#2176 Wed, 02 Jan 2002 19:31:58 New Years Reviews From: “ismoked” Wylies Trance Mission Best deal in town. The cavalry came: Marco from SUN Project and Frank E from Koxbox came and DJed at the trance mission after thanks to good old Kamal, who had been playing in a jail cell in the basement of the bank at Tsunami! Wylie’s new place is rocking, very comfortable, big and above all completely decked out in cool psy-artistry. It easily outdoes the old penthouse, and even has a beautiful roof. Don’t miss the next one. (and if yer not on safetydance, you won’t get the addy; wylie ran out of goodwill towards nontrancers and strangers and no longer promotes at techno parties after the graffiti and garen’s camera stealing incident) Tsunami Despite the heavy drama at the door (my companion wasn’t exactly kissing ass), and the weird security measures (no backpacks on the dance floor), Tsunami looked like it was a good party and the sound was good. I missed both acts because it just wasn’t as comfortable as Wylie’s. But it worked out because they came later and we all got to hang out. Also, just in.. From: “goakat” dinkydun at hotmail Tue Jan 1, 2002 9:37am Happy New YEar Everyone Hey everyone Justa quick note to wish you all avery happy and peaceful New YEar.

Slan agus Beannacht Kate P.S. Went to see Orbital though, and they were most wonderful my how I missed the Irish fungi also!!!

#2178 Sun, 06 Jan 2002 20:47:52 The Emperor has no…. clothes? From: “ismoked” So the Emperor stands before us, naked and jaded. Grappling at gadgets that have been subsequently demechanicized, ruffaging the ground for lost batteries in a blur of white powder induced longing. Seek what you will with blinking eyes, pulsating to geometric patterns of kinetic brain synapses….. Look into the technological guru’s eyes, seeing a glimpse of the other side of what you call your isolated illusion!!!! Break free of the jabbernauted crust in your under slept and over danced eyes, gaze into the lcd screen of your favorite sony, searching for the love of a cyber honey. LUST I SAY LUST for what is it all for if not to trance your self into a cult of half peeped gizmos and whirling orgasmatrons!!!! The Lord of the trance calls upon each of us at our appointed time, to shackle off these chains of reason and mundanity, SEEK YOUR UNIQUENESS it cries, NOVELTY IS ALL for conformity and homogenisis is death in itself, the stagnant and uncreative shall fall to loins of the past, steeping itself in the roadside of mass culturization. Thanks to Koan of Deeper in Zen

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

June 21 Summer Solstice In many cultures, the coming of Summer is the heralding of a time for love, marriage, friendship, beauty, protection, courage, magical energy, physical energy, and strength. It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow. Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now and legend tells that a nakedmtskip through a garden on Litha night ensures fertility for the coming season. The peaceful blue color of the Lapis stone can be worn to foster physical fertility as well as psychic awareness. Below are some suggestions I have to make your Summer Solstice Rituals complete as well as enlightening…I’ve even included some of my favorite meditations and incantations. Enjoy, and Blessed Be!

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter. Dec 10 – Tues – d Sagittarian Birthday Celebration November 22-December 21 Centaur hunters.hmm? already open. You started without me? Fair distribution is a bitch. (oh, im just kidding, sorry ma’am) (whathefuck? – do I have rocks in my underwear? where did this baby-powder ome from? what’s that smell? rotting eggs? no, I think you look great. …oh, Mercer St. is that way 🙂 pardon, was I leaking? -okay now just the guys: “Sooooooow?” Too much galactose in your diet, cut back on the salt every moon my dear. If you doubt, but your perception is obscured, you gotta fight, for your right, to paaaaaarrtay! Don’t forget what you are not supposed to forget. Running hatred through your filter is hazardous, be sure to rinse & repeat (although i recomend sympathizing instead). freedom creeps up on you. The future so briight, I gotta wear shades. A quick whirs through your field of vision. Destiny is a roaring lion, if you pull the thorn out from his paw, he will be kind to you. I’m not all there right now. (words- dividing…) The absense is causing me to bother you. It’s not my fault..? How was I to know? How? Was. Eye? Two. No. . . . Letting time seep in like a lullaby, remembering how to remember: The serpent has a secret. The apple is called Delicious. Zero is discovering. One is atracting. Two is facing. Three is activating. Four is knowing. Five is understanding. Six is helping. Seven is participating. Eight is harmonizing. Nine is manifesting. Ten is completing. Eleven is releasing. Twelve is synchronizing. Thirteen is accepting. fourteen is embracing. . . . . … O weary Karmachanics! May you find that which are seeking, hear (here), hidden, amidst the rainforests of discoveries, and the program codes that reveal themselves humbly. Sci-Fi techno-hieroglyphs are sprouting from their nourished seeds. The reality-sysytems they ‘will’ become is not far. We are helping. The unborn unbored life is dreaming us and beckoning us back to itself. Be not afraid! there is a time for work. there is a time for rest. there is a time for pain. there is a time for joy. there is a time for exploration. there is a time for celebration. -v^v^v^v^v^V^V^WWVVV

#2183 Mon, 7 Jan 2002 15:25:46 Mon, 7 Jan 2002 15:25:45 Why Omnitribe? Their location at west 26th is one of the nicest. For those with long memories it’s similar to the Metropolitan Pavilion. And enough time has passed since their geiger Room sound snafu that they can yet again be acknowledged as having the best sound for a midsize event, second only to Gavin’s Mackey armada at the Spectra parties. It’s in the basement of a fencing school owned by a really great guy named Leroy. Put it on your calendars to come check it out if you’ve never been there. The water is free, the vibe is intimate, and the price is very reasonable.

Everyone else has two-for-one drinks. Lesbians, midgets, and goats – how can you go wrong? Some are even dressing as Lord of the Rings extras. Orcs, I guess. The place is rocking anyways. Party hearty Tuesday nights. This is all from Wylie. It makes Hogs and heifers look like a tea party. More on Capricorns: Stern Capricorn and you astrology.msn/Horoscopes/article/capricorn.asp From December 21st thru January 20th, the Sun will be in Capricorn, the tenth sign of the Zodiac. The Goat, a metaphor for slowly plotting and planning a rags-to-riches existence, focuses us on our personal goals with regard to achievement, status and long-term projects. Capricorns certainly have their sunny side: they’re loyal friends; generous gift-givers; fashion mavens; stellar overachievers. They always seem to manage that tricky balance between faith and science. Goats have their shadow side too. They can be slaves to fashion; thin-skinned and confrontational (they can dish it out, but can they take it?); paranoid corporate climbers; bean-counting business school clones who miss out on the joys of life. What’s more, Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn, the solar system’s sternest source of karma. So never mess with a Goat on the way up you might meet this person again on the way down! (Note- venue change – not at Karma but uptown with better sound – we are aligning forces with lesbian go go dancers and midgets, read on) This Tuesday, Jan. 8th…..

June 21 Summer Solstice In many cultures, the coming of Summer is the heralding of a time for love, marriage, friendship, beauty, protection, courage, magical energy, physical energy, and strength. It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow. Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now and legend tells that a nakedmtskip through a garden on Litha night ensures fertility for the coming season. The peaceful blue color of the Lapis stone can be worn to foster physical fertility as well as psychic awareness.

Possible location: Somewhere ‘downscale.’ Nov 12 – Tues – d Scorpion Birthday Celebration October 23-November 21 Smoke scorpion venom 🙂 Junkies and Get High in the Pits” QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) – When they’re in season, Ghulam Raza smokes scorpions. He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

September 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Harvest/Corn/Barley Moon) Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Oct 8 – Tues – d Libral Birthday Celebration September 23-October 22 Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind.

September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind. Machinelf is free.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

WHAT WERE *YOU* ON LEV?] in there . What do you think? i heard rumors that the lunitarium is being shut down….do you have any idea whats happening? -Lev who, that’s fucked up – last weekend was busted at 4am i heard because their liquor license was two weeks past due or somthing. Cops really don’t have nothing better to do. Argue with an idiot and he will bring you down to his level, and he will win because he has a lot of practice. LONG LIVE OUTLAW PARTIES!!the story i got was that there arent enuf fire exits in the building and its hazardous so theres really no way to get around it. I mean, there were like 3000 ppl [3000?

