The Tree of Time
An early morning walk in Wytham woods set me thinking about the cycles of time. We also ran into the forester with a shotgun, who told us a story about magic mushrooms, and a group of scientists sitting around very delicately tagging the legs of birds. It was lovely — and timeless [...]

Baroness Hale’s Spider Brooch

Astrology of Now: Battle of the Geminis
Like much of the country, I was glued to the TV last night as the British Parliament took back control. It was theatrical. The cabal of profiteers sitting on the front bench, who currently control the Conservative party and government, visibly deflated and began to fray. The odious Rees Mogg, [...]

Ghislaine Maxwell’s Saturn Returns

Glass Skin
Until last week, I’d never heard of it either — “glass skin”; skin so luminous, transparent and flawless that it might be sculpted from glass. Apparently, it’s the “latest beauty trend”. The marketers of certain cosmetics can hear the kerching of cash tinkling into tills across the globe. [...]
