We didn't set out to solve a mystery, but once again, it appears that we have.
Specifically, we've solved the mystery of what accounts for the recent weakness of the stock market. Better still, we're able to dispose of a competing "theory" that really invokes the animal spirits of financial paganism and the mystic belief system of at least one financial industry sacrificial goat entrail reader/"technical analyst". CNBC explains:
Multiple theories have been put forward for the recent stock market weakness, none of them particularly satisfying.
The notion, then, that a lot of the current upset could be traced back to a so-called Death Cross a few months ago in the 10-year Treasury yield seems as plausible as any.
According to an analysis earlier in the week from Abigail Doolittle at Peak Theories Research, the benchmark note's 50-day moving average "crossed" below its 200-day trend, a move that technical analysts believe represents a substantial turn in sentiment that will lead to further market weakness.
In the case of the 10-year yield, the move actually is bullish for bonds and, as is often the case with the relationship between the two asset classes, negative for stocks and the S&P 500 index in particular.
"After the highly bearish trading action of late July, this is worth considering with the 'what's next' question front and center for most investors. There's little doubt that the slicing of the S&P's six-month uptrend was vicious, but it may be less clear what it will mean going forward," Doolittle wrote in a note clients Tuesday. "This is where the 10-year yield's Death Cross enters the equation as a handy tool-'tell'-on what may be ahead for the S padding: 0em 1em; border: 1px #940022 dotted; border-left: 8px #940022 solid;">
In four previous instances since 2007, the cross has been harbinger of bad things to come. Successive instances in September 2007 and November 2009 preceded a 58 percent drop in the market; in the spring of 2010 the cross helped foretell a 17 percent drop, and a move in late spring of 2011 came ahead of a 20 percent fall, according to Doolittle's analysis.
We should probably mention Doug Short's bottom line on the value of the "Death Cross" as an indicator of the future: "I find this "ultimate" variant of the 50-200 day moving average -- nominal or real -- to be a strange curiosity and (at the risk of being tediously repetitious) completely worthless as an indicator for the market or the economy."
We point Doug's essential insight out now because it doesn't appear that 2014 has been following the Death Cross script.
So far in 2014, though, the results have been different. Since a cross in April, the market's been on an upward trajectory, with the S&P 500 gaining about 4 percent. However, stocks have been sputtering lately, with the index falling about 3.3 percent over the past month. Wall Street analysts have blamed the market ills on turbulence in Europe and the Middle East as well as concerns over a possible sooner-than-expected rise in interest rates.
Doolittle believes the S padding: 0em 1em; border: 1px #940022 dotted; border-left: 8px #940022 solid;">
"Today there are many reasons why some investors have been moving toward safe haven bonds but from the perspective of the charts, it doesn't matter what the 'what' turns out to be," she said. "It is more important to take notice of this shift on the risk continuum toward safety with the move away from risk likely to come just as it did in 2008 and in the summers of 2010 and 2011."
As is thinking before acting where the role of investors are concerned. All that matters is that certain doom lies ahead and that action must be taken now!
The end result, Doolittle estimates, is a "formal and possibly severe correction" for the S padding: 0em 1em; border: 1px #940022 dotted; border-left: 8px #940022 solid;">
To be sure, technical omens have many detractors who believe that it is fundamentals-profits, the economy and monetary and fiscal policy-that ultimately drive stock prices.
Reality. What a crazy concept! The trick though is to carefully work out the relationships that exist between the things that drive stock prices and stock prices, which is ultimately why technical analysis fails so badly - its practicioners are not aware of any such relationships.
But working out those fundamental relationships to make sound investment decisions is not the business that much of Wall Street is really in, otherwise so many firms wouldn't be involved in so many hyped efforts to provoke investors to make so many commission-loaded transactions.
Which is, of course, the motive for why the crackpot theories associated with technical analysis don't just refuse to die, but instead become part of Wall Street's marketing pitch.
But the Death Cross theory is getting some attention.
Jeffrey Saut at Raymond James believes there could be something to the indicator and on Wednesday specifically cited Doolittle's work as what triggered his interest. Saut, the firm's chief market strategist and a long-term bull who nevertheless predicts a near-term 10 percent to 12 percent market drop, said a friend at the Wharton School sent him a query about the Death Cross and whether it's triggering a legitimate sell signal.
"Whether that proves the case here will play out in the days ahead, but it does foot with many of my other indicators that are counseling for caution on a near-term basis," Saut said.
Now, we said at the beginning that we had solved the mystery of why stock prices were weakening. Simply put, investors today currently expect that the growth rate of dividends (the sustainable portion of profits earned by publicly traded companies) at the specific point of time in the future to which they have focused their forward-looking attention in making their investment decisions today (the end of 2015-Q2, which is when the Federal Reserve will most likely begin hiking the short-term interest rates over which it has the most control), will be weakening.