#2192 Tue, 15 Jan 2002 17:21:19 Tue, 15 Jan 2002 17:21:18 More on Lunartarium – Good Reading from AliciaBeastieGirlQuadPrincess (Ed. note – was one of the best parties i’ve been to in a while) JEFF!!! you didn’t know!!! come on.. OMG.. dude, come on.. you didn’t hear?? I bet you didn’t know about the undercover cops that were there too, huh? check it, this is truthful and as honest as I can get. now, as you know, I worked at the party as a stewardess (have photo proof, plus, well, you saw me), and I had alot of fucked up shit happen during my time at the party and I even spoke with my party “supervisor” the afternoon after to hear what was the deal, so know that everything I state, is true and I dont’ care if you post my name up with what I say.. it’s the damn truth!! Here’s the dealy.. cut and paste with what I sent to my friends about it the day afterwards.. If you didn’t hear, let me be the first to let you know.. If you know anyone at BlackKat or an organizer for the Run DMC event, I think you should inform them to call up whomever needs to be calling ASAP to get what is the deal for the future of their events.. Lunatarium.. RIP!!! Friday night was crazy, bottom line.. Party started off really great, I will admit.. I was the flight attendant at the Red Roof Inn (aka the Chill tent) most of the night, accepting sob stories or bribes from flight passengers to get a reservation, if anyone from this list was there and didn’t recognize me in my costume and wig.. anyways, at first, it was I guess normal… I mean, minus the crazed guy who got pissed that I didn’t allow him to smoke his dippy in the tent and the 1.5 hour wait others had to endure to get into the party because the freight elevator was acting up, everyone had a great time.. I mean, the deco at the place was beyond great, everyone that participated in working there as flight attendants or ground crew was working and looking great and everyone that came around to my part of the party enjoyed my bitchy speel at being selective on who got into the tent and reaped the benefits of having an Alicia-controlled enviroment. Then, things started going wacked.. at 1:30am, I guess, I was approached by an individual that there was a fire on the 6th(?) floor and we had to evacuate the building.. So, I turned to my chill room occupants, told them to leave, and they were like, whutever.. So we all ended up chilling in the tent smoking because no one else at the party seemed to be leaving and we all thought it was a joke.. Then a few minutes later, I saw FDNY guys walking around the party.. So I had to get back to my speel and try to keep things chill and the FDNY away from my tent (smell what I’m cooking here???) .. then, a few minutes later, after the 4 firetrucks and company left, the party kept on.. then a few minutes later, an undercover cop came up to me and started asking me about the Red Roof Inn and trying to get in, so I ended up getting back into character and became Glenda, the bitchy reservationist and he got a bit pissed that I didn’t let him in.. Was told later on that I bitched out a NYPD officer, so I had to give a minor prop to myself for doing that.. heh heh.. Then, after word dropped that undercovers were at the party, things got really f’ed up.. Lunatarium, to their horror, didn’t seem to have legal permits to sell alcohol (WHAT???), hence selling to underage people (WHAT???), no cabaret license (WHATT???) and with the undercovers seeing what they saw (people doing and selling K and other crazed stuff), even with the lunatarium security being around, they ended up cracking heads and shut the party down at 3:45am.. Based on what I heard directly from the co-party thrower on Saturday afternoon, after she got back from getting some props and deco from the place, Lunatarium probably will not be able to throw anymore parties in the near future. So, I don’t know.. Overall, if anyone drops any words about oh, the Lunatarium got shut down because of the organizers at the party, know this.. Lunatarium screwed themselves over, not Madagascar, not Shel, not no one who took part in that party as far as organizing and working.. I mean, Lunatarium had their own staff screw the venue over.. How hard is it to check an ID before serving alcohol or somthing? how hard is it to get proper papers to keep your shit going? You know.. Plus now people are talking about them not being able to pay their rent.. welps, tough shit, huh? But anyways, if you are looking for somthing to do on Saturday night, if Lunatarium can’t legally be open for parties anymore, you can always come to my and $mall Change’s b-day party at *cough cough*..

September 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Harvest/Corn/Barley Moon) Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Oct 8 – Tues – d Libral Birthday Celebration September 23-October 22 Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow. Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now.

September 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Harvest/Corn/Barley Moon) Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Oct 8 – Tues – d Libral Birthday Celebration September 23-October 22 Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow. Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now.

SUMMER June 21 9:24am Summer Solstice In many cultures, the coming of Summer is the heralding of a time for love, marriage, friendship, beauty, protection, courage, magical energy, physical energy, and strength. It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow. Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now.

September 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Harvest/Corn/Barley Moon) Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Oct 8 – Tues – d Libral Birthday Celebration September 23-October 22 Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

September 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Harvest/Corn/Barley Moon) Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Oct 8 – Tues – d Libral Birthday Celebration September 23-October 22 Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

I’m quoted in an article i n today’s New York Times about the upcoming protests against the World Econ omic Forum (WEF). I’m involved in Students for Global Justice, a new natio nal collective that is organizing a Counter Summit Against the WEF, and Nat ional Activist and Student Mobilization at Columbia University from 1/31 to 2/3. Please see our website, web studentsforglobaljustice.org Jan uary 25, 2002 Hoping for Calm, Preparing for Strife at Economic Talks http ://web nytimes/2002/01/25/nyregion/25SECU By AL BAKER Even many of the veterans of wild protest melees at Seattle and Genoa say there would be somthing unseemly about violent protests in New York, still healing fr om the wounds of Sept. 11, when the World Economic Forum starts meeting nex t week. Despite efforts to keep demonstrations under control, both the pol ice and demonstrators say there is no way to be certain what will happen if as expected, thousands of demonstrators arrive in New York to protest the policies of the world’s industrial leaders. Although most of the opponents of global capitalism say they are committed to nonviolent protest, others are planning to turn out in helmets and riot gear and some are expecting th at some property damage could be a part of the street activities. About 3, 000 leaders of corporations and governments as well as academic, religious and cultural figures will be at the meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria in Midto wn Manhattan from Thursday to Feb. 4, discussing topics as varied as econom ic growth, foreign policy, the role of the chief corporate executive and wh at gastronomy can reveal about foreign cultures. The meeting, moved to New York from its longtime home in Davos, Switzerland, after the terrorist att acks on Sept. 11, has historically given corporation executives a chance to sit down with government officials behind closed doors for the price of a very expensive ticket. The protesters, who include mainstream student an d union groups and more radical elements, plan street demonstrations focusi ng on such issues as declaring war on poverty, racism and mass layoffs, wor kers’ rights and ways to reduce world debt. Students interviewed in New Yo rk insisted that they were not planning to confront the police directly or to crash through barricades. Instead, they said, they will use less radical tactics than those used in Genoa, Italy, last summer, when one protester w as killed during an economic summit meeting. Some also said they thought i t was more important to demonstrate opposition to economic globalization th an to ensure that public activities are subdued as a sign of respect for th e losses of Sept. 11. “If the movement can orchestrate a significant show of force in New York City right now,” one student said, “we can show the wo rld that we can do it anywhere, anytime.” As Larry Holmes, a spokesman for the International Action Center, one of the groups expected, said yesterda y, “We’re back after 9/11, more sure of our cause.” Many protest organizer s feel that the World Economic Forum, more than the World Trade Organizatio n or the economic meeting of industrialized nations called the Group of Eig ht, is a more appropriate target for protests against global capitalism bec ause it consists largely of corporate representatives and is not, at its co re, a meeting of governments. The protesters’ groups, formed out of the la bor, student and environmental movements, have names like the Workers Democ racy Network, War Is Not the Answer Coalition and the First Quarter Storm M ovement. Protesters say the nature of the demonstrations will be shaped by the nature of the police response. “A current concern that we are facing now, as we prepare to voice our concerns in the streets, is that we are not sure what type of police- enforced climate we are walking into,” said Yvon ne Liu, a Columbia University junior from Bayside, Queens, who is among the organizers of Students for Global Justice, a group formed in mid-December. The police are also keenly aware of the public relations implications of the event. “Hopefully, we will not have to arrest anybody,” said the new po lice commissioner, Raymond W. Kelly. “We recognize everyone’s right to demo nstrate peacefully, and we are going to do everything we can to see that th at happens.” The World Economic Forum’s usual meeting place, in Davos, doe s not attract the kind of attention that it is expected to draw in New York . This year, said the organization’s spokesman, Charles D. McLean, in his h eadquarters in Geneva, reporters’ requests for access to this meeting excee ded all others in the group’s 32 years. “Last year we accredited 500 journ alists,” Mr. McLean said. “This year we’ve had thousands of requests, and w e can still only accommodate a fraction of those who want to attend. It’s g oing to be shoulder to shoulder.” Because of that, and because of the afte rmath of Sept. 11, many protesters said they did not expect unrest other th an textbook forms of civil disobedience. They added that only a very slim minority of people, perhaps 200 in a group of several thousand, would ever condone property damage. “Basically, the general feeling among most people is that this is not the moment for that,” said David R. Graeber, an assist ant professor of anthropology at Yale University, who is a member of the Ne w York Direct Action Network and Another World Is Possible, an umbrella org anization for many groups. “A lot of people have said they think that woul d be terribly inappropriate because it would be insensitive and disrespectf ul to people in the city and to protesters who come from the city,” Dr. Gra eber said. He said past experience showed that any window-breakers in the crowd would not attack independent owner-operators. “Never a cafe of a smal l businessman,” he said, adding that he has never damaged any property. He added that the past also showed that violence was more likely to be directe d at large coporations: “Citibank? Sure. Starbucks? Sure. But never anyone who is actually going to be hurt by that.” People in law enforcement who h ave seen globalization protests said the demonstrators were organized and i n some cases used diversions to enable them to cause disruptions or mar pro perty elsewhere. The protesters, though, blame law enforcement for scuffles . In New York, some of the demonstrators will use props to create a sort o f street theater “for a festive kind of atmosphere that will get across the kind of world we like to see” instead of the world that the economic forum “and the groups that it is influential with are trying to create,” said Er ic Laursen, a member of Another World Is Possible. Dr. Graeber said the pr otesters would use such props as giant cardboard depictions of corn (as a r epresentation of life to many of New York City’s Hispanic immigrants) or to p hats and champagne glasses (as a representation of affluent excess).Yvonne [ Students for Global Justice, Columbia University ] + yl90 at co lumbia + web studentsforglobaljustice.org + vox: 646 321 5710 D o you know why people like me are shy about being capitalist?

