I am proposing to add a new word to the English language… The new word is ‘Tesseracting’; and I want to use it to replace a beautiful word that, in my opinion, has been degraded to a point where its use is compromised – that older word is ‘Ritual’. My interest in the tesseract began as a result of the work of Stuart France (one … Read More Tesseracting

River of the Sun, chapter Twelve – Above and Below Sarkur the Stonemaster lay beneath Egypt’s stars, looking deep into the sky as though reading the story of his own life. As a young child, his mother would walk him to the cliff-edge, where the stars were brightest, and point out the patterns in the sky. For each, she would tell him the tales … Read More River of the Sun, Chapter Twelve – Above and Below

Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 45 – Mortal Combat .Alexandra. I brought the lion scarf-gloves-hat back with me on the next Monday, but tied it up, neatly, in a wide, red, ribbon. I placed it on the table before John arrived. It and his coffee were waiting for him on arrival. He smiled as he sat down and took in the tabletop. “Tied it … Read More Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 45 – Mortal Combat

River of the Sun, Chapter Eleven – Inundation “Vessel of Sekhmet, take our chosen priest-to-be and show him the path of initiation that lies ahead.” Firmly within the power of her magic, Amkhren felt the unspoken command to continue looking at the high priestess. His senses were so heightened that he could feel the approach of the severe Vessel of Sekhmet long before … Read More River of the Sun, Chapter Eleven – Inundation

There is fury in Bakewell Gaol. Outside my cell, doors are being flung open, tables are being thumped and voices are raised in what serves as the interview room. Despite pressing my ear to the shuttered grill, through which Yellow Eyes often studies my incarcerated movements, I can never quite make out the details of the heated conversations. They wouldn’t be that stupid… How … Read More Ben’s Bit, part 10 – Six Faces of Fear

Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 44 – The Enemy Within .Alexandra. I had found the Lion in the window of a charity shop. It was a combination scarf, handbag and, now, hat… “I’m assuming that’s a lion you’re wearing?” asked John, when I sat down with my coffee and two butter knives. “Sorry about that,” I replied. “Best I could do – found it in … Read More Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 44 – The Enemy Within

Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 43 – The Point at the End of the Nose .Alexandra. I had seldom seen him him laugh so much, nor so good-naturedly. The journey to ‘here’ had taken several weeks of thought, and I could – finally – see the care with which he had constructed it. On one level it was infuriating; on another–a much deeper one–I … Read More Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 43 – The Point at the End of the Nose

It was early December, 2015, in southern San Francisco. Bernie and I were on a week’s holiday in the USA. It was not cold, but was raining, which was good news for drought-ravaged California, as the first sustained rainfall for several years streamed from the skies across the state for most of our visit. This very British rain did not dampen our spirits, … Read More An Egregore called Dickens

Christmas and New Year have always been special times for me – Christmas more than the New Year, as I have always come to view the Winter Solstice as the start of the the truly new, rather than the formal ending of the calendar’s twelve months. The solstice sees the nadir of the visible light, as the solar ‘victory’ changes the face of the year … Read More 2015: Looking back from December…

River of the Sun, Chapter Ten – Darkness at the Door Rameses waited for a moment on the quayside, listening to the sound of the waters lapping at the stone in the black night. He was about to do something that his father would have found unthinkable–he was going to force entry into a temple of the mysteries and take over the … Read More River of the Sun, Chapter Ten – Darkness at the Door

Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 42 – The Huntress .Alexandra. “Animals…” I said, just letting it hang in the air. “Animals?” John replied, playing his favourite ‘dead bat’. Just at that moment, Rose brought my coffee. Getting to our coffee shop after him was becoming annoying–particularly as I made every effort not to. Wherever this myth led, it was clearly important to him that … Read More Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 42 – The Huntress
