Sub Rosa, Where Science and Magic, Myth and History Meet, The Daily Grail Presents.

Hello, and welcome to the first issue of Sub Rosa magazine. I hope you get as much enjoyment from reading the magazine as we did in putting it together. Please feel free to contact us with your thoughts about our new baby. And it is a baby – each issue we intend to add more content and new features to this newborn. I hope you stay with us as we watch it grow.

Why the name, I hear you ask? Well firstly, because it just popped into my head without any logical analysis, and I always tend to trust my intuitive side (on the odd occasions when it graces me with its presence). Secondly, I find it very apt: the name originates in the Roman myth of Cupid giving a rose to Harpocrates (the baby Horus) as thanks for his ability to keep a secret. The Romans decorated the ceilings of banquet rooms with roses to remind guests that what was spoken within was ‘sub rosa’ (under the rose) – that is, in confidence.
