After a gap of far too many years, my author’s mentor persona is making a comeback. This is parallel with me publishing in print again after a gap of more than five years.

So Time Restored, a novella, will be out this month – a nice way of me reminding myself of the publishing process.

And the first book in the Chromatic Arcana series, a far more substantial tome, will be out by the Summer Solstice.

What is a Bookwright? I came across the very notion of a ‘bookwright’ in a dream, after attending a workshop at a book festival with a playwright. It turned out that they don’t just write the script but get involved with staging, lighting, music and the actors. So I realised writing a book isn’t just about getting the words out on paper. Rather, it is about the transformation from non-author to author and all the doors that opens … Read more on Substack

Of course, much has happened in the publishing world since the Bookwright first arrived back in 2006. And I now have 20 of my own books under my belt. Accordingly, I now cover the new and myriad ways to get published and how we can use AI as our writing buddy and co-creator.

So if there’s a book inside you waiting to get out, get in touch – and note that I am available on a hourly basis but if you invest in my course, Channeling for Authors, that includes your first hour of mentoring.

Dear Reader

It is said that we are all walking a path home together. And, that said, it would be pretty boring if we all went the same way and walked it in the same manner.

So I have already made three grades of advancement available in my de-mystery school, The Adytum – namely Neophyte, Acolyte and Adept. And, as you up-grade, you can recoup your initial investment as you go.

To make things even easier though, and more affordable, each course is available individually. What’s more, what ever you invest can be recouped should you want subsequently take one of the grades of initiation.

The Flexible Path

a smorgasbord of courses you can now jump in with one of these 12 courses, all affordably priced so if you want more time, more luck, more inspiration or more love, dive right in take your 1st step today

ask the AdytumGPT and if you are not even sure where to start, ask my custom GPT by sharing your current issue or opportunity you can even get a free combined Tarot and i-Ching reading ask the oracle

Remember that nobody has to follow the same path and I will be there to support you along the way in the Adytum community …

p.s. back next time with news of my forthcoming book, The Chromatic Arcana … want to know more about it and even to be a beta reader?

​Read about the project on Substack …​

I just checked and it’s been over six weeks since I last sent out an email broadcast. I hope you appreciate the philosophy to only to talk when you have something to say and to share.

​If you are missing my missives though, do subscribe to my Substack where I am posting at least weekly ..​

Even though externally it might seem I have been hibernating, there is much that is stirring and coming into fruition for the year ahead, now that ‘spring has sprung’

​

What’s Occurring?

New Course : Planes of Overstanding This is the first of at least five advanced alchemical courses. It’s an exploration of our intrinsic higher dimensional nature, how to tap into these aspects and use them in the earth plane. Take the course

New Course Structure I’ve given my vast repository of online courses a bit of a spring clean too. You can now take any individual course, as a taster, and recoup your initial investment if you choose to widen and deepen your study, with the ‘Grade of Adept’. Start your journey here

New Book : The Chromatic Arcana This is the real reason I’ve been hibernating. I have just written a new book I hadn’t planned about an entirely novel aspect of the Major Arcana of the Tarot. What’s more, I wrote it with AI and there are two more books to come on what will become my Magnum Opus. Sneak Preview

As always, thanks for reading and catching up with where I’m at. I’ll update you again when the book is out and as and when the next courses are available.

Keep safe and healthy as we transition these turbulent times and do get in touch if I can help or support you in any way … I’m here for you …

luv, luk & lux

p.s. I am continuing to upload free meditations to Insight Timer​

​

While I am continuing to upload free content to Insight Timer, my focus is shifting this year as I am working on not one but two new books that I didn’t plan to write.

The Insight Timer app is one place I am dropping sneak previews, along with some new 8 hour long sleep tracks and some shorter, fun meditative tracks.

The multimedia and live capabilities offered by Substack is where my real focus will lie. I’ll also be sharing more about the new books and why and how I used AI in their genesis and creation.