He was suspiciously quiet, but I could see wheels going on behind his eyes. Must be willing to share sleep quarters with others. The biggest thing you have to concern yourself with is to get a ride. It’s a two hour drive from the city. Ski lifts are 10 minutes away. Few end up skiing. Bring blankets, video games, VHS, CDs, stuff to do – and food.

Dino Psaras did his usual hard early set and finished the morning with a groovier one. A fellow Greek in the crowd had seen me and lisa at a party several weeks ago, then went to athens. While there she was with her roomate and went to a random friend’s house, an elderly Greek painter, where they were looking through pictures and saw a picture of… LISA. Astral was great, i’m not a big fan but their new stuff was nice and hard and still melodic. Although Yahel was playing to Israelis in Brooklyn (double booking – yuck!) many still showed their strength. The crowd was heavily young and American. Tsunam- heard a crazy rumour. They will have a weekly soon with Twilo’s Phazon sound system… for those of you outside NYC, it’s said to be the best in the world. and the Manhattan location will boggle your mind. If the sound and environment is architected, it will blow away the ’96 – ’98 Tsunami reign at Vinyl. For me, it makes me feel that REAL trance will FINALLY have a chance to do its best on that system.Astral was great, i’m not a big fan but their new stuff was nice and hard and still melodic.

September 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Harvest/Corn/Barley Moon) Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Oct 8 – Tues – d Libral Birthday Celebration September 23-October 22 Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

September 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Harvest/Corn/Barley Moon) Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Oct 8 – Tues – d Libral Birthday Celebration September 23-October 22 Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind.

Sacrificial virgins. September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind. Machinelf is free.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

June 21 9:24am Summer Solstice In many cultures, the coming of Summer is the heralding of a time for love, marriage, friendship, beauty, protection, courage, magical energy, physical energy, and strength. It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow. Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now.

Sacrificial virgins. Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind. Machinelf is free. Possible location: Somewhere ‘downscale.’ Oct 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Hunter’s/Travel/Dying Grass Moon) Oct 31 Halloween Nov 1 – Samhain – Winter’s Start Nov 12 – Tues – d Scorpion Birthday Celebration October 23-November 21 Smoke scorpion venom 🙂 Junkies and Get High in the Pits” QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) – When they’re in season, Ghulam Raza smokes scorpions. He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

June 21 9:24am Summer Solstice In many cultures, the coming of Summer is the heralding of a time for love, marriage, friendship, beauty, protection, courage, magical energy, physical energy, and strength. It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow. Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now.

Sacrificial virgins. Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind. Machinelf is free.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

#2233 Mon, 4 Feb 2002 13:30:01 Mon, 4 Feb 2002 13:30:00 Omnitribe/dski Review Cc: dski Omnitribe was comfortable and vibesy as usual… everyone seemed to show. Thanks to Vitalik, Dima, and the Omnitribers for putting on another good party. the amp or speakers got blown early in the evening but I didn’t notice. I think they were on warranty so that’s cool. But it did thin the crowd out midway through the evening. Sweden’s Peter Didjital was great, I hear he lives in Brooklyn. A bunch of Israelis were tripping for the first time and thought the music was in their heads. Rocky of Atomic Trance was not actually doing video, it was alphatrance’s Misha with the dancing russian bear – that really freaked me out! Kelly was literally rolling on the floor. The dski was fun. I just got back this morning. There wasn’t any snow around the house, but the house is out in the woods and the weather was crystal clear. It was fun to hibernate in the jacuzzi then run around out in the cold, steaming. The challenge as always is to get transport out there. With only 20 people there it wasn’t a big party but everyone brought plenty to share and had plenty of space, including Me, Kamal, Cheryl, some Israeli girl, Chachi, Mayoora, Mike, Shannon, Paul, Rebecca, Yacc, Stefan, and Oren. We may do this again after Ben’s Friday party in case the GMS Lunartarium thing doesn’t go down; if not that, then the following weekend looks clear. I’m hoping to get enough interest to rent a house year round, a safe house, if you will, and place where we can always go if we are homeless or just need to get out in the woods.

Lu hasn’t been a go since Airport, minus the Run DMC event and with that… the boys that was organizing that wasn’t letting the Lunatarium crew or the city cancel their party for nothing! They did all the ground work and cover with that (along with have tons of $$$ to help them), so that was the only reason why they were allowed to get away with it.

#2238 Tue, 5 Feb 2002 11:04:24 Tue, 5 Feb 2002 11:04:24 WEF/F2 Review [Oh my God what a bunch of assholes the NYPD were.. read on – M.e.] Dear friends, Thank you everyone for the wonderful F2 Festival on Saturday at the Frying Pan. We had a beautiful resistance, expressed through music, words and solidarity of volunteer crew and partygoers to subvert the cops that patrolled the parking lot with their six paddy wagons. Sincere and deep gratitude for the performers, artists and speakers for sharing their gifts and talents. For pouring their love, energy and vibe in creating that space on Saturday night. For letting voices on the streets be heard. For opening a moment where old hippies can sway besides ravers popping. Thank you, thank you, thank you all for creating another world made possible by the hard work and efforts of all of you. We had a few hours of joy before the pain of Sunday afternoon. 130 people were arrested on Sunday afternoon in the East Village, with violence from the police. A friend was knocked off his bike. Another was handcuffed, and the police held up his face to pepper spray directly into his face. A young person had his skull cracked. A girl of 14 was arrested, and held for 10 hours. Handcuffs were pulled so tightly on one woman’s hands that her hands turned black due to lack of circulation. In the prison, the police were insensitive and brutal. People were separated into small groups, taken into individual rooms and interrogated about their political party affiliations. Gays were bashed, immigrants had racist epithets thrown at them, a transsexual was referred to as “it.” Women were sexually harassed, and legal advice was held from them. Medications were not given to the arrested. And, vegans were given cereal and milk – expired milk – many were sick due to food poisoning. Many questions arise from the arrests and subsequent treatment of those arrested. Those arrested were charged with minor infractions that don’t qualify for detentions over 12 hours. Most were kept handcuffed for over 10 hours, in the police bus, with no access to restrooms. People were arrested for standing on the street, standing on the sidewalk, walking to the subway, walking, standing… breathing. The arrests were illegal. The violence on behalf on the police was uncalled for. And, the treatment of the arrestees will not be tolerated. The NYC Peoples Law Collective (one of the beneficiaries of the F2 festival, an anarchist law collective) is working with the National Lawyers Guild and high profile legal rockstars like Norman Siegel and Ron Kuby to file civil suits against the city. NYU students will be working with Columbia Univ. students to protest the complicity of the NYU administration with the NYPD. We know for a fact that (1) NYU closed their dorms to outside guests this weekend; (2) NYU allowed the NYPD into their buildings, access to their roofs to swoop down on protestors in the East Village on Sunday; and (3) NYU did nothing to prevent the arrests of NYU students simply standing in front of their dorms and watching the protests. One student banged on pots from her window in solidarity with the protestors. From the ground, people saw a guard enter her room to stop her. The student pasted a sign on her window: “NYU has silenced me.” Just a few remaining questions about the F2 Festival: (1) We didn’t pay Lego or Oscar Owens for sound engineer help or equipment. How do we get a hold of them (can you pass this message on to them), and how much do we owe? (2) Were there performers that didn’t get cab fare home paid for? Please let me know. (3) Estimated proceeds from the F2 festival are: $4000. All of that should be available for bail initially, when the money is returned the first largest chunk should go to NYC Peoples Law Collective (web tao.ca/nycplc/), the second to NYC Indymedia (nyc.indymedia.org) and the third to local community garden groups like More Gardens!, Earth Celebrations, Reclaim the Streets, etc. Also, tonight, healing space was made available at the Walkerspace at 56 Walker Street, led by Starhawk, web starhawk.org. On Wednesday, there will be a debriefing session at the Reclaim the Streets office space. I hope that you can all make it….(please see info below). In Solidarity, Yvonne – Forwarded message from “M.

