"The closer you are to nature, the more you appreciate its beauty. It's not just the beauty of the sights and sounds, but of... everything. I don't know how to express it. The important thing is that when you live in the forest, and not just visit it, beauty becomes part of your life, and not something you only contemplate from the outside."

- Theodore John Kaczynski

Valentinian Gnosticism

Valentinian Christianity was a prominent 2nd-century Christian Gnostic movement founded by Valentinus (c. 100–180 AD), that distinguished itself through a sophisticated synthesis of Christian theology, Platonic philosophy, and Hellenistic mysticism, positing salvation primarily through gnosis, which is the esoteric, liberating knowledge of one's divine essence. Its cosmology began with a transcendent, incomprehensible Bythos (Father) from whom thirty divine Aeons emanated into the perfect Pleroma (Fullness), a realm of divine harmony. This harmony was disrupted by Sophia's hubris, her attempt to comprehend Bythos or create without a consort, leading to her fall and the accidental morphing of matter and wisdom, producing duality. From this fallen state, the Demiurge, a lesser, ignorant, yet necessary deity, who is identified with the Old Testament god, fashioned the flawed material realm.

Humanity, in this system, comprised three distinct types: pneumatics (spirituals), bearing a divine spark from Sophia (wisdom) and destined for the Pleroma via gnosis; psychics (soulish), ordinary Christians achieving a lesser salvation through faith in an intermediate realm with the Demiurge; and hylics (material), bound to perish in matter. Salvation, revealed by Christos, who possessed an illusory, Docetic body, aimed to awaken the divine spark within pneumatics. Valentinians engaged in allegorical interpretations of noscriptures, particularly John and Paul, and practiced rituals such as baptism, chrism, Eucharist, and the supreme bridal chamber rite, symbolizing spiritual union and the rectification of primordial separation. The movement, propagated by disciples like Ptolemy and Heracleon, flourished across Rome, Egypt, and Syria, developing Eastern and Western branches.

"Christ the Word from the beginning, was from the beginning our teacher, and we never lost his teaching. Christianity was a new thing in Asia, but there never was a time when the Druids of Britain held not to its doctrines."

Robert the Bruce and the Spider

The enduring legend of Robert the Bruce and the spider, a cornerstone of Scottish folklore, recounts a pivotal moment during the early 14th century when the Scottish king, in profound despair after numerous defeats against the English, found hope by observing a spider. Historically, Robert the Bruce's path to securing Scotland's independence was filled with immense challenges; after being crowned King of Scots in March 1306 following the controversial murder of John Comyn, he suffered significant military setbacks at Methven in June and Dalry in August of that year, leading to the capture of his wife and the execution of three of his brothers. These dire circumstances forced him into a period of desperate hiding, often cited as Rathlin Island off the north Irish coast, from late 1306 until February 1307, a time when his fortunes were truly at a "low ebb." It was during this period of retreat and contemplation, according to the legend, that Bruce found refuge in a secluded cave or humble dwelling. There, he observed a small spider repeatedly attempting to spin its web, launching its silken thread to bridge a gap, only to fail and fall back. Witnessing the spider's unwavering persistence despite these repeated setbacks, and its eventual success on the seventh try, greatly impacted the king, leading him to realize that if a tiny creature could persevere, so too could he.

The first widely known written account appeared in Sir Walter Scott's Tales of a Grandfather (1827), with Scott himself acknowledging it was based on "family tradition rather than documented fact." Regardless of its mythical origins, the legend powerfully encapsulates the true spirit of perseverance that defined Robert the Bruce's historical struggle; he did indeed return with renewed vigor in February 1307, employing highly effective guerrilla warfare tactics and steadily consolidating power, culminating in the decisive victory at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, which secured de facto Scottish independence. Formal recognition of Scotland's sovereignty and Bruce's kingship was achieved through the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton in 1328.
