Just bought my copy of The Epoch by Peter J. Carroll. Squee!

So I just got back last night from a brony convention in San Francisco. I was working a booth for a vendor friend, and let me tell you what happened:

We met a little girl who was there with her family. She got a button drawn at our booth, told us all…

I’m still paying off the the surgery my dog had last month to remove some tumors.

The State of Indiana decided last week I owe them $1,200 in back taxes because they didn’t take taxes out of my unemployment.

Today, my furnace broke down, and I kinda need that, even in the summer, a/c being…

No perverts, not like that. 😉

Banishing this afternoon went much better than usual. My Cross of Light was still stronger than most other things but came in a little shakier than it normally does. As I was vibrating I was getting a very pleasant, tingling sensation in my chest. I noticed at some…

I’ve been thinking about computers as a metaphor for gods and magic and how pop culture entities work into it.

So, at the heart of it, all computer software is binary code. Cant get any more basic than that. 1101001 and all that. This represents the ultimate state of the universe – what the…

Computers are like Old Testament Gods. Lots of rules and no mercy. – Joseph Campbell

What if it were true?

What if, in the time before, when the darkness could only be fought with guttering flame, those with free spirits congregated and cavorted on the heath. Wild women, and sometimes men, held black Sabbaths, called on a goat-god, reveled in their freedom, spitting in the eye of…

If those people can call on magic, then the evil capitalists can as well.

Maybe they have been the whole time. 

Absolutely. These are the Black Brothers spoken of in many traditions. A logo is nothing more than a sigil.

Ooops….seems I have done it again.

I don’t actually believe capitalists are evil. 

I am somewhat amused, however.  If I create a business at which I am successful at making a profit, and my business has a logo, then apparently I am a “dark brother” using wicked sigil magic….

haha.

You will find that I do not find profits to be evil, I do not find the free market to be evil.  

I DO find marxist ideals to be things that enslave the masses to a corrupt state, however.

And I see no value in Anarchism, as it appears to me to be quite self defeating.

So sorry to say that this magic crusade to bring down “the man” does not have my support.  

Any magic I do will continue to be done for my selfish reasons.  I have no problems with that, obviously.

It is silly idelogs that equate small business with the systemic rape of the planet. But you keep pushing that agenda and we will all see how well we breath money.

I remember my first bad call at the call center. I was shocked, the person was an internal employee, so we’re all on the same “team”. She treated me like shit, like I was the dirt beneath her feet.

I went to team leader and said what happened. Response: Yep, people will do that and its okay but…
