Themiton, St. Ives, and Devilling Defined

So what's a "themiton?" Who is St. Ives? And what is all this devil-business?

You've seen pictures or statues of "Justice" - often represented as a blindfolded woman with scales and perhaps a sword. This same representation is that given to the Greek goddess Themis. A themiton is a body of law handed down, typically straight from the gods. Sometimes Themis is pictured with a themiton - some tome of law - sometimes, even the decalogue.

St. Ives, or St. Yvos, is the patron saint of lawyers.

"Devilling" is the practice of learning legal advocacy back in Britain. "Devils" are law-students who learn from "devil-masters."

At any rate, perhaps the juxtaposition of pagan, Christian, and archane references in the web address and page title makes more sense now.
