#an enemy of ritual traditionally integral

[novaloo]

Inevitable - part two - Science shenanigans

(this part takes place a day later in case you couldn't tell)

Both Dr Sunshine and Julie were in the lab. She was organizing research notes, he was sorting some chemicals. The radio played a nice melody. Sunshine jumped along to the rhythm slightly, but at one point he swinged his hand a little too much and knocked off the test tube rack. Substances spilled on the table, the empty vial falling to the floor and breaking with a quiet clink. Luckily none were explosive and no reaction occured. But the memories came flooding back in. And all he could muster was a frustrated...

"Fuck!"

But he didn't stop. He kept thinking out loud, reminiscing, talking to no one specific.

"I was an existential criminal

So innocently cynical

Ignorant as fuck-"

Then Julie chimed in.

"But a proud individual!"

Dr Sunshine continued with his train of thought.

"Originally meant to live a God-damned miracle"

Julie chimed in again.

"Might've been metaphysical"

And Sunshine continued once more.

"But I think it was medical

Testing my hypothesis!

Never finding a theory!...

Emulating animals and mental aboriginals

A miserable fuck-"

She added in again.

"But a loud Tao mystical!"

He kept going.

"An enemy of ritual

Traditionally integral

To Biblical originals

But literally pitiful"

Then Julie took the lead.

"Too impatient for outpatient

Paging Doctor Leary...

Did you lose yourself?

It's always in the last place that you'd check!"

Sunshine answered.

"I might find myself..."

His voice lowered to a quiet tone for one sentence, then returned back to normal.

"By retracing my steps...

But I don't remember!

Well, I forgot myself

I don't remember

I don't remember 2012!

I don't remember how I forgot myself

I don't remember

I don't remember 2012!

I don't remember 2012!

I don't remember-

Wow, the whole year's a blur!"

He hummed along as he used his leg to move the glass shards under the table for the time being to avoid stepping on them. Then, he kept musing, his tone upbeat.

"I think I bought into the comedy

And brought a lot of oddity

An odyssey I thought to be

Consider a commodity!

And not until anomaly abolished my monotony

Did I applaud autonomy

And modify a lot of me

I'll escape this reality!

Be the next Houdini!"

For a second Sunshine posed like a magician, with a big touch of silliness to it.

"Oh, glory be Satori

But it's hallucinatory

And it's sure to be a story

I can tell in purgatory!

I said, once I've lost it

Can there be a

Mahaprajnaparamita?"

Then he dragged his assistant to dance, stepping and spinning to the music on the radio. She did not oppose, looked happy even. He leaned in, close to her face, and quoted her own words.

"Did you lose yourself?

Well, it's always in the last place you'd check..."

Then he pulled away, the two separating.

"I might find myself..."

Again, his voice quieted down just for this one, same sentence.

"By retracing my steps..."

They both tapped their feet along to the rhythm for a while, before Dr Sunshine spoke up again.

"Wow!

I don't remember how I forgot myself

I don't remember

I don't remember 2012!

I don't remember how I forgot myself

I don't remember

I don't remember 2012!

I heard the world would turn to hell!

Compared to that I'm doing well!...

Oh, I don't remember how I forgot myself

I don't remember

I don't remember 2012!

I don't remember how I forgot myself

I don't remember

I don't remember 2012!

I don't remember 2012!

I don't remember 2012!"

And as the song ended, the two laughed warmly like old friends. Sunshine sighed, gazing off into the distance with a hint of nostalgia.

– Now that I think about it, I really was a miserable fuck...

– A miserable fuck no more, doctor – Julie reassured, her casual tone carrying a wave of warmth as always. – You've grown to be a proud and intelligent individual

– Oh, did I?

– Your unusual genius is known all around the town. Many admire it greatly.

He smiled. He knew full well these were just empty words, but it was nice to hear them nonetheless. She grabbed a cloth and a broom from the far corner of the lab and approached the messy table.

– Let me clean this up, hm?

“Finally, Zeus Soter was an important god of the household. With other deities such as Hygieia (Health) and Agathos Daimon (the Good God), he traditionally received the third libation at symposia. The first libation was poured to Zeus and the Olympian gods, who represent the cosmos; the second to the heroes, who stand for the city; and the third to Zeus Soter, the patron of home and family. In his Suppliants and Oresteia, Aeschylus alludes several times to Zeus Soter as the deity who upholds the authority of the male head of the household, and the physical integrity of the home itself, which were felt to be interdependent.11

Because of his position as head of the divine family of Olympian deities, Zeus was the archetype of the patriarchal father. In myth, Zeus’ many amorous alliances with mortal women produced heroes, who gave rise to aristocratic lineages. Thus he was worshiped as Zeus Patroös (Ancestor) by Dorians, who traced their lineage to his son Herakles, and more generally as a god of familial bonds. At Athens, Zeus Phratrios and Athena Phratria presided over the enrollment of boys into the phratries, or brotherhoods, that guaranteed their status as legitimate offspring of citizens. Shrines of individual phratries sometimes had altars dedicated to the pair. But most widespread of all were Zeus’ many domestic cults. Zeus Herkeios (of the Courtyard) received sacrifices on behalf of the household at an open-air altar. An anecdote from Herodotus (6.67–68) illustrates the role that Zeus played as the guarantor of the male line. When confronted by his enemies with claims that he was illegitimate, the Spartan king Demaratos sacrificed to Zeus and brought his mother a portion of the entrails. Placing them in her hand, he beseeched her in the name of Zeus Herkeios to tell him the truth about his parentage, and she complied. Zeus Herkeios is attested as early as Homer (Od. 22.333–37), who mentions that Odysseus and his father sacrifice to the god outside their ancestral home. Zeus’ importance to fathers may also explain the unusual votive offerings uncovered in the hilltop sanctuary at Messapeai near Sparta. The sanctuary of Zeus Messapeus contained weapons, armor, and athletic gear, but these were far outnumbered by crude, handmade clay statuettes of males with huge, erect phalloi. The site was frequented mostly by men, who may have sought Zeus’ aid in becoming fathers.

