What’s All This About Then?

I’ve grappled with this this question enough times in the past that an appropriate answer might actually be: “The Shrine of Insanity is a website where I constantly attempt to define what the Shrine of Insanity is about.” And that description is sort of apt, because it conjures in my mind a kaleidoscopic hall of mirrors, a never-ending cascade of reflections.

Every reflection is unique, granted its own version of events by the particular character of the reflective surface that you are looking into; whether it’s the polished shop window of a fashionable boutique, a cobwebbed mirror left neglected in a back room, or the reflection of yourself in the polarised sunglasses of a passing stranger from the future.

And so, I guess that’s what the Shrine is about. Not self-reflection, although I do my fair share of that, but a reflection of the universe at large, filtered through me. I’m not sure what good that is to anyone, but it’s the closest thing I can come up with to a conclusive answer.
