The Final Product is Benedictine Black Wood Rosaries charged by the energy of Pazuzu. During the pre-ritual preparations I confirmed Pazuzu’s willingness to absorb the saint mask of St. Benedict and the attributes of both are so correspondent I almost wonder if when the Catholic church was on its crusade to demonize the deities of other cultures and replace them with their own pantheon of angels and saints that they did not in fact find DIRECT inspiration for the attributes of St. Benedict from the Assyrian/Babylonian/Sumerian demon Pazuzu. Either way what came after the ritual may be more interesting than the ritual itself. When I retired to bed directly after this amulet was conceived , I had quite an experience. I drifted into not a sleep but an astral state of consciousness where I was looking directly at an archetype. This archetype was of a man draped in a very dark blue hooded robe holding a golden staff. He had black eyes, the wings of a moth, and had a raven on his shoulder and chalice at his feet with a snake wrapped around it.
It was a brief vision right at the point that I had drifted into sleep but distinct enough to remember upon awakening and take note. I feel this consecrated the successful union of a demon and a saint into a powerful amulet for protection and maybe even an archetype in its own rite. I will be exploring this concept much further as time goes on and I look forward to making these amulets a constant fixture in my store.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

From Michel Gondry, the innovative director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep, comes this unique animated documentary on the life of controversial MIT professor, philosopher, linguist, anti-war activist and political firebrand Noam Chomsky. Through complex, lively conversations with Chomsky and brilliant illustrations by Gondry himself, the film reveals the life and work of the father of modern linguistics while also exploring his theories on the emergence of language. The result is not only a dazzling, vital portrait of one of the foremost thinkers of modern times, but also a beautifully animated work of art.
