Two of my favorite online writers remain zac over at alchemically braindamaged and Kent Bentowski of the Kentroversy Papers. Perhaps it’s something about them both having self-initiated as magicians or the personality they both bring to their topics of focus. It certainly wouldn’t be because they necessarily share the same reality map, though! [...]

When Did Joe Rogan Turn into Bill Hicks?
Posted in celebrity idolatry, media, pop culture on June 29, 2007 | 22 Comments »
On a random note, I recently read an interview with Joe Rogan, done by the online incarnation of that venerable American parody-magazine, Cracked.
Unfortunately, no Sylvester P. Smythe in sight.
Despite the Spectacular travesty Rogan participated in on television (Fear Factor), he comes off sounding quite self-aware and even, shall we say Bill Hicks-ish in the interview. [...]
Alexander T. “Sasha” Shulgin: An Alchemist After All?
Posted in Consciousness & Alternate Perception, conspiracy poetics on June 28, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Not too long ago, I wrote a piece on Alexander T. “Sasha” Shulgin, the pioneering drug chemist and the possibly alchemical connections between his two drug-autobiographies, PIHKAL and TIHKAL. There, I mentioned a very curious news article I discovered which had him playing viola with an orchestra at a gig during the infamous Bohemian [...]

In the near future, true believers in Christ all over the world will mysteriously disappear from the earth. Jesus will descend from heaven and take his brides (Born-again Christians) into His kingdom…Anyone in whom the Lord Jesus Christ does not dwell will be left on this earth after the Rapture…The shocking effect about the [...]

Grok and grow silent.

Mermaid Parade and Offerings to the Sea
Posted in religious history on June 23, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Today is the annual Mermaid Parade at Coney Island in New York City. The parade was founded in 1983 by Coney Island USA, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the American sideshow as an art form. The festival itself, though, is done as an homage or perhaps commemoration of New York City’s very [...]
Culture of Contact Convention
Posted in Consciousness & Alternate Perception, conspiracy poetics, mysticcult, occult on June 22, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I’ve just learned that, aside of the Mermaid Parade this weekend at Coney Island (with its symbolism of King Neptune and other Mer-folk), there is also a very different kind of “UFO abductee” gathering this weekend in the city. It’s called the Culture of Contact Multi-Media Festival, which begins today and goes through Sunday [...]
Jim Keith’s Words of Wisdom from the Great Beyond…with a pinch of “Help I’m a Rock!”
Posted in but NOT The Big Something, conspiracy poetics, pointing at The Big Something, provocative filler on June 21, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I just found an interview/round-table discussion featuring the late, great conspiracy researcher Jim Keith, master of Dharma Combat. Keith was one of the first to explore the inter-governmental Project Echelon, a global surveillance system built upon the back of stolen PROMIS software, put in place during Bill Clinton’s reign, well before the War of [...]
You and the Trees

Open your eyes
And listen
closely.
Trees talk
through leaves and branches,
slowly.
They need the wind to do it,
like you need the air
moving through your lungs.
Watch and listen,
wholly.
Feel.
The Dead Sea Scroll Shrine of the Book: Another Glimpse of Mysticult Geography?
Posted in Personal Speculation, mysticcult, religious history, spirituality on June 18, 2007 | 4 Comments »
While searching about online to finish the piece on Minerva and Herald Square (Mysticult Geography, pt. 2), I came across the website of Minerva Magazine Online: The International Review of Ancient Art & Archeology. The site has a very brief, but informative editorial essay regarding the history of controversies surrounding the Dead Sea scrolls. [...]
