25. I've been in more laps than a napkin. 24. I used to be Snow White, but I drifted. 23. It is better to be looked over than overlooked. 22. It's not what I do, but the way I do it. It's not what I say, but the way I say it. 21. Keep a diary, and someday it'll keep you. 20. Love isn't an...

"How can you believe in magick/God/spirituality? Are you so naive?" This is sort of question I do get now and then, and I'd like to address it directly. Rational minded folks, often intelligent and scientific-minded persons, seem fond of being "agnostic" or "atheist" these days. I can't blame them. They probably polarize off the religious right who is always going on and on about how...

In the last blog, I introduced Thelema, and in this blog I'm going to introduce the Book of the Law itself. The Book of the Law (also known as Liber AL) is the only book a Thelemite needs. Even the other "holy books of Thelema," divinely inspired by Crowley, are not necessary or even desirable. The sublimity of the Book of the Law is in...

Thelema, means "Will" in Greek, and is a philosophy based on the The Book of the Law by Aleister Crowley. The Book of the Law (Liber AL) is small, poetic, and symbolic book on the nature of the universe and our place in it. "Every man and every woman is a star," the Book of the Law proclaims--that is to say, every man and every...

"We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth." —Virginia Satir, family therapist (http://eqi.org/ht.htm#Introductory Words from Kathleen Keating) There is some information available on the therapeutic effects of hugs online, though not as much as one might hope for. (Where's the money in researching hugs, right? Can't patent it!) "A...

I haven't been writing much lately as far as blogs, so to break the ice I'm just going to talk about some random things on my mind. Regarding more "magickal" blog topics: I'm helping pAmphAge write a small but comprehensive how-to manual on magick (with no "bullshit" allowed). This has been sucking out my "magickal" writing efforts, but there should be a lot more going...

The Hierophant (Trump V. in the tarot) is about expressing deep spiritual truths and teaching them to others. The card also carries the subtext of expressing the sexual desires of the Hierophant himself (Taurus is ruled by Venus after all.) And then we have Charles Bukowski, whose genius by now I hope needs no espousing, who fits right in there, the man of our time....

Quoting Billy Ray Cyrus: During filming, David Lynch pulled me to the side and said, "I don't have any reason to blow smoke up your butt, but I just want to tell you the truth -- I think you could be a serious actor." And I said, "Really? I've never done this before." He said, "A director is looking for someone who is real, and...

Criteria: Movie must have at least one actual use of marijuana by a human. This disqualifies a lot of borderline movies such as Dude, Where's My Car? and Eurotrip (Where they only eat fake pot brownies...even while in Amsterdam--WTF?). The ratings are based on my own peculiar balancing of weighing the overall quality of the movie with how much it is truly a stoner movie....

This is a guest post by pAmphAge: There are many unsolved mysteries regarding the Book of the Law, even to this day. One of them I quote from near the end of Part III: 73. Paste the sheets from right to left and from top to bottom: then behold! 74. There is a splendour in my name hidden and glorious, as the sun of midnight...

How can I find you not just in a stolen kiss...but in the crushing drones of the broken heart as well? Show me, my starry distant yearning goddess, where in my secret dark debauch I should find transcendence. Teach me, Nuit, to enjoy the sense of death and rapture in Ra-Hoor-Khuit's punishing embrace. Incinerate my brain with brightness. Shine upon the way and I will...

"Now ye shall know that the chosen priest & apostle of infinite space is the prince-priest the Beast; and in his woman called the Scarlet Woman is all power given. They shall gather my children into their fold: they shall bring the glory of the stars into the hearts of men." I am cursed by my one and only true Master, the Magus pAmphAge, forever,...

43. Let the Scarlet Woman beware! If pity and compassion and tenderness visit her heart; if she leave my work to toy with old sweetnesses; then shall my vengeance be known. I will slay me her child: I will alienate her heart: I will cast her out from men: as a shrinking and despised harlot shall she crawl through dusk wet streets, and die cold...

I'm a disobedient and faithless demon. Now I will burn burn burn for my sins and transgressions. I will suffer in torment as my Master intones these words: OEL LARINUJI ILASA PEREJE DO TOZA DASA I QO A AL ILASA OD TOFAJILO TOLTOREGI: MIRE IALPON QUASABE GAHE IZABAEL PAID SOBA UL IPAMIS: OEL ADAPEHAETA ILASA DO BALZODIZODRASA EKA DO BALATIME ILASA GAHE IZABAEL BAJILENU IEH...

Over the last year, I have received hundreds of emails regarding me or my site. I'm happy to say none of them were hate mail :-) I tried to have time to answer all the emails, especially the ones where people showed genuine interest in learning or evolving through magick. I also thank all the fans who tell me how hot I am, but that...
