Dion Fortune's Magical Battle of Britain Glastonbury lecture

I am presenting a lecture on the afternoon of Sunday May 30th in the Assembly Rooms, Glastonbury High St from 3.45 to 4.45.

It's part of a Mystic & Earth Spirit Fayre event running over the whole weekend.

Entry to main building with stalls etc £1. Talks £5 daily or £13.50 weekend inclusive of entry.

As well as the material covered in Gareth Knight's collection of Dion Fortune's war-time letters, I will also feature Himmler's Grail castle at Wewelsburg and modern revivals of the Glastonbury workings.

Thought for the day in the UK

Wilhelm Reich once said that the fact that Hitler was a political genius says more about the true nature of politics than any other single fact can.

Avalonian Aeon

Coming soon.

The Holy Light

‘Once, the world was not as it has since become. It once worked in a different way than it does now; it had a different history and a different future. Its very flesh and bones, the physical laws that governed it, were other than the ones we know.
Whenever the world turns from what it has been into what it will be, and thus earns a different past and a different future, there is a brief moment when every possible kind of universe, all possible extensions of Being in space and time, are poised on the threshold of becoming, before all but one pass into nonexistence again; and the world is as it is and not as it was, and everyone in it forgets that it could ever be or has ever been other than the way it is now.
And just as the world is thus turning from the what-has-been into the what-is-to-be, and all possibilities are just for a moment alight and one has not yet been chosen, then all the other similar disjunctures in time (for there have been several) can become visible too.’
‘I discern the shadow of another story and another world, symmetrical to it, and yet as different from it as dream is from waking.’

Aegypt. John Crowley.
