Speedy deletion of Weyl-Wigner Transform
A tag has been placed on Weyl-Wigner Transform requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Yavoh 20:56, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Lambada
Thank you fdor your contribution to the Lambada article. Please add references that confirm your additions. Please keep in mind that by wikipedia policies summarized in Attribution an unreferenced text may be deleted soon. `'Míkka>t 04:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

P.S. I also quickly looked into your addition into [Palladium Ballroom]]. It also lacks references. Please add. In addition please keep in mind that wikipedia maintains emotionally and stylistically neutral tone and phrases such as "grew tremendously" or "taking everyone by storm" are inadmissible, and someone will delete them sooner or later. Please rewrite them so that nobody else will screw them up.`'Míkka>t 04:14, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I know. The text is not my work. I just sorted the topics out, like I do with many articles. I hope that the text will evolve into a good and referenced article. At least people now know where to look for. ' -Caco
 * You wrote "the text is not my work". Please provide references to this work. `'Míkka>t 20:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I expect that there is not a guide or reference on Lambada. The knowledge is with the dancers and the teachers, and they publish some of it on their websites.
 * You have to give references to these websites. Attribution is the basic rule of wikipedia. Sivce anyone can edit wikipedia, proper reverence is the only way to ensure that the information is correct and not corrupted with by some joker. Please believe, there are many vandals playing with wikipedia. Some of them are just bored teenagers who insert obscenities in text. But there are quite a few villains who deliberately insert false information which looks very correct at the first glance. `'Míkka>t 21:49, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Another way of verifying that facts are true is, that they are (self)consistent, plausable and stand the test of review. :-).
 * What should be the reference link density? There are only a few sources though. -Caco
 * There is no general rule. For a long text from a single source you may place the footnote at the end of each paragraph. You can easily make many footnotes to the same reference. Below I will show you the example of syntax.

Please don't add references to youtube. This is not valid source for wikipedia. `'Míkka>t 20:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I think youtube is a valid source for wikipedia, just like links from wikipedia to any other site. Wikipedia does not provide this kind of media. For dancing styles it is almost impossible to explain what it looks like without seeing it. -Caco
 * Please believe me, youtube is not an admissible source for wikipedia, for a number of serious reasons. Please see Reliable sources for general rules. I understand very well that it is very different to explain dance and music without seeing and hearing. However please keep in mind that wikipedia is encyclopedia, not an instruction manual to go into intricate detail. Encyclopedia gives general description, history, etc. For instruction manuals there is a sister proejct called wikibooks. and there is Dance section in it. `'Míkka>t 21:49, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't agree. Wikipedia is not a real encyclopedia. I think, it's concept surpasses it. I believe that wikipedia can and does go into intricate detail and gives general descriptions at the same time. See for example the articles on mathematics and physics. "Uninteresting" details can always be passed to a separate article. I never delete stuff, that looks likes it could be relevant to people. -Caco
 * Wikipedia is real encyclopedia. While articles are written by anybody, the rule is that the information must come from a respectable source. In your case, if the video comes from a well-known  teacher,  it may be admissible. On youtube anyone may upload anything and if it is a random guy dancing lambada in the street, I have no reason to believe that he dances it correctly. If the video come from a teacher, it must come from the website of this teacher, then it may be considered a reliable source. `'Míkka>t 22:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I understand your point. But this is not the way youtube works. Youtube hosts movies for people, because the load is too heavy for their own websites. Most of the time the movies are self evident, i.e. you can see who is in the video. The fact that the video's are there and get a lot of viewers, often means that the (possibly well known) people in the video agree with its publication.
 * I see it this way. If you know how lambada is danced, just go into discussion with me why that video is not lambada - original style. Anyway... I don't care about those links. But the links I put on the Zouk article are very usefull to people. Wouldn't want people to delete them :-) --Caco

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. While your edits are welcome and appreciated, we don't need a separate subsection for every paragraph. Replacing prose with lists is also frowned upon. Please see our Manual of Style for more information. Thank you. - ∅  ( ∅ ), 19:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I will read that text about style later. I agree with your statement in case of a text which reaches its end stadium. But as long as it is in high development it needs to be penetrable. This is why the topics are needed. This way it becomes accessible more quickly. Maybe wikipedia needs to be "changed" to allow for topics which are visible only on request.

