This blog is about how to use Major Trumps, also known as the Major Arcana in Tarot readings.
A lot has been written about the Fool's Journey, which is really what the Major Trumps
are all about. But this blog is about their meanings in readings. As we write this,
we gaze upon the Lady Bridgit in all Her fullness, mystery, glory, and beauty. The Lady Bridgit
is my patroness, for nearly fifty of my 59 years. Tonight is October 31st, 2009
as we gaze upon Her in all Her fullness.

The Fool is the most powerful of the 22 Major Arcana. As Teiweth haas previously mentioned,
the rest of the 22 trumps represent his cosmic journey from relative influence to cosmic
awareness. The Fool, from a Pagan point of view can be seen as a wandering Druid, shaman
(please squeeze the shaman) or a wandering Bard. To illustrate the power of the Fool,
Teiweth asks us to consider that the Fool is the only Trump to make it into today's
deck of standard playing cards as the Joker. Teiweth knows this because before
she started reading Tarot nearly 40 years ago, she had trained herself to read
standard playing cards. The Fool is Path 11, which goes from Kether to
Chokhmah. Reading the Tarot was then just a hop, skip, and a jump
from that. The Fool has several attributes and correspondences. He represents
the Hebrew character Aleph which means "life's breath", the planet Uranus (watch out for
those Klingons!) and Air. The element of Air represents communications, networking,
travel and business, the machinations of the mind. It represents all things mental
in the most positive sense of the word. Mabon for the Celts as he is dreamed. For
the Norse Odin as a wanderer. For the Cthulhu mythos Alhazred the mad arab.
Myrrdin as the mad man of the forest. Tuan, because he witnesses the invasions.
Hercules because of his journeys.

Next we have the Magician, the first of the Trumps to have an actual number.
It is otherwise known as Le Jongleur, the Juggler. It is also known as the
Druid, Shaman, and the Changer. He occupies Path 12, from Kether to Binah.
The Magician is a transformer (no not the toys that change from cars to
robots and back again). The Magician is a conduit from what is above the
the heavens above and the earth below. He stands between these two worlds,
and illustrates the millennia-old axiom "as above, so below". Here are the
correspondences and attributes of the Magician: he represents the planet
Mercury, who rules many of the correspondences listed for the Fool, above.
Mercury rules two signs: Gemini and Virgo. One takes place just before
spring ends and summer begins, the other just as summer is ending,
and autumn begins.The Hebrew letter Beth is ruled by this card. Beth
means "house', so it's about getting your house in order. This is the 2nd
most powerful card in the Trumps, and when it comes up in a reading, it
means that the Querent is a person has control over all the elements of
a situation. It represents magickal power. It represents the conduit
between the two worlds. Going along with this concept, as the Shaman,
he stands between the two worlds. The Magus is often an androgenous figure.
In many tribes, the Shaman is a natural hermaphrodite. He's also the psychopomp.
As the juggler, he is often a master showman. The deities are; for the
Celts: Lugh the master craftsman, who is good at everything. Elderloch
Egyptian deity is Thoth or Tehuti. Thoth is his Greek name. Greek: Hermes
Trismegistis or Hermes the Thrice Great. Or just HermesFor the Romans Mercury (doh!)
For the Norse, the AllFather Odin, who is the god of shamanism, and magick.As
trickster, Loki and the Native American trickster extraordinaire Coyote.
Of course, one modern trickster deity is Murphy, as in Murphy's Law. Teiweth
likes to pair him with Eris as Her consort. Abramelin and Myrrdin.
The Magician as Alchemist. He has his work table and on this table he has the
four tools of his trade as alchemist: the staff or wand for fire, the blade for
air, the cup or chalice for water, and the pentacle, disk or coin for earth.
Carven into the side of the side of the work table, is a red eagle, the symbol of
Scorpio and Mars, one of Scorpio's rulers. The red eagle is also alchemical
code for the red powder, which is both the red powder which is used to turn base
metals into gold, and a 9th degree code word for menses. There is also
the white lion, which is not on the Magus' work table but it is the 9th degree
secret code word for semen. The red eagle is also two headed, which is also the
symbol of the FreeMasonic Scottish rite, which is one of the bodies that comes
after a man becomes a Master Mason. At least a man can be a Pagan in the
Scottish Rite, which he can't be in the York Rite, where he has to be a Christian.
Oddly enough, for a long time, Jews could join only the York Rite, which they rightly
saw as a conspiracy to forcibly convert them to Christianity. Happily, this is
no longer so. A Jewish Mason is now accepted into the Scottish Rite. I hope you
realize that this is by no means an exhaustive study of the Magus. One could write
an entire book just on the Magus alone. We're really just scratching the surface.
The power of the Magician is both infinite and eternal. It is infinite because
the card shows an infinity lemiscate above the Magus' head. Three dimensionally
it is a Mobius strip, which is one surface that goes on forever. The power is
shown to be eternal because of the ouroboros; the serpent biting its own tail
around his waist as a belt. The red in his rode is for passion, the white for
purity. He also has a headband, which marks the space between the worlds, as above
so below, the physical world and the metaphysical world. It seems as though
we are having repeat symbolism here. There is the classic image of as above
so below which means what is above equals what is below. Macrocosm equals
microcosm. There are also roses and lilies above, and roses and lilies below.
The Magician can also be called the Grand Communicator. Communication is one
of the hallmarks of the Magician's ruler Mercury or Hermes, to use his Greek name.
The lilies point to another of Mercury/Hermes' gigs, that of psychopomp from the
land of the living (the red roses) to the land of the dead (the white lilies).

