'Overview of the Legend and Mythology
of the Seventh Son'
This Legend although mentioned in specific detail through many books of the
old and new testaments of the King James version of the Bible, predates it,
back to the dawn of time in all major philosophies and cultures of the world.
The Legend states the 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son' is the unborn one in
the poetic sense, 'He' being preordained by his birthright too be a 'Maker of
Things' endowed with gifts of 'second sight' 'predicting the future' 'healer'
'lucky' and a 'devil may care attitude' being referred to as the 'Divine One'
or the 'Chosen One' who has a 'special purpose in life' for the 'Lord of
Hosts' who is also cursed by the good & evil forces battling for his eternal
soul.
He is a person who pervades the domain of intellectual speculation and
diffuses himself through the channels of moral activity. He is omnific, omniform,
omnipercipient, omniscience, omnipotent. He it was who invented letters,
printing, the railroad, the steamboat, the telegraph, the platitude and the
circle of the sciences. He created patriotism and taught the nations war --
founded theology, philosophy, law, medicine and Chicago.
He established monarchical and republican government. He is from everlasting
to everlasting -- such as creation's dawn beheld he fooleth now. In the
morning of time he sang upon primitive hills, and in the noonday of existence
headed the procession of being.
His grandmotherly hand was warmly tucked-in the set sun of civilization, and
in the twilight he prepares Man's evening meal of milk-and-morality and
turns down the covers of the universal grave. And after the rest of us shall have
retired for the night of eternal oblivion he will sit up to write a history
of human civilization in the Books of Life!
There has been over 200 autobiographies or reflections of 'Seventh Sons'
down through history, and it is also linked with musical scores performed by
various artists starting with the blues great 'Willie Dixon' whom wrote the
original lyrics that was taken from Benjamin Elijah May's 'A Black Man's God as
reflected in his thinking' that Johnny Rivers rerecorded in his anthology of
1965 to 'Iron Maiden' who devoted an entire CD Disc to the Legend of which
their lyrics were based on 'Orson Scott Cards' series of books on the 'Seventh
Son'.
