I suppose this is a good place to put this....
A few days ago, I was out in the forest, something like a mile from home, when I came across the oddest thing... A foot path I was following suddenly spread out into a halfway decent sized (unpaved) road; right in the middle of nowhere. To top it off, a hundred or so feet purther in, another road bisected it, Making it into a perfect crossrad - complete with an empty post for a sign. The oddest part is that none of the branches of the road continued for more an 150 feet or so before deteriorating back into a vague foot trail.
Now, I was originally out looking for a place to camp that was closer to home, especially in regard to my heading out on the solstices and the occassional full moon. Given all of the folk lore involving crossrads, especially desolate ones, my curiosity has definitely been piqued. I am really, really considering using this place for whatever I decide to do for Samahin this year.
I'm wondering what the rest of you make think of this plan. I do not, and will not be trying my hand at invoking or any other rituals, and no, I'm not interested in "making any deals with anyone or anything"... but it just looks too interesting to pass up on.... I think I'll just have to put up a tent here sometime soon :-)...
Thoughts ?
Michael

First of all, thank you! Second, wow a big corporate thing. Yikes! Third, I actually kind of love what you’re posting most recently. Personally I have been hating on black and white images for a while but that’s only because of taking so many photography classes and seeing so many low contrast images on every blog (Tumblr and non Tumblr) recently. Those are just pet peeves though.

I’m not 100% sure I understand the question, so I’m going to do my typical over thinking and over answering thing.
If you’re asking if we’ve posted thigh high leather boots that can be pinned into garter belts. I’m sure we (I, apparently I write in third person when answering questions though it could just be because I’ve been sick for a few days) have but I honestly don’t remember. Scrolling through the Archives will answer that question better than I can.
If you’re asking if I, being the person that runs Morbid Fashion, own a pair of boots like that the answer is no but I do wish I did.
If you’re asking where to find a pair of boots like that. I would recommend Zappos though real leather ones will be quite expensive.
Hope that answered your question!

Let’s see…
Up until 40 minutes ago I had no idea that there was even a Forever 21 in my city (turns out there are 2) but I have liked a lot of what I see fashion bloggers wearing from them.
I have never been in Aeropostale or Hollister.
Charlotte Russe I have never purchased from, but I kind of love browsing there.
American Eagle is good for buying basics like plain white button up shirts. They’re a little pricey in my opinion, but good quality.

I’ve had tabs open in my browser for the last week to remind me to answer this question. To be 100% honest I follow over 8000 Tumblr blogs so it’s hard for me to name a lot because I just can’t keep up with the sheer number of posts that happen every hour let alone every day. These are some that really stand out to me that I adore though (and if anyone knows how to link to my full list of Tumblr blogs I follow or that follow Morbid Fashion I would really appreciate it because I would love to share).
http://cocochic.tumblr.com/
When I spot a flurry of wonderfully goth or stunning images on my dashboard 9 times out of 10 they’re being posted by Cocochic. I love this Tumblr.
http://vodkaandvogue.tumblr.com/
Vodka and Vogue also posts some great things.
I really wish I had more links for you. My best advice would be to look at who I reblogged images from on Morbid Fashion because most of the blogs I follow post things like that on a regular basis. Ugh, my answer is made of fail. I’m sorry.

We are all surrounded by technology every day,from computers,TVs,mp3 players,household appliances,power plants,electrical lights etc yet their use for magic is rarely researched,with the notable exception of some chaos magicians.Another field somewhat related to technology and is creation of new gods/egregores that will reflect the modern world,for example a god that controls electricity,much in the same manner an ancient god controls storms,god that controls electricity would have wide range of applications,for example he could be used for attacking purposes (overloading and sabotaging devices powered by electricity thereby causing harm to the target in various ways,electrical shocks etc),and for many others.A stereo that houses an egregor that activates when stereo is on and playing,and syphoning the energy from those listening to the music and many other options are possible.I have plans to create many such gods and "transfer" some ancient magical concepts to the world of technology/modern world,I believe that will yield some interesting results.I am interested in your thoughts and ideas concerning this,and whether you experimented with similar ideas and what results did you obtain.

