There’s a fine line between coincidence and fate.

We all have inner demons to fight. We call these demons ‘fear’ and ‘hatred’ and ‘anger’. If you don’t conquer them then a life of a hundred years is a tragedy. If you do, a life of a single day can be a triumph.





1. We practice rites to attune ourselves with the natural rhythm
of life forces marked by the phases of the moon and the
Seasonal Quarters and Cross-Quarters.
2. We recognize that our intelligence gives us a unique
responsibility towards our environment. We seek to live in
harmony with nature, in ecological balance offering
fulfillment to life and consciousness within an evolutionary
concept.
3. We acknowledge a depth of power far greater than that apparent
to the average person. Because it is far greater than ordinary
it is sometimes called "supernatural", but we see it as lying
within that which is naturally potential to all.
4. We conceive of the Creative Power in the universe as manifest
through polarity -- as masculine and feminine -- and that same
Creative power lies in all people, and functions through the
interaction of masculine and feminine. We value neither above
the other, knowing each to be supportive to the other. We
value sex as pleasure, as the symbol and embodiment of life,
and as one of the sources of energies used in magical practice
and religious worship.
5. We recognize both outer worlds and inner, or psychological,
worlds known sometimes as the Spiritual World, the Collective
Unconscious, Inner Planes, etc. - and we see in the
interaction of these two dimensions the basis for paranormal
phenomena and magical exercises. We neglect neither dimension
for the other, seeing both as necessary for our fulfillment.
6. We do not recognize any authoritarian hierarchy, but do honor
those who teach, respect those who share their greater
knowledge and wisdom, and acknowledge those who courageously
give of themselves in leadership.
7. We see religion, magic, and wisdom in living as being united
in the way one views the world and live within it - a world
view and philosophy of life which we identify as Witchcraft.
8. A Witch seeks to control the forces within themselves that make
life possible in order to live wisely and well without harm to
others and in harmony with Nature.
9. We believe in the affirmation and fulfillment of life in a
continuation of evolution and development of consciousness
giving meaning to the Universe we know and our personal role
within it.
10. As Witches, we are not threatened by debates on the
history of the Craft, the origins of various terms, the
legitimacy of various aspects of different traditions. We are
concerned with our present and our future.
11. We do not accept the concept of absolute evil, nor do we
worship any entity known as "Satan" or "the Devil", as defined
by the Christian tradition. We do not seek power through the
suffering of others, nor accept that personal benefit can be
derived only by denial to another.
12. We believe that we should seek within Nature that which is
contributory to our health and well-being.




To be free, a man must follow the Way that leads to the place where he dwelt before he was born.

The world stands still in the moments that I am watching you, watching me.

tradition…—… *antebellum ghosts wandering the streets looking for a tasty morsel, the swish of ball gowns and the flutter of evangeline eye lashes, the faint echo…’throw me something mister’, a city washed in blood but too late for confession*

smell…—… *jasmine saturated nights, spices on boil, chicory coffee brewing, the smell of a hurricane ready for landfall*

touch…—…*her sticky wetness, that little love/hate thing that pings your heart when you’re away and makes you want to catch the next bus out, the sweat running down your body as that squeeky fan overhead gives its all but never wins, et al ];-)*

sound…—… *that lazy dialect that sounds so good rollin off the lips of a creole lady but can be so guttural it just wants to make you scream, musical notes creeping around the corner like a crit du chat, a barge horn amplified by the low fog that’s settled during the night, the rain tap dancing on the roof*

taste…—…*indescribable*
Two Kings In a Cipher had a song called “C’mon Atcha” that was the jam, which caused me to buy that shit back in the day. EthER thE Radkial’s debut Blavkk Pyramidz with it’s lyrcial intelligentsia and noveau beats à la T<K<C with a dash of MC Mr. Liif had me reminiscing. Uncooked… *music & content* not like today’s tinkerbell beats with bling bling blind choruses. It is good to know music like this is still droppin’.

