  • the arcane diary posits a fairly simple question

    a simple question
    with enormous repercussions
    what if it all were true?
    myth
    scripture
    fiction
    the ethereal realm of imagination
    if something can exist only there,
    where is that, exactly?

    Elsewhere –
    to my Earthican friends

  • end loop

    parse documents
    extract meaning
    make sense
    make notes
    ask questions
    seek information
    ~end loop~
  • Come. Follow me, weary traveller.

    Take my hand, beloved
    let me lead you through this labyrinth of oddities.
    Feel free to wander off the path – if you choose.
    But be warned;
    this collection has hungry things that might follow you home.
    But don’t let that keep you up at night,
    there are plenty of scarier things on the news.
    (once you start looking…)
    If the weird intrigues some deep, inner part of you:
    you are among friends here!

    Peruse at your own risk!

  • A world of secrets

    A world of secrets, shadows

    And the creatures that dwell in it

    Spies, thieves, politicians

    Crooks, liars and killers

    It is the world about

    And a mirror of within

  • The seeker

    Enter Now
    And life, as you know it,
    will have entered an entirely unique new reality
    That will be different
    Than the one you once knew
    So enter, if you dare
    But beware that once seen
    Some things can never be un-seen
    So govern yourselves
    Accordingly

  • The Seeker

    The Seeker

    Enter Now

    And life, as you know it,

    will have entered a unique new reality

    That will be different

    Than the one you once knew

    So enter if you dare

    But beware that once seen

    Some things can never be un-seen

    So govern yourselves

    Accordingly

  • The Upward Spiral

    Returning to previously explored ideas

    to realize that while the facts remain the same, you do not,

    and therefore, see the thing in a new light,

    from the new perspective, all you have learned has afforded you.

    While sometimes you feel like you are going around in circles, as long as your viewpoint improves, you’re moving in the right direction.