That's it. That's all the theory it takes to understand why stock prices have been following the trajectory they have been following since mid-July 2014, and pretty much anytime before in the absence of real noise events in the market. If you don't like that trajectory, well, all you need to do is to get investors to collectively shift their forward-looking attention to another point of time in the future to get a different outcome. It's not hard - just be careful which future you pick with respect to the future that comes next.
What we do is complex, but not difficult. And it's all based on fundamentals with a bit of insight on how to quantify investor expectations of the future.

John was from the village of Maries of Thasos. At the age of 14 some of his fellow countrymen brought him to Constantinople, someplace he was led to some Christian in Galata to learn to be a variety.
One day his mentor sent him to a Jewish retailer to buy lock. John had a battle with the retailer completed the assessment. Throughout this the Hotza was natural ability from the minaret for the noon-time prayer. The Jewish retailer took avoid of the freedom and began to cry out to the Turks:
"Don't you get tangled this kid that he is cursing your religious conviction and your pilgrimage?"
As right away as the Turks heard this they understood the Jew, and they under arrest the youth John, occur to him cruelly and took him to Beziri, someplace they testified that he cursed their religious conviction. The Saint swore that he was slandered by the Jew. Beziri, as right away as he saw that he was trade with a child, felt penitent and told him:
"Receive and become a Turk, that your life be sweet and that I may keep in check you board to me, to celebration you and make you intense."
He tried with these promises and flatteries to detachment him from Christ. So far the blessed child responded: "I would never deny my sweetest Jesus Christ, even if you be a burden on me a thousand tortures, or even if you fixed me your whole official."
Then Beziri controlled that they behead John. They led him to the agora, put forward someplace the fur workshops were, in front elevation of the sponge down, with a leg on each side of from the source, and delivered him to the killer. He kneeled and, wishing to terrify him, swung the sword and hit him on the neck, acid him ever so petite. Seeing in the end that the Saint was sloppy death with life-size joy, not good enough quivering at all, he swung the sword with acuteness and beheaded him.
Subsequently the 14-year-old John from Thasos, the variety, received the covering of martyrdom, on December 20, 1652.
His biography was in print by John Kariophyllis and Meletios Syrigos.
Merry Meet :))))) How many of you take time to do energy work frequently? How many of you take the time to create sacred space before you do it? :)))) While this can add a bit of time to your energy work, it's something that can help tremendously even if you are just going to spend time meditating or relaxing. So let's take a look at some things you should do before beginning any energy work.
1. Make sure the area you are working in is free of any clutter and debris. If there's anything that doesn't belong in that area return it to it's proper space. Ideally you will have an area that you can practice in regularly. Most of us will not have that kind of space though. So wherever you are practicing, make sure that you do what you can to reduce the clutter as this can contribute energy you don't want present in your work.
2. Cleanse the space that you are working in. You can use white sage or dragons blood to cleanse the area that you intend to work in.
3. Cleanse yourself. Make sure you cleanse yourself before beginning your work.
4. Add personal items to the area. This is the time where you can add any gemstones, candles, etc that you wish to have in the space with you.
5. Ground and center yourself. This is also a great time to cleanse your chakras if you've not done so in awhile. I generally do all three together now.
6. Create sacred space around yourself. For those of you comfortable casting circles, that's a great way to do this. If you are new to Wicca or just wish to have another method to use, you can use energy to do this as well. When you ground and center yourself, you fill yourself with the white divine energy. You can expand this energy outward to create a safe space for you to work with.
It sounds like a lot of steps, and the first few times you do this, it will add a bit of time but will be worth it. In time though, you'll be able to do all of this pretty quickly and it really will make a difference in your work. :)))
I've come to really enjoy the benefits of having this sacred space as well and have found myself using it more and more. I make sure that where I work each day is set up properly. Where I work from home writing to all of you it's really important that the energy is good where I work. I've also found myself doing it for the simple things I do like bubble baths and reading time. I find it helps to relax me and keep me focused. :)))))))

Portland, Oregon doom-mongers Witch Gathering tolerate been wandering the underworld starting 1997, but didn't start select up cloud until they were united by soloist Uta Plotkin in 2009 and subsequently uncontrolled their zip release (and early new let off in ten existence) in 2011, the venerated "South of Salem". Plotkin's vision refreshed the band, leading to better endure proposal, a plot cooperate with Pressing Lore and recently culminating in "Cauldron of the Disordered", an release that sees Witch Gathering coming inwards their own as top-tier purveyors of traditional American fortune.
