Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. - AL I:40

Tuesday January 15th 2008 – 6:00pm I reveived this email from Frater Shiva, a senior member of the old Solar Lodge, regarding my review of his book 'Inside Solar Lodge - Outside the Law' which was posted earlier today. He writes:

Hi Jerry,

Thank you for your enthusiastic review (recommendation) of my little exposé on the life and times of Solar Lodge.

I have examined your previous works on Solar Lodge ("Myths of the ..." and "Red Flame") and found them to be a strong force in helping to dispel the ridiculous glamour and outright lies that the memory of the Lodge has inherited. In fact, only your work, and that of Martin P. Starr, seems to be aimed at telling the truth of the matter. All of the other entries appear to be dedicated to rumormongering and exuberant sensationalism.

Although one review indicated that "...there's little evidence of anyone actually developing spiritually...", and although I actually implied that in the book, I feel inclined to qualify that concept further:

There was spiritual progress. I was present at the true (internal) awakening of several members (the so-called 1=10, or Ist degree, "Birth" experience). Many went on to subdue Yesod, and some even "mastered" Hod. But only a partial handful made it to Netzach, and I know of none who pierced the veil and made it all the way to Heliopolis during their tenure in the Tong. 

After Solar Lodge (implied reference to: "Escape from the Tong"), a few

Ronin reformed under Star System, and then some further progress was

made. But that's another matter.

Now that I have established that some of us were spiritual heroes, I should also say that if we were to be labeled Brigands and Pirates, well, that would be downright accurate. There is a little-used term for the procedure: "Seizing the Lodge." In world politics it's called "Coup d'etat." If you get away with it, you get to be King of the Hill. If it doesn't work, you get executed (or at least people tell bad stories about you).

Thanks,

      Shiva

Bravo! ... and I replied, "I am very humbled by your comments about my review. Thank you. I admit, although I have had more information than most on the subject of the Solar Lodge, I still always felt that I lacked a full picture. That is why I enjoyed your book. I began my defensive mode of the Solar Lodge back in the seventies thanks to Grady McMurtry. Regardless of his rants about the library thefts which infuriated him and often blinded his judgment, especially as seen in his early letters to Jean and Dick, he always turned the story around to us by saying that he admired you guys for at least having the guts to take the Thelemic reigns and running with it. He always considered you all serious magicians. That dichotomy struck me, because I believed that if he felt this way then obviously there was far more to the story than most people were aware. I am so glad that someone has finally told the true story …"

[Note: Frater Shiva is refering to my Grady biography and

to the article that I wrote titled Myths of the Solar Lodge.]

1:20pm Here is some News I’d like to pass on to my readers: “Maila Nurmi, whose ‘Vampira’ TV persona pioneered the spooky-yet-sexy Goth aesthetic, has died, coroner's officials said. She was 85. Nurmi died Thursday afternoon [Jan.10th] at her Hollywood home, Los Angeles County coroner's Lt. Fred Corral said. The cause of death has not been determined, Corral said. Nurmi created her Vampira character -- reminiscent of Charles Addams' spooky New Yorker cartoons -- to host horror movie broadcasts on KABC TV in Los Angeles in 1954. With darkly mascaraed eyes and blood-red lipstick, Nurmi appeared each week in her revealing black dress and slinky fishnets to introduce such films as Revenge of the Zombies and Devil Bat's Daughter. The Vampira Show was canceled after about a year, but Nurmi remained a cult figure among B-movie buffs and is thought to have inspired the vampish Morticia Addams on The Addams Family, which premiered about 10 years later. But Nurmi's cultural resonance did not translate into long-term wealth. In 1989, she lost a $10 million lawsuit that contended Cassandra Peterson's late-night horror hostess Elvira pirated her character. "There is no Elvira. There's only a pirated Vampira," she was quoted as saying in an Associated Press story at the time. "Cassandra Peterson slavishly copied my product and made a fortune. America has been duped." Among Nurmi's scattered film appearances following her TV career was a cameo in Ed Wood's 1959 cult classic, Plan 9 From Outer Space. Nurmi was played by Lisa Marie in Ed Wood, Tim Burton's 1994 tribute to the B-movie director. Nurmi was born Maila Elizabeth Syrjaniemi in Finland on December 11, 1922, and emigrated with her family to Ohio, said Heather Saenz, a friend. In her late teens she went to New York, where she fell in with a clique of actors and artists and moved with them to Hollywood to seek a film career, Saenz said. She worked as a chorus girl and model before appearing as Vampira, Saenz said. Nurmi supported herself late in her life by selling handmade jewelry, Saenz said. Saenz and her husband, Bryan Moore, met Nurmi in 2005 when they recruited her to serve as grand marshal in a procession of hearses sponsored by Los Angeles' Petersen Automotive Museum. Moore said he plans to transport Nurmi's casket in the same hearse she rode in at the parade -- a vintage 1951 vehicle that appeared in a scene of Ed Wood. "So that's going to be Vampira's last ride," he said. Funeral arrangements are pending. Nurmi has no known surviving family, Moore said.”

8:00am Here is my long awaited ‘Book Review’ of INSIDE SOLAR LODGE, OUTSIDE THE LAW, True Tales of Initiation and High Adventure by Frater Shiva (Teitan Press 2007)