The High Priestess is Gimel or camel in the Hebrew alphabet. She symbolizes
the Moon, secrets, the Greater mysteries, wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.
The title is the High Priestess, in other decks she can be called the Priestess,
the Cosmic Virgin, who can never be penetrated. She is the Keeper of Torah,
which is the ancient wisdom. The High Priestess' robe, blue, flows like a river
into the main river that flows into the next card, the Empress, which we will
discuss in the next installment of this series of blogs. This reminds Teiweth
of two classes of women, one in the ancient Minoan civilization going up into
the time of Pericles, of Athens and Sparta. The women of which I speak are
the Pythonesses or the Pythia, who pronounced the Oracle. There were various
places or omphalos, where volcanic gases seeped up from the earth's mantle,
and caused the Pythoness to be thrown into an ecstasy of intoxication, in
which she would utter strange sounds, a kind of glossolalia, if you will,
which would be interpreted into some kind of cogent form of oracle by the
priests, later of Apollo. Originally the oracle was interpreted by
priestesses of Gaea the earth Goddess, but the male God Apollo took
over these shrines. A similar effect could also be reached bt chewing
on bay laurel leaves. The Pythonesses had to be virgins for two reasons:
1. the gases or juices from the laurel leaves would be harmful to the feutus
if the Pythoness were pregnant, and 2. If she were making love with
someone, her concentration would be off, since she would be distracted
by thought of him instead of what she was supposed to be doing. This
presupposes that the Pythonesses were hetero. Nothing is said about
how she might be distracted if she were in love with another woman.
Teiweth has studied the Pythoness in depth because she believes that
one of her past lives was spent as a Pythoness, which ended with the
explosion and collapse into the sea of the island of Thera, which is
now Santorini. The second class of sacred virgin was the Vestal
Virgins of ancient Rome. Here their whole duty was to keep lit
the sacred flame of Vesta, from which all the hearth fires of
Rome were lit. They had to focus on that flame, never allowing
it to extinguish, for surely calamity would befall that great city,
should the flame ever go out. There are similarities with the keepers of
the sacred flame of Bridgit, my patroness. I am not certain whether the
keepers of Brigid's sacred flame had to be virgins and celibate or not.
Certainly when the nuns were keeping the flame of St. Brgid alive they
were celibate, and so impenetrable. When Teiweth's friend Barbara and
roommate were putting together the Witchaven Society, she called herself
the Pythoness. She expressed this by pronouncing oracles, in the
shape of Tarot readings. Later she would acquire a snake, a female
Columbian red-tailed boa, which, when it was small, she would wear in her
hair, and it would aid her in doing Tarot readings, and other mantic arts.
Mantic arts is another name for divination. Unfortunately, the snake
grew to be far larger than she could handle. Teiweth still wants to
acquire another snake, this time one that will stay small such as a
ball python, or a corn snake. Her 3rd ex-hubby says that the brain of the
snake, which is only the reptile stem, melds sympathetically with her
reptile stem, or medulla oblongata, the seat of ritual behavior, of which
divination is one example, and this pulls more lore out of her subconscious
thus helping her to do a better reading. Gimel, the camel ship of the desert,
conserves its life giving waters. As gimel the high priestess reserves her
life giving waters within her hump. As the Moon, she only rules 1 sign,
Cancer, ironically enough my sign. The early Trumps are much more
powerful than the later ones. 0-10 are primary, 11-21 are secondary.
Basically the High Priestess embraces the power of the Moon, and
becomes one with it. The High Priestess doesn't become nonvirginal until
she becomes the Emress, at which point she is the Mother. Diana was considered
to be a virginal huntress. Brigit is considered not just as the Sun goddess, but also
the Monn Goddess. She is considered to be virginal until She is full, at which point she is
pregnant, the virginal goddess strong in herself, giving birth to herself.
The previous sentence was not created by me. Teiweth got it from somewhere,
and would really love to give that author credit, but she doesnded the library worker't remember where
she got it. If it sounds familiar to any of you, and you know where it comes from,
please email either Teiweth or me. She will give you five free minutes.

