Celebrating My Dad
I remember one day a few years ago looking around a cemetery with Dad. We were researching our family name together. I heard my Dad say something like ‘Oh my God” and looked up to see him appearing very pale and shocked. He was looking at a headstone that read “Charles Neville Vasey”. What was astonishing was that this Charles Neville Vasey had been born in the same year as our Dad but died quite young. Dad was shaken but I know he was also very happy to have lived so much longer than his namesake. I can truly say that I have never met anyone like my Dad. He somehow found a way to develop and share interests with all three of his sons no matter how different we

One of my favorite books is Comte De Gabalis. I was introduced to it by Gary L. Stewart, founder of the CRC who simply suggested that I should read it. That was several years ago and I continue to read and re-read this book. Do I understand it? Nope. I get glimpses from it and it makes me think a lot but I just keep reading it and reading it. What I would really like to do I suppose is start a bit of a discussion about this book and its meaning. So if anyone out there reads this – chip in please….. If you haven’t read it then consider picking up a copy of it and then having a bit of a discussion perhaps?

I learned yesterday of the untimely passing of Brain O’Neill. I didn’t know Brian that well but I had met him on a number of occasions at various weekend rituals. He was a character and someone who always had time for you. His wisdom shone brightly and, to me, he represented the SOL as much as anyone can. I know he will be missed by many. Thanks Brian. Our conversations meant a lot to me.

For some time I have been dissatisfied with the look and feel and indeed, content, of Asteroth’s Domain. So I have revamped the site and I trust that you like it. From now on the site will be just me blogging along with information about books and things I may publish etc. However, I have also rebuilt Asteroth’s Forum which will now be an integral part of Asteroth’s Domain. Yes – it has a different look and feel and it is a separate site – but I also wanted a place for book reviews, poetry and interaction. The last time I built a discussion site it got so clogged with spam that I ended up deleting it. This time, I am using a more powerful platform that I am confident
