Nouveau's Story
Meet Nouveau, a 16th century courtesan……or is she?
Nouveau was an ordinary woman except for the fact that she welcomed onto the silk sheets of her bed, the king, and, for that matter, most of the powerful men in all of Italy. She had more than one secret.
She knew who had the most influence in their land. Would people be shocked to know that whispered into the ears of the elite were the political desires of one woman? A woman who could hold captive any man she desired.
It is said that a man thinks with a part of his anatomy that is not the head on his shoulders. He thinks with and is driven by, something else entirely. The woman, who entices THAT brain, is a powerful woman.
Nouveau, however, realized that Love and Compassion are the true powers of the universe. Some said she was ruthless, but they did not know about the countless people she actually saved. A case in point…One evening, when 25 women were to be burned alive for being witches, Nouveau was entertaining the very man in charge of the burning and he was unable to give the command to light the fire. With promises of forbidden delights, she convinced him to pardon all of ladies. Some of them went on to open a home for orphaned girls. They were trained to be emissaries of the light.
What is the light? Nouveau knew this intimately, for she was of the light, the source of all Love and Compassion. She agreed to come to earth in human form to help those who desperately needed a change in their heart.
In her time in Italy, 717 women were saved from the stake as a result of her influence. 3 major wars were de-railed and countless other changes in what would have been an even darker time. The history books do not reflect this. The men she influenced would hardly mention that their heart was softened by a lady of the night.
And there are, of course, many who do not WANT to know that a beautiful courtesan dramatically changed the course of history………..but she did. And when her job was done, she transported back to her home planet where women were in power and peace prevailed……imagine that.