This ends our informational section, the first in a series of blogs on the Trumps
or Major Arcana, and how they are used in a reading. The preceeding will also be used
in my forthcoming book: Tarot for Pagans. This is called writing a book by committee.
and now for something completely different, more news than is fit to print.
Well, it's official: Isaac Bonewits has cancer. It's squamous carcinoma lesions
on the surface of the colon. So if you are visualizing a healing for him,
that's what to visualize. Teiweth is writing this, I'm dictating it. A strange thing
happened to Stephen while we were at the Colonial Heights Library at Stockton and 21st.
I had ordered a book; research for my book. Stephen had just handed the library
worker his card. He was about to give her 30 cents for his outstanding fines, when he noticed
that his wallet was gone. Someone had walked off with it while the library clerk was standing
right there, the security guard was just 2 steps away, and it had been right at his right elbow.
No one saw or heard anything. Nor was there anything in the trash cans. There is nothing
in that billfold of any value to anyone but him. His identity is not worth stealing.
As for his Medi-Cal card, he isn't on anything that would get anyone high. You'd have to be
pretty low to steal his Medi-Cal card. If you want a clairvoyant call Astro-Wing. Her number is
3323. Teiweth is a pseudo-clairvoyant. This means that she can get scenes, and faces, but no specific
names either of faces or places. Astro Wing is a true clairvoyant.
She can get those names and dates for you.


We are all saddened by the passing of Ted Andrews over into the Otherworld the Saturday belore last.
May he find peace and fulfillment in the arms of the Earth Mother, or whichever deities
he may have revered. Soupy Sales also passed on, recently. He was a very special part
of the TV lives of those of us born before 1965. I remember his face being caressed by the
"paws" of his two huge "dogs", one of whom was named either Fang or White Fang. Maybe
some of you who are old farts or geezers can remember his dogs' names. Maybe they're in the
Wikipedia. All I know is, I remember them from my warped childhood. Teiweth and I
want to meet more Pagans on Keen. Please comment on our blogs, and let us know who
and where you are.

In the next blog next week, we will be discussing the Empress, the Emperor, and the
Hierophant. Stay cool, and stay in school. You do realize that the earth plane is
an advanced finishing school for souls. This is according to our friend Richard ("Rufus")
Cathcart. You'll be hearing more about him in future blogs.
Peace! Peace! Peace! Stephen 6580 AD (Archdruid)

