SAN AUGUSTIN

"Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you."
-- The Gospel of St. John 12:35

"Know thou that the darkness of the earth is ruddy, and the darkness of the air is grey, but the darkness of the Soul is utter blackness."

-- Aleister Crowley,
The Vision & the Voice
(The Cry of the 14th AEthyr)

San Augustin is the oldest city in North America -- built on the remnants of the Timucuan Village of Seloy, and dating back nearly 4,000 years. First "discovered" by the Europeans in 1513, when Don Juan Ponce de Leon first set foot in the land of La Florida in search of the Fountain of Youth.

In the 500 years since, San Augustin has grown into a small metropolis. The Oldest City, the First Coast, the Secret Capital of Florida -- San Augustin is the tourist destination for the wealthy elite of the 19th-Century onward, and eventually served as a hub of centralized capitalism in the Southern United States.

Here we find an unusual mix of Old-World charm and Big City Dreams.