Well, it’s because for as long as we have known you, we were capital, like bales of cotton and sacks of sugar, and you were the commanding, cruel capitalist, and the memory of this is so strong, the experience so recent, that we can’t quite bring ourselves to embrace this idea that you think so much of. As for what we were like before we met you, I no longer care. No periods of time over which my ancestors held sway, no documentation of complex civilizations, is any comfort to me. Even if I really came from people who were living like monkeys in trees, it was better to be that than what happened to me, what I became after I met you.” Jamaica Kincaid “A Small Place” Farrar, Straus & GirouxDear friends, Thank you everyone for the wonderful F2 Festival on Saturday at the Frying Pan.

Many questions arise from the arrests and subsequent treatment of those arrested. Those arrested were charged with minor infractions that don’t qualify for detentions over 12 hours. Most were kept handcuffed for over 10 hours, in the police bus, with no access to restrooms. People were arrested for standing on the street, standing on the sidewalk, walking to the subway, walking, standing… breathing. The arrests were illegal. The violence on behalf on the police was uncalled for. And, the treatment of the arrestees will not be tolerated. The NYC Peoples Law Collective (one of the beneficiaries of the F2 festival, an anarchist law collective) is working with the National Lawyers Guild and high profile legal rockstars like Norman Siegel and Ron Kuby to file civil suits against the city. NYU students will be working with Columbia Univ. students to protest the complicity of the NYU administration with the NYPD. We know for a fact that (1) NYU closed their dorms to outside guests this weekend; (2) NYU allowed the NYPD into their buildings, access to their roofs to swoop down on protestors in the East Village on Sunday; and (3) NYU did nothing to prevent the arrests of NYU students simply standing in front of their dorms and watching the protests. One student banged on pots from her window in solidarity with the protestors. From the ground, people saw a guard enter her room to stop her. The student pasted a sign on her window: “NYU has silenced me.” Just a few remaining questions about the F2 Festival: (1) We didn’t pay Lego or Oscar Owens for sound engineer help or equipment. How do we get a hold of them (can you pass this message on to them), and how much do we owe? (2) Were there performers that didn’t get cab fare home paid for? Please let me know. (3) Estimated proceeds from the F2 festival are: $4000. All of that should be available for bail initially, when the money is returned the first largest chunk should go to NYC Peoples Law Collective (web tao.ca/nycplc/), the second to NYC Indymedia (nyc.indymedia.org) and the third to local community garden groups like More Gardens!, Earth Celebrations, Reclaim the Streets, etc. Also, tonight, healing space was made available at the Walkerspace at 56 Walker Street, led by Starhawk, web starhawk.org. On Wednesday, there will be a debriefing session at the Reclaim the Streets office space. I hope that you can all make it….(please see info below). In Solidarity, Yvonne – Forwarded message from “M.

Well, it’s because for as long as we have known you, we were capital, like bales of cotton and sacks of sugar, and you were the commanding, cruel capitalist, and the memory of this is so strong, the experience so recent, that we can’t quite bring ourselves to embrace this idea that you think so much of. As for what we were like before we met you, I no longer care. No periods of time over which my ancestors held sway, no documentation of complex civilizations, is any comfort to me. Even if I really came from people who were living like monkeys in trees, it was better to be that than what happened to me, what I became after I met you.” Jamaica Kincaid “A Small Place” Farrar, Straus & Giroux

Sacrificial virgins. September 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Harvest/Corn/Barley Moon) Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. *Oct 8 – Tues – d Libral Birthday Celebration September 23-October 22 Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind. Machinelf is free. Possible location: Somewhere ‘downscale.’ Oct 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Hunter’s/Travel/Dying Grass Moon) Oct 31 Halloween Nov 1 – Samhain – Winter’s Start *Nov 12 – Tues – d Scorpion Birthday Celebration October 23-November 21 Smoke scorpion venom 🙂 Junkies and Get High in the Pits” QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) – When they’re in season, Ghulam Raza smokes scorpions. He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

#2243 Wed, 6 Feb 2002 11:02:38 Wed, 6 Feb 2002 11:02:37 The Oracle at Delphi really did use Whippets Faults Suggest a High Calling for Delphi Priestesses By Guy Gugliotta Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, February 4, 2002; Page 6 They wa rned Oedipus to stay away from his mother, told Orestes to go ahead and kill his, caused Croesus to lose to the Persians, then helped Athens defeat them. So what’s the story with the priestesses at Delphi? Did they reall y channel for Apollo, or were they just high on somthing? Scientists don’t know about Apollo, but evidence is growing that the priestesses, kn own as pythia, were ripped on hydrocarbon gases, especially ethylene, a so metime anesthetic which, taken in modest doses, can induce lively conversa tion of a somewhat incoherent nature. This is because the Temple of A pollo at Delphi sits on crisscrossing geological faults, according to a team of scientists led by archaeologist John Hale of the University of Louisville and geologist Jelle Zeilinga de Boer of Wesleyan University in Connecticut. In re-embracing the ancients’ view that intoxicants emanate d from water bubbling from a rock fissure beneath the temple, Hale said, the team is challenging a century of research that held “that the prie sts and oracle were deceiving the public and inventing stories” to boost the shrine’s importance. Instead, it appears the ancients were right. ” I thought that if there is an active fault, there were most likely gases c oming up through fissures,” Zeilinga de Boer said. And if that were tru e, traces would show up in the travertine that underpins the temple. Tra vertine is a type of limestone. And so it proved. Reporting recently in the journal Geology, the team said that tests on the Delphi rock and the waters of a nearby spring showed the presence of mthane and ethane, w hich can be intoxicating, as well as ethylene, widely used as an anesthe tic in the first half of the 20th century. “It was a great gas,” said to xicologist Henry Spiller, director of the Kentucky Regional Poison Cente r in Louisville and another member of the Delphi team. “It produces a v ery rapid onset of effects, and leaves the heart alone.” Unfortunately, ” it is also explosive [and] dangerous for the surgeon,” Spiller added, whic h is why modern medicine eventually abandoned it. Ethylene, Spiller explained, produces “stages” of anesthesia. Low doses induce “disembodie d euphoria, with periods of excitation and amnesia,” he said. But at hig her doses, “you get delirium, hysteria and a combative, agitated state,” h e added. Further along comes unconsciousness and, if one is not careful, death. All of this squares nicely with historical accounts. As a high p riest at the temple in the 1st century A.D., the biographer Plutarch not ed that the pythia delivered oracles from a tripod in a small below-gro und chamber bathed in gases carried up by underground springs. Most of the time, the priestess was conscious, clever and chatty, but on occasion she flipped out, and things got nasty. The bad trips, including a death reported by Plutarch, had led past Delphi administrators to swap out the y oung maidens they used to put in the seat for more levelheaded matrons. Today the temple ruins, on the slopes of Mount Parnassus 100 miles nor thwest of Athens, are probably the most visited place in Greece after the Acropolis, but Hale said archaeological evidence suggests the ancient G reeks probably regarded Delphi as a holy place from its founding, about 1400 B.C. The shrine’s heyday began about 800 B.C., Hale said, when Gree k colonists sought Apollo’s blessing before they set sail for Italy, Sic ily, Spain, the Black Sea and Africa. The oracle didn’t go out of busin ess until A.D. 393, when the Christian emperor Theodosius shut it down. The oracle’s warnings and advice figure prominently in Greek mythology. After the Trojan War, when Orestes asked whether he should seek vengeanc e on his mother for murdering his father, Agamemnon, the oracle gave him the green light. Told by the oracle that he would murder his father and marry his mother, Oedipus did everything possible to avoid the inevitabl e, but failed. In actual practice, however, the oracle’s chief shortcomi ng was the ambiguity of her advice. Croesus, king of Lydia, went to war against Cyrus of Persia after the oracle told him that “a great nation would fall” if he crossed the Halys River. Unfortunately, the great nation turned out to be his own. And in 480 B.C., after the Athenians rejected the oracle’s opening prediction that the invading Persians would trash them, the priestess suggested they make use of “a wall of wood.” The At henians correctly interpreted this to mean ships, and subsequently defeate d Xerxes at sea in the Battle of Salamis. Delphi’s original excavation w as performed by French archaeologists, who at first found no gas emissions beneath the temple. An article published in English in 1904 suggested the fissure idea was “all a mistake,” Hale said. “This view defined the debate” for the next 90 years, and was reinforced by mid- century resear ch suggesting that emissions of intoxicating gas were impossible without volcanic activity, Hale said. “But this was archaeologists, mainly,” s aid geologist Luigi Piccardi of Italy’s National Research Council in Flo rence, whose own research in Greece reflects many of the U.S. team’s co nclusions. “The mechanics of active faulting are somthing only recently understood.” Geologists have known for years that much of Greece is in one of the world’s most active seismological areas. Delphi sits in the m iddle of the east-west “Corinth Rift Zone,” which slices the country in h alf. In the mid-1990s, Zeilinga de Boer spotted an active east-west faul t traveling beneath the Delphi temple and challenged Hale, a believer in the no-emissions theory, to rethink his views. Together, the pair f ound a second fault running north and south beneath the temple, and discov ered that the French had indeed found fissures in the bedrock but had on ly published their results in the 1920s, long after scientists had lost interest. “The geology is very young, and you have things happening befo re your eyes,” Zeilinga de Boer said. Deep in the earth, seismic forces grind the fault edges together, building tremendous heat that causes va porized hydrocarbons to funnel upward, joining groundwater to bubble up in springs through fissures in the ground. Spring water near the temple still has plenty of gases in it, Zeilinga de Boer said. The only reason gas doesn’t permeate the temple today is because modern Delphi is chann eling most of the groundwater into reservoirs: “The gas bubbles off befor e the water goes to the municipal system,” he said. 2002 The Washington Post Company -Allison h Calling for Delphi Priestesses By Guy Gugliotta Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, February 4, 2002; Page 6 They warned Oedipus to stay away from his mother, told Oreste s to go ahead and kill his, caused Croesus to lose to the Persians, then helped Athens defeat them.

