Question: What's the meaning of the cover and the artwork in the booklet of "A Legacy of Love"?
Sid : The pictures show neolithic paintings and statues & figurines of European Goddesses to emphasize the spiritual aspects of Antichrisis, because all songs on this album are dedicated to the Great Goddess, and to a certain extent "A Legacy of Love" can be seen as a tribute to her.

Question: You do seem to be fascinated by ancient cultures, am I right?
Sid: Yes, you are: I'm interested in matriarchal cultures all over the world, especially in those of Northern-European, pre-Celtic origin.
I do also admire Celtic Art: I remember having seen photographs of early Celtic Art when I was about 14 years old, and from that very moment I've been fascinated by the rich symbolism and the beauty of that artistic school; and so I tried to go deeper into Celtic Culture, reading every available book that I could lay my hands on. I spent about 10 or 12 years on reading and learning until I began actually understanding the spirit of all I've read about, which goes far beyond plain knowledge - spiritual awareness cannot be learned, it has to be experienced. Of course it was of great importance to me to gain knowledge through literature, but really experiencing the Celtic Spirit happened when I visited some of the ancient quoits in England and Ireland and listened to the old ballads not only with my ears, but with my heart!
