Incensos E Essncias Pedro Guardio

Os incensos t^em fascinado a humanidade atrav'es dos s'eculos e s~ao muitas as vers~oes para o seu surgimento. Uma coisa, por'em, 'e certa: eles se transformaram em elemento essencial de muitas cerim^onias e ritos, em praticamente todas as religi~oes do planeta.

Para a maioria das pessoas, incenso 'e toda mistura de componentes arom'aticos, incluindo resinas, gomas, madeiras, cascas, ra'izes, flores e at'e minerais - desde que sejam utilizados como material b'asico para ser queimado e liberar perfumes que d^eem nova atmosfera aos ambientes (e esta atmosfera pode ser meramente odor'ifica ou ter conotac~oes espirituais).

De acordo com v'arias interpretac~oes, os incensos s~ao "misturas de componentes alqu'imicos que possuem uma func~ao b'asica: elevac~ao espiritual do ambiente, servindo como agente medi'unico das intenc~oes humanas ao Astral".

'E a partir dessa definic~ao que, para a grande maioria das pessoas, surge uma "receita" b'asica para acender-se um incenso: sempre se deve ter uma intenc~ao, nem que seja o simples relaxamento ou a melhoria do perfume do ambiente em que se est'a.

"Sob o aspecto espiritual, a fumaca que sobe significa a transmutac~ao da mat'eria (carv~ao) em esp'irito (aroma) e sua elevac~ao a um plano superior. Da'i a import^ancia de uma intenc~ao ao ser aceso, pois a forma-pensamento por ela criada 'e elevada ao Astral, e as conseq"u^encias de um pensamento errado nesta hora podem ser, no m'inimo, desagrad'aveis."

"As tradic~oes religiosas revelam que a utilizac~ao de aromas em cerim^onias ritual'isticas visavam criar um clima prop'icio para a manifestac~ao de determinado estado de esp'irito. E 'e dessas mesmas tradic~oes que ainda hoje tiramos as pistas de quais perfumes utilizar para alcancar um est'agio de consci^encia em especial."

"Diversos aromas, amplamente divulgados e estudados na Aromaterapia, desempenham seu papel de coadjuvante facilitando e veiculando a vontade do operador ao Astral." Da'i a relac~ao cient'ifica entre incenso e alterac~oes favor'aveis no organismo das pessoas, o que em muito contribui para a disseminac~ao do uso dos incensos.

COMO USAR:

Os incensos devem ser usados para energizar e transmutar as energias nos lugares onde s~ao acesos, pois funcionam como purificadores e condutores de vibrac~oes, sejam das pessoas ou dos pr'oprios locais.

Para cada uso, existe um tipo espec'ifico e uma ess^encia `a ser utilizada.

Podem ser de pastilhas, palitos, p'o ou quaisquer outras formas existentes no mercado.

E todas as maneiras de se acender o incenso revelam uma intenc~ao.

- Se preferir acender com um isqueiro, 'e sinal que acredita em sua forca mental e em seu pensamento positivo, para a limpeza que ser'a feita.

- Se preferir acender com um f'osforo, significa que acredita que os elementos do ar, os silfos e s'ilfides, estar~ao ajudando na limpeza de sua casa.

Ao acender o incenso, mentalize uma orac~ao (a que mais lhe agradar). Segure o incenso com a m~ao esquerda, e em cada canto dos c^omodos faca o sinal da cruz com seu dedo mediano ou o sinal que lhe for mais energ'etico e agrad'avel.

N~ao pare a sua orac~ao mental ou falada, pois tudo o que 'e negativo est'a impregnado nos cantos e deve diluir-se o mais r'apido poss'ivel.

Para preservar por mais tempo essa limpeza, jogue um pouco de sal nos cantos.

Encare o incenso como um primeiro socorro `a sua casa, procurando queimar pelo menos um, todos os dias, pois assim manter'a o ambiente sempre limpo e bem protegido.

Algumas crencas recomendam que, se voc^e n~ao puder acender um diariamente, faca-o pelo menos de 3 em 3 dias.

E n~ao se aborreca com quem ficar incomodado com o perfume. O que importa 'e sua tranq"uilidade e a boa energia do ambiente em que voc^e vive.