#2252 Mon, 11 Feb 2002 02:47:32 Mon, 11 Feb 2002 02:47:31 More on the Big Mexican Trance Party Here are some of our Mexico pictures, there should be more coming soon: web picturetrail/gallery/view?p6&uid431983& Most of the time we stayer in Tulum, in small wooden beach huts right on the beach. We rented it from a mayan family who cooked us breakfast in the morning, let us play with a little insanely adorable fury creature named Lulu, and told us stories under the stars about Maya People coming down to Earth from Orion’s Belt and disappearing back up there after completing their mission here. Not to mention the gorgeous Carribean Sea (i’ve never seen waves this color), blue skies and bright yellow sun…every day…it was paradise One of the places we went to while in Tulum was Coba – an ancient Mayan city – one of the largest discovered to day. Most of the pictures were taken there. It’s in the middle of the jungle, half restored, mostly untouched by archeologiest and tourists. We actually had to walk through the jungle for several kilometers to get from one pyramid to another. Overall, I think Coba is over 80 sq. miles with 5 lakes. Nohoch Mul is the tallest pyramid in the Yucatan peninsula and is the main pyramid in the city dedicated to the Sun God. It is 12 stories tall,has 120 steps to the top and we actually did climb it…climbing down was much more fun…he he :)But it was all absolutely worth it, since from the top we watched the sunset (Mayan Decending God) over a magnificent span of jungle, lakes, and the ruins of ancient civilization laid out before you…it’s really not very expressible in words with the tops of other ruins reaching above the jungle the Mexican New year’s rave didn’t quiet match up after all of this, so we left the party early and went snorkeling in coral reefs in Puerto Marelos – another completely transient experience (!!!), in no way not manageable by words [Danila, thanks for recommending to try it!]. Swimming with tie-dyed colored tropical fish on the after-party-first-day-of-New-Year-morning was awesome, i managed to completely get over my phobia of water and whatever else the sea might hide, and Max even swam with a huge sea turtle, which is considered a sign of very good fortune among Mayans. Couldn’t wish for a better new year’s start… the last major stop was an in-land ancient town of Valladolid, built in 16th century by the Spanish, which impressed me with its wonderful architecture and most wonderful people … From there we went to Chichen Itza, another ancient Mayan city, but better excavated and restored,as well as frequented by tourists. It lacked the charm of the untouched ruins that Mayans left behind in Coba, where the spirit is still felt, but nevertheless was very interesting structure. it’s main pyramid Pyramid Kukulcan is the tallest of them and allows a view from the top of all Chichen Itza and is actually a 26,000 year solar calendar. It turned out, Mayans were quiet astronomers, astrologists, mathematicians, and architechts, managing to tie off of these disciplines together to create somthing very remarkable. During the Spring and Fall equinoxes, (March 21& Sept 21) the setting sun creates shadows down the steps of the Pyramid Kukulcan that resemble a snake descending. This is a popular event to see and usually draws big crowds. by the way, more info on this in the next message… ok, i’m tired and i’m not even half finished with remembering all the fun stuff we did in between of excessive substance and tequila intake…we even visited a local trance party on the beach under the full moon organized by local people. the party, people, vibe and music were so warm and comfy that i fell asleep right there in the sand in the middle of the dance floor – first time ever (!!) that happened to me… it turned out the same people who organized the party, strayed in the tents on the beach where we lived, so we had ambient playing there every night in our own private party under the stars and Orion’s belt…one night, i went into the water, and there were these bright green flourecent glowing somthings appearing and disappearing all around me ..i still can’t figure out what that was…any ideas anyone? so it was completely perfect. one word of advice for those traveling there – if possible, try to stay away and the like…you pay $30 to get in, and there is nothing really much exciting, but organized family fun. locals are a much better source of information…and ALWAYS bargain, 1/3 of a price is usually a good start ;))) till next time, Snegmore coming soon: web picturetrail/gallery/view?p6&uid431983& Most of the time we stayer in Tulum, in small wooden beach huts right on the beach.

SUMMER June 21 9:24am Summer Solstice June 21-24 Solstice Festival in Southern Colorado gregschmid at yahoo 888-336-3997 In many cultures, the coming of Summer is the heralding of a time for love, marriage, friendship, beauty, protection, courage, magical energy, physical energy, and strength. It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow. Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now.

The peaceful blue color of the Lapis stone can be worn to foster physical fertility as well as psychic awareness. Below are some suggestions I have to make your Summer Solstice Rituals complete as well as enlightening…I’ve even included some of my favorite meditations and incantations. Enjoy, and Blessed Be! June 24 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Strawberry/Rose/Hot Moon) *July 9 – Tues – d Cancer Birthday Celebration June 22-July 22 Crab cakes. Crabby people. Possible location: Maryland Crabs July 24 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Buck/Thunder/Hay Moon) Aug 1 – Lugnasad – Harvest Time *Aug 13 – Tues – d Leo Birthday Celebration July 23-August 22 Possible Location: White Lion.

Sacrificial virgins. September 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Harvest/Corn/Barley Moon) Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. *Oct 8 – Tues – d Libral Birthday Celebration September 23-October 22 Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind. Machinelf is free. Possible location: Somewhere ‘downscale.’ Oct 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Hunter’s/Travel/Dying Grass Moon) Oct 31 Halloween Winter (Pagan) Nov 1 – Samhain – Winter’s Start *Nov 12 – Tues – d Scorpion Birthday Celebration October 23-November 21 Smoke scorpion venom 🙂 Junkies and Get High in the Pits” QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) – When they’re in season, Ghulam Raza smokes scorpions. He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

Lyin’ Fusion Festival in California August 22 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Sturgeon/Red/Green Corn Moon) Labor Day – Burning Man *Sept 10 – Tues – d Virgan Birthday Celebration August 23-September 22 Virgin bloody maries. Sacrificial virgins. Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind. Machinelf is free. Possible location: Somewhere ‘downscale.’ Oct 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Hunter’s/Travel/Dying Grass Moon) Oct 31 Halloween Nov 1 – Samhain – Winter’s Start *Nov 12 – Tues – d Scorpion Birthday Celebration October 23-November 21 Smoke scorpion venom 🙂 Junkies and Get High in the Pits” QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) – When they’re in season, Ghulam Raza smokes scorpions. He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

#2255 Mon, 11 Feb 2002 13:13:41 Mon, 11 Feb 2002 13:13:41 Worth 3,750 times its weight in gold “The other day I was thinking about the price of gold as compared to the price of an equivalent weight of ds. Here’s what I have so far. Gold is about $300/oz or $11/g. First a common d, beer. Beer retails at about $0.07/oz. Beer’s cheap, life’s short, drink hard. Marijuana, an unrefined plant that grows damn near anywhere, retails for about $200/oz for bad weed or $480/oz for really good weed. So pot is pretty much worth its weight in gold. Some tin foil, a lamp and abracadabra! you have a small gold mine in your basement. Psilocybin Fungi retail for as much as marijuana, but the wholesale is astronomically low at the price of a walk amid cows on a damp morning. When you think cow pies, think “gold seeds”. Cocaine retails for about $2240/oz. Wholesale is closer to gold’s price per ounce. mthamphetamine and K have similar price structures although wholesale for each is less making each more profitable to retail. Ecstasy (E) retails for about $5600/oz and wholesales for about $1120/oz at the phatty-boom-batty dealer level. Heroin wholesales in Pakistan for about $140/oz. By the time it gets here to the good ol’ USA it’s priced to its consumer’s at $14,000/oz. l retails for (take a deep breath) $1.1 million/oz. That makes l 3750 times more valuable than gold. Picture 311 lbs of gold and that’s how much enough l to fit in the palm of your hand is worth. At wholesale values l is $28,000/oz, still almost a hundred times more valuable than gold. The classic hallucinogen takes the prize as the single most profitable d in existence. The moral of this FYI is that if you want to get rich quick (and don’t mind the idea of being a serial horse rapist’s girlfriend for 20 to life), the federal government has been kind enough to enforce price supports on various substances so that you can do so, tax-free*. Be sure to send them a ‘thank you’ note. *Line 26 of your 1040 is for illegally obtained income” Thanks, Lojikbom!Gold is about $300/oz or $11/g. First a common d, beer.

