A very, very long journey, but we brought it home. A beautiful result. The paperbacks are particularly elegant; inspect them in Cecil Court, next time you are by.

Polia and her suh-suh-summertime sadness.

Se riza el aire gris.

Guadalquivir
whose beard flows with garnets
Granada’s two rivers
tears and blood.

Cross out '-ic', write in '-ed'.

Noice.

Read the history of historic spiritual awakening in the light of 'Nah - What you going to fucking do about it?'. And then we naturally come to the overturning of tables.

Which is why the most powerful impulse you can feel and express is 'Nah'. There is nothing anyone can do about it. Not even the angels can make way against it. Simplest sentiment in the world, and it invites contemplation of its corollary, 'What you going to fucking do about it?'

The New Age and esotericism has always leaned towards the fascistic, because it itself was a componant of fascism. The Valentinian division of us all into the pneumatic, psychic or hylic sets us up to be dominated, which is why it exerts its fascination for people who think they are special.

On the bright side, we can now apply ourselves to spreading Spanish Anarchism across the Cosmos. I don't know what 'We are not at all afraid of ruins' is in the speech of the Pleiades. But I am on to find out.

Ross Coulthart talking about his experience at Esalen . . . thing that came across, for me at least, is the stress on the elite, the 'net worth' of attendees, the 'beautiful' people in the spa waters, the brilliance of minds.

No gods, no priests, no masters, Ross. Also, watch 'Nope'.

Translation of Lorca's 1929 Surrealist screenplay, 'A Journey to the Moon'.

Very much a work in progress, but I think I've more or less conveyed the mood.

there will be shoulders pressing in the hall

Staring the New Year as I wish to continue, here's my translation of Lorca's famous lecture, 'Juego y Teoria del Duende'.

Xmas reading. 'Boys in Zinc' and 'Chernobyl Prayer' to follow.

In the Soviet Union, the boughs of holly deck you.

Lorca as 'the Shadow' during a performance of Calderón's 'La vida es sueño' (1932).

¿Qué es la vida? Un frenesí.
¿Qué es la vida? Una ilusión,
una sombra, una ficción,
y el mayor bien es pequeño.
¡Que toda la vida es sueño,
y los sueños, sueños son!

But swift Thetis' son
overtook him in his flight
and punched him in the dick
bro, punched him hard in the dick
and Darkness closed his eyes.

More Borges and Lorca this weekend.

The cat's name is Beppo.

Had to look up what 'the pip' was. Urban Dictionary outlined the terrifying possibilities.

And that's a hill I'll die on.

This somehow passed me by. Inspired by John Harries and his chained book of charms.

Including his redaction of the 'Ars Theurgia' alongside Peter Smart's in the forthcoming second volume of the 'Lesser Key', with fresh translations from Trithemius.

Our global anthem. Values we can all get behind during this time of crisis.

Also, I am still trying to find a girl who understands me. But except in dreams you're never really free.
