<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>The Well of Mimir</i> Is Being Revised Now</span></span></h2>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Quick update: I've completed the final novel in <i><b>The Spear of Odin </b></i>trilogy; I'm just polishing the final draft.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CreateSpace no longer exists so publishing will be via Amazon Kindle, and that will be a learning experience but I trust not too difficult.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you all for you patience and support! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why I wrote The Son of Thunder</span></h2>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wrote Son of Thunder partly because of the absence of respect for faith in Rick Riordan's multi-million copy selling Percy Jackson series. In the first book, a principal character describes God as "metaphysics" and a corrupt preacher deceased is judged by Hades.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My writing isn't for the immature and here is an excerpt of a goddess discussing the spiritual with the protagonist. C.S. Lewis also had pagan concepts like wood nymphs but subordinate to God.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of my key characters is a Valkyrie; Norse and Greek mythological concepts and figures are in the novel. I have excerpted a scene below.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course, the way I depict my character isn't the same as this artwork but perhaps it will give a reader an idea of the nobility and power I wish to portray, and the war between force of light and darkness.</span><br />

Excerpt:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I heard her shout to them, “WHICH ONE OF YOU GOONS SHOT OUT MY TIRE?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> She pointed to the Ferrari’s dented fenders.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> “I swear by the sacred waters of Gjöll I will send you all to Náströnd!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Looking even more monstrous as they got closer and closer, the seven all laughed together—an ugly, grating, feral sound. One rider came in closer and his bike skidded to stop. I could see t</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
he cloud of dust he’d raised, even in the fading, gloomy light.<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> His voice was guttural, worse than an angry WWF wrestler—deep, rumbling, and bestial, exactly as he appeared. His face looked wolfish; there’s no other way to describe it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> He snarled, “Hand over your cargo!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Cargo?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> My mind screamed, “What cargo?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> What the devil—literally—was he talking about?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> The “leader” of the gang—if that is what he was—then got off his bike and strode forward. I couldn’t get over how tall he was, like a pro basketball player except he was incredibly bulky. And how he could stay cool wearing that heavy black coat billowing in the wind I’d no idea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Still, at least I didn’t see him wield a gun or any sign of a weapon. Yet his whole posture and attitude was arrogant and cruel. Even through the goggles he wore, the yellow viper-like slit pupils of his eyes were pretty much a dead giveaway that the monster was utterly evil.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> “I’M WARNING YOU,” Val shouted, “REMEMBER MY OATH IF YOU TAKE A SINGLE STEP CLOSER!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> His strides got even longer, and he laughed low in his throat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> In a brilliant flash of light that stunned me, Val transformed to become exactly as I’d remembered her the other day except—amazingly—I thought she was even taller, stronger and more beautiful. To look directly at her actually hurt my eyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> In her right hand she grasped a silver-handled sword of incredible splendor; I didn’t think Excalibur could look any better—if Excalibur is out in the world somewhere. Its long, sleek blade seemed to have been forged not just from steel but from diamonds. Eerily translucent, it shined with a light all its own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> While she brandished the sword and then began making it sweep around her head in whirlwind fast arcs so that her arm became a blur, the other evil riders kept circling, circling, their throats rumbling laughter as deep as their motorcycles’ engines.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> The wolf-monster actually tilted his huge ugly head back and howled—but with sheer, ugly animal pleasure—and from somewhere, probably deep in his cloak, a midnight black broadsword appeared in his enormous hands, a sword almost as long as I was tall.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> And then without warning, Val charged. She moved at least as swiftly as a cheetah, becoming just a blur. </span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Immortal Maria Callas</span></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Maria Callas was one of the greatest opera singers of the Twentieth Century. What made her unique was her ability to bring life to the tragic heroines as no other artist could. No one else, to me, could convey the power of the joy and anguish of love.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">As this <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1999/04/forget-the-callas-legend/377551/" target="_blank">Atlantic appreciation of her art makes clea</a>r:</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span></span>IN a Callas performance no syllable of the text, no note of the
