A AD(arch-druid’s Musings Category: Religion and Philosophy
Hi! Folks! I'm back. I have a serious subject to share with you. I hope I don't offend any of you with what I have written.
Hi! Folks! This is my 15th blog on the Internet. This blog should be of interest to Pagans and Magickal Folk. I hope you all are doing well. Sadly I can't say the same for myself. Some of you know me, some of you don't. I'm a Pagan Elder and I'm in serious trouble. These last 3 months have been a living hell for me. I'm a professional writer but I've had writer's block for the last 3 months. I've had major financial issues and illness and major computer problems. Now to get to my main point. My landlady has told me I have 10 days to pay $700.00 of current and past due rent or quite the premises i.e. I get evicted. If any of you want to help me keep from getting evicted you can reach me at Abbotts_inn@hotmail.com We will take down your addresses and phone numbers and e-mails and when the crisis has passed we will pay back as many of you as we can. I know that we are all hurting because of the economy. I feel very weird asking for help but my closest friends in the Pagan-Magickal Community tell me at this time I have no choice. So I'm asking for your help fellow Pagan-Magickal Folk. I only have 10 days to accomplish this feat. With your help I will prevail. My new money manager has told me that I may turn you on to my Pay Pal account with this e-mail address: AbbottsInn@Gmail.com If any of you would like a Pagan-Magickal class or a Divination-Tarot Reading or even both this is another way I'm trying to raise the funds. I can be contacted at www.keen.com as Stephen6580. I have five listings on keen. I have a blog on keen which has 5 entries on it and you are all welcome to freely check them out and offer your comments and feedback. I value both. I have blogs on My Space, Hi5, Yahoo360 and many other locations. I've only been active on computers for 5 years. I co-own 15 Pagan-Magickal Teaching Groups on Yahoo Groups. I've taught Pagan-Magickal subjects for the past 38 years across the country and Canada. I have been doing Divination-Tarot readings for 48 years. I still do Divination-Tarot readings and teach Pagan-Magickal subjects with the use of my web cam and mic on both yahoo IM and MSN IM. If any of you are interested in these services please let me know. I offer to do free research for Pagans-Magickal folk of all stripes when it is requested. Now to talk about the main topic of this blog. This blog and all of my other blogs will be bringing up the topic of the Pagan-Magickal Community making an effort to take care and support our Pagan-Magickal Elders. At 57 I'm considered a younger Pagan-Magickal Elder. I feel in the last 13 years that many of the Pagan-Magickal Community have not taken advantage my longstanding Knowledge of Pagan-Magickal services and subjects. At the present time I don't have one student. I've had no readings the entire day. In a normal day I would have upwards to 15 readings. This hasn't occurred since October. My troubles began in November. For one of my Psychic Readings services I get paid 2 times a month. I won't get another paycheck to the 7th of February. The reason why I mention all of this is make clear the plain fact that we don't know what our fiances will be like from month to month. For this reason one of my best friends in the Pagan-Magickal Community is now going to be my new money manager. Up to this crisis. I only did it myself. Now my job is to build up my many blogs and groups and encourage you all to the same if it is your Will to do so. In the last few years the Pagan-Magickal Community lost two of it's "Bright Lights." One was my dear friend and AD(arch-druid) Robert Lawson. He died of neglect at a Bay Area hospital. Then just last year we lost Robert Anton Wilson who had written many books and had done much for the Pagan-Magickal community. These two useless deaths cut me to the core. I knew both men for over 35 years. I would like to say that they would be missed but now I feel that this may not be the case. We as Pagans and Magickal Folk must do much more to help our Pagan-Magickal Elders. Isaac Bonewits who I have known over 40 years said many years ago "A Magickan is Worthy of His Hire". It is hard what we do. It is hard to design and perform a ritual. I only charge for readings and classes. Everything else I do for the Pagan-Magickal community is for free. I do this because I have ethics. I know how hard it is to do what I do. Another old Pagan- Magickal friend Micheal Gormen by name is writing about this very subject for the coveted "Green