When I first started to study Crowley’s magick in my High School years, back in the late 1960s, like many up & coming initiates we heard stories of the Solar Lodge. Unfortunately our initial source was that of Ed Sander’s book about Charles Manson and the Sharon Tate murders titled The Family. Inevitably, about ten years later, I joined Crowley's OTO. Grady McMurtry loved sharing his stories of what he had discovered in the early 1970s about the Solar Lodge during his investigation into the library thefts of Germer, Regardie and Mildred Burlingame. Years later, when I began writing Grady’s biography, I obtained a full set of his unpublished research and letters where he discussed in-depth his findings with Gerald Yorke and Israel Regardie and a few others about the Solar Lodge. Most of these files are not found in the OTO archive but remained in the possession of his ex-wife Phyllis Seckler who graciously shared them with me. I found what Grady discovered to be a fascinating story but again, it lacked intimacy as to the Solar Lodge's real legacy. What I did learn was that Grady, indirectly was responsible for the information, albeit very twisted and sensationalized, that was published in The Family.  It seems Ed Sanders heard of occult connections regarding Manson and he went off to do research in this area, where he met everyone from Israel Regardie to the noted occult author Arthur Lyons who was then aiding the Riverside County Deputy District Attorney in his investigation. Lyons acknowledged that there “was absolutely no evidence that Manson or any of his followers had any contact with the Solar Lodge.” However, Lyons met Grady and Phyllis. Phyllis would later comment, “We met Lyons only once in Golden Gate Park and discussed matters on which he was working. Grady gave his version of the books stolen from Sascha (and mss). I remember Lyons was nervous about his research into black lodges and hinted his life might be at stake.” Lyons, still very paranoid, later shared all this information with Ed Sanders who then, like the old children's telephone game, distorted it in order to prove his point in The Family and thus ... legends were born. But Grady's files debunk most of Sander's book and it was too bad that they remained buried for as long as they have. This new book by Frater Shiva fills in the gaps where my biography on Grady is lacking. INSIDE SOLAR LODGE, OUTSIDE THE LAW is a remarkable account starting in the early 1960s long before the Solar Lodge was established until long after its demise. I highly recommend this book and I enjoyed it immensely. For people who are interested in the truth behind the Solar Lodge, this book is a must and for those who have never heard about this Order, you’ll discover a piece of Crowleyanity, long buried. I must remind my readers; Aleister Crowley in our day and age is everywhere and we tend to forget that at one time he almost faded into obscurity. In today's world where we have a multitude of individuals spinning off from different groups and creating ‘new’ magickal Orders, it would be to my readers best interest if they got this book, a book detailing one of the first and most serious of the Aleister Crowley spin-offs. ... You can, no, you must, buy this book ... see Weisers Antiquarian Books

7:20am For the history buffs: Tom Longstaff, the famous mountain climber and President of the Alpine Club, was born on this date in 1875. In his biography titled This My Voyage (1950) he wrote that his old friend Aleister Crowley “was a fine climber, if an unconventional one. I have seen him go up the dangerous and difficult right (true) side of the great ice fall of the Mer de Glace below the Geant alone, just for a promenade. Probably the first and perhaps the only time this mad, dangerous and difficult route had been taken.” He died in Scotland on June 27, 1964 at the age of 89. …… and the only other thing I’d like to mention is that on this date in 1947 a corpse was discovered which began one of the most famous unsolved murders cases in the history of Hollywood - the Black Dahlia. The woman’s real name was Elizabeth Short. Her nude body was discovered in an empty lot in two separate pieces. It had been bisected in half at the waist and drained of all its blood. The body was also covered with numerous mutilations, cigarette burns and her mouth was cut wide open from corner to corner as if to give some frightful smile.

8:00am My dear friend Evelyn writes, " ... and if you're still in the mood for dissecting personalities according to their sun signs, mine is Libra. There, I've said it!" ..... I replied, You’re a Libra!  Not bad. I think you are one of the few signs where I’ve almost never met a ‘female’ under its influence. All signs slightly shift where a ‘female’ is concerned compared to a male; due to archetype, up-bringing and etc. Crowley was a Libra, as was Grady and Jack Parsons; so were Rosaleen Norton and Annie Horniman. I don’t know what you were so worried about; astrology tells us that most Libras are accomplished, almost unconscious Lovers due to their ruling planet being Venus and they are much given to sentiment and romanticism. Everything surrounding sex must be beautiful and harmonious; a Libra likes subtle perfumes, candles, incense, massage oils and all things which arouse their senses. Libras are one of those fascinating signs of the zodiac but like all signs, your pendulum can swing between 'not bad' to 'chuckling behind your back.'  Of course all the sexual scenarios that I post on-line are simple overviews or generalizations of each sign. Consider it like reading a book on just ‘Sun Signs.’ Yes, quite a bit of what is written about your sign may seem accurate. However, it reads too generic. Where are the quirks? A full astrological chart is needed; one showing all the planets, which houses they fall in and the aspects between them which will give you a better understanding of what makes you different than other people born under the same sign as yourself.  The same goes for these blurbs about each sign’s sexuality which I enjoy posting but in truth, they are simply generalizations. The reason I say this is because Libras, more than any other sign, strives hardest to always be right and if it is unable to do such toward outside circumstances, it simply rethinks and rationalizes inside its head as to why it is correct. Astrologers say its Libras insatiable need to recalibrate the Balance whenever it feels the scales are tipping. This makes talking about sexuality most difficult to Libras [and Tauruses], of all the signs. ... Still the one quote that I like is “Libra is a very refined sign and has very discriminating tastes; it likes the finer things in life and living in style, especially if they cannot afford it. Show me a woman that won't put out until she's given fine jewelry, a candlelight dinner in an expensive restaurant; then later made love to on satin sheets and I'll bet that she’s probably a Libra or has strong Libran traits in her chart.”  .... I might add; yes, Crowley, Grady and Jack all liked the finer things in life and anyone who came within their grasp often paid the bill for it! Although it's not a complaint, I know this to be true because my wallet was often empty around Grady. Boy could he spend!

7:05am For the history Buffs: On this date in 1892, one of the people whom Scotland Yard suspected was Jack the Ripper, slipped off into a deep permanent sleep due to a slowly induced morphine overdose. He was Prince Albert Victor or Eddy the Duke of Clarence and the future King of England, if he had lived. It is written that years later “Aleister Crowley had somehow acquired a few incriminating letters from the dead Prince to a boy who lived in Cleveland Street.” The author who over heard Crowley make these comments was St. John Terrapin who wrote, “I heard him discussing the prospects for using them to raise money from those who might want them suppressed.” What became of this blackmail scheme is not recorded if it ever took place at all. ….. and I should also point out that Gerald del Campo was born on this date in Cordoba, Argentina in 1960. He is an initiate of the Ordo Templi Orientis, ordained Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica Priest, Master of an O.T.O. Oasis and author of the book New Aeon Magick: Thelema Without Tears (1994), which one reviewer called, “An excellent straight-forward primer for the curious novice or neo-pagan who’d like to learn a bit more about Thelema without going directly through Crowley.” ….. and on January 14, 1961 Sergei Torop was born in Krasnodar, Russian. Originally he was a traffic cop in the city of Minusinsk but, after being fired in 1989, this Russian mystic began proclaiming himself the Messiah, or Jesus Christ re-born. He assumed the title Vissarion Christ. He then established the Church of the Last Testament which would boast a membership of almost 4,000 people all of whom are called Vissarionites. Unlike the first Jesus this ‘Redeemer’ has a wife and six children. ….. and finally, keeping with today’s theme, on this date in 1967 in San Francisco, the ‘Human Be-In’ took place which was attended by over 20,000 people. The promoters prepared almost 5,000 doses of DOM (STP) to distribute for free, to help promote the love-in atmosphere. Unfortunately, the dose they manufactured was approximately 15 mg, or literally 5-10 times higher than a recommended dose and hundreds of people experienced extreme ‘trips’ which, in some cases, lasted up to three days with many ending up in the hospital.