Now for some very bad news. I'm sure most of you know Isaac Bonewits. Tegwedd  and i have known him for a very long time. 35 years for her and 40 for me. He is in the hospital now. Tegwedd told you about this in her post before mine. Suffice to say if anyone hears about any healing circles for Isaac please let us know. Tegwedd and I want to be a part of it. We can't lose Isaac this way he has to recover. There is much more for him to do for the Pagan- Magickal community. "Mayy Patron Goddess Bridgit Lady of the 22 Names(my title) purge him of
 his illness. May he have a rapid and safe recovery. May he get through this ordeal and be with us who love and respect him and all he has done for us. O lady Bridgit, May this be done in your Holy Name B-R-I-D-G-I-T."
Now for a subject related to this group. "How to construct a Ritual Working". 1. The first thing to do is to make sure your place of Magickal Working is clean and free of dust. There is nothing worse then having a messy, dirty and dusty Ritual area so clean it up. Make it a pristine as you can. Make it a place to be proud of. 2. Now it is time to get you clean. Take a Ritual Bath with or with out bath herbs your choice. You can purify your ritual bath with bath herbs and purification herbs such as sage and eucalyptus. Here in Ca. we have a lot of eucalyptus trees. Maybe in your area they are not as plentiful.. Those 2 are very good purifying herbs use them if you can. Let me and Tegwedd know if you have others which will work just a well. After your Ritual Bath is done then it will be time to return to your Ritual Temple of Magickal Working. 3. Now that you are back in your Ritual Place of Working it is time  to don your Magickal Robes and perform the Magickal Working nude-skyclad it is up you. I prefer both. What I do is take off all my clothes then I don my Magickal Robe over my naked body. I do it this way because sometimes it gets cold. Now it is October almost November here in Sacramento. To each their own. Wear what you think is appropriate. I can only speak for myself not for you. You wear what you think is best. Some rituals you may want to be skyclad say a Sex Magick ritual with a Sex Magick partner.  4. At this point in phase 4 I would cross my legs in a East Indian or Native American style and do some form of meditation. This is just me but I feel it helps to center you and increase your focus. It is important to be focused for your Ritual. Each Magickal Working is different though. Some may not need a meditation phase . I say for me I need it but for you you may not. To each their own again. 5. Now comes the time of the casting of your Magickal Circle or Magickal Circle of Working. Whatever you want to call it is fine. Cast your Magickal Circle and walk or skip or dance clockwise the method is purely up to you. After you have created it sit or stand inside it. Visualize a light forming around you completing your Magickal Circle. This can be any colour you like. From Green to purple to Pure White or deep Red. It is purely up to you. After your Magick Circle is complete then it will be time to move to the next phase of your Magickal Working. 6. The next phase of your Magickal Working is your invocation or evocation of the Deities you want to evoke or invoke. Once again this is your choice on which one you want to use. In most cases my choice would be Celtic or Norse. It depends on the Magickal Working. I could use other cultures and races depending on the rite. Whatever the Magickal Working calls for is what I do. It could be Native American or Japanese. You can make your own decisions on this it is up to you. Whoever you evoke you can use this format and one you create yourself. You evocations-invocations should rhythm where possible. This is traditional for Wiccan Magickal Workings. Which is fine with me because I'm Wiccan for the last 40 yrs. Ten years as a Wiccan High Priest. Don't make your invocations-invocations very long but don't make it too short either. Make sure it has everything you want in it. Make sure the words you use project the right feeling. Make sure you know the deities that you are invoking-  evoking. Do your research on your deities before your ritual begins. Way before it begins. When your ritual begins you work with what you have and hope it is enough. You do the best you can. You learn by doing. You learn nothing by doing nothing. Don't be afraid. Just do your best.


