Mercurius, an arts, literary and current affairs magazine.

I am so pleased to be regularly contributing to this dynamic and original project. So far you can read Finding aether in the everyday, Remembering, and A guided meditation. Their newsletter is truly deserving of a space in your inbox.

Below is a bit more information about the concept and what you might discover...

"Mercurius is the animating principle that dwells inside all things. It is the breath that causes worlds to move; the heart-beat of a song; the sadness and the beauty of a troubled time; the integration of light and dark, death and life; the beginning and the end of every search for truth and meaning; the base metal and the gold; the emptiness and the fullness of time.
The genius of truth lies in perspective. Unfortunately, in this world of endless information, perspective is easily lost. We hope Mercurius will help you find it. We can’t pretend to have all the answers, only vivid clues. The important thing is to articulate the fresh perspective, the thought that isn’t being aired elsewhere, but touches something vital.
Our site is split into five sections:
Poetry of Life: literary essays
Society: reflections on contemporary civilisation
Transitions: building a fairer, happier future
Images: objects of beauty
Music: reflections on music and original songs
Every week we send out a themed e-mail newsletter. Please do sign up. It is entirely free! And the content is beautiful, a welcome respite for your week. "