Standard Model rewrite
User:TriTertButoxy did a major rewrite that makes our differences moot. I think that the SM article is now much worse.--Truthnlove (talk) 13:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * What I saw of... (but I don't know the details of the previous article) is that the new text is quite clear. If stuff is missing now, I suggest you merge this stuff with the new article ;-)

QM/QFT
I have created Template:Quantum field theory to emphasize the distinction between QM and QFT. I think it helps to sort these things out.--Truthnlove (talk) 22:53, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I know the difference between QFT and QM. QFT is the the application of QM principles to fields. So QFT is a subfield of QM. But I support your use of the QFT template... An interesting question now, is whether QG is QFT or something else? Is string theory QFT? String theory is QM for sure.

Kentucky Route 100

Kentucky Route 100 (KY 100) is a state highway in south-central Kentucky. It originates at a junction with U.S. Highway 79 in Russellville in Logan County. The route continues through Simpson, Allen and Monroe Counties to terminate at a junction with KY 90 near Waterview in Cumberland County.

According to the Caves, Lakes, and Corvettes regional brochure by the Kentucky Department of Tourism, the entire KY 100 corridor is considered a Kentucky Scenic Byway.

History
Kentucky Route 100 was one out of many charter state highways when the statewide system of state highways began in the late 1920s into 1930. Its original western terminus was located near downtown Russellville, and its eastern terminus was originally located about 3 mi west of Burkesville on KY 90. It originally went through unincorporated small communities such as Leslie and Arat. However, at some time between 1945 and 1958, KY 100's final few miles and its eastern terminus were both rerouted to its current location with another intersection with KY 90 at Waterview, further west of Burkesville. KY 1205 and most of KY 691 are the current designations for the original KY 100 ending. The remaining parts of the original alignment in western Cumberland County are either no longer existing (especially the originally unpaved section) or they still exist, but is now maintained by the Cumberland County Road Department.

In 2015, KY 100's western terminus was truncated to a crossroads intersection with U.S. Route 68 and US 68 Business on the east side of Russellville. This was done to reduce car accidents at the original west terminus, which was also where US 79's northern terminus was originally located. In 2018, the western terminus was truncated again to Franklin Road's intersection with the then-new southern loop of the Russellville Bypass with the US 79 designation.

Kentucky Route 100 Truck
Kentucky Route 100 Truck (KY 100 Truck) is the truck route of KY 100 in Franklin, in Simpson County. It follows the KY 1008 beltway bypassing downtown Franklin to the south. This includes the first 3.418 mi of KY 1008.

Niagara (painter and singer)

Niagara, born Lynn Rovner in Detroit, Michigan in 1955, is a painter and musician. She was the lead vocalist of the proto-punk rock bands Destroy All Monsters (DAM) and Dark Carnival. Her painting derives principally from the Lowbrow art movement.

Career
At the University of Michigan, Niagara founded Destroy All Monsters in 1974 with fellow art students Mike Kelley and Jim Shaw and Filmmaker Cary Loren. DAM remained active until 1985, with former members of The Stooges and the MC5 on board. Niagara soon after fronted the group Dark Carnival (with guitarist Ron Asheton and drummer Scott Asheton—both recruited from The Stooges). In 2004, Classic Rock and Rock & Folk magazines named Niagara one of the "100 Greatest Front Men." She was also one of two centrefolds for Punk Magazine along with Debbie Harry. In 2014, Niagara was the inspiration for a project in March 2014 British Vogue, Cause Célèbre, produced by Kate Moss in which model Daria Werbowy stands in for Niagara.

Visual Art
Niagara paints with acrylic on canvas. With her use of bright colors, caricature portrayal of figures, and comic strip inclusion of words spoken by the figures, Niagara's style can loosely be described as Pop Art. The cartoon and comic panel style was famously utilized by painter Roy Lichtenstein, also a touchstone for her work. Her early 1970s work with collage, Xerox prints, and promotional materials for Destroy All Monsters influenced her later painting style; the bold, figurative images are evidence of that. The "lowbrow" aesthetic epitomized by the painter Robert Williams, which evolved in Southern California in the 1970s, also influenced her.

Aside from overt Pop Art stylistic tropes, Niagara also incorporates influences of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which with some friction honored both Romanticism and Realism and depicted strong if not tragic women such as the famous Ophelia by Millais, or The Blue Bower by Rossetti. She also took cues from the Decadent movement, which was in turn influenced by Gothic fiction. Art Nouveau imprints her work with its swirling, floral-inspired, whiplash lines and the belle époque women of Toulouse-Lautrec. As a child, Niagara was enamored of John R. Neill who illustrated works by L. Frank Baum and others.

