Here’s a summary of activity for the week ending July 16th, 2017.

Mostly working steadily each day on the site, as I do, this week. You can always check the front page of the site which shows the most recent changes and new pages, or check out the Recent Changes special page for a full list.

The library passed 14,000 followers on Twitter recently, so that’s pretty cool. As always, I’m glad for all the new and old followers following along.

Here’s a quote from Aleister Crowley’s The Cry of the 14th Aethyr
