The Long Haul

owen93@gmail.com — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 01:00:00 +0100

Though I didn't just fall off the Turnip Truck, having spent the entirety of my
life pursuing the path of the lightning strike which illuminates a Path that we
call Witchcraft, I really don't want to give the impression that there are answers
for those who are just beginning their journey of discovery.

Rather I wish to convey the sense that answers are not the goal to be slavishly
focused upon.

Questions are the fuel of the seeker, and the proces [...]

Towards a 21st Century Witchcraft

owen93@gmail.com — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 01:00:00 +0100

While the 18th and 19th century history of Modern Witchcraft informs that which we have to look back upon, we live in the 21st century.
The 20th century stands as a bulwark of change which presented us with a variety of options to think about who we were, who we are and who we would become.

No matter what you may think of that which has gone before, that which faces us
is unprecedented.

Our ability to leave the planet and travel beyond the confines of our do [...]

Joy Unbounded

A subtle yet powerful statement about the miracle that is our lovely blue world, our home, and the animating spirit which lives in our hearts. Thank you for reminding us that celebration is a simple act of joy and that all of us no matter whether we walk on two legs or four or crawl on our bellys are kin.

Goddess help me

I don't know why, but I have decided to re-open this site.

I closed it down two years ago because I was involved in a program that required me to be relatively "quiet, and because I was not interested in navigating controversy. Such is not my nature.

However I am not one to shy from honest and sincere debate.

In the ensuing years it seems that other sites which previously focused on Traditional(ist) Witchcraft have also bitten the dust. [...]

This site will be shutting down

owen93@gmail.com — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 01:00:00 +0100

It seems there really has been no traffic in the Forum section for quite some time.

The base CMS packages this site runs on are long in the tooth and I am going to be redirecting the URL/Domain to a new more technically up to date site - http://ophidiana.com

The changeover will occur sometime in the next two weeks and

definitely happen by the end of January 2010.

We Can Has Virtualization

owen93@gmail.com — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 01:00:00 +0100

The site has been migrated to a new VMware partition on a much more powerful server.

We know we came from the Stars, we came down to Earth to find out who we are.

A Change is gonna come

owen93@gmail.com — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 01:00:00 +0100

It was my hope that this blog site would engender conversation.

That has not come to fruition.

In about two weeks or so this site will be migrated to a new blog site at ophidiana.com. I don't think that it will be possible for me to migrate all the past content to thge new site.

I receive regular notification of new registered users, yet none of them post in the forums

From this I deduce that none of you (with a few exceptions) have anything to say.

Scientists at the Kyoto University Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences,

have discovered that the human body emits ultraweak bio luminescence.

Abstract

The human body literally glimmers. The intensity of the light emitted by the body is 1000 times lower than the sensitivity of our naked eyes. Ultraweak photon emission is known as the energy released as light through the changes in energy metabolism. We successfully ima [...]

World Events: Do they parallel UnderWorld Events

owen93@gmail.com — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 01:00:00 +0100

In some magical systems the metaphor of "Crossing the Abyss" symbolises reaching a state of life and mind in which the reality that unfolds in the exoteric are indicative of the reality that exists in the esoteric.

You would have to be living in a barrel this last week to have missed the exoteric reality unfolding in Iran. So what possible message could this be delivering to those of a magical mind who have taken the ireversable step of crossing [...]

So it is all too often the case that we keep access to our own teachers and resources private. This is because we share a human condition which seeks to retain privilege and exclusivity at all costs.

I will be clear that one of the fellow travellors who has been both a teacher and an examplar for me over the years is Rudy Rucker.

I was privileged to have him write a character in one of his Novels based upon me. After being bent out of shape for a day or two [...]

Earth Hour 2009 - is NOT just for Fluffy Bunnies

Earth Hour 2009

8:30PM local time, wherever you live on planet earth. Saturday 28 March 2009

http://www.earthhour.org/home/

This is a global political event that inherits energy from the Pagan Practice

of the "Needfire" in which all fires are extinguished and relighted from a

single flame as a rite of renewal.

This Earth Hour event is a symbolic event, and who knows the power

of symbolism better [...]

More Damh [Dave] the Bard - The hills they are hollow

owen93@gmail.com — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 00:00:00 +0100

I would be remiss if I did not present you with a video of Damh performing live.

The previous Youtube entry was some wankers game bullshit set to an album cut.

Here is the real deal.

But you really need to buy Damhs CD "The Hills they are Hollow"