Sunday January 13th 2008 – 4:00pm Magick, philosophy and what we, as magician, are into are some of the most difficult topics in the world to elucidate upon. This becomes even more complicated when AA students write a two line question which is neither written well, nor understandable 'outside of their mind' as to the full intent; it being something hacked out quickly, most likely while they were on line. Anyway, my patience has finally worn thin with some of you guys and you know who you are because some of you have been repeatedly scolded for shoddy work. Our AA is a 'College', start treating it as such. Never forget, my blog is and always has been servicing many needs; I can answer silly humor or fun topics in seconds; being like mind candy but deeper questions where someone’s spiritual guidance is at stake requires deeper contemplation and I’m tired of trying to decipher what some of you are asking in order to simply think about it. So be forewarned; from now on, if you cannot distinguish between quick humor and High Magick on my blog and write accordingly, as if handing in your question [or paragraph] to a College professor so that he can get on the same page as you, then I’m going to start ignoring some of you students. You are doing little more than wasting my time.

7:00am Carol sent a reply to my ‘cute’ comments about my penis from my Jan.11th 2:00pm posting. It was a nice email, part of which she said, “I was refering to cute in a positive way or from an artistic point of view, viewing the angle, lighting and over all picture. You should post it so people can make their own judgement.” …. she also adds, "I like the picture." .... Reply; thanks for the reassurance but again, I don’t think people want to see the picture, besides, you never bothered to send me in a picture of your pubic area for my astrological securitization and scientific analogy. ... And finally, to answer one of Carol’s other questions: yes, Aisha does seem to be quiet of late regardless of all the mentioning of her name on the blog but I believe her vacation with her family in LA is over and I think she’s heading back to Japan to work.

6:20am As for Andy’s other question: “The war between the Abra-Melin and Enochian makes sense to me in an old Aeon new Aeon sense, but along those lines where does the Greater and Lesser Key of Solomon fit in? Old Aeon but not directly hostile as the Abra-Melin?” … Answer: Again, you ask a complicated question, virtually impossible to answer without writing a discourse on Angelic hierarchy and I fear any answer I give may seem inappropriate. Be that as it may; the ‘War in Heaven’ is found in virtually every religion in some form or another as a battle between good and evil. In truth, it is more a battle between ‘approach’ than anything rooted in hatred. Anyway, common sense tells us that the Greater Key is Angelic (objective) Magick of a higher nature while the Lesser Key is Goetic or Elemental (subjective) of a lower nature. Although similarities came be found between them and the Abramelin and Enochian systems I would advise not trying to pigeon hole everything into a nice ‘Malkuthian’ filing cabinet.  As Above, So Below.  We have a multitude of races, beliefs and cultures on Earth but Christianty [and other religions] have this insane need to make everything ‘simple’ in the Above. Don't fall into their trap. .... A final note: yes, Crowley’s Abramelin diaries from his Boleskinne period clearly have a vision of the Abramelin and Enochian Angels fighting the ‘squaring of the circle’ but what does this mean? How could they be at war if in The Vision & The Voice both seem to be working hand in hand? Ah, grasshopper, you’re missing the obvious.

6:00am Andy from Sacramento asks, “Where should one start with Enochian Magick? Evokation, Skrying? And to what end. Is creating change on Malkuth to make your life more enjoyable or make your work easier recommended for or against?” …. Answer: You ask complicated questions. Without intimately knowing your magickal training I would never advise you, or any of my own students to begin Enochian. It can be very dangerous; if not to you directly, then to your surroundings. Also, I’m not sure what you mean by ‘creating change on Malkuth’ as your question is not really clear but any work on Malkuth must follow the Laws of ‘One you control, while the other controls you.’ In other words, 'enjoyable, easier', these words are too subjective for me to reply adequately. What you, via your Zodiac sign, lifestyle and a multitude of other mundane things require is different than others; no two people are alike. What implies Freedom for you is insanity to another. However, in brief, we’re trying to establish our bodies as a Lodge or Temple for the descent of the HGA; inside you is the True and Faithful, Rose Croix Order. We must learn how to be in control of all things Malkuthian so as not to allow them to affect our Inner Sanctuary. Yes, magick states ‘Change is stability’ but this is the Law required to fight inertia and lethargic behavior; ‘habit’ is a dangerous road to walk upon and if you are too set in your ways you have a tendency to drop your guard; that is why, without knowing your magickal training I would never advise you to begin Enochian.

5:30am For the history buffs: John Dee, the notorious Elizabethan magician, finished writing his classic treatise titled The Monas Heiroglyphica on this date in 1564, after having begun it 13 days earlier. ……. Also, Clark Ashton Smith was born on this date in Long Valley, California in 1893. He wrote a classic set of stories titled: Out of Space and Time. Many argue that some of his stories clearly belong into Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos category. He has also written such stories as The Weird of Avoosl Wuthoqquan, The City of the Singing Flame, The End of the Story, A Night in Malnéant, The Double Shadow and  The Return of the Sorcerer. Clark Ashton Smith died in California in August 1961 at the age of 68. ….. Andrew Jackson Davis the famous ‘Poghkeepsie Seer’ died on this date in 1910 at the age of 83. He was born in Blooming Grove, New York in 1826, many believe him to be the one of the founders of modern Spiritualism. In 1844 he had a strange experience that had an enduring effect on the rest of his life. It seems, in a state of semi-trance, he wandered away from home and awoke the next morning 40 miles away in the mountains. It was here that he met two venerable spirits; the ancient physician Galen and the Swedish seer Emanuel Swedenborg. The following year, while in an altered state in November 1845, Davis began to dictate his great work, The Principles of Nature, Her Divine Revelations and a Voice to Mankind. All were published in 1847. ……. Dr. Morris Jessup receives his first letter from Carlos Miguel Allende on this date in 1956 which dealt with Einstein’s unified field theory and the real experiments on board a U.S. destroyer which had vanished without a trace in a harbor in Philadelphia. Some individuals actually believe that the movie titled The Philadelphia Experiment was just a fictitious story to amuse the masses.  