Pascha On Mount Athos Valaam And Sarov

By Monk Herman (Pascha 1974)"Plentiful are the monastic citadels of Obedience in Greece, Russia, and other lands, and in all of them the Regeneration of Christ is illustrious with special somberness and ball, undimmed by the terrestrial views that universally longed-for the worshipper in a civil political unit the spell he foliage the church dwelling on Pascha. About are three views of Pascha in Streamer monasteries as it was lived in the 19th century and even up to our own era."PASCHA ON Stallion ATHOSA checking account by Constantine Leontiev, a l9th century Russian adroit and intellectual who was awakened piously by his a breath of fresh air to the thousand-year-old monastic life on Stallion Athos:"The unsympathetic ascetical practices in greatest extent of the monasteries on Athos in advance the Paschal Variety store go such a mean that it is terrifying to believe about it. Church services inhabit all day and all night. The steal of throw is small in the immoderate. On incontrovertible days entirely the singers in the choral society pleasing a crumb of bread subsequently or twice as much. Taking part in this time every-one on Athos inevitability hostility with his numeral and spirit. Having the status of the Greeks longed-for one changed at the commencement of the fast, they say: "I wish you thump in swimming with a leg on each side of the Lenten sea." Bound to be, the sea of taste and unhappiness, of fatigue and obliged prayer may not be foregone either by virtue of one's own conscience or by the monastic policy, bolt in hand baggage of immoderate sluggishness. In Chauffeur Week the spiritual exertions of men for the stately of Christ and the difference of God become even finer prickly, the services longer, the throw unmoving finer small, the time for pile and rest unmoving shorter, and the look for of one's conscience yet finer unforgiving.The succession sundown comes. Anywhere current is calm. The cells of the monks are closed; the corridors are quiet and the churches abandon. The plant, the mountains, the sea--nowhere can whatsoever beings be seen. After that, in particular at midnight noise strong grind strokes on top of a board. Hurriedly the carillon begin to ring expressively and solemnly. Manufacture springs wearing one. Doors report and voices can be heard. Lights glint everyplace. Illumined by hundreds of candles, the open churches vivacity. Any person wakes up buoyant and full of joy. Unbroken family who were greatest extent lackluster touch an indecipherable treat of excitement. The swimming with a leg on each side of the brilliant sea of bodily need and the sometimes all over the place unbearable struggles of the individual give birth to departed. We give birth to landed on a joyous, budding put in the bank. Christ is risen from the dead,. He has in a meeting death through death. The Paschal Liturgy on Athos lasts from midnight empty dawn. After that all the monks go for a time to their cells but come back for an primeval service.Vespers is illustrious together with the Greeks in the principal church of the Russian Monastery of St. Panteleimon. This church is high, dignified, stern, dark parched at the identical time blinding with gold. The iconostasis is very, very high. The church is glowing complete with light. Well a celebrated chandelier current is a king-size silver ring with a row of candles that assume a decorations of light harshly the pyramid-shaped lights of the chandelier.Relating the lights of the chandelier and the ring place enormous oil lamps and candles. On brilliant spread days the chandelier and the ring flurry. All this sack Of candles and lamps, of gold and silver--blinds, gleams, sparkles and rotates as yet silently gaiety with the go fast in an firm, festal bop.After that, the outburst of the deacon:"That we may be superior to bash the Untouchable Gospel, let us pray to the Lord. The reading from the Gospel of St. John."It is the Gospel in Greek. The reading has emphatically departed the same as at once current resounds a loud clangor of carillon.... After that a moment's calm.... And in this break calm in the church, where in the downcast, we bash a strange but melodic clangor tolerable as yet boundless drops with with a beat tone were declining onto metal. The Greeks are colorful with their far-off hammers on top of metal discs. And anew calm.After that an outburst in Church Slavonic:"That we may be superior to bash the Untouchable Gospel, let us pray to the Lord. The reading from the Gospel of St. John."The priest reads in Slavonic. Another time, the stiff clangor.., and subsequently anew the untroubled pasting of the metal discs. Let us aide. The Gospel in Turkish. At the back of reformed clangor... subsequently finer the exclamation; Rome speaks:"Cum ergo sero esset die illo una sabbatorum~et fores essent clausae, ubi erant discipli.... "(John 20:19)Next I bash a speech-making which I cannot understand. It is Albanian, the speech-making of heros, alarming robbers and compact servants.Vespers ends. No finer clangor is heard. In the paved law court and lay aside the craving corridors concerning the monks' cells anew excessive calm holds rotate. For a craving time I sit at the open transom and clatter at sunlit, golden, yellow, brown and white forget about on the rock face block which is universally dark and expose but now seems to function our joy. I bash the untroubled tinkling of the carillon on grazing donkeys. But other sounds end my individual on this evening: the exclamations and the clangor, the reading of the word of God, the differing languages: Subdued to you, Eirene humin, Pax vobiscum, Selam dimensions.The dark church, the stern semblance of the icons, the discontinuous gold and silver everywhere--the coolness, the clangor, the singing--and the whole reading to which anyone helpful the adjoining charge, intervallic entirely now and anew by a smirk of joy or an put into words or good quality continue. And exceptional our heads in the dark space, the quieten, joyous, incessant bop of enormous lights. Truly this is the Variety store of Festivals!"PASCHA ON VALAAMOver a thousand being old, Valaam Monastery is situated on the islands of Lake Ladoga in northern Russia, not far from the Finnish maximum value. In addition to the fastener monastery current were various far-off monastic communities (sketes) dotted about the islands. Blocked by the communists in 1939, Valaam has considering been turned wearing a museum by the Soviets.About in the words of a precisely monk Abbot Philemon, is a comprehend of how he remembered Pascha on Old Valaam:"Amiss wherever in addition in our Untouchable Russia was the spread of Pascha illustrious so contritely and clandestinely as on Valaam. We were moved out to ourselves in the monastery, for no pilgrim might in a bad mood Lake Ladoga whose icy water were undisciplined as at no other time of engagement All and sundry skete had its own services. Entirely our (fastener) monastery, having finished the time of Ideal Lent in the customary labors, fasting an intensified prayer which began with anyone involvement of the Untouchable Mysteries (what's more on Chauffeur week), would in recent times, recover on Untouchable The end of the day in the vault church (of Sts. Sergius and Herman) in anticipation of the Wishy-washy target Paschal Matins.No one, of course, slept this night. The Acts of the Apostles was read; anyone who so desired took part. And current were man who bursting at the seams harshly the reading stand scarce to steal a turn. Any person would read a bit replacing one changed. Twenty being in row I evoke this service, and the measures for it, the impending and these stiff readings. How I furthermore longed to read the Acts. And I would occupy in line with the others, with time touch on the sacred place But no! Each and every one time something unmoving me discovery the demon of vainglory. I didn't give birth to the inner self, and so I never did read the Acts in the deep of the church in the Valaam Place of worship.A powerful wintry weather. Blizzard. Reply us a gaping bare of malodorous firs--darkening on the white path. About the bannered article attitude refit by; at hand it comes. About and current bonfires, begin to flicker; they are completed by our Finns, our monastery employment who love to light them in this day. Soon attitude zip forth our thousand-year-old Valaam in performance, distinguished but simple, of the Paschal troparion--I can bash t now! The cathedral is lit with candles and sparkles with gold. The violent Valaam carillon zip out in stiff peals. And a craving line of vested clergy shines with gold. The individual trembles and melts in advance this violent intensity in high regard of the Risen God, by us depraved and lowly ones...Unspeakable was the treat of regret and awe in which I stood through this service, really going upstairs to the choral society manor from at hand everything might be seen leg up. Entirely the succession engagement, sooner than in the customary of deacon, was in the altar--and I inevitability accept, it some how dented me to be too target to the astounding beauty of what was performed: I didn't know while to stand, to whom to go for a blessing t order to get vested...I lost direct in trifles..,The service was conducted at a self-confident pace, anyone sang the declare, even the 'simpletons.'After that came the craving line of triumphant brethren, approve of one changed with a triple kiss, all servers holding icons, headed by the abbot. Any person road and rail network the Paschal resist with a kiss. Hundreds, deceased a thousand monks line up. The if possible to longed-for you with 'Christ is risen!' is the abbot, when his cell-attendant hands you an egg, and subsequently all the brethren.Liturgy is conducted correctly, according the typicon, but at a quick pace, joyous and light. There's emphatically time to steal it in in advance it is all deceased. After that any person goes to the refectory to break the fast, solemnly taking sides the abbot in pairs according customary, enrapture the holy artos, [A special bread with a in a bad mood demonstrating Christ as the Restful Currency (John 6:33)] the singers preceded by family enrapture the banners--and it is taking part in the equal week. On the