After way too much time the head Rhino has managed to get a handle on Dreamweaver, the new Web Manager Program. He's not good at it yet, but things are beginning to be worked on, in addtion to all else is this busiest year in at least a decade. With luck, things will now move along a little better. The first updating is in the Thiasos Olümpikos section, where the next Hellenic Year's calendar has been posted.
In the mean time you can listen to the podcast of “The Particolored Unicorn” at http://unicorn.libsyn.com
Most Pages Do Not Have Music: But Some Do. The ones that do usually include only a single playthrough. There are a couple of exceptions, where the pieces are exceptionally short.
If you hate music, or the music other people like: this is the time to turn down your sound!
Somebody recently complained to us that we didn't have a table of contents. We have a table of contents. It is below, and labeled "Table of Contents." Somebody else complained that our type was too large, requiring that one page down to see the whole table of contents, thereby making it really difficult to find things.
Are people getting lazier or stupider faster?
In response to the constant whining of people who A) don't want to hear any music that they have not heard before, B) don't want to hear any music without their previous personal approval, C) don't want music to play when the site comes up because they are viewing it on their boss's time and might get caught (only in America do criminals whine because they they are in danger of getting caught: but hey, criminals can still buy our books!), D) just don't like music in any form: we are taking the music off this first page.
For those of you who miss the Janacek: well, it is available on recordings.
People kept complaining about our orange patterned background. We have changed it to a nice restful purple. We really like purple.

An Ionic Column is not so sturdy nor strong as the Doric kind, nor yet so lofty and florid as the Corinthian sort; but it is pleasantly ornamented enough, and it will do nicely to hold the roof up.

As fast as some of us can read, Diana L. Paxson has written yet another book: this time an addition to the the wonderful canon of Avalon novels begun by Marion Zimmer Bradley with The Mists of Avalon. --Only this ain't yo' momma's Avalon book, as the cover makes clear.
Set just before The Forest House, Ravens of Avalon is the story of Budica (sometimes called Boadicea), an actual, historical,Warrior Queen, and her rebellion against the Romans; and the Last Stand of the Druids against Roman tyranny.

Dire Emergency! A part of our Marion Zimmer Bradley Page turned into Gibberish! If you happened to download it, or can translate the gibberish back into copy, please help us! The gibberish seems to have happened on the home computer and then got uploaded without our notice. We really do need to figure out how to effectively back up this enormous web page! The situation is as ineffective as Swiss cheese!
The Way Back Machine apparently went online a week or so after the crash.

Greyhawk is the nom de musique of a wonderful composer who has worked in a lot of different idioms, including orchestral and film scores. The compositions featured on this site are, literally, magickal in nature. If you are a fan of the Bradley/Paxson Avalon novels, there is a good chance you may enjoy, in particular, Blissful Magick: Spiral of the Celtic Mysteries. --But the other work on the site, Shaman Journey, is equally good listening.
Greyhawk uses some of the tools of New Age music to make something a little more satisfying, and at times a lot more exciting, in the precise usage of the word. Give it a try!

Alternatively, you may wish to visit Firehair Designs. Fiona is the neice of the Head Rhino, and an artist of growing repute. We are perhaps prejudiced in saying that we think her masterpiece is the wonderful painting of a White Rhinoceros (we have it on an extra large mug from which we drink, as surcease from winter's cold, our hot cocoa), but our tastes should not influence your choice of work from her wonderful selection.
This Wonderful Website was Originally Designed and Setup by the Amazing.Mr Bagel, AKA

It has been further aided and augmented by David (Excalibear) Swagerty of Oakland, Ca., whose Website is www.excalibear.net Without David's help you would not be reading this, nor would I be writing this.
