They’ve been within orb since late April and Mars joins the party in July so we can expect a lot more volatility and churn. The disruption has been ongoing for… Continue reading Uranus and Mars conjunct North Node

Last time we looked at Thomas Mann’s Doctor Faustus and the destruction that ripped through Europe in the 1940s.

The spiritual sickness is still with… Continue reading Exploring Faust in the 21st Century

The world has changed a lot since it was written and we can now see where that obsession has brought… Continue reading Exploring Faust: Thomas Mann and the End of the West

Following my review of the Changing of the Gods series and its call for a new cosmology that better explains our reality, I returned to my bookshelves to find clues to the roots of the problem. The ‘West’ appears to be going insane. How did we get so unmoored from reality and where do our… Continue reading Notes on Apocalypse: The Cry for Myth