SUMMER June 21 9:24am Summer Solstice June 21-24 Solstice Festival in Southern Colorado gregschmid at yahoo 888-336-3997 In many cultures, the coming of Summer is the heralding of a time for love, marriage, friendship, beauty, protection, courage, magical energy, physical energy, and strength. It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow. Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now.

June 21 9:24am Summer Solstice In many cultures, the coming of Summer is the heralding of a time for love, marriage, friendship, beauty, protection, courage, magical energy, physical energy, and strength. It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow. Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now.

The peaceful blue color of the Lapis stone can be worn to foster physical fertility as well as psychic awareness.

Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind. Machinelf is free.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

Sent w/permission. i talked to a friend that went to the birthday party last friday, and he said it was off the hook, he’s the person that introduced me to psy trance via koxbox, he was raving about some edrum pads / tribal peoples, he said it was a killer party and the vibe was amazing ect !:) i’ve known about the d since the Gwashington bridge parties, but for some reason never signed on,, then lost contact,, and now im seeking people who are on the same spiritual path(?) as me… i’ve experienced the religious awakening at my first open air event (wemf) after dancing for almost 15 hours the veil was lifted and i was walking through higher planes of consciousness. my first psy trance event however was the raja ram / logic bomb party at the roxy!!! the vibe of that party was unbelievable. i think i would have had a much better time at the roxy if had been mentally prepared (for the music), but i had no idea on how i was supposed to comprehend the music and was catapulted into sensory overLoad. i didnt get ‘it’ until the wemf. and boy did i! the first night i danced until my legs gave out midnight – 9am, i have never experience pain like that, it felt like i had hyper extended both my legs (back) and i was stuck in a half bend over position. i couldnt move! (i always do my stretches now), but some of the djs saw me and just smiled. the next night started at around 5pm w/ brainwerkz from ottawa and went until about 11am! thankfully i had regained my composure and was able to throw down yet again. lori’s set was slammin’ in the early morning. this was about the time the veil was lifted and the fires in my soul erupted… i was talking to this greek guy at the roxy the week before, and he was explaining to me how these parties were like a religion to some people and i just looked at him like, what?!?

SUMMER June 21 9:24am Summer Solstice June 21-24 Solstice Festival in Southern Colorado gregschmid at yahoo 888-336-3997 In many cultures, the coming of Summer is the heralding of a time for love, marriage, friendship, beauty, protection, courage, magical energy, physical energy, and strength. It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow. Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now.

The peaceful blue color of the Lapis stone can be worn to foster physical fertility as well as psychic awareness.

September 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Harvest/Corn/Barley Moon) Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. *Oct 8 – Tues – d Libral Birthday Celebration September 23-October 22 Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

#2277 Thu, 21 Feb 2002 14:33:24 Thu, 21 Feb 2002 14:33:23 Help us put an anti d war ad in USA Today Dear Libertarian: Would you like to spit in the eye of America’s biggest d Warrior? Would you like to prove to millions of Americans that the latest government d War propaganda isn’t just wrong it STINKS like a rotting fish? Would you like to garner nationwide publicity for the Libertarian Party? Perhaps even get us on the nightly news? We have an opportunity to do all that. But only if we raise $69,800 by Friday. That’s a lot of money, but the potential pay-off is huge. When you hear our bold plan and SEE what we propose I think you’ll agree. In fact, I think you’ll laugh out loud with delight. First, some background. The Office of National d Control Policy (ONDCP) has launched a new advertising campaign that attempts to link ds with terrorism. The campaign got underway with two TV ads during the Super Bowl. The cost to taxpayers: $3.4 million! One of the ads, which pretended to show terrorists buying weapons, asked: “Where do terrorists get their money? If you buy ds, some of it might come from you.” In the other ad, young people made matter-of-fact statements like, “I helped kill a judge.” The ads were so outrageous that we issued a press release calling them “Super Bowloney.” We noted: “For the Office of National d Control Policy to claim that d users are to blame for financing terrorists is like a maniac who kills his parents, and then throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan.” We said: “The fact is, the War on ds CAUSES the very problem these ads complain about. It turns ordinary, cheap plants like marijuana and poppies into fantastically lucrative black market products. The War on ds enriches terrorists, finances violence, and makes America less safe.” Unfortunately, ONDCP bureaucrats don’t read our press releases. Or just don’t care about the truth. Last week, they rolled out the print version of the campaign, with full-page ads in 293 newspapers around the USA. One ad shows a young woman’s face. The text reads: “Last week, I washed my car, hung out with a few friends, and helped murder a family in Colombia.” The bottom of the ad says: “d money helps support terror. Buy ds and you could be supporting it too.” Unbelievable! The ad ignores the fact that the War on ds and the black markets it spawns drives up the price of illegal ds by as much as 17,000% (according to the Hoover Institution). Without the War on ds, there would be no link between ds and terrorism, and the financial engine that fuels many terrorist organizations would sputter to a halt. (At the end of this message, I’ll give you a link to the ONDCP ads, and you can see them for yourself. I don’t want you to think we’re exaggerating.) The ONDCP’s strategy is clear: It’s trying to take the September 11- inspired hatred of terrorists, and use it to bolster the failing War on ds. And, by implication, it’s suggesting that if you oppose the War on ds, you help terrorists. Well, we hate terrorists, too. In fact, we hate them so much we’d like to squeeze their funding down to almost ZERO. We’d like to see the $40 million the U.S. government says the Taliban raised from heroin dwindle down to a FEW PENNIES. We’d like to see the $300 million that Colombian rebels raised from cocaine shrink down to a HANDFUL OF PESOS. Can you imagine how destitute terrorists would be if marijuana sold for the same price as lettuce? If poppies were worth the same as tulips? And if cocaine-producing coca plants were no more valuable than Brussels sprouts? If the War on ds did not artificially inflate their prices by 17,000%, that’s exactly what would happen. And many terrorists would be penniless. We Libertarians understand that. We know the War on ds gives terrorists the money they use to kill Americans. But how do we get that message across? How do we reach the American people when those full-page ONDCP ads are spreading lies and distortions? Then we had a brainstorm: We’ll create our OWN ad. And that’s what we did. At first glance, it looks just like the ONDCP ad. But in OUR ad, the face of d Czar John Walters is staring out. And OUR text says… “This week, I had lunch with the President, testified before Congress, and helped funnel $40 million in illegal d money to groups like the Taliban.” Bang. We take the d Warriors’ ad and throw it right back in their faces. At the bottom, our ad says: “The War on ds boosts the price of illegal ds by as much as 17,000% funneling huge profits to terrorist organizations. If you support the War on ds or vote for the politicians who wage it, you’re helping support terrorism.” We give a website address for more information. Can you imagine John Walters’ reaction when he sees our ad? Can you imagine the squawks of outrage from the d Warriors? The ad is ready to go. At the end of this message, I’ll give you a link so you can see it for yourself. We want to run it in two newspapers: USA Today and the Washington Times. USA Today reaches 2.1 million people. It’s the nation’s most widely read newspaper. The Washington Times has a circulation of only 105,000. But, as the capital’s “conservative” newspaper, it reaches EVERY Republican House and Senate member.In fact, it’s one of the six newspapers President George W. Bush reads each day. Can you imagine President Bush’s face when he sees our ad staring at him from the pages of the Washington Times? When the ad runs, we’ll shift into overdrive to try to leverage it into ADDITIONAL news coverage. We’ll fax copies of the ad to major media around the country. We’ll tell them: “The d War Debate Is On!” We’ll challenge journalists to ask John Walters for a comment or to debate us on talk shows. If we do it right, our ads could generate twice as much “free” media coverage as they cost to run. But the ads won’t be cheap. It will cost $60,350 to run it in USA Today. And $9,450 for the Washington Times. That’s a total of $69,800. We plan to run the ad next Tuesday, so we can capitalize on the awareness of the original ads. That’s the quickest we can rush into print which means we need to raise the money by this FRIDAY, so we can submit the ad to the newspapers for approval. (They require a two-day notice.) Now, here’s the best part of the plan. Newspapers must approve ads before they run. Our with its in-your-face message and audacious take-off of the ONDCP ad may get rejected by USA Today as “too controversial.” It may get rejected by the Washington Times because it’s in direct opposition to their pro-d War editorial stance. Great. We hope the ads get rejected. If they do, we have a chance to create a FIRESTORM of controversy. Remember the TV coverage Ralph Nader got when he ran a MasterCard spoof ad during his presidential campaign and got sued by the credit card company? Remember the media coverage PETA got when it ran billboards of nude models with the caption: “I’d rather go naked than wear fur”? Remember the slew of articles that resulted when David Horowitz’s ad arguing against slavery reparations was rejected by several college newspapers? We have a chance to do the same thing. We have an opportunity to get pundits and columnists debating OUR ad. If our ad is rejected by either newspaper, we’ll immediately get on the phone to OTHER newspapers. (They love hearing about “censorship” involving rival newspapers.) We’ll blast a press release to the major TV networks, charging the two newspapers with “suppressing political dissent.” We’ll send a copy of the rejected ad to John Walters at the Office of National d Control Policy and dare him to comment. If we can get Walters to take the bait and attack our ad or question our arguments then the firestorm will begin. It will be the Libertarians versus the d Warriors. It could land us on national television since there’s nothing the media loves more than a good, juicy controversy. Then, we’ll take the money we raised and try to run the ad in two other major newspapers. And see if we can turn that into even more attention. Can we guarantee that we’ll get mountains of media coverage? Of course not. It depends on what other news is going on, what the ONDCP does, and other factors beyond our control. But if we DON’T run the ad if we don’t take chances we’ll NEVER get that kind of national coverage. If you don’t swing for the fences, you won’t hit a home run. This nervy ad could be OUR home run. But only if we raise $69,800 by Friday. If we raise the money, we’ll submit the ads to USA Today and the Washington Times, to run on Tuesday, February 26. (Not on Monday, because Congress is off on Mondays.) If the newspapers AGREE to run it, we’ll let you know. And we’ll blast out thousands of press releases promoting the ad on Tuesday morning. If the newspapers REJECT the ads, we’ll let you know. And we’ll blast out thousands of press releases, promoting the controversy, as soon as we hear their decision. The ad is already produced, and ready to go.

