Happy new year all!
- The Death of an Occult Bromance: Mr. Kelley Goes to Walton Ledale – crosses my desk just as I’m editing my necromancy scene. Though Dee and Kelley didn’t split over the incident in Walton le Dale (it happened before they met, if it happened at all), EsoterX rightly points out that partnerships based on secrecy and spiritual risk tend to magnify personal and philosophical differences.
- The Science of Life and Death in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein – the nineteenth century science and beliefs that informed Mary Shelley’s gothic classic.
- Crowley’s Children – Aleister Crowley’s influence on rock and roll and rock and rollers. Some genuinely embraced his beliefs; others just thought “do as thou wilt” sounded cool. Relevant this week as the author lists David Bowie (RIP) as a fan.
- Researchers to build massive ice bridge from Da Vinci’s 1502 design – based on a centuries-old illustration, the builders will reinforce the ice bridge with very modern paper fiber.
