Eirene was a minor goddess in ancient Greek mythology, associated with ideals of peace and prosperity. Though not a major figure, she continues to hold allegorical significance in modern times through her enduring symbolic representations. This article explores the mythology and meaning behind Eirene, the Greek goddess of peace and wealth.
On this day, November 25, I John Presco, install Goddess Worship in America. Rena Easton and I camped two days on Mount Tamalpais. Rena is my muse, and the muse of Christine Rosamond, When I become President of the United States I will make the teaching of the World Goddess’s mandatory. My ancestor, John Wilson, tried to create a language and dictionary for the Native Americans.
I name America’s goddess, Irene, or Eirene, is Rena’s middle name. You have my permission, and Eirene’s permission, to worship her and her child this Thanksgiving. Be a California Child of Peace – today!

Eirene or Irene (/aɪˈriːniː/; ‹See Tfd›Greek: Εἰρήνη, Ëirene, [eːrɛ́ːnɛː], lit. “Peace”),[1] more commonly known in English as Peace, is one of the Horae, the personification and goddess of peace in Greek mythology and ancient religion. She was depicted in art as a beautiful young woman carrying a cornucopia, sceptre, and a torch or rhyton. She is usually said to be the daughter of Zeus and Themis and thus sister of Dike and Eunomia. Her Roman equivalent is the goddess Pax.

Made In The Image of God
Posted on September 6, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
Rena and I were made in the image of God. When Christine Rosamond Presco saw a photo of the painting I did of Rena Christensen standing on a hill watching the sunset, she took up art. She couldn’t stand it, that I got so much, and she got – nothing! Out of vengeance – she had to have it all! In her autobiography that the New Narcists disappeared, my jealous sister began Her Story, this way
“Everyone thought my brother would be a famous artist someday, but, it wasn’t meant to be!”
Rosamond hated to go to shows because men and women always asked…
“Are you a Lesbian? Are you in love with women?”
I was in love with women – including the most beautiful woman in the world – whose back sent me to heaven. I just made this sunset on Fotor, that is close to the painting I did that I showed Christine in person, and that my brother – disappeared! They both wanted me to be…The Hidden One!
After spending the day on Monte Rio beach, we would shop for food, then drive into the Armstrong Woods. Putting the Dodge in second, and finding music to go with on the radio, we began our ascent to the top of our mountain. I felt I was stealing Beauty away from the World. I accused Rena of wanting to be in a crowd of people, but, she just wanted to be……with me!

The Healing Ride
Posted on October 5, 2019 by Royal Rosamond Press
Alas I found the road that Rena and I traversed almost every day for fifty days. It was a miracle my 1950 Dodge held up. Mind you Rena grew up in Grand Island Nebraska where it is completely flat. There were some hairy turns and deep drop-offs that my love looked down with some unease. This was her High School graduation excursion her harrowing climb in the Swiss Alps. Coming down, my breaks would get hot and we stopped at the usual pullover. We wee healing for a swim in the Russian River, or a day at Victoria Beach.
In the bottom video, the water in the pond was much higher. Rena would swim here at dusk, in the buff. I made all the meals, and the camp coffee. I gave lessons about the Indian Religion around the campfire. Then we watched the sunset, and the milky way appear.
Rena was afraid to even look at the ocean. I took her to our beach about five times, and she was trying to brave, more than I knew. Looking at the video taken near Jenner, I can now put myself in her place, a flat safe, place.
I was concerned our Dodge would break down going up one of the greatest roads in the West. I was going to post a map, but changed my mind. We took a back pack with us in case we had to bail, and put our thumbs out and hitchhike to Nebraska. Rena was such a special cargo. She called her grandmother every time we went to town. Rena was part Nerd. She sure got her ticket punched for the California Dream Ride.
It was very uncool for a Hippie to get caught taking a pic with a camera, a rule I wished I had broke. This is a…….re-creation.

