Been listening to couple groups, Youth Code and Jucifer. Both of them have an influence on my music. I have been composing on my Son's old PC with Ableton Live 8. Although I can get a newer distro, I am enjoying working within it's parameters for the current project. For a few years I stayed pretty focused on my hardware and sought creative endeavors to a mixed ending. It was only due to the influence of my Son that I opened back up to computer composition.
It is coming along nicely. I had a spell of difficulty emotionally that was captured. For now, the songs are being arranged and lay as a skeleton for baritone guitar, hardware synths, and other noise input. Rhys is going to send me an interface so I can further flesh out these songs and maybe add my own vocal contribution. It will add a dimension of expression I have never really sought out. It will be interesting.
Swans Filth is also an album that is contributing to the influence of this new project. I have been writing on the baritone guitar and will eventually fish out and repair my Fender Bass IV. Somewhere between bass and treble and that cello grey is my preferred range. Not to neglect on pitch shifting and octavers. Heavy sampling is featured on this new one.
Some of the Goetic spirits are challenging to work with. One in particular can fill you with utter destruction. A thought process that arrives at oblivion and edges on disaster. Some of these spirits are very serious. Working with them can mean enduring certain attributes and influences. Usually, this passes after five days but there are several spirits that come one after the other, influencing the magickian.
I love the Fernandes Sustainer. I was first turned onto them after I bought a Dragonfly in Hawaii. I have long since parted with that guitar but I have had an affinity for them ever since. That with a Boss DF 2. Sustain and Feedback manipulation. I remember seeing a David Lynch brochure from Fernandes once upon a time. BOSS VT-1 Voice Transformer is something he experimented with and used for album material. I am still looking to enhance vocals through effects but that is waiting on my interface.
For now my signal chain is binary. A/B Box selecting dirty and clean through the clean channel on my amp. Shifting between the two is fun and leads to many discoveries.
A (Clean): EH Freeze, Digitech Freqout, OBNE Dark Star
B (Dirty): Boss DF 2, Sunmachines Fuzz, Jupiter FX Super Weirdo.
For Bass at the moment I am using a five string Thunderbird I picked up years ago. Processing wise I do want to add a Boss O.ld D.irty B.astard 3 for dirtier work. I have been kicking around an old Boss GT-6B floor unit for a long time. For the most part it is satisfactory for a wide range of manipulation. The GT6B is a staple to working with that bass signal. I haven't gotten in depth with the synthesizing capabilities, but they are there. Bass synthesis is a great deal of fun to integrate with a programmed drum sequence.
There are two pedals that contend for further bass mal-treatment, the EH Mainframe and the Malekko Scrutator. My leaning is toward the Scrutator. It generates some interesting drones and has an expression pedal connection that can be assigned to any of the knobs. I believe that an expression pedal can be hooked up to the Mainframe aswell. I think the Malekko is the winner.
In other interests, the 30-30 cartridge is one I am interested in. Mossberg SPX 464 Lever action 30-30.
The Appalachian Assault Rifle is suited for a homestead deer or pig rifle. The 30-30 helped people get by in the Depression. A short range rifle at roughly 200 yards. It can become a useful evasion weapon also. Lawmen and other guards counted on them for years. It is a readily supplied ammunition. I prefer the synthetic over the wood conventional type. The rails are especially useful for light and laser. As for the Goetia, it is the last day of Sabnock and the homestead will have this useful tool in Its honor.
I got a coyote call. It was relatively inexpensive and we have coyotes behind our land. We hear them almost every night. There are reasons to not competitively hunt any particular animal, but coyotes are intriguing. I have an interest in them and foxes. They are guides and have spiritual merit. A necromancer has no problem working with dead familiars. I picked up a couple of taxidermy books from the library. We have several mounts on our walls as it is.
It is a beautiful Fall here in Arkansas. We have been raking and preparing the beds for next years garden. We have 16 chickens and 6 ducks. We are probably getting rabbits in January. My family had a contact who had a rabbitry going that would let us use the manure for our gardens. It has been a great arrangement this season but next year we want to be producing some of our own. The rain is finally pouring after a drought. It would be nice to see the Cossatot River some time. It is nearby and it has a Spirit that is enchanting and powerful. One of my favorite spots to show visitors.
Two books I have ordered for my library. They were found on a recommendation list. I am looking forward to reading them. Both are fairly old. I might pass them on to my Brother. Military Science is still something I enjoy reading about. Asymmetrical combat is particularly insightful and in this country we have movements known as militias. Along with Motorcycle Clubs, Gangs, and other groups, militias could serve as a vehicle of transition in any nation. Some have appropriately compared them to guerillas. I myself am not called to joining any organizations like that, I am an outsider. Though I do enjoy reading Paladin Press books on Soldiers of Fortune.
