Following our publication of Paul Cudenec's series of essays on "The Spirit of Sophia" in September, long-time UK reader Wayne John sent us a well-informed essay he wrote around the same subject, which we are delighted to be able to share here. The central Christian confession of faith is the proclamation that ‘God is Love’ … Continue reading Towards a Sexual Eschatology: The Divine Sophia in Esoteric Christianity

Now, even allowing for my previously confessed penchant for low budget horror films in general (and I watched quite a few other films in that category … Continue reading Can Bigfoot Save Us?

I can’t help but notice that with the rapid onslaught of authoritarian and totalitarian developments in Western Democracies over the past eight or so years, the United States has fared a little better than others.
