A brief guide to the hypothesis.The full hypothesis has been archived here.Lesley Wilkinson's artwork from the 1995 edition.Interesting and fun links.Some cartoons and other recent stuff.Contact and a few notes.




The Hare hypothesis is a playful guide to the four life-scripts (friendly weakness, hostile weakness, friendly strength and hostile strength), and their relationship to atavistic trends in youth culture. At the heart of the hypothesis lies the mad March Hare, a convenient symbol of untamed youth.

The full guide can be found in the archived section. Newcomers may like to read the introduction first. Ancient venerables are invited to join the Hare in the new section. Recent stuff replying to discussion on The Matrix and Columbine up here too.

 






Old timers confused? This is the new revamped Sekhmet hypothesis. Welcome.
Thank you to everyone involved with the hypothesis in the early days - Iain.

Plus, hello and welcome to any new-comers who turned up on the noticeboards. Thanks for the input. I didn't avoid these message boards because I was trying to be mysterious or because I'm an aloof snob - I'm just not the most net savvy of people for working the damned things. Plus I don't want to come over like a windbag.

Please note, there are no printed copies of the early hypothesis to be found via this web-site. Also, badly damaged copies going for free were only kept for a year or two then the remainder were binned in the recycle skip back in the mid 1990s. There's none left.

Top illustration depicts the Angel - friendly weakness, the Bull - hostile weakness, the Lion - friendly strength, and the Eagle - hostile strength, in mandalic form; taken from The Book of Kells, possibly 9th Century.

From Kells to Hogwarts - does the inspiration for the crest of Hogwarts go back to J.K. Rowling's Christian childhood and the Book of Kells? There's an uncanny parallel going on here which might amuse some fans of Harry Potter.