Symbols are very powerful and can be extremely useful tools in the creation of your world. The ancients understood the power of symbols and used them extensively in their culture for protection, fertility, wealth, crop germination, death and birth rituals. The use of a symbol for a particular task does not in itself bring about these conditions; consciousness must do that. However, using a symbol geared toward a certain thing can help consciousness target and release the energy pattern necessary to bring about the desired manifestation.
In this way, symbols are like road maps, leading the individual toward a desired goal. The road is not a real road with dirt and stone. The road, in this case, is energy. Energy, like a roadway, can twist and bend and connect two things together that normally would be disassociated.
Energy is no different than a physical road. In fact, at a sub-atomic level, that’s all your physical roads are, energy. Hoards of energy-units bind together to form the physical roads that you travel. The solidness of the road comes from the accretion of the energy field.
An energy pathway is just like our road except the energy units’ numbers are less and not as compact as a physical road so the solid quality is not there. You can’t see it, or walk on it, or touch it, however, the pathway exists and your consciousness can follow it, consciously and unconsciously, just as easily as walking down a physical road.
The symbol itself acts like a key that helps you to hone-in on a particular energy pathway. Normally you may miss this energy pathway because it is unfamiliar. A symbol keyed to that particular energy pattern can help point the way by amplifying that aspect to a point where it can’t go unnoticed any longer. Even unconsciously, a symbol can bring a needed aspect into focus so that consciousness can go and begin to create that aspect.
Consciousness accomplishes this genesis by connecting you to the energy pathway that the symbol brings into focus. It will siphon off some of the energy and use that energy to create that aspect within its reality.
You will know when a symbol accomplishes its purpose because you will no longer feel the need to have it with you. When that time comes, put the symbol away for future use or give it to another person to use. The energy that you’ve added to that symbol can go on to help someone else. An object in the shape of the symbol, or with a symbol scribed on it, can become a very powerful device after it passes through several people. Each person utilizing that device will enhance the effectiveness of that device and add to the energy pathway.
Symbols effectively change the world you live in through the realignment of your consciousness. They can provide access to worlds you’ve never imagined. Bon voyage!!!





Let us consider the “feelings’ of a molecule of Hydrogen in the presence of one of Oxygen or of Chlorine. It is made to suffer intensely by the extremity of its deviation from the perfect type of monad, an element supremely opposed to its own nature. So far as it is an egoist, its reaction must be scorn and hatred; but as it understands by the true shame that is put upon its separateness by the presence of its opposite, these feelings turn to anguished yearning. It begins to crave the electric spark which will enable it to assuage its pangs by the annihilation of all those properties which constitute its separate existence, in the rapture of union, and at the same time to fulfill its passion to create a perfect type of Peace.

The soul is a vehicle, the instrument by which the Mind is brought into contact with the dust of Matter, that it may feel it, judge it, and react to it.



The point is, not to resist the flow. You go up when you’re supposed to go up and down when you’re supposed to go down. When you’re supposed to go up, find the highest tower and climb to the top. When you’re supposed to go down, find the deepest well and go down to the bottom. When there’s no flow, stay still. If you resist the flow, everything dries up. If everything dries up, the world is darkness.






For the Angel of Death spread her wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as she passed,
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!

But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word. – Isaiah 66:2















I don’t believe in trouble
I don’t believe in pain
I don’t believe there’s nothing left
But running here again
I don’t believe in promise
I don’t believe in chance
I don’t believe you can resist
The things that make no sense
I don’t believe in silence
‘Cause silence seems so slow
I don’t believe in energy
The tension is too low
I don’t believe in panic
I don’t believe in fear
I don’t believe in prophecies
So don’t waste any tears
I don’t believe reality
Would be the way it should
But I believe in fantasy
The future’s understood
I don’t believe in history
I don’t believe in truth
I don’t believe that’s destiny
Or someone to accuse
I believe