I find myself proud to have served with the United States Army. It introduced me to so much within a relatively short amount of time. The growth and development during that period would continue to echo within me for the rest of my life. I have even refrained from joining the 3 Percenter movement. I don't know what they are about, but it attracted a number of people from my generation of service. I am just trying to get my head around temporary autonomous zones let alone aligning or investigating some National perspective.
III :57 is a good number. 357. Caliber Gematria:KGDYKSh, Kegadikesh, Ass. with Geburah. Colt Python.
There are Ten Hells. One placed upon each finger and thumbs. This looks like an interesting book. It was written with a planchette scrying method. I really don't know what to call it. I have been working on an Astral Atlas for the Tree of Death. I would say that the arrangement is satisfactory so far. There is a bit of memorization required but it is simple enough. The lead character in Voyages to Hell, is Ji Gong. He was a Chan monk that imbibed and ate meat, leading to his expulsion from a monastery. He reminds me of the Sufi legend Nasreddin. He also got drunk and had interesting adventures. Both legends are useful to the Dionysian.
In the East is the symbolism of Yin and Yang. In the West, we have the Sons, Dionysus and Apollo. Born to express dispositions towards logic order and reason for Apollo, and the ecstatic intoxicating instinctive Dionysus. It was Nietzsche that familiarized me with the principle. Others since Nietzsche have elaborated on the influence of these Gods upon society and culture. Some of them do sound interesting. I myself fall into the Dionysian category. Disorder and Chaos is awe inspiring to me. Potentials arriving at critical mass are exciting. Wild and feminine. Chthonic.
With White Magick you mainly utilize the Tree of Life. In Black Magick you utilize the Tree of Death. It is not mentioned very often in Black Magick texts, the Astral and Spiritual Atlas of the practitioner of the Dark Arts. Steve Savedow does not endorse Black Magick but very readily contributed to the information available on the subjects of the Goetic and Qliphotic. His book is expensive and I only post a few examples of what it has to offer. It is one of my favorite texts in my library.
Notice the Three Veils like the Tree of Life. There are three worlds in Hindu cosmology. The Seven Places are similar to the Hindu concept of Patala of which there are also seven.
Notice there are 22 paths. These can be attributed to the Qliphothic Spirits of Liber 231 by Crowley. These entities are assigned a path. I am currently working with these diagrams and looking forward to contributing to the exploration of these realms. To do that I employ two devices: The H.R. Giger 22 Card Tarot and a Thelemic Scrying Kit from Jason Augustus Newcomb. (Whom I highly recommend for affordable quality magickal tools).
The Thelemic scrying set contains the sigils for Liber 231. All 44 of them. You will need to identify the 22 mercurial spirits and set them aside for practice. practice laying out the cards just like the Tree of Death Diagram and begin to scry. This will help you visualize the energies contained within the 22 Major Arcana or the Qliphotic Sigils. It also establishes the Tree of Death in your mind's eye. Liber 231 is the Prison of the Shells. These entities are primal and intense like those traits exhibited with the Goetia. I will add some notes regarding 231 really quick.
The following appeared in The Magical Link (volume 8, number 3 - 1994):
In his manuscript instructions to JFC Fuller (who redrew them [the sigils] for publication) AC notes: "General Design: Maybe a wheel with 22 compartments on the rim. The wheel has 8 spokes. At the 4 corners are the 4 Kerubim [sketch with Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus, Leo clockwise from top left]. But the Pillar Scheme is equally good... These sigils are dangerously automatic, and should not be exposed or left lying about..." Crowley adds "This is perhaps because these are the Atus which are beheld in Ammenta — they are therefore the governors & inspectors of the disordered fabrications."
This was found on Lashtal.
"The Arcane Book of the Atu's of Tahuti (Thoth) Seen As Osiris in the Underworld Under the Number of 231 The Book of Traps (Barriers) of Speech (Expression) Qliphoth as One's Own Djinn Added Sigils And Their Names"
Some information regarding a translation of the title of Liber 231.
Essentially, you could utilize the remaining unamed sigils to your own "Shells" or thought forms. Like the Librarian in Snow Crash, you have a powerful taskmaster at your disposal. These methods were prototypes for what chaos magickians intended to do with thought forms and egregores. Though the chaos magickians were also influenced by Spare, who revolutionized sigil casting on his own terms. These beings can be assigned elements of the Nephesh. Adding to its inertia to escape the limited lifetime of a human entity. A Man gives his Nephesh to his wife. This can also happen with these entities but is largely undiscussed. Usually due to a prejudice toward vampiric relationships.
