Here’s a wee (disclaimer: it’s not at all wee) report from the six and a half weeks.
In short: the second Black Fast has been really incredible. I have been counting the days until I could drink coffee, masala chai and tea again on a daily basis. It is every bit as good as I hoped.
My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it—all idealism is mendacity in the face of what is necessary—but love it. — Nietzsche,‘Why I Am So Clever’, in […]
I probably don’t need a preface for my particular brand of ramblings any more. I offered this to my brother to read and he deemed it: “Exactly the sort of thing you tend to write, but you know, developed a bit.” So I have a signature in my quirky writing it would seem. These things […]
I do not often speak of my magickal practices here. I save that for my private magickal journal and normally see no good reason to publish it openly. However all boundaries blur and on this occasion I have chosen to publish my recent developments here at theMushroom. Partly because it relates to the changing of […]

What can we allow and what must we fight for? When does one absorb the wrath of thy suffering shadow and when does one become a retributive sacred mirror? For Love can be seen as to be cruel, as even in its cruelty it would be kind. Krishna is driving Arjuna’s chariot. A war chariot. […]
The Preamble A wonderful piece of direct action from the Universe herself occurred last week which I feel demands recounting. Having consciously given up most of my possessions fairly recently I have a whole new perspective on sustainability and what I consider to be living ‘well’. The things I have kept are treasures, of great […]
So I have been seriously bad about updating people as to my general comings and goings in Oz-Tralia. I thought it was about time I said something about it at least. I am going to begin by blaming my silence on the totally different quality of time I have found here. Different quality of life […]
