My previous post on Patreon, proposing a journal to be called Mythopoiesis, was putting the cart before the horse. I was thinking about a book club, then thought it should have a monthly newsletter, then thought I could put my poems in it, then thought I could put subscribers’ poems in it, then thought we [Read More…]

From the Diary of St. Allogenes
April 12, 2015 by 3 Comments
Before anything came into being, the Mother alone existed, before the worlds in the heavens appeared, or the world that is the earth, or principality, or authority, or the powers. She brought forth everything, like a little child, like a drop from a spring, like a blossom from a vine, like a flower, like a plant in need of nourishment and growth and faultlessness. [Read more…]
The Second Letter of Diana
April 1, 2015 by 6 Comments
This is a discrete unit from my ongoing Books of the Sacred Marriage. Should I post it at all? The universal plague we face cannot be combatted by politeness. As I have said, Witchcraft is, and must inherently be, an In Your Face religion. I know, of course, there will be many who, out of [Read More…]
My Gnostic, Heretical Books Are Available on Amazon
March 25, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Being far more focused on completing the five (at least) current books I am working on, I rarely think about the boring mundane tasks of marketing and promotion, but since I have not recently put up even an announcement about my books, it has occurred to me that it might be salutary to does so, [Read More…]
The Hymn of the Eternal Marriage
March 21, 2015 by 1 Comment
I enjoy finding fragments of lost treasures and piecing them together to see what they might have been like. This is a hypothetical reconstruction of a Gnostic myth. It find it aesthetically pleasing that I could assemble it entirely of passages from the Gnostic sources. I’m presenting it not as what I believe in any [Read More…]
Trekking Toward Nineveh, Mile One
January 25, 2015 by 2 Comments
I have finally, step by step, been forced to realize what I must do. Since I am 74, I must do it now. I have been thinking and learning about our universal madness for 60 years. How much time have I left to describe what might begin to combat it? I am not overjoyed at [Read More…]
Prologue to a Story of Jesus and Mary
December 30, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Two beats of God’s heart ago, two thousand years as we feel time, the Awakened wrote myths, using the best science of their time, each hoping to Awaken at least another. I was Awakened sixty years ago. I can write a myth and hope to do as much, using the science we have now, knowing [Read More…]
Pagans and Christians and Mark, Part I
April 20, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Some people ask whether one can be both Pagan and Christian. If you think of Jesus as the Lord of Glory living somewhere up in Heaven who has a rule against belonging to any other faith, and if you define “Pagan” as meaning merely “non-Christian,” then, no, they could not overlap. However, there are Christopagans who manage it, by not defining the terms as being mutually exclusive. The inquiry has to begin with trying to understand Jesus the Nazarene—Rabbi Yeshua ha-Notsri—as an historical human being, and so must begin with the Gospel According to Mark. [Read more…]
Interpreting the “Gospel of Jesus’s Wife”
April 12, 2014 by 1 Comment
There have been many news stories reporting that the “Gospel of Jesus’s Wife” is as old as the other Coptic documents published as the Nag Hammadi Library in English. It now can be taken seriously as an historical document. The only new element in it is the words “Jesus said to them, ‘My wife . . . ‘” This concept is, of course, shocking to people who have never read anything but the four canonical gospels. [Read more…]
Resist the Koch brothers: Buying Chevron gas and Georgia Pacific paper helps them subvert our democracy.
April 6, 2014 by Leave a Comment
The Koch Brothers and Koch Industries cannot treat American citizens as they do and still expect us to support their products. Please share this message widely. Much of their wealth comes from activities on a level that consumers cannot directly deal with, but if we can begin affecting their bottom line, they might start changing [Read More…]