Zeus Ktesios (of Possessions) was a humbler deity. In Athens, it was customary for the head of the household to wreathe a two-handled jar with wool tufts around its “ears” and “from its right shoulder to its forehead,”and to empty into the jar a mixture of pure water, olive oil, and various fruits and grains, referred to as ambrosia. The finished jar stood in the storeroom as a “sign” of Zeus and acted as a charm to increase the household goods. That the ritual has many points of contact with funerary customs suggests a relationship to domestic ancestor cults. Though he had public altars in some cities, Zeus Ktesios was primarily an intimate, family god. The orator Isaeus (8.16) tells of an Athenian who admitted only family members to the sacrifice for this god, though his practice was not necessarily universal.”

Night as SELF-iSH lyrics pt. 1:

2012:

I was an existential criminal, so innocently cynical Ignorant as fuck but a proud individual

Night before discovering Nexus, basically

Originally meant to live a God-damned miracle Might’ve been metaphysical, but I think it was medical

The miracle in question was the goal of the Nexus experimentation- to turn her into a fully fledged dragon hybrid. She "thinks it was medical" because something they did to her modified her just enough to receive her "abilities".

Testing my hypothesis Never finding a theory

testing her hypothesis about what happened to Phoenix (Entity) after Nexus burns- but she never develops a theory until much later

Emulating animals and mental aboriginals A miserable fuck but a loud Tao mystical An enemy of ritual traditionally integral To Biblical originals, but literally pitiful Too impatient for outpatient Paging Dr. Leary

This gives "Night is discovered by the Foundation vibes"- she emulates her old self, kind of miserable, pitiful, whatever- until they find her. Who knows there might be a Dr. Leary at the Foundation haha-

Did you lose yourself? It’s always in the last place that you’d check I might find myself by retracing my steps, but…

The "last place that she'd check" was another scientific research organization similar to Nexus (retracing her steps-) but she finds a sort of purpose there anyways.

I don’t remember, well, I forgot myself I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012 I don’t remember how I forgot myself I don’t remember, I don’t remember 2012 I don’t remember 2012, I don’t remember Wow, the whole year’s a blur

She messes around with the Antimemetics Division and ends up fighting an anomaly that the main method of defeating was not remembering..

I think I bought into the comedy and brought a lot of oddity An odyssey I thought to be consider a commodity

She is one of the "oddest" researchers at the Foundation, but she fits in without much difficulty.

And not until anomaly abolished my monotony

The anomaly (literally an scp reference omg) is SCP 3125- and it sure did "abolish her monotony"- because ⬇️

Did I applaud autonomy and modify a lot of me

she kind of had to modify a lot of her to make her human (?) body compatible with her newly-transferred AI consciousness- also she appreciates having been.. well, what she was to them before, which allows the Foundation to give her far more autonomy than most other AICs.

I’ll escape this reality Be the next Houdini

she continues doing reality shifts for the Foundation- not against her will either, most of the time she actually wants a change of pace (that hopefully won't kill her)- anyways yes. she has new 'upgrades' that make it easier to do that too

Glory be Satori but its hallucinatory And it’s sure to be a story I can tell in purgatory I said, once I’ve lost it can there be a Mahaprajnaparamita?

(kind of a stretch) but some Foundation researchers expect her to start doing everything right with the accuracy of an AI that was made for the job, but since her AI system was programmed to emulate her personality and not to do her job, she still makes mistakes sometimes- but blames it on AI problems like overfitting and hallucination. Not to the AIAD researchers, she can't fool them with that (its literally their job).

Defining Witchcraft

This post is made in response to some topics I find commonly debated about within the Thai witchcraft community, but I want to post the English version here too. I will never tell someone who is or isn’t a witch- that is for you to decide. But if you claim to practice traditional witchcraft, especially those which lean towards western traditional witchcraft, then I will argue that the word ‘witch’ has a weight and history to it which you cannot ignore. It has a meaning. 

A witch, traditionally, is someone to be feared. A witch to the common folk is a terrifying figure, at times appearing vindictive, ‘intent on wrecking economic and physical havoc’ (Tangherlini, 2000). As discovered from stories and court proceedings collected between the seventeenth century to early twentieth century, witches have been accused of horrific crimes, ranging from assult to sabotage, poisoning to larceny and kidnapping to murder (Tangherlini, 2000). The book by Bever (2008) also name the crimes commonly associated with witchcraft to include ‘harming livestock’, and ‘physical acts like poisoning and surreptitious battery of children and animals through ailments’, and ‘cursing’ through ways such as ‘subliminal forms of communication like eye contact’. Hence, a witch is someone who practices ‘maleficium’, a word which originally meant  ‘wrongdoing’ or ‘mischief’, but later became specifically associated with harmful magic in Roman times (Bever, 2008). Between veneficium and casting the evil eye and worse, witches were never good.

