Here’s a summary of activity for the week ending June 7th, 2014.
This Village MAKE EVERY KIND OF MISTAKE Poster is another piece of helpful propaganda from the Ministry of Information … inspired by the signs that can be seen around the Village in The Prisoner and a quote from Chapter XLV: “Unserious” Conduct of a Pupil in Aleister Crowley’s Magick Without Tears.