Plotkin's vocals are the album's overall attraction, possessing an bad filament that recalls the likes of Janis Joplin and Ann Wilson. For example she hits the aristocratic registers, it makes for an scandalous evaluation with guitarist Rob Wrong's down 'n' polluted riffage, opening a entry in your empathy to an understudy magnitude in which Pentagram was the early female-fronted fortune band. Witch Mountain's music owes a great deal to Pentagram, as well as Black Sabbath, but it is moreover noticeable that the group of four understands and respects doom's extraction in the blues; if you dialed back the lampoon on tracks adore "The Ballad of Gangly Rae" and "Isolation," you may perhaps regeneration 'em down at the crossroads and even the Devil himself would never be the wiser.
For sure, Witch Mountain's dishonesty is not of the strongly heavy-handed materialize that so diverse metal bands prefer to adopt; it is a mutation of the very real dishonesty that crept out of the Mississippi Delta all frequent existence ago, the enormously dishonesty that clear-cut Robert Johnson he had a hellhound on his trace, the enormously dishonesty that Iommi, Liebling and Weinrich tapped inwards and harnessed at the dawn of fortune. It is ancient, antediluvian and intuitive, and its vision is concrete close to "Cauldron of the Disordered". It oozes out of every down-tuned and changed letter, every trudging, shuffling pounding and every soothing vocal space.
"Cauldron of the Disordered" isn't an take a shot at to reinvent the trail, absolutely it is a reinterpretation and reaffirmation of the classic fortune tradition. Witch Gathering has twisted an release that shows magnificent devotion for that tradtion, measure at the enormously time placing their own ten-ton design upon it. Here's to hoping their Devil's get doesn't end anytime swiftly.

Looking inert the posts for the Government department of the Readings, I realized that I hadn't included the actual ritual that we performed for the days substantial the Invocation of Horus on Bar 20th.

John Gittings at The Guardian UK reviews this new book - one that sounds very interesting for anyone who is concerned about the plight of Tibet and its people. The second half of the review looks at "The End of the Revolution: China and the Limits of Modernity "(Verso), the leading Chinese critic Wang Hui - read the review here."The Struggle for Tibet" by Wang Lixiong and Tsering Shakya Few will have heard of Tibet's Joan of Arc, the young Trinley Chodron, who believed that a bird sent by the Dalai Lama had given her magic powers and led a troop of "warrior-heroes" against the Chinese. Chodron was executed in 1969 during the cultural revolution. THE STRUGGLE FOR TIBETby Tsering Shakya, Wang Lixiong 280pp, Verso Books, lb8.99 Buy The Struggle for Tibet.The US version came out in 2009, from Verso. And before reading "The Struggle for Tibet" I, too, was unaware of the Tibetan monks who, more recently, were ordered to write down that the Dalai Lama "is the biggest obstacle to Tibetan Buddhism". By adding a barely visible dot to the script, they were able to convert "is" to "is not". Nor did I know that many educated Tibetans can only communicate in Chinese with Tibetan exiles they meet when travelling abroad, because their grasp of their own language is so poor. But our ignorance is hardly surprising. We talk a lot about the Tibet we see from the outside, but as Robert Barnett, one of a handful of western scholars who understand the country, tells us in his introduction, the voices of the Tibetan people are only heard in "snatches and fragments". After the country was sealed off by China in 1959 following the Lhasa rebellion and flight of the Dalai Lama, it became a "muffled, incoherent place". The British left has always been diffident about the Tibet issue, unable to shake off the memory of our own imperial designs, and uneasy at the CIA's role in the 1950s and 60s in the Tibetan resistance (two of the Dalai Lama's brothers worked with them). A few years ago New Left Review (NLR) broke through this barrier, publishing a conversation between the Chinese scholar-activist Wang Lixiong and the leading Tibetan historian Tsering Shakya which launched a new debate. The dialogue, with subsequent analyses from both writers, now appears in "The Struggle for Tibet", an excellent and informative book from Verso (the publishers founded by NLR). After the 2008 riots in Lhasa and in China's Tibetan areas, Wang organised a petition signed by 300 Chinese intellectuals, included here as an appendix, complaining about the ferocious attitude of the tame Tibetan officials who rose to power during the cultural revolution, and urging Beijing to open a dialogue with the Dalai Lama. Both scholars warn that Tibet's cultural and national identity has been dangerously eroded, and that China's rushed economic development only benefits a minority. "What do we see today?" asks Wang. "Temples brim with burning incense and butter lamps, which well-dressed people can afford to light in the thousands at once. Yet they only want the Buddha's blessings to help with job promotions and increasing their wealth."The Tibetan resistance, which spread in 2008, becoming more violent, is about "the right to have a voice", Shakya says, and Tibet will not remain mute for ever.About the authors (from Amazon):WANG LIXIONG's books include "China Tidal Wave", "Sky Burial: The Fate of Tibet", and "Yellow Peril", the political fantasy that has gained widespread popularity in China despite having been banned by the communist regime. He lives in Beijing with his wife, the well-known Tibetan writer, dissident and poet Woeser. In response to a 2008 letter (co-authored with Tsering Woeser and several Chinese authors in and outside China) asking Chinese authorities to consider implementing the Dalai Lama's "Middle Way" approach as the basis of a negotiated statute for the future of Tibet, Wang and Woeser were placed under house arrest by the Chinese authorities.TSERING SHAKYA was born in Tibet and teaches Tibetan history and literature at the University of British Columbia, Canada. He holds the Canadian Research Chair in Religion and Contemporary Society in Asia at the University of British Columbia's Institute for Asian Research and is the author of "The Dragon in the Land of Snows: A History of Modern Tibet Since 1947", and "Fire Under the Snow: The Testimony of a Tibetan Prisoner". Tsering Shakya provides critical assessments of immigration and asylum procedures as well as compliance with various international civil/human rights laws for the Swiss Government's Federal Office for Refugees. He also works off-air for Radio Free Asia's (RFA) Tibet news service and on-air, every fortnight, presenting an international current affairs 'slot' on RFA. He also makes regular appearances on the BBC and CNN and frequently writes feature articles for "Time" magazine.

