Sol Aris
From The Book of THoTH (Leaves of Wisdom)
Sol Aris is better known around the Internet simply as Sol, the moniker he's been using since the late 1990's on the many forums and mailing lists where he appeared. This is the pen-name of researcher Shaul Volkov, from the town of old Jaffa.
Sol was lucky to have had an extremely varied background, which has prepared him for a life of research into the esoteric topics. He was born in Russia and grew up in the United States, worked as a lawyer for many years, and as a computer programmer for a few more. He has also been a rock guitarist and singer since the early eighties, and participated in numerous fringe theater and stand-up comedy productions, for some of which he designed the costumes. He has led several communes, though unfortunately none of them proved viable. He was a political activist in his youth, but left that road long ago.
He has done his military service twice (in two countries), and is proud to report having been kicked out both times. Sol spends a fair portion of his time making silly faces at cats.
Since early 2005 Sol has been devoting himself exclusively to research and writing, mostly about topics connected with the Quest for the Holy Grail. Initially he was posting his thoughts and philosophy on an obscure mailing list, and had also written many lengthy messages on these subjects on the Daily Grail and Cult of Dan Brown forums. Sol has also been interpreting dreams for many years, with some degree of success.
Sol's extremely bizarre home once received a write-up from a local design journal, where more strange pictures of him can be seen (sadly accompanied by script that no-one can understand). Further depictions of his life can be browsed in the Book-of-Thoth Gallery, which kindly allows to publish such outlandish material. One can observe real life scenes of a Beach Festival in April of 2002, The Boombamela, as well as still more ego-boosting personal shots.
Here's is a complete list of Sol's articles:

The Reston Caper
In July 2007 Sol was suddenly compelled to start publishing his findings from a murder investigation he conducted two years previously. The story revolves around an unsolved murder of a teenage girl in a small town in the US, and looking into the murder had eventually led Sol to find the actual Holy Grail itself. Here are the chapters of the Reston Caper, as originally published on his yahoogroup.