Niagara told Swindle magazine,

"The first art style that I identified with was Art Nouveau. Then I discovered Decadent Art (1850s-era England), the Pre-Raphaelite movement: haunted, pale, druggy women. I read constantly. I was deep into Dostoyevsky and Dickens. Colette. The best are the writers that can turn a phrase devastatingly funny. The witticisms and bon mots of Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, Dorothy Parker. Andy Warhol was a riot. That's probably why I have captions in my paintings. I want the women in my paintings to speak."

Destroy All Monsters
Destroy All Monsters was a band started in 1974 by University of Michigan art students Niagara on vocals; Mike Kelley on drums and vocals; Jim Shaw on vocals and squeeze toys; and Cary Loren on guitar and vocals. This proto-noise-band was the first pure noise-band according to music historian and Sonic Youth band member, Thurston Moore, who said, "I can find no earlier example of such primitive playing with the use of non-instruments." In 1994, drawing from early rehearsal and performance tapes, Moore released a three disc box set of these seminal basement recordings, "DAM 1974-1976" on his music label Ecstatic Peace. The original line up of musicians was not around long. In 1977, Niagara met ex-Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton, and he became her paramour. Ron thought the band's music had potential. To realize that potential, he recruited Michael Davis (ex-MC5 bassist), a real powerhouse crucial for rock bottom percussive bass. Davis, recently released from prison, was available and agreed to be part of the band. Next hired was Rob King on drums. King's drums were precise, fast and powerful, an unusual combination. Next the Miller brothers were added, Ben on saxophone, and Larry on guitar, both accomplished musicians with a punk-jazz pedigree.

The local media, including the Detroit Free Press, and The Detroit News attended early shows and gave prominent coverage to the "events," as the press referred to them. Lester Bangs wrote about "Destroy All Monsters" affectionately in CREEM magazine. Even Rolling Stone took notice with articles and interviews about the new punk phenomenon, "Niagara is strange on stage, almost like she was awakened from a deep slumber and is surprised to find herself on stage." Spin Magazine described Niagara's stage presence as, "A thrift store Nico in a bloody gown." Accounts of Niagara falling off stage were numerous. Yet, Niagara seemed blessed with nine lives, and someone always caught her, including the MC5's Rob Tyner at the Kramer Theater, "I saved Niagara's life!"

After a brief European tour four singles were produced in this early Punk era: "Bored," "You're Gonna Die," "What Do I Get?" and "Nobody Knows." The Monsters soon hooked up with the Ramones and The Dead Boys. The band members became fast friends and touring buddies. When in New York, The Dead Boys or Ramones would open, In Cleveland or Detroit, DAM got top billing. This led to many famous pairings with shows at Max's Kansas City and CBGB's in New York, The Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, Bookies in Detroit and Second Chance in Ann Arbor. The punk incarnation of the band lasted from 1977 to 1985.

Dark Carnival
In 1984, Niagara met Detroit music promoter and impresario Colonel Galaxy. The Colonel's ambitious project, Dark Carnival, had the original concept of a performance art troop that borrowed heavily from the Stooges, MC5, Velvet Underground blueprint. The Colonel found that with one player from each of a dozen Detroit punk bands he could create a "super group" and control them, (much like Colonel Tom Parker did with Elvis, hence his moniker, "The Colonel"). Bootsey X from the Lovemasters was the first member signed, then Mark Norton from the RamRods, Gary Adams from The Cubes, Mike McFeaters from What Jane Shared, Jerry Vile from The Boners, Sarana VerLin from Natasha, Greasy Carlisi from Motor City Bad Boys, Robert Gordon and Art Lyzak from The Mutants, Joe Hayden from Bugs Bedow, Pete Bankert from Weapons, Larry Steel from The Cult Heroes.

Later Dark Carnival saw some turnover, with the "big" names signing on: Niagara from Destroy All Monsters, Ron and Scott Asheton from the Stooges, Cheetah Chrome from the Dead Boys, Jim Carroll even came in from New York.

Niagara fell for the Colonel and they got married in 1986. The revolving Vaudeville-like assembly evolved into a battle-hardened, proto-punk outfit, which included Niagara, Ron Asheton, Scott Asheton, and Greasy Carlisi. This band toured the US, Canada, and Australia twice between the years 1984-2000. John Holmstrom of Punk Magazine says, "Dark Carnival produced some of the best pure Punk music I've ever heard and did it longer than anyone, Niagara's been singing for 20 years and still looks exactly the same!"

