"The more I study mythology and folklore, the more I come to the same conclusion that people from every age of this world have come to: myths are the most precious treasures bequeathed to us by generations long past. It has become very fashionable to look down on mythology and other narratives that feature elements that are seen as “supernatural” or which border on the “irrational” as though they represent failings of human reason in the face of the unknown, but it is my opinion that the true failing is found in people who cannot think multi-dimensionally about the things they experience."

The Threshold Is Horned and Horns Keep It



"The Weird has woven it all- all possibilities of time, place, and experience, and we are wandering in a mental space with borders that cannot be found. Powers are shrieking through here, through all things, and through us. We have sought the quiet. We have sought the flesh and found the world of alternating light and darkness. We have largely and mercifully forgotten the strange chaos, but we feel its extraordinary presence, creeping back up on us at times. What happens in the depths also happens “here”- for they are not so different places- and we cannot guess it out. Sometimes it kills. Sometimes it brings to life. Sometimes it takes and sometimes it gives. We can be terrified of it or try to cast ourselves into the bonds of love with it, but at the end of this mortal road, we must face it. It is never what we imagined, as well as all that we imagined."
