- 16 авг.XXXIX. Orphic Hymn to Ceres [Demeter Eleusinia] The Fumigation from Storax. O Universal mother, Ceres [Deo] fam'd august, the source of wealth, and various nam'd: Great nurse, all-bounteous, blessed and divine, who joy'st in peace, to nourish corn is thine: Goddess of seed, of fruits abundant, fair, harvest and threshing, are thy constant care; Who dwell'st in Eleusina's seats retir'd, lovely, delightful queen, by all desir'd. Nurse of all mortals, whose benignant mind, first ploughing oxen to the yoke confin'd; And gave to men, what nature's wants require, with plenteous means of bliss which all desire. In verdure flourishing in honor bright, assessor of great Bacchus [Bromios], bearing light: Rejoicing in the reapers sickles, kind, whose nature lucid, earthly, pure, we find. Prolific, venerable, Nurse divine, thy daughter loving, holy Proserpine [Koure]: A car with dragons yok'd, 'tis thine to guide, and orgies singing round thy throne to ride: Only-begotten, much-producing queen, all flowers are thine and fruits of lovely green. Bright Goddess, come, with Summer's rich increase swelling and pregnant, leading smiling Peace; Come, with fair Concord and imperial Health, and join with these a needful store of wealth.

- 12 авг.We have allies in the academic world as well as structural and conceptual frameworks that fit our spiritual project nicely. Imagine, for example, if we can create a situation where professors like Arthur Versluis are teaching kids intro to philosophy courses instead of Marxist atheists. It would be the difference between night and day. This is a big and long-term goal but not a crazy or unachievable one!3,28%

- 3 авг.The work we are doing today lays the intellectual foundation for something much greater: the eventual establishment of Academies. These Academies would be kindergarten-through-college schools designed to shape children into philosophers. They will function as private schools, philosophical research institutions, and temples. But we can only achieve such lofty goals one step at a time, and we must begin with ourselves. All of us, now, are the leaders who must work tirelessly for a better future. - CWT Admin3,12%

- 2 авг.XX. Homeric Hymn to Hephaestus [1] Sing, clear-voiced Muses, of Hephaestus famed for inventions. With bright-eyed Athene he taught men glorious gifts throughout the world, -- men who before used to dwell in caves in the mountains like wild beasts. But now that they have learned crafts through Hephaestus the famed worker, easily they live a peaceful life in their own houses the whole year round. Be gracious, Hephaestus, and grant me success and prosperity! Recommended reading for the next week: The Similitudes of Demophilus 72,89%
