Surrender to the Waiting Worlds That Lap Against our Side

"Salmon, battling their way upstream in the river of their birth to their spawning grounds and leaping high against rushing waterfalls, resist the flow of tide and time, and hence are special creatures. Mysterious, valiant, and resolute, they are fitting messengers between worlds, and by extension they are the embodiment of knowledge. They swim in the rivers and wells of the otherworld, feeding on the hazel nuts that fall from the 'trees of knowledge,' and sometimes passing into the human world to deliver prophecies of their own on 'the manner of the world to come.'"

Myths

"We have come from God, and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they contain error, will also reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Indeed only by myth-making, only by becoming sub-creator and inventing stories, can Man aspire to the state of perfection that he knew before the Fall. Our myths may be misguided, but they steer however shakily towards the true harbour, while materialistic progress leads only to a yawning abyss and the Iron Crown of the power of evil."
