Here’s an update from Lena about the defacement of her site.

I’ve embraced the classic English response to a crisis and have made tea.
I’m feeling calmer, and hell, even philosophical. This being the Solstice, I’m choosing to rekindle faith with pagan truth.

Someone destroyed my site yet my sacred space is inviolable. As some of you will know, in ancient China, when a house caught fire and blazed, it was considered auspicious to let it burn for a time. This was believed to purge the home. Across all cultures, fire is seen as a catalyst for change and an agent of transmutation.

In my recent 100 things, I said ‘fire captivates me’ and so it does. As do the mythologies associated with this purifying force, which view fire as a transformational power. The most exquisite mythology is that of the phoenix which not only regenerated when wounded, but also rose anew from the ashes.

To those who destroyed the old site, I say fuck you; have the carcass seasoned with my contempt.

To my dear friends and gentle readers, you have my assurance that I will be back. I’ll create a new home, and each of you will be so welcome there.
Between then and now, you can still reach this wandering metawhore by mail:
magdelena@hush.com so please stay in touch for I am invisible but not silent.

My love to you all.

I figure I’ll keep her link in my blogroll anyway.