score, went unexamined. Singers so attuned to dramatic nuance -- there
are not many -- are liable to come across as nervous and infirm of
purpose, like writers who italicize everything and thus stress nothing.
Art means choices, as we all know: to play up A, we give up B. In
defiance of this incontrovertible theory, Callas could on occasion
sculpt a passage instant by instant without losing sight of her target.
At the opening of Act Three of the studio recording of <i>Medea,</i>
taped in 1957, she honed each word of the invocation of the gods of hell
to an edge of ferocity. Her usual practice, though, was to set the mood
and then place expressive accents sparingly. Lucia's frisson by the
fountain was only that, and that was all it needed to be. In the part of
the doomed Anne Boleyn, in Donizetti's <i><a data-omni-click="r'article',r'',d,r'intext',r'3',r'None'" href="http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~type40/callas/anna.htm" target="outlink">Anna Bolena,</a></i>
Callas fired off bull's-eye zingers at Henry VIII, well aware that Anne
is on thin ice, as the tremor in her anger showed. In the "Miserere"
from <i>Il trovatore</i> she smiled at grief. The finale of <i>Medea,</i>
in contrast, had to be tremendous, and so it was. In a live performance
in Florence in 1953 Callas rode the last phrases as if they were tidal
waves surging to the abyss. (The passage is a bonus track on the
complete 1958 Dallas <i>Medea,</i> on Gala, an excellent budget label.)</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />
However deep their gifts of sympathy and self-transformation, actors
privileged to test themselves against a gallery of the great roles
reveal over time the bedrock of their own hearts and souls. As the
constant in Callas we discover a rare nobility, a proud, unflinching
submission to fate. How apt, one might say: according to a dictum
espoused notably by Puccini, the very essence of opera is to torture the
heroine. But Callas never conveyed masochism, still less some
cold-marble high-mindedness. The worlds of her heroines turn upside down
in a moment, in many cases several times in short order. As Callas
played them, they waste no time sniveling or frittering away their lives
in second thoughts. Always her element was the unconditional.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
*** </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Most mysterious among her many gifts, Callas had the genius to
translate the minute particulars of a life into tone of voice. Her
Cio-Cio-San, in Puccini's <i>Madama Butterfly,</i> is a marvel. As the
child bride of the first act, Callas worked in fragile, chiming timbres
that she was able to maintain even in the swelling raptures of the love
duet. In Act Two a veil of grief descends, but still her voice was the
voice of a child. Only in the final scene, in the prelude to
Cio-Cio-San's suicide, did Callas disclose her full, tragic richness. By
way of contrast, consider the final act of <i>La traviata,</i> in which Violetta hangs on by a thread, singing in blanched sounds already brushed by death. For the <i>thought</i> of death, the singer had a quite different color, audible in the second studio <i>Norma</i> (1960) and in her <i>Carmen.</i> We hear it again in the Dallas <i>Medea,</i> where Callas fulminated in cries so clipped, so dark, so wild with rage, that they scarcely seem human.</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Thanks to 21st century technology Callas' art lives in a way one wouldn't have thought possible. There were too few filmed or videotaped performances of Callas but <a href="https://basehologram.com/productions/maria-callas" target="_blank">Base Holograms</a> has found a way to bring her back to the stage over forty years after she died.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here is a video excerpt of the the Base Hologram concert and I hope it comes to more cities so that a generation never blessed to see her in concert has a new opportunity to do so. Of course the recordings are wonderful but Maria's artistry was most apparent on stage.</span><br />

Lew Rockwell introduced me to the <a href="http://thezman.com/wordpress/">Z Man’s blog</a>, when he reposted <a href="https://www.lewrockwell.com/2017/02/no_author/essential-knowledge/">this
wonderful essay</a> on “Essential Knowledge.” Among the several profound truths
discussed, the Z Man noted that:</div>

habit has been to start at the beginning and read forward, thinking about how
each era led to and shaped the next. The tides of history have carried man to
the place he is today, not by chance, but through the great chain of causality.
Each new civilization was built on those that came before it. In this way,
history is a stack of blocks and the story of man is a tower reaching to the
heavens. To know what comes next means knowing every block in the stack and why
it is there…</span></div>

guide to choosing a better future; it allows us to understand and be aware of
the tyrannies of the present, to resist those who seek to limit our liberty,
who promote war, who have no sense of the spiritual and only believe in the

