Hermetic Library Newsletter #174

Happy ‘nother trip around the sun day!

The sun has entered Gemini, so happy Gemini solar-month everyone! Not for nothing, whilst today on the library calendar is Feast of Hermes, it is also the birthday of Bob Dylan and me. Yep, today’s the anniversary of my birth. Happy ‘nother trip around the sun day! If you’re reading this, and aren’t already supporter, consider, even if just for 1 month, helping out, as a gift to me today? Become an ongoing Patron, or just toss a coin in the tip jar; everything helps keep the library, me, and the library cats going.

Did the usual this week, mostly updating and added stuff to Hermeneuticon, along with other ongoing work on site, blog, and socials.

I’ve three packages to open which I’ll probably post this week to the blog, with things for the next merch/postal mailing to Patrons. I’m still getting something else sorted for it, so it’s not ready, but it is getting closer!

Thank you for visiting and being a reader at Hermetic Library. You help me be of service and make the work of the library meaningful. Especial thanks to each and every ongoing Patron on Patreon and other supporters for making the work of the library possible!