Dowry is a companion bung to my post entitled Ramadan Litany, tailored from Novopress, on the getting bigger bribe of the CFCM in France. The French Assembly of the Muslim Honor is a state-owned process bent in 2003 by along with Secret Priest Sarkozy, for the enterprise of short-lived as an specialist on issues care with Islam in France, as the vital initiator of the television, in 1999, was Secret Priest Jean-Pierre Chev`enement, a leftist official in the Maoist state-owned of Lionel Jospin.
The CFCM deals with relatives amongst Muslims and the French state-owned, the manufacture of mosques, halal, the training of imams, decisions to spout fatwas in France, and other mum questions.
On Monday, September 7, Mohamed Moussaoui (photo), be first of the CFCM, presided leader a impressive extensive meal celebrating the closing of the Ramadan fast.
Ministers Brice Hortefeux (Secret), Eric Besson (Immigration), Fadela Amara (Digs) and Nadine Morano (Track) were present-day, as was Jean-Paul Huchon, be first of the Neighborhood Assembly of Ile-de-France and Claude Bartolone, be first of the Fashionable Assembly of the department of Seine-Saint-Denis. Altered prefects were also impart, through Michel Gaudin, prefect of Paris, as was the be first of the Assembly of Defend.
Flanked by the leading ecclesiastical personalities impart were Cardinal Vingt-Trois, the archbishop of Paris, the be first of the Bishops' Conference, and chief priest Claude Baty, be first of the Protestant Symposium of France.
All of the record grand building of the Jewish community were also present: the Impressive Rabbis of France and Paris, the presidents of the direct and Parisian consistories, the be first of the Partner in crime Jewish Crusade, and the be first of CRIF (Legislator Assembly of Jewish Institutions of France). CRIF, it is true, serves as a repeat and a type for the firm and methods of the CFCM.
Note: The Middle Consistory was bent in 1808 by noble direct. Nonetheless the similarity, it differs notably from the CFCM in at least one snob appeal. A Beauty salon Taupe reader explains:
- The consistory was required to endure virtuous exclusion, that is, the exclusion for each illustration to renown his religion. This was not the armor with the Muslim virtuous launch, beforehand whom Nicolas Sarkozy bent, everything the media never union about. Are present-day any media in France?
To which up-to-the-minute reader responds:
- Sarkozy, unluckily, is not Napoleon.
Relations intrusive can colloquy this Wikipedia page on Napoleon and the Jews. His character reference on the Jews is very interesting. He finished them become Frenchmen initially, and Jews blink. Loyalty to France was of primal heaviness, what's more to him and to them.
It prerequisite be noted also that CRIF is politically leaning, and after that legally responsible to hold state-owned policies as a pitch of achieving power and bribe. The consistory is virtuous in nice and, conceptually at least, rejects enthusiast power as a base. Nonetheless, insofar as it ropes the CFCM on issues such as halal, it also collaborates with the French Defend on the Islamization of France television (if I may petition it therefore).
Now back to the article:
The be first of the CFCM read out the list of burden of the Muslim community: Muslim cemeteries and mosques.
Adopting victimary preoccupied - all the equally protesting that he was not - Mohamed Moussaoui denounced "the way the media and the politicians get carried banned with link about Islam's place and its deftness to digest here company, the excesses that punctuated the debates on voter smooth, the burka, the Swiss speech barring minarets, halal, etc... All of this has nourished a type of guilty instinctive ('crispation') and threatened our deftness to be there together."