Saturday January 12th 2008 – 5:45pm Have you guys checked out the new TEITAN PRESS website yet? wwwteitanpress.com. It begins by stating: "Welcome to the home page of the Teitan Press, a small press devoted to scholarship in Western Esotericism, with a major focus on the literary and occult works of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) and his circle." It then goes on to give us a little history: "The Teitan Press. Inc. was incorporated in Illinois in 1985 by Crowley scholar Martin P. Starr, and his business partner, Frank Winston. In the years that followed they produced an impressive selection of books. ... After two decades of gentlemanly publishing, The Teitan Press, Inc. was dissolved in December 2006. The imprint was then passed to Keith and Marilyn at Weiser Antiquarian Books. A year later the first book to be produced under our management came off the presses: Inside Solar Lodge, Outside the Law, by Frater Shiva." .... and we wish you guys all the best and you have our 100% support! 

6:50am To answer a rather amusing question about The Book of Lies in a friends email let me begin by saying that like most things dealing with Aleister Crowley, there is yet another mystery surrounding this subject and to understand it requires knowing abit of history. It was in 1910 that Crowley entered the OTO as a VIIth Degree member. Crowley joined at this level because the OTO originally had a policy which stated that any individual who was a 33º Scottish Rite Mason, which Crowley was, could join the OTO at the equivalent degree - which, of course, is the Seventh Degree. In the same year, on June 1st, Aleister Crowley was elevated to the IXº and chartered as 'the Most Holy, Most Illustrious, Most Illuminated and Most Puissant Baphomet, Xº, Rex Summus Sanctissimus 33º, 90º, 96º' to operate a National Grand Lodge for Great Britain and Ireland.' There is some controversy over how he ascended the ranks within the OTO to Ninth Degree. The popular story is that an extremely angry Theodor Reuss confronted him in his London flat claiming that he had revealed the inner-most secrets of the IXº of the Ordo Templi Orientis in his recently published The Book of Lies. Crowley claims he was shocked. He began re-reading the section in question entitled The Mass of The Phoenix and was immediately struck by a lightning bolt of illumination as the inner secrets of the OTO unfolded themselves. For hours they talked and the result was that Reuss appointed Aleister Crowley head of the OTO for the British Isle and made him officially a IXº member. We know this meeting definitely occurred in 1912 but what is confusing is the fact that Crowley did not publish The Book of Lies for at least another year, or 1913. To explain this discrepancy it is generally believed that the book carries the wrong publishing date on the inside title page. This is an effortless way for historians to justify Crowley's story which he writes in his own Confessions. However, others might argue that a wrong date is highly unlikely, citing how methodically Crowley released all his books like magical sigils, not only making the size and shape, as well as the type of binding important but also by making every publication date astrologically perfect. A wrong date is something Crowley would never, never have missed in proofing. I tend to agree. It has been suggested that Crowley created this story regarding The Book of Lies merely as a blind to conceal the real book, published in 1912, which actually offended Reuss. This is far more likely. To some this might seem shocking, that Crowley could actually mislead people in his Confessions, but it is no secret that there are many, dare I say, slightly fabricated stories in this book and this may simply be another classic example of creative story telling. In other words, it is assumed that Crowley included this 'blind' to steer off the uninitiated, although some are quick to point out that he also left a clue as to the real book by mentioning the year 1912. During this year he published about eight different books or pamphlets. According to Grady McMurtry the volume which contained the real secrets is number seven of The Equinox. The piece in question is Liber Stellae Rubeae which Crowley himself claims is a "secret ritual, the Heart of IAO-OAI."  Those familiar with Ninth Degree will understand this Holy Trinity as well as the implications of the red elixir of the Ruby Star as the menstruum required to fulfill the 'transformation' of an astral being. As well as its relationship to Abrahadabra & HAD (IAO). However it is not the point of this story to discuss or debate which book contained the OTO secrets as much as pointing out the discrepancies in the original story of how Crowley got IXth Degree. Few individuals will understand Liber Stellae Rubeae anyway and even Crowley wrote, "No man shall understand this writing - it is too subtle for the sons of men." However, I might add, Crowley does not say that women shall not understand this writing. Regardless of these historical discrepancies a true magician will quickly realize that both books, in fact, contain the secrets of Ninth Degree. One written before knowing the Ninth Degree secrets and the other after.

5:45am For the history buffs: Swami Vivekananda, Hindu mystic, major exponent of Vedanta philosophy, was born on this date in Calcutta in 1863. His birth name was Narendra Nath Datta. He was a student of Ramakrishna. Aleister Crowley, liked Vivekananda’s writings but stated that his book titled Raja Yoga “is very good indeed, if you remember to switch off when he slides into sloppiness.” He wrote classic works on Jnana, Raja, Karma and Bhakti yoga. He died in bed on July 4, 1902 at the age of 39. …… also, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was born on this date in the village of Chichli, India in 1917. He was the founder of the Transcendental Meditation movement, or TM. Many skeptics believe his vedic flying to be little more than “bouncing” around the floor “like an idiot.” Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was briefly a mentor to The Beatles. ….. and keeping with the theme, George Joseph Kresge Jr., more commonly known as ‘The Amazing Kreskin’, was born on this date in Montclair, New Jersey in 1935. With a showman’s flair and comedian’s wit, he built up a show business career on his apparent ability to read people’s thoughts. His weekly TV show titled The Amazing World of Kreskin was a syndicated hit from 1971 to 1975 with Kreskin ‘amazing’ his studio audiences by guessing people’s birthdays or deciphering the pips on hidden playing cards. While always vague about the exact nature of his skills, he denied being a psychic or mind-reader and preferred to call himself a bona fide mentalist. ……. And finally, according to Arthur C. Clark’s book 2001: A Space Odyssey, this [January 12th] was the birthdate of ‘HAL 9000’ in Urbana, Illinois. Oddly, the movie version of the book changed the date to March 12th.