The Hitmen
When Niagara and Dark Carnival toured Australia in 1991 she befriended members of Dark Carnival's infamous opening band, The Hitmen. Based in Sydney Australia, The Hitmen were fixtures of the Australian musical landscape. Their elite membership read like a Who's Who in the Australian punk rock community. With members such as Deniz Tek from Radio Birdman, The New Christs, and Screaming Tribesmen, The Hitmen knew well the elusive Detroit sound Niagara was after. Other members of The Hitmen included world-famous guitarist Chris Masuak, Tony Jukic on rhythm guitar, Tony Robertson on bass, and Murray Shepherd on drums. Murray's brother Brad Shepherd, lead guitarist of the Hoodoo Gurus, also played on the tour's final show.

Art career
Niagara applied her art school experience to create album and promotional art for early Destroy All Monsters performances. Combining an illustrator's hand with some collage and pop iconography Niagara collaborated with the others using a then cutting-edge Xerox printer to create the first Proto-Punk gig flyers. These flyers utilized found image collage with ironic and humorous intent. Niagara's style began to take shape in earnest during the later DAM incarnation with Ron Asheton, creating flyers and album art and by the early 1990s she began to show paintings in small exhibits and cafes around the Detroit area.

In 1996, Niagara teamed up with the Royal Oak, Michigan art space ©POP Gallery. Her first exhibits All Men Are Cremated Equal (1996) and Faster Niagara, Kill ... Kill (1997) were breakout shows, which garnered her regional praise. Soon art periodicals such as Juxtapoz heralded her as "The Queen Of Detroit" and many successful exhibits would follow in other cities like Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Sydney, Paris, Manchester UK, and Tokyo.

In 2004, ©POP invited her to curate a show entitled The Funhouse Art Show, which featured work by her music business associates Iggy Pop, Ron and Scott Asheton, Lou Reed, and others. That same year, she published Beyond the Pale, an autobiographical review of her career.

In 2006 Niagara had her first UK exhibition at Richard Goodall Gallery in Manchester England. Niagara premiered a full clothing line with the avant-garde couturier Hysteric Glamour to coincide with her opening in Tokyo in 2007. Also unveiled in 2008 was Niagara's collaboration with Vans. The result was Vans Vault series that featured seven unique styles of popular urban footwear based on Niagara designs which debuted in Paris 2008. Niagara returned to Richard Goodall Gallery in 2008 for The Good, The Bad, & The Beautiful. Outré Gallery in Australia also produced a set of Niagara silk-screened limited edition prints to coincide with Niagara's sold out shows in Sydney and Melbourne in 2008. In 2009 Niagara took the stage full-time with Dark Carnival tours in Australia, Europe, and United States.

In 2007, Rick Manore, co-founder of ©POP, said of Niagara, "She's as big as Bill Murray in Japan right now. Thousands of goth Lolitas in Tokyo alone are wearing her face, artwork and photos all over themselves, thanks to her deal with the fashion house, Hysteric Glamour. Last year, she circumnavigated the Pacific rim with exhibits in San Francisco and Sydney."

Return of the Repressed: Destroy All Monsters 1973-1977, a retrospective DAM exhibition curated by Mike Kelley and Dan Nadel, featured the singular and collaborative work of Mike Kelley, Jim Shaw, Carey Loren and Niagara. The show opened at PRISM in Los Angeles on November 19, 2011 and ran through January 7, 2012. A catalog published by PRISM and PictureBox, edited by Mike Kelley and Dan Nadel with an essay by Nicole Rudick accompanied the exhibition.

In July 2012, Niagara exhibited her first Detroit show in 6 years, War Paint at Re:View Contemporary Gallery. In 2014 Niagara was the inspiration for a project in March 2014 British Vogue, Cause Célèbre, produced by Kate Moss in which model Daria Werbowy stands in for Niagara.

Martín Francisco Javier Mina y Larrea

General Martín Francisco Javier Mina y Larrea (July 1, 1789 – November 11, 1817), nicknamed El Mozo or El Estudiante (Student), was a Spanish lawyer and army officer, who later became a Mexican independence figure.

Biography
Francisco Javier Mina was born in Otao, Navarre, to Juan Mina, a wealthy farmer, and Maria Larrea. Mina studied Latin, mathematics, and humanities at the local seminary while living in Pamplona with his uncle and aunt, Clemente and Simona Espoz. At the age of 18, he left Otago to continue his education in Zaragoza, where he began studying law at the university.