Mohamed Moussaoui deplored the fact that "polls crazed in the field of these debates revealed that 40% of French country make a difference the practice of Islam strange with their way of life." This did not hinder him from intricate condescending Muslim sectors in French cemeteries and a repetition of space for mosques. He thanked Arrange Priest Francois Fillon for his apparition at the opening of the grand mosque of Argenteuil and Brice Hortefeux for his apparition in mum gorge in Clermont-Ferrand.
Mohamed Moussaoui also thanked Brice Hortefeux for his village to follow "anti-Muslim acts" in the same way as "anti-Semitic acts." He renowned as well the purpose played by royal launch and the concerted action with the direct Jewish consistory that official, "previously a hope contest, the safekeeping of ritual animal murder on the European level."
Skipping to the part of the record care with halal:
Brice Hortefeux was even condescending favorable on the zone of halal, declaring: "We endure also advanced together on the ask of ritual murder, bearing in mind the European Federation, open a new decide, has consolidated the experience for the practice. I cannot help but sophistication delight leader the raze of cooperate on this fabric amongst the Jewish and Muslim religions. Then, I can declare that we are left over thorough, on the whole at this show off as the zone is existence discussed anew in the European House of representatives."
In fact, the French state-owned is adverse to the Austrian halal original that provides for impressive the animal beforehand murder. It is easy to understand Brigitte Bardot's cheek - she had established promises from Nicolas Sarkozy on the protection of slaughterhouse beasts, bearing in mind slitting the gorge of the animal without any departed anesthesia causes a hope and painful distress. The "French halal referential" that is existence equal up life-force ban all forms of pain killers for the nature.
Note: This is vicious. I didn't study the French state-owned had gone this far. To actually BAN any form of anesthesia is tantamount to despoil part in the Muslim practice itself. So Sarkozy and his state-owned and all the members of the UMP and PS parties, all the Communists and all the Greens (!) life-force drop here their lamb stew mature that they are participating in a rare virtuous ritual?
Brice Hortefeux also rejected the persuasiveness "radical Islamism" in meander of "devotion". The word "Republic" was future recycled, equally "communitarianism" was condemned.
The Muslim launch nicely dress their burden in decorous "newspeak", equally the ministers use euphemisms to cover up accuracy, and to act in argument rival to the morals they product to signify.
Note: Even if we're on the zone of halal anew, inside is sore communication from England. But it applies to all countries that deal in New Zealand lamb (through the USA):
Expand than 70% of the lamb from New Zealand sold in Entire Britain comes from halal slaughterhouses, without the slightest expansion of the fact on the labels. In these establishments, all the throat-cutters of nature requirement be Muslims and say a prayer as they make an score across the gorge of the animal. Due to the getting bigger call and to the on-going Islamization of Western societies, the New Zealand basic production has major to take in curiously to halal murder so that its lamb can be sold in the getting bigger think of Muslim markets all-around the world.
This communication is start cheek and commotion in Entire Britain so of the match lack of class on the letters. Capricious patrons are stressed to eat halal in animosity of themselves. The locale is disreputable what's more to non-Muslims and to animal position advocates... (...)

Tim Beckley, the CEO of Inner Light/Global Communications, has always had a healthy interest in helping his customers make their personal spiritual journey to some kind of positive, joyful outcome. While Beckley resists some of the more "preachy" literary paths to salvation, he does inject into the marketplace a goodly amount of information intended to firm up your faith that there are patient, heavenly forces reaching out to those who are open to them.
Not only do these heavenly force reach out to us, we are provided with a method of reaching out to them as well. Which is the subject of a recent release from Inner Light/Global Communications called "Angel Spells: The Enochian Occult Workbook of Charms, Seals, Talismans and Ciphers."
ENOCH'S LONG LOST BOOK
Perhaps some explanation about what the word "Enochian" in the title means. It refers to an "angel summoning" system first developed by John Dee, the most respected scholar of his day, in the 1500s when Queen Elizabeth I ruled over England. Dee, working with a psychic partner named Edward Kelley, attempted to open communications with the angelic realm.
I learned from my initial research into Dee and Enochian magick that it is an astonishingly complicated subject, so I turned to an expert. Aaron Leitch is the author of several books in the field that attempt to make the study a little easier for the uninitiated. Leitch told me that in the apocryphal Book of Enoch the prophet Enoch is said to have communed with angels on a regular basis and even to have been taken up to heaven and given a tour of the place. The book was later rejected from the Biblical canon and it was impossible to find a copy anywhere after it had been outlawed by the early Church many centuries before Dee's time.
But Dee knew about the legendary Book of Enoch. He wrote in his journals that if Enoch, Ezekiel, Daniel and all the other prophets old had gotten their wisdom directly from angelic sources, why couldn't he do the same? So he began to explore occultism, reading medieval Christian magickal texts such as "The Keys of Solomon" and other sources that instructed the practitioner on how to call down angels and command demons.
