🌬️ A Glad !

When to warm his cold fingers man blew,
And again, but to cool the hot stew.
Simple Satyr, unused
To man’s ways, felt confused,
When the same mouth blew hot & cold too!

🌱 Repost :: I Have Never Minded the Loneliness – Timothy’s book about 19th and early-20th Century hermits – is available to pre-order now!

https://lostgrave.etsy.com/listing/1846191158

6” x 9” trade paperback. 333 pages.

What compels a person to leave behind society, forsaking family, friends, and the comforts of modern life to live in solitude? The hermits of the 19th and early 20th Centuries are as fascinating as they are mysterious. These enigmatic figures often became the focus of public interest, with newspaper stories turning them into local legends, folk heroes, and symbols of a life apart.

Within these pages, you’ll discover the extraordinary lives of hermits who defied convention: John Stink, rumored to have died and risen again–more than once; William Woodruff, whose long vow of silence followed a broken heart; Brusher Mills, the serpent-hunter who sold his own snake-oil remedies; and Truman “Commodore” Downs, who claimed Mars as his homeland. Meet Adolphe-Julian Fouré, the reclusive priest who carved strange tales into Brittany’s coastal rocks, and Alice Grace, who made her home in an old bacon box, telling fortunes. From William Pester, the desert-dweller who may have inspired Nat King Cole’s Nature Boy, to the Old Leather Man, a wandering enigma clad in patchwork leather, and O.B. Joyful, the hermit some call America’s first hippie–these stories, and many more, reveal the complex lives of individuals who chose to live apart from the world.

Rich with illustrations and archival photos, this book uncovers the history, mystery, and enduring fascination of hermits and the lives they led.

Written and illustrated by Timothy Renner, along with photographs from the author’s collection. Well over 300 pages of hermit life stories and legends. “I Have Never Minded the Loneliness” contains photographs of almost every hermit whose biography appears in the book – and many more photos besides – along with Renner’s detailed pen and ink illustrations.

This book will be signed by the author. Link to etsy shop in bio.

🌞 Throughout its fabled run (2002–2013), Arthur Magazine carried the torch for countercultural writing, music, politics, and art. Every time I got my hands on a copy, I was inspired to be a better writer, publisher, and reader. Now, editor Jay Babcock is putting the Arthur archive online. 📚 About half of it is up so far. Go check it out at arthurmag.com and throw Jay a donation if you can. He and the Arthur team have cast a lot of light. 🌈 (Opening image by frequent Arthur contributor Arik Roper )

🚬☕️ Armchair Demonology
The Magical Benefits of Cultivating Bad Habits

A Fiddler’s Green Leaflet by Clint Marsh & Gerhard
12 pages, 4 illustrations, and copper foil leaf logo on the cover

Mystics and intellectuals have extolled the virtues of stimulants throughout all of human history, believing that the use of certain substances can bring them closer to the ineffable. Although arduous journeys along “the poison path” appeal to many psychonauts, there is also much magic to be found in the use of milder stimulants.

In this illustrated booklet, Clint Marsh recounts his own history with two such drugs—pipe to***co and black tea—describing the ways they have brought about creative and philosophical insights that may have otherwise eluded him.

Clint Marsh uses elements of myth, magic, folklore, and humor to help people navigate everyday life. He is the editor of Fiddler’s Green Peculiar Parish Magazine and a winner of the Bookseller/Diagram Prize.

Gerhard worked for twenty years as background ­artist and cover colorist on the Cerebus graphic novel. Since then, he has done commissioned work through GerhardArt.com, and, most recently, illustrated the Grant ­Morrison story “The Smile of the Absent Cat” for Heavy Metal.
