Choose Your Path
Start with the part of her world that fits your interest.
Some visitors want the writings first. Some want the art. Some arrive through a name, place, or historical thread. This guide keeps all of those doors visible.
Free artwork downloads
Go here for free larger image files where public downloads are available, with clear next-step links into the archive.
Published article trail
Use the bibliography when you want the preserved public article list, direct reading links, and grouped publication themes.
Research archive
Go deeper into the site-built archive when a short article opens into a larger subject world, place thread, or unresolved source trail.
Artwork and visual record
Use the gallery, works catalog, art timeline, and artwork guide to move through the visual side of the tribute with more context.
Her story and public record
Read the biography, sources, and legacy pages when you want the tribute context behind the archive and artwork.
Best First Reading Paths
The strongest writing-entry points on the site.
These pages are some of the clearest topic-led doors for new visitors and long-tail search traffic.
Southern France and sacred history
Rennes-le-Chateau, Sauniere, Plantard, Bugarach, Galamus, and the symbolic-history thread that runs through much of the archive.
Ancient worlds and archaeology
King Tut, Maya subjects, Izapa, Dos Pilas, restoration, and object-centered reading paths.
Anomalous experiences and sky signs
Crop circles, UFO Tucson, remembered encounters, and the first-person sky-sign material.
Books, images, and symbolic reading
Leonardo, relics, talismans, paintings, and essays built through symbolic interpretation and visual reading.
Search by place
Tucson, Rennes-le-Chateau, Galamus, Bugarach, Limoux, Girona, and other places recur across the site and give readers grounded entry points.
Search by image or object
The gallery, artwork guide, works catalog, Leonardo page, Iron Cross page, and Egypt pages help people move through the archive visually.
Search by document type
Publications, sources, timeline pages, and site-built archive pages all answer slightly different reader intent.
When a title is your first clue
Use the named-work trail before you browse every image.
The clearest public anchors already visible in the archive include Phoenix Bird, Designs for Tucson’s Gentle Ben’s, Izapa Stela 5, Blue Thunderbird Over Mt. Graham, Nolo Mi Tangere / Resurrection Scene, and Monument Valley Arizona collages.
When a title still is not enough
Pair the work name with a place, era, or source trail.
Use the timeline for year markers, places for geography, Tucson / MJA Studio for the outside web trace, and sources when you need to see where a title entered the public record.
Use The Guide Like An Index
When the clue is vague, start from what you actually remember.
This keeps the guide practical for search visitors who remember only one title, one place, one visual motif, or one outside source name.
You remember a title
Use publications for article titles and works catalog for artwork titles, then branch into the related topic or source trail.
You remember a place
Use places when the memory is Tucson, Rennes-le-Chateau, Bugarach, Galamus, Limoux, or another recurring geography.
You remember an image, object, or motif
Use the artwork guide, gallery, and named-work trail when the memory is visual rather than bibliographic.
You remember a source or blog name
Use sources and the research archive when the remembered clue is UFO Digest, CalleValentinus, the Saenz diary, LDS Archaeology, or another outside trace.
Keep Readers Moving
The site works best when people can enter anywhere and still find the archive structure fast.
Use the topic hub, downloads page, publications page, sources page, and gallery together so a first click becomes a longer visit.