Dee and Kelley would eventually create their own system for summoning angels that fused together the Jewish mystical work, the Kabbalah, along with the then current trends in Christian mysticism. Dee never called his system "Enochian Magick," however. That label was later applied by historians in reference to Dee's dedicated interest in the prophet's long lost book. But Dee saw himself as a faithful Christian even though his religious practices might have seemed a bit strange to his average fellow believers.
Having summoned the angels, either as a vision in Kelley's scrying stone (a variation on the more familiar crystal ball) or as audible speaking voices, Dee would write in his journal whatever the angels imparted. The problem quickly arose, however, that something besides the Queen's English was needed to make the conversations more authentic, more meaningful. What was to Dee a completely unknown tongue (sometimes called "The Language of Eden" because it was believed to have first been spoken by Adam in the Garden) was revealed to him by his angels. The language came to be called "Enochian" because it was given to the world by Dee in the course of his work.
"Angel Spells: The Enochian Occult Workbook of Charms, Seals, Talismans and Ciphers" includes the complete Enochian Keys, which are the requisite invocations to be spoken to summon the angels in both their preferred Edenic language and in English. There are also guides to pronouncing the Enochian words should you wish to experiment with all this a little yourself. According to author Aaron Leitch, who has written a two-volume study and analysis of the language called "The Angelic Language," one can bypass a great many of the complicated rituals, mathematics and encrypted instructions along with the language and still have a satisfactory angelic contact experience.
DID ENOCH HAVE AN ALIEN ABDUCTION EXPERIENCE?
And where do aliens fit in all this? The Book of Enoch has long been thought to contain elements of a typical alien abduction experience. Enoch is roused from his sleep by two angels and taken aloft to tour heaven. He is given information on the workings of the cosmos and then returned to his home. There is a school of UFOlogy that equates the angels who abducted Enoch and Biblical stories like Elijah's journey to heaven aboard a fiery chariot with basic elements of the present day UFO phenomenon. Dee sought to contact the same beings who had so graciously kidnapped Enoch, and it is left to us to wonder if he succeeded.
"Angel Spells" also tells the story of the legendary occultist Aleister Crowley's experiments with the Enochian magick he had learned while a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, an occult society founded in London in 1888. After Crowley broke with the Order, he continued to refine what he was taught until it became his own system. While on vacation with his wife in Cairo in April 1904, he received a surprising response to his many years of practicing Enochian magick: the appearance of "Aiwass," or "Aiwaz," a being Crowley regarded as super-human. The drawing that Crowley made in his journal at the time unmistakably resembles the familiar gray alien of our time. One is hard-pressed not to draw the conclusion that John Dee was most likely working with these same beings since he and Crowley were using such similar methods of summoning them. Crowley wrestled all his life with the nature of the Higher Beings he contacted, including Aiwass, and died in poverty in 1947.
SIMPLER RITUALS FOR CONTACTING ANGELS
The late William Alexander Oribello believed himself to be guided by angels from his childhood on and wrote several books for Tim Beckley that sought to teach others to do the same. Over the years, Oribello studied many sacred texts on communicating with the Angelic Kingdom. He discovered that there are certain times when they would be more readily available to come to our aid as well as offer guidance and support. Oribello always emphasized the importance of casting spells or praying while burning specific colored candles.
Oribello contributes a chapter to "Angel Spells" in which he summarizes his teachings regarding the Archangels, their influences, their association with various Zodiac signs and their relevance to specific days of the week. His chapter also features information about the type of candles to burn that will bring angels into our aura. He is able to make what could have been a strenuously complex cosmology into something charmingly simple and reassuring and even entertaining.
We are next given some female insight into all this by the Reverend Maria D'Andrea, an internationally known professional psychic from Budapest, Hungary. Maria gives simple step-by-step instructions on using some of Dee and Kelley's ritual objects and combining them with the angel symbols she created and which are included in her chapter. Maria follows that up with another chapter that teaches the reader to pray for safety and protection, how to use certain talismans and exactly which angel to summon for a specific purpose.
Here it is important to explain the "Workbook" part of the book's subtitle. Some of the ritual symbols in the book are intended to be photocopied onto cardstock or, preferably, virgin parchment. For example, there is a full-page reproduction of a symbol called the Sigillum Dei Aemaeth which was used by Dee in his Enochian rituals and is crucial to the magickal process. The idea is to photocopy the complex design and then use it as an altar in combination with the angelic symbols provided by Maria. This is all simpler than it might sound and does not require anything approaching the machinations of more pure forms of Enochian magick. One can also purchase the symbols already nicely printed out and thus avoid a trip to the photocopy store. Just check the ad in the back of "Angels Spells"
BISHOP ALLEN GREENFIELD DECODES THE ALIENS
A special bonus section consisting of a reprint of Bishop Allen Greenfield's landmark book "Secret Cipher of the UFOnauts" is also part of "Angel Spells." Greenfield holds the title of bishop in the Gnostic Church and has a long history of active - and contentious - membership in many occult organizations, including the Ordo Templi Orientis, established by Aleister Crowley.