Symbiosis and vampirism are related situations, and it can happen to those prone to the dark path. It is best to study natural phenomena that shows symbiotic relationships to find a disposition towards your own possession. For instance, the comic character Wolverine had a adamantium metal coating over his skeleton. This foreign device further instigates his abilities to repair himself to the point of regenerating limbs that might have been severed. The harmful substance that alchemists would utilize to induce a strong phenomenon within the macrocosm. Blood and Ov can be used with these entities but it has a strong effect that creates a living bond.
"The Nephesh is a living entity, like the body, and it needs sustenance to survive. The
Nephesh usually starves and returns to the Earth after 6 weeks. " -Rufus Opus, from the Goetic Grimoire. 42 days. Dominoes. More on that later. "In rare cases, the Nephesh can
become a psychic vampire, learning to draw life from the living by stimulating strong
emotions of fear, passion, or despair." These are useful for employing a charge or connection. One is reminded of the Three poisons: attachment/craving/desire, delusion/ignorance/misconception, and aversion/fear/hate
The Boneyard. Dominoes are a solution to a clandestine divination problem. Not unlike cartomancy. Personally I am attracted to dominoes for some strange reason. I generally do not find myself drawn to math directly. It is often an obscure angle of interest that I have to use. In this case, with dominoes, I am into incorporating my divination with Yoruba traditions. I just got a book by polyphanes ( I should note He condemns the Yoruba one). "It is considered a long-standing rule that one should not consult the dominoes more than once a
month. Although a calendar month is a safe rule to use, this may also be interpreted as once every
lunar month, since a sidereal lunar month (reckoning the position and return of the Moon to the
background of fixed stars) is approximately 28 days, one day per bone in a full set of double-six
dominoes"
Studying the Perennial Tradition and finding much of it surprisingly familiar.

I still need to Read Eumeswil. I really enjoy reading Benjamin Tucker's Individual Liberty, but this quote from Eumeswil gives some of my perspective:
One error of the anarchists is their belief that human nature is intrinsically good. They thereby castrate society, just as the theologians ("God is goodness") castrate the Good Lord.” ― Ernst Jünger, Eumeswil
I felt that way when I read certain passages from Individual Liberty today. Ernst Junger wrote another book, a biographical, on the First World War. From his perspective. Intense and well written. Storm of Steel.
Truth be told, there will be something that stabilizes in the situation. I have seen what that looks like. It can happen anywhere. So how does one operate? One must strive for sufficiency. Notice the lack of self in that term. It becomes inter-dependent. Like a rogue toenail sporting fungus society provides for the outsiders. Temporary Autonomous Zones popping up here and there.
When reading Individual Liberty or Might is Right, there is a sense of conviction that carries the message along. Like the avenues of approach had all been checked. Then you have this compelling argument, if only you were clever enough to deduce it in less then three hundred pages, then this misunderstanding would be all cleared up. But alas, it escapes you and you keep reinforcing this point of view until it is rehearsed and becomes part of your diatribe.
Until someone wrecks your face and convinces you there is no one coming from your elitest group. Welcome to the pecking order. Unless you are among pirates that have taken on oaths of solidarity. There is an excellent book we have that I have not yet read on Pirates and their managment. The Invisible Hook.
I was discussing with a friend about how organizations that utilize Robert's Rules of Order often devolve into a minority that understands and has memorized the rules and a majority that simply allows them to lead. I witnessed this in Alcoholics Anonymous. I held service positions and started attending the business meetings and representing my group at conferences. Appointed attendees would vote for their groups and be trusted to do so without supervision. A great deal of groups chose not to care or discuss the conference agenda.
For years I wondered what the maximum number of people would be to function efficiently and problem solve well. My friend had told me that it was around 250 people. It brings to mind mob mentality or mob rule. An intimidating proposition if you are on the wrong side. It's roughly the size of a Squandron for me. I can understand and recognize relationships with this number of people. Even then it is above the number of my community. I feel better that way. In this era of collecting "friends" on facebook it would seem strange to some to reduce the number of people in your circle. It is about establishing a solid Ego and not letting sentimentality take away the real meaning of having people in our lives. They shape us and we should be ever grateful. We should let them serve their important purpose and hold them in high esteem.
Hanging on to some relationships is like tying a rope between to parties and letting them try to take their own differing ways. Eventually one looks at the other as a burden and this esteem is lost. No need to do that, take the moments and hold onto them and move forward. Perhaps your paths will cross again further on but it is not necessary. The same can go for lovers. Unless it is merely a handshake for you.

I checked out the Meyers Briggs associations with the court cards and they go along nicely.
