Goat Boy Finds Minor Arcadia
Hello.
Gee, I have a big woody now that I've been checking on what Anders
Sandbergs' Magick Page has that's new, and saw the Bibliotheca Arcana
(not the mailing list Arcana, though contributions by creator have
appeared there also. Happy to see some formidable mythography and
cross-cultural linkage. Very nice!)
Was reading up on Glaucos, especially nice since I'm supposed to be a
minor priest or something for having *magically* bestowed said honor on
myself.
Okay, so I didn't read it I just looked at the pictures and scanned for
proper nouns, but this Sculla who got in the story, she would be
Scullcap, while Glaucos is primarily the poppy? That's my prediction
based on the tradition of "we make it easy to figure these out, honest".
I forgot to see if he mentions Pine Nuts under Artemis, but anyway, we
do that here...
I'll be back to figure out Why scullcap got in this story someday...
Okay, okay
1. Poseidon *rules* horses. Probably posies. Indians think they make horses long-winded
2. Scullcap has seed pods like horse hoofs more than Scullcaps, so that
probably more than half the literature about *Phillip* is about
Scullcaps theoretically.
3. Because shaking poppy heads probably scares the beJeeziz outta
horses, they think it's rattlesnake. At least out west... which makes ya
wonder, dunnit?
4. Because when young and foolish initiates get themselves into trouble
with poppy products, it is often horseboy Apollo's Scullcaps that get
called on to bail them out if not Sister Artemis' posies (ie Artemisia
vulgaris has a real good reputation already. Or at least a wide one.
Hey, torch a Composite and there's a good chance we're into the
dopamine/dopa here, a lot of supportive citations for resuccitants here.
5. A whole fleet of really far out signature stuff hooking up to the
mythos about how to become a mermaid or at least a better pearl diver.
Here's some magic I obviously don't do, and yet someday soon the though
cluster may well help me keep breathing.
The really weird stuff is, I repeat, how squishy little sea slugs keep
together at depths whose pressures would flatten well-reinforced
submarines like pancakes. What's *the bends* got to do with opiate
withdrawal and ectoplasm and nitrogen. That kind of stuff. Stuff only
Sheldrake and Bohm could figure out by sitting down and working very
hard to keep their heads out, and calling Persinger often. Stuff that
never happens, I suppose.
6. And then some...
Holy overpopulation Batman! Mermen! Artemis hadta date a guy like That,
in fact, they used to sneak out behind the Wild Lettuce and show each
other their Thyrsean snorkels.
But that IS another story; I predict you'll find it here.
Peace!

Ecclectic Confessions
Hello.
Jeez, I must be running out of material...
I mean, so I get twenty to fifty page essays out of lowly old Knotgrass
through the Doctorine of Signatures, and when I picked up a used copy of
Time magazine (at Goodwill!) on addiction I realized the several hundred
pages about existance in drug-infested neighborhoods being a signature
in itself was still incomplete... to the best of my knowledge, at least
in certain places you could tell what herb might help a sleep disorder
because it grows next to a bleedin' clock shop. It's just across the
street from wormwood that won't come near an outreach ministry for dear
life and just down from several Immortelles nodding their heads at the
elderly. (Quickly dedicating them to Artemis along with my cudweed
collection...). Another one came so far of it's way to chastise and
ridicule a used car salesman as a *silver tongued devil* along with an
exclusive handfull of it's kind, and some other ranting about *buckets
of rust*; add a compass plant and mullein for shoes, with it's flowers n
the unusual shape of a crook. A crow drops a walnut in the road to crack
it, and I know why motorcyclists should wear helmets, and maybe what to
do if they don't.
I dunno.