The 8-Circuit Model Of Consciousness
Here’s a rundown of the first four lower circuits:
1st circuit: Survival/Security. Fight or flight or somewhere in between. Pure instinct. This is connected to the first source of this conflict: nursing at Mom’s nipple. It’s what’s known in developmental psychology as ‘oral’.
2nd circuit: Territorial/Emotional. This is a particular manifestation of ’emotional’- are you feeling up or down? Are you on top of the world or down in the dumps? This relates to the basic primate pecking order – who’s the big dog and all? This one is full of stereotypes – all the examples I have given are male, yet every female knows there’s just as much game-playing between women. Women traditionally have been made submissive to men, but in many cases that’s not the case, and in any case there’s a lot of passive-aggressive ways the tables are turned in each direction. This corresponds to the ‘anal’ stage, and the first imprints are taken during toilet training.
3rd circuit: Conceptual. This kicks in even before school starts – kids are hungry to learn. This circuit is the ability to make mental models helping you ‘figure things out’ and ‘be clever’. The imprint you take is whether you feel smart or stupid (which is different from BEING smart or stupid!) Note also that there are different KINDS of intelligence- verbal, mathematical, visual/spatial, musical, etc, etc… but as Robert Anton Wilson says, “…the people with the verbal intelligence have control of the language, so they call themselves the intellectuals.” A friend always mentions a particular basketball player (I forget who) whom he claims is a genius in spatial/motor intelligence, regardless of the fact that the guy probably reads at a 7th grade level.
4th circuit: Social/Sexual. Whereas 2nd circuit deals with who bosses who, 4th deals with who is cool. What this comes down to is that depending on whether someone is cool or not, you’d let them get close to you or not, running the gamut from snubbing someone to having sex with them with fifty shades of gray in between. It goes both ways- how cool are you? Are there people that you aren’t cool enough to talk to? The imprint you take here is how cool you feel, and how hard you have to work to feel that way.
The upper circuits deal with mystical, psychic, or paranormal consciousness. They are built on the foundation of the lower circuits, almost as ‘over-driven’ versions of themselves.
5th circuit: Bliss/Healing. When security in the 1st circuit reaches a high enough level, it becomes bliss, and you become aware of the sensation of pleasure and learn to generate those sensations at the source. This feedback loop gets going, and one may remain in this state indefinitely or until an outside influence causes a drop, altering this state. When this awareness is applied to others, the 5th circuit energy works to help the 1st circuit state. This is the principle of healing.
6th circuit: Psychic. This is awareness of the timeless information network in which we swim. It also relates directly to the territorial aspect of the 2nd circuit. Interaction is based on relative gravity and there can be conflict.
7th circuit: Mythical Intelligence. This is the realm of the shaman, of spirit animals, gods and goddesses. It is your dreams and your nightmares. 3rd circuit draws models of specifics in the conscious world. 7th circuits draws models of the patterns of archetype that make up the unconscious world. It does this by telling stories that illustrate the patterns that arise from these archetypes. When 7th circuit awareness is working, one realizes how these patterns are being played out, and instead of just acting in the world, one is at the same time coming into direct contact with the divine.
8th circuit: Alternate consciousness. This enters the far reaches of consciousness. Since 4th circuit has to do with letting others get close and even merging with them, it makes sense that the 8th might have to do with overcoming the obstacle of one’s physical boundaries. Imagination is your trusty companion in this endeavor. It is in this circuit that the puppet becomes the puppet-master. Time expands and contracts. Is that air you’re breathing?



Then there are those certain others who relish finer air from the other end of the spectrum, who just seem to stumble happily from one grand event to the next with the path at their feet littered in precocious abundance with all. [sic]

Day in and day out, they endlessly suffer because it is in the cards for them to suffer. From their fleeting birth moment of sheer biological equality with their gestational peers (which lasts only micro-seconds until the demographics of the hut you were born in take over as the prime predictor of your fate) to their most certain and predictable end in death’s waiting arms, their ticket has been cleanly punched and there’s nothing they can do about it.

You are what you will to be;
Let failure find its false content
In chaste piety, money spent,
But the Spirit scorns it, and flies free.
It masters time, it conquers space;
It cows the boastful trickster, Chance,
And bids the tyrant Circumstance,
Uncrowned, to fill a servant’s place.
The human Will, force unseen,
The offspring of an immortal Soul,
Hews the way to any goal,
Though granite walls intervene.
Do not be impatient in delay,
But stop as one who understands;
When the Spirit rises and commands,
That God is ready to obey.

The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.
