But the god does not bloom into a genuine Promethean technomage until he heads south, across the wine dark sea, to Egypt. Here, in the centuries before the birth of Jesus, the religious imagination of the Hellenistic world crossbred Hermes with the Egyptian scribal god Thoth to create one of the great matinee idols of esoteric lore: Hermes Trismegistus." -- Erik Davis, "Techgnosis" (1998) The Raku Study Group January 15, 2023 1pm in California, 9pm in the UK An informal meeting: drop by when you can, show us what you've got, ask and answer questions, or just listen and lurk.

Is it just fastidiousness on your part? There is so little to show for it... As to style, I certainly do not worry myself, as you do, over that. The wind bloweth as it listeth through my old harp."
