The picture? I'm working my way through photos of my lineage, focusing on the teachers whose work has influenced me and the teachers who influenced them in turn. Two weeks ago I started on the OBOD end of my lineage with past Chosen Chief Philip Carr-Gomm. During the time of his teacher, last week's honoree Ross Nichols, the remarkable Vera Chapman, shown here, was the Pendragon of the order. Chapman was one of the first women admitted into Oxford University -- the two big British universities kept women out until well into the 20th century -- and in her pre-Druid days was an influential member of the Kindred of the Kibbo Kift, the most interesting offshoot of the Woodcraft back-to-nature movement, which we'll talk about a little more next week. (That's the Kibbo Kift seal below on the right.) Later still, during her Druidical years, she also helped found the Tolkien Society and was an influential figure in Tolkien fandom until her death.

Ko-Fi
I've had several people ask about tipping me for answers here, and though I certainly don't require that I won't turn it down. You can use either of the links above to access my online tip jar; Buymeacoffee is good for small tips, Ko-Fi is better for larger ones. (I used to use PayPal but they developed an allergy to free speech, so I've developed an allergy to them.) If you're interested in political and economic astrology, or simply prefer to use a subscription service to support your favorite authors, you can find my Patreon page here and my SubscribeStar page here.

Adding a working for clarity of perception in the world to the SOP
Date: 2023-05-08 04:47 am (UTC)Seeing the various illusions at play in the world now I'm contemplating adding something to my nightly SOP to invoke clarity of sight and perception, both inner and outer, for myself and the world.
1 Would there be any ethical issues with this as I can't get consent from everyone in the world?
2 Would you have any comment's or cautions regarding this plan?
I also wonder if this would be something that other's on here may wish to take up. A certain magical virtue comes to mind so I shall say no more and go read my DMH to work out the precise details.
Thanks
