Wilson's Almanac Scriptorium home

 

Welcome, guest. I intend to place this introductory matter beneath the animated masthead above, on each page of the Almanac, because many readers arrive for their first time and don't know their way around.
I'm aware that it might be a nuisance to some, but feel free to use, or ignore, any links, and scroll down to other matters if you wish. Thank you, and bright blessings to you. Pip

Entire site, and owner/webmaster, Pip Wilson, are 'Under Reconstruction'

For in a hard-working society, it is rare and even subversive to celebrate too much, to revel and keep on reveling: to stop whatever you're doing
and rave, pray, throw things, go into trances, jump over bonfires, drape yourself in flowers, stay up all night, and scoop the froth from the sea.

About our main image, above
The god Janus guides the revolution of time. Adapted from a frontispiece and verse explanation in Heath, James, A Brief Chronicle, Folger Shakespeare Library, 2nd ed. (1663).

Janus represents the purpose of the Wilson's Almanac Book of Days, as he is the god of change and transitions such as the progression of past to future, of one condition to another, of one vision to another, and of one universe to another. You can read more about this Roman god at December 17 and  January 1  in the Book of Days.

*Special acknowledgement
In mid-2006, Almaniac Diana Schuetz from Wyoming, USA, offered to make proofreading and other suggestions to improve the Wilson's Almanac Book of Days, a promise that she fulfils regularly with élan, insight and distinction. Thank you, Diana!

This annoying box will disappear in a few seconds, I promise.

The Book of Days is my 4-million word free gift to the world. Corny as it might sound, I consider it part of my rent for living on this beautiful planet.

The
Supporters link is in the menu bar at the top of each page. All I ask in exchange for your visit is that you click that link before you go. Just one click. Fair trade?