There are 4 books every magick user should have and keep up.  1)Your Book of Shadows referred to as your BOS/Grimoire.  2) Your Magickal diary, which is like a lab note book.  When you have done your ritual, write down the ritual in your BOS/grimoire.  It is the collection of spells/rituals which you have done/are doing.  In your Magickal diary you can refer to your spell/ritual by the page it's on in your BOS/grimoire.  Whether you call it a BOS or a grimoire is up to you.  BOS is more for Witches.  Grimoire is more for magicians.  In your magickal diary, you note down the surroundings of your ritual, weather conditions, any pertinent details such as what signs the Sun and Moon are in, etc.  Describe what happened during the ritual, your feelings, and any other magickal apprehensions, insights, etc.  The magickal diary is your lab notebook for the magickal experiments you are carrying out.  I call it a lab notebook because I go along with Uncle Al's saying of "The Method of Science, the Aim of Religion.  3)  Dream journal or log  The subconscious should be the Witch's/Magus' best friend because it is here that the magick is really done.  The subconscious is the seat of the astral realms.  I know that as a writer I certainly use the subconscious as a resource, because it's where my stories all come from.  Artists and musicians, especially those who write and compose music also use the subconscious.  Here too resides your shadow, the unexpressed side of you, what you avoid about yourself.  But it is often expressed in dreams, which is why many people avoid their subconscious, since it seems weird and frightening to them.  But a Witch or Magician must learn to embrace his or her shadow, or it will rule you.  Tegwedd likes to follow the Thelemic practice of listing the sun sign and moon sign.  Then you describe the dream in as much detail as you possibly can.  Leave room for an interpretation, which may come later.  The form these books take is up to you.  You can go elaborate and expensive, or simple and cheap.  It is up to you and the resources, both financial  and physical you have to call upon.  Since scrap-booking is such a popular craft, many witches like to glue pictures and sprigs of dried herbs in their BOS's.  Tegwedd has a leather loosleaf binder she tells me she paid way too much for ($15) that she puts the printed handouts she gets at rituals she attends.  She also has a "Disk of Shadows", which is a floppy disk she types all her rituals and spells onto.  The magickal diary can also be simple and low cost.  She uses those marbled colored composition books you can get for cheap in August before school starts.  She reported to me that once she got a package of 4 for $2.  You can't haggle over a black hen's egg, but it is couth to hunt for the best bargains you can.  The Goddess doesn't want you to go broke doing this.  For the dream journal and 4) the divination journal you can also go fancy and expensive or cheap and simple.  Tegwedd tells me that a friend of hers in the Renaissance guild she belongs to bought a leather book with handmade paper from a Renaissance faire.  You can go that way, or do what Tegwedd did.  For her dream journal, she took a 3 ring loose leaf binder and put a package of notebook filler paper in it.  She did the same for mine.  4) for the divination journal, the same rule applies, elaborate & costly, or simple and inexpensive.  You can also use those hard-covered blank books you can get at bookstores.  They vary in price from just a few bucks to many.  You alone know what your budget will allow.  Don't be afraid to use found and scrounged objects.  It's what our Witchy ancestors, both actual and spiritual, did.  They didn't have fancy occult stores.  They had to rely on their ingenuity. 

7) Back to Magickal Working. In the Seventh phase you  would do your Divination. The Divination can be anything you want . From Tarot to Celtic Ogham-Ogam it is up to you. Use the system you are most familiar with. The one you know the best. I use the Tarot  and Runes and Celtic Ogham-Ogam because 3 is my number. I am comfortable with all 3. That is just me. I'm not you. I would suggest that you copy your reading so you can look at it later.  The ritual itself should go in your Magickal Diary. It  is always a good idea to keep good records for your rituals. You may want to compare your rituals in the future.
8). The next phase is spell casting  and incantation phase. Here you want to project your  will with inner strength and vigor. Your incantations and spells  must also projects that same strength and willfulness. Whenever possible you want your written spell or incantation to rhyme. If  nothing else it is traditional. I personally like my mine to rhyme. They seem to work better for me when they do. Again you don't have to take my word for it. Try it yourself see if it works for you.  All through these phases if you are using magickal tools such as a wand or sword-athame or chalice or pentacle they should be used at the appropriate time. 
9.) Now we have come to the end of our Magickal Working. But before we end  our rite I recommend one more meditation session. Think only of your Statement of Intent. Did you accomplish everything you wanted in your Magickal Working? What more could you have done? If you  feel you have then end your rite and say farewell to the forces and powers you evoked in the rite. If you feel you have missed something then by all means continue your rite. When you feel you have done all you can then say good bye to the Gods and Goddesses which you evoked -invoked and end the rite by closing your Magickal Circle of Working and thus your rite is ended.  If you feel I have missed something in this description of a Magickal Working please respond and tell me what I missed.
Well it is time to end this post. I hope you all got something out of it. If any of you can help me raise my $400.00 rent I would very much appreciate it. In point of fact  if you aid me you will receive a Divination reading or a class on a Pagan-Magickal subject of your choice. You can also give donations to Abbottsinn International through my Pay Pal account. Using these emails once your there: Abbottsinn@gmail.com and Abbotts_inn@yahoo.com Till we meet again. Take Care and Blessed Be. Have a good Sown-Samhain and send your healing energy to Isaac Bonewits. AD(arch-druid) Stephen W.

