Dear Friends,
I've been meaning to post for a couple of days well actually longer than that.
I have several Tales going on at this point mostly in my head, and some of them committed already to being written out. I find editing to be both maddening and enjoyable in turn. I am always trying for perfection, and of course coming up short. It is the nature of it, I think.

As you may know or not know I make my living as an artist. Which probably is a very kind description of what I do. I would think that I am more of a Craftsman/Artisan/Dilettante of many different disciplines. I have my fingers in multiple pies.
The Invisible College:
One of my favorite projects has been the Invisible College Review/Magazine over the last 15 years. Martina Hoffman & Robert Venosa encouraged me when I approached them with the idea. It has been an ongoing project ever since. We have a new edition out now. This is our 11th issue, and its theme is “Alchemy”.
You can purchase it here at our publishing site and get a free print included with it, or you can order it from Barnes & Noble for a quicker delivery time.

Perhaps one of the oldest arts that could be considered Alchemical would-be ceramics. We are featuring the ceramics of Andrea O’Reilly: “Art Of The Four Elements”… in this ancient field, which is a first for The Invisible College.
P.D Newman returns to the Invisible College with an excerpt from his new book, “Angels in Vermillion”, The Philosophers Stone from Dee to DMT. It makes for a great read.
We are very pleased to present the poetry of Whit Griffin, an excerpt from his new book, “Uncanny Resonance”. Whit’s poetry is some of the very best of our current poets in the US.
We are happy to present “Psychognosis” along with the beautiful art of the author Daniel Mirante. His art work, his teaching and his understanding of the Alchemical process is nicely laid out in his article.
We are pleased to present the art of Madeline von Foerster in “Alchemy Expressed Through Surrealism” . Amazing artwork, beautifully surreal; executed in the oil and egg tempera mische technique developed by the Flemish Masters.
We have an interview with Sasha Chaitow whose new book “Atalanta Unveiled” is causing quite a stir in alchemical circles in Europe and the USA. This is quite a wide ranging interview in only the way that Ronnie Pontiac can conduct an interview.
Laurence Caruana shares both his art and his journey through alchemy with us in his article “Speculum Alchemae”. The details of his Alchemical journey from the 1990’s in Montreal, to his life now in Europe. Laurence’s art is a bonus to this article, he is well known in the Visionary School, and in fact one of the founders of The Academy of Visionary Art in Vienna, now residing in France.
Holly Van Fleet returns to this edition with more of her concise writings and “Alchemical Musings”.

I also put out a calendar yearly of my art and that is available here. It has gotten great reviews over the last few months which makes me very happy. There is a preview function at the site to see what is on the calendar as well!