Egg Magazine." Isaac is writing about this subject in his many groups. And why do we do this you may ask? We all 3 of us our Elders of the Pagan-Magickal Community. All 3 of us have given over 40 years of our lives and our Knowledge to this community that we love. Now 40 years later many of us are facing possible homeless. What is Wrong with this Picture? How can we give so much and find ourselves in such a sorry state. The reason why this is happening is that the Pagan-Magickal Community has forgotten that it is a sacred duty to honor our Elders for their long sacrifice and knowledge. Many people today have come to my aid and I thank them. When their time comes I will be there for them. May the two Roberts have not died in vain. This situation about the treating of our Sacred Elders is shameful and must be dealt with. When we honor our Sacred Elders we honor ourselves. When we sit at their feet to gain their Knowledge we honor our own Knowledge. When we aid our Elders to be able to live better lives in comfort and respect we encourage them to be more creative and artistic. If we don't honor and support our Sacred Elders and they die alone and neglected on a city street this too shall be our fate. Forty years ago I thought that when I got to be 57 years old I would be honored and respected by my Fellow Pagan-Magickal Brethren both male and female. But instead I'm facing eviction and homelessness. What is wrong with this Picture? How could I have given so much to our Pagan-Magickal Community that I love so dear and to be brought to such dire straits. What is the future of our Pagan-Magickal Community if we don't start to honor and support our Sacred Elders? I feel we will lose the Magickal Spirit of our community. Paganism will become a Soulless Shell of what once was. This must end if we shall have a future in this world. "Oh My Pagan-Magickal Folk". I will be there for you in your time of need as long as I am able. Let's have some feedback on this very important subject. I want to hear from you all and I want to see this hateful neglect for our Sacred Elders Banished For All Time. Thank You for allowing me to voice these hard thoughts. I love all of my Pagan-Magickal Folk. May this crime to our Community be rectified soon. Take Care My Pagan-Magickal Brothers and Sisters and Blessed Be. AD(arch-druid) Stephen also known as Stephen6580 on www.keen.com Peace! Peace! Peace!

This is my latest update. Category: Religion and Philosophy
Hi! Folks! This is my latest update to this blog. Happy Winter Solstice, Yule and Mithras. As many of you know I hate Christian holidays. I'm Pagan not Christian. Don't wish me a happy C day. The Jezoids stole our holiday season and killed our people. I have nothing but hatred and loathing for the Christian religion. I don't hate all Christians just most of them. The bastards that want to burn me at the stake for instance. Those are the ones I really hate. Let's take back our Sacred Holy Days and Seasons from these bastard Christians fellow Pagan-Magickal folk. These people make me sick. In fact I am sick today. It never fails. I'm always sick at this time. I hope things are going better for the rest of you. When Christians send me e-mails I mark them as Spam and contact e-mail Abuse. Maybe if we all do this we can control them better. I'm so sick about hearing about J C. He wasn't even born on Dec. 25th Mithra the Persian Sun God was. The Jezoids stole his birthday. Now let's take it back from these bastards. Where are your Pagan balls, why don't you fight these people. If you can call them people. I prefer to call them bastards. Well let's move on to a happier subject. www.keen.com now can sport more Pagans. There are now many Pagans doing blogs on Pagan-Magickal subjects. I'm no exception. I too have a blog on keen. I now have 4 entries on it. I plan to update it after I update this one. I now have 10 blogs here on the Internet. I have 5 listings on keen. I offer a new service on keen. I now do e-mail readings on keen at reasonable rates. Let me know if you are interested in this service. I'm still the co-owner of 15 Pagan-Magickal Teaching Groups on Yahoo Groups. You can freely join these groups or contact me and I'll send you an invite.I'm still offering to do free Pagan-Magickal research for Pagan-Magickal folk. Let me know if you can use this service. I'm still doing Divination-Tarot readings and teaching classes on Pagan-Magickal subjects with the use of my web cam and mic on Yahoo IM and MSN IM. If you are interested in this service please let me know. I'm still waiting from some of you to contact me and tell me what Pagan-Magickal