During the Peninsular War in early 1808, Spain was under occupation by French troops, prompting Mina to flee to the hills and forests of his native region. There he formed a guerrilla force of ten men. Under his leadership, the force grew to over 200 men. Mina launched raids on the French and succeeded in capturing arms, ammunition, and horses. These additional resources allowed Mina to expand his small army to over 1,200 men and 150 mounted cavalries. He began to engage in full-scale military actions to find new strength in these numbers. Mina was captured in March 1810 and sent to Vincennes prison in France. He was finally released in April 1814, concurrent with the collapse of Napoleon's government.

On returning to Spain he was made a colonel of the Navarre Hussars by King Ferdinand VII. However, Mina did not sympathize with the king, because he had abolished the democratic government created under the Constitution of 1812. After a planned coup d'état against the king failed, Mina fled to France; from Bayona he traveled to England where he met Servando Teresa de Mier.

Servando Teresa de Mier recruited him to fight the absolute monarchy of Ferdinand VII in his colonies. [The article about de Mier says that Mina was the one doing the convincing.] A few English lords made Mina's voyage to America possible. In May 1816, 20 Spanish officers and an Italian and English crew left Liverpool.

After arriving in Baltimore in the United States, Mina met with a group of Spanish American agents there to organize the expedition. Manuel Torres, Miguel Santamaria and José Rafael Revenga helped organize funding from a group of Baltimore merchants, while Pedro Gual acted as his press agent. In September Mina sailed on two ships. First, Mina and his crew sailed from Baltimore to Puerto Principe, Haiti, and from Puerto Principe to Galveston, New Spain, where they arrived November 24. He then moved to what is now the nation of Mexico. In April 1817, Mina took a force of about 250 men southward in ships provided by the French privateer, Louis-Michel Aury. They arrived at Soto la Marina, Tamaulipas. He planned to join the southern Mexican revolutionaries led by Guadalupe Victoria and others.

Mina fully engaged in the struggle for Mexican independence. On May 24, 1817, Mina left his base with 300 men, moving to several villages on his way to Fuerte del Sombrero, a fortification defended by Pedro Moreno. Mina published a letter stating that he was fighting the King's tyranny, not the Spanish Empire. On August 1, Field Marshal Pascual Liñán arrived with a powerful army at the fort. Mina escaped to Fuerte de Los Remedios to help José Antonio Torres.

In October 1817, Mina was captured and Pedro Moreno was killed, at El Venadito ranch. The prisoner was presented to Colonel Francisco de Orrantia, who took him to Silao. Eventually, Mina was sent to the Liñán.

On November 11, 1817, Mina was executed by a firing squad on a hill close to the Fuerte de Los Remedios region of the Sierra de Pénjamo, by the Zaragoza Battalion. He was 28 years old.

Legacy
Martín Francisco Javier Mina y Larrea should not be confused with his successor and distant relative Francisco Espoz Ilundáin, generally known at the time as Francisco Espoz y Mina, a nom de guerre that he took to associate himself with the triumphs of his predecessor.

In the 1830s, a town in colonial Texas was renamed Mina; but a few years later (after the Texas Revolution), the name was changed back to Bastrop. Mina, a municipality of the northeastern Mexican state of Nuevo León, formerly named San Francisco de Cañas, was renamed on 31 March 1851 in honor of Francisco Javier Mina.

General Francisco Javier Mina International Airport or (IATA: TAM, ICAO: MMTM) is an international airport named after him, located at Tampico.

Mina was depicted on the 2008 5 peso coin for the Bicentenary Independence commemorative coin set.

Joan Grant

Joan Marshall Grant Kelsey (London, 12 April 1907 – 3 February 1989) was an English writer of historical novels and a reincarnationist.

Life
Joan Marshall was born 12 April 1907, in London, daughter of John Frederick Marshall and Blanche Emily Hughes. Joan Marshall's father, a wealthy man, was of dual US-British nationality—a prizewinning tennis player who at one point won his place in the semi-finals of the World Championship for each country, and thus needed to play against himself. A serious amateur entomologist, he also carried out at his own expense valuable pioneering work on the Anopheles mosquito for which purpose he had installed a full research unit on Hayling Island.

