Hymn to Jupiter What endless and swirling sea of those tideless waves ever lapping at stillness in storm, Ineffable cosmos of matter and mist to which no hand might hope to give function and form, Dwelt motionless shifting on sunless horizon, a maelstrom of substance, cacophonous cry, Lightless in shimmers shone outward and inner, seeking the sight of yet unopened eye. All things together in nothingness bound, wrapped in unbeing and timeless unending, Unwritten, unspoken words with all meaning trapped beyond thought in ascension descending, Towers devoured by unbuilt foundations, perennial cycles yet to begin, Consumed in the waters, erosion unmoving, agony endless yet nothing within. A time without moment, a wait without patience, ceaseless in silence; no end to be sought, No sentient instinct to writhe in its torment, strained on against boundless bindings to nought. Yearning for light and for shape to grant shadow, airlessly gasping from desperate lungs, Howling in silence demands to give form, words are unbidden on mouths without tongues. Into this sleepless dream did Thy dauntless Mind ever-present awake and aware, Divine and eternal, immense and unyielding, cut then and now soil and sea from the air, Thy Mind be the fountain that from which is granted all meaning to matter and matter to mien, O’ Thou who in timeless and permanence gives unto shadow and shimmer a shape to be seen, Thou who split darkness from light everlasting with brow that saw Heavens be sundered and quake, Whose fiery eye sits crowned at the zenith of skyward throne golden, aware and awake. Carving the cosmos in image Thine rendered as marble is fashioned in likeness of man, Lord of Creation, master and Sovereign, with Thou the concept Creation began. Who else might have splintered the soil from the waves, thereby plucking the land from Primordial Sea, Who else might have granted a union of body and spirit and soul and the mind except Thee? Who else but Thee, O’ Thou Almighty Lord, who from the Heavens sees sky split in sunder, Thou who the firmament honours aligned, Celestial bodies converging in thunder. O’ how Thy breath moves boundless as spirit through all of Creation in purpose unpaused, The winds of Thy Heavens fill ever the lungs of all mortals all moving according to Cause. Olympian Sovereign, Whose firmament throne is the Heavens exalted in all that occurs, Lord of Creation, in Whose Divine palm Victory ever eternal recurs, Thou who set motion of Fate into weaving, the tapestry binding all bidden to be, Thy Lightning surges through nerves of the living, compelling the mortal to reach unto Thee, Boundless, all Power, all Order, from Whom in Thine open mind agony Wisdom came clad In armour and beauty, spear in hand, shielded evermore added to tapestry plaid, Thou who splits open a screaming sky stricken with firmament fire on serpentine path, Transfixing gazes of mortals with light sent forth leaping in symbol of Heavenly wrath, From Whom Sacred Fire was form freely given, not light or mere heat, but from whence Will erupts, Those who yet honour Thy majesty endless ask worship of Thee be returned unto us.

We are going BACK to the Victorian Era! 🎩 Did you know that the Victorian English would be horrified with the state of modern society in the 21st century? In the 19th century, Victorian England experienced a strong conservative backlash against the soft acceptance of certain decadent behaviours in the Georgian Era. • Georgian Era dresses slightly revealed women's cleavage. Victorian Era dresses completely covered women's bodies. Women changed from wearing exposed wigs to wearing hats and scarves covering up their hair. • Certain texts were banned and censored to prevent the corruption of the youth. This primarily involved books containing explicit sexual content. • Morality campaigns from the middle-class about issues such as drunkeness and sexual morality became more prevalent. For example, adolescent men were encouraged not to masturbate, knowing that abstinence increases masculinity and virility. • Illegitimate children became increasingly unacceptable. King William IV had illegitimate children, but Queen Victoria banished them from court. By the beginning of the 20th century, women started putting illegitimate children up for adoption because it was too shameful to have them around. If this was the response and cultural shift of the Victorians to the already conservative culture of the Georgian Era (by today's standards), imagine how they would react to the current state of our society today. Modern degeneracy is promoted through media and indoctrination campaigns targeting young men and women through drug, gambling and hookup culture. Drunkeness and unrestrained partying is heavily encouraged amongst the youth, primarily by single, childless men. An ideal human being as explored by ancient Roman philosophers is one who possesses moderation, temper, morality, and self-control. Let's look to the past to derive our direction for the future.

Here's that map I made for the LGM refugia and cultures, help yourselves. The Magdalenian emerged from part of the Solutrean and then expanded as it got warmer again. The Epigravettian culture are the WHG genetically. I suspect the hypothetical Balkan refugia could have actually been based in and around the Aegean coasts and islands at sites that are now submerged. Probably in coastal Anatolia too. What evidence do I have for that? None, really. Mostly it's the degree of genetic divergence suggesting a longer isolation and also the affinities seen between later Mesolithic groups in the Balkans and northwest Anatolia.

My ancestor Thomas Philpott (1800-1866) was the founder of the Surrey Comet, one of London's oldest newspapers and the oldest newspaper covering Surrey from 1854 onwards. Thomas was prompted to create the Surrey Comet after receiving a vision from God telling him to "expose the bad and promote the good." In the Comet, Thomas had this to say about Great Britain and the English: "The self-satisfied Briton truly enjoys his "Otium cum dignitate." Really and truly Great Britain is a wonderful nation - the most unshackled - the most easily led - the most constitutional - yet the most loyal - grasping in trifles - munificent in great affairs - devoted to her laws - independent in her acts - devoted to a cause, yet silent on the subject - not only enthusiastic to the shedding of her best blood or the loss of her last shilling - she calmly and quietly watches the course of events - while her markets - her commerce - her usual avocations seem to remain unshaken amidst the "din of war," as her loyalty and good faith, her freedom and her arts, which have flourished and progressed during forty years of almost profound peace. - Truly, truly, England IS a WONDERFUL NATION."
