How many more times can I be unpleasantly surprised? Favorite moments of this week include scrawny Stevie Miller trying to deliver dialogue ripped from the pages of a 1970s Conan comic about ”the iron laws of the world…” (Don’t get me wrong, I love 1970s Conan comics.)

I’ll take the Kenneth Grant so that I can imbibe about three pages of text and suddenly feel like someone dosed my espresso with LSD.

Have you read Ronald Hutton’s Queens of the Wild? I know that satyrs are not the same as ‘foliate heads’ (green men), but Hutton makes the case that the appearance of foliate heads in UK churches isn’t some pagan upwelling but instead a medieval symbol for sinfulness…

2 of 2: Mohahegh evokes archetypal night characters: travelers, prophets, rebels, storytellers, sorcerors - and vibrant milieus: the night of the totalitarian dystopia, the night of the idol’s revenge, the night of the dream-reader’s silence. Full of references to explore, the books are a portal…

Driving away with that carful of toddlers, after bouncing their defenseless parent(s) off the pavement, must be as intense as a Batman vs. Bane throwdown…