The usage of natural materials within the casting of witches’ spells were also commonplace. Historians have found ‘various cursed things, or fatture,’ like ‘bones ... human nails ... seeds ... coals ... and the teeth of the dead’ which were ‘found in a sick woman’s mattress’ (Bever, 2008). Curses, as done in the past, were not pretty and palatable. Likewise, ‘a mixture called lazaro puzzolente containing quicksilver, urine, and asafetida resin was known to be made to work a similar magic when placed under victims’ thresholds’ (Bever, 2008). Bottling urine and harmful material under the ground of someone’s threshold is a classic method to curse an enemy. Historians had also discovered ‘spells, herbs, roots ... and hair’ believed to ‘cause hailstorms and untimely frosts, sickness in man and beast; impotence; miscarriage and death’, alongside other forms of sympathetic magic such as ‘cursing tablets’ where one sample was made with ‘the skin and bones of a frog, which had been pierced by several large pins’ found at the ‘bottom of a well’, and curse poppets were also found historically, an example being ‘a wax figure with a pin through it’ (Bever, 2008).

Witches also work with an otherworldly entity (or entities) who teaches them and guides them, the most infamous being the Devil. Who the Devil is is a question for you to discover on your own. Witches of the past has been reportedly flying to meet the Devil in what is called a Sabbath. Bever (2008) touches upon this, noting that ‘witches flew to Sabbaths to worship the Devil through a variety of obscene rites, including perversions of the Christian sacraments’. Those familiar with witchcraft may notice that the description of the ‘perversions of the Christian sacraments’ sound similar to what many practicing witches call the ‘red meal’, which can be one way to commune with otherworldly forces. There have also been numerous claims and confessions of those who claimed to have met the Devil.

A man named Hanß described the Devil to be ‘a black man with horns’, who had appeared ‘to him both day and night, scaring and threatening him’ until one night ‘he had finally agreed to give himself to the Devil, who thereupon carried him to the “merry and happy” festivities where he saw the women and the musician.’ This description of the Devil as a horned dark man fits traditional folklore well, and so does the tale of the Sabbath. In the tale, ‘at the dance, the Devil fussed over him, carried him on his shoulders, brought him bread and meat, “told him to call him father, and called him his son,” and eventually carried him back home’ (Bever, 2008). This correlates with how many traditional witches nowadays may associate the Devil with the Witchfather, the father of witches and maker of witches (as I have seen the term Witchmaker used too).

The relationship with the Devil may also be partly devotional, like a woman who claimed that ‘she did homage to him’ and prayed ‘I worship you, oh lord and Devil, attend my soul’. This is similar to the admission of Maria Gekin’s testimony, who claimed to have said an incantation that dedicated herself to him:

To the Devil I want to be, To the Devil I want to stay, To the Devil I want to be bound, To the Devil want never from his hand, The Devil has made me, The Devil has saved me, The Devil has sanctified me, In his hands I want to stay, To the Devil I want always and eternally to be.

All of the above claims are explored in Bever (2008).

Historically, there have been claims about uses of a salve: an ‘ointment witches reputedly used to travel to their dances’ (Bever, 2008). The witch Apolonia, whose case occurred late in the period of the witch trials, claimed to have used the ointment which is commonly referred to as the flying ointment. Moreover, Apolonia reported her ‘flights to the witch dances’ to have ‘merged dream content with reality’. The concept of an oneiric Sabbath is also commonplace today among currently practicing traditional witches, with groups such as the Cultus Sabbati placing a high importance on the concept of the dream Sabbaths. An interesting point that should be taken into account though is that in the past and in certain cultures, there is no difference between dreams and reality. Likewise, as stated in Bever (2008): ‘dreams in which the dreamer was transported to another place to participate in magical events and which the dreamer experienced as real rather than as dreams, were, as we have seen, experienced in other parts of early modern Europe, and indeed, were recorded in other cases in Württemberg, by younger people whose cerebral integrity was not in question.’ It can be concluded that these witches who flew in their dreams were not insane, and their experiences should not be dismissed just because they were dreams.

These spirit flights or dream flights were not also known to be just flights where witches fly to meet the Devil, but witchcraft can be accomplished through these journeys. Bever (2008) notes that ‘in Slovenia sorcerers flew to fight against each other in trance or dream, as some Siberian shamans claimed to, and some Hungarian witches both fell into trances to make soul journeys and also were said to abduct victims and transport them similarly to their revelries’. Similarly, ‘other Hungarian practitioners specialized in traveling to the land of the dead while in trance and in Milan, ‘four women claimed in the late 1300s that they had ‘ecstatic experiences with the ‘good lady and her folk’ and were therefore able to cure and to look into the future’. Soul flight can be used to connect all kinds of otherworldly forces, and knowledge can be gleaned and lessons learnt from these flights.

