Hello! I'm Chronos Apollonios, but enough about me. This page will be constantly under development. Please return here often to see what's been added. Hopefully, it will be things far out enough that you will like them greatly, you maybe just never knew where to look. In the meantime, you can find my unusual, optimistic, semi-educated and sometimes pained and opinionated rants on various e-mail lists, and accumulated in their list archives.

Chronos Apollonios advocates science, education, botany, conservation, gardening, herbalism, The Doctrine of Signatures (also known as the Doctrine of Correspondences), alchemy, materialization, free energy, free thought, optimism, skeptical inquiry, magick, paganism, occultism, Palingenics (Palingenesy), Catoptromancy, shopping around for opinions, open mindedness, holding as high as possible an opinion of your predecessors --and their knowledge, skills, values and sensibilities--, treating Star Trek technobabble as reality, charity, the right to life, ressurection, immortality, and harming none, including yourself.

Correspondence regarding this site and its issues can be posted to chroniapolloni@yahoo.com

As of April, 1998, I am working on including material from my posts to various lists during the last year including, and especially, Occulthaven.

I will devote as much as possible my own time, effort, ideas and posts to the PHOENIX RISING Occult Discussion Forum and the monthly Phoenix Chronicles web magazine.

Please feel free to use material I have generated here as you like. (You have my expressed permission to do anything with such material except get rich off it and rub my nose in it...)

Note that links appearing here do not necessarily constitute endorsement of ideas, products or services.

If you are aware of any essential links that have been omitted, I'd be most pleased to have them brought to my attention. You can leave them in the guestbook or write to me at the above working address.

Please note that I am intending to leave "dead" links listed. This helps serve as a record that some fabulous resources that have come and gone were ever even here. If you know that they were, maybe you can figure out who still has the information available. You might even talk to the authors about offering to help keep them alive. This also keeps me from throwing out links that only appear to be no longer good; some servers seem to give the "file not found" messages when congested, only to produce the requested page at a quieter hour. In the future, though, I hope to label those that are "dead" and those that appear to be, for your convenience.

I have tried to make the pages relatively short (20k or less) out of respect to those who have browsers of limited capacity. If the page you are looking at exceeds this, you can expect it to be broken down into smaller pages as soon as possible. If you're using WebTV and you get the "this page is too big to be shown completely" message, you can try clearing out your browser by switching off and on again, or switching to another user and back again, and going directly to the page you are trying to view.

Although I have planned and promised in the very near future to make the original, "no-frills" pages also available for those who would prefer to read and print them without graphics, it's quickly proven that it may be unrealistic. With the latest additions of illustrations to these pages, the generous allotment of space provided by GeoCities is rapidly running out, and decisions will have to be made. Without foregoing non-graphics version of these pages, editing any "chit-chat" out of the "Chronos Chronicles", and other drastic concessions, even the long-intended and now much-delayed "Ganymede's Garden" project may not prove possible at all.

It's very important to me to provide illustrations, so you can see some of what I see, and so that you don't have to just take my word for things... and especially so you don't have to go trudging off to your local library at 3 a.m. in a blizzard just for a look!...

I hope to continue to provide these images along with text. My sincerest apologies to anyone who is inconvenienced or disappointed by this. If there is any way to provide that the users of these pages in general can somehow select such options for themselves, I will be happy to try to provide this as soon as time allows.

Peace & Brightest Blessings, and

Happy 1999 To All!

For many, many lifetimes, Chronos Apollonios may never have been the wisest of philosophers, but he has certainly been the most handsome (giggle)... and now, let's move a little closer to the truth... This is the image I'll eventually be adding to the upper left corner of all of the pages on this site, so you can tell where you are at a glance, and so there's a better sense of continuity to these pages.

The Tarot images are also intended to serve this purpose, and they're chosen as carefully as possible to match the theme of the page. In a great many cases, their themes fit the great magickal archtypes, and you can include their content and context with the other images on the pages. Often, they are great sources of clues to the magick in question.

Notice most often I spell "magic" with a "k"-"magick", because this is Aleister Crowley's invention to distinguish "occult" magick from stage magic. Especially with today's search engines, this standardization would be lovely, so those looking for occult material don't end up with thousands of pages on card tricks... and vice versa! Lastly, in case you were wondering, I use a lot of black backgrounds not because I'm pagan, or morbid, but believe it or not, it simply reminds me a lot of writing on a chalkboard, and I like it. Even I can only stand so much, however, so not all the pages have black backgrounds... which is one more reason for more use of distinguishing features that lend to the sense of continuity of these pages.

NEW! Ganymede's Garden

I'm celebrating Mabon of 1998 by introducing this new feature of this Home On Olympus, devoted to essays on the traditional arts of herbalism, interpretive herbalism and the Doctrine of Signatures, featuring amazing things about plants and their uses you're highly unlikely to find anywhere else in the world, and extended resources for gardening, plant-finding, seed exchanging and otherwise taking on the indescribable adventure of Stewardship of the Living and Sacred Earth.

GANYMEDE'S GARDEN GARDEN RESOURCES

The Chronos Chronicles

Being assembled here are excerpts from my posts to Occulthaven, rather lightly edited. There was no substitute for the brave bright and beautiful contributions from listowners and listmembers, the wonderous wealth and diversity of knowledge, enthusiasm and experience, nor the spirit of exchange and compassion that made the Occulthaven list a family in the truest sense of the word...

Due to various limitations, only excerpts from my own posts appear here. I am also including various posts sent to members before the actual inception of the list, and some material submitted to the Arcana list.

I have selected material to best represent various ideas and notions that I have. While they are not beyond anyone to come up with without my help, they are things that I certainly hear too rarely out in the world... if I hear them at all... So If you're the type to tell 'em someone told you so, tell 'em I told you so, if you like...

"The legends (worded in the ancient tribal hymn) lie cradled in the seagull's call
And all the promises they made...
Do you believe in the day? Do you? Believe in the day!
The Dawn Creation of the Kings has begun.
Soft Venus (lonely maiden) brings the ageless one.
Do you believe in the day?
The fading hero has returned to the night -- and fully pregnant with the day, wise men endorse the poet's sight.
Do you believe in the day? Do you? Believe in the day!..."
(Jethro Tull, "Thick As A Brick")
