Details are everything.

While this home has been successfully "trepanned," as recommended in Chapter 12, the busted gutters render moot the vital benefits of the operation. If this home is ever to achieve "higher consciousness," it is crucial that the drainage system remain in good working order.

From the upcoming Feng Shui for Occultists, by Gen Galloway.

Standing Headline: Satanists Fail.


Now unable even to shock/titillate.

Since Evil firmly took the world in its grasp back in about 1963, citizen Satan-worshippers have become as obsolete as flying buttresses.

Smack! Down! Dion Fortune Style.

We were just on our way up to Chesed ourselves when we came across this passage in The Mystical Qabalah:

19. It is to the Sphere of Chesed that the exalted consciousness of the adept rises in his occult meditations; it is here that he receives the inspirations which he works out on the planes of form. It is here that he meets the Masters as spiritual influences contacted telepathically, without any intermingling of personality. This is the true, and the highest, mode of contact with the Masters, contact with them as mind to mind in their own sphere of exalted consciousness. When the Masters are seen clairvoyantly as robed beings, the colours of whose robes indicate their ray, they are being perceived reflected into the sphere of Yesod, which is the kingdom of phantasms and hallucinations. We are treading on precarious ground when we have to meet the Masters here. It is here that the anthropomorphic form is given to the spiritual inspiration which so misleads those psychics who cannot rise to Chesed. It is thus that the announcement of a spiritual impulse flowing out upon the world gets interpreted as the coming of a World Teacher.

Oh yes. She did.