Aside from the aforementioned acts accomplished by the old witches, a concept which I believe is integral to walking the path of traditional witchcraft is the concept of initiation, through which a witch faces spirit death and their eventual rebirth. Not only were witches ‘thought to gain from their attendance at the Sabbaths the power and knowledge to commit maleficium’, some historians believed that ‘the next step in a witch’s initiation was to fly to a witch dance at which she worshipped the Devil with other witches.’ Other historians disagree, claiming that ‘shamanic initiation often, but not always, involves a ritual experience of death and rebirth, while a witch’s initiation did not’. Still, the author of the previous quote added that ‘the witch’s renunciation of her Christian identity and assumption of a new, diabolical one could be seen as a symbolic equivalent, and overall the parallels seem strong enough to raise the question of what possible connection there might be’ (Bever, 2008).

In my personal view, cutting off old vows, making new vows, initiating, dying and being reborn is vital to being a witch in the traditional sense. To quote Aaron Oberon, a practicing witch and author of Southern cunning:

Folkloric witchcraft in the American South: ‘initiation is a death [...] something in you has to die in order to be initiated, to be given the information or power these spirits have. Sometimes initiation can result in physical illness, life changing events, job losses, or emotional upheaval’. Oberon (2019) stated that ‘initiation comes from spirits, and so what the spirits put you through is going to be different for each person […] It is incredibly personal and involves being torn apart.’

I will not go into detail about my personal practice, but every word he says rings true. In my view, to have something bore your way through your very spirit and irrevocably change you is what it means to be a witch.

So far, my attempts to define witchcraft has been quite negative. Yet, a witch does more than maleficum too. To quote Vita Tortuosa, a book co-written by Daniel Schulke, the presiding Magister of Cultus Sabbati: the path he practices is the path which ‘serve with both hands alike’. To ‘serve with both hands’ is an idiom that is commonly said among the traditional witches I have known, meaning that a witch may do harm with one hand and give blessings with the other. Magic is manipulation and so is witchcraft. Bever (2008) had found from cases of witch trials that:

‘[...] among the manipulative uses of magic, healing was by far the most important, accounting for half the manipulative cases, or almost a third of all beneficent magical practices, and was almost as numerous as all types of divination combined. Furthermore, the other kinds of manipulative magic comprised a polyglot miscellany including various enhancements to normal human capacities like strength and marksmanship; a limited number of magical countermeasures against natural and supernatural aggression by others; exorcism of bothersome spirits; a few cases involving claims of truly supernatural powers; and a couple of occurrences that were anomalous even within the magical worldview of early modern Europe.’

Witches can heal and bless and are capable of more than harm, just as there is more to magic than cursing. Not all magical practitioners are witches, but witches are a type of magical practitioner. Moreso than hurting or blessing, witches are liminal creatures, dealing with life and death and spirits and ghosts and necromancy. Bever (2008) describes how ‘technically, necromancy meant conjuring the spirits of the dead, but in the late Middle Ages it was used more broadly to refer to conjuring spirits in general’. Witches are spirit workers, as modern occultists may say. To be a witch is to work with the Otherworld, to have a foot standing in this world and the other planted in another.

Witches historically have also used the power of words and poetry to their benefit. Take this case study explored in Bever (2008), done by the accused witch Maria who was said to use an incantation to keep a horse from eating. For the curious, the incantation went: 

Your mouth must blocked be, Your mouth must stopped be, You are the Devil’s, You must bewitched be, You must the Devil’s be You won’t eat for 24 hours.

At the risk of providing a checklist and a box one must fit to be considered a ‘witch’, I want to again state that this essay is simply exploring what it means to be a witch from a historical perspective. You decide what it means for you, but to fly, to curse, to bless, to work with spirits, to deal with some Devil, to initiate and die and be reborn and more- that is what I mean when I say the word ‘witch’.

Diverging slightly from the main topic and venturing more into the area of UPG, I want to argue that at its core, this tradition of witchcraft has existed since over two thousand years ago. As explored in Ogden (2009),  pharmakeia - which is the art of poison and magic from plants - has been practiced since the times of Ancient Greek. Likewise, there also existed the usage of bindings known as ‘katadeseis’, whether it be through binding tablets or kolossoi dolls. And so is the use of incantations, referred to as epoidai. Necromancy was also talked about in the past, with ‘divination from the dead’ described in Homer’s Odyssey. Hekate and Medea and Circe are witches and witch-goddesses people may typically think of when hearing about Ancient Greek witchcraft.

Moreover, consider this quote from Ogden (2009) by Ovid, writing about the drunken bawd-witches:

“She knows the craft of magic and Aeaean incantations. By her craft she turns flowing waters back to their source. She knows all too well the powers of the herb, the threads twisted by the spinning rhombos-wheel, and the secretion of the mare in love. At her wish, clouds crowd over the entire heaven; at her wish, the daylight shines in a clear sky. If you believe it, I have seen the stars dripping with blood. The face of the moon was deep red with blood. I suspect that she shape-shifts and flits about among the shades of the night and that her old body is covered with feathers. This is what I suspect, and this is what they say. Also, double pupils flash from her eyes, and the beams shine from twin circles. She calls forth great-grandfathers and the great-grandfathers of great-grandfathers from their ancient tombs and cleaves open the solid ground with a protracted incantation.”

