Note: This is the history Miss Martindale claimed in the 2000s, none of these stories were ever mentioned before then. It's quite possible this is entirely, or partially, a fabrication.

"Milchford
It all began in Oxford, at Lady Margaret Hall in the early 1970's. A group of Sapphically inclined female students who sensibly disliked the modern world and admired the philsophical works of René Guenon found each other. An academic known as Miss Hester St. Clare (probably not her real name) was the "intellectual mentress" of the group. They became so absorbed in their own studies that some of them left Lady Margaret's in favor of their own unofficial university, which they called Milchford. Readers of Children of the Void and of the Aphrodite Cocktail Bar will recall that "Milchford" was later to be the name of an Aristasian district and the surname of Annalinde's family.

Before they eventually coined the word "Aristasia" (which may have been a tribute to Aristotle, but might also be from the Greek aristos, "best"), the group was known as the Romantics, the Olympians, or "The Mob" in reference to a night when two or three groups of them all arrived in black cars of the sort the Mafia drives in movies. They embraced the imagery of earlier, more beautiful decades, as well as feminine spirituality. In the words of Marc Sedgwick: "StClare, like Evola (though without any direct debt to him), added gender to Traditionalism. Evola was distinctly masculinist, to the extent that his absolute individual was threatened with feminization as a result of modernity; Aristasia took the opposite line, that woman was threatened with masculinization." This eventually led to their involvement with Lux Madriana."
