another attempt

I need a plan.  Pages of notes continue to pile up.  But I'm not on pace to complete this thing any decade soon.  I'd like to do it in a year or so, move on to something else.  Back to the Holy Roman Empire, I think, and my Jesuits and Rosicrucians, who are calling me.  I need a reading plan, a schedule, and I need to keep to it.  I need to take still more thorough, intense notes, start my own wiki, and start my 78 short biographies.   
I'm reading Pagan Resurrection by Richard Rudgley (melodramatically subtitled A Force for Evil or the Future of Western Spirituality?).  The most I've seen on Bureus since Churton.  I'm please to state that, in part thanks to this book, the Swedish Rosicrucian's place on the 78 no longer looks so insecure.  He may well at least stand in for neo-Pagan revival, the honored and coveted final place.
