About Beds of Purple

beds of purple is a combination of my personal blog, links to other interesting blogs and sites, a little bit of magick, a dash of politics, stirred with some nature and conservation stuff, plus my photos and sprinkled with, well, me….

Please use “Pages” to the right to explore beds of purple.  If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email me:

Behold! these be grave mysteries; for there are also of my friends who be hermits. Now think not to find them in the forest or on the mountain; but in beds of purple, caressed by magnificent beasts of women with large limbs, and fire and light in their eyes, and masses of flaming hair about them; there shall ye find them. Ye shall see them at rule, at victorious armies, at all the joy; and there shall be in them a joy a million times greater than this. Beware lest any force another, King against King! Love one another with burning hearts; on the low men trample in the fierce lust of your pride, in the day of your wrath.

Aleister Crowley – Book of the Law II-24

“’But I don’t want to go among mad people,’ Alice remarked.
‘Oh, you can’t help that,’ said the Cat. ‘We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.’
‘How do you know I’m mad?’ said Alice.
‘You must be,” said the Cat. ‘or you wouldn’t have come here.’”

Lewis Carroll

Just as a note – all the essays and poetry and many of the photos, etc…are written or taken by me unless otherwise noted. I attribute everything that does not come from my head.
I have no problem if someone would like to share it as long as it is attributed properly and you ask first.
