@sus pick out some cards, I'm probably going to have to make a WILL AND LAST TESTAMENT soon

I don't care, it's all part of the real 'nuum, the continuum of consciousness, but if I can scatter traces of my existence on this plane then I'll be happy err

In this Inside the Library session, Laura Bryer will be talking about the collection of Renaissance polymath, Dr John Dee.

John Dee was one of the most remarkable figures in Tudor England, who continues to fascinate us to this day!

By the 1570s, Dee had established what has been referred to as the largest and most diverse library in Elizabethan England.

Of this once fine collection, five books can now be found within Chetham’s Library.

This session will explore how and why the books of this controversial figure joined the collection here at Chetham’s Library.



Suitable for +18

Tbf, all the Alien films are basically an extended Tower metaphor from the perspective of nature

Came across this Drowning World tarot set in the Opus 40 gift shop. Plastic wrap prevented me from locating the Tower

Yeah they have a lot of good looking stuff, I beg there are some good characters involved.

Danny posted a link to this talk in October http://www.thelasttuesdaysociety.org/listings/event/phil-baker-austin-osman-spare-zoom-lecture/ and I booked on.

Used to know a guy who worked there, called himself Vadim Kosmos but that ain't his real name. Knowledgeable and interesting guy anyway.

the Church of Subgenius used to boast about SLACK as a virtue

if they were correct I am a DEMIGOD!

@sus

I have more Tower cards to reveal!

but I'm interested in what our latest member @tarotplane has to say given the name

LA TORRE

what if 9/11 was as much a matter of architectural criticism as religious terrorism?

if the Taro was introduced from Egypt to Europe does it not make sense that it incorporated intimations of the future destruction of western arrogance? you can't say you weren't warned centuries before, etc.,