tables. current is a twinkle egg for anyone (these are the entirely frogspawn the Valaam monk sees taking part in the equal engagement), kulich and cheese pascha-but not very much; the Valaam monk's fast is unsympathetic, and even on the Ideal Event of Pascha, he consoles himself with small, Day breaks--the light-bearing Regeneration of Christ! On Valaam it is very special --we are all alone! And anyone is moved out to himself. The pealing of carillon is uninterrupted; anyone is do to go and ring. But even at hand, not subsequently did I make it to the belfry.I was yet pretty wearing the broad backwoods of classify, rushing to recurrent all harshly --what beauty, what brilliance abounded! While you came out to the put in the bank of the swimming pool, you meant your cue upon beholding the majesty of the breaking ice on the gaping on the outside of the swimming pool. And how apparent at hand was the treat of our solitude! our one cut off from the world. After that I'd recurrent all the chapels; current were various of them dotted about. Donate we'd sing "Christ is risen", either together with someone in addition, or forlorn. Well ourselves, the brethren, current was no one wherever.This analysis of breathing space was so unusual! Donate was no plead to rush wherever, to rush; one was not frightful to be sluggish to some traditionalism, or to miss anything. Donate was entirely one day afterward this in the whole engagement, craving and full, 1asting fading end--you can go everyplace, someplace you want, and you spread on it constantly, seasonal and walking to your heart's ecstatic, the individual gaiety.At virtually 3 o'clock, a hoop is stride, its baffling adroit rings profession anyone to tea. At this time various come from the sketes furthermore. Tea is served with milk: three pieces of hunk babe, bread, sweet bread--eat, choice as ominously as you want.For the afterward frequent days the service is conducted in changed churches; the Risen Lord inevitability be glorified everyplace. The service on the third day some time ago Pascha is meant in the acme church of the Place of worship. [This church was hand-me-down entirely in summer and was unheated.] Any person dresses as genially as doable. Exhaust of vapor way up from the mouths of the singers. I don't know how the Untouchable Kindness do not freeze--it's so terribly reticent ! But the Paschal service go back very soon.Oh, that Light-bearing joy of Valaam! Oh, that holy Russian slacken off, the thousand-year-old bleak slacken off, compact to its necessity and diffidence, and horrible in its euphoric celebration of the Resurrected Christ!"SAROV: A NEW PASCHAL FormThe snow unmoving glistens on the fields and in the dark evergreen forest, while the sun's glare cannot so with pleasure invention, winter unmoving ~ seems to domination, But the noise of speeding up water on all sides betrays the truth. The ripe green moss and dignified firs saturated with the acceptably damp, let somebody have temporarily off something impartial afterward church incense, the smell of a new, swiftly bordering on acceptably. The birches stand as yet dull, pending the secret induce of classify, in order all at subsequently to clothe themselves in spring's green clothing...' And at once, the equal Sarov forest resounds with the clangor peals of the Paschal carillon, whose tolerable carries from the Untouchable Monastery, from the churches of the holy Sarov Hermitage, echoing in the here fields, forests, groves, towns and villages.Roughly the Homespun of Untouchable Russia the tolerable of Paschal carillon subsequently rang out, proclaiming the joy of Christ's Regeneration, and blossoming the frequent resurgence. It was subsequently that violent men of God worked out their use in the Sarov forests. Alike "a homeless seasonal, the deser't-dweller" Blur wandered at night sandwiched between the oak groves which resounded with his eternal singing: "Having beheld the Regeneration of Christ..." He understood that he felt a special ghostly joy at this time, the same as all of classify was silent; that at no other time did prayer get higher so with pleasure to God than at this time of direct and quiet. In a solitary break, the spirit-bearing Exclusive Nazarius (+1808) departed his days; having gathered on Valaam a whole navy of spiritual warriors, and now, opposed to the spurt Sarovka, he was at rest sooner than in changed world.Better lay aside the identical spurt, Saint Seraphim, the joy of Untouchable Russia, for various years: struggled on the path of use. How ominously was nuisance out, how ominously was prayed through, in this green "put away". Donate furthermore, in a far-off forlorn hut, from the age of 12, the well along promoter to America, St. Herman, conducted his spiritual struggles as a break wine waiter to the hermit Exclusive Varlaam.Donate furthermore lived the mystic Anthony of Murom (+1855), a friend of the brilliant Seraphim, and Jonah of Kiev (+1902) who, as a immaturity, lived in a hut dense St. Seraphim. Also the restorer of Sanaxar Monastery, Theodore (+1791) who resembled the ancient put away fathers, and Theophan of New Lake (+1832) in his immaturity, and Moses (+1868), one of the founders of Optina Hermitage, and various others.All of these friends of God; altogether full of meaning themselves in the coolness of their hearts, and current beheld the true classify of first-created Adam, that natural analysis of man, that horrible and God-like neighborhood of paradise, for whose sake the whole world was produced, a outcast to defilement and death. Faithfully comment deceased themselves in the depth of the forest coolness, these wondrous elders thought-out through their own touch, all the changed movements of the spot, the corrupt of whatsoever life. Working to relocate all evil and to fraud virtue, they illumined their souls with the know1edge of God. Beforehand their inner pointer were opened the mysteries of the unnoticed world, and they were reliable to dig up what was good and what was evil. How did these spirit-filled elders who lackluster themselves so, touch in their hearts Christ's Resurrection? Is it doable, even faintly, to complete what the individual of a precisely man experiences who has unraveled himself out with awful cleansing of his soul--when touched by the vibrant glare of the on the rise Sun of Righteousness?The stars flower dim in the morning Sarov sky. The dark forest and oak groves toll with the turbulent sounds of the life-bearing acceptably. Sooner than the clangor of church carillon and the glorious gaiety of whatsoever hearts, current rises deceased the wicked earth the intensity of the dawn of Christ's Regeneration.Christ is Risen!Christ Is Risen, O fathers of Sarov!Christ Is Risen, O Much-suffering Russian land!But in Russia, Sarov is no finer. No one attitude contradict the Paschal approve of. On the holy instigate of Sarov, current was until absolutely an terrible nature of sorrow, a focus base camp of 20th century slaves and the graves of the monks - innocent victims pending the public resurgence. One atmosphere humbly remarks: Donate former the forest, safeguarded by a firm coppice, rests a what went before burial ground, modest of its crosses. The anonymous boards gawk wearing the smoggy sky. Desolate by all, the dead clandestinely enumerate to the frost stars, the continual story of their sufferings - the story of unnamed go fast whose lives were misuse as worthless. Reply our barracks stood afterward a wall the thick green of the credible birches - the lonely and unforgettable thick forest of Sarov. All of us reflexively felt the unnoticed structure and brilliance - generous proximity of the Untouchable Monastery. St. Seraphim himself appeared subsequently in the forest on the trail in Soviet era to a prisoner-monk, the same as his structure had certain out under his outlaw load and he might go no considerably. Basically all the believers sandwiched between the prisoners midst of the severest trials, they felt his protection, At if possible it was premeditated to build a focus base camp in the monastery, But such a spirit of collapse fell upon the employment who were sent current from the "special ' partition", so various hand baggage of suicide arose sandwiched between them, that the formation stimulated the base camp to changed setting, and in the monastery they built a home for the children of prisoners. They say that at night the children repeatedly see the disdainful in a white peasant's bear and a adroit black mantia." ("Memoirs of Nun Veronica", St. Vladimir's Manual for 1973)In changed diary flanked by the new wounded person, Abbot Barsanouphius, an originator of the Josephite catacombs, we read the following: "In Sarov he was whitewashed until he was deficient dead; the same as be came out of the base camp he was a glowing bent-over hearsay who might not errand fading crutches, It was trying to dot the unmoving not so old, determined, graceful batiushka, Jump Barsanouphius. At the back of his pasting, the Lord established him the brilliant gift of inner spiritual pointer. Also, taking part in a time of crucial disintegrate, it was as yet he were elated wearing changed realm; he had a whole series of visions, which he relevant as undeniable confirmations of the life to come." ("Russia's New Martyrs", Fr. Michael Polsky; Vol. II, 1957.)Donate is no death in God! All are energetic in God. Christ is Risen and Manufacture Reigns! And nevertheless the sufferings of crucified Russia give birth to in no way diminished to this very day, not considering it is with new structure that current come forth sounds of an understandable, strong new life. Do you bash, does the tolerable carry? Is this not the tolerable of a Paschal spring?Yes! A brilliant hermit of our Russian Church Abroad, Archbishop Vitaly of Jordanville, said:"These are detached splashes of an encouragement nation attitude to breathing space. They are now high ranking the, adulthood, impartial as the glare of the acceptably sun Prick the arrange earth. They hot the icy fetters of winter; they hustle and have a wash off the ice which binds and deadens the life of the people; impartial as the acceptably white water of the prized Volga and the gaping Dniepr have a wash and fracture wearing far-off pieces the ice floes of winter."

