[edit] Events
- By this year, only the bravest kids shoot hoops at Napier Court, and never after nightfall.[1]
- Sandeep D'Souza gets his M.A. in Asian Studies from the University of Wisconsin (Madison, Wisconsin), also ending his tenure as Sanskrit instructor.[2]
- Beulah Frith bani Thig is born.[3]
- The Woodstock Festival unites a generation of Sleepers in the belief that enlightenment can come through music, drugs, tribal values and "good vibrations." The Celestial Chorus, Cult of Ecstasy, and Dreamspeakers consider this festival a watermark in the Ascension War, leading all of humanity that much closer to mass Ascension.[4] Lady Charlotte Quay is among the many who Awakens there.[5]
- Lady Charlotte Quay receives a vision (possibly during her Awakening) of An Giblin Coille the Spring Cottage, a lost Verbena Chantry.[6]
- ARPANET (the forerunner to the Internet) goes online, connecting four major universities across the US.[7]
[edit] April
- Sandeep D'Souza authors "The Crime of Orientalism" in the Bulletin of Asian Studies.[8]
[edit] July
- July 20: The Moon landing. The landing provides a victory for the Technocracy, reinforcing their view of reality. Ironically, the awe and wonder also increases Sleeper willingness to embrace the possibility of the impossible.[4]. It also triggers the Resurgence.[citation needed] Oddly, Professor Dubrius on board Victoria Station reports that no mortal has landed on the Moon.[9]
- July 21: Desmond Collingsworth, later the Virtual Adept known as Dante, is born. He's said to have Awakened before he was born.[10][5]
[edit] September
- Sandeep D'Souza authors "Victorian Occult Syncretism and Occult Sources" in the Journal of Victorian Studies.[8]