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">Before
Greece the domain of the intellect belonged to the priests. They were the
intellectual class of Egypt. Their power was tremendous. Kings were subject to
it. Great men must have built up that mighty organization, great minds, keen
intellects, but what they learned of old truth and what they discovered of new
truth was valued as it increased the prestige of the organization. And since
Truth is a jealous mistress and will reveal herself not a whit to any but a
disinterested seeker, as the power of the priesthood grew and any idea that
tended to weaken it met with a cold reception, the priests must fairly soon
have become sorry intellectualists, guardians only of what seekers of old had
found, never using their own minds with freedom. There was another result no
less inevitable: all they knew must be kept jealously within the organization.
To teach the people so that they would begin to think for themselves, would be
to destroy the surest prop of their power. No one except themselves must have
knowledge, for to be ignorant is to be afraid, and in the dark mystery mystery
of the unknown a man cannot find his way alone. He must have guides to speak to
him with authority. Ignorance was the foundation upon which the priest-power
rested. In truth, the two, the mystery and those who dealt in it, reinforced
each other in such sort that each appears both the cause and the effect of the
other. The power of the priest depended upon the darkness of the mystery; his
effort must ever be directed toward increasing it and opposing any attempt to
throw light upon it. The humble role played by the reason in the ancient world
was assigned by an authority there was no appeal against. It determined the
scope of thought and the scope of art as well, with an absolutism never questioned…</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">That
is what happens when one course is followed undeviatingly for ages. We are
composite creatures, made up of soul and body, mind and spirit. When men’s
attention is fixed upon one to the disregard of the others, human beings result
who are only partially developed, their eyes blinded to half of what life
offers and the great world holds. But in that antique world of Egypt and the
early Asiatic civilizations, that world where the pendulum was swinging ever
farther and farther away from all fact, something completely new happened. The
Greeks came into being and the world, as we know it, began…</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">While
it is entertaining, these orgies of destruction are killing Western civilization.
The culture of the West is not a single thing, but a series of waves from
Greece to the present. As each wave crashed, the next wave built upon what was
accomplished by the previous wave. The current waves breaking on the rocks of
reality are leaving nothing but rubble, as Progressive culture furiously erases
our past. To call it a suicide cult is to give it too much credit. It is
cultural nihilism that will usher in a new dark age.</span></div>

Man on the murder of Western civilization; I do not say that every reader of
Lew Rockwell or Z Man’s blog share the same goals yet I think among the
billions of souls living on our enemy occupied planet, there are a great many—even
if a minority—who value liberty, beauty, life and realize the importance of our
cultural heritage. Thanks to this site and the Internet, I have encountered
likeminded souls. And I have reason to believe that we few, “we happy few,” we
band of brothers and sisters will do our best to remember and to spread the
word, not just through social media, but in what we create, what we value, what
we hold dear.</span></div>

and avoiding Scylla and Charybdis, life’s journey can be a beautiful one. And
that is why it’s so important that we honor and remember the past, remember our
shared history, celebrate it, share it, and never forget, despite the efforts
of the blind whose goal is for us to blind ourselves and deny our common
humanity. There is neither peace nor joy in their “vision.” Their view of life
is ugly, grey and one of continual strife and conflict; in other words, they do
not see the truth.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">"Childish Things"</span></h2>
My latest for LewRockwell.com on how J.K. Rowling as a Social Justice Warrior on Twitter no longer seems to share the values she espoused as an author of Harry Potter.<br />
<br />
Here's the link and title: <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.lewrockwell.com/2017/03/yvonne-lorenzo/childish-things/" target="_blank">Childish Things</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Am I the only one to see the parallel between the press’s treatment
of Donald Trump (although no angel), using disinformation and
falsehoods, and the actions described in the series of books by the
Wizard government, embodied in the ministry, using their press to spread
lies against Harry Potter? In the denouement of the series, the
Ministry of Magic “reaches a nadir of corruption before being
effectively taken over by <a href="https://infogalactic.com/info/Lord_Voldemort">Lord Voldemort</a>,” the villain of the series. And what is Voldemort’s modus operandi in the <a href="https://infogalactic.com/info/Lord_Voldemort#Harry_Potter_and_the_Deathly_Hallows">series finale</a>? He establishes a totalitarian police state.</span><br />