Joan Marshall spent her early years on Hayling Island in Hampshire. She remembered being a lively, determined girl. She was trained in ballet, until an injury ended the pursuit. She learned tennis, and as a young woman won the Hampshire Ladies Golf finals, claiming she had never before played golf. She also described herself as an excellent, and risk-taking, horsewoman.

Joan said that she learned aspects of science by assisting her father with his entomological research. H. G. Wells was a friend of Joan's father whom Joan remembered as an admirer and sometime mentor. Joan described her mother as having had second-sight visions. Joan herself said she experienced parapsychological phenomena from young girlhood, which sensitivity was recognized not only by herself but by friends, who often told her it was eerie.

Though raised in genteel circumstances, Joan considered herself plucky and resourceful enough in her adult years to admirably adapt and live through some harsh periods of deprivation and patches of genuine calamity in Iraq.

She married Leslie Grant on 30 November 1927. Leslie Grant had studied for a career in law, but became excited by the adventitious opportunity to join an archaeological dig as a photographer documenting the uncovering of Ancient Egyptian structures and artifacts in Iraq. Joan joined him there, later remembering temperature extremes and violent dust storms and under remote and starkly primitive conditions.

Joan married Charles Beatty on 14 March 1940 (however, she retained the name "Joan Grant" as her nom de plume). Beatty was also a writer, first manager of the Montague Motor Museum in Beaulieu and one of the first announcers on Radio Luxembourg. He transcribed some of Joan Grant's earlier books from a wire voice recorder.

Joan married Denys Kelsey on 1 September 1960. Denys Kelsey had had a career as a practising psychiatrist. In the course of his work Kelsey had come to believe in a human soul. He used hypnosis when working with patients. Joan apparently convinced him to believe in Reincarnation and in her psychic abilities. Apparently he would sometimes ask her to use her paranormal gifts to help in the analysis of especially challenging psychological and psychosomatic clients.

Novels
Her first and most famous novel was Winged Pharaoh (1937). Grant shot to unexpected fame upon publication. The New York Times hailed it as "A book of fine idealism, deep compassion and a spiritual quality pure and bright as flame", a sentiment echoed in reviews published elsewhere in the world. What her readers did not officially know, for almost another twenty years, was that Joan claimed to have recalled the events in Winged Pharaoh while in a hypnotic or trance-like state, dictating piecemeal the lifetime that she believed herself to have lived. The book is still considered a cult classic in so-called New Age literature. It was followed by other historical fantasies, or as Grant called them, "Far Memory books," or "previous life autobiographies".

Winged Pharaoh was initially accepted as a novel. Grant was consciously aware of many details of Egyptian history, having accompanied her first husband on his Egyptian expeditions. Occultists embraced it as an autobiography of a previous existence. Historians claimed inter alia that the calendar used in the book had never existed and also that there was no evidence whatsoever for the existence of an "avenue of trees" referred to in the book. Supposedly, after World War II a text was found which, when translated, proved to be the calendar referred to by Grant in the 1937 book. Grant's later novel, Lord of the Horizon (1943) was set in Egypt during the reign of the Pharaoh Amenemhat I.

Reincarnationism
Grant believed she had been reincarnated at least forty times and that her far memory of past lives provided her the base material for her historical novels. She strove to disabuse herself and her readers of preconceptions, to eschew what she called 'group-think'. She was not interested in blind faith and blind belief, but in what could be perceived as true by the five senses. She claimed to have an unusual gift of "far memory" – the ability to remember previous lives, and something she referred to as "sensory awareness". She said that she experienced many realities that are not available to most people.

A collection of previously unknown writings by Grant was published as Speaking from the Heart: Ethics, Reincarnation & What it Means to Be Human in 2007 by Overlook Press in the United States and Duckworth Press in the UK. It was edited by her granddaughter Nicola Bennett, with anthologist Jane Lahr and Joan's closest friend Sophia Rosoff. The book contains poetry, essays and a series of lectures she gave at Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment in Virginia Beach. She had a reputation for talking and writing with clear certainty about her belief in other realities, past lives, and death. She said that for her, the veil between the "worlds" simply did not exist.

With her third husband, Denys Kelsey, she wrote Many Lifetimes, in which she explained how she supposedly remembered her own and others' past lives. A description of their inept and cranky attempts to treat the writer Heathcote Williams appears in the memoir Featherhood by Charlie Gilmour.

She also wrote several children's books which contain stories she claimed she was told in past lives. Some of her books were published under the names Joan M. Grant and Joan Marshall Grant.

Her books have been translated and published in many languages.