subjects you would like to see covered on this blog. I thought of an idea for this blog. What about having a Q and A on Pagan-Magickal subjects? If you are interested in this idea let me know. I'm still waiting to hear from some of you about me doing a reading for one of you right on this blog. Those are some of the ideas I came up with on my sickbed. I haven't been able to access my IM here on My Space. It won't accept my password or my e-mail which I know are valid. If any of you can help me fix this problem please let me know. Well I'm starting to get tired so I will have to leave you for now. One last thing don't forget to check out www.Mind-N-Magick.com and download their killer Pagan-Magickal tool bar. Let me know what you think of it. It now includes Pagan-Magickal radio stations. You can also add more. Let me know about other Pagan-Magickal groups and web sites and I will gladly mention them here in this blog. Well folks! "May the Goddess Bridgit My Patron Goddess Guide You on Your Magickal-Pagan Path". Take Care Folks and Blessed Be.

I’m back Folks! After a very long absence Current mood: amused Category: Religion and Philosophy
Hi! Folks! I'm back after a very long absence. I've been gone for the usual reasons. These reasons are the following: Little or know no money, Severe Health Problems and Major Computer Problems. Money is still a problem and and my health is at least better today. I have a new computer so I spend most of my time doing catch up on my many blogs and my 15 Pagan Teaching Groups which I co-run. I love my new computer but it still has issues. Our 15 Pagan Teaching Groups are slowly growing. Now that I'm back I can give them more attention. I have been putting a lot of effort in expanding my work with www.keen.com as a Psychic Reader and Teacher. I'm known as Stephen6580 on keen. Once you are on keen if you type Stephen6580 you will find yourself on my main keen homepage. You know you are there when you see a big black dragon which many of you know is my true persona. I'm not really human. I'm just pretending. (My little joke). I have a blog on keen and after I do this blog I will update the keen blog with my 4th entry. Feel free to check it out and offer your comments and feedback. Both are welcome. I'm offering a new service on keen where I now do e-mail readings on demand at reasonable rates. I want you all to have my main e-mail address: Abbotts_Inn@hotmail.com you can freely give it out to Pagan-Magickal people as long as they did not vote for that Bastard "Adolf Bush the Butcher of the Gulf Coast" or someone like him. I'm Green Party, Pagan and Proud. Adolf Bush's title is my own invention so if you use it you will need to give me credit. I share my birthday with the bastard. On July 6th Adolf Bush turned 61 and I turned 57. What a Scumbag he is. Now on a lighter side I would like to turn you all on to a great Pagan-Magickal web site: "Mind-N-Magick".com They offer a killer Pagan-Magickal tool bar which I highly recommend you download. If you do please let me know what you think of it. I'm a member in good standing in this group. I'm still teaching classes in Pagan-Magickal subjects and doing Divination Readings on yahoo IM with the use of my mic and web cam. It's like having you right in my living-room. I'm still waiting to hear from some of you about what subject and topics you would like to see me cover in future blogs. Please contact me and give me your ideas. I would like to turn you onto a new Tarot-Deck-Book-Set which is new this year. How many of you like Elves? Well if you do like Elves then I have a rather unusual Tarot deck for you. It is entitled: "The Tarot of the Elves" By Mark MC Elroy and artwork by Davide Corsi. This is a beautiful deck with a Mythic Plot included. I highly recommend this deck. I've done a lot of good readings with it. You can get it through Llewellyn Worldwide and Amazon.com. Here's an idea for this blog. How about if I give one of you out there a reading with this deck right here on this blog? Would any of you be interested in such a reading? If so please contact me and we will set it up. If any of you would like to join my 15 Pagan-Magickal Teaching Groups which I co-own then all you have to do is check them all out on yahoo. They are all yahoo groups. Well I hope you all have a happy and safe Sowen-Samhain and I will tell you about my experience in this regard in the next blog. Till our next encounter Take Care All of You and Blessed Be. Your Druid Bud AD(arch-druid) Stephen also known as Stephen6580. Peace! Peace! Peace! and For the Sowen-Samhain Season: "Summer's End: Feast! Feast! Feast!