Kentfield (formerly Ross Landing, Tamalpais, and Kent)[5] is a census-designated place (CDP) in Marin County, California, United States, just north of San Francisco. Kentfield is located 2 miles (3 km) southwest of downtown San Rafael,[5] at an elevation of 115 feet (35 m).[3] The population was 6,808 at the 2020 census.[4] The ZIP codes are 94904 for street addresses, and 94914 for PO boxes, and are shared with the neighboring community of Greenbrae.
History
[edit]
In 1857, James Ross (1812–1862) bought Rancho Punta de Quentin. Ross, a Scot who had arrived in San Francisco from Australia in 1848 and made his fortune in the wholesale liquor business, set up a trading post called “Ross Landing”.[5][6] Steamers would come up Corte Madera Creek to the landing there.[5] Albert Emmett Kent bought the land from the Ross estate in 1871.[5][7] Kent built an estate called Tamalpais, later applied to the nearby railroad station.[5] His son, William Kent, was a US Congressman, philanthropist and founder of Muir Woods.[7]
The name of the railroad station was changed to Kent in the 1890s, and finally to Kentfield with the opening of the first post office in 1905.[5]

Rena Montana of Yellowstone
Posted on June 3, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
Rena Montana by John Presco Copyright 6/2/23
Rena Montana
by
John Presco
Copyright 2023
I watched three episodes of Yellowstone last night. What a terribly maudlin show, that you could tell was leading up to a Native American getting shot by a Angry White Man. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Kevin is going hog wild about his property he owns in the land Roy Rosamond and his wife, Mary Magdalene – roamed – without a cent! Yet they, and their offspring, got what Costner can’t get with all his millions and choice real-estate – a real Western – a sense that you belong here. and are the Real McCoy. After spending fifty million dollars putting their choice property on the line – his wife left him. I think she knows to – want it all -is to lose it all, because you are declaring – you don’t have it!
It! What is – IT? Is IT – a story?
Not far away from the Costner Sea-ranch, I plucked Rena Easton from the edge of the sea, and on Santa Barbara beach, I discovered she is afraid of the ocean. I did a large painting of her. I asked her to send me a photograph of her profile, and she jumped into an old pay photo booth. According to Garth Benton, who is kin to the Western Artist, Thomas Hart Benton, my sister used a projector and images of models cut out of fashion magazines, to become one of the wealthiest artists of our time. Christine Rosamond Benton has Rena Christensen Easton to thank. They met once, in Venice California.
Neither Cristine nor Irene knew Dollie Rosamond was buried on the same grave as her mother, Ida Rosamond, born, Ida Rose On this day, I raise Dollie from the dead, along with Carl Janke and folk, buried in the same grave in Redwood City What if, Dollie survived the Yellow Fever, and become the most beautiful young woman anyone has ever seen? She is called….The Red Rose of Yellowstone! When John Muri came upon her he thought he was seeing things. He swore he saw the ghost of a Greek Goddess.
“She’s different than any human I ever met. I suspect she died of the fever -but then came back. She practically raised herself. She claimed a pack of wolves raised her up!.
