TIMES, TIME, AND HALF A TIME. A HISTORY OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM.

Comments on a cultural reality between past and future.

This blog describes Metatime in the Posthuman experience, drawn from Sir Isaac Newton's secret work on the future end of times, a tract in which he described Histories of Things to Come. His hidden papers on the occult were auctioned to two private buyers in 1936 at Sotheby's, but were not available for public research until the 1990s.

Countdown to Hallowe'en 20: Putting the Natural Back into Supernatural

Today, the Countdown to Hallowe'en blogathon continues with a spooky post on the environment, a topic I normally cover here. All Hallows' Eve overemphasizes the supernatural: it is a Christian night of purgatorial observance, coming before All Saints' Day (November 1) and All Souls' Day (November 2). But Hallowe'en is also a celebration of the power of the purely natural world, because it incorporates pagan elements, pre-Christian traditions around the harvest, and northern autumnal festivals. These latter aspects draw from the Roman feast of Pomona; the Celtic festival of Samhain; the Welsh Nos Galan Gaeaf; and the German Martinisingen. Below the jump, some unsettling calls from birds and animals (some are speculative).
