With warm gratitude to Bellator Dei for the graphic.
Recently I indicated new directions for this site that will unfold over the new year.
My meditations over this Christmas and on the state of the world have prompted these.
But I still need to meditate more as to how best to take this new track.
Still a certain hint can be given.
And for anyone who would like such a hint, it can be found on a new page (with text) that I have added to both our US and UK Amazon stores.
The page with a small text can be found at the US site here.
Otherwise you can read it at the UK site here.
It is not only the text itself that provides the hint, but the mixture of authors …
I would like to say again that anything at all purchased through Amazon – either through the stores or the Amazon links to the right will help support a work that is trying to unfold through this site.
Hopefully there will be more about this new direction in a few days.
From Amazon USA:
These books can also be found in our Amazon UK store here, as well as in in our Reviews (links to each review below advertisement).

Fine selection indeed. If you lend me some voice, I’d add Chesterton’s What’s wrong with the World and Guenon’s Crisis of the modern world.
Senkosmos, it is very good to have your voice here, a voice that has moved and impressed me elsewhere.
You are too kind I think to my very quickly thrown together selection. A larger store is in construction (as indicated above) …
As to Guenon and Chesterton, I am moving in the direction of both – via Borella and Belloc.
I am borrowing Borella’s book on Geunon at last – and Belloc was clearly key to Chesterton.
May I say that I find myself particularly hoping you will see my latest entry: On Hilaire Belloc: Fumbling in the Footsteps of a Giant.
This particular entry says a lot about the direction this website will be taking and I think it may be a direction you will find of interest.
A final note on Belloc and Chesterton – taken from elsewhere on the web:
In 1923 Chesterton did write to Belloc that “you were the founder and father of this mission; we [others] were the converts but you were the missionary.”19 In his able biography of Belloc, John P. McCarthy concurs that Ches- terton “was very greatly indebted to Belloc in the formation of his opinions” and “should be regarded more as the articulate disciple in these matters.”
I do not know Chesterton well enough to substantiate this or not, but as I plunge through two biographies of Belloc I see much which suggests it may be true.
Again: great to have your voice here!
