The words “sublime” and “numinous” have shifted in meaning somewhat over recent years. The word “sublime,” I presume, would now generally be interpreted to mean something of particularly great beauty, or an action particularly well executed.

Beside the fields of rye and flax
there is a road that leads to birches,
pocked with dark puddles and tank tracks,

I want Counter-Currents’ forthcoming Collin Cleary book What is a Rune? to have a cover as beautiful as that of his first book, Summoning the Gods. But I have failed to find an appropriate image. Thus I am turning to our readers by having a cover image contest. (more…)