Greetings Fellow Magicians
I am a neophyte in the realm of magick. I just purchased Duquette's and James and Tyson's books and I have been trying to embark on my enochian magick but unfortunately i cant seem to succeed. :(
Nothing works for me. I tried incorporating it with fasting and prayers but i have never experienced anything. I have built the tools like duquette said but i never succeeded. Can anyone help me in giving me any pointers on how u conducted your ceremony and it worked for you.
Thank you and ur answer is very much appreciated.

interesting study...
Quote:
Prayer heals when it’s close-up and personal, according to a study carried out in Mozambique by doctors, scientists and a religion professor.
It’s not just any kind of prayer, but “proximal intercessory prayer,” or PIP — when one or more people pray for someone in that person’s presence and often with physical contact — that was found to help heal some patients with hearing and visual problems.

Quote:
What are scientifically minded physicians to make of such accounts? The placebo effect immediately comes to mind, although the scant literature on the use of suggestion to improve vision and hearing does not explain the improvements found. Could observer bias? This is difficult to eliminate, though Heidi Baker as a woman with a doctorate in theology who has worked for years among the very poor does not fit the stereotype of a self-aggrandizing televangelist. Other naturalistic explanations are possible, since the nature of the vision and hearing impairments is unknown. One would want to learn whether these findings can be replicated by others, and better understood with time.
The Mozambique ministry team and the individuals for whom they prayed presumably believe in a supernatural basis for their healing. Is this possibility inadmissable on scientific grounds? Scientists can and should rigorously question any purported mysterious healing, and scrutinize any proposed mediating mechanism. But the conviction that we live in a closed system governed only by naturalistic processes is an expression of faith in a world view rather than a conclusion logically demanded by the scientific method. While the secular world view is characteristic of our age5 it is by no means shared by all scientists.6 This paper's authors neither ask readers directly to consider a supernatural explanation for these unexplained findings nor assert that they are predictable, but their report challenges the world view of readers who rule out the supernatural, or relegate it to another time.

hah! i always knew beer was a noble beverage, lol
Quote:
A chemical analysis of the bones of ancient Nubians showed they were regularly consuming tetracycline, most likely in their beer.
The finding is the strongest evidence yet that the art of making antibiotics, which officially dates to the discovery of penicillin in 1928, was common practice nearly 2,000 years ago.
...
The first of the modern day tetracyclines was discovered in 1948. It was given the name auereomycin, after the Latin word “aerous,” which means containing gold.
“Streptomyces produce a golden colony of bacteria, and if it was floating on a batch of beer, it must have look pretty impressive to ancient people who revered gold,” Nelson theorizes.
The ancient Egyptians and Jordanians used beer to treat gum disease and other ailments, Armelagos says, adding that the complex art of fermenting antibiotics was probably widespread in ancient times, and handed down through generations.

It appears to me that this is the key to what works for me in the majority of my minor workings.
It works like this: Say you want something to occur and you hold that wish for a period of time in the BACK of your mind and in the FRONT of your mind you sadly think that it won't happen. And this "trick" works most of the time for me if I focus my mind and really desire it. Its weird but it works.
Do any of you here do it a different way and still obtain your results? Remember, I deal with the front/back of the mind.
I'd appreciate your insights, no matter how weird they are. :)

http://www.mandaba.la/brazilian-indi...children-alive
Video tape evidence has emerged that Brazilian natives persist in burying alive young handicapped children. Horrifyingly, this video evidence (which is to be found in the link above) shows the murder in action.
Leftist forces in the government are supportive of permitting the practice to go on, on the account of cultural toleration. In contrast, a group has emerged to expose and prohibit the practice. According to them, Google has begun to censor their videos posted on the internet. Admittedly, this doesn't necessarily have to be political, as posting a video of a child being murdered (even if it is meant to expose such evils) is fairly graphic.
Still, the simple fact that this practice is persisting horrifyingly into the modern world. The absurd cruelty of the savage once again shatters the Utopic pipedream of pie-in-the-sky anthropologists.