One day a handsome young man came into Yellowstone on a horse. riding with him were San Francisco business men. Some of them were foreigners. They wanted to purchase land that Muir wanted included in Yellowstone park. John Janke was the son of Carl Janke who brought six portable houses around the Cape and erected them suth of San Francisco. William Ralston ‘The Man Who Built San Francisco’ bought one, then added to it to make a fine house in the city that would be called….Belmont! It was here that the Janke family built a German Wonderland. These businessmen represent Prussian Royalty who wanted to build their own Vonderland in the wilderness – before it was gone. No sooner did Mr. Janke open his mouth, and deliver The Rose a winning smile, Rena cut him off – at the pass!
“Your’re trespassing on our land. You have no business here. Turn around and go back!
Baron von Studtmeister translated this old phrase into German, then gave his beautful Trakhner horse a slight signal to it’s ribs, and this War Horse – advanced! Rena had been admiring it, and her pack was sniffing it from on the other side of the rocks – that they mounted, and they took in the humans and their pack horses. Ralph Stutdmeistter was impressed. His Teutonic ancestors worshipped the wolf. He was named after a wolf – and the Master of the Horse! . Taking in the startling clear blues eyes of Rena, he lost interest in the cattle, the buffalos, and the giant trees. He had to have her. so did John Janke. And thus began the Great Western Rivalry that would carve out a Hidden Empire, that has remained a secret, to this day.
Rena told me her three older sisters were models, and one was the mistress of Robert Vesco.
“How come you don’t want to be a model like your sisters?”
“I don’t like their lifestyle!”
Rena got married again to a man who owns a small cattle ranch in Montana. What does that tell you?
Ms. Easton, I tried to tell you, I tried to give you, the title Sleeping Beauty. I told you were responsible for Rosamond’s success, and the success of Sarah Moon – who copied my sister’s style. His fans thought I was Sarah – an Iranian man who disguised himself as a woman! His real identity was unknow for many years. Sounds like the problem you got in Montana – that more gnarly cowboyism will solve?
. On Monday I will be taking two floppy discs to my computer guy to get them on the right track so I can publish them. The Gideon Computer is unfinished, but Chameleon Art – is done! This prophetic short story was written in 1987, the years I got sober.
“This is the birth of Artificial Intelligence!”
I will be known as The Emperor of Artistic Artifical Intelligence. You will be known as…
The Artistic Muse of Artificial Intelligence!. You are…..The Empress of Yellowstone!
Kevin! Abandon that project. This is the story the Emperor Computer has written for you to produce! Human Beings want – and need a Love Story – and not a sad story about a billionaire grumblepuss landowner who can’t find happiness. How boring. Not – my problem! When folks read it, they will proclaim…..
“About time!”
I wake up each day vondering how I can render – Rena! At least I used to. Eureka!
John Janke wrote a poem to Rena, first in High German, then, English. Von Studmeister got wind of this poem, and had Joaquin Miller help him with his poem. All three men were members of The Bohemian Club. The greatest poetry contest known to humankind, was underway!