Friday January 11th 2008 – 7:30pm And I received this gem - "Captain Cornelius 93! Good Gawd Salty Dawg! I'm jest sittin' here laughing (having just read the latest on the Ship's Log) Love the new pix of you! Too funny......this ups the bar for the collage!!  R!  93 93/93 Panninggazz Doktoratrix ov Pirates!"

3:30pm Keith Richmond writes, "Hi Jerry, 93 Was reading your blog and thought - hey - I know just the song for Jerry's ship.  It's an old English classic, that was covered by the Sex Pistols - THE GOOD SHIP VENUS. 93 93/93 Keith." ....... Reply: Love it!

It was on the good ship Venus

By Christ ya should've seen us

The figure head was a whore

And the mast a rampant penis

2:50pm Miguel, thanks for sharing all the info about your penis, but ... I think it is more than I needed to know.  :/

2:00pm I don’t know when my penis became a topic and I am not going to address all the emails since most are asking the same or similar questions. Anyway, the original picture that I attached to Carol’s email was taken by the Japanese artist Shizuka [see December 18th 6:45am entry]. It’s not that of an erection or anything like that (sorry Mary) ... it’s an artistic close-up shot, taken from the side, of a hand simply holding a penis; no legs or upper torso, no face etc. So you really cannot tell if it’s really me. Personally, I think it came out rather nice and admittedly ‘cute’ could be seen as implying ‘attractive’, ‘delighful’, ‘nice’ or ‘I like it’ etc & etc all in a positive way and I admit, being a Cancer, I’m just a little ‘sensitive.’ Thanks for the support but no, I'm not posting the picture on the blog!

12:45pm Andy West from Sacramento wrote earlier in the week, “Had a great time at the New Years Babalon Party. It's always good to see you and your party's are generally a great balance of the absurd (Ben & Paul) and the sublime (the astrological wisdom on sex and the houses on the Tree).” … Answer: To this, I say, thanks! Where would one of my parties be without a little drunkenness and romance? Andy also asked, “Would you describe Lucifer in the sense of the Luciferian Gnosis and our Thelemic mythos?” … There is no Law beyond do what thou wilt so to answer all I can say, to each their own belief.  I personally tend to see Lucifer as the dynamic Serpent-savior in the Garden of Eden. … Andy also asked a few other question, which I’ll address later. I have to go and run some errands.

11:00an Carol sent an email, it had me chuckling. She writes, “I want to talk about penises and no more double standards. You wanted vagina pictures, let’s ask for guys to send us photos of their ‘cutlass supremes’ and Jer, I want a blog page showing the pics you get with no names please. We women will scientifically and astrologically analyze them and let you know what we think but will yours be added to the page Jer?” ….. Answer: I find the idea funny but for the record most men cannot talk about their little willy’s much less photograph them! [I sent her an attachment with my email] She sent back a second email. I opened it, dropped my head down as I read one word - "Cute."   [Note Jan10 1:30pm entry]

9:00am As most of you know I’ve been having a Hell of a time with my new FOR SALE catalog since my computer crashed in late December and now, after torturing myself all week, I have decided to simply release what I got and begin new. I lost massive [about 200) different computer scans, all my Word files listing what’s on each disks and lots of other stuff or files that I had open when the computer crashed and I simply cannot retrieve them or find them saved on other disks. They melted down. Anyway, I am officially posting my catalog ‘as is’ today and I'll be adding over two to three hundred items over the next few months.

8:45am An email from Luna. She writes, "J 93! OH MY!  I was wondering what happened to my pirate sprites!  R!  Seems that they have boarded Evelyn and Io.  Io ran in from the office a few days ago and told me that he was going to trade some of his old PlayStation games for two big cutlasses, just for me...to hang over my vanity mirror!  I suppose this new collage she suggests will have to

happen!  I will have to go find Uncle Al's "The Ship" painting/drawing (gotta just LOVE the wyrd kachina onboard in it) and see what I can do.  The USS ALICE is, as you know, one of my favorite subjects. KinderSprites HO!.... 93 93/93 Panninggazz aka )O( ."      

6:58am Evelyn writes in reply to yesterday's post, "Belated birthday wishes for your little boy.  ... I see the Pirate motif is not going away on the Blog! And did I ever suggest that you should be sporting a big girl's blouse, a silly hat and a parrot on your shoulder? No, along with the cutlass, I was envisioning you wearing an eye patch and a few more mysterious tattoos. Picture yourself as Captain of the "Jolly RogerER" with an all female crew. There will be opportunity to place a few phallic symbols into the scene as well (ship masts, a telescope, etc). I wonder whether your friend Luna would be inspired to do a further fun collage for us all?" ...... Answer: I like the idea and no, you never suggested that I sport a big girl's blouse, a silly hat and a parrot on my shoulder but I kinda liked the idea after writing it. :)-  ... Can the crew be giant naked vaginas with hands and feet? I have a cutlass in need of a scabbard! OK, I’ve reached an all-time low with this posting but admittedly I’m smiling about it! 

6:45am For the history buffs: William James was born on this date in New York in 1842. In 1864 he entered Harvard School of Medicine and, although graduating as an MD, he chose not to practice medicine. Instead he started teaching psychology at Harvard where he established the first American psychology laboratory. He advocated the use of drugs and it is a well known fact that he experimented with hashish, ate peyote and bathed in nitrous oxide, his drug of choice. He admits that this drug played a major role in how he ‘saw’ things in order to write. Commenting that inhaling the gas produced “a tremendously exciting sense of intense metaphysical illumination.” He wrote an excellent piece titled Subjective Effects of Nitrous Oxide (1882). In this he wrote, “Our normal, waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the flimsiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different.” He also published a twelve-hundred page work titled The Principles of Psychology (1890). William James died on August 26, 1910 of heart failure at his summer home in New Hampshire. ……. Also of importance, Aleister Crowley and his Scarlet Woman Leah Hirsig swore an oath on this date in 1920 in Paris to establish an Abbey of Thelema at Cefalu on the island of Sicily. …… and finally, Karl Germer, the Outer Head of the Order (O.H.O.) of the Ordo Templi Orientis writes to his British representative Noel Fitzgerald on this date in 1956 that the only person in England who has the Ninth Degree Paper entitled Emblems and Mode of Use is Gerald Yorke and he was ordered “not to show it to Grant”, meaning Kenneth Grant, whom Germer had expelled the previous summer.

