Sage.Fourhares Newsletters
Over the last near twenty years (perhaps a little more), my tarot newsletter, and more recently my Sage newsletter, have been coded directly using html. This has allowed me to be rather simple with my format – though with, especially over the last few years, the increased use of mobile devices t (read; ‘phones’) used…

Faith, Hope, and Love
What are called the three ‘theological’ virtues remain anchors inn western esoteric tradition. They are probably best known – and from that source most influenced western development across the centuries – from St Paul’s letter (1 Corinthians 13:13), in which he writes: ‘In short, there are three things that last: faith, hope and love; and…

Our Piscean Age and Year of the Horse
If we consider the visual position of the Sun relative the background Stars and constellations, we are still very much in the Age of Pisces. In fact, we are still there for another 350 years or so. In the context of the cycle of approximately 2160 years for each age, we are of course nearing…

On informed personal choice
Over the last few months, I have frequently been asked where I stood on the subject of vaccinations. My standard reply has always been: informed personal choice. I still stand by this. Over the course of the last ten years of so, main media channels have certainly had the opportunity to mis-represent my stance, so…

Easter… and meditative practice
I was reminded only recently how far societal change has moved, and how distant and disconnected so many have become to spiritual understanding of festivals, commemorations, and various practices. Easter is probably an excellent example. Even amongst the privately (and that speaks volumes!) religious, unless directly engaged within the confines of the religiously minded community,…

A time to live… a time to breathe…
Though each decade can warrant a comment that reflects its uniqueness and its various challenges, there is no doubt that this period, which may last the proverbial ‘one thousand two hundred and sixty days’ (Revelation 11), is showing us (again) humanity’s parasitic and self-destructive capacities. It is a bit of an understatement to mention that…

Slaughter Live Exports
Though there are some situations where the migration of animals needs to be supported (read below), live exports destined for slaughter needs to be abolished. There are a number of reasons why Australia exports live animals to various parts of the world. Some of these are, from my perspective, perfectly reasonable, and the welfare of…

On Guns, New Zealand, and politics
It seems that the terrible act that recently occurred in Christchurch, New Zealand, is receiving the kind of media attention and reflective commentary that has little been seen since the Port Arthur (Tasmania) or Hoddle Street (Melbourne) shootings that took place decades ago. And that discussion (not the act) is something commendable, despite the shocking…

On the eve of the French Presidential Election
So… it’s between Le Pen and Macron, with the latter expected to win collecting approximately 60% of the votes. I beg to differ on nearly every analysis that I have yet had the opportunity to read. And I similarly disagree with the analysis many have given for either Trump’s victory or so-called ‘Brexit’. I read…

On the passing of an exceptional philosopher
If there’s been one philosopher that stands out over the course of the past century, it would be John Deely. His voluminous works, all too often criticised for their obtuseness, display an astounding insight that is all too rare in the history of this cenoscopic field: he has provided a way forward from the limited…