IMVU fked up again. They didn't put the title to my new blog entry. The is 'The End is Near'. Some of you may recognize this title from the old TV show by Chris Carter who also created X Files the show was' Millennium'. This was a wonderful show but was cursed because Tegwedd and I who is my 'Partner in Crime' who co-owns Abbottsinn International with me. When we like a TV show it is doomed to die soon. Mores the Pity. We did not say Fuck or even Fuck You IMVIU in any of it. Tegwedd has left IMVU in disgust. IMVU has been taken over by Fking Right Wing Republican Christians. They hate sexuality in all forms and they hate Pagans. Wake up people IMVU is fking dead. By the way I'm back to fk them over. I have reported them to the FBI's fraud division. They have a huge file on IMVU. Fuck IMVU. Ap and VIP status are bullshit. You don't get jack shit for these services. IMVU treats adults like 12yr old kids. I'm fking sick of it are you? Food for Thought. AD(arch-druid) Stephen.



* The End is Near

By the one who was formerly Tegwedd
IMVU is the worst experience I have ever had in my internet experience of 12yrs. It is the second worst experience I have had in my life as a whole. These are not the Middle Ages people. Sexuality between consenting adults, be they male or female is not forbidden, or illegal in this country. IMVU lives in its own private puritanical prudish dark ages. Paganism is a recognized legal group of religions in this country. I am proud to be a Pagan. I'm not sexual at the moment, but I see no reason why others who are so inclined should not indulge. Consenting adults should not be penalized because some parents do no know how to control and police their children. Why should adults pay your exorbitant prices for access passes and VIP status if you are just going to treat them like not-too-bright twelve year olds?

Get out, fellow Pagans, before it is too late, and you too are taken by these fraudulent bastards as I was. The entire IMVU system is draconian and user-hostile. I found it impossible to move around in the system, and so it became a source of boredom and frustration for me. Having just lost the love of my life, and being in a non-weight-bearing cast, I did not need more frustration in my life. Finally I'd had enough. I reported IMVU's deductions from my account as fraudulent, and had them take the charges from my account. You should be hearing from the FBI and the FTC any day now. Their file on your fraudulent and shady business dealings is probably as tall and fat as my third ex-hubby. That 25 million dollar profit they reported is from them drawing our hard earned money out of us like blood from a turnip. They're vampires, that's what they are, sucking out money from us like blood from their victims. All IMVU cares about is getting as much money as possible. They do NOT care about enhancing anyone's 3D chatting experience. Have a problem? Then you're SOL. They do NOT answer their phones. They are not out to help anyone, except themselves to YOUR hard earned money. The only time you're going to hear from them is when they've been spying on you, and you've had the unmitigated GALL to purchase credits or virtual goods from some third party resource, and they've spied on your account, and known you did this. They act like AT&T did when it first broke up and you had the gall to purchase instruments and services from non-AT&T sources. Remember the movie the President's Analyst? Remember the movie the Cable Guy? IMVU is every bit as bad, and at times worse. The horror stories I've heard would curl your hair. IMVU's Gestapo tactics are rampant across the netwaves. They are a lot like the Nazis, all they need is a swastika and a sieg heil salute to the swei fuhrers Charles and Cary. That's all I have to say.

Now back to our regularly scheduled Stephen93
IMVU hates all of you beautiful, sexy pagans. Many of you sweet sexy Pagans have been harassed across the length and breadth of the network. Sieg Heil the New Christian Republican network!. Their secret chief is Rush Limbaugh. I hate them for destroying my beautiful sex magick group the Abbott's Inn Fine Art of Passion Magick which had 128 members. I hate them for frakking with my inventory and the inventions of other sexy Pagans. IMVU is dead, people. If you're Pagan, if you like sex, heaven help you if you're gay, get out of IMVU. IMVU is now Christian, Republican, fascist, and Baptist. They are sex hating, Pagan hating bigots. IMVU makes even the Nazis of the Third Reich look good. Yeah, the Fourth Reich is alive and well on the Innternet, and its name is IMVU. AP and VIP are pure bullshit. You can't do scheissen with them anymore. IMVU thinks of all adults on IMVU as 12 year olds. My housemate Tegwedd is right. IMVU just frakking rips us off and schemes for more ways to separate us from our hard earned cash. I don't mind paying if I have it, and am getting value for my money, but IMVU is just a bad deal all the way around. They should practice truth in advertising and change the name to NCRBN: the New Christian Republican Baptist Network.. NCRN. Leave out Baptist: It's redundant.

