When I was in school in the late 1960s I came across Worlds In Collision by Immanuel Velikovsky. I was totally hooked! Born in Russia in 1895, he published a number of books which rocked the scientific world from 1950 onwards, eventually settling in Princeton, NJ, where he died in 1979. If he had been […]
For those who found A Bohemian Ghost (Part 1) interesting, here is the conclusion, which is included in the 1893 book by Papus entitled “An Elementary Treatise on Practical Magic”, in a section about the use of the magical sword: The fluid accumulations formed by the union of astral powers acting like a soul […]

For a fleeting moment of fame it was listed on the […]
On Saturday I finally had an opportunity to visit the magnificent Salon de la Rose Croix exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum with a few like-minded friends. I was lucky, too, as the day was offering free entrance to those who could produce a Bank of America card! The Guggenheim is a very approachable Museum of […]
I know I haven’t posted since I returned from Australia, but I can assure you it wasn’t because I was in the doldrums following a wonderful vacation. Far from it!
