On my way to the Bohemian Grove's Manhattan cousin, the Players... (home to Mark Twain and the Booth brothers of recent National Treasure fame) I stumbled upon the Steiner headquarters.

  Now, I have spent hours in the Jungian Center's bookstore in Murray Hill.  I've been to all of the Theosophical Society buildings from midtown on up to the geometria on 72nd street's occult ley line, but I have never been aware of this place with its quaint signage.  It interested me mainly because one of the books I am finishing up now (a Christmas present from my wife) is Steiner's Misraim Service.  Sadly, they were closed for some reason.  I'll have to double back at some point.  I then walked past the AMORC lodge's marble exterior in the refined blocks just south of Grammercy Park. 

On my way back from a film shoot at the cathedral next to the Ralph Lauren Mansion, I took time for prayer in St Patrick's Cathedral where I refilled on Holy Water and stood between the shrines of St John the Baptist 

and St John the Evangelist...

I took note of a splendid pelican in its piety upon the door.
