TENDRE PRESS (now live): backstory

March 16, 2026

Over this past weekend, I decided it was time to make the infinitely revamped and transformed tendrepress.com website live. This, after an extremely long process, more like an epoch in my personal life, the last nine years.

Backstory:

I happened to be looking back through old essays in file cabinets and was utterly startled, indeed dumfounded, to recognize that probably 95% of the hundreds I’ve composed, both published and unpublished, all of which integrate personal experience with collective themes, were not only extremely well-written (in my terms) but still, damn it, relevant to life on this planet!

I say damn it, because right away, I knew that I had to somehow work with my work again. To recapitulate what this singular individual soul had expressed into our suffering world before I “died.” Sounds dramatic, I know. Is it narcissistic? Likely. And very fitting for this Saturn/Neptune in early degrees of Aries moment.

Indeed, the self-centered “narcissist” in each of us needs to raise her fiery hand and shout out loud, without a care in the world:  ME. I BEGIN! Yes. To begin again, to start over, after nobody knows how many thousands of years have passed since Saturn and Neptune both reached 0° of Aries at the same time.

Start again, start over, and, I would add, I call out to especially us old ones who have lived consciously, growing old rather than just getting old: let us recapitulate our lives with the goal of sharing what many decades of life on earth have gifted us with, the glimmering gold of wisdom now gracing the bottom of our souls, with other, younger generations, the ones who will inherit this earth.

Yes, no matter who we are. For the young ones, still of “employment age,” I advise: ignore old tottering structures, systems; ignore the fact that “jobs” are scarce. Instead: what calls out to you personally? What would you do now that would begin to fulfill the purpose for which you were born?

If your response to these questions is bafflement, then know: it is time to plumb the depths of yourself, to let go of mere approval of, “identity” for, others; time to allow who you really are to surface and express into the world, no matter what. You might find yourself alone for awhile; if so, know that you are not really alone; young pioneers are sparking everywhere.

Do that. Become a pioneer, an entrepreneur; Now is the time. We have no choice, We simply must begin (Aries) again, with both direction (Saturn) and vision (Neptune). In fact, folks, the sky’s the limit! And each of us needs to set our own trajectory into the infinitely spacious present moment that opens wide, to receive each of our offerings.

Okay, enough ranting. But then “rants” too, are part and parcel of Saturn/Neptune in Aries. Sudden spurts of energy with a certain direction, arising from nowhere . . .

Back to backstory:

I kept looking back through hundreds of decades-old essays .  . . Soon I also recognized that I was a much better writer and thinker than I am now. Not surprising. After all, I was in my prime. From 1985 on, when I got my first computer, a used Apple IIe, instantly, the flow of  thought from beyond into language through brain to fingers on keyboard, was steady and seamless. And much much faster, than even my electric typewriter! Given my Mars in Sagittarius exact opposition to Uranus in Gemini, the lifelong frustration with translating synthesized, alchemized left brain real world experience with right brain intuition — into language and then expressed, to be shared with others, was suddenly solved.

I’ll be commenting further,  on this feat, and I do consider it a huge feat, to have actually managed to get this recap project out into the world.

REGULUS entrances me into the Woo

March 12, 2026

I received a very interesting message from my friend and fellow UFO conference attendee Joan Bird, a few days ago. This refers to Chris Bledsoe, whose book, UFO of God, I have been reading, chapter by chapter, to my paralyzed, severely nerve damaged son Colin Cudmore. (He can’t raise his hands enough to read it himself.) We are both entranced by Bledsoe’s story.

Joan is similarly entranced.

Here are her notes from the above that she sent as a text over the phone. Chris is being interviewed by Barbara Lamb. (Part of Joan’s notes read like an AI transcript.)

Joan:

“Here’s a nice podcast that features Chris Bledsoe . . . talking about Easter 2026 with the knowledge coming in with Regulus . . . Hopi Blue Star that will move across the pyramid of Giza. . . red color at first, and then turning blue!”

“The Hopi blue Star Prophecy (Saquasohuh) foretells that the appearance of a blue star in the sky will signal the end of the current, corrupt world (Fourth World) and then emergence of the Fifth World. It is the final sign before the “Day of Purification,” often described as a great apocalyptic catastrophe. Key details of the prophecy include:

• Sign of the end: The Blue Star Kachina will appear in the sky, signaling the end of the current cycle.
• The Purifier: Following this, the “True White Brother” (or Purifier) will arrive, potentially bringing a period of cleansing or destruction is humanity fails to follow traditional teachings.
•  New beginning; The prophecy suggests that if the world is not destroyed by greed and destruction, a new, harmonious world will be born.
• Context: The prophecy is part of a broader set of Hopi beliefs concerning the, often, destructive impact of modern society on nature and humanity. Some interpretations connect the prophecy to various contemporary, technological, and environmental changes.

BTW: I have yet to watch the above youtube.

Meanwhile, here’s another one, World Astrology Report, with Dan Waites, the beginning of which specifically shows Bledsoe’s account of Regulus and talks about it.

Minute 4:17-12:14

“When the star of Regulus, the red star, is red on the horizon, in front of the gaze of the sphinx, before daylight, so when its sitting right on top of the horizon, before the sun comes up, that that moment would mark a change in humanity’s knowledge.”

He says Chris refers there to Easter, 2026.

Dan Waites asks where he’s getting the year 2026? Plus, he says Regulus isn’t visible at dawn then in 2026. Rather, in September.

But what he does find very interesting (and what I discovered to my surprise, yesterday, that Regulus is now in Virgo, no longer in Leo).

Waites notes that Regulus made this extraordinary, very rare, transition just before Bledsoe received his prophecy from “The Lady”, in early 2012.

Waites gives a clear description of the Precession of the Equinoxes (noting the difference between tropical and sidereal astrology) wherein Regulus, in the tropical zodiac, is gradually moving forward, at the rate of one sign every 2160 years. In 156 BC Regulus moved from Cancer to Leo. At end of 2011, on the cusp of 2012, Regulus moved from Leo to Virgo. Bledsoe first encountered the Divine Feminine in the sign of the lady, shortly after . . . 

(Leo sovereign masculine, Virgo sovereign feminine . . .)

There’s more. I do plan to listen to both these youtubes today.

Meanwhile, enjoy the woo!

And meanwhile, remember to pay most attention to what’s right in front of you: your own quotidian deeply localized LIFE!
