Beyond the Visible

I’ve Been Chasing Belonging My Whole Life

As a kid, I moved around a lot, between countries, cultures, and schools. Each time, I had to adapt fast. Learn the customs. Pick up the accent. Figure out how things worked so I could fit in before that familiar “outsider” feeling took over…

A Day In My Life

I am a general contractor by trade. I was fortunate to get my start in the business when there were still building/remodeling companies that had hands-on employees, older men who knew every aspect, or many aspects of residential construction. I learned from men who took pride in learning as many aspects of residential building/remodeling as possible, do…

The Cosmic Mirror

A Raw Spark Strips You Bare

In alchemy, albedo is one of the four major stages of the magnum opus, following nigredo and before citrinitas and rubedo. It is a Latinized term meaning “whiteness.” Following the chaos or massa confusa of the nigredo stage, the alchemist undertakes a purification in albedo, which is literally referred to as ablutio – the washing away of impurities. In…

The Cosmic Mirror

A Whisper Beyond The Veil

A shimmer ripples across Neptunus/ Neptune, stirring the air with an indescribable sensation. It is a gentle whisper, a beckoning from beyond this realm. The message is clear: divinity, mysticism, and the quest for knowledge. You find yourself awake now, the seeker within you alive, as doorways to new dimensions creak open. Something greater than yourse…

Secrets of the Flame

A deep connection exists between a gentleman and a mermaid, each hailing from a different world yet finding a way to coexist harmoniously. Their love surpasses all boundaries, rooted in mutual respect and a distinctive ability to lift each other. The cards on either side illustrate their journeys, while the row at the bottom reveals the larger narrative…

The Library of Celaeno

The Girl Who Went Home to Nebraska

Christopher Brunet is not without controversy, and his latest work, a 30,000+ word exposé on Nick Fuentes and his America First Movement- better known as Groypers- represents a bold and well-researched attack on a personality and phenomenon that are a fixture in the wider right. Make what you will of Brunet’s beef with the Manhattan Institute, or his criticism of Trump …

That Last King Arthur Movie is Better Than You Think

[This article is meant as a companion piece to one posted yesterday by The Brothers Krynn about Merlin. We all hope to get a conversation started about the interpretation of myths, legends, and history and the artistic risks and vision needed to bring them to life properly, over and against the slop versions Hollywood would force feed us. Here I make a pitch for a movi…

Thanks for including me even once.... but man three essays of mine!? Holy cow, you're spoiling me Demi! Now I'm blushing and ducking my head in embarrassment!

I must confess that I'm most overjoyed that you read the Merlin essay I joined together with Celaeno to put together.

Always happy to make your lists, I've gotta find some way to thank you someday Demi! You're just too kind to the rest of us on Substack! Oh and also happy Charlotte made the list, she's the coolest (and in my top 5 favourite substacks!).
