Confessions of an American Witch

In her attempts to get gold stars for her decision to nuke my Mormon wife out of my life, Khari made it clear that she thought I would be a bad father. Announcer, please . . .  How to produce an artistic genius--slide one   "Weighing in at six pounds, six ounces, we have the Riverside Shakespeare . Know the first line to that poem, or song, then this is the book for you--it has the indexes. Heavy, too. Raise a daughter hefting this once a month, and you build Supergirl , able to crush bricks." During my community college years (my 40s), me and another parent of a daughter got exposed to the idea that the way to keep Shakespeare (or any great author) alive in your memory was constant refreshment.  We had a professor who read a Shakespeare play a month. Toss in the Homer and the Milton from the class, and her daughter was sure  to have exposure to classic literature. I know that at least one kid grew up in a more enriched environment, thanks to that idea. I know becaus...

For those who care about such things, yes, I did indeed take part in the Global Bind Trump ritual this month. Used the Denver City Golf Course for my Scottish witchcraft. After months of preparation, which book got used? A planned part of my Global Bind Trump "if I have to do this every damn month while he's in the Oval Office" was to do at least one ritual on the public golf course. At this point in the blog post, I must say that I am sorry to my secret Mormon wife. She thought that my use of the public golf course as a power base for black magick and witch war activities to be wrong; she might had a golfer as a brother, given the attitude.  So before I did my ritual "in the dark of the night," I said a prayer at the Catholic Church. Virgin Mother, if it must be done, let it be done. Again, sorry Ginny, it was that Catholic Church that supports that school. That one which I threatened to send my own children to, if they misbehaved. Yes, that horrible place. I s...

Remember to love the religion of the day. We come in peace with literature. Monday be Wicca, Tuesday, hail Buddha, Wednesday Woden Tree, Thursday Hermetic lore, Friday Catholic fare, Saturday Jewish kosher, Sunday Mormon heaven. Seven choices, better by dice, chaos magic prevents reincarnation as a Texan.  You might have to be a child of the 80s to get that last joke . . . do they still make fun of chaos magicians in better magical schools? No kidding, they do, awesome. Chaos rules. 

In the official godform creation sheets provided to newly elected Hierophants worldwide, the Forty-Two Assessors of the Judgement are described as "Various Heads and Colors." A papyrus from the times of the Greek-Roman Egyptians . . . good times. Meanwhile, there is that prick who is using this as his source Image Papyrus. With Westcott's Names. Add in a modern translation, and a decent victim, off we go boom! How can you not love this papyrus? Damaged as it is. All dolled up. Maybe used in ritual once or twice.  All in good causes, we swear. Having declared a Mash-Up weekend, where would I get if I do exactly that:  NOM's 42 Judges' Names plus Images=xyz? What direction do we read in?  Osiris, the most important symbol of the setting, telling us to read Left to Right; so we will designate the Leftmost Assessor to be Number One.  And in this papyrus, he has a human-head. As he does in the Papyrus of Ani. Usekh-nemtet, you are good to go, as soon as we figure out t...

 Sad, that you missed the event, don't be. Here's the best bit. My artwork. Nice, right? How did I not end up in Egyptian art school? Yep, if anyone show up to my no-longer-advertised event, I make them aware of how easy, it is to make a power book--allowing one to post political messages all over. I am starting to memory some of this. Another bit that I have filed to memory. We are working from page two. Here'e page one. Sometimes, simpler is better in a Power Book. I am being loud . . . in my own garden. By names and images are all powers awakened and reawakened.

As a psychic, I am sure that Dharma and her overlord, our Commander-in-Rage, Judas Trump, have wondered how practical my study book would be for combat magick. Not a weapon in sight. Honestly, if I had to bug out for the Aliens are here, I would not be reaching for my big old study book. No, it would be the lighter book on top. Peek inside. Go on . . .  I have been found clean of sin, Osiris and Thoth. I have not profited from grain shortages. I have not reduced rations. I have not belittled the god of my city.  I have not made impure the waters of the temples. I have not stolen the offerings of the gods. I have not disputed the rightful king of the nomes.  I have not slain the sacred cattle. I have not poisoned the ears of serfs. I have not increased the rents of the priests. Call this my Zombie Day--Book of Shadows. Honestly, the big fancy Book of Shadows are great for lodge and OFM (Open Full Moon) work; but as an experienced slinger of the mystic arts, I planned ahead...

When I was younger, I used to wonder how supervillains got away with being bad guys. Didn't I just scream Professional Menace in my younger days? Being older and more experienced, today I know it is because it's serves their interests for you to be a villain. It's not that they can't see how corrupt you are; it's that if they admit to it, then they would have to see their own darkness also. Better that they reflect their darkness onto you, giving you power to work their underground dealings, ruling luck.  I keep thinking that the day will come when Khari will take a look at the growing "Necronomicon" study book that I am creating for the Justice Forty-Two Project, and she will pull the plug. Scrub the shuttle launch at the last moment; save the school teacher's life; not go for the we must do this, or else we suffer detention as a nation option.  But then again, I understand everything that I am putting into my Book of Shadows. Or at least, the skeleto...
