Editor's Notes

  1. A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. It represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world. Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools. A labyrinth is an archetype with which we can have a direct experience. Walking the labyrinth can be considered an initiation in which one awakens the knowledge encoded within their DNA.

  11. Do you not know that chaste women stay fresh much more than those who are not chaste?

Lazlo Toth was at the time 33 years old, and was under the delusion that he was Jesus Christ. I knew Mr Toth in the days and months prior to his infamous attack, and here is my story.

Gambling was prohibited an the vanities of dress were restrained by sumptuary laws.
