Blake's Prophesies Revealed (Community Blog)

When looking through the blogs made by my English class at CAL I was really interested in a specific blog called Blake's Prophecies Revealed that helped by further understand the prophecies of William Blake. The group that created this blog includes my classmates Edde Diaz, Makenna Childers, Alex Pinzone and Hanh Tran.  This blog was put together in a very organized and neat manner that really fits together that made me want to continue looking through it. They have a brown color scheme that gives a scholar feeling to it which is really appropriate because they are teaching about William Blake.
The posts of this blog specify on Blake's prophecies which include the prophecies of America, Europe, and Asia. They go into depth to describe and explain the symbolism within each prophecy. Since the prophecies of Blake include a lot of symbolism throughout the poems he wrote it was hard for me to understand all of his deeper meanings. These posts are very helpful because they helped me get that deeper understanding of the prophecies that I needed in order to understand the prophecies he wrote. Each post also includes a copy of the original art that Blake made that go with each prophecy poem. The pictures are very interesting because they themselves include so much symbolism that goes with the poem.
What really got my attention from this blog was an entry made by Edde Diaz on an article by Thomas J. J. Altizer called “The Revolutionary Vision of William Blake”. This post describes Blake's opinion and beliefs of Christianity. Edde Diaz portrays the meaning of Christianity that Blake describes in his poems and life. This post is something that I really enjoyed reading because it shows different point of views and is very well explained.

I found this blog very helpful and full of interesting information that really does help further understand William Blake as a poet. This blog teaches on the prophecies of Blake and on his opinion of Christianity. The blog helps understand the symbolism in Blake’s work and can teach everyone at least a little about William Blake. I think that this blog has fulfilled its goal in sharing its knowledge of William Blake’s prophesies, and helps reveal a lot.
