    Keep in mind that the I read text is over 200 years old and that the ‘left-hand’ term is self named, meaning the pract*tioners themselves used the term and that it doesnt refer to any later category popularized by Western Traditions, aka, OTO, and etc. Popular culture has the image of the Voodoo priestess, but at the time, women were forbidden to…[Read more]

    Mr Putin is impressive. Its refreshing to watch an interview with an articulate, intelligent world leader. The contrast with American politicians is embarrassing. Nice history lesson, too.

    Jay has earlier blogs where he discusses the work of Gould and Fitzgerald. Absolutely essential in understanding the back story of geopolitics in Afghanistan. Fascinating and enlightening material.

    Absolutely, Kahlypso, I dont give power to any occult source that I study. This, however, had nothing to do with the syncretization of West African theology and Catholicism. Voodoo, as observed from a Western perspective, appears to center it’s power in the rituals of feminine participants. And while this is observably evident, there is also a…[Read more]

    The course’s text book I read made The Serpent and the Rainbow (still have that one) look like a cartoon on the back of a cereal box. I felt spiritually vulnerable simply reading it, and I’ve read a fair amount of occult works. Even if I wanted to remember the ti-tle, I could not, in good conscious, recommend it to anyone.

    Yes, please! Add insane McCain, while youre at it.

    Oh.
    I took many folklore courses in college and one in particular, on Haiti and Vodun, was especially chilling. The text was one of a few books I’ve had to get out of my house. It was a primary source of left-hand practices that only men undertook and explained the rituals involved that were used against the French and American governments. I’ve…[Read more]

    • Check “The Serpent and the Rainbow” by Wade Davis (1997) – could now be re-read with an eye to both transhumanism and the search for disquieting ancient techniques.

      • Don’t worry this is not a grimoire!

      • Evil books do exist unfortunately…

    • Psychosomatic death and Tetrodotoxin.
      It’s interesting that Voodoo is practised by men, when the practise was introduced to African’s by the sale of pagan woman from Ireland by Cromwell into the slave trade. Well.. Voodoo dolls at any rate.
      Do NOT fear Voodoo, you are enabling it to have power.
      Think more in terms of .. the power of faith.…[Read more]

    • Hatred works very well for spell casting.. think willpower and theta waves. Nothing more powerful than your mind.

    THAT is Lovely!!

  • Harvey's Barn posted a new activity comment 8 years, 10 months ago

    Not that every post needs to be liked. All in the spirit of reciprocity. 🙂

  • Harvey's Barn posted a new activity comment 8 years, 10 months ago

    You never know. You could have inspired a fellow member who is here now because of your gift.

  • Harvey's Barn posted a new activity comment 8 years, 10 months ago

    I dont always get notified when you ‘like’ a post, but was notified that you commented.
    Thanks, Dana. 🙂

  • Has anyone else noticed that this forum doesnt consistently notify you when another member ‘likes’ a post or reply? Regardless of being ‘friends’ or not, although, it does seem to notify when there is a comment. I havent changed any settings.

  • Harvey's Barn posted a new activity comment 8 years, 10 months ago

    I never tire of these interviews. Every listen deepens my understanding.

  • Harvey's Barn posted a new activity comment 8 years, 10 months ago

    Fellow member Curt posted earlier about Twin Peaks…
    Ive got to start from the beginning and play catch up with you guys.