I studied orchids a long time. There are some Cycnoches, ironically from
some pretty exotic places that sounded like they'd written most of the
book on what's up with the KKK, latent heart disorders and things, and
pointing out some of the strange disparities (*I like my coffee black
and my people white*--!?!?!) some *moth to the flame* comments on
photosensitivity cycles and SADS/ light therapy (*we like to burn things
when it gets dark*) and body temperature (*we like to dress like
icicles*), a lot of matchheads going on about phosphorus. So much about
swans that you just know someone in question shold be doing a cool belly
float for a P*ssed-off triple-warmer, an incensed spleen and a possible
testicular hypothermia or something. Also noticed that sterotyping
Afro-american dietary habits if it served to discourage anyone was a
terrible set-up for contributing to creating the negative sterotype
through malnutrition (watermelon=glutamine, arginine; chicken=tyrosine,
etc etc.) Same problem Anita Bryant had with oranges (no idea if these
work a crude physical drug, Gurudas who mentions this of course only
refers to homeopathic form, so the half gallon of tincture from a single
bough of flowers probably gets diluted down to serve the whole world or
something). (There was also a genus of Orchids that might have been
making a run of comments on SIDS; the genus Orchis itself seems vocal
about a lot of difficulties of war veterans. It's just that kind of
stuff, the only herb in my garden from Iran or Irag will just happen to
treat repercussions of *Desert Storm*, I suppose... [Dracocephalum sp.
(Labiatae), probably D. canescens or D. aff. canescens]
Ideally in shamanism, symbolism permits that your prospective patients
will find a way to tell you what's wrong with them (sometimes I tend to
prefer *old-fashioned* diagnoses).
But anyway, I'm happy to repeat about Orchids. I wouldn't advocate their
use in medicine in a million years, it might sort of be alot like eating
your college professor. They seem always quick to suggest other remedies
than themselves who are not so precariously balanced in the food chain
with such proximity to extinction. The molecules are fairly exemplary,
and the aromaterapy leads right back into the mainstream, nothing so
rare in general.
Just something I hear way too little about, and when I do hear anything,
its always something disturbing.
Of course I'm just making all this up generally, but I'd hate to miss
any matching reality for never daring to suspect such *serendipitous*
*coincidence*... there Are some conformations in the general area that
are formidable and striking...
...Blither babble bubble bubble toil and trouble blither babble...
Todays' word from my talking pumpkin: *Look, Apolloni, you pud, I don't
need a detachable jaw, I'm a resonant cavity!* (whatta attitude!) Okay,
pumpkins know best, I guess... I shouldn't use beeswax candles for my
bewyckin's, maybe... now to see whether me or the pumpkin is first to
get a driver's license... perhaps there is no one who can talk to a
vegetable quite so well as another vegetable :-)

World's Smallest Violin Dept.
Hiya.
Gee, only ninety some posts more today from me (AIEEEE!!!! NOOO!!!!) and
we'll be making max use of the *bandwidth*... (relax, I'm just kidding)
Somewhere back when I was talking about stuff like the thinner the
accupuncture needle the better it may work due to the behavior of
quantum matter (er, does this mean the bigger the mouth on a bottle the
better for preserving your fluid condensers, or am I as confused as
usual?), I think I missed suggesting that the literary style of
Paraclusithryon (oh baby let me in pretty please with sugar on top
wouldja woulda huh?) can be also made to apply to this, so that classics
like Callimachos' epigram with Kynopion can be construed to have another
bizillion trillion meanings like Knotgrass on the needles compensates
for size. Holy Titania! (sound of sheepboy stuffing copious Knotgrass
down front of over-alls). Yes, Callimachos' poor rejected lover out on
the porch freezing and begging to come in if not using Knowgrass as a
magic lock pick, eating it to stay warm, or who knows which of a million
tricks of appropros including improve their eyesight, since the doors
and windows probably aren't even covered... ought if all else fails
become quantum stuff with this herb and spritz right through the
keyhole. Personally, this one scares me, so I think I may only use it
for getting genies back in their bottles and things...
Not to bring up alchemy...well okay to bring up alchemy, there's Kushi's
non-rusting alchemic iron that seems relevant here...okay, why don't
these accupuncture needles rust, right?
Meaning you have to guess exotic matter, look up heavy leptons (see
Muons/ mu meson) c.a. 1938, and leap to some conclusion that when you
expect that an object transmutated is doing that business about
exchanging its atoms for the atoms of another element that lie in the
earth (yup, the possibility of alchemic pollution!?!?!) that they pass
*through the gateway of Janos* (given this business about
Michael Faraday and cavities and charge migration and *lightning-like*
crevices, *as doorways*, I'd take Janus to be a He-Juno or Jupiter
experimentally... what the heck...
...and all of this, in addition to Teller's Magneto-electric spectrum
appearing in *that Vibrational Medicine book* and Stanley Kripner e.a.