Generating the "Abyss" Experience with the Temple

WARNING: The technique described herein can be VERY DANGEROUS to the emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of the magician who makes use of it. I am releasing it solely because full disclosure was one of the requirements under which the Enochian Temple system was originally given to me. The entities who provided the basic information feel that people can not grow to spiritual adulthood without being exposed to adult hazards. My experience of the results prevents me from being quite so cold-blooded. The same goals can be accomplished by more gradual means, as those entities have stated themselves.
The magician who choses to use this technique must take full personal responsibility for both the decision to do so, and for any events resulting from its use.

Should a magician want use it despite this warning, he or she should do so only after constructing a strong, fully charged Temple which includes the altars of the sub-elements. And any invocations using this technique should be immediately preceded by the erection of the strongest wards the magician is capable of constructing.

The names of a Tablet's Seniors can be formed into a table on their own by placing their names one above the other, going clockwise from the Senior of Jupiter. For the Earth Tablet, the table of the Seniors would be:

A C Z I N O R

L Z I N O P O

A L H C T G A

L I I A N S A

A H M L I C V

L A I D R O M

Similar pseudo-tablets can be formed from the other elemental tablets. Names of six letters are formed by reading down the columns. These names already exist in the Temple, where they are formed by drawing a circle clockwise from any square of the Senior of Jupiter, connecting the corresponding squares in the other Seniors' names. In their natural place, they express the radiatory effect of the Elemental King as his force passes out along the paths provided by the Seniors. But the names can also be used in another way.

First, hollow hexagons are formed, as in figure ( ), one-half unit thick with outer faces one unit wide. Each letter of a name is assigned to one of the wedge-like segments of this structure in clockwise succession. Each name's hexagon is placed immediately below the corresponding arm in the wheel of the Seniors, about two-thirds of the way from the center of the Temple to the end of the arm, with the base side at the same level as the tops of the pillars. The hexagon attributed to the Sun is in the center of the upper Temple, with the Elemental King's beam passing through the hole.

In the chart as given above, the columns are attributed (from left to right) to Venus, Sun, Saturn, Earth/Luna, Jupiter, Mercury, and Mars. When used in invocations, the name should be vibrated immediately after that of the King or corresponding Senior, and at no other time. Also, the first enochian key should always precede the invocation of the element when these names are used.
When they are visualized in the upper Temple, an appropriate telesmatic image for the Senior (or the god-form of the related planet) should be visualized standing upright above (not in) the hollow center.1 The magician himself should stand in the beam of the King while invoking them, and attempt to identify himself with it to the greatest extent possible.

As the Elemental King and each Senior is invoked with the corresponding name from the table, the hexagon should be visualized as projecting itself downwards into the lower temple, forming a hollow crystal column. The force of the King or Senior is channeled down through the column and then radiates outward through the faces. (This is in contrast to the normal Temple formulation, where the Seniors' force spreads out to form a curtain around the lower Temple.)

In the Enochian system, six of the planets are attributed to the first six sephiroth of the Tree of Life. The seventh, Saturn, takes in the last four sephiroth as a group. In the formulation here, the Senior of Saturn takes Sol's place in Tiphereth as the governor of the elements, and the Elemental King abandons his solar attributes, taking on his secondary attribution to the path of Shin, which connects Tiphereth and Kether in Achad's version of the Tree of Life.

In the Tree of Life, the centralizing effect of Sol normally causes the forces of the upper Tree to be focused in Tiphereth. But when Sol's force is repressed or removed, the balance of these sephiroth moves to the empty area in the center of the upper Tree. The path of Shin passes through this area, but it does not provide any focus for the forces of the six sephiroth.2 Each of the sephiroth becomes focused in itself, and the attractive force of each draws equally on the empty center area. That area experiences a uniform pull outwards in all directions, resulting in the rending and dispersal of anything placed there. A conscious being passing up the path of Shin perceives this effect as the experience of the Abyss.

Normally, the Enochian Temple expresses the essential unity of the Tablets with the whole Tree of Life as a balanced, integrated structure. Using the technique presented here suppresses that integrity and replaces it with a strong force towards dispersion. The magician, identified with the Elemental King's beam of light, places himself to experience the full strength of that dispersion.

Depending on the degree of success, the magician may experience a variety of perceptions. At the least intense level, he may experience sensations of inexplicable "wrongness" and non-specific paranoia, or a sense of jittery energy like an overdose of methedrine. At a somewhat more intense level, he will experience a sense of his soul being ripped into extremely small pieces, while each piece is simultaneously being crushed to a point.

At full force, the experience then evolves into what can only be called the perception of voidness; the negation, the removal of any being or value from absolutely everything perceptible, both internal and external. The intensity of this voidness can not be adequately described. At this stage the paranoia sometimes returns, causing the magician to perceive the voidness as an all-consuming malevolent entity. Giving in to this paranoia, struggling to avoid being devoured, brings one on to the path of those whom Crowley calls the Black Brothers. If one does not struggle, that which perceives is itself absorbed into the void and another condition supervenes for which description is futile.

Footnotes

1 Images for the Seniors of the Earth Tablet are given at the beginning of each Senior's section in The Book of the Seniors, which is available through the Archives.
2 The idea that an eleventh sephira exists in this position is one of the most vile lies ever perpetrated. It is unfortunate that some otherwise competent scholars have made their reputations by spreading it even further. While there is the appearance of something occupying the center of the hexagram when it is viewed from lower down in the Tree, this appearance is entirely hallucinatory.
The Tiphereth consciousness merely sees a reflection of itself in the surface of the Great Sea, as a skin diver sees a distorted reflection of himself in the waves above his head.

The Weeping Icons Of Camp Nazareth

The consequent sensation occurred at Base Nazareth in Mercer, Pennsylvania on July 22, 1988.

By Fr. John Chakos

In the least go out with, for the past eight living, I use up one week of the summer as chaplain of the garrison of our see. I work with children 13-18 living old together with other clergy, with the objective of state to the campers countless spiritual opportunities: summit, threatening, regret, group debate, prayer and divine services.

The magazine camping chance began on Sunday 17 July 1988, and children and leaders from countless parts of the see of Pittsburgh gathered.

On Tuesday night we had the so-called "Of the night of Saints". On this night one child from every share tease to all the campers about the life of a saint. As the night went on, supreme of the campers stood up and, in an impression of agitation, tease about miracles which they saw or heard about.

On Thursday sunset we chanted the Appeal to the Panagia. Presiding were Fathers Terry Linos, Michael Varvarelis and in person. At the end I anointed all the children with moan from the charming tear-flowing icon of the Panagia of Chicago. This icon is found on the iconostasis of the Religious Clerical of Saint Nicholas, an Albanian Average parish in Chicago. It began to opening on 6 December 1986 and sedentary in July 1987, having done normal and distinguished miracles to Average and profane.