The quote from a 1st-century BC poet bears striking resemblance to what I consider to be a witch of the traditional, crooked path. It describes a witch who uses incantations, who draws power from the herbs and natural materia, who commands the natural world like a witch commanding the wind to howl or rain to fall, someone who practices necromancy and perhaps ancestor veneration, and also perhaps what we now call spirit flight as she ‘shape-shifts and flits about among the shades of the night’ in a feathered form of a fetch. Personally, the description of the moon and stars dripping with blood reminds me chillingly of not just the witches of Thessaly but also the witches of America, as it speaks similarly of a ritual where a silver bullet is used to kill the moon and initiate the witch (Davis, 1975).

In conclusion, the craft has been alive far, far longer than we are. Therefore, there is a history associated with witchcraft, giving weight and meaning to the word ‘witch’ whose definition is both complex and particular.

Full Moon September 2019 ~ Fight Or Flight?

Full Moon September 2019 ~ Fight Or Flight?

By Darkstar Astrology

Full Moon September 14 2019 falls at 21º Pisces Decan 3. Full Moon is conjunct Neptune, opposite Mars & square Jupiter. Full Moon healing crystal is the Tiger’s Eye. Fixed Star is Markab in Pegasus the Winged Horse. Tarot card is the 10 of cups.

FULL MOON MEANING

Full moons tend to make us purge and release things from our lives, so we need to make sure that we are in control of this and no one is forcing our hand! Sometimes we can let go of things that we regret later, due to heightened emotions and the full moon’s penchant for saying ‘F*** You!’

The bright light of the sun throws a spotlight on our subconscious and our shadow. This can feel uncomfortable as the Sun literally blasts out the demons who have nowhere to hide. Often the full moon is a time when we reap what we sowed at the new moon,.. for good or for ill.

The veils between the worlds are thinnest around a full moon, so be very careful what you invite in. Instead, the full moon is best used to purge things out, and banish entities/bad habits back to the underworld from whence they came. Make sure you close the door firmly afterwards! This is a good time for exorcism, but make sure you are completely grounded and fully in control of the process. If in doubt, lie low and protect yourself.

Full Moon September 2019 Astrology

Full Moon September In Pisces Decan 3

The wild mood-changes in this decan are bound to keep us on our toes. Because of fluctuating emotions, we might well find it hard to keep hold of relationships at this time or stick to any project. We are apt to lash out for no apparent reason, so this decan is typical of the temperament that is often described being “artistic ” Interestingly in my research, I actually found very few actual artists with their Moon in this decan, but there are certainly those who have a finger on the pulse of what is popular in the collective.

This decan is very sensitive to what its peers (or the public) perceive them to be. If they can’t be loved then Pisces decan 3 might go out of their way to be unpopular and delight in being controversial. Moon in Pisces 3 loves being the subject of gossip, and they seem to lap-up any attention, even if it is negative. Bad press doesn’t exist as long as this person is being talked about; So at this time, we will see many prominent people feeding off drama in the collective. The Moon here can be quite “bratty” also. Infantile rages can emerge due to unresolved childhood trauma.

Fixed Star Markab

Moon on Markab ~ “Injuries from enemies and domestic matters, fairly good health but many accidents”. [6] ” To be emotionally consistent, to be unchanging in one’s devotion. To see to serve in a practical manner, the needs of others.” [7] Manilus writing in the 1st century says “It will bring forth people endowed with a swiftness of movement and limbs alert to perform every task… proudly mounted on its back he will wage war from on high; horseman and soldier in one. Another will possess the ability to rob the racecourse of its true length such is his speed…and make the ground vanish before him… will know the herbs which bring aid to an animal’s limbs and those which grow for the use of man.” So there is swiftness in the body and mind.

Full Moon Pisces Decan 3 ~ Tarot Card

The tarot card associated with this card is the 10 of cups. The Cinderella effect of the meaning of the decan as a whole is very marked with this card since “It suggests emotional fulfilment, settling down and starting a family. You have found the love you have searched for… You may have a picture painted in your head of the ideal partner and life for you.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with this as we all have our own idea of what we are looking for, and a dream we would dearly love to come true.”

Painting a picture is appropriate as this is such an imaginative decan. Karmically for artists “ The Ten of Cups suggests exceptional work. Your creations will be truly inspiring and might even be your best  yet” Like high flying Pegasus “It is all taking off for you now and you may even get some global recognition.” ~ teachmetarot.

The 3rd Face Of Pisces

“A sad man full of evil thoughts, thinking of deception and treachery, and before him is a woman with a donkey climbing atop her, and in her hand is a bird. This is the face of advancement, and lying with women with a great appetite, and of quiet and seeking rest” ~ Picatrix

Full Moon September Healing Crystal ~ Tiger’s Eye

Tiger’s Eye is a remarkable ally for the mind, balancing emotional extremes and allowing scattered thoughts, feelings and information to come together in a way that makes sense. It brings focus and stability, enabling one to make decisions from a place of reason rather than emotion. Tiger’s Eye is ideal for those who are spaced out and uncommitted to find purpose; for those who find it difficult to remain optimistic, it stimulates hope and confidence for the future. [1][2]

A popular good luck stone, Tiger’s Eye/Cat’s Eye was used to ward off the evil eye, and to reflect back any malice or threats without absorbing any negative energy. It was used a great deal in voodoo rituals. Holding a Tiger’s Eye was also used to discern if someone else was reliable or not. Traditionally it was believed by the end of the day, any deception would be revealed. [3][4]

Right Use Of Power

It engenders peacefulness and beauty, and connects with the spiritual power of the sun as nourishment for the soul. Tiger’s Eye enables the ability to remember dreams and to use dreamtime for spiritual advancement, sparking imagination, intuition, and opening up psychic talents in earthy people through Third Eye activity. [5]

Tiger’s Eye is highly beneficial for resolving dilemmas and internal battles, especially those caused by jealousy, will fulness and pride. It teaches integrity and right use of power, bringing an awareness of one’s needs, as opposed to mere “wants,” as well as understanding the needs of others. It is excellent for healing issues of self-criticism and worth, and unblocks creativity so one may recognize one’s talents and abilities, as well as one’s faults that need to be overcome. It is highly supportive for an addictive personality, increasing personal will to affect positive change, and anchors that change into the physical body. [1][2].

