The pursuit of family history and genealogy
has come to be very meaningful and compelling to me.
I now have other websites devoted to aspects of this,
so it's time to link them with Luchnos,
and attempt to integrate these different projects.
Here's a page of musings about some
philosophical issues and controversies
around what it means to get to know our...
Roots

Here's a link to a growing compilation of files about my
Ancestors

    An excerpt from "The Finder",
- first of the Tales from Earthsea - 
a powerful work by a kindred spirit and great inspiration, 
Ursula K. Le Guin.

Check out my updated, expanded 
Le Guin page ;

- Reflections on the yearning for paradise 
and the lust for conquest,
with help from Thomas Merton and Gary Snyder!

 Le Guin's "Hand" 
was an underground resistance network 
that formed during a Dark age of war in Earthsea.  
Our times, too, are overshadowed by war, 
violence and oppression,
so what LeGuin has envisioned has much
for us to think about now.  
If you find the story about it inspiring or intriguing, 
don't hesitate to get in touch!  
In the words of another visionary:  

One way to find the strength and inspiration 
is through the ancient "Pagan" traditions,
and the recent movements inspired by them.

Reclaiming,
"a network of communities linking magic and activism,"
 has quite a bit in common with Earthsea's Hand.

". . everyone can do the life-changing, world-renewing
work of magic . . ."

A critical look at some pagan attitudes. . .

Internet radio is a wonderful way to hear music
that you could never hear on an on-air broadcast.
There are thousands of little undiscovered gems 
out there.

Here's one that comes from our neighborhood,
playing mostly acoustic, natural music.
HOBER-land is only a ten-minute walk from Luchnos...
emanating from the Hober-dome.

You can listen to Hober directly from here!
Just click on the button.
A great accompaniment to Luchnos,
or wherever else you may wander...
Enjoy!

(You will need the free Real Player or something else 
that will play .ram files. 
It also helps to have plenty of memory
and an internet connection that isn't really slow)

Wish there were some way we could share 
the extensive Luchnos MP3 collection with you all online,
but that would get us into BIG trouble!

Here on Luchnos, we'll be sharing all we can of the valuable books, websites, groups and opportunities for learning we've found, that show a part of the way, or uphold a piece of this vision. 

By bringing them together here, we hope you'll be able to discover connections among them that may have been unnoticed 'til now.
  And we eagerly invite your help 
in bringing more of them to our attention. 

With all of our efforts, we can put the pieces of the puzzle back together and see the beauty of it whole.
