• Halloween Hot Potato (10/29/25)

  Halloween is slowly transforming into something new. Catholics and some other denominations of Christianity are now claiming that the festival is itself is, and always was, a Christian holiday. Other Christians are maintaining their claims that it is an evil holiday that should be avoided at all costs. Still, many non-religious, or even satanists, embrace the day as evil. What if all of these arguments miss the point of Halloween? Also, a recent viral post about kids in MAGA-costumes being given laced-candy is nothing more than a modern legend about the razor-in-an-apple, something candy companies certainly profited off for decades, but which was nothing more than an urban legend. The way that people respond to the laced-candy story seems to be a political cope, just as the “Halloween is Christian” hashtag is a religious cope. In both cases, and in one way, we can witness the natural evolution of tradition and legend. In another way, it is a sort of Halloween hot potato. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

• Cosmic Horrors & Torn Veils (10/28/25)

  Neural Networks and AI have a keen ability to generate the monster of HP Lovecraft, probably because these cosmic horrors are described by inconceivable colors, surreal visages, and non-Euclidean shapes. These are also often our descriptions of the underworld, netherworld, upsidedown, and spirit realm. We reach it in dreams, NDEs, via certain substances, or through other unintentional but natural methods. It appears that technology can allow us to tap into this world, too, implying that it is both a real place and an extension of the mind, perhaps another reality that consciousness can explore - or the backend of a computer program. The geometry and therianthropes of the shaman can be seen abstractly in AI-Lovecraft, which appears etheric, ghost-like, and not well-defined, precisely the descriptions our ancestors gave of the changing seasons - especially Halloween. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

• Costume Conundrum or Wardrobe Malfunction: A Witchcraft Primer (10/27/25)

  The story of a young man who dressed as an SS officer for Halloween, and was assaulted, is the pulse of our society. In a time where a man can dress as a psychopath or murderer, a woman as a degenerate whore, an historical costume of fine detail is rejected with violence by mobs of hysterical, brain dead drones. Worse still, the man was charged with assault despite the woman he supposedly assaulted assaulting him on camera - itself part of another issue that involves double standards for men and women in society. It shows the acceptability of violence if it is considered justified and the violence against men if the same is considered justified. Hindu and Buddhist swastikas, or the Manji, are treated in like manner by ignorance. Otherwise, it’s perfectly acceptable to wave flags with a hammer and sickle that represent an ideology that not only killed hundreds of millions of people in the 20th century alone, but that is making a resurgence today with terrifying numbers of people demanding its implementation. Furthermore, these things have been blamed somehow on Islam when its founders were actually close to being exclusively Jewish. Similar reactions of screaming and curses can be found on the religious right when confronted by witch costumes. What is happening here if not the reactions of cult adherents? Underlying these topics is the lack of definition about many of things we accept or condemn by reflex action. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

• Halloween Religare (10/23/25)

  The huge rightwing backlash over the President lighting Diwali candles has exposed a new phase of collapse in American society and the rule of law. What were calls to ban Islam, deport Muslims, and prevent their entry, has grown louder to now include Hindus and anyone else not worshiping one narrow fragment of Christianity. For all those who, by the Constitution, defended Christian conservatism it is a huge slap in the face. Mostly because the right has quickly become the worst version of itself and exactly what the left accused. However, it appears there are other players here too. A recent education report card shows that a third of American students are so illiterate they cannot even comprehend the basic order of events in a single passage or summary. Mix this with revamped religious zealotry and you have uneducated maniacs ready to fight a holy war over texts they can hardly even read. The theme we are seeing unfold is that the United States and Constitution are old news and that all efforts should be focused on starting armageddon by blindly following the nation-state of Israel. The words of pastor John Hagee at the Christians United for Israel conference demand Americans to accept that Jews are not merely chosen but “above all the people on the face of the earth,” including the “United States of America.” This ideology aligns with an Israeli firm’s plan to target Christians across the U.S. with Christian propaganda in excess of the Scofield Bible. The firm is called Show Faith Works, and rather than it being yet another holocaust reminder, it is a Jesus and Israel reminder with mobile museums and workshops. If all other religions can be condemned, including certain sects of Christianity, by the natural Christian reaction, mixed with Judaic propaganda, to damn all but Jesus, then what remains of Christianity will be nothing but a puppet with an Israeli hand. Furthermore, the arguments being made against religions like Hinduism or the festival of Diwali are tantamount to children not understanding why they shouldn’t play in the road. The extreme right has even sunken so low as to be prepared to rewrite the Constitution for Christ.  *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.