This a Update from my previous blog. Current mood: calm
Hi! Folks! This is my second attempt to post this update. My computer ate the last one. I know it has been a long time since I was here. I have 2 really good reasons for this. I have been very ill for a very long time. My computer crashed and I now have a new computer. My other one has since been fixed. I guess I'll be using both of them. I wanted to talk about the death of a old Pagan friend of mine. His name was Robert Anton Wilson he was 74 when he died. He died of Natural Causes at his home in Capatola Ca. I knew him for 37 years. Have any of you heard of him? He and I were both long time friends of Timothy Leary. I knew Tim for 25 years. Now their both gone and I'm the only one of the 3 of us left. Bob was in many of my Pagan groups from the 70's the links for these are in my Nov. blog. I just checked it. The groups he was in were The Abbotts Inn School of Magick which I founded in 1970, The Hazelnut Mother Grove which I founded in 1971 and the GWB or The Great Wild Beast Furtherment Society which I co-founded with Clayton O'Clearach in 1973. He wrote 2 verses to the "Is Aleister Crowley Really Dead" song which I co-wrote with Clayton O'Clearach. Bob wrote many books one was entitled: "The Cosmic Trigger". Have any of you heard of it? If you want to get his books you can get them on Amazon.com Bob will be missed by many of his fellow Pagan friends including myself. Robert:"May your stay in the Celtic Otherworld be a pleasant one". Take Care Robert and Blessed Be. As far as I know his web site is still up. I haven't had the heart to look at it. On to a more cherry subject. I want to turn all of you Pagans out there on to a Pagan Toolbar. It is quite awesome. It is put out by Mind-N-Magick which I'm also a member of. Everything about Paganism is included in it. If you want it go the Mind-N-Magick web site Mind-N-Magick.com Let me know what you think of it. Here are 2 other e-mail addresses for me: AbbottsInn_School@yahoo.com and Abbotts_Inn@Hotmail.com you can freely give these out to other fellow Pagans. My Gmail address is still over quota. You can send things to it but I can send back to you. This happened because of all of the computer problems. We now have 11 Pagan Teaching Groups here is a new link to our latest one: "Adventures in Shamanism". http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/AdventuresinShamanism This group like many of our groups has a humorous bent. My on-line FRP games on Yahoo IM is at a standstill because my computer problems. I'm still working on the problem. I would like to start a new idea here on these blogs. I want to start Pagan-Magickal QandA. If you guys like this idea let me know. We will be having our Spring Solstice Ritual this Saturday. I will post about it at my next post. I will try to update this blog more often in the future. You know you can only do what you can do. Send me discriptions of your rituals for the Spring Solstice and Equinox. Let me know about your Pagan Paths. Mine as many of you know is Druid-Wiccan-Shaman. I am presently working on re-vamping my geocities web page on yahoo. The link is in my last blog. I am still doing readings and classes on www.keen.com under the heading of Tarot Readers type: Stephen6580 this will put you on my Keen Home Page. You know you are there when you see a big black dragon my true persona. Well this is my second attempt to post this and my back is hurting so I will have to stop for now. I hope to hear from you all soon. Take Care All of You and Blessed Be. Have a happy and safe Spring Solstice and Equinox. AD(arch-druid) Stephen. Peace! Peace! Peace! and for the Spring Solstice and Equinox: Feast! Feast! Feast!
