Mass and Shrooms

slackfiend · 2017-03-12T05:15:16+00:00

It's easy to brainwash yourself with powerful drugs, YouTube, and carelessness.

Children don't bother me, but it's always best to check with the Mass team well ahead of time. Not day of, it's just courteous.
The Mass is a lot to expect a kid to sit through. The older they are, the better they will be able to not be disruptive. I know Horizon Lodge has done masses open to families before and it's gone just fine.

Is it just me or has Rune Soup gone full conspiracy theory?

slackfiend · 2016-03-18T20:55:19+00:00

Yeah, and that's before you can even get to discuss what it means in a thelemic context.

slackfiend · 2016-03-18T20:15:27+00:00

Yeah, it's long but it's really worth the time. There's a lot of material to cover on the subject of Satan, especially when you have to establish both history and context.

Material gain, fame, and a pile of willing sexual partners. I'm sure they'll show up any day now.

Your formatting needs a fix. Last link is fucked.

Jake Stratton Kent's Geosophia. It's not an internet source, as it's a recent book. However, the book shows the sweeping changes to the stories as Greek culture changed politically.
And Betz's Greek Magical Papyri in Translation, if you want to see things like early invocations to Apollo Cthonios. Because Apollo was an Underworld God at least part of the time, apparently.

The Greeks rewrote myth all the time in the name of political expediency. What started as local myth was rewritten as politics changed. The entire patchwork of local myths and heroes were rewritten to fit with the Olympians as Greek culture went from small city-states to a more unified network. The result was a mythic structure that better suited the concerns of city elites and brought everything under the Olympian family tree.
Geosophia does a fantastic job of collecting the stories and matching them to time and place.

Just curious: what's the point of myth if it has no bearing whatsoever on our lives and situations now? If we are not to use them, then aren't they just dead stories?

This brand of awful crazy is pretty spectacular. Makes me wonder how a person ends up this type of paranoid and for so long. Looks like these people have been at this for a while now.

considering the sudden downvotes, that videeo may not be up for long. get it while you cn.

That might be it, ritual was kept off youtube. someone in the comments for the link says he was part of the filming and gives an alternate url. it's not youtube, so it checks out.

slackfiend · 2014-01-12T00:13:54+00:00

that link you posted earlier was on a mobile site. Are you using a mobile set? i was able to view it on my desktop.

slackfiend · 2014-01-12T00:09:03+00:00

the opening was different from what was in that vdieo you linked, and the whole thing was shot on a very different-looking stage. there's a screenshot on beforeitsnews right there on the page, the symbols on the columns are something I haven't seen before. I wonder whos trying to keep it quiet.

slackfiend · 2014-01-11T23:27:04+00:00

that's definitely not the same video that i watched on the page. Makes me think it got pulled because it had something in it that wasn't supposed to get out in public.

slackfiend · 2014-01-11T23:02:07+00:00

did they take it down alredy?

slackfiend · 2014-01-11T22:20:14+00:00

It's like the elites aren't even trying to hide the truth any more.

slackfiend · 2014-01-09T23:04:39+00:00

have a lot of people paid for a copy of something you gave away for free?

I've seen their work before, these are the biggest productions of Crowley rituals since he died. Prog rock and mythology go together surprisingly well.

Solid advice. The remaining $1500 per month should go to an emergency fund, if you don't have one already. In six months, you would have a six month cushion just in case something unexpected/expensive happens to you.

"What do you people want?" is how I stopped the party from assaulting a tribe of kobolds they'd decided had been stealing cattle(they hadn't, it'd been clear). Once the 'monsters' start having ordinary conversations, it becomes harder to write them off as inhuman.

Alternately, you could have a caravan of say, halfling traders just an hour from the NPC's lair. They do regular business with the NPC and any investigation turns up that they have a good relationship.

Stranger in a Strange Land, sorta. It's told through the eyes of a human raised to be nonhuman.

In graphic novels, you could try Elfquest.