Gavin brought a Montana Girl into the Getty Fold. I fell into a trance when Spooky Noodles told me 80 bodyguards went with Gavin to get hitched in Montana. I’s on……The Final Countdown! Jenny went to Sandford! I told Spooky I went into Dreamtime. I found a video with the two Light Witnesses.
John
Jennifer Lynn Siebel Newsom (born June 19, 1974) is an American documentary filmmaker and actress who is the current First Partner of California as the wife of Governor Gavin Newsom. She is the director, writer, and producer of the film Miss Representation (2011), which premiered in the documentary competition at the Sundance Film Festival. The film examines how the media has underrepresented women in positions of power. The Mask You Live In (2015), her second film which she wrote, produced and directed, scrutinizes American society’s definition of masculinity.
During her tenure as the wife of the governor, the role of first lady was retitled “first partner” to be gender inclusive.[3][4][5] She was previously the state’s second lady from 2011 to 2019 and first lady of San Francisco from 2008 to 2011.
Early life and education[edit]
Jennifer Lynn Siebel was born in San Francisco, to Kenneth F. Siebel Jr., an investment manager, and Judy Siebel (née Fritzer), cofounder of the Bay Area Discovery Museum in Sausalito.[2] She grew up in the suburb of Ross, California.[6][7][8] She is the second cousin once removed to Thomas Siebel.[9]
Jennifer is the second oldest of five girls and attended Ross Grammar School and The Branson School. At six years old, she was present when a golf cart accidentally ran over her older sister Stacy, killing her.[10] Siebel Newsom has stated that she still feels survivor’s guilt over her sister’s death. During high school, she played varsity basketball, soccer, and tennis.[11] She later graduated with honors from Stanford University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Latin American studies in 1996 and Master of Business Administration in 2001.[citation needed]
At Stanford, she was recruited to play on the women’s soccer team. While pursuing her MBA, Siebel Newsom also studied at the American Conservatory Theater, where she completed a certificate program. After completing her education, Siebel Newsom traveled to Africa, Latin America, and Europe on assignments with Conservation International, a global environmental coalition.[7]
Career[edit]
Siebel Newsom and Governor Newsom presenting the 2019 inductees in the California Hall of Fame.
In 2002, Siebel Newsom moved to Hollywood, where she concentrated on building her acting career.[7] Siebel Newsom earned many roles in television, film, and theater. She has appeared on such television shows as Life, Mad Men, Strong Medicine, and Numb3rs.
Miss Representation premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival to mostly positive reviews.[12] The film went on to screen at numerous other festivals, including the San Francisco International Film Festival, Athena Film Festival and won the Audience Award at the Palo Alto International Film Festival. The film interweaves stories from teenage girls with interviews with, among others, Condoleezza Rice, Lisa Ling, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Rosario Dawson, and Gloria Steinem discussing the media and its message regarding women.[13] On February 10, 2011, Oprah Winfrey announced that she had acquired the film for the OWN Documentary Film Club.[14]
Siebel Newsom raised $101,111 on Kickstarter to fund the production of her second film The Mask You Live In, which premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.[15] Her third film was The Great American Lie.[16] She directed the documentary film Fair Play in 2022.
Siebel Newsom co-founded The Representation Project, an organization which works to end gender stereotypes.[17] The Representation Project’s board members include Jan Yanehiro, Nathan Ballard, Susie McCormick, and Maureen Pelton.[18][19][20] In 2021, The Sacramento Bee revealed that from 2011 to 2018, Siebel Newsom earned $2.3 million from her film work through her nonprofit organization, which had received $800,000 in donations from companies with business before California’s government as her husband Gavin Newsom‘s political career ascended, and continued to draw her salary after he became governor.[21] While the practice is allowed by California law, outside ethics experts expressed concerns about conflicts of interest; a spokesperson for The Representation Project said Siebel Newsom had not overseen fundraising since 2015.[21]
Personal life[edit]
In the early 2000s, Siebel Newsom dated actor George Clooney.[7][22][23]
She met Gavin Newsom on a blind date set up by a mutual friend at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in October 2006.[1] The couple announced their engagement in January 2008.[1] Jennifer and Gavin wed in July of the same year at her parents’ ranch in Stevensville, Montana. The Newsoms have four children.[24][25][26][27]
In 2011, Siebel Newsom and her family moved from San Francisco to Kentfield, where she had grown up.[28] In 2019, Siebel Newsom and her family moved to Fair Oaks, California.[29]
Her sister, Melissa Siebel, is married to Joshua Irwing Schiller, son of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP co-founder Jonathan Schiller.[30]
Siebel Newsom was registered as a Republican until 2008, before re-registering as No Party Preference. Prior to registering as an independent voter, she accidentally registered with the far-right American Independent Party, before correcting her party to “decline to state”.[31]
Siebel Newsom was one of several accusers against Harvey Weinstein in his 2022 Los Angeles criminal rape and sexual assault trial.[32] In November 2022, Siebel Newsom testified in court that, in 2005, Weinstein had raped her in a hotel room, having lured her there under the pretenses of holding a professional discussion about film projects.[33] Weinstein’s attorney claimed what took place was “consensual, transactional sex“.[34] The jury was unable to reach a verdict on Newsom’s accusation and that of one of his other accusers. A mistrial was declared on those charges. However, the jury found Weinstein guilty on three counts pertaining to a third accuser, an Italian model and actress. Weinstein, who was already two years into a 23-year sentence for a rape and sexual assault conviction in New York, faced a 24-year sentence for the Los Angeles verdict as of December 2022.[35]
The Creative Royal Fleet Sets Sail