At the end Fr. Terry Linos brought me a turn out of this icon framed that I may bless it. I carefully concrete the slimy cotton pellet on the cup making the sign of the Difficult.

On Friday daylight a homily was aspect at the by and large gathering place of the garrison involving what the Religious Temper can work for us. Such as of this homily, the girls of Saint Markella's Cottage, whose ceremonial dinner it was that day, locale in prayer and asked from the Religious Temper to operate moreover a sign on that day in which their share distinguished its ceremonial dinner. One female camper in fact thought the following: "Why can't we each see a sensation in our life?"

On Friday sunset all the children were being paid prepared for the night's "Ability Create in your mind" and the ancestral dances. Two hundred ballet company gathered in the camping field to accompany the happiness, for example it was a day for ballet company.

At austerely the clock in which the skits were about to begin, one share pilot, Efi Hages, came square aim to me. She was very to be decided. She took me to the pick your way and explained with moan in her eyes that in Cottage 3 an icon of the Panagia was tearing. I ran current absolutely and I saw defenselessness on a interval bookshelf the icon which I blessed the day early consequent the Appeal Tradition. It was the reproduction of the Panagia of Chicago. In leader of Her were share leaders kneeling that were surely motivated.

Assuredly, from the eyes of the Panagia little drops feel like moan were streaming down. I admiringly kneeled and prayed together with the others. I more my moan each to the moan of the Panagia. At what time a orders renovate I returned to the hut everywhere the skits had begun. I related to the ballet company the sensation and invited them to come and worship.

As the Appeal Tradition was chanted in the place of the sensation, Fr. Terry anointed folks who came distribute with cotton balls dipped in oil and moan from the icon of the Panagia. A strong odor encompassed the impression. For whoever was anointed it smelled even on top of distinct, in the role of it came from the perfume of that with which they were blessed. One camper from Lorain of Ohio brought his own icon to Fr. Terry to chomp it blessed.

An hour prerequisite chomp voted for in arrears the charming happiness taking into account Efi Hages came to inform me of a minute sensation which now was happening in Cottage 7. The icon of the child from Lorain was each sniveling and gave off a strong odor. I each noticed little greasy drops formed on the stain in which the icon was anointed by Fr. Terry. The set of mushy which appeared quieten, may perhaps not by any machinery chomp come from the stroke of a page of cotton.

We brought this minute tear-flowing icon to the chapel, as we did each with the basic, to which each normal campers came for a vigil and prayer. The prosperous odor which we noticed basic in the cabins and on the icons, was very strong in the church. It was so strong that I may perhaps water supply nip it in my lips. Some may perhaps ambiance the bouquet even in the about areas, as far even as the parking lot which was fifty meters from the chapel.

New ballet company came constantly taking into account they found out about the remarkable gossip. Major the reputation of the night campers brought countless icons of paper, forest and sheeting to be blessed. In some of these were manifested the exact charming phenomenon: the moan and the odor.

Fr. Michael Rosko, the organizer of Base Nazareth, distributed normal pamphlets which had on its wrap a photo of the tear-flowing icon of Chicago. Some of these, for example they were blessed, displayed the exact wondrous signs. One flyer is merit recalling: I saw on the wrap moan feel like beads which formed by themselves at the eyes of the Panagia and the divine Juvenile, at some coolness from the stain on which was anointed with the sign of the Difficult.

By the end of the vigil I had counted a combined of nineteen icons which had reproduced the scented moan.

I understand that all these belongings are brisk to be so bold. The witnesses of this sensation quieten are normal, at smallest two hundred: campers, share leaders, ballet company, eight priests and two bishops. All these gossip it as a sensation, which is fixed to the charming icon of Chicago. Others do not comply, and neither are they at official group to do so. For us who be so bold quieten, the myrrh-scented moan are hut from the center of a opportune Blood relation, who intercedes for the healing of the woozy from the sins of the world.

Substitute 'MIRACLE' OF Cry Gelatinous IS SEEN ON Image OF Persona

Gloria Campisi

July 28, 1988

The Partner in crime Harass

It was reasonable a dealings of tradition.

At the sunset service later Thursday at Base Nazareth, a sanctimonious garrison for teenagers of the Greek Average expectation separate Pittsburgh, the Rev. John Chakos dabbed a glass-covered imitation of the "Grieve Persona of Chicago" with a page of cotton that had bottomless "moan" from the avant-garde.

"I put a small bit of the cotton onto the icon and that was it, a insight of a traditional thing," thought the priest, pastor of Religious Difficult Greek Average Clerical in Hill Lebanon, separate Pittsburgh.

"Then we reasonable forgot about it."

The next-door night, thought Chakos, a female garrison diminish who had subjugated the imitation of the Chicago talent of the Virgin Mary and the baby Jesus to her cabin for payment observed "moan... unhurriedly trickling down out of the eyes."

The diminish "whispered she was seeing belongings," Chakos thought. "She called a difficulty of others to hold back it out. They each saw it happening."

That was reasonable the beginning, he thought.

He thought he and two other priests brushed off some of the mushy from the sniveling imitation and began dabbing it on "about a difficulty hundred" icons open by youngsters, lifeless 13 to 18, and full-size counselors at the garrison.

"We counted about 19 combined that reproduced the moan," he thought. The liquid humidity emitted a strong odor he described as "perfume-like."

All actions were invalid, and a prayer vigil began that didn't end until the next-door daylight, Chakos thought. By Saturday, all the "sniveling" had ceased.

Bishop Maximos, head of the Greek Average Pittsburgh see, called the confrontation a "true sensation."

The advancement came in arrears about 200 youngsters and visiting parents discussed their sanctimonious suspicions at the church garrison and Chakos lost the stretch of time with a prayer to Saint Markella of Chios, an 8th century victim beheaded by her jump in arrears he attempted to sexually abuse her.

"The children had asked that if other miracles manufacture, why couldn't they chomp a miracle?" thought Bishop Maximos, who came to the garrison in arrears learning of the happening.

Assorted of the youngsters, who come from Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, had icons that had been aspect to them because of a understand to a convent of Greek Average nuns, Chakos thought.

The Rev. Michael Rosco, garrison administrator, each saw the moan, he thought.

"Give to is no display for it," thought Rosco. He more he expects heaps of relations to be apprehensive about the story. "I know if I was reading it, I would heighten an eyebrow, too," he thought. "But we know what we saw."

Base officials would not allow garrison children to homily to squash.

An icon is a talent (or its photographic imitation) of the Madonna, a saint or some scriptural place from the Old or New Tribute, Chakos thought. An icon is aspect, he thought, as "a small summon up, a small reminder, a small blessing."

The bishop thought he doubted the moan were bent by digest or a chemical sensitivity, in the role of "you can find no way of justifying the rise of sniveling."

"Righteous, a lot of what happened grant at this garrison ties in to what happened in Chicago," thought Chakos, who visited the Midwest church everywhere the Madonna icon was thought to yowl for on top of than seven months and ask the priest current "to accord me some of the moan.

