I've just been listening to one of Jason Preston's interviews with satanic ritual abuse victims, which was released on June 17. Here is Jason in the very first frame of the video:

And here are some images I posted on the same day, June 17, in "White under the Red":

I dreamt that we were preparing for a ritual in which we would symbolically burn (in effigy) the person who had burned Abinadi. In the Book of Mormon, of course, that person was King Noah, or someone acting under Noah's direction, but we never said that name. Instead, "the person who had burned Abinadi" was someone ...

This afternoon, I bought a new pair of leather shoes and, while I was removing the branding from them with a craft knife, I was listening to an audio recording of the Doctrine and Covenants. When I'd finished, I put the shoes on for the first time -- and as it happened, this action synchronized perfectly with the ...

It's a great plan!

Let's spend ever more and yet more time/ energy/ resources on locating the sins of other-people, and then loudly and emphatically stating that these other-people were sinful!

It will make us all better people, and make this a better world - for sure.

Especially when these people lived ...

This morning I was in a cafe reading Stories from the Messengers, Mike Clelland's second book about owls, UFOs, and synchronicity. I read this:

A white owl glided gracefully into their headlight beams and flew right in front of their car, just a few feet off the road. They both got the sense that it was guiding them ...

Reading Laeth's latest aphorisms, he reminded me of a 2019 post from Wm Jas Tychonievich about whether or not the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith was, in principle, correct to posit an actual planet (assumed to be orbiting a star that Mormons term Kolob) as the place of God's (usual) residence; thus the physical, material ...

I have often heard it emphasised by Christians how remarkable, how shocking, it was that God was incarnated as a little baby, lived, suffered and died an ignominious and agonising death.

But is it really so shocking? All of these are familiar possibilities for a being that is an 'avatar' of a God - a spirit part of ...

for most of human history literacy was a privilege of a few. maybe to believe it can ever be otherwise is foolish. still, the attempt to educate broadly is commendable, and probably good for the soul of a nation, civilization to attempt it.

In Red Tree, White Tree, Wendy Berg maintains that Humans have red blood, Faeries have white blood, and Jesus had both.

The Bible makes reference to two streams of blood issuing from Christ's side: "But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came thereout blood and water. And he that saw it ...

A central theme of Red Tree, White Tree by Wendy Berg is that the color red represents the Human race, while white represents the Elven or Faery race. As noted in my June 13 post "Themes of interest in Red Tree, White Tree," the book also references "the idea of Elf-like beings putting on coats of skins to become ...

My last post, "A severed head underwater," documented a sync between an Arthurian legend I had just read about, in which a severed head is dropped down a well, and a similar scene I had recently read in a just-published Portuguese novel.

This evening I was poking around a bit on Mormon YouTube and ran across this ...

I like the stag-antler-crucifix symbolism because it includes the notion of actively pursuing something/following something to where you need to go, coupled with the reality that, ultimately, Christ is the "where" that you "need to go."

The above is an old comment I left on a From the Narrow Desert post in which ...

In a couple of months my new book A Survival Guide to the End Times will be published and I am reminded that I should promote and publicise it. For someone like me that's the least pleasant part of bringing a book to life, but obviously I understand the need for it.

However, for now there's an earlier book I would ...

I just read in Wendy Berg's Red Tree, White Tree an old Arthurian legend about a man who, having dishonored a woman, is killed and his severed head dropped into a well.

The book I read immediately before this one was entirely different in character: Laeth's Powerless, a realistic novel set in Portugal in 2025. But, ...

I've started reading Wendy Berg's Red Tree, White Tree, a book Bruce mentioned a while back, understanding it that it would be primarily a reinterpretation of the Matter of Britain based on the assumption that Guinevere and many of the other characters are Faery rather than Human.

I'm only about a third of the way ...

there is a positive intuition buried underneath the unhealthy obsession with sex both from secular people and culture, as well as from christian people and doctrine. it’s a recognition that marriage is foundational, that the relation between man and woman is the building block of everything, and other aspects of ...

I thought I had posted about this before, but a search for rill comes up empty, so here it is again. This is an anonymous poem that was anthologized in one of the McGuffey Eclectic Readers:

I imagine most people are familiar with Caravaggio's Head of Medusa (1597), which I was fortunate enough to view in person on a recent trip to Florence.

Serving as the grisly emblem of a ceremonial shield, Caravaggio depicts Medusa's severed head in the way most people might imagine it -- the wide-open eyes and mouth ...

I had an extremely detailed dream of which I can unfortunately only remember the general idea. I was looking through a coffee-table book about an imagined civilization whose exact name I can't remember, but it was a four-syllable name beginning with A- and ending in -onhi, and I thought it was clearly intended to ...

Following links from old posts I had linked in my last post, "A white hart and a portal to a parallel world," led me to these two quotes (from this post and this video, respectively), each attributed to someone who comments here:

This afternoon, I read this in Wendy Berg's Red Tree, White Tree, just one page after a statement that the race of Faerie "now exists in parallel with, but mostly invisible to, the human race."

The appearance of a white hart, or a black dog, or a raven, will often indicate the opening of the ways between the human ...

​I posit that freedom must be uncreated to be authentic.

Uncreated signifies not divine in origin, meaning it does not emanate from God. Since God is not the source of freedom, he cannot create freedom “into” us or any other Being in Creation.

Declaring freedom to be a timeless and uncreated ...

Eternal is a difficult, ambiguous word.

In the past, I used it to describe Beings, which I assume have no beginning and no end.

Unfortunately, this led some to believe that such Beings must also exist entirely outside time. Or that they never change.

However, I regard time as a necessary aspect of Beings and cannot ...

Although I do not agree with everything Berdyaev assumes, I admire him for understanding that freedom could only be truly free if it were placed outside of God, which he accomplished by arguing for the existence of the Ungrund, a reworking of Böhme’s primordial abyss that Berdyaev defines as pure meonic ...

​The matter of freedom is important to me because it is through freedom that we discern the nature of God.

It is through freedom that we apprehend God either as a loving father or as an absolute, autocratic ruler or a completed, static entity.

What we assume about freedom determines what we assume about God. ...

Today's Northumbrian Church Project visit was St Andrew's Bolam; which is magicfully atmospheric.

It includes a Saxon tower, mostly Norman-style otherwise (round arches), with some rebuilding (pointed arches) done in the 1200s, and some more later.

The church is located in a gorgeous and ...

A good indication that this is a fallen world is the existence of insects that feed on human and animal blood. I would speculate that when God created the various forms of life it was a law that each group maintained itself by feeding on lower forms. Thus, plants absorb nutrients from the soil in which they grow, ...

I have previously made an analogy between our situation in this mortal life in relation to Heaven, and that of a student at Medical School training to be a doctor.

Mortal Life = Medical School; Heaven = Being a doctor.

I have found this analogy helpful in trying to articulate the difference to this mortal life ...