Please pass this message on to friends, family members, and other people you know personally who might be interested, but please don’t send it indiscriminately spam will only hurt our campaign.Would you like to spit in the eye of America’s biggest d Warrior? Would you like to prove to millions of Americans that the latest government d War propaganda isn’t just wrong it STINKS like a rotting fish? Would you like to garner nationwide publicity for the Libertarian Party? Perhaps even get us on the nightly news? We have an opportunity to do all that. But only if we raise $69,800 by Friday. That’s a lot of money, but the potential pay-off is huge. When you hear our bold plan and SEE what we propose I think you’ll agree. In fact, I think you’ll laugh out loud with delight. First, some background. The Office of National d Control Policy (ONDCP) has launched a new advertising campaign that attempts to link ds with terrorism. The campaign got underway with two TV ads during the Super Bowl. The cost to taxpayers: $3.4 million! One of the ads, which pretended to show terrorists buying weapons, asked: “Where do terrorists get their money? If you buy ds, some of it might come from you.” In the other ad, young people made matter-of-fact statements like, “I helped kill a judge.” The ads were so outrageous that we issued a press release calling them “Super Bowloney.” We noted: “For the Office of National d Control Policy to claim that d users are to blame for financing terrorists is like a maniac who kills his parents, and then throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan.” We said: “The fact is, the War on ds CAUSES the very problem these ads complain about.

Scary thing is, after all i been through, i am not concerned at this point over free speech from behind expensive sunglasses. That bygone era seems so long ago now. I wish i actually had the discretionary income to actually procure these illicit substances of which they speak; if i did have the income, I would replace the speakers conficated by the NYPD last summer.

Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now and legend tells that a nakedmtskip through a garden on Litha night ensures fertility for the coming season. The peaceful blue color of the Lapis stone can be worn to foster physical fertility as well as psychic awareness. Below are some suggestions I have to make your Summer Solstice Rituals complete as well as enlightening…I’ve even included some of my favorite meditations and incantations. Enjoy, and Blessed Be!

Sacrificial virgins. September 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Harvest/Corn/Barley Moon) Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. *Oct 8 – Tues – d Libral Birthday Celebration September 23-October 22 Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter.

If you support the War on ds or vote for the politicans who wage it, you’re helping support terrorism. Get the facts at web LP.org/dwar.” It’s no secret that terrorist organizations use d money to fund their operations and why not with such lucrative profits to be gained? If the d War were ended then the bottom would fall out of the black market d trade. If marijuana were as cheap as lettuce, or poppies worth as much as tulips, or coca producing plants priced like brussels sprouts, terrorist organizations would lose BILLIONS! Much like the ending of alcohol Prohibition in the 30’s drained mafia coffers, so too would the ending of the d war sap terrorist organization funding. The LP really stuck the blame where it belonged and was bold enough to implicate America’s War on d leaders as the SOURCE for terrorist funding to over 2 million Americans today. So go out and buy a USA Today and frame the ad that’s (hopefully) going to create a firestorm of controversy across the nation. d Peace 2010!!! -Lojikbom PS – Ben Franklin said to his fellows at the dawn of the Revolution, “We must all hang together or most assuredly we will hang separately.” They’ve been hanging us one by one for decades now; it’s about time we fought back!To: neuroatomik, Rebeccamccauley4 at cs For those of you that haven’t heard, the Libertarian Party ran a full page ad in the Washington Post and USA Today featuring d Czar John Walters that said … “This week, I had lunch with the president, testified before Congress, and helped funnel $40 million in illegal d money to groups like the Taliban.” At the bottom the ad stated, “The War on ds boosts the price of ds by as much as 17,000%-funneling huge profits to terrorist organizations.

#2286 Tue, 26 Feb 2002 11:23:47 Tue, 26 Feb 2002 11:23:46 Cheap scare tactics on TV This misleading ad will actually increase the disbelief among young people… deaths from E are incredibly rare; equally idiotic is that the chemical makeup of the ectasy is indeterminate – it could be PMA. If a fraction of the amount of money it took to produce and distribute this ad went towards testing – rooting out the real life substances that are parroted as real E – more lives may be saved and less disinformation and disingenuousness would be circulating. E abuse can be harmful, but this “reefer madness” scare tactic is ireesponsible and ridiculous. Parents of Ecstasy Victim Take Grief Public By KEN GUGGENHEIM .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (Feb. 26) – Jim Heird’s face fills the television screen. The dark background highlights his pale skin, square jaw and dark bags under his eyes. ‘I would have given anything for some warning signs,’ he says, almost shouting. ‘I would have moved. I would have locked her up, I don’t care, if there were warning signs. I would have done whatever it took.’ His voice cracks. ‘I was never given that opportunity.’ Then Heird, 61, sobs for all the world to see. His sniffles can still be heard as white letters appear on a black screen: ‘Danielle Heird died after taking two pills of Ecstasy.’ Before, the Partnership for a d-Free America made ads using fried eggs to symbolize brain damage and showing teen-agers thanking their parents for being tough with them. Now it is going for the gut in exposing the raw grief of Jim and Elsa Heird, a Nevada couple who lost their 21-year-old daughter to Ecstasy. Some say the ads overstate the substance’s dangers, making the case against its use less believable to teens. But the partnership, a coalition of communications professionals, says the ads will encourage parents to talk to children about ds. In coming months, millions of television viewers will get to know Danielle through a series of ads. They will hear the coroner read from her autopsy report. They will see her mother struggle to maintain her composure as she talks about her beautiful and vivacious Danielle. And they will watch Jim Heird weep. ‘A parent’s not supposed to survive their children,’ Heird says, dabbing his eyes with a tissue, at the end of the ad. ‘It’s not the scheme of things.’Under other circumstances, Heird says in a phone interview, he might have felt uncomfortable crying on television. Not now. ‘It may sound corny, but if I save one kid, if it saves one kid …’ ‘I gotta hope it saves a lot more than one.’ Until July 20, 2000, his family’s story was unremarkable. They lived in Henderson, Nev., just outside Las Vegas. The Heirds worked in a casino. He handled food purchasing; she was a chef. Danielle was their younger daughter. She graduated from a Roman Catholic high school and lived at home while working as a casino hostess. She planned to study radiology. She loved to Jet Ski, dance and go to lunch with her parents. On her last night, Danielle, her boyfriend and another friend went to a nightclub to celebrate her boyfriend’s birthday. A Clark County coroner’s report said she brought along six pills of Ecstasy, a d her parents later found out she had taken twice before. Ecstasy, considered both hallucinogen and amphetamine, has become increasingly popular in recent years. She gave two pills to each man and took at least one herself, the report says. At 3 a.m., she was groggy and feeling sick. The men took her to their home. She lay down on a bed and told the men to go back to the club. When they returned at 10:30 a.m., she was dead. ‘It came to us as a total surprise,’ Heird said. ‘There was never any evidence of any d use. The school never called us and said, ‘We need to talk to you. We think there’s a problem.”Within months of Danielle’s death, the Heirds began speaking at schools about Ecstasy. The partnership approached them about doing ads. The partnership says $20 million worth of airtime has been donated nationwide. Typical viewers are likely to see the ads several times during the next eight months, partnership spokesman Steve Dnistrian said. Some d policy analysts are uncomfortable using the story of Danielle. Although repeated use of Ecstasy has been linked to brain damage and kidney and heart problems, deaths like hers are relatively rare. Marsha Rosenbaum, of the d Policy Alliance, said teen-agers don’t take anti-d messages seriously because they know the risks often are overstated. She said Ecstasy is unsafe, but ‘if you choose to do it anyway, I’m going to be honest with you about how you can be safer.’ Dnistrian said the ads are aimed more at parents, to warn those who believe their children would never use ds.WASHINGTON (Feb. 26) – Jim Heird’s face fills the television screen.

