Newsletter September 2019
Sova Slova, by Rima Staines
General News:

Personal mentoring is again a free service. This is more in accordance with my principles. I began to take a fee in order to offer online counseling (which, as a free service, is attracting lack of seriosity and problems of limitation). Therefore I´m not any longer offering online counseling.
 
On my links page I have presented two new links:
 
1)  The Modern Fairies Project (Modern Fairies is a unique collaboration between leading songwriters, musicians, artists, poets, filmmakers & researchers to develop exciting new work, presenting fresh perspectives on what folklore means to us in the modern world).
 
2)  The Gift, by Lewis Hyde. By now a modern classic, The Gift is a brilliantly orchestrated defense of the value of creativity and of its importance in a culture increasingly governed by money and overrun with commodities.
 
On my blog, I have started writing about the relation between art and shamanism. I have therefore created a new blog category for these new writings: The Artist as Shaman.
Together with Tom Hirons, Rima Staines steer Hedgespoken, a travelling off-grid storytelling theatre run from a 1966 Bedford RL lorry, converted to be a home and a go-anywhere stage.

Newest texts

The Matrix Dictionary (link to website):

1) Yuval Noah Harari – The Historian Who Wanted to be Philosopher Instead of the Philosopher (article in preparation)

2) The Dark League Behind the 2020 Presidential Candidacy of Marianne Williamson (The New Age guru, Marianne Williamson, didn’t make the stage for the third round of the Democratic debates (2019), but that doesn’t mean we should underestimate her influence. Williamson is a supporter of the American New Thought movement, and so is Donald Trump. Trump was probably just a better practitioner. In this Ebook I will investigate the “dark league” behind Williamson, which has created the “spiritual” mantra: “Fake it Till You Make It”, and which is in progress with a redefinition of all the original wisdom traditions).

3)  The Matrix Hybrid between Digital Totalitarianism, Surveillance Capitalism and Chinese Communism
