I have been keeping commonplace books for over twenty years and now have ninety odd completed ones. As a side project I keep,a dictionary of unusual words I come across. The rest of my time I just waste!

Thank you for sharing this magnificent, and beneficent, portal into your mind. Really, there is a lot I want to talk about with you. I will make a special effort to read and reread this.

I'm working on a Commonplace Book right now. It's about many things on the topic of the Philosophy of Nature, but also Magic, and Food. It's called THIS IS GASTROMANCY.

You might like the Glossary. It is a work in progress:

I think well of you. I'll be seeing you.

Substack is a community of mind. Let me ask you to join me in conjuring up an interest in GASTROMANCY, as Ken Miura terms it. Let’s look into it. We all love flattery. Thanks to Ken for a hearty dose. Best to all, Jerome