For more details, find out why towards the end of last year, I set out my plans to serialise four different strands over 12 moon orbits.

​You can read about the schedule here …​

What’s coming up

A typical ‘moonth’ So each new moon sees an exploratory article about new AI potential. My channeled Soulwaves Insertions short stories are serialised on the 1st quarter. The Full Moon sees a new meditation which I may switch to a live session from April. On the 3rd quarter I am sharing how to co-write a book with AI. You may see the odd ‘waxing lyrical’ thought piece too, as the fancy takes me. Subscribe here

Substack for the Spiritually-minded Join me and the wonderfully inspiring Treacy O’Conner this Friday (13th Feb) at 2pm UK time for an exploration on how we are using the platform Join us live

So do subscribe to keep up with my really new stuff … and paying subscribers will help me maintain my creative output PLUS you get access to course materials from my Adytum de-mystery school.

​and do subscribe to Treacy’s stack too where you will get access to her regular live meditations …​

As we slide into a new year, our resolutions can quickly go by the wayside as life overtakes and gets in the way.

Sometime though, all we need is the simplest of nudges and assistance to point us in a direction we didn’t even know existed.

Here’s two resources to help you in this regard – one completely free and one for existing and new students of the Soul Path course in the Outer Sanctum of the Adytum.

So Reader, are you ready to point yourself along a new path?

​

Free Combined Tarot & I-Ching Reading AI is exceptionally good at helping us make 1+1=3. So I asked it to create a new protocol that runs in my custom AdytumGPT where you enter a question, quandary or opportunity. It then gives you a combined Tarot and I-Ching reading to give you insight in a way neither divinatory system quite delivers by itself. Get your reading today

A Nudge for your Soul Sometimes we feel we are right on the cusp of a new and exciting opportunity, yet it frustratingly remains out of reach. I’ve created a new protocol, that again runs in my custom AdytumGPT, to give you a gentle push in a direction you perhaps had never imagined. Existing students get immediate access to it and it’s one of the courses for acolytes in the Adytum. Step into a new way of being

Note that all the courses in for the Acolyte and Adept levels in the Outer Sanctum of the Adytum are similarly augmented by AI-enabled protocols.

So we begin a new orbit of the Sun and put our best feet forward again … hoping for a brighter and more stable external world.

The only ‘world’ though that we do have ownership over and control of is our internal world. Let me share what I have lined up and I hope you will find one or more of these initiatives will help you to shape and harmonise your internal and external worlds over the coming year.

What’s occurring in 2026?

All Change, All Aboard At the end of last year, I completely re-architected the Adytum. So rather than tiers of products, with increasing complexity and price, there are now four grades. The Outer Sanctum has three grades – Neophyte, Acolyte and Adept – and the Inner Sanctum, the grade of Initiate. Plus all courses for the Acolyte, Adept and Initiate grades are now augmented by protocols for AI. There’s also a new free entry-level course called Living Mindfully, Timefully & Kindfully.

Stacking in Tune with the Moon I am so loving the creative freedom that Substack has brought, along with it being a place full of wonderful Like Minds to hang out with. I’ve now got a whole year’s content mapped out, timed to the phases of our closest planetary neighbour. Read the full article

Magnum Opus Extended This year, I have some finishing touches to apply to the Inner Sanctum of the Adytum. At the end of last year though, the third book in my trilogy on the Tarot emerged and will be my prime focus for the first few ’moonths’. The image is a clue of what’s to come. I’ll be revealing what it’s about and documenting my progress in Substack – and also generating a guide on how to use AI for writing and marketing a book. This content will become a new module for the Channeling for Authors course.

I hasten to add that these are my plans but if you have any suggestions or augmentations, let me know – or if you want to share yours, I’d love to know what you are up to.

So wishing this next orbit of our home star, along with the 12 orbits of our Moon, are you best yet.

Luv, Luk & Lux
