For any who marked it, I hope your Thanksgiving was joyful, filling, and full of gratitude.
On Sparkly Vampires and PNW Werewolves: So far, my most direct exposure to the whole sparkly vampire franchise was attending a "Master Pancake Theater" session at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin. Master Pancake Theater is like "Mystery Science Theater 3000," but performed live by a trio of comedians with microphones in a theater. My wife and I went to a showing of the second Twilight movie with some friends that were visiting from out of town. It was super funny, and is the sole reason I don't have an entirely negative view of the franchise.
To Ask: Do you believe the writings of Giaocchino de Prati, the "alpine philosopher," described on pgs 27-28 in The Secret of the Five Rites to be the likely source for the teachings about the Solar and Telluric currents in DH/DMH/DA-flavored Druidry? If so, do you know more about the path of adoption/diffusion? And if not, do you know how they both ended up at such a similar place?
As always, thanks very much to JMG and everyone else here for all that you do.
