  1. Mercury/Hermes

    Ahhhh .... one of my 'patrons' . I have written many posts here on the benefits and necessity of 'having' Mercury . For a Magician , Mercury is of prime importance . Let's dive into the deep end first Majesty of the Godhead, Wisdom-crowned Thoth, Lord of the Gates of the Universe: Thee, Thee we invoke! O Thou of the Ibis head: Thee, Thee we invoke! Thou who wieldest the Wand of Double Power: Thee, Thee we invoke! Thou who bearest in Thy left hand the Rose and Cross of Light and Life: Thee, Thee we invoke! O Thou whose head is as an Emerald, and Thy Nemyss as the night sky-blue! Thou whose skin is of flaming orange, as though it burned in a furnace: Thee, Thee we invoke! Behold, I am yesterday, to-day, and the brother of The Morrow! I am born again and again. Mine is the unseen force from which the Gods are sprung; that giveth life unto the dwellers in the watch-towers of the Universe. I am the charioteer of the East, Lord of the Past and the Future. I see by mine own inward light; Lord of Resurrection, who cometh forth from the dusk, and whose birth is from the House of Death. O ye two divine hawks upon your pinnacles, who keep watch over the Universe! Ye who company the bier unto the House of Rest. Ye who pilot the Ship of Ra, ever advancing onwards unto the heights of Heaven! Lord of the Shrine which standeth in the centre of the Earth! Behold He is in me and I in Him! Mine is the radiance in which Ptah floateth over his firmament. I travel upon high. I tread upon the firmament of Nu. I raise a flashing flame with the lightning of mine eye, ever rushing forward in the splendour of the daily glorified Ra, giving my life to the dwellers of Earth. If I say “come up upon the mountains,” The Celestial waters shall flow at my word; For I am Ra incarnate, Khephra created in the flesh! I am the image of my Father Tmu, Lord of the City of the Sun! The God who commands is in my mouth; The God of Wisdom is in my heart: My tongue is the sanctuary of Truth: And a God sitteth upon my lips! My word is accomplished each day, and the desire of my heart realises itself, like that of Ptah when he creates his works. I am Eternal; therefore everything acts according to my designs, and everything obeys my words. Therefore I say unto Thee: come forth unto me from thine abode in the Silence, unutterable Wisdom, All-light, All-power! Thoth, Hermes, Mercury, Odin, by whatever name I call Thee, Thou art still un-named and nameless to Eternity! Come thou forth, I say, and aid and guard me in this Work of Art. Thou, Star of the East that didst conduct the Magi! Thou art the same, all present in Heaven and in Hell. Thou that vibratest betwixt the Light and the Darkness. Rising, descending; changing ever, yet ever the same! The Sun in Thy Father! Thy Mother the Moon! The Wind hath borne Thee in its bosom! And Earth hath nourished the changeless Godhead of Thy Youth. Come Thou forth, I say, come Thou forth And make all spirits subject unto me! So that every spirit of the firmament, And of the Ether, Of the Earth, And under the Earth, On dry land, And in the Water, Of whirling Air, And of rushing Fire, And every spell and scourge of God, may be obedient unto Me!

    That makes more sense than using a steak knife on one !
  3. The ultimate unpopular opinions

    I support that right and will fight against the suppression of cast iron cookware .... once it 'gets out ' * they will , no doubt, try to suppress it and replace it with new super dooper high tech inferior crappy products with in built problems . * its long lasting, sturdy , can go on a heating element , in an oven or on a fire , one can use it to have an 'oven' on a fire, when 'cured' and treated properly it is entirely 'non- stick ' - which will also make it rust proof , its thick and holds the heat well for better cooking ... and of course , packs a much more solid whallop than a light aluminium one . This fry pan comes with a picture of itself on the label , so you will know what it is
  4. The ultimate unpopular opinions

    ... anyway , eventually I learned to cook and ...... to be an unpopular opinionated smarty pants ; broil is to 'grill' from an above heat source grill is to broil from a below heat source . In the UK you can broil something by grilling it . If you cook food in a fry pan with the heat below its called a frying pan , but if you put it under a gorilla ....... he will not be happy
  5. The ultimate unpopular opinions

    beware .... this is gonna be unpop .... As a youth I got a job as a kitchen''hand in a golf club . One day it was very busy and apprentice chef 2 was off sick so i got hurled into it . Some guy ordered fried brains ! WTF ... the chef yells at me ; '' Just get two out the tray in the cool room , breadcrumb them and fry them .'' I did that and they came back with a complaint ... turns out there were two batches , the ones for crumbing and frying had already been mostly cooked . There was a tray of raw ones also , to be cooked . Guess which ones I used ,

  8. The ultimate unpopular opinions

    16. To obtain Magical Power, learn to control thought; admit only those ideas that are in harmony with the end desired, and not every stray and contradictory Idea that presents itself. 17. Fixed thought is a means to an end. Therefore pay attention to the power of silent thought and meditation. The material act is but the outward expression of thy thought, and therefore hath it been said that “the thought of foolishness is sin.” Thought is the commencement of action, and if a chance thought can produce much effect, what cannot fixed thought do?

