Schuhe als Kopfkissen.
Superb image! There could be many great movies made about the spear of destiny.
Extraordinary Image.
BRAVO POUR L'EXCELLENT TRAVAIL CHRISTIAN G
Thanks for the information on the Spear of Destiny..great work!
The lance is the visual center of this gorgeous image. You are very talented. Dana
excellent art
Powers are always looking for the master power whether from a mystical thrust or from a medical metabolite. Chaos distorts the direct extortions even when they are quite compulsive. I ass ume thkis is the one and only lance thrust into Christ' side on the cross that is sometimes made diminuitive as the thorn in the side of Paul. Except the age of the dig proves the object is from 500BC???!!
Awesome!!!