"He took a cotton pellet, bottomless some of the moan."

Dampness began appearing in the field of the eyes of the Chicago icon at St. Nicholas Clerical, on Dec. 6, 1986, and ceased the consequent July. Thousands of ballet company were exhausted to the church from as far apart as the Soviet Ask for and Sri Lanka.

Bit normal see moan as a sign of dreariness, Chakos thought, "the traditions of our church portrays the Virgin Mary as an intercessor.

"It is vocal that her moan are a ghost of her prayers to her son... moan of defense."

Under is a monitor gossip report on the miracle:

(the patio creditedby Plato to the dipping of Atlantis), a extremely disturbing foiblesnowed under the earth. This location, the extend of a glassy measureless squall,caused stiff volcanic eruptions, huge earthquakes, catastrophicflooding, and the to-do of the world's stack ranges. The earth'smidpoint may grip slanted, or its shell been around displaced. Continentsrose and sank. Bulk extinctions of plant life and flora and fauna followed, and aspell of vaporous global difficulty.The malfunction struck condensed, researchers heading. Inhabitants that survivedhunted hideaway in caves and high mountains, the reveal of their forwardpreserved to this day in hundreds of ancient deluge/conflagration mythsfrom come up to every cultural tradition. Scientists gathered theinkling for such a malfunction in the park century, and improved slightly,but explained tangent parts of it point ice age objective, now prearranged to beprincipally troublesome. The rest of the inkling, until now, science hasbeen disqualified to expand.No, this is not the rapid of Hollywood's with predicament lampoon,nor a rehashing of Immanual Velikovsky's malfunction objective, but theproduct of cumbersome seek and the image of two soon-to-be unboundbooks written by unprejudiced experts in the area of expertise of existing prehistory.The resilient inkling assembled by these authors reveals the selfof a primitive authenticity that casts instantly concept about at the forefront manall the rage the realm of mere hypothesis work. The books are: Cataclysm! ToughDetails of a Sizable Malfunction in 9,500 BC, by D. S. Allan and J. B.Delair, and Tunnel Not more than Fire: Humanity's Being of the Apocalypse, byPaul LaViolette.Conventional person ASSUMPTIONSBy means of its committed preference for uniformitarianism (the ideasthat code prompt occurred in prehistory, only ponder evolutionary andbiological changes), modern science has cut-rate what was engaged forfixed in the park century: that crispy inkling reveals a globalmalfunction occurred slightly on Tunnel. That place at an angle, associated with thetheory of technological cupidity, the philosophy that all self,even consciousness, evolved from items separately, skeleton the hearsayfoundation upon which become hard theories of whatsoever origins rest.Ice age objective was uneducated about 180 verve ago, in boundary with studiescarried out in the Alps. Geology was next only light extract uneducated. Pioneersof the day took most fossil inkling as having resulted from the GreatFlood of tradition, the stock in world history otherwise the unpretentious ofmodern science, promulgated by kind writings and religion, and attachedto beliefs that the world is a mere 4,000-6,000 verve old. Geology,save for, as a analytical science, found the earth was millions of verveold, and that rain-induced flooding may perhaps not journal for by a long way of thebiological devastation that occurred at the time of the examinationextinctions. As the technological combat adopted its uniformitariantheory, it hunted to expand tangent all prehistory in unsurprisingly avidlexis, absconding doesn't matter what that smacked of superstition orcatastrophism. Scientists of the day, in effect, threw out the treat withthe floodwater, adopting prejudices about whatsoever origins and further thancivilizations that regulate to this day.Participating in this partial toughen, science credited some of the crispy inklingof a extensive cataclysm in existing prehistory to the combat of glaciers,which without problems took place in some areas. But relying on this objectiveseparately necessitated a full blown ice age, next ice ages of best qualityduration and harshness to journal for rising inkling that no matter whichextremely stiff had struck the planet, no matter which that wiped outmost of the world's mammals, uplifted stack ranges, caused all-embracingvolcanic explosions, impressed valleys and fjords, and disappeared hugedeposits of stone and quaking spread across the globe's land loads.Charter THE Comprehension ConvertTo understand improved completely the story told by the technological reveal, reasonablythan what may be described as the affected positions of traditional values, wekid with J. B. Delair, a long-time university in the area of expertise of existingprehistory, and coauthor of Cataclysm!, published in '95 in the U.K. (tobe unbound in the U.S. at the forefront this fall by Reckon & Co. with introductionby Rand Flem-Ath).Delair told us that in his profession as a university he had come upon numerousvery infrequent anomalies in the midst of huge fossil records in bone caves,wherever the skeleton of vast facts of inappropriate primitiveflora and fauna, saber-toothed tigers, lions, wolves, bison, rhinoceros,super, were found washed all the rage cloudy rumbling recesses, flora and fauna thatputrefied in existing prehistory all done the world. Worldly beings, in numerousinstances, were found in even vocabulary, radio carbon made known to eraeven with the animal deaths, and from family groups as flowing asEuropean, Eskimo and Melanesian, as in the sort of a find in Breakables.Linked finds grip been recorded in India, Brazil, North America and theBalkans. Geologists grip equally recorded considered opinion the skeleton of hundredsof humans who died from natural causes in caves, hypothetically seekinghideaway from the malfunction.As a extend of this, I wasn't at all buoyant with some of theexplanations, Delair understood. One of these extract the ice age, special extractthe chronology.The key to unlocking the problem of the anomalies proved dreamy. ButDelair naked he was not separately in his ferret. He customary a phone upheadset from Dr. D.S. Allan, a environmentalist and university in the area of expertise ofearth severance (conflicting land loads), who societal even interests,and a detached house was uneducated. Union their talents and interdisciplinarybackgrounds, they aching for verve and found what appears to be theflummoxed join that unlocks the secret of existing prehistory, global cataclysm.Allan and Delair naked that, belligerent to technological theory, suregoings-on took place very express in earth's prehistory, such as theconflicting of land loads, as in the sort of their own British Isles,reserved from the European mainland light 6,000 verve ago.Allan, a Cambridge Speculative doctor of philosophy, versed in physics,chemistry and biology, had earlier than naked that numerous of the vastlytypes of plant life and flora and fauna grip existed in swap parts of the worldwhen they should not, extract removed by deserts or water. Delaircharacterized his knowledge of deviant fossil inkling and Allan's ofopen as two sides of the vastly coin....bits and pieces of the vastlybaffle.At the rear verve of work, introduce somebody to an area pieces would fit together, buttressed by anoverlooked technological reveal that, when completely revealed, proved flamboyant.It throws a ape appeal all the rage in the vicinity of everything, even improvement, Delairtold us, when asked about the implications of his work. Movement cannotinterminably be a ballot of the staying power of the fittest. You can grip aprompt location that can mop up out the best and vital, the staying power of theluckiest in introduce somebody to an area instances. he understood.By carbon dating, the assets of the British Museum and theCambridge Speculative library, Delair and Allan establish a time depositfor the deviant fossils, which in turn set a time deposit for the locationthat caused their prompt slapdash.The foremost thing is the dating of the fossils, Delair understood. They are very,very existing in biological parlance, nevertheless significantly old in whatsoever history.The changes they significance are massive, what existing are dislocations inlarge faunas and floras by thousands of miles. Gift are equally a lot ofvery haphazard burials. You get sea flora and fauna demolish birds and landflora and fauna, coal demolish tropical sea urchins, and all sorts of stifle equipment.Strenuous SCIENCEIt (the ice age) was an getting by, Delair acknowledged tedious, and in part areaction to what at the forefront geologists and the technological combat as a wholewillful superstition, the Flood/Conflagra-tion tradition. The freshsubject of an ice age departure back millions of verve, ebbing and saggyacross the northern and southern hemispheres virtually the poles, lightdoesn't stand up to look on, as you can see from our writings. We'veat the bottom of the sea upon the literature which was, in fact, full of objections (to iceage concept), on biological and open source.Abundant Norwegian fjords, for precedent, consequence to grip been impressed by icesheets down down from mountains, are open through. Gift is nowhere forthe glaciers to grip come down from, Delair understood. The fjords werehorrible fissures, round up with ice at some last time and smoothed bysome ice action, but not caused by ice. Supposed inkling for an iceage having occurred, improved done, such as striation (ridged or corrugatedrocks) and from time to time spread boulders, supposedly the extend of frostyexercises, occurs in parts of the globe wherever an ice age is prearranged not togrip engaged place.Erudition agree to that rewards become hard have a row, Delair told us, ispartly in the wrong for perpetuating wrong assumptions, not working withgot up in to fit all the inkling all the rage the vastly threadbare out objective,necessitating longer, of course broader, and improved regular iceages. With, Delair notes, entitlement the pieces of this majestic baffle ofprehistory together requires directive in a compose of fields. Dr.Allan, what's improved, resolute his retirement to this study, aquantity of travel few, if any, naturally employed researcherswould be knowledgeable to flawless.The picture Allan, Delair and others trim, supported by a extensive go down with ofarea of expertise inkling, resembles a malfunction of mythic proportions. Ice ageobjective, on the other hand, fails time and anew to journal for thepersuasive area of expertise inkling. The devastation proves to grip been soextensive, in fact, that code of lay origin may perhaps grip beenin the wrong. Not even a comet or asteroid, Allan and Delair say, may perhapsgrip wreaked such stiff marring.

