Book, artists book, log book

The Log Book of Kathleen Mabel Milnes (1900 - 1943, 'Blue Falcon'). Kathleen Milnes joined the KK in 1923, and this book records her history in the movement although she began writing it it in 1927. She was one of the movement's most dedicated followers.

Following in the footsteps of her father W.H. Milnes, one time Head of Walthamstow School of Art, Kathleen Milnes was an art teacher, working at Badminton School, King Alfred School Hendon and Enfield County school..She undertook all the illuminating work on the Kinlog.

She described the symbolism of the book's cover: 'On the cover I wrought and painted an image of Ygsadril, the world tree, with the serpent curled, as ever round its roots. Odin's all-seeing eyes, the sun and moon look on, Bifrost encircles it, and blue is the starry space around. Above, below and everywhere flies the Blue Falcon, everything seeing, its keen glance, pirecing space. Yet are all these things woven of the waves of dark and light, energy and inertia, life and death, the parents of One, the twin children of the Great Mystery'.
