Up on the Bridge- May 26th, 2026

The caul at the water’s edge is more or less alike to a bridge for the soul who is placed upon and waiting, just before their leap into life.

Worldly incarnation sports spurious arrangements … “meet me at the bridge” one soul makes promise to another looking out at the vista of consequence and habitat.

The life which is yet to be can only perceive key glimpses of the prelude - the details which fill the ledger become exquisitely timed - nuanced and satisfied - the gentle moments within the perpetual calendar.

Life lives and expands within these subtle spaces.

The holy breath seeks a quiet appreciation: the pause, bespoke to the moments before and after.

And what of consciousness? Is it a tedium or donkey-wise to the mundane? Or, collectively skilled with a magnetic pull to ideas that are grand and large, cosmically, economically, and delicately profound? A loadstone of complexity, with an eager soul who delights with each uprising of curiosity, and although fathoms but a fraction, sits upon a bridge that is knowing.

The Trials of Mary- 15th May 2026

John Roddam Spencer Stanhope

The feminine ingenue is no mere role or archetype. There has been a considerable targeted intentional effort to degrade and denounce the spiritual feminine - assaults, contortions, denigrations of this principle are neither tedious or whimsical … nor benign - but sinister in ways unimaginable.

The ‘mother’ principle underlies all of Creation both literally and spiritually. The force that is motherhood is at the very apex of all that is good and great and redeeming within our very souls.

This force majeure extends beyond Humanity to the caretakers within the elemental fields, the beloved species throughout, the plant kingdom with the sophisticate conduct of the trees, and even to the consciousness of crystalline rocks: the mothering principle works as a pulse, and, a holy spirit driving forth sacrificing self, beneficently, caring for the lesser, the young, the needy, the infirm, making way for new life, making strong.

The mothering principle works through both men and women - yet is replete in pure form in the feminine.

Not by subjugation and never by slavery - only through willingness, kindness, community - giving with a whole heart, with a gentle strength that rests in God.

When the Devil himself derides the feminine and speaks the jargon of stereotypes, he asks you to betray your own soul - for it is the most feminine of all.

The true glamour is in the goodness, the loveliness is reflective of the sweet spirit within. It is to no wonder that the Devil despises the feminine!

The Hand of God -7th May 2026

Louis Janmot

Great men with great souls embody a collective of lesser ones - as satellites of euphorious splendour, juggernauts of inspirational endeavour, who with tumbleweed fashion collect as they go, being a nucleus and a gravity to those lesser of souls.

And thus inspired, these pupils remain so attached to their beloved inspiritors - they who hold magnetic sway and providence - who by sincere effort and spiritual achievement have carried the others throughout dark times and solemn interludes.

It is with great gratitude we acknowledge those great men who thusly are caretakers and the best of friends to our simple selves - true fathers to the many, endowed with a strength of striving, enabled by wisdom, firm in themselves.

Yes, we cleave to such - and if this be but one discretion, it is this.

For the orderly progression rests on such charity as known firstly from our Father, and then secured in our Christ to whom we cleave, to the great charity that is Him, and His accompanying cohort of Angels … and the charity of great men who are good men, faithful to all the above.

Like becomes like, and knows the other amidst all conditions … goodness will find you, Grace shall infill you, love will divine you, amidst the comedy of Man.

Foods & Cooking - 25th April 2026

No species other than human beings cook their food. Some creatures, insects and plants store their foods in complex systems, but none diversify with ingredients, mixes and heat, combining and creating meals of both necessity and banquet.

Recipes and the art of cooking belongs to the human being - and there becomes a great deal of time and effort dedicated to meals throughout the day, and within any culture is affectionately performed.

Furthermore to this the epicurean migrated from flavour to fetish; whilst generally nation after nation developed familiar signature foods that would be passed on generationally.

The meals themselves were designed around available produce and the nature of the country as well as the nature of its peoples.

The dynamic of community foods fed the psyche, their identity, and later the ‘body corporate’ metabolism - i.e. meals shared commonly, routinely, were anticipated physiologically, nutritionally - for over time the physical had adapted to a set of combinations with few variations, and when using these along with sunshine and water, the foods themselves became medicinally and nutritionally adequate for their people's strength and health.

Complex foods and international variety brought with them a dietary cacophony into the culinary world. The animal self of the human being - the physical body - became as confused and sickly as if one were to begin feeding a horse macaroni cheese and chicken. Within just two generations the menus throughout the Western world departed their identities almost completely.

Yes, certain insects and dogs can feed off practically anything that is decaying, however cooked (and later processed ingredients) are semi-digested, inert of vitality, thereby making a fish into a chicken, departing from the first nature and so forth into unlikely natures.

The Ancients’ recipes were very different to those today - energetically they were enhanced by the herbs and the sugars and the warmth and their combining.

Each bread became a celebration of the harvest, and a birth of a being into the world. Bread was the first noble construct and the very first recipe if you will, of combining and creation, and a mediator across all peoples, that is digested and understood well and with wellbeing.
