Wanderings in the Labyrinth. Andrew B. Watt's blog. Sun and Moon Sonnets. The Acts of King Arthur. The Tai Chi Poem and Drawings. A Maker’s Grimoire. Tai Chi Y4D61: Six Years. No, I’ve not been doing tai chi for six years. It was six years ago yesterday that I began blogging on WordPress. The archives go back to 2002. Though, because I imported my journal archive from LiveJournal. I would have done DiaryLand too, but that archive had been archived, and then deleted, by the time I started here. I'm availa...

The Well of Galabes: The Sources of Magical Power, Part One: Antiquity through the Renaissance
http://galabes.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-sources-of-magical-power-part-one.html
The Well of Galabes. Reflections on Druidry, Magic, and Occult Philosophy. Saturday, March 21, 2015. The Sources of Magical Power, Part One: Antiquity through the Renaissance. There were quite a few of these occult detective stories. Algernon Blackwood wrote some fine atmospheric stories about his “psychic doctor,” Dr. John Silence. Seabury Quinn, who had the perfect Weird Tales. Were decidedly second-rate by comparison. Was an occultist—a full member of the Theosophical Society at a time when that...

The Well of Galabes: July 2015
http://galabes.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
The Well of Galabes. Reflections on Druidry, Magic, and Occult Philosophy. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Sex and Occultism, Part One: Mrs. Grundy and the Great God Pan. I noted in a post earlier this year. This somewhat idiosyncratic response to the Cthulhu mythos, the fictive pantheon of eldritch terrors concocted by Lovecraft and several of his friends and fellow Weird Tales. All those lurid claims of blood sacrifice, sexual depravities, conspiracies to destroy the world? Sent me back to the stories of Lovec...

The Archdruid Report: The Twilight of the Machine
http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com/2010/04/twilight-of-machine.html
Druid perspectives on nature, culture, and the future of industrial society. Wednesday, April 07, 2010. The Twilight of the Machine. The end of the age of cheap abundant energy, as last week’s Archdruid Report. The replacement of labor with mechanical energy has even come to play a potent role in the popular imagination. From the machine-assisted living of The Jetsons. To the darker image of reality itself as a machine-created illusion in The Matrix. Finally, what happens if the economy changes so that t...

The Well of Galabes: April 2015
http://galabes.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
The Well of Galabes. Reflections on Druidry, Magic, and Occult Philosophy. Monday, April 20, 2015. The Sources of Magical Power, Part Two. In the Middle Ages, scholars talked knowledgeably about goetia. Which were the respective Latin terms for these two approaches. You’ll find the same distinction in modern scholarly writings such as D.P. Walker’s Spiritual and Demonic Magic from Ficino to Campanella. Meaning our old friend the Astral Light, and daemon. Vi, as we might as well call him, was a remarkable...

The Well of Galabes: May 2015
http://galabes.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
The Well of Galabes. Reflections on Druidry, Magic, and Occult Philosophy. Friday, May 22, 2015. Conjuring in the House of Mirrors. So far, so good—but what exactly is this Tradition? Read Evola’s Revolt Against the Modern World. In his brilliant little philosophical handbook A Guide for the Perplexed. 8221; The divergent problem asks, “what should I do about it? 8221;—and for that latter question there’s no one answer that applies in all cases and to all those who ask it. If you start instead from the p...

The Archdruid Report: A Deindustrial Reading List
http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com/2009/02/deindustrial-reading-list.html
Druid perspectives on nature, culture, and the future of industrial society. Wednesday, February 04, 2009. A Deindustrial Reading List. Thus anything that tends to encourage people in the peak oil movement, or the wider society around it, to think about the future in any stereotyped way is potentially fatal. Still, several readers have noted that the ideas in The Long Descent. With those caveats, here goes. The following books should be read, if you can manage that, in the order I've listed them. Was the...