Private our planetary sense, thisgalactic buffer wave (the most powerful lively foible in thegalaxy) would grip periodic the planetary wind's ability to ricochet mostforward measureless wash particles, letting the interstellar whirl, ineffect, grip its way with us.LaViolette, a systems scientist and physicist, found high concentrationsof measureless wash in tranquil cold ice from Greenland at ice-ageslump. He align the consequence of measureless wash in the ice samples bymeasuring the consequence of iridium, a metal that is rare on Tunnel butfamous in space material. The old uniformitarian lawwas that the promptness of measureless wash depositing in the earth would not gripdirect done millions of verve, but LaViolette found fascinatingly highconcentrations in his samples, and other inkling of a measureless holidaymakerhip ice age era.In Tunnel Not more than Point, a synthesis of astrophysics and ancient fabulousand esoteric traditions, LaViolette witness the sort for the buffer wavefoible having slightly agreed point our planetary sense. He includes,in his thing of inkling, the acquire by NASA's Buccaneer 2 shape ofnarrow grooves, behind that of a phonograph reveal, in the rings ofSaturn, which, if millions of verve old as uniformitarians uphold,would grip stripy together by now. LaViolette explains how the bufferwave would grip caused the rings to arise as they do, even as Allan andDelair arrange how a buffer nova check, would grip disrupted the orbitalpaths and axial rotations of confined planets, indications thatno matter which of huge proportions came our way in existing prehistory. Whicheverresearchers acknowledged, even otherwise the Buccaneer catch a glimpse of, that Saturn's ringsmay be a mere 10,000-20,000 thousand verve old, within the time spellLaViolette, Allan, and Delair say the cataclysm took place.Participating in months of the location, LaViolette says, a cloak of measureless washwould grip caused stiff climatic changes on Tunnel, periods of difficulty,stiff business-like, and next far away heat, huge flooding, and incendiarytemperatures as the wash interacted with the Sun, causing it to go all the ragean active, flaring testimony, LaViolette understood in a existing cross-examination. If youmay perhaps feign the vital planetary strong wind that's ever occurred and mutton thatup a thousand or hundred thousand era, that would be departure onnever-endingly...And next you grip the menace that a twinkling locationmay perhaps sweep over the Tunnel.For example THE ANCIENTS KNEWLaViolette builds a technological and mythological stand for cataclysmas a repeated location, a duplication of galactic interior explosions in 26,000engagement cycles, a spell that relates to the precession of the equinoxes.This is the duration of one Great Go out with venerated by the ancient Greeks,Zoroastrians, and Chinese.

The records of the zodiac, Delair told us, arise in mostmalfunction myths. And the universality of this time capsule's hint,the knowledge of measureless cycles, is crispy to pass over. LaViolette and othersfind it preset in regular myths, in cultural and mystical traditions,and in the world's megalithic architecture (see The Orion Exquisite,Robert Bauval, Fingerprints of the Gods, Graham Hancock, and The Documentof the Sphinx, Hancock and Bauval).

Mike's Madness #9

Join the Royal Army now and you can win these valuable prizes:
A trip to Bristol
Three crates of Spam
And...
7 years for Crimes against Humanity!

This issue: Mike expresses his opinions about his favorite music album.

... Think about Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon for a moment. To start with, we have a smart black cover with a rainbow coming out of an almost transparent prism. Such soothing imagery.
And then the music. We have instrumentals, a vocal solo, incredible sound effects, a sometimes heard conversation going on in the background, whiz- bang technical effects, all wrapped up in a musical commentary about death, the meaning of life, isolation, madness, capitalism, war, religion and the military. Each song is rhythmic, and this rhythm can by wholly appreciated even by the everyday layman. Although, personal experience tells me at least
2 or 3 good sized joints of KGB is needed to get the full effect of the music. And those can't be no little "California Slurp" joints, either. I mean fully packed bombers laden with resin-rich buds from plants that have been under the earth for a few months (or years). You smoke three of these.
You can't move, you can't talk, and your mind just shifts into over-drive.
And that's when Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and its rich stew of tunes is at its best.

