Marabout
I’ve been away, updating my first two books, Tangier Gardens and Curious Tales. At the same time I was wrapping up my series, “The Landscape Architect”.
Marabout… represents the diaphanous line that separates fact from fiction in the landscape. And that is what challenged, what fascinated CJ in my first two books.
Marabout!? What’s that?
Marabout the photo, courtesy of Jean-Claude Latombe (https://ai.stanford.edu/~latombe/mountain/index.htm), is a small part of the mysterious Moroccan landscape. IRL, you see the outside but have no idea what you will find on the inside.
In Tangier Gardens, CJ learned all about marabouts and their arcane insides. He tried to fit those experiences into his American landscape roots—his culture, his education. The result? Strange landscape stories.
You Told Me…
…there were portals…
Where are they?

We are all smiling—don’t you see it?

Mountains and Mysteries
Mountains… these dynamic mysteries can only be felt, when your receptors are open.
Mountains Are Mysterious
They take lives without mercy.
The closer you get to them the more diversified, dangerous and threatening the topography, forests, cliffs, ravines and rivulets become.
Mountains make clouds do things.
Under the forest cloak, the mysteries become all-consuming.
Then how do the mountains turn into something marvellous?
This is landscape.
And this is what Christopher Janus explores in Tangier Gardens.

The First Grapes
In the temperate climates of the northern hemisphere, grapes come early—but not that early. They are a sure sign that the lion of March is gone and spring is definitely here. These grapes come March and April.
But in the northern hemisphere, if you are not in a temperate climate, your seasonal clock may be in for a shock as was CJ in the Mediterranean climate of northern Morocco. He tries to come to grips with these shocks in my novel Tangier Gardens. Read a free Amazon sample via a safe, clean, secure and direct link @ https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv
2023 IS RUNNING OUT
Just for a moment… while you still have time… where does your knowledge come from?
Put aside your scientific understanding about the formation of clouds and fog… and consider this image.
Explore. The image is no clearer than your understanding of what you will find hiking into this valley. This was one of the Alpine experiences of Byron, Goethe, Tolkien and Franz Hartmann.
Who is Franz Hartmann? And why does it matter? He wrote “The Foundation of Christian Mysticism”.
Occult is an interesting throw-away domain. It is like a trash can in the science and philosophy labs where everything, that doesn’t quite fit the ‘accepted’ science or philosophy, is dumped.
Franz Hartmann wrote biographies of Jakob Böhme and Paracelsus. He drew links between the past and present.
He was of the day (b.1838, d.1912) when doctors were theologians because in medicine, doctors encounter the unexplainable. And theologians deal all the time with those things unexplainable. So we end up with a theosophical trash can of unexplainables. And those things, the unexplainables, become the reason why we have faith.
As 2024 begins, do not forget to question your sources of knowledge.