*Dimensions of Healing* (the book with Sister Justa laying hands on
chromatography, was it Doc Fox that mentioned this?), goes to slap
Hermes Trismestigus upside the head slightly...being another expression
of the now familiar reactance-window theory of how freqeuncy shifts
change physical proerties and behaviors... *as above maybe Not Always so
below, especially when inside out, maybe as above, opposite below* is
perhaps closer to the actual law...
best two out of three for a physics lecture on the tunneling effect
next?
*I was just thinking so this is just what I thought*
B*B &

Uh, whatever...
Hello from that Silicon Siberia known as Digest Mode, won't know what
the hey anyone's talking about until later tonight...
Would just like to bring up Phase Conjugation again, I think I must have
understated the potentials of the appearance of pump loops in magic
analogous to their appearance in coherent optics/ lasers...
...whilst I simultaneously still ponder what kind of wireless or not the
roar of the ocean in a shell is. Could be more of calcium stutting its
metaphysical stuff like some molecular/atomic counter-magnetic
amplifier, the smallest division of a magic mirror normal peoplegive a
hoot about. Sacred to Aphrodite, it bridges the distance between loved
ones...
...at the same tme I'm read to fire off a rip-roarin' doodah about
magical fireproofing in a class that when turning a field inside out,
forces the fire and it's would be fuel to be two qualified seperate
objects. Basically got his off of Callimachos, Doorweed biofilters, how
to let the dog pass the door but not the germs. (Inexhaustable epigram
on Kynopion)...
...whilst I whack the 4-th law logic out of duality to embrace the many
rainbows in the middle, because Cat would obviously do it were
he disposed...
...and contemplate having psionic and other ancient circuitry tatooed
strategically on my body...
...whilst I wonder what the hell the Spiral of the Sacred Goddess has to
do exactly with that *final solution* most downplayed in my writings,
Space Travel itself. I am of couse optimistic...
...er, my ice cream is melting...
Peace!

Incubi and Succubi (was: re: Halloween)
Hi Happy Hallo, er, Samhain...
Incubi and Succubi?
My tribe of one has a peculiar definition of these, they are equal to
both the Night Hag or Lamia and to UFO visits. The experiences use
symbols to inform the victim or the practitioner about the nature of the
experience. The common demoninators almost always seem to concern
respiratory paralysis or sleep paralysis.
The form of the incubus or succubus, the draining demon lover, is a good
symbolic comment on the relationship here to some of the illuminating
ideas;
I have posted previously (in fact I started posting the material on the
Arcana list about last march) on Occulthaven, and I usually try to throw
the word Grey into the subject line.
Besides being outstanding as an example of Shamanic symbol diagnostics,
it is also outstanding as an example of the holographic brain at work.
Such simple, archetypal experiences as these are unusually rich in
assignable meanings, the sort of complexity we'd come to expect from the
direct involvement of an organ as complex as the brain.
I don't think I'm even going to try to repeat any substantial part of
all this here unless anyone wants me to; some of the keys here are
Oxygen deprivation/ deficit; grey as in aliens being the color of
severely underoxygenated people.
I wouldn't limit it to this, nor rule out such causes or factors as
Mercurial describes. But similar to the idea of demonic oppression, one
of the first things to try to rule out would be a respiratory repression
or general lack of oxygen.
I think ultimately or ideally or whatever there are some revelations for
mankind riding on the *Greys* version that may have been absent from the
earlier version such as the Night Hag (although this might get a point
if she flew in on a broom?).
Anyway, *lumping* these expereinces together by their common
denominators actually is the work of medical/ neurolgical researchers.
As far as I know, adding Interpretive Shamanism is my move.
I am working with some ideas at present like treating *incubi* as Square
Stem and *succubi* as Succulent, references to certain plant groups that
may be helpful with these disorders...
I certainly won't be surprised if various Ethnobotanical classifications
of plants like the Navaho *Grey Medicine* group indicate substantial
grouping that may also be helpful...
One of the keys to second-guessing the appearance of outright reality is
that in the modern experiences at the very least, there is consistently
some tell-tale ideosyncracy. (The significance usually seems overlooked
by the victims of such experiences).
Peace!