Greenfield's "Secret Cipher of the UFOnauts" is a provocative magickal text for the modern age that has come to be regarded as a classic in the field and one which might be considered to have a particularly hip cachet. For a long time it was a rare and difficult book to track down but it is included in full in "Angel Spells."
The book explains Greenfield's theory that much of the UFO phenomenon can be "decoded" by using a method that draws on the Kabbalah, especially the numerology aspects of its Jewish mysticism, as well as other similar ancient systems. He believes the UFO occupants are an eternal race that has always reached out to certain human adepts by using hidden, obscure linguistic and mathematical symbolism, including elements of Crowley's version of Enochian magick
THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
Can contact with angels/aliens ever be something where we, as mere mortals, are an independent part of the conversation? Do we have the ability to bring such heavenly beings into our presence and then engage them in a dialogue in which they freely reveal what we are so eager to learn? Or does that sound a little too good to be true? Maybe you can answer that for yourself after reading "Angel Spells: The Enochian Occult Workbook of Charms, Seals, Talismans and Ciphers" and experimenting with some of the tools in the book.
However, be careful to approach all this with caution and to follow the instructions and rituals carefully. If you succeed in summoning an angel or two, you may find yourself in the company of something much more powerful than you ever imagined, an entity who is no respecter of persons and whose concerns and priorities are very different from your own. To quote Aaron Leitch, some of these angels can "fry your brain out with a single thought." But you may also experience ecstatic visions and draw inexpressibly nearer to God. The decision as to whether to take the risk is entirely your own.

What it is?
The story follows adventures of Okashi and her loyal brother Kishimura who are in fact playing a new game called "The Clans II" which game out in their city. They want to play it so badly that they are not even bothering to take the trash out which is rotting on their kitchen inside the house.
No time they get hooked to that game and their first mission is to bring back a few missing clan members. They forget passing of time and begin to roleplay their "roles" immediately. Eventually they meet Okami and CO in that game and get hooked even more. However something sinister is brewing in the shadows and their first quest is just the beginning.
PLEASE NOTE THAT EVERY BUST WILL BE CUSTOM MADE TO HAVE A QUALITY LIKE THIS.
GAME ALSO WILL HAVE CUSTOM CHARSETS AND TILESET STUFF.
CODEX
Spoiler
CLAN MEMBERS
Clan members often get contracted by the king or other people for a right price. It can range from simple delivery quests to waging a war. When not dealing with other clan members, their position is that of just below the king which makes most relatively still new clan members rather arrogant at times.
CLAN COLLAR
Clan members wear their respective clans collars as a proof they belong to their clans. Clan collars are magically sealed to prevent spies and defections.
SPELL PISTOL
Magic users can use these things to amplify their magic further. These things were popularized by Technomages who likes to mix technology with a magic. However places a tremendous strain to its wielder if overused, thus most Magic users who likes to use these things need their mana replenished way more often.
KING STEVE
A once fair king who ruled well then suddenly a few decades ago became very stinky and villagers who had so much expenses did need to resort to shady deals due higher taxes imposed by the king.
KING STEVE'S ARMY
His army is entrusted to the royal guard. While it is their duty to protect villagers and more, their main duty is to ensure that the clans stay under control.
THE ROYAL GUARD

These guys are extremely loyal for their king and one of main reasons he is still ruling despite of past decades of heavy mismanagement.
HERESY
Those who are immortal are referred simply as heretics. It is power bestowed by the demons and thus forbidden. However most would be heretics try to hide the fact.
CHARACTERS
OKASHI / YAMI TSUGI CLAN

Okashi's brother who believes that his duty is to stand as a shield for his rather ungrateful sister. Believes to following the orders even when he personally disagrees with them.
JOEY HANDSOME / YAMI TSUGI CLAN
Joined to Yami Tsugi clan because dubious reasons. Top of that he is male which makes situation even weirder. Tries to get loved by Okashi but so far his attempts have failed due being generally very creepy guy.
OKAMI HYOU / CHI TSUGI CLAN
A foolish person who happens be also from a rich family who has close ties with Chi Tsugi clan. She does almost anything as long she gets paid for it.