"The new Light will unleash the truth and this will stir chaos in the old paradigm. However, the chaos is good because it will mark the end of the false reality and outdated modalities. It will be the beginning of the New Earth reality in the unified field of consciousness. WE will separate from the third dimension and it will not seem as if reality is quite right. There will be a strange feeling that WE have moved some place and the world will seem brighter. Ultimately, WE will see a complete collapse of the current governmental/political and monetary system. ‘money’ will be rendered obsolete because it will no longer be relevant to the New Earth reality. After this collapse has become obvious is when WE will be plugged in to the greater consciousness and the new photon energy of New Earth will emerge. No ONE will be able to suppress the free use of the photon energy. This will change our entire existence in to complete universal knowledge, including travel and education over night. The inner Earth people will introduce technology that will remove all radiation and impurities from the ocean. There is technology that makes everything clean instantly. WE are almost at the time of the most exciting experience you will ever have. For those of us who are ready, it will be more like a huge miracle appearing before us. It will be the most wonderful of all occasions. All will be redeemed and reformed in miraculous ways. It has begun!" ★ ~ Romeo Baron ٠•● Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ "The new Light will cleanse old patterns, programs, and ideologies that no longer serve the greater good of hUmaNITY. Those who resist this Light will have an extra hard time moving forward. This is a time not to resist these new higher energies, but to allow ourselves to integrate this powerful new Light. WE can trust that this new Light coming to Earth now is leading us to all the joy, peace, prosperity, and fulfillment WE have dreamed of and envisioned." ★ ٠•● Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ The illuminati ★ An evil group of men has always wanted to rule the entire world. In the past conquest has failed to achieve this, due to the resulting outrage and awareness of the enemy. In our present time an evil group are trying a subtle but effective way to rule. This is to gradually infiltrate and delude the masses into accepting their ideas. Such subtle gradualism, along with distraction (such as unnecessary work, study, entertainment and sport) is being used effectively. Few people will therefore be aware of what is going on. The powerful conspirators are made up largely of the international bankers, and the illuminati, which is a super-rich organization, which controls the mainstream media, workforce, education system, companies, banks, energy supplies and governments. The elite that call themselves the illuminati ("the enlightened ones"), contains at the heart 13 incredibly rich, zionist families that are in constant contact with each other. Their names are probably Rothschild, Rockefeller, Warburg, Bruce, Cavendish, De Medici, Hannover, Habsburg, Krupp, Plantagenet, Romanov, Sinclair and Windsor, but this list is kept hidden from the outside world so meticulously that some sources mention a different name in a few places. They are supported by another 300 families, often with well-known names such as Agnelli, Bush, Ford, Kuhn, Loeb, Montgomery, Morgan, Roosevelt and Schiff. Many power-hungry people mix with them as well, such as Henry Kissinger, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Bill Gates, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Warren Buffet, etc. Together they control practically all power and money in the world. They operate countless organizations and orders, such as the Vatican, the United Nations, the World Bank, almost all central banks, the CIA, the NSA, the FDA, the Smithsonian Institute, the Council on Foreign Relations, NASA, Bilderberg, Thule, Skull & Bones and many others. The illuminati have been working on a secret agenda for hundreds of years, which is supposed to slowly but surely take them towards a New World Order. The illuminati have lost all respect for human life and are corrupt to the bone. The blood lines of the 13 families go as far back as the Sumerian era and they keep these lines as pure as possible by continually marrying among themselves. They also form the top of the most powerful organization in the world, the freemasonry. In the order of hierarchy WE find the Jesuits and their leader, the so-called Black Pope, before the illuminati. They have a religious and controlling task, however, while the illuminati, as executive body, hold the real power. The origin of the illuminati is not human, but extraterrestrial. Over 4000 years ago a group of reptilians landed here, planning to take over planet Earth (without being noticed). Because they master the art of shapeshifting, they presented themselves as normal humans, who accumulated more power and money every generation. A reptilian is not bound to one human body. This race can become thousands of years old, so when one human body has become too old, they simply move on to a new one. For the outside world this appears to be a new descendant of the family. The 300 families surrounding the 13 core families nearly always have blood lines which are related to the Aryan main blood lines, because shapeshifting is more difficult with the blood of 'hotchpotches'. They only show their true shape in places where there is no chance of being discovered, such as in the castles of their families, special divisions of underground cities, or during secret, satanic blood rituals and sex parties. Reptilians are the most negative creatures in the universe. Judging by human standards, they are inconceivably evil and immoral. If you study the illuminati's deeds throughout the years, you will get the feeling that whatever is behind it can indeed not be human. From creating world wars and "terrorist" attacks such as 9/11, making the population ill through chemtrails, poisonous medication, cosmetics and harmful food such as that of McDonald's and KFC, organising occult meetings with satanic blood rituals, man-hunts and sex parties filled with child abuse, to murdering well-meaning politicians, inventors and even pop artists. This group can be held responsible for nearly all bad things that have happened in the history of the world. The influence of these extraterrestrials may have