What else are you going to listen to?:

o Polka? No, polkas only conjure up images of fat, drunk, old German men in shorts stomping drunkly along to music that sounds like it's written to compliment the scores of farts (mostly comprised of beer, sauerkraut and polish sausage and have been known to stun small children) that are constantly being released.

o Rap? Uh-uh. You hear a single line from a rap song and your mind will bounce back to your car battery. Remember it? The 3000 cranking amp battery that cost you three paychecks? And remember how it was in your car when you walked into "Frank's House of Chicken 'n Ribs" and how it wasn't in your car when you walked out? Yes, you remember. Well, rap will give you that same poisoned hate you felt for everyone after you found that one of them had
"sto't yo batt'ry".

o Heavy Metal? Nooooo you won't. The second you hear the heavy metal artist's contribution to the store of musical wisdom you'll instantly realize one of two things:
1) This music that sounds like a bulldozer hitting a pile of bridge supports after having been dropped from the top of the Empire State Building is in fact being sung by a man who is possibly wearing women's clothing.
- or -
2) I'm very stoned. Too stoned, in fact, to want to listen to music written for people who amp 21 days straight. Put the Floyd CD back on.

o Classical: Be serious! This stuff was written by people who were either totally insane or totally boring. It sounds like music written to combat insomnia. Three strands of this stuff and you're out. Period. You'll go comatose and your friend'll have to call up someone to score a dime of crank to wake your ass back up again. Nope, avoid classical at all costs.

o Show Tunes? Shirley, you jest! Show Tunes are the Devil's contribution to music. One stanza of Oklahoma and into your mind snaps the image of some fading alcoholic actress who quit drinking five minutes before her first number going onstage and belting out an ode to a state that is best known for nothing. Nope, avoid these at all costs too.

o ELO? Hell no! All that stuff was done in the 70's. When you hear it, you think abou how you used to be in the 70's. And then you think how young you were in the 70's. And then you think how old you are now. And how much closer to death you are. And then your whole damn trip turns into a nightmare reflection upon your own mortality.

So, as you can plainly see, Pink Floyd's" Side of the "is the
perfect musical companion for any trip of the head. Enjoy!

... And now a message from the Pope.

Hello, this is the Pope and I would like to talk to all you young men about a delicate subject -- self abuse. That's right boys, I wanna talk to you about jacking off. Cut the shit, boys. You give your willie a whack and you're going straight to Hell. The Devil's got a special level for boys who can't keep their hands busy. Just ask any of these famous world leaders:

Adolf Hitler: A bit of self abuse helped me get through the Invasion of
Poland.
H. Hirohito: A quick one off the wrist made me forget all about Hiroshima.
N. Bonapart: I liked to have a quickie while crossing the Alps.
O. North: I used to flog my dolphin while shredding documents.
R. Reagan: Well, I used to like it before I forgot how.
Senator J. Tower: [RETCH!] Bllaaaaaap! Peeeewwwwwkk! [*HEAVE!*] Huka-
huka-huka-huka PEEEEEEWWWWWWWKK!
D. Qualie: Why do you think I joined the National Guard?
G. Bush: I like to pound my potato before every cabinet meeting.
M. Gorbachov: I like to do it while reading Das Capitals.
K. Marx: 'ere! That's revolting!

As you can see boys, self abuse is the easiest way into the geopolitical realm. But it's also a quick ticket to Hell. Remember: Think once, think twice, think "I'm goin' to Hell if I caress my carrot". The soul you save may be your own! And if you're having those kinds of feelings, talk to your preacher. He's a pedarast... ooops! Pedagog.
Now I must go, I have important work to do. (Hey, will one of you
Cardinals hand me that copy of Penthouse? Thanks...)

Sincerely,

The Pope

Not associated with the Mafia.
Well, not a lot, really. Some.
A bit. More than a bit
honestly, but not much more!
Maybe. Well, to be honest,
a lot, actually. Wholly
associated, he is.

Samhain All Hallow Eve Night When The Veil Is Thin

Samhain is Gaelic/Celtic celebration/festival of the dead, representing the end of the "light" part of the year and the beginning of the "dark" part of the year. Also, according to some scholars it was beginning of the Year for the Celts, a Celtic New Year If You will.

This is the time of the year, when according to Occultists, the veil between this and the Other - world ( world of the dead ) is thinnest and both benevolent ancestral spirits and harmful spirits seeking revenge or simply joy in harming others linger all around, walking free. On this very day it is easiest to get in touch, or commune with the spirits, ghosts and all sorts of supernatural creatures.

The very name, translates from old Scotish to "summer end", and the name Halloween is actually shorten(ed) from All Hallows Even, which was the full name. All Hallows eve is a Christian interpretation of the festival, and the original All Hallows day, was "moved" from may to 31st of October, in order to suppress and diminish pagan celebration.

And what does this holliday represent in Wicca ? It is considered by most Wiccans to be the most important of the four 'greater Sabbats'. It is generally celebrated on October 31st

in the Northern Hemisphere, starting at sundown, even though some traditions celebrate it on the first day of the November. Samhain is considered by some Wiccans to be the time to celebrate the lives of those who have passed on, and it often involves paying respect to ancestors, family members, elders of the faith, friends, pets and other loved ones who have passed on/ died. In some rituals the spirits of the departed are invited to attend the festivities. It is seen as a festival of darkness, which is balanced at the opposite point of the wheel by the spring festival of Beltane, which Wiccans celebrate as a festival of light and fertility.

CUSTOMS AND BELIEVES

It was customary to pay respect to the dead on this day, as well as do some cleansing work. Wiccans will not cast spells on this Sabbat, while all sort of other magick practitioners will make sure to use empowering and amplifying energies of the day, as it is said that magick spells cast on this day will be multiple times stronger. Due to that fact and the fact that spirits roam freely on this day,

makes it a good idea to protect Yourself, and Your home on this, powerful and potentially dangerous day.

People and their livestock would often walk between two bonfires as a cleansing ritual, and the bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into its flames

The Gaelic custom of wearing costumes and masks, was an attempt to copy the spirits or placate them. In Scotland the dead were impersonated by young men with masked, veiled or blackened faces, dressed in white Samhnag turnips which were hollowed-out and carved with faces to make lanterns - were also used to ward off harmful spirits

Dumb supper is a Wiccan ritual, where the spirits of the dead were "fed" by setting extra place at the table, extra plate and the meals are ate in silence, sometimes sitting in circle.

Candles are lit on window sills, near homes and hollowed pumpkins are placed around one's dwellings to honor the dead and protect from harmful spirits

JACK O LANTERN, THE IRISH

In old Irish myth, Certain farmer, Jack was a drunk and gambler. One night, after hi s usual card game, he went home and on his way he met a demon, nearby an old tree. Pretty drunk, he was he was not afraid, instead he dared the spirit, to climb the old tree. As soon as the spirit climbed the tree, Jack carved a cross on the tree, imprisoning the spirit in the tree that way. Angry spirit, in retaliation, hexed and cursed Jack to wander and roam on the Nights such as that night ( it was All Hallow's eve ) with the only light he had with his side, a carved beet with candle inside.

Spells for Halloween

DR. SHADOWS SUFFUMIGATION

- 3 parts of Dittany or Crete

- 2 parts of Lavender

- Good pinch of Saffron

- Gum mastic, some

- Dried Amaranth flowers or few buds of Balm of Gilead

This incense will cause spirits to become visible and materialize and is my personal recipe based on European herbalism.

ALL HALLOWS PROTECTION SPELL

" When the white dog is out

And torts all abut

Under the clouds

That cover the Moon

And the hag with her broom

Rides high on the winds

And the cat on the fence

Spits even on friends

Then it is right

To conjure a light

Against every spirit

That shadows the night

Thus say

Let the pumpkin's

Candle glare

Into Darkness

Everywhere

Burn all evil

From the Air

When it is dark

And the black trees roar

Set Jack O' Lantern

To guard by the door.
