Happy Cephalopodmas!

Previous posts and fighting off the tentacles of Cthulhu-like holiday shoppers inspired me to look for some unusual gifts for your loved ones into Lovecraft, the Necronomicon, Goth, or just the downright weird. Extending on the Cthulhu theme, I found many other strange goodies available for gift giving. You have the “Happy Cephalopodmas” shirt, and a wonderful Japanese doll holding her pet Cthulhu. For the younger set, how about a stuffed Cthulhu, or a plastic Cthulhu doll set with little victims to attack? For the lover of politics in your family, how about a “Cthulhu For President” shirt? And for those into all things dark, there’s a site called “Dark Side of The Net-Shops and Services”, with some very unusual items. Seasons Beatings, everyone!

An inspiration for occult aesthetics everywhere

Princess Voodoo Whatever

Voodoo Princess Clarice was a choice link I decided to click from off to the side of Technoccult here. It’s part of the Google Ads thing.

Aside from Bush playing as I peruse the website, other gems include the aniGIF lightning bolts wallpaper, the slick ASCII illustration (ACiD, eat your hearts out), and then there’s the spells… for sale:

Voodoo Princess Clarice is known for her powerful healing rituals and her love spells. These powerful spells have been handed down through the years from the most noted voodoo practitioners in voodoo history. Regardless of your situation, my powerful ancient love spells can restore love, passion, romance and commitment or remove or place a hex or get revenge. Whatever your heart desires, I am Princess Clarice.

Rev Max, you got any sort of deduction here? I get from this that professionally working voodoo priestesses listen to pop rock, are into video game fantasy art, and can cast spells as easy as I can roll a D20 to smite my ex-girlfriends.

Voodoo Princess Clarice’s spell list includes plenty of love-me spells for those of you too lame to grow a pair and start talking to cuties at the library or caf?, weight-loss spells for people who don’t feel it’s necessary to get regular exercise or eat relatively healthy, the interesting stop-a-divorce spell for those of you who are too afraid to admit when it might be over and move on into the new experiences life has to offer you, pregnancy spells (also known as needles-and-condom ends), and an assortment of favourites for the whole family.

I want to beat myself up now simply via 3? association. More on how occultists see themselves and are seen by others here.

The Kybalion. For free. On Google Books. It’s Hermetic. From 1908.

Awesome occult mood-setting imagery from FellI recently read on Boing Boing about a book that expounds on The Secret, un-commercially called The Secret Source: The Law of Attraction is One of Seven Hermetic Laws: Here Are the Other Six (link). Using the usual occult description (whereas I just throw in clich? occult imagery for effect… though it did come up in an image search for “Kybalion”):

The Secret Source goes above and beyond the media phenomenon known as The Secret to reveal the powerful occult doctrines that gave birth to ‘The Law of Attraction.’

The Secret Source traces the seven Hermetic Laws back to ancient Greece and Egypt and shows how they filtered down through various religions and into the mainstream consciousness of the modern world. This book provides the actual texts and fascinating stories behind the ‘Emerald Tablet,’ the Kabbalistic treatise known as ‘The Kybalion,’ and the prosperity consciousness beliefs of the New Thought movement that have given sustenance to health and wealth-oriented seekers of every generation since the late 19th century.

If you recognized the power behind ‘The Law of Attraction’ but felt ambivalent about The Secret’s materially-driven, infomercial style approach, you will appreciate this deeper understanding and examination of the Law’s true nature.

Or you can just read The Kybalion here for free on Google Books. (Wikipedia entry.) Enjoy.

The Seven Principles of Kybalion Awesomeness:-

  • Principle of Mentalism
    The Principle of Mentalism embodies the truth that “All is Mind.”
  • Principle of Correspondence
    The Principle of Correspondence embodies the idea that there is always a correspondence between the laws of phenomena of the various “planes” of being and life. As above, so below; as below, so above.
  • Principle of Vibration
    The Principle of Vibration embodies the idea that motion is manifest in everything in the Universe, that nothing rests, and everything moves, vibrates, and circles.
  • Principle of Polarity
    The Principle of Polarity embodies the idea that everything is dual, everything has two poles, and everything has its opposite.
  • Principle of Rhythm
    The Principle of Rhythm embodies the idea that in everything there is manifested a measured motion, a to and fro, a flow and inflow, a swing backward and forward, a pendulum-like movement.
  • Principle of Cause and Effect
    The Principle of Cause and Effect explains that there is a cause for every effect, and an effect for every cause. It also states that there is no such thing as chance, that chance is merely a term indicating extant causes not recognized or perceived.
  • Principle of Gender
    The Principle of Gender embodies the idea that there gender is manifested in everything. The authors state this does not relate to “sex,” but to “… beget; to procreate, to generate, to create, or to produce” in general. Gender is manifested as the Masculine and Feminine principles, and manifests itself on all planes. [More on this here.]

Matthew 6:5?8

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

MATTHEW 6:5-8

Germany moves to ban Scientology

Germany’s top security officials said Friday they consider the goals of the Church of Scientology to be in conflict with the principles of the nation’s constitution and will seek to ban the organization.

The interior ministers of the nation’s 16 states plan to give the nation’s domestic intelligence agency the task of preparing the necessary information to ban the organization, which has been under observation for a decade on allegations that it “threatens the peaceful democratic order” of the country.

The Church of Scientology, in a response sent to CNN, denounced the German proposal, calling it out of step with various international court rulings.

On The LAM

“The latest Fortean Times is a special issue looking at various aspects of Crowley to mark the 60th anniversary of his death, on the 1st. I’ve had my copy for a day or two and had time to read through a number of articles and they are all excellent but the one that stands out is the one by Alan Chapman looking at the LAM hypothesis.”

HAARP’s military applications revealed

HAARP

For years, no military program has sparked more fevered speculation from conspiracy theorists than the mysterious High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, or HAARP. And for years, the Pentagon has been pooh-poohing speculation that the enormous collection of transmitters, radars, and magnetometers in Alaska was some sort of superweapon.

But, it turns out, the conspiracy theorists may not have been entirely off-base, after all.

[…]

“HAARP’s main job is to produce radio waves to probe the ionosphere,” an Air Force Research Laboratory officer said in October.

[…]

HAARP can actually perform a lot of militarily important functions, all involving the interactions of radio waves with the high atmosphere, magnetosphere and ionosphere.

The document points out that “on the higher frequency end (VHF/UHF) transionospheric propagation is a ubiquitous element of numerous civilian and military communication systems, surveillance and remote sensing systems.” In other words, messing with the ionosphere means you can shut down VHF radio, TV and radar signals at will. As radio hams know, the reflection and refraction effects of the ionosphere make a huge difference to long-range radio reception, and HAARP provides the only means of influencing that.