The secret police insinuates their way into groups and then report back to their Gestapo masters. Soon after, the club or group is shut down. This has happened countless times. And did I mention their totally antiquarian way that you have to use in order to upload a picture to your group? Tegwedd did NOT exaggerate when she said they were user-hostile and draconian. You can't just browse your graphics until you find the perfect picture. OH NO!!!!!!! You have to have the specific URL of your graphic. Of all the antiquated backassward methods, this takes the cake. I could see it back in the 80s or 90s when all we had was BBS's, but my Goddess, wake up and smell the Earl Grey tea, people, this is the frakking 21st century!. There are hardly any clubs anymore where you can say f..k. Is that why I paid frakking 15 bucks to get into adult only areas? Then I was paying 10 bucks a month for VIP to get adult entertainment. I ask you, good Pagan folks WHERE IS MY FRAKKING ADULT ENTERTAINMENT? It's a ripoff. The only good thing you can say about VIP status is the the 1st of the month you get a paltry 5000 credits. For this paltry sum of credits, I pay 10 bucks a month, and now thanks to their policies, I can't even buy anything worthwhile with them anymore. Oh yeah Take a look at the socalled AP dress for women. Everything is covered. It looks like frakking Mormon temple underwear. If you like the so-called AP clothing for women, you probably get a woody for a nun's habit. What we need is a rated X version of IMVU for adults only. All you horny Pagans need to do is raise your shekels to about 10 miilion dollars, and it can happen. If the kids get caught, then the parents are penalized on felonies, not misdemeanors. That'll teach the parents to better police their kids.

Let's leave the vitriol behind and talk about some fun stuff. One acquisition I particularly like is the virtualgirls.com. You can have explicit girls stripping on your monitor screen. Utherverse is a a sexually based roleplaying game with explicit sexual encounters. It combines the three things I love most: sex, Paganism, and fantasy roleplaying gaming. Utherverse has a non-paying version, but who cares about that? / go to Utherverse to get laid. It's the only action I get anymore. Tegwedd says it's because I don't use the great aphrodisiacs enough, and am not willing to do what it takes to get a real in person woman. I also refuse to consider bedding down with the 400 lb tonnage this town boasts for Pagan women. Basically Utherverse has 2 parts the free part and the paying part. There are 2 forms of payment and sex is frequent and explicit. You can build your own sexual empire, something you can't do with IMVU. What you can do with Utherverse is found businesses, and schools. I offer divination readings and magick classes for 32 rays. The Utherverse is based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. It is a virtual model of the red light district of Vancouver. People rent or buy zavies, rooms which can be simple or elaborate. When I have the money, I'm getting into 2ndlife. 2nd life has 2 levels, and the one you pay up the nose for is the level with explicit sexual encounters.

