Here’s a summary of activity for the week ending October 23, 2016.
Looking back, I guess the last summary for the week I posted was for August 2, 2014! That kind of boggles my mind a bit, actually, how long ago that was.
Last week, the daily panels of Aethyrs I’ve been posting for Inktober have continued to be very popular. Be sure to check those out. I’ll make a master post to round up all the panels at the end of the month, but until then … I’ll keep you in suspense™.
I started to post to the blog the book quotes from books I’ve been reading that I’ve been sharing to social media. The first of those posted yesterday.

- “It will doubtless be asked why cyclic development must proceed in this manner, in a downward direction, from higher to lower, a course that will at once be perceived to be a complete antithesis to the idea of progress as the moderns understand it. The reason is that the development of any manifestation necessarily implies a gradually increasing distance from the principle from which it proceeds”—Rene Guenon, The Essential Rene Guenon