Thursday January 10th 2008 – 10:00pm Dave writes another email. "Hey, to clarify and not go too far down any rat holes. I am not advocating less talk about female privates, I like them as much as the next man. I just wanted to point out the curiousness of the lack if self expression as it were. ;)  This metaphorical indirection is one of the things I have always found as a barrier to understanding. The works of A.C. that I have been exposed to are formulas couched in poetic abstraction. Given the time they were written this is undertsandable due to the censorship and laws of the times but in this day and age we should have diagrams and exercises." ...... Answer:  The censorship laws were one thing but most 'metaphors' were a way for an Initiate, like Crowley or myself, to talk about things we learned in fraternities without breaking Oaths. Furthermore, I can write out the sexual secrets in a point blank, straight forward, manner [as did Louis Culling] and still most people won’t get it or they’ll disagree that this is the ‘real’ secret.  It’s the human nature of pre-conceived ideas.

5:00pm Luna sent a great email earlier; she writes, "J 93! I was copying the link of your blog today for Domino, while there I did read Aisha's letter....she sounds wonderful...bubbly, impulsive and just plain fun... I have already done a rough (in my mind) ov a comic drawing of her standing at the shower curtain exclaiming with her hand held up to her her mouth, and the bubble reads "I seen IT, I seen IT!" I suppose, if I ever draw this on paper that the title for the cartoon will be "The IT that made the kitten roar!" R! 93s )O(."  .... I replied, "I am laughing - I want a copy! Do it!  Do it!  :)- " .... and she DID IT!  Click HERE for deatils!

4:45pmpm Dave from Florida writes, "93 Jerry, I have to finally weigh in on the issue of private parts. I have to say I would agree with Aisha on one thing. I can understand based on your interest in gender that its fun to talk about womens genentalia but I think the men should be equally forth coming to know they self. I believe that this is an important thing for me to be comfortable with to follow this path. Why are the men so quiet about showing their privates? Myself I admit I am self conscious because a static image of the object tells you not what it is capable of doing when commanded by the will, skill and desire of the being behind it. Its not just the tool but what you do with it. I've probably said too much. However if you were to show it.. in the male cause wouldnt you need more than one picture? One in the ground state and one in the excited state? To digress for a moment I have always found sexual differentiation to be a rather fascinating aspect of human biology. Its interesting that the female gender is the "default" sex and that further hormonal and developmental stimulus is required for the generation of a penis. I think that this area is a unigue aspect that needs further investigation. I applaud your efforts in understanding people through this method. It reminds me of Palm reading. However what could be more telling than a palm than your privates. By definition it should give you a better look at someones personality than the mere manual (hand). What is our sexual fingerprint?"  ….. Reply: ‘Sexual fingerprints’ and ‘Palm reading” – I know there should be a joke about hair in here somewhere but I’ll let IT rest.… Sadly, besides you Dave, not one, repeat, not one, woman sent an email bugging me about more ‘penis’ talks and less ‘vagina chitchat.’ Either not many women are reading the blog today, or no one cares to get involved in this topic. It’s funny, mentioning OTO magick, which is pure phallic magick, seems to really get people fired up to want to discuss this subject but men like to talk more ‘metaphysical’ than direct; talking about the ‘penis’ makes them very uncomfortable. It’s easier to discuss the ‘Red Blood’ of the Lion and metaphysical mountains than being straight forward about sex magick A to Z. 

1:30pm Aisha, still in Los Angeles, writes, "93 Jer. I agree with the moon lady. Your blog stuff about men and women is great! Phallic symbols, yes! Penises! I like that, talk more on penises! I seen yours, its cute but you probably like referring to it with mystical parables about a long hard road to the top rather than anything so direct! But female anatomy you get blunt and down to business, now ladies lets make Jer talk more about penises!” …. Reply: and she went on and on as only an inspired Scorpio can! For the record; so people don’t get the wrong impression; she stuck her nose in the bathroom one morning and yanked open the shower curtain to ask me a question while I was taking a shower. We’ve never fooled around, nor have I seen her naked!  And ‘cute’ ?  I would have appreciated another term because it’s difficult to write a metaphysical sex magick rambling on phallic symbolism regarding a Lion when someone is calling it ‘cute.’

12:45 pm. Luna sent a great email. She writes, "Jerry 93! R! If I haven't told you, I think that your blogging about the male/female stuff is terrific.  I don't know if you ever had a chance to visit John Wickett?  He died of old age a few years back.  He was an eccentric wonder!  Anyway, his Museum of Exotica was filled with treasures around the world. He must have had the largest collection of phallic symbols in the USA. There isn't much out there documenting him, but he was a gem. Your blogging on the male/female reminds me of John's spirit. John just didn't give way to the politically correct inclusive jargon. ... anyway....I really like to read how your words get people going. .... and It is good for people to have Hobbies! ... I've made a note in my research for art book here to draw a Psittacidae down the road. ... and MOST importantly...Congratulations on Faust's 12th birthday. I remember the day that my step-son Aaron turned 12. I googled my step-son yesterday, and found that he is teaching math at Sonoma State. ... he is an undergraduate, but he is busy busy busy in the math department, and there were some articles in there that he had written....Greek to me...esoteric mathmatic stuff. I have to tell you that time starts to fly by faster when they are this age....so, Poppa, you stay close close close to him....even closer than you have been....and Faust will not mind.   I don't think we let a week go by without checking in or seeing Aaron up to 3 times (we were the part-time parents) during these years, and it really made the difference....Aaron is teaching math.  Even though Aaron had to see his father crash and burn....it, apparantly made all the difference in the world that we kept in close constant contact. ... Have a great day with Faust! 93s )O(."  ..... Reply: Luna, you are a precious moon stone, a bringer of smiles!