    It turns out my email is faulty and every thing I responded to did not get sent ( apparently due to me not setting my phone up properly on purchase ... I didnt 'allow' all sorts of things relating to 'spying' , following , my 'location' etc . Hopefully I fixed that with a new emali address working through my lap top ??? Anyway, I'll give it a go ( I'll send it in a PM )
  11. Stranger things

    and some people seem to think someone said what they didnt say A text followed by a picture with no link to them in the post ( although it was later explained why it was put there by the poster ) Until Cobie mutilated , cut and chopped and censored a post by someone else in a 'quote ' box , to try and make it look like what was said , she could 'validly' criticize .... again ! You might want to look at that proclivity at some stage ?
  12. Stranger things

    I'm sure you look better than that Cobie ? I would not blame yourself .... computers be causing difficulty everywhere ; Local store .... insert ..... nothing .... tap ..... nothing .... try again ' Insufficient funds ' ... go to town and try there ; same account $3600 + ??? Produce agricultural store , Norco ( northern co-operative for farmers ) - notorious system ; slow, continued attempts and fails . The other day they tell me it doesnt do that anymore as it got foxed ... but now each time the sell an item , they are required to enter three more steps than before . So, armed with a pocket full of cash I go to the local store .... nope ( computer runs the 'cash' register and 'its down ' ) Full speed ahead tech disaster ; GO G1 ! Only $16,000 !! of course ... it will be ALL OK ! Its just an old confused person that knows nothing and cannot see into the future - give 'em pork on a hot day , I reckon .
  13. Stranger things

    Thanks for the info . Now I can start an online 'how to enter Nirvana easily' course . Just come to my place on one of those 39 degree C days ... hand over the money and all your possessions ( as you will no longer need them ) and stay for lunch ;
  14. Stranger things

    A couple of days ago it was 39 deg C . Today has a predicted maximum of 33 but with a sheep / grazier alert . Grazier alerts are usually cold weather , so I checked ; tomorrow's maximum temp is predicted to be 17 deg C . And just as well we have AI auto weather computer phone prediction and warnings (or whatever they are ) a 'fire weather ' alert has been sent out ; Severity level .... significant threats to life and property. Urgency ..... 'the urgency of this alert is unknown . Affected area .... ' North coast ' . Great ! A significant threat to life but we dont know how urgent that is but somewhere up north near the coast . ( like those roadside signs that showed bushfire danger and warnings in an area . Some one ( usually from the bush fire brigade ) would unlock the sign and move the arrow around to the relevant warning level then lock it again . if it was up high , you knew you were in trouble . Now they have replaced them with high tech ' computery ' stuff . Half the time the signs are out or say ' Check on line at ....... ' or they work but the lowest level is high and the sign shows extreme on days when nothing happens - so people have got complacent about them ; '' Extreme danger ! '' .... nah , it always says that . Anyway ... danger ! Either from your lambs freezing ... or BBQing and a week of solid rain ... with possible bushfires .

  18. At least 'nutritional science' stopped boys going blind from masturbating by making them eat Kellogg's Cornflakes https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/32042/corn-flakes-were-invented-part-anti-masturbation-crusade It worked ( scientifically ) like this ; '' Right then Johhny ! If you dont stop doing ...... that ..... I will make you eat corn flakes for breakfast every day ! ''
  19. Yes, still alive, just not active

    Hi Good to hear from you. I am still alive too ... for some reason ( although the 'close calls' seem to have gone away lately ) . You have come through a lot ( including what happened during covid, volcano eruptions , life 'difficulties' .... etc . I am glad to hear you 'held the course' and now do what you were trying to achieve many years back , got over the setbacks and hurdles , learnt how to deal with and work with your 'special talents' ... in short ; followed the path of your True Will . .

    Bad tatts be cool - supposedly . A women I met had Sponge Bob tatts ...... Sponge Bob !
  21. It was about our views on science, scientists and scientism Then there was a comment about 'life sciences ' . Then we were told there is 'no such thing as a scientist ' . Then a shifting terms claim about science being this ... no that ... no actually its ... ( what was it now ? unpopoular .... not nice ... not currently 'politically correct ' ... or something ? ) . Then a diversion into a claim from science journalism . Then there was a complaint or something like that about the thread not commenting only on life sciences ( even though the title said different ) . Then Luke came in to kick it in the shins ( not his brother this time ) . Then an indulgent poem that smacked of discordian interpretation of the 'philosophy' of Hassan i Sabbah ( 'nothing is true , all is permissible ' ) by a smug cat . Then some info about frying an unborn baby with microwaves . Then ...... cats . Thats what the internet does .... eventually , its all about cats . Then I came back and said ... say ... Science is a good approach , especially for all you post alternative nut jobs that give more reality to your own internal fantasies . Scientists are good and bad , like most groups of people ... except for those 'save the planet' environmental scientists ... they are 'cool ' ( like ultrasound is 'cool' ... apparently , but I dont why ) . and scientism ? Well, that just sucks and one will realize why , if they can tell the difference between the three terms . And now I depart the thread to avoid the upcoming disdainful stares and comments ..... .
