And (again ) was this GD rituals and initiations ? -
Is it duel ... or non duel ?

I looked him up . He is doing ( here in the vid below) a demo I like to do ... I am pretty sure although I cant understand him, it appears to show traditional Okinawan dance moves as martial arts technique . My selected dance moves and steps are different to his though, but similar, mine are based on 'shuto' ( the old way, not the modern 'karate chop' interpretation ) , wrist and body mass manipulation and 'throw away' / take down . One obscure old kata is baced on a common traditional dance there , it is actually about disarming someone attempting a bo attack on you - they end up with one end of the bow being used as an elbow lock on an arm bar and the other end shoved up into the private parts and they are bent over for a low level kick ( big toe into eye ball ) ... or if they turn face away its into their ..... (behind ear - G11 ) .... you see 'nice little old ladies' doing that dance Its nearly exactly the same except he is starting from the inside , I start against the initial punch or grab attempt with a shuto from the outside . ( The thing is , it only works on the inside as the attacker has retracted his left fist to his hip - a good fighter -as opposed to a 'demo dummy' - 'hand up ! ' ... he would have a left guard up to stop that initial strike ... followed by a quick left jab .... they cant do that to you if you are on their out side . - more 'strange modern karate ' . .

Okay ( I wondered why that video was posted here) . Do you mean your GD group met in there ? You did GD rituals 'in the woods' ? Nah , you must mean some other 'group ' . Pagan / Wiccan ? -
SHHHhhhhhhh ! Dont tell people that !

Aside from someone's response that everything in a secret tradition must be publicly known I found this very interesting " Cousins sees the practice of Southern Esoteric Buddhism as being defined by the mapping of inner and outer worlds, and calls it 'tantro-kabbalistic' mysticism "

Ooooo .. I had a nasty weekend like that . I was camping behind the front dunes at a beach, just me and two others and I had been fasting ( a slow wind down and I was on my second day of water only after 2 days of juice , after a period of very light food ), they where doing similar, it was going good , but we had friends coming to stay the weekend there . The barbarians ! All that time spent ..... carry food there, storing it, collecting firewood, cooking , eating ;like animals , and then they had to go and make a toilet pit ... and kept going there and crapping all the time .... disgusting ! But after a while my knees started going a bit wobbly and other things got a bit wobbly too , so I started eating bits of fruit , which gave an incredible energy burst , but it didnt last long . Then I ate some boiled potatoes with pepper salt and butter on them . MMMMM mmmmmmmmmmm ! - back to being an animal .

Demolition ?

I eventually found one after much searching , youtube be full of twirly , smashing , stuff - but this is the sort of things I meant (of course, it has advantage over knife ; good against some weapons and not so good against others Its a bit like arnis ... spectacular and tricky skills and drills that give all sorts of advantages ... but in comp the 'devolve' to just trying to smash the shit outa each other and lot of stuff gets thrown out the window . But I guess thats the nature of 'fighting' . IMO (and some others ) ; what is better than winning ? being able to pull off some 'classic technique' in the midst of chaotic 'fighting' ..... and winning

I eat at Mc Donalds usually a few burgers and heap of fries and wash it down with shakes . Then I internally transform it all via Daoist inner alchemy into golden light prana food .

Are you saying you had personal instruction from Israel Regardie ? or where those things he taught the group and then they taught you ? He is right 'up there' in my estimations , a great teacher in the modern western magical tradition ! Lucky you ! Painting your own deck is surely one way to get understanding of it . I painted a full set of Enochian tablets ( G.D. style , ie with all attributions and glyph included) it certainly helped me get a handle on the system . I agree with you about use of tarot , its divinatory use is minor if one realizes its full potential ! It seems to me those things are well 'out of fashion' now - a great shame IMO . -

No ... thats just you affirming things to yourself . THIS is the HUGE chink in your 'armor' . Its always people 'not discussing things fairly' with you isn't it ? or not agreeing with you in the right way . It valid if someone observes what you have been trying to do here , clearly sees the blocks in you , and some of the crazily self assuring statements you have made as 'being stupid' . Its not to do with degrees or education IQ or whatever ... stupid has its own particular way of creeping into all sorts of things. Also sometimes its hard to see our own 'stupid' when others around us can . - of course, that HAS TO BE untrue .... yeah ? .

We dont do that down here . Instead we have 'the democracy sausage ' . Now thats a strange thing ! It was pretty strange here in my little Darkwood Valley yesterday . Sus looking cars going up and down the road . Then various police vehicles . An off road motorcycle crew, fully kitted out . Hmmmmm ' homicide squad involved ' ... not again ! All a bit of a mystery about what it was until later today . Someone further up river started the day gardening and noticed someone had dropped, lost off their roof racks ... discarded a surf board bag in their driveway. Thing was ... it didnt have a surfboard in it All the headlines where ' Body found at Darkwood' ... and due to the somewhat unusual name , each story had a location map .... of our formally little hidden away paradise ! .

I thought you meant kata. During my very early weapons training ( 30 years ago ) we had a couple of nunchuk katas , one 'double nunchuku' kata . I thought a team would be like a kata completion team . Nunchuks Vs nunchuks ? Did those guys teach the real art of handling them or was it just a la Bruce Lee type movie twirling and smashing each other with them . There are not a very weapon suitable to be used against each other . What is it like being hit with a leather one ? Did you use armour ? Over the years I have experimented with various ways of adapting weapons for ore realistic practice / sparing . Plastic is crap and isnt heavy enough , foaming things up makes them too thick and slow . Bamboo is dangerous as it shatters and splinters . I came up with (for staff and stick like weapons * ) ; plastic electrical conduit coated with hot water pipe insulation foam, but that can bend too much so then I put a thin rod of bamboo through the tube as well. Works pretty .good and is the right thickness . * Its virtually essential if you want to learn the real dynamics of something like a two section staff . Otherwise you are going to go through a LOT of training partners ! I have used rubber , as a point for my long spear . Dudes kept saying " Ya missed me ! " and I would ' What you want me to slash you with it ? " So I cut a spear head shape out of an old thick truck tire . Then when I would do a long extended move for example I could slap the 'flap' across the front of their foot tendons or something similar ... " Did you feel that, then ? " The rest of my goodies , I use wood . Some blunt metal , sai for example , but one must be very careful ( I pronged a guys cheek once with a side prong on a sai ... ooops. )