been largely reduced by the ascension process that WE're currently in, but the control system they put down on Earth, still stands. It is maintained by millions of employees, from secret services to managers of big corporations. They're doing everything to prevent the truth from getting out. They're terrified that the people will discover what they have to answer for. As George Bush senior once put it: "If the people knew what we had done, they would chase us down the street and lynch us." Their fear of discovery by the people is the sole reason they have not yet taken their final step towards a New World Order. There are simply still too many of 'us', and they can't keep track of us well enough yet to already undertake any action. Therefore, exterminating the population is still highest on the agenda. But because this also has to occur in secret, their operating options are limited. Their plans have already caught a delay of many years. To make matters worse, they are also being confronted with the fact that there are higher powers in the universe, which don't want things to go much further than they already have. In other words, the situation our leaders find themselves in, is a dead end: on the one hand they hold all the power on Earth, on the other hand they can't really do anything with it. However, this does not stop this dark cabal from having blinkers on and happily continuing to make plans. Because even in the process towards the NWO, there are plenty of 'fun' things to do. They regularly meet at orgies and occupy themselves with various secret societies and projects. These secret projects range from building underground cities, ultramodern space stations, flying saucers and bases on the moon and Mars, to time travel, man-hunting and various bizarre experiments, like cloning humans. The most important illuminati spend their summer holidays in the Bohemian Grove in America and the European branch see each other annually at the Bilderberg Conference. Regulars on this guest list are the royal families of the Netherlands, England and Spain, among others. The Ministers of Development Cooperation can also frequently be found here, because most money intended for development aid traditionally ends up right into the illuminati's pockets. After all, all secret operations cost a lot of money, and this is gathered together in various illegal manners. For example, taxes are levied which cannot be found in any law, the CIA controls the worldwide drug trade, and their central banks are pressing money without backing it with anything of real value, like gold. In other words, the money comes from thin air! They enjoy the fact that they keep secrets from the people; this forms a strong tie between them. And for years the people have proved to be apathetic enough for them to execute many sinister plans. Only few members within the illuminati actually know everything, because the pyramid structure of the system has been arranged so that only a handful of people can overlook the entire picture. The rest all work on a basis of "need to know": nothing more is told them than necessary. ٠•● Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Technology grows at an exponential rate. Singularity, the moment when the power of a computer and its artificial intelligence will surpass the capacity of a human brain, is predicted within a decade. It will create a rupture in human society that will see smart machines take over all the tasks necessary for its good functioning and its development including scientific, technological and perhaps even philosophical,. The people will be served by machines much smarter than themselves but designed to be totally devoted to their masters. "The smart machines are leading the revolution" ★ Paradism is the movement that best prepares hUmaNITY to the transformations that are currently giving birth to a society without work. The rest of the political spectrum keeps promising the people more jobs and is only creating friction and a chaos endangering our survival. They give us a bleak vision of the future when actually it will be glorious. Don’t let yourself be deceived. Tomorrow the only jobs WE will create will be for the machines. And that is a very good thing. "Give the jobs to the machines and free the people" ★ When all human needs will be handled by computers and robots and all products are made abundant, there will be no need for money. The money system can only exist in a state of scarcity. The economic agents to survive in the money system try hard to maintain a high level of prices by perpetuating the state of scarcity through limiting production, planned obsolescence, consumerism, protectionism, licensing etc... The problem WE face is not one of creating abundance but one of distributing it. WE will need to invite everyONE to the big table and share. As people lose their source of income along with their jobs, the gain of productivity should give them the same level of quality of life if not a higher one. "There is no reason to fall into poverty considering the level of technology WE have now" ★ Our technologies of production are progressing fast. They carry with them the disappearance of money. Machines that can manufacture any object of any shape are already in existence. Today, these machines could provide everyONE with all the necessities and luxury items in almost no time, at almost no cost. Soon everything from a spanner to a sports car can be made on demand, on location and for free. Paradism will make the development of nanotechnology one of its highest priorities. Nano-replicators or nanobots will be designed to assemble anything atom by atom. Using the materials they extract directly from the ground they will be able to replicate any object including our food and make dishes to the recipes of our choice At our request, food will be synthesised to our desired tastes and textures. It will be an exact or an enhanced copy of its natural equivalent. Farm lands will then return to their natural states or be developed at our own leisure. When money would have disappeared, everything will have to be offered and the true value of things will be measured by the LOVE of the ONE´s who give. Technology is putting an end to our slavery from work and money. A human being cannot be made a slave, a subject or be turned into a sheep. It is a crime against hUmaNITY. ٠•● Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ LOVE, ONE Inner Light & a New Earth to EveryONE ★

