It was the fourth lightswitch I tried... the wiring in this apartment is so messed up...
Okay, now that I can see my notes... I did way much less research on alchemy than I thought I did. I still have loads of stuff to talk about, got a lot of great ideas about, stuuuff, but I don't feel like writing very much right now...

Apparently, I've got access to JSTOR here through the college library. Which is awesome. JSTOR has access to Penn State University Press's journal Preternature, which... which is a useful resource to have, certainly. I've been skimming ideas just from the publically available article abstracts up till now, but now I can actually... read, the articles, in it.
Preternature provides an interdisciplinary, inclusive forum for the study of topics that stand in the liminal space between the known world and the inexplicable. The journal embraces a broad and dynamic definition of the preternatural that encompasses the weird and uncanny—magic, witchcraft, spiritualism, occultism, esotericism, demonology, monstrophy, and more, recognizing that the areas of magic, religion, and science are fluid and that their intersections should continue to be explored, contextualized, and challenged.So. Ending here for the day? Short post, inserting a jump break would be cheap, so I won't.
