Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?



One of us! One of us! One of us!

The Westering Sun

"Came a beautiful fall day, warm and languid, palpitant with the hush of the changing season, a California Indian summer day, with hazy sun and wandering wisps of breeze that did not stir the slumber of the air. Filmy purple mists, that were not vapors but fabrics woven of color, hid in the recesses of the hills. San Francisco lay like a blur of smoke upon her heights. The intervening bay was a dull sheen of molten metal, whereon sailing craft lay motionless or drifted with the lazy tide. Far Tamalpais, barely seen in the silver haze, bulked hugely by the Golden Gate, the latter a pale gold pathway under the westering sun. Beyond, the Pacific, dim and vast, was raising on its sky-line tumbled cloud-masses that swept landward, giving warning of the first blustering breath of winter."

Best excerpt I got off thefreedictionary.com ever. >_> This is like the first time I have ever seen my ancient, ancient member title be used in a sentence.

And for those of you who actually bothered to read the entirety of the text, "the westering sun" is used in the most kickass context ever. Tres Californian... IN TEH BAY AREAA~ =3
What's more awesome is that the passage was written by Jack London, the same guy who authored the credo I currently have on my signature (in crimson text).

Technically, I ripped off the title from a character in Advent Aeon, my GS fanfiction. xP It was an attempt to make my Temple-persona oriented towards Sol Clan (I was an exception to the no-customary title policy at the time). My theme has always been more sun-time related, or that of the stellar in general.

Something mind-blowing I just noticed...
"Far Tamalpais, barely seen in the silver haze, bulked hugely by the Golden Gate, the latter a pale gold pathway under the westering sun."

This line symbolic for another reason: "Tamalpais" is the name of the mountain behind the fog/"silver haze" in my current avatar.
... I'm getting more and more Californian as the days go by. >__>