Now for the stuff Tegwedd is really into. Abbott's Inn International School of Magick is spread across 20 networks, the four foremost of which are: Paganspace.net, Wiccantogether.ning.com, Ceridwenscauldron.ning.com, and Blessedbeuknetwork.ning.com. We haven't finished putting all our groups on these networks yet, but we will. We have a group for almost every pagan taste and interest. We're coming up on 50 groups now. We have over 400 groups, branches of these Pagan Magickal teaching groups, which are all free to join and participate. We only charge for readings and classes. We charge a flat $32 for a reading or a class. If you get both a reading and a class, we knock off $4 and charge only $60. Two classes are $60, but we really discourage 2 readings, because it confuses the Tarot.
What can I say about the Pagan Radio Network? www.paganradionetwork.net. I got Tegwedd to join, and together we are going to be participating in their forums. They play excellent Pagan music 24/7and have podcasts. We like to play it while we work together on our various posts to the internet. Get the PRN toolbar.Every time we mention the word toolbar, we do a Beavis and Butthead routine. Personally, I like them, they think they're really cool, but Tegwedd just thinks they're retardos. At the moment, we are working on a post to one of our Facebook groups. We start out with a Welcome and Intro, then post further to the groups as the inspiration hits us. For example, we recently posted to our Adventures in Shamanism groups a post on shapeshifting. Lycanthropy is a practice in shape-shifting, where the person takes on the semblence of a wolf. It would be very useful for either a warrior or a hunter. At present, we are working on the Welcome & Intro for the 11th House of Thoth, our Thelemic, Khemetic group. In realtime, the 11th House of Thoth preceded the Great Wild Beast Furtherment Society, and also the presence of the OTO in the San Francisco Bay area. Then there's Mind-n-Magick, which has a killer toolbar. All this stuff is free. Except for our readings and classes, everything we're telling you about in this paragraph is free, no money involved. Mind-n-Magick also has a killer Paganpedia, and a killer Pagan store. I'm a big fan of theirs, and have been promoting it since I got online some 7 years ago. Tegwedd introduced me to email, and gave me my gmail acct. Another network we have a great presence in is Google groups. Between us, we have 7 and soon to be 8 networks,as soon as I get off my skinny ass and form http://paganspawn.ning.com. We need people, groups, graphics, forums, music, graphics, and blogs. It's a great opportunity to obtain another blog, if you collect blogs as Tegwedd does. I do too, but my collection is nowhere near as formidable as hers is. We can also use advertisers. If you have a legal good or legal service for sale, advertise with us. For example, as much as Tegwedd and I would like to have prostitution and cannabis legalized, they are still crimes by this Christian-run puritanical country, so don't advertise them with us, but massages are still legal. Here is out Itinerary: finish Facebook, then Multiply, then tribes.net, finish Paganspace.com, return to Yahoo (every Wednesday) Hi5, Peace! Peace Peace! I'm planning on expanding Pirates for Pagans. I need to find someone who know his/her way around the uploading picture system, Tegwedd will be reappearing at irregular intervals to do guest blogging for me/with me. I like her brand of vitriol. Tegwedd says Blessed be merry part and merry meet again..

I am back.

Hi! Everyone. I am back. It is a bad thing we have no groups. This limits what I can do here. I have no idea how to get more friends. I have no idea how to make this place useful to my needs. At the present time I have only 2 friends. I guess I can tell you some news. http://www.imvu.com/ has gone anti-sexuality and Anti Pagan. It has been taken over by right wing Republican Christians who hate sex and Pagans. I am still there as Stephen93 but I'm there in protest. IMVU shutdown my group "Abbottsinn's Fine Art of Passion Magick". I had 128 members. They claimed it was against their bullshit policy. I had the group for 3yrs. So after 3yrs they decide to get rid of me and harass my members. That is bullshit. I urge all Pagans to stay away from IMVU. There are 100,000 members of IMVU and 40,000 of them are Pagans. They are cutting their own throat by harassing us. Their doing it none the less. People are angry all through the IMVU network. It is a shame what they have done. It was a fun place to be for many years but not anymore. I am very pissed about them killing my group. Stay away from IMVU. Unless you want to be harassed for bring Pagan or sexual or both. I hate how rabid Christians try to shut us up and oppress us. I hate what they have done to IMVU. I can't as a Pagan elder stay quiet as they attack us and our sexual interest. I will not be their slave. I will fight for my rights and not bow to their bullshit. It is too bad that those 40,000 Pagans do not fight for themselves. I will fight for them. I have been fighting for them for months. For all intents and purposes they should fight for themselves but they don't. I'm blacklisting IMVU on 20 Pagan related networks until they change their right wing policies. I have to do this because I care about our Pagan Community. In this case it is being attacked on IMVU. I hope you all stay away from IMVU now that you know about their attacks on Pagan faith and love of sexuality.
Well now to other subjects I want to hear from the rest of you about what subjects you want me to cover in this blog in the future. I want your feedback on how this blog should be written. Please let me know your thoughts. For now I will turn you on to Pagan related links that I have a hand in. 1. http://www.mind-n-magick.com/ This is a wonderful Pagan-Magickal site which has much to offer Pagan-Magickal folk. You need to download their toolbar it is free. It has so much to offer here are a few of the free services it has: Under their info section they have what they call their Paganpedia. You can contribute your own post and articles to this. You can do blogs there. I'm still trying to figure that part out. If all goes well I will have a Blog there as well. I have 68 blogs at the present time. I hope you download their wonderful toolbar. I'm setting up a meeting with their creator his name is Timothy. I will have more info on blogs after I talk to him. 2. http://www.paganradionetwork.net/ This is another great site. This is a Pagan radio station which play 24/7 of Pagan music.