KITSUNE / RAI TSUGI CLAN
A rather sarcastic fellow, likes to hang out with Okami Hyou for some strange reason. She doesn't care about her supposed quest to beat her Kung-Fu master in a duel to take over Dojo like traditions say.
MAHOU / YAMI TSUGI CLAN
A mage with slight tendency towards pyromancy. However overall she is rather stable and modest person who does not brag about her power that much however she suffers from various phobias at times like fear of ghosts.
BUTSU / RAI TSUGI CLAN
She is supposed to be an archeologist but is really bad at it. Has thieving tendencies even though her main hobbies include reading and throwing books at enemies.
GENERAL BASTARDO / VAMPIRE CLAN
He is Deaux Excimus' brother and has great plans to assume more powerful position and might even try to convince members of the other clans to aid him. Has a long standing grudge with Deaux Excimus about who is better to lead their branch of the clan.
DEAUX EXCIMUS / VAMPIRE CLAN
Often takes someone as her nemesis because of wrong reasons which she deludes itself to be right ones. Most of her minions don't get a second chance if they fail and thus her "trusted" Vampires often hide their failures from her.

We've recently joined a small book-discussion group in Beckley WV. We thought of the members as very open-minded--that is, until we played for them a portion of the School's tape "Walk through the Bible", a talk by the late Reverend Ron Parshley. At that point we found some of them were not at all open-minded. In his inimitable fashion, Ron the trained Jesuit priest showed that the Bible consists mostly of plagiarized folk stories concerning a tribal war god, cobbled together into some kind of narrative. His piece on the exodus and on the ark are classics of their kind.
We had thought that most people were aware of these flaws in the purported holy book, even those people who in their inquisitorial role caused millions of individuals to be burned in the middle ages. We were wrong. If you would like to explore these topics and to understand why we think what we think, we suggest these four books.

Why the "normals" (and even these thoughtful authors whom I list) persist in calling Jehovah "God" is really beyond us. He's the only game in town? Come on.

There is simply so much bad theology out there it taken us this long to get to the 'how to." Much of the how to, I've already mentioned, so here I'll just summarize. We need not do much hand-wringing if we keep some basic stuff in mind.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them." Ephesians 2:8-10
First, this means is that we have to realize that God does not lead everybody. (Eph. 2:1-10)
The works prepared beforehand apply to Christians-they are result of faith, not the cause.
As we follow the Lord he will providentially give us opportunities to do good works that he ordained in eternity past. We can confident then that what ever we do for his glory is indeed within His will, whether it's in Moldavia or your home town!
Second, our walk with God
"Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, let the Holy Spirit fill and control you. "(Eph. 5:18)"
Essentially this means the daily dying to self, turning from sin and pursuing righteousness. It means not being prideful, following our fleshly desires instead of walking in the Spirit. As noted earlier, sometimes people seek to sanctify or spiritualize their desires to get what they want. That's delusion and contradicts the actions of love in 1 Cor. 13:4-8.
Third, recognize God's Sovereignty
He owns it all. He ordains all that comes to pass. He does not need us to accomplish His will but chooses to do so. This takes the pressure off us. Remember that God ordains the ends as well as the means so it need not be a spooky process to discover God's will!
Fourth, pray for Wisdom and Providence
Remember again that God ordains the ends and the means. Here is how author Dave Swavely so aptly puts it.
"...the purpose of prayer is not to change God or His plan. Instead, our prayer is one of the ways God has chosen to accomplish His plan in the world...Through prayer we have the privilege of being part of God's great work, as we pray, we grow to be more like him." --Decisions, Decisions, P. Dave Swavely
This is how God put is through the apostle Paul, and James:
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." James 1:5 (NASB)
Fifth, remember Scripture is Sufficient 2 Tim 3:16-17
In this way, I mean God's gives us all the guidance we need from His word and from God honoring principles extracted from His Word. By studying it and hiding it away in our hearts we can be reasonably sure our desires and His are the same.
Matt 28:19-20 says for example that we are to make disciples everywhere we can. Clearly, if that's our desire, it sure is God's and will give us the opportunities.
Ps. 37:4 "says "Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Note that a prerequisite for good decision making is to have a delight in the Lord.
Matthew Henry: To delight in God is as much a privilege as a duty. He has not promised to gratify the appetites of the body, and the humours of the fancy, but the desires of the renewed, sanctified soul. What is the desire of the heart of a good man? It is this, to know, and love, and serve God.

"Entire For Everyone" Herbal Refreshment
By Bruce Baar, MS, ND
It was a day in delayed Gait of 1929, utterly at the beginning of extremely, in the role of the inactive Edgar Cayce free an herbal model considered for each whoop it up and spare collective use. Skip ["5450"], the reading beneficiary, was a wet behind the ears living thing of 19 go whose shower was marred by a strong case of shower blemishes that she was honestly wretched to object.