Mega-tsunamis have happened with greater frequency than modern science would like to believe, and no coastline in the world is safe, says Canadian geologist-geographer Edward Bryant. He said he had found signs of giant waves sweeping over 425 feet high headlands in southeast Australia, roaring down the U.S. West Coast and carving into the bedrock of the Scottish coastline north of Edinburgh. “I believe St. Andrews golf course is a tsunami deposit,” Bryant, head of geosciences at Wollongong University south of Sydney, told Reuters. Over the past 2,000 years, tsunamis have officially killed 462,597 people in the Pacific region alone, with the largest toll recorded in the Japanese islands. Of the top recorded events, the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 is said to have triggered a 15-meter high wave that destroyed the port of Lisbon and caused widespread destruction in southwest Spain, western Morocco and across the Atlantic in the Caribbean. Modern science blames the killer waves on earthquakes and most countries believe they are immune. But in his book, “Tsunamis The Underrated Hazard,” Bryant argues that submarine landslides, underwater volcanoes and even the potentially catastrophic scenario of a meteorite impact must also be taken into account when evaluating tsunami risk. That means a destructive tsunami moving at 250 meters per second in deep water, 85 meters per second across continental shelves and at 10 meters per second at shore could strike an unprotected coastal metropolis anywhere, killing thousands. GEOLOGICAL DABBLER TO CATASTROPHIST In 1989, Bryant was dabbling into the coastal evolution of rock platforms and sand barriers along the New South Wales coastline of eastern Australia when he noticed somthing strange. Giant boulders, some the size of boxcars and weighing almost 100 tons, were jammed 33 meters above sea level into a crevice at the top of a rock platform sheltered from storm waves. Further field work found gravel dunes on a 130-meter-high headland and other massive boulders more than 100 meters inland. Bryant then examined bedrock that had been savagely eroded and found that headlands carved into inverted toothbrushes, where a gap had been roughly gouged in the middle, existed from Cairns in the far northeast to Victoria state in the south. This could not be explained by normal wave action or storms. “But a tsunami could do this,” Bryant said. “From being a trendy process geomorphologist wrapped in the ambience of the 1960s, I had descended into the abyss of catastrophism,” Bryant writes in his book. Similar toothbrush headlands exist in northeast Scotland and gravel has been dumped up to 30 km inland in Western Australia. To the scorn of many modern scientists, Bryant says it is “naive” to base what we know about tsunamis simply on documented history. In North America and Australia, official history only goes back as far as white colonization. We may be ignoring the legends of the Indians of North America, the Aborigines of Australia or the Maoris of New Zealand at our peril, he said. ORAL LEGENDS “We ignore all oral record and it’s probably a significant oversight,” Bryant told Reuters. One Aboriginal tale tells how one of the four pillars holding up the sky collapsed in the east and the sea also fell in. The Maoris of New Zealand have long spoken of a time of fire that burned the land to a crisp. A legend told by the Kwenaitchechat people of the U.S. Pacific Northwest tells of a great shaking of the earth that led to the sea receding and then coming back in a great wall. Using dating techniques, Bryant argues there is evidence that eastern Australia was struck by a mega-tsunami around 1500, which would coincide with the Aboriginal tale of a “great white wave.” The Aboriginal accounts of fire in the sky mean a comet crashing into the South Tasman Sea could have been responsible. Carbon dating indicates a great fire ravaged New Zealand at the same time, giving further weight to the theory of a comet. And Bryant said Japanese researchers probing past tsunamis had found evidence of a massive earthquake off Oregon in January 1700 that would coincide with the Indian tales, and with a Pacific seismic zone where the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate grinds under the North American plate in a process called subduction. “We now know the Oregon subduction zone goes every 300 years. 17002002?” he wonders with raised eyebrows. Bryant’s suspicions of meteor and comet impacts a relatively short time ago rile many in the scientific community who believe the chances of Earth colliding with space debris are tiny. But Bryant says computer modeling suggests a meteor would not have to be a “dinosaur killer” to cause a mega-tsunami. A chunk 100 meters in diameter moving at 20 meters per second could theoretically produce a tsunami that is 27 meters high at source. SUBMARINE LANDSLIDES Focusing on extreme scenarios such as meteorite impacts may also underestimate the risk of a mega-tsunami. Contentiously, Bryant argues that underwater landslides, which can involve thousands of cubic km (miles) of material, may have the power alone to generate the giant waves. A 1998 earthquake off northwest Papua New Guinea has been blamed for a tsunami that killed around 2,000 people near Aitape. But according to conventional scientific wisdom, the 7.1 magnitude was too small to be responsible for the 15-meter wave that at some points swept 500 meters inland. Bryant says a submarine landslide was the likely villain. Another landslide-induced tsunami may have been responsible for shaping the Scottish coastline, including the dunes of St. Andrews, 7,000 years ago. Scientists have found indications of a large submarine landslide at Storegga off the east coast of Norway that Bryant says could have sent a wave originally measuring 8-12 meters roaring into the North Sea and across the Atlantic. Worryingly, he says geologists at the University of Sydney have recently mapped around 170 submarine landslide zones off Sydney, Australia’s largest city with four million inhabitants. What’s more, he has found signs that tsunamis have struck the New South Wales coast with alarming regularity every 500 years. If you take the risk seriously, it does not take much to save human life from tsunamis. Chile, Japan and Hawaii already have warning systems and evacuation drills. Seabed sensors can send tsunami warnings via satellite triggering bells, alarms and telephones within minutes. “The only guarantee or prediction is that they will happen again, sometime soon, on a coastline near you,” Bryant concludes. “Tsunami are very much an underrated, widespread hazard. Any coast is at risk.”Mega-tsunamis have happened with greater frequency than modern science would like to believe, and no coastline in the world is safe, says Canadian geologist-geographer Edward Bryant.

When the Moon is full on Wednesday night it will be just about as close to Earth as it gets in its elliptical orbit, the U.S. space agency said. As a result, it will appear 9 percent wider than normal and shine 20 percent more brightly. At the far end of its ellipse, called apogee, the moon is 252,700 miles from Earth. At the closest, the perigee, it is only 221,500 miles away. In addition, the Earth at this time of year is closer to the sun on its own elliptical orbit, and therefore the moon is as well, so it has more of the sun’s light to reflect, adding to its brightness.WASHINGTON (Feb 26) – If the dog howls more than usual on Wednesday night and if lovers feel the urge to spoon, don’t be surprised, NASA said it’s the brightest full moon of the year.

September 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Harvest/Corn/Barley Moon) Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. *Oct 8 – Tues – d Libral Birthday Celebration September 23-October 22 Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say.

It is the perfect time for Fire Magic! The Summer Solstice, also called “Midsummer” or “Litha”, is the longest day of the year. (The Christian Calendar marks this holiday with “St. Peter and Paul’s Day) This celebration of the coming of the light is when magics involving protection, strength, energy and clear sight will be the most successful. With the Sun high in the heavens, the powers of light are readily evoked. Anything that shadows your soul can be set aflame by the Sun’s protective glow. Pagan couples also know that this is the time when the Horned God is at the zenith of His manifest Power and the flowering Godess of Spring welcomes his presence. Sex Magic is powerful now.

Autumn September 23 12:56 am Autumnal Equinox With only 3 more months left in the Celtic summer, pagan folk work hard for the harvest yet to come, whether it be corn and hay from the fields or the personal projects and goals that we planned for the summer months. When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not come to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the moment of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in somthing greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us become brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on some or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. Bring scales 😀 Justice is blind. Machinelf is free.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of tombstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter. *Dec 10 – Tues – d Sagittarian Birthday Celebration November 22-December 21 Centaur hunters.

Shelter this Saturday with Talamasca is really looking good. The old club Speeed was bought by the people who ran Shelter at Vinyl back in the day. Although it maxes out at 500 people (the roof is still closed) they have completely remodeled the place. There is of course the Phazon sound system, but there is also new AC installed on the top floor. JEG envisions this weekly to attract new non-trance people, somthing Tsunami has excelled in since 1995. Mike Bindra from the old Twilo was at Vinyl Saturday checking out the scene… that progressive trance/house warrior only booked psy at Twilo THRICE!! So the Hux Flux list at Vinyl was a success, and John Emmanuel honored it. We’ll continue to do it every Saturday, until further notice, mostly at Shelter, with some dates at Vinyl. To get reduced, say BRAINMACHINES list at door, give your email address that you receive these emails on. You basically save $5 off the $25. All list proceeds ($1 per person) will go towards rebuilding the d sound system for the bridge parties this year. Money raised for the d summer events so far: $110.
