Clarion Site Update

Oct 11, 2025 |

Greetings, friends of Clarion Journal, At the end of September, Typepad, the internet platform that has housed the Clarion Journal for the past 20+ years, informed us that they are shutting down. They gave us a one-click export option to save our files for transport to a new platform (in this case, WordPress). Happily, we were able to restore the entire catalogue of digital files. Unfortunately, Typepad’s export file did not properly preserve linked images or pdf attachments for the transfer. We’re very sorry for the loss of that data and hope to manually restore some of it over time. You may also notice a reduction of new articles in the short term but Clarion will stay live. For those who follow Bradley Jersak, please find him on Substack HERE.

WARRIOR OF GOD Syed M Shah The glint of the sun; Warms the soul. From the cold draft; That seeps thru pores; From the darkened hills. A black tide of struggle; Lingering like a plague; From crest to crest; Seen by eyes of this world; As an undefeatable...