Here are the vessels that Sir Caspar John served upon. He was born into a artistic family. I would like see the College of Defence Studies founded by the Artist, Sir Winston Churchill, expanded to include Creative People in Britain and the U.S. As a rule artists, writers, and musicians do not take slaves, gas people, and loot other people’s art. Hitler did all three. He was a bad artist who cost the world many lives, and a trillion dollars to put him down. We took back the art he stole and put it in sacred public places. I support Theresa May’s strike against Assad, who gassed his own people.
Below are the warships that Sir Ian Easton served on.

Bread and Roses of Marin
Posted on August 21, 2017 by Royal Rosamond Press
Did Beryl Buck ever meet, or see, Mimi Farina, who was a good friend of my ex? Where are Beryl’s things and letters? Did she ever buy a ticket to go see Bread&Roses?
Above is a pic of where B&R was located in Mill Valley in Marin Couty. Mimi lived on Mount Tamalpais. Mimi created the ideal charity. She is the model for all Buck Foundations. Instead we get a dude playing with his expensive toys.
Sydney Morris screwed up the Brett Weston creative legacy. I had my mother call him and he and Stacey were about to throw away our family photos.
“Do you want them?”
“Of course I want them!”
These are fucking lawyers! They should be banned from getting near creative people.
Jon
Mimi died on July 18, 2001, at her home on Mt. Tamalpais in Mill Valley, California, surrounded by her family and close friends. Her vision lives on in the form of Bread & Roses today.
The Mission Statement for this inspirational program is as follows:
Bread & Roses is dedicated to uplifting the human spirit by providing free, live, quality entertainment to people who live in institutions or are otherwise isolated from society. Our performances: enrich the soul and promote wellness through the healing power of the performing arts; create a sense of community for our professional performers, in a non-commercial setting in which they can donate their talents to inspire and be inspired; provide an opportunity for non-performing volunteers to contribute a variety of skills and resources that support our humanitarian services and increase the impact of donor contributions. In carrying out this mission, Bread & Roses seeks to create a social awareness of people who are isolated from society, and to encourage the development of similar organizations in other communities.
Cunimund’s grim end and Rosamund are mentioned in J. R. R. Tolkien‘s story “The Lost Road”, when the character Alboin asks his father, Oswin Errol, about the origin of his name:
…and Oswin told his son the tale of Alboin son of Audoin, the Lombard king; and of the great battle of the Lombards and the Gepids, remembered as terrible even in the grim sixth century; and of the kings Thurisind and Cunimund, and of Rosamunda. ‘Not a good story for near bed-time,’ he said, ending suddenly with Alboin’s drinking from the jewelled skull of Cunimund…
—J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lost Road
In an early version of J. R. R. Tolkien‘s fantasy time-travel story The Lost Road, Tolkien considered placing one of his main characters in the person of Alboin.
Buck, Beryl (Elizabeth) H. (Hamilton)
(1896–1975) philanthropist; born in Minnesota; and Leonard W. (1891–1953) pathologist; born in Vacaville, Calif. Beryl met Leonard at Roosevelt Hospital in Oakland where she was training to be a nurse and he a doctor. They married a year later (1914). Leonard’s father died in 1916, and his mother in 1920, leaving the Buck’s millionaires with a fortune from oil. They built an estate in Ross (Marin County) (1931), and Leonard, a pathologist, taught at the University of California: San Francisco (1928–51). Leonard died suddenly, leaving all his estate to Beryl. She, in turn, formed the Leonard and Beryl Buck Foundation Trust which, after she died, became part of the San Francisco Foundation, with the stipulation that the money be reserved for Marin County’s needy and various nonprofit, educational, religious, and charitable organizations. What was a $15 million bequest became a $253-million trust when the Buck’s Beldridge Oil stock was bought by Shell Oil. Attempts by the San Francisco Foundation to spend money outside the already prosperous Marin County resulted in litigation and a court settlement (1986) establishing the Marin Community Foundation (1987), which administers the trust now valued at more than $500 million for Marin County residents.
“As far as Morris is concerned, the terms of the sale of the Weston archive represents the best outcome for both Weston”s estate, and for the legacy of Weston”s artistic achievement. Any supposed controversy over the sale, says Morris, is strictly in the mind of Williams, and that Brett never explicitly stated how he wanted his archive disposed of.
“I honestly feel the results achieved over the past four years are as good as could have been achieved for this estate,” says Morris. “We”ve done all we can do and I feel good about it. It has not been easy, but it”s my nature to know what I”m doing is right and doing the best job to get the estate closed.
“In my opinion the Center will have the definitive collection of Brett”s work and as far as everyone else is concerned they couldn”t be happier,” says Morris.
As a coda to the events surrounding the legal fight over the sale of Weston”s archive to Keesee, Williams herself was sued this past October by Morris on behalf of the estate over breach of contract for the remaining two books on Weston”s work, and for the return of 600 Weston photographs intended for those publications. She is also being sued for money Morris says is due the estate as a result of ongoing sales of Weston”s work by Williams at the Photography West Gallery.
Williams says she hadn”t gone forward on the other books because Morris told her the estate didn”t want any additional tax liabilities from any additional sales or promotions.
Morris denies Williams assertions, and says only that negotiations between the estate and Williams are ongoing and may be resolved in January.
“My feeling is she breached her contract for the other two books, and the estate issues have nothing to do with her failure to do the last two books,” says Morris.

