John McCannon recently published "Passageways to Wisdom: Nicholas Roerich, Maurice Maeterlinck, and Symbols of Spiritual Enlightenment," in the summer 2004 issue of Russian Review. He also took a walk on the academically wild side, with "Shamanic Motifs in Fin-de-Siècle Russian Art," which appeared in the spring 2004 issue of the Journal for the Academic Study of Magic. John will be popping to England for a conference this weekend, presumably by aircraft.
