Big day at the hacienda today. First walk outside on a leash. First lizard chase (thankfully unsuccessful). #cat
One of the last projects Tamra was trying to help was End of the Line: The Women of Standing Rock director Shannon Kring's new documentary about this: Nine Little Indians. I'll be doing any thing I can to help. #indigenous
American Metaphysical Religion received a nice review in Volume 51, Issue 1 of Religious Studies Review (RSR) a quarterly review of publications across the entire field of religion and related disciplines. If you liked the book please consider reviewing it.
Friends, this is the actual final call for reports of paranormal experiences involving Tamra: apparitions, dreams, audio apparitions, omens involving birds, dragonflies, scarabs, butterflies etc. So far we have 28 of them in the last chapter of our book.Thank you Patty Grady for the illustration. 🙏❤️
The great Santee Dakota activist and poet John Trudell had this to say about Tamra. Here's a link to Tamra's interview with him. It speaks to our times. #activism tamralucid.medium.com/newtopia-int...
The continuing saga of the loss of my beloved wife Tamra Lucid. #love substack.com/@ronnieponti...
A message from an Angeleno about the fake insurrection news. #losangeles #martiallaw
A little something Manly Hall taught me that has proven helpful. #meditation
I'll be returning to Typical Skeptic for our second live stream on YouTube, tomorrow night (Saturday) at 8 PM Eastern. I'll provide the link when I get it. Join us for two hours of detailed discussion about Rosicrucians and esoteric counterculture. #esoteric #occult #counterculture
Nine Little Indians is a documentary ten years in the making by Emmy and Humanitas nominated director @shannonkring whose doc End of the Line: The Women of Standing Rock documented a unique event in American history. #indigenoushistory
The mystical side of Elvis gives much food for thought. Elvis (and Jim Morrison) were among many I wanted to write about in American Metaphysical Religion, but when it got to 600pp decisions had to be made. Delighted to see this crown jewel of AMR receiving a worthy exploration. #occult
Finally finished the last big edit of The Rosicrucian Counterculture. Have been putting in twelve hour days sorting additions, smoothing out structure etc, it's quite more the book than it was. Now for food and swimming. #esoteric #rosicrucian
What does it tell you that Manly Hall listened to her more than me when we were his screeners? She is the sun in my life, the constant light, every time I see her I have the feeling that dawn has come. #love
"The whole power of magic consists in love." Marsilio Ficino We met on this day when she was barely 19 and I was barely 20. She taught me not to lie, how to floss, and how to have a sense of humor. My favorite person and my favorite creative collaborator. #love
We could barely play! Later that song became our first college radio hit, CMJ #8 most added, played on almost 400 college radio stations. Not bad for the first song Tamra ever wrote~
We played our first gig ever at Cell 63. Link below to a video from that gig that shows the riot grrrl and Revolution Rising zine tables and the first time we ever played Tamra Lucid's song Dad live~ #punk #riotgrrrl
I asked Tamra Lucid if this was art or a spell? She said we'll see. #art
Now available for pre-sale from Black Letter Press. Link below. Amazing book.
My blurb for Sasha Chaitow's new book to be released by Black Letter Press 🌟The Hieroglyphica is a literary enigma that belongs beside the Hermetica and the Orphic Hymns. Like them it claims to be a transmission of ancient wisdom but was actually written... down much later...
Editing continues. Tamra came up with a good subtitle last night The Unobstructed Way: A True Account of the Exploration of Life After Death. We've got a few others for White Crow to choose from. Jane Lynch is writing the forward. A postcard (1915) of Stewart and Betty's house in Santa Barbara.
Stewart Edward White on safari (r). Theodore Roosevelt called him the best marksman who ever shot on his range. Betty and the Invisibles convinced Stewart to shoot animals with a camera instead of a gun. Pictures of the Whites are quite rare. I've only seen one of Betty. #spirituality
Don Webb on The Magic of the Orphic Hymns. He also said he thought the title should be Renaissance Starter Kit. #pagan