Mimi the Muse
Posted on November 23, 2014by Royal Rosamond Press
Mimi Farina-Baez walked the earth as the embodiment of the Pre-Raphaelite Muse. She was a modern day Troubadour. I met her at the last Monterey Pop Festival, and fell in love. She owned the look I loved, that I found in other women, and loved these women. My ex-wife was Mimi’s friend, and did a life-size portrait or her. My late sister, Christine Rosamond Benton, has the same Madonna look. Arwen has this look. The Ring movies borrow from the world the Pre-Raphaelites rendered. Tolkien was obsessed with Queen Rosamond and might have modeled Arwin after this Queen. I am going have Mimi be my model for my images of several historic Rosamonds. With the snipping tool I can capture certain angles. The living muses I tried to get to be my model, could not grasp my ambition to make ROSAMOND a brand name. Here is a woman totally groking on the name Cordelia and Rosamond for the name of her baby when she is born.

Rosamund[edit]
Cunimund had a daughter named Rosamund (or Rosemund). She was forced into marrying Alboin after the Gepids‘ defeat, but she arranged his assassination in 572 or 573.
In literature[edit]
Cunimund’s grim end and Rosamund are mentioned in J. R. R. Tolkien‘s story “The Lost Road”, when the character Alboin asks his father, Oswin Errol, about the origin of his name:
…and Oswin told his son the tale of Alboin son of Audoin, the Lombard king; and of the great battle of the Lombards and the Gepids, remembered as terrible even in the grim sixth century; and of the kings Thurisind and Cunimund, and of Rosamunda. ‘Not a good story for near bed-time,’ he said, ending suddenly with Alboin’s drinking from the jewelled skull of Cunimund…

In an early version of J. R. R. Tolkien‘s fantasy time-travel story The Lost Road, Tolkien considered placing one of his main characters in the person of Alboin.
In Meg Cabot’s Princess Diaries, the country of Genovia’s first ruler was a princess named Rosamund, based on the princess Alboin raped. In the book, Mia writes that Rosamund’s father was killed by a warlord, who made his skull into a cup and forced her to drink from it. She strangled him in his sleep with her braids and was given the principality of Genovia in honor of her brave deed.
