Pretty damn good, although inevitably some are a lot better than others. Godrons' certainly carving out an interesting niche for himself. Personally look forward keenly to seeing Van Melson being played by the late Bertrand Russell; at some point in the near future. And yes I'm quite aware that he's dead, I'm not a fool, but surely that should a mere inconvenience given the arcane resources of this channel ?

I'm also a fan of van Melsen. Although the investigator is written as reassuringly long in the tooth, both the mysteries and cryptids feel fresh.

As someone who has been around the mythos for many decades as well as been in and around surrounding communities such as Thelemites, Typhonians, Discordians and whatnot I have heard a ton of mythos stories (my old Lodge back when I was a more “mainstream“ Thelemite in the 20 10s was called Phoenix Lodge but back in the 80s it was split between 2 local “bodies“: Phoenix and The Church of The Starry Wisdom... and yes it is in Canada and yep my old Lodge is why in the Mythos it is said some Starry Wisdom activities still persist in Canada... our bad I suppose) this truly is one of the best modern additions I have come across in a while. Would love to see more from this author and similar styles. Thanks for all you do H.B (I mean you! Not the other one.. he‘s a bit of a dolt... the Thelemites reading this will either avidly agree or leave an angry comment because I dared insult their King... to the latter: it is all just in good fun. Praise Bob, Hail Eris, etc etc) L.V.X

[@tamlandipper29]

So there is an actual cult by the same name?

[@thishandleistacken]

@tamlandipper29 Yep but alas no longer... probably for the best. There is a lot of weird history around it. Starry Wisdom Oasis (Oasis is a small Lodge in this tradition) was a name created for a group which favoured the more Typhonian Order/Kenneth Grant (check those names out, nuts traditon and character) but it no longer exists. Phoenix Lodge does though. You can find a lot of data on the historical Starry Wisdom online at "Parareligion The O-T-O" phenomenon if you look up that plus "Starry Wisdom" you should find it all. The modern use of it comes a lot from Robert Anton Wilson's books and he was involved with (and jokingly declared himself and all people the "Outer Head" or leader in non-wack talk) of the tradition after members sent him and dozens of others modified Discordian Pope Cards... long story... but follow the breadcrumbs I've mentioned and you'll find quite the rabbit hole

A Robinson is a reference to William Heath Robinson, a popular cartoonist who drew what we would see as Wallace & Gromit style contraptions. There is one specific machine now at Bletchley called a Heath Robinson, but the term could equally apply to any clever device. Hence June is implying Professor Clark is very clever, but possibly too clever for her own good. It's also a veiled hint to a lack of humanity...

What is “a Robinson”?

[@tamlandipper29]

As in the shownotes, a robinson was slang at Bletchley (and wider society to a degree) for any over complicated and clever Wallace and Gromit style machine. Bletchley pioneered the use of mechanical and electronic systems for infomation processing - possibly influenced by the use of automation aboard Royal Navy ships for fire control.

[@Kikilang60]

The United Kingdom culture is still dominated by the second world war. The late nineteenth lends itself to horror. The older stories plunged those waters. It's nice to see someone apply horror to the second world war. Not that post-war British writers didn't stir that soup. It's a shame post-war fiction is under copyright.

[@tamlandipper29]

There is a degree of tension in using WW2, because the whole zeitgeist was the antithesis of gothic decay. The House of Usher would probably have been taken over by the War Office, and used to train commandos. Clearly in this case I've leaned into it, a bit like On the Beach, which looks at man-made atomic age horror. Although the Chestertonian theme isn't abandoned. To be human is inherently a rebellion against a vast uncaring cosmos.

While the overarching story of the cipher and the slow unraveling of the mystery was well crafted, the story unfortunately reeks of 2024 'girl boss' feminism and vulgarity and general anti-christ jabs. The author isn't fooling anyone into believing that "Christian" woman with the dog bit wasn't for any other reason than to make a dig at the 'sToOpId IgNoRaNt ChRiStIaN'. I don't care if you have a single case of the use of the f-word from the 1800's, that's not how ladies spoke in the 40's, and just because some women worked on the enigma code, this does not lend nearly sufficient credence to this whole 'only-the-wAmEnZ can solve the mystery' premise. But to the author's credit, whether by accident or by intention (almost certainly the former), the feminists in these kinds of stories almost always reveal how depraved they are. At the end when Alice asked if June 'told them to stop fighting' only to find out she hadn't, that solidified June's true objective. Proving her worth as the 'girl boss' was evidently more important to her than literally saving the world or at least doing her part. Apparently, they already had cracked the message in December, yet June was only willing to deliver a decode in January despite the story making it a point to recount the continued ongoing naval battles. June was more concerned with her 'girl boss' reputation, her *pride,* than delivering the dire warning as soon as possible to the higher ups regardless of how would be received. She probably reasoned to herself that the higher ups wouldn't believe her team anyway because of mIsOgYnY, so she opted to deliver a decoded message weeks later that could at least be construed as being Japanese naval intelligence conveniently with no explanation of the general consensus from her team of the true meaning of the message. Hey, the world might end by February, but at least the asshole male brass will have to acknowledge her, amirite?