I still look into Enochian magick from time to time. It is an interesting field of research. I myself have a set of Enochian tablets from the Cicero's. They are the Westcott version. I have not used them but the Fire tablet is my favorite. There is also the Enochian Chess set available online. I have thought about getting it for years but haven't bought it yet.
There is the reoccurrence of the cube in my occult studies. I have explored the Cube of Space as described in the Sefir Yetzirah and also in David Allen Hulse's book on the subject. Essentially I must utilize a standard deck of tarot cards. I think the Rider Waite would be nominal. After reviewing the Cube of Space I am reminded of the Fourth Dimension. It is something that was written about but still evades my grasp. I think the tarot and the Cube of Space visualization is a sort of way or technique to peer into the Fourth Dimension.
There is a ritual for the black cube in the book, The Cult of the Black Cube. A Saturnian grimoire. I have a black cube that I utilize for these purposes. It is a 3d printed model of the Hellraiser films box. It is Black and unfolds into a secondary configuration that I rarely use. By imagining the Cube of Space and flipping through the 22 trumps you can visit the thoughtforms of Liber 231. A method of binding. Rubbing your thumbs and fingers over the surface and edges of the cube positioning the qliphoth in relation to time-space.
This is a good procedure for the 22 Thelemic Holy Days. Each day setting aside time in the circle with your cube and tarot and a spirit you wish to summon and bind to your purposes. Liber 231 has the names of all 22 spirits. Because of all the changes inherent to the Thoth deck I suggest using the Rider Waite instead. The time in which Liber 231 was composed was earlier than the insights he had when he later made the Thoth deck. The current Goetic spirit is Raum.
If you are Math oriented and up for geometry, The Primer of Higher Space is a fascinating book. It still sits on my shelf and I pick it up from time to time. It is something I don't really understand but could see it being useful for other minds. Essentially, existing without the Astral Fourth Dimension is like being bound to two dimensional interpretation. To function on these planes is something very useful to the building of a Spirit. We have potential for growing a soul and this is a good method.
Marmorkrebs or Marbled Crawfish are interesting animals. I took several years of breeding and feeding a bunch of them in my aquaponics set up. I would like to experiment again with them. Crawfish have potential not only as food but also feed. I live by a 200 acre lake and should go try and trap. The traps are relatively inexspensive. Crawfish are active at night and after the trap has been left over that period, one has usually more yield.
Passive resource acquisition.
Four stages of mosquito life cycle. Stages 1-3 are excellent for fish food in an aquaponics set up. Supplementing of course with duckweed. Illegal to harvest mosquito larvae in some places. Duckweed doubles in mass every 16 hours, especially if the temperature is above 70 degrees in the water . Under artificial lights you can really get some stock going. Dehydrating in sunlight is a preferred option for preparing it for feed. Otherwise ducks will eat it raw.
This book is an excellent guide to starting several different designs in aquaponics.

I am doing research for my book. I have been working on it for some time now but have come upon a hold up in productivity. I utilized magick in this process and I am trying not to lust for results. It needs time to develop. Short writing bursts often leave the story superficial. Which is not really a bad thing if you are writing about a detached point of view. Which I am.
I have been focusing on my elementary and fundamentals in Thelemic ritual and trying to develop a sadhana or practice. I also devote a period of time to chanting to elevate my life condition as my Mom would say. There is an excellent book on Sexual Magick. It is titled Sexual Reflexology by MAntak Chia.
It is a great guide that I picked up a few years back and only now got to reading. Speaking of the sexual, I have been studying the Star Sapphire. There is a great out of print book on the analysis of the ritual. I will submit to you some illustrations from it. There is quite a bit that can be done with a partner in this ritual. These illustrations highlight only a portion of the ritual. In the book Sexual Reflexology you will be introduced to the dynamics of energy manipulation through ejaculation control.
Generally, some of the sexual ritual out in the open and published, are vague or embellished by symbolism as opposed to being concise and direct. This book and Sexual Reflexology are very direct and expressed well. The Star Sapphire performed in this way could be a precursor to Enochian Sex Magick. A note on Homosexuality. It is my opinion that there is a bit of homophobia and transphobia in the occult world. You will find literature on sexual rites that are heterosexually oriented, but the transgender and homosexual rites are hidden even deeper. That is okay and well enough. There are numerous ways one can develop a transgressive attitude towards sex, and it would be of benefit to read The Eloquent Blood.
Babalon will fuck your ass to awaken your kundalini and fuck it through your skull. For those who are into the elements of sado masochism, there is another good book by Stephen Flowers. It goes over the structure of sado masochism for spiritual purposes and transformation very well. Everything like how to embrace the dominant perspective to equipage for the Chamber.
