Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest

Analysis & Observation, Commentary Comments Off

Just came in from cleaning out the driveway of more than a foot of snow accumulation. Took slightly more than an hour but the job got done even while more than an inch an hour continues pounding our area.

And while I was out there experiencing an almost mantra frame of mind while finding harmony between man and the elements did I find myself being reminded of the double standards as exhibited by the Western New York Paranormal and Spiritual community.

Double standards like it’s ok to use your groups name through more than eight different sites but it’s not ok when you complain about it because after all, we would never take your sites name from you.

Scratching head on that one.

Then there are those who are caught red handed slandering you publicly where should you decide to defend yourself everybody takes the side of the people who attacked you like you deserved it even while minding your own business.

“Bartender” another double please.

And to imagine the audacity of the schmuck who dared throw in my face that I bitch about other people when all I am really doing is just once more defending myself against the rampant idiocy found in this region.

They expect me to remain silent over how they treat their victims so as not to tarnish their reputations while their own behaviors are usually thousands of times worse.

Take for example the letter I just received. In it was detailed how a so called loving and knowledgeable older woman in the local community who after having shook hands with a male paranormal investigator had then proceeded “warning” everyone in the Buffalo and Rochester community about the individual just because she didn’t like his handshake!

Of course I also received a chastising over my having spoken out against this same woman who the letter claimed was all about sharing and caring when in reality my experience had shown me she was someone who was all about power and control in running everything “her” way. And yet once more the double standard comes to play.

But to imagine anyone taking it upon themselves to ruin someone else’s reputation over a handshake in the real world says far worse of them than the guy with a wimpy wrist and grip.

I could go on and on describing the many losses this warm hearted community has waged in creating severe financial losses for those which should be held in higher regard instead of the ones who if it were not for their ruthlessness would be nothing in this community. It would involve a list of characters even Hollywood or Disney could never have created on their own covering the paranormal right on through the Wiccan and New Age community.

Problem is should ever the truth be revealed on the local level in time such people would only be replaced by a newer and perhaps even worse cast of characters.

Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest.

So the local problem Children can and will continue so that you the public can explore and make your own discoveries of these hidden treasures of humanity much like within Pandora’s Box which are just waiting to enshroud your mind and darken your heart against anyone they oppose.

Because we are after all human.

Well, at least some of us.

One little known fact is that there exist several domains which point to this blog site. And one of which for a time had reflected my personal faith, my spirituality, as well as expressing my objections against specific individuals of the local Rochester Wiccan community whom it was felt had acted immorally against its own community out of a need for power and money.

Several months ago I abandoned my position as guardian of this region in permitting those wronged by such people to finally standup for themselves.

The site of which I speak of was known as Witches Of Lore. A site and tradition which existed long before all the Goths out there stole the name for themselves in representing everything from werewolves and vampires and Wicca oh my!

So when the site came down some of the local Wicnits began patting themselves on the back for a job well done. I mean after I sent my email to Mary of Rochester Pagan Pride stating I was walking away from it all and no longer wanted to be bothered that was pretty much it.

Problem was I still had one little parting act up my sleeve which none of them had ever considered.

For the longest time there have always been people who for whatever reason never did quite make the connection between Rochester Paranormal and that of Witches Of Lore. Where some folks thought it was just a spooky union in linking the two together in creating a more paranormal and supernatural resource.

Truth of the matter was that the people behind Witches Of Lore were also the same people behind the site Rochester Paranormal.

So for many folks including Pagans, when Witches Of Lore http://shadow-lore.org was removed they were surprised when the domain name would then take them to Rochester Paranormal. Representing the fact that the people behind Rochester Paranormal and its advanced ability to capture anomalous events are Witches who are well versed in magick and the supernatural realm of spirits.

Which was something both Wiccans and many others within the field didn’t like because no matter how much they profess their own authority it is true experience which will always prevail.

And real hereditary Witches make the best paranormal researchers who can hold their own when things get rough.

Another difference between us and the rest is that our relationship with spirit is based on mutual respect and understanding whether a spirit be positive or negative in nature as dealing with the spirit realm should never be taken lightly.

Our ghostly visitor was captured on film just last night after I had cast a few bones while conducting a protection spell against some threats we had received of activity against us by the local Wiccan community.

You would think such people would think twice before doing harm against others.

Live and learn or Live and burn.

It is always about freedom of choice.

Blessed Be.

The Witches of Eastwick: Darryl Van Horne’s Speech

Analysis & Observation, Demons, Film, Magick, Supernatural, Witchcraft Comments Off

The Witches of Eastwick has always been one of my favorite “Witchy” movies which came long before the Disney takeover in creating a soft and fuzzy atmosphere surrounding today’s Wiccan. Which as anyone within that particular given community would know, especially within our own region of Western New York, is anything but loving.

The movie had created an almost naughty testimony on the emotional frailties and vulnerabilities regarding human nature which often tempts us in demonstrating our deepest darkest desires for power and control of not only the lives of others but of also our own destinies.

Witches of Eastwick had also quite unabashedly expressed the primordial desire of man through the characterization of  Darryl Van Horne who as everybody knew was the devil himself, of having intentionally brought himself to the small town of Eastwick where he amorously entered the private lives of three women who were coven Witches in establishing his own presence in the modern era.

But in spite of the three seductresses less than ethical actions they had all proven themselves women of conscious where came the eventual showdown of supernatural forces between the three lovely Witches and Satan himself.

What followed was the memorable Darryl Van Horne’s Speech, which directed much rage and accusation against Gods purpose behind the creation of women, in between violently vomiting cherry pits in the middle of an interrupted Sunday Church service.

Shakespeare’s Henry IV Part 1: And I will take up that with ‘Give the devil his due.’

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

This particular story is not kind at all towards Witches.

In fact the Witches in this story are more your Satanic brand as opposed to today’s Wiccan which claim themselves as modern Witches even though not a single Wiccan had ever been mentioned either in the Bible or during the inquisition.

In essence Wiccans are posers whose faith is still rather new when compared to the antiquity of the actual craft.

The actual craft that is to say REAL Witchcraft is Goddess based and does not believe nor worship Satan.

Satan is a Christian concept, and has no place within a Goddess religion.

But it has always been common practice that the Gods of an old religion would become the demon and devils of a new religion.

And thus in time Witchcraft or that of the old religion was bastardized as becoming something worshiping Satan and devils.

In the real world you have many different interpretations of Christianity.

And you also have different interpretations of the old religion of Witchcraft and Wicca.

So before joining any religion is it always a good ideal to fully explore and investigate any spiritual organization.