10:00am Carol  writes and wants the picture of me in my 'red' t-shirt back up into the left corner of my blog. I find it so funny, I've got over a dozen emails commenting on that picture. Months back when I put the picture up of the penis with the phrase underneath - "My Word is Gold', no one commented. When I had the naked picture of Santa sitting on the toilet reading a Crowley book, again no one made any comments. Still, the picture of me without a shirt showing my Fifth Degree OTO tattoo did draw a few remarks but not many. All in all, most of my pictures are usually ignored ......... but the red t-shirt has people talking. I am perplexerd!  Why?

9:45am Sorry, I’ve got a lot of inquiries this morning and all I can say is don’t get me involved in other AA lineage’s problems. However, it does appear that a major split has occurred in Phyllis Seckler’s branch. David Shoemaker made it official yesterday that he has walked out of Jim Eshelman’s COT in southern California and formed his own branch of The College of Thelema calling it ‘The Northern California College of Thelema.’  He was reportedly given a document from Phyllis shortly before she died giving him the authority to do such in case of emergency. ???  I have not seen this document so I can not really say what it contains; it’s all hearsay at this point.  

8:15am Evelyn replied to my posting of yesterday:  “I read your latest entries today. Most amused. I'll reply to your other points later, but let me just say that I'll defend your right to call yourself a Gynoeroticist, regardless of any snickering and protests in the background! Think it rather suits you, actually. There must be a way we can comfortably blend the pirate imagery. You'll just have to put the Vaginal/Astrological research on the back-burner till you can build up a decent dossier. I'm trying to imagine you swinging from the rafters with a cutlass in your teeth, but this may not be entirely wise from a health and safety point of view. Maybe something to ponder for the future when you get the next all-clear from the heart specialist!” ….. Reply: Put my astro-scientific research of the female poontang on hold! What am I suppose to do in the mean time? Everyone needs a hobby! Anyway, I'd rather be putting the pirate thing on hold, after all, I’m not wearing any silly costumes or getting any stupid psittacidae! [For those who don’t know, a psittacidae is the scientific name of a true parrot. Never let it be said that regardless how low I wallow, that I don’t offer my readers some learning experience.]

5:15am But more important to me, personally, is the fact that today is my son Faustus’s BIRTHDAY. He turns 12! Next year he’s going to become a teenager!  If I don’t feed him maybe he won’t grow up so fast? [see photo above left.]

5:09am For the history buffs: only two things to report. First, the classic film title Metropolis by Fritz Lang premiered on this date in 1927. It was based on a book written by German author Thea von Horbou. The movie takes place in the future where humans are divided into two categories. There are the thinkers, who make plans but don’t know how anything actually works, and then there are the workers, who achieve goals but obviously don’t have any vision. Completely separated, neither group is really complete, but together they make a whole. The movie’s plot begins when one man from the ‘thinkers’ dares visit the underground where the workers toil, and he is astonished by what he sees. ….... and second, Francis King was born on this date in England in 1934. He joined the military at an early age and fought in the Korea War where he was captured, tortured and ‘brain washed.’ For years after the war he was a shattered man and according to his own accounts; able only to sell ice cream at a stand at Bournemouth Beach. After recovering, and many years later, he began writing and publishing over twenty books; such as Ritual Magic in England (1970), Sexuality, Magic and Perversion (1972), Techniques of High Magic (1976), The Magical World of Aleister Crowley (1978) and Tantra for Westerners (1986). He became so disgusted in later years with people constantly mistaking him for the novelist, also known as ‘Francis King’, that he added an ‘X’ to his name, which he claimed stood for Xavier and thus he became known as Francis X King. He died on November 8, 1994. Of course, his infamy came in occult circles when he edited and released the now classic thorn titled The Secret Rituals of the O.T.O. (1974) which contained all the secret initiation rituals and many of the upper degree sexual Grade Papers of the Ordo Templi Orientis

Wednesday January 9th 2008 – 8:00pm Derek from Lowell, MA writes, "Your blog is fantastic. A good friend recently pointed it out to me." .... You're very kind. Thanks! 

5:30pm The noted Crowley scholar, author and dear friend, Keith Richmond sent an email earlier today writing, "Just had a look at your blog. - great fun as usual."  .... Thanks! I'm having fun writing it!

5:20pm Tish sent me another email after getting off from work. She writes, “On January 4 you wrote about your sign – “Cancers are simply fascinated by the female vagina.” You of all people I would have thought knew that ‘vagina’ is a Latin word meaning 'sheath or scabbard.' Ha!” …… Reply: Ahoy, Matey and Ha! Back at ya. Shiver me timbers, I guess I am a cutlass swinging Sheath Junkie :)-

12:20am Regarding my 11:30 posting Tish (aka Soror T) writes in her usual condescending tone, “Oh please.” In fact, I can even hear her saying it right now. She then adds, “A Gynoeroticist? I think you were a reckless pirate swinging your cutlass around too much in one of your past lives and now you’re simply an obsessed ‘Sheath Junkie’!” ….. The rest of her email I won't repeat but I am perplexed by this one. My mind swims with great replies but I’m not sure where to go, or what to reply, or agree and say yes, no or what?  I’ve been married twice and have had my fair share of girlfriends which means I’ve been called many things but a ‘Sheath Junkie’ is a first.

11:30am Evelyn sent a really nice email this morning regarding our previous communication about ‘the vagina article, pictures thereof and my blog.’  She wrote, “Thanks for the amusing info below, though I think anything I would have to say would be well and truly eclipsed by some of the blog input and 'research photos' you have acquired. Seems you may have hit upon a new hobby - somewhere between that of amateur gynaecologist and pornographer (or eroticist if you prefer). In fact, I think I would be more terrified to reveal my astrological sign for fear of being decimated by your scary deductions!”  ….. Answer: Yes, my blog has been amusing of late. Sadly, no more photos have been coming in; I’ll have to look for a new hobby. Anyway, like most blogs, that subject came in one door with a furry and quickly mutated into other things. … I’d prefer the term ‘Gynoeroticist’ which I would define as the study of women from 'my' erotic point of view (big smile). … Personally, being a Cancer I find hardcore porn kinda boring but if nudity in picture, language and correspondence etc can be subtle and erotic it excites my dream world and then I’m gone. My mind is a terrible thing to waste and it’s dangerous for me to have a blog. … Please, please, please … what sign are you?  I promise not to lambaste you too bad. If you were here right now you’d see my head tilted slightly down, my puppy dog eyes and pout, as I slightly mumble, “Please.”   ..... finally, Evelyn asked, “… I would love to hear about the outcome of your recent Seance.” …. and I replied, "I always hated the term ‘séance’, it invokes too many negative images for me as a magician. Anyway, not much to report. California is being hit by massive rain storms, very windy and cold. It was pouring last night; the Gods were cruel and snickering; the girls couldn’t get their car started to driver here and the rest they say, is history. I sat home, quietly twiddling my thumbs and watching TV.  Perhaps I'll schedule it again during another New Moon but I was hoping for a Capricornian one; I’ll just have to re-think my plans."

