The Internet is wonderful; so many interesting things to read, watch and play with, but, let’s face it, there’s also a lot of crap, and sometimes it can be difficult to find the shiny bits.
To combat this, I hereby introduce Saturday Signal, Plutonica.net’s attempt to sift signal from the noise of the Internet’s occultural cacophony.
Saturday Signal will offer up a selection of articles, interviews, blogs, websites which may be of interest to our readers. Things I’ve wanted to share, but which didn’t quite merit a full post can now be shared here. And readers, if you’ve got something you’d like to highlight, please e-mail me!1
- Reality Sandwich recently published an interview with the late Robert Anton Wilson (1932-2007). The interview was conducted five years ago on July 25, 2003 by Propaganda Anonymous in Santa Cruz two days after the premiere screening of Maybe Logic
, a documentary about Wilson. The interview covers Wilson’s thoughts on politics, philosophy, American history, feminism, and…hip hop? Check it out: “Meeting with a Remarkable Man: A Talk with Robert Anton Wilson“.
- Dean Wilson, a young blogger in Ireland, posted two interesting pieces about the Golden Dawn recently in his blog Mishkan ha-Echad. The first, “What is the Purpose of the Golden Dawn?” looks at the order’s aims, while “Golden Dawn Bashing” acknowledges that while the Golden Dawn’s sources may be (more than) a little off, it remains an established, workable system.
- The LA Times published an article on Paganism on Thursday which it describes as “the first in a series of occasional articles exploring alternative cultural life around Southern California”. Written by Matthew DeBord, and titled “Paganism casts spell over followers“, it takes a wide-eyed look at neo-Paganism, but is largely sympathetic and positive, which is sort of sweet.
- Feeling crafty? Check out this piece posted in 2006 on Key 64 by animapurasit titled “The Chaos Rosary“. As you might expect, it outlines an appropriation of a Catholic rosary or japa mala with suggestions for alternate symbolic designs. The two examples illustrated depict the eight rayed star of chaos - very spiffy.
So, if you find something weird, cool or somehow noteworthy, please e-mail me about it. If you’re pro-promotion, include your name and website for extra credit. Thanks!

Great idea for a series.

Thanks!
It took me an absurdly long time to create the graphic. The Empress of Photoshop I am not.

Nice idea, and nice icon. But now it’s making me wonder how our “fun day” (Saturday) got named after the least fun god/planet of the week. Hmph.

Thanks!
I think it’s probably due to it being the last day of the week (in some calendars, anyway), but I’ll look into it and report back on Saturday. :)

I like the graphic, too. A lot of bloggers (including me under a different alias) will do a once weekly round-up of links, but it’s tough to find a unique way to announce it. Kudos for an original take on the weekly roundup.
