Here’s a summary of activity for the week ending April 1st, 2018.
Still trying to figure out where the new Hermetic Library World HQ will be, and am super busy getting things packed, into storage, and looking for a place.
Still looking for help and others to join me in a working community around the library, of course.
I’ve added a few more items from Fellow Walter C Cambra, and there’s a lot more I have from him that I need to transcribe and format into pages at the library.
And, this last week, I received a ton of material from Bob Black to add to his Fellows section that I’ll be adding as I am able. Hermetic Library may become the best and most current authorized archive of his material online, once I’ve gotten everything he sent up on the site!
Lots of new pages and work on old pages on the site, which is pretty much every week, really. You can always check the front page of the site which shows the most recent changes and new pages, or check out the Recent Changes special page for a full list.
Want to join me on this blog and create new art or writing for Hermetic Library? Pitch your Idea!
Be sure to check out the actual Hermetic Library, and drop a buck in the tip jar or become a Patron!.
Consider also checking out what I’m up to on my personal blog and at Odd Order.
