DEC 27, 1999 - The Halcyon is a prime example of how a website can be virtually formless and devoid of content, while at one and the same time full to overflowing with both. This ain't no koan, and I'm not playing Zen tricks to close out the old year. With its vast but savvy selection of links to online "humanistic, transpersonal and quantum psychology" resources - a collection that includes some astrology - The Halcyon raises link collecting to an art. (If metamorphosis is your idea of art, at any rate. And if not, then what the hell: work your way through this site, and you're pretty well guaranteed to pick up a decent university-level liberal arts education along the way.) Got a few months to spend getting started in the pursuit of enlightenment? Then drop by The Halcyon, start clicking, keep your mind open and your wits about you . . . and see what develops. Just remember the cardinal rule: don't panic.
Technical note: Web Site Garage rates The Halcyon fair over-all, poor in load time (84.94 seconds on a 28.8k modem). In comparison, the page you're now reading rates good in both categories (with a load time of 12.54 seconds at 28.8k).
