my favorite ''disclaimer''

This is a blog. That fact means nothing. It is not a peer-reviewed journal, a final archive of my writing, a sponsored publication, or the product of gatekeeping and editing. That does mean something… it means that while the ideas and thoughts are often vital and the product of a long gestational period, the writing itself is not. It is essentially as it came from the keyboard: spontaneous, unproofed, unrevised, and corrected afterward only when necessary to address mistakes that grossly effect the intent. Where such changes have been made they are explicitly noted.

It would be distinctly unwise– not to mention uncharitable– to play connect-the-dots with my physical life and work and my “life of the mind,” as scanty as either might be. My attitude at work, my reaction to ideas, your grade (good or bad), the length and tone of my discussion at the coffee pot, the intensity and duration of my lovemaking, the time it took for me to return your letter or email, and the quality and quantity of my response to you in any medium are probably not tied to anything you read here… at least not in a way that you will be able to confidently assume without sharing years of psychotherapy and the bills that come with it. And even then, keep in mind the next (and last) paragraph.

Opinions and characterizations of fact here are my own and represent no one else. They do not represent the University of Alaska, my family, my friends, my children, my ex-wives, the baristas at the coffee shops where many of the longer entries were written, the irritated owners of said coffee shops who want tables to turn over, the repressed or “the man,” alien life forms, any movement (political or intestinal), the women I want and can’t have, the women I’ve had and shouldn’t have wanted, or a coherent and consistent philosophy or aesthetic. In fact, it’s quite possible that by the time you read the words here they won’t even represent me. If I contradict myself, very well then, I contradict myself. I am not Whitman, but like him I am large and my girth contain multitudes. Catching me in a contradiction is probably not the result of your steely grasp of logic and it’s almost assuredly not a product of hypocrisy. I’m a human being and my blog reflects that humanity.

not only do i think this is genius

but i will be changing some things and making it mine

thank you Chris Lott

negativity is not the t

Spell to Reflect Negativity

You will need your magic mirror or a consecrated small round mirror,
a wide-mouthed glass jar, ashes, vinegar, a knife or something else sharp like a razor blade
or piece of broken glass, and an apple.
After sundown, set the jar before the mirror and place in it some ashes.
Fill it up about 2/3 of the way with vinegar.
Take the apple and carve into it something that will represent the person or the negativity which
follows or attacks you. Try and make it as clear as you can-while you carve, infuse the apple
with all of the negativity you perceive around you . Raise the apple above the jar and say:

"Evil send must come to rest
Reflect it back to who knows best
Energy spent for evil and bane,
Go back now from whence you came
Far away I send you this hour
May all your attempts to harm turn sour!"

Place the apple in the jar-for best results do this spell for three consecutive nights.

i tried it so should you

sometimes
i have to admit i can not sleep.
no shit you say?
yeah, you just may be the one i keep up all damn night
either way i found a chant that has made it a bit easier for me to rest.
and if you are open minded, you should try it as well
and if your not open minded, do it cause i said so

Say while you are falling asleep (only works in your bed):

Go away evil dreams
its not what it seems
go away go far away leave my dreams sight
give me at least one good night

(keep repeating it)

get out of my dreams bia

tch
lmao
sorry that was funny to me


so:

There are some people who can invade your dreams, who can travel astrally to your home, or even drain your energy while you sleep.

If you think someone's spirit may be visiting you or your home when you are asleep, try this:

Wrap three fresh apple seeds in a white cloth pouch. Tie the pouch closed. Don't lose the seeds. Safety pin the pouch to the pillow you sleep on. Sleep with the pouch attached to your pillow for seven nights. At the end of the seven nights, remove the three seeds from the pouch and toss them out your front door. On the off chance that a spirit is leaving it's body and traveling to your home, this will make it impossible for it to enter the house.