Fashion, Editorial and Advertising Photography: Reflection on the context and destination for the work

Why do I think this project is interesting:

The project began as an exploration of uses for makeup outside the conventional western beauty norms. This was inspired by an interest in the concept of the male gaze and therefore female cosmetics being a vehicle through which it is perpetuated. The need for beauty products in the modern world is just a part of a cycle seen throughout nature, where either the male or the female attempts to attract a mate through colour, speed, dancing or appearance etc. I merely see female makeup use as an extension of this instinct, at least as much as to influence first impressions of a person. Therefore, I figured that makeup when applied differently could subvert this. Obvious historical examples such as war paint or ritualistic face painting is common around the world, as it was used for a variety of purposes - for example cherokee indian tribes would paint their faces to: receive favour from particular gods, to identify members of the tribe in the heat of battle and also to incite fear in their enemies.

The two makeup designs that I decided upon for the two studio shoots and the currently immediate future of my project, focus on the idea of the wearer belonging to someone. The images with the lines on the face relate to traditional woad makeup of the ancient britons whose designs or patterns would be specific to giving oneself or surrendering oneself to a particular deity - at least in battle or ritual. By drawing these lines on the face they are ‘surrendering’ themselves to the whim of the specific god, in exchange for good favour in battle, hunting or exploration (as a small set of examples). This is a metaphorical form of consensual control over their lives - this is important when I explain the second style of makeup I have used.

The images containing the handprints I feel take this idea further and in a more specific manner. A black handprint on the face of a young woman in the American Indian Akicita tribe would state that she had come of age, and was eligible to marry. The hand used was her father’s, and he should be approached to ask for her hand. To me, the handprint symbolises: her lack of choice in her own affairs and an obvious aesthetic indication of her lack of voice or control. Further to this, the paint used was an ancient, traditionally made substance, which therefore admits each woman it is applied to is just a part in a continuation within a time-worn cycle - much akin to the natural instinctual cycle which I referenced earlier. (This is using information in the book; ‘Face Paint: The Story of Makeup’ Lisa Eldridge (2015))

By using the same styles and designs today, ones which are no longer used traditionally elsewhere any longer, I intend to fulfil my initial interest in different uses for makeup, but also integrate the themes which accompany these designs as a part of a commentary on female equality. That despite this use for makeup not being one which inspires attraction, it does symbolically and historically comply with the issue of the male gaze. 

I think that by using young female models, I am indicating a continuation of the male/female control issue seen hundreds of years ago is still present to some degree today. This is important because although the equality gap is closing (especially compared to times which the hand prints reference), it cannot be considered equal yet. 

My Portfolio contains two styles of image. Those shot in the style of an advertising beauty product campaign, where I am trying to give the idea that all makeup can be considered a watered-down form of the handprint seen in the images. This mirrors the development in equality we seen, from almost no control over their lives a few hundred years ago (speaking generally) to today’s situation. Today’s beauty makeup is far less aggressive visually, compared to the styles I have shown, which evidence the smaller gender gap between men and women. By caricaturing the problem, in the sense that the makeup I used is exaggerated, I intend to spotlight that the problem does still exist despite the grounds made in recent years. The advertising of beauty cosmetics perpetuates the presence of the male gaze and the necessity for physical attraction - and apparently the male control over this issue. Therefore the need to satisfy the concept of attracting a male, is only reinforcing the same control that the akicitan males held over their women. 

The environmental portraiture is then an extension of this. As I wanted to indicate the breadth of the issue affecting women from all backgrounds, and that everyone is influenced by it. The imagery does also suggest domestic abuse cases and could be used as a campaign exploring this subject matter. It fits my portfolio as a whole as it is another form of exerting control over someone else, both physically and psychologically. Although my body of work looks at the gender equality gap as a whole, it is interesting for me to explore specific aspects of this as the project can be taken in a variety of directions in the future, this being just one of them that I have chosen to explore in this portfolio. It is one facet of a bigger issue.

This project is very current. Problems around sexuality, gender and equality being approached within the art world is nothing new, however, mainstream outputs being open to these issues is something that is different. Destinations for work outside of the gallery space are becoming interested in more controversial or opinionated work which has a meaning to it, due to a range of reasons, one of which is the integration of social media and online communication into viewer’s everyday lives. For example, National Geographic’s January issue was focused on trans-equality, much to the uproar of some of its readers.

I see this work fitting two campaign destinations, both of which are online. I think the work’s context is more fitting to this location rather than a traditional print output as the audience is of a younger demographic which is typically more open to the messages present in my work. Each new generation seems more flexible in their opinions and more accepting of differences than those before them, therefore my work may be more valuable to an output which targets these people. More specifically, online magazines such as En Vie and Stardust. Both of which run interesting editorial spreads which are open to projects which inspire opinion and presenting them to their audience. Otherwise, I feel Instagram is another suitable location for this work. Physically all the images in the portfolio can be cropped to a square format in an aesthetically pleasing way, as Instagram asks for. The images are strong enough individually to generate an interest in stopping to look at them, and the message is detailed enough to be used across multiple posts. 

I think the work is effective in the way that a satirical newspaper artist is effective. By no means is this the only or the biggest way that these issues are ingrained in society (women’s use of makeup, its link to the male gaze, and hence inequality), but by picking one facet of it, and emphasising or exaggerating it, I hope to bring attention to the entire topic. I am fully aware that conforming to the ideas I have presented is not the only reason that women wear make up makeup, however for the point that I am making, it is hard to take every reason into account or the message would be lost.
