(my, how time does fucking fly...!)

the latest Episode of the Hansel and Gretel Code is 043:

Does the pope shit in the woods? or: 🎵 Are you Experienced? 🎵

In Episode 43 we finally get the bottom-line scoop on Gretel’s crying jags, and answer the 2 burning questions of Western Culture and Civilization over a couple of hot pastrami on ciabattas

I'm getting close to finishing up the script for episode 44... after which I'm ready to fast forward right to the Gingerbread House — and the blockbuster revelation of the entire fairytale...

stay tuned...

thanks to everyone who decided to tune in every day...

please do take a listen to the Hansel and Gretel Code podcast...

if Astrology is the short game for your Intuition — Hansel & Gretel is the long game...

***

let me know what you think about things so far...

talk to me, why dontcha...?

as I've said before, speeding up the production process (not only for all the busy-work it requires, but also for the kind of good, literary editorial help and guidance I could use) would require hiring outside help...

and that's just not gonna be possible without the grace of your support...

heartfelt thanks to every one of youse who've so far blessed my efforts!!!

I've always considered myself a one man band on-line, but I've come to understand that you, my audience, are as much a part of the material I'm able to share as are the centuries (and millennia) worth of authorities I've studied, and who have always influenced whatever work I've been able to accomplish... 

grazie a tutti quanti...
