Gallimaufry with Atoms
Just some links while I am busy on two editing projects and a proposal...
¶ Aleister Crowley's legacy still poses problems for occultists -- especially when they take Internet "life" as equivalent to a "scene."
¶ Lonnie muses about animism and consciousness.
¶ A British celebrity chef recommends henbane in salads. Much concern ensues. The ethnobotanist Christian Rätsch has a recipe for henbane beer, which he says is excellent. (His personal site, in German, is here.)
¶ Peter Bishop has been reading the book of Genesis. It's fun to watch the reaction of an intelligent, non-Christian reader, "letting it speak for itself, instead of viewing it through the lens of later writings." I love the idea of Yahweh as a sort of venture capitalist investing in Abram and Sarah.

Hi,
I'm not talking about the internet occult scene. I'm talking the occult culture in general.
Taylor,
Correction noted. Nothing ever changes, really.
Hi Chas,
