Astrology of Now: Soul Theft

by  • 

You are familiar with the story of Sleeping Beauty, so familiar that the horror of it has ceased to horrify. This is the story of a baby, born perfect, sentenced to death. She is cursed in the cradle by a vengeful fairy to die at 16. Only by the actions of a good fairy is her death sentence mitigated to a sleep of 100 years. You may feel as if your life stopped at a particular moment. It’s as if part, or all, of you was lost; it may even have been sent into a stony sleep. The cause might be an accident, […]

The Thunder, Perfect Mind

by  • 

“….I am the incomprehensible silence and the much-remembered thought. I am the voice of many sounds and the utterance of many forms. I am the utterance of my name. Why, you who hate me, do you love me And hate those who love me? You who deny me, confess me, And you who confess me, deny me. You who speak the truth about me, tell lies about me, And you who have told lies about me, speak the truth about me. You who know me, become ignorant of me; and may those who have been ignorant of me, come to […]

The White Masks Of Ebola

by  • 

Someone asked last week when the white-masked people were coming to fight the black-masked Islamic State killers. Maybe the answer is, they are already here; but they’re busy. Healthworkers tackling the Ebola outbreak are sheathed in plastic. The white hoods and masks they wear do make them look like aliens. No wonder West Africans were at first suspicious. The battle against the virus is clearcut in one way: it’s humans vs. disease. But in another it’s a battle without boundaries. There is no cure as yet and Ebola crosses borders and travels along flightpaths invisibly. What might you look for astrologically? This is a story […]

Brian Eno’s Creative Drive: Randomness and Order

by  • 

  Since his first work as a feather-clad glam-rocker in the art-school band Roxy Music in the early 1970s to his latest incarnation as producer of extraordinary “generative” music apps, Eno has been a dynamo of ideas, energy and experiment. He is incredibly prolific. If you look at his discography, it seems as if he must have been working continuously since 1970, as producer, composer and performer (although seldom outside the studio). A pioneer of electronic music, he proved that you didn’t have to be a “musician” to make music. Years ago, Eno tried to get the job title “non-musician” put […]

The Woman in Black – A Lilith Story

by  • 

I saw a news item today that shrieked of Black Moon Lilith to me. In fact, I’ve been sensing her strongly recently. Perhaps it’s because she’s in Leo and therefore endlessly ghosting across my Ascendant, back and forth she flies&#8230…

"Self, or the last illusion" (video w music)

by  • 

Self, or the last illusion is a film by a man who tells us ‘what we are not’.

I found this film to be a knock-out though some of its images (illusions themselves) botherate me since I don’t cotton overmuch to images of skulls or sinews or the like. Robotics can be marvelled at but that’s about the extent of my viewing of them. Futurism is fine but there are standards.

Anyway, the topic of