8:25am I received an interesting email from Migman, a Scorpio. I replied, “Yes, I agree that not having a computer is a hassle and as you “Damn the thiefs to hell”, I have no one but myself to blame for my plastic monster crashing; although I have no clue as to how or why it happened but being without a computer for five days drove me up the wall.” ... He then writes: “Been keeping up with the blog as best I can. Scorpio's...Hmpf. I often expose myself actually. :-) .”  …. And I replied, “Yes, that what makes Scorpio so much fun! It’s the only Zodiac sign which stings itself then refers to the wound as something ‘exposed.’ Yes, you guys do more damage to yourself than any other sign could possibly do. That is why I love Scorpios. You guys make me smile.” …. Finally, Migman writes, “I've been meaning to ask you to give is your take on Theurgy vs. Thaummaturgy. When the uninitiated think of Magick its often in thaummaturgic terms. The stage magician, I hypothesize, is the watered down aspect of magic that occured over centuries through brothers simply trying to make a buck. Crowely touched upon the thaummaturgic in the nature a nuture of the magical link and in that brief little paper he wrote on it, as I'm sure you know. Just ruminating a chain of thought I'd like to hear your thought on..”  ….. Answer: It’s actually quite simple. Most Thelemic magicians will tell you that Crowley refers to theurgy as being High Magick and thaumaturgy as Low Magick. This is because theurgy, although working magickal invocations of everything from elementals to Gods, often has, as its goal, the uniting with the Above into order to perfect the Below; i.e. in yourself.  Thaumaturgy on the other hand, is not necessarily ‘stage magician’ stuff as much as those actions which ‘seemingly’ appear as miracles; often the work of saints, or of religious and pious individuals and miracle workers which affect ‘others’ in a spiritual fashion. To a magician, of course Thaumaturgy is Low Magick; the slaves shall serve.

6:15am My dear friend David Miles writes, after seeing the new picture of me wearing a 'red t-shirt' in the upper left hand corner of this blog. "Jerry, I never saw you in any other color other than black. You look good." ... I replied, "It's a colorized picture. I never 'actually' wear anything other than black. I'm having fun with my Adobe program!" 

6:00am Jonathan from Sacramento sent an email yesterday. He begins by writing, “Another Jerri up here in sacramento and Robert Flores turned me on to your blog, I've enjoyed reading it and the epistles in your contents section. One thing, when reading your section on Aquarius's (which I am tropically) While certain things I can relate to (ability to separate emotions from sex, promisciuity) other things I had a hard time relating to (inattentive lover, removed from sex, etc). Perhaps its my own ego's perceptions, or could it be that other things in my chart change up the natural tendency of the sun sign? My moon is in pisces (as is my venus) and my mars is in capricorn if that helps.”   ….. Answer: Glad you’ve enjoyed my ramblings. All the sexual scenarios that I’ve mentioned in my blog are simple overviews or generalizations of each sign. To get an accurate reading you must look at the overall astrological chart of each individual. Consider it like reading a book on just ‘Sun Signs.’ Yes, quite a bit of what is written about your sign may seem accurate. However, it reads too generic. Where are the quirks? A full astrological chart is needed. One showing all the planets, which houses they fall in and the aspects between them will give you a better understanding of what makes you different than other people born under the same sign as yourself.  The same goes for these blurbs about each sign’s sexuality. They are merely sign posts to follow down a road toward self discovery. Anyway, yes, an ‘inattentive love’ quality in your case may be negated by the very planets you mentioned being in certain signs but equally important is which House they all fall; Sun, Venus and Moon being the First House with no serious oppositions. You should research this if you're looking for answers.  … Jonathan adds a few other personal comments and ends his email, “I really like a lot of your thoughts and ideas regarding Thelema and the magickal path. I would love to talk to you more in the future.”  … Thanks, correspondence is always welcomed as long as you realize that I have a heavy work load and I don’t always get to reply as quickly as some people might like. Patience is a virtue.

5:45am For the history buffs: and in honor of it being 'Humpday', let me point out that the bubonic plague, also known as the Black Death, killed a fourth of the European population in just three years time. In Basel, Switzerland, not understanding that humans got the plague when bitten by fleas and then spread it by coughing, the townspeople came up with the ludicrous belief that the disease was caused by the Jews. In retaliation for causing the ‘plague’ six hundred Jews were forced into a huge wooden house on this date in 1349 which was then set on fire. They all burnt to death. One hundred and forty children were also taken from their parents and forcibley baptized which officially ended the Jewish presence in the town, but not the bubonic plague. ……. Also, Jimmy Patrick Page was born on this date in London, England in 1944. In late 1968 he, along with Robert Plant, John Bonham and John Paul Jones, formed the legendary rock band Led Zeppelin. Their 1969 debut album was a unique blend of heavy rock and the blues, while their second album soared to the top of the charts with such hits like Whole Lotta Love. Throughout the 1970s Led Zeppelin was considered one of rock’s most successful acts. Jimmy Page was becoming a ‘guitar god’ famous for his strange obsessions with the occult as much as for his heavy riffs. In fact, he even bought Aleister Crowley’s mansion called Boleskine over looking the shores of Loch Ness in Scotland. There are those who said Page was convinced that Crowley’s ghost haunted the mansion, and that Page frequently tried to contact it through séances and spiritual readings. Then disaster struck; the band’s drummer Bonham died in 1980 and soon thereafter Led Zeppelin disbanded. Some blame these tragedies, and many others, on something Jimmy Page unwittingly unleashed while dabbling in the occult.
