What are your plans for the spring equinox?
Re: What are your plans for the spring equinox?
Well, it's been a lovely day, and has definitely felt like the first day of spring. I went down to the bog, as planned, and spent some time sitting in what I think of as a ruined Greek temple, but is, in fact, the remains of a Victorian greenhouse, now reclaimed by the forest. I also left a small offering of food and drink at the nearby pool. After this I wandered around a bit, before coming home.

Sounds lovely Maia.

Cottage cheese, an apple and some plums. Lemon squash to drink. I think it would be difficult to keep Champagne chilled, and I didn't really fancy lugging an ice bucket aroundattofishpi wrote: ↑Thu Mar 20, 2025 8:36 pm Sounds lovely Maia.

I still consider myself a punk. I don't see me becoming a Pagan anytime soon!

Keep these two songs on you when you go to those pagan things and the hippies won't come around you.

Re: What are your plans for the spring equinox?
The only ones worse than hippies, for patchouli, are goths. Sometimes I think they bathe in the stuff. I went through my own, mercifully brief, goth phase, when I was 18. Without the patchouli.

Re: What are your plans for the spring equinox?
I sort of did go goth, my girlfriend was full blown at times, would put purple lipstick on etc and we would go to a goth nightclub called The Proscenium. Awesome music, never any trouble and they always let me in for free. The owner Enzo was an oldish fella, a lawyer I think and rumoured to be into some weird stuff, probably weirder than what the Pagans get up to
He gave me a copy of his book (just checked my bookcase - The Poussin Enigma - Enzo Fardone) yes, based on the French artist. It made me laugh one evening when he was on the news because he was taking whoever published Dan Browns book The Davinci Code - or maybe Dan Brown himself for plagiarism, apparently he had submitted his book to the publisher earlier and there are similarities.
Actually I did read the Davinci Code and really enjoyed it - I know many scoff at it, but it was good read for me. I didn't read The Poussin Enigma! I read the first few pages and realised it was rather poorly written. And for any that scoff at the start of my book Alpha Two, a friend of mine that reads EVERYTHING, read both his book and mine and made a point that mine was far more skilfully crafted. In fact, the only person that has criticised the opening pages was promethean (tit). The professional editor that went over my book wasn't particularly familiar with the cyberpunk genre, so I lent her a copy of William Gibson's Neuromancer. She preferred the characters and story of my book! So f'k u prom!!

Neuromancer is a really difficult read - borderline poetic and very abstract at times. I found i'd have to re-read a passage rather often. Belinda put me on to Dickens' Great Expectations this morning. Loving it so far, and far easier to read than Neuromancer. I go on about Neuromancer because the author Gibson is the holy man that cyberpunks consider the messiah of cyberpunk! Johnny Mnemonic another classic by Gibson, turned into a film that Keanu Reeves played the protagonist Johnny. There have been some attempts to turn Neuromancer into a film, but I don't think anyone can ever admit to understanding the entire story!
I digress, oh yes stinky hippies...ewe..
