Goddess Murder, 21. Aquinas

Last updated on: October 5, 2013 at 7:38 pm By Aidan Kelly

XXIII. Aquinas The mind of the world is Zeus, and all things are besoul’d and full of spirits. Thales The ancient Poets animated all sensible objects with Gods or Geniuses . . . Till a system was formed, which some took advantage of and enslav’d the vulgar . . . thus began Priesthood, choosing forms of worship from poetic tales. And at length they pronounc’d that the Gods had ordered such things. Thus men forgot that all deities reside in... Read more

Goddess Murder, 20: The Flight to Egypt

Last updated on: October 4, 2013 at 5:19 pm By Aidan Kelly

[An excerpt from The Acts of Mary, as translated by C.T. Edwards, A. Healy, L. Moresco, and S. Weiss] XXII. After the council meeting, the brothers who preached to the Gentiles continued on their way. We continued on with ours, confident that we were keeping the mysteries he had taught us, no matter what the men students and the Gentiles might say. During the following years, as word came back to us of what Saul had continued teaching, I sorrowed... Read more

On the Nature of Gender

Last updated on: September 26, 2013 at 1:37 pm By Aidan Kelly

What set this blog off was my weeping with joy for Cassidy Campbell. Seeing how beautiful Cassidy is, I thought to look at some of the online transgender groups. Seeing all these exquisite teenagers, whether they call themselves boys or girls, I could weep, knowing what hell they must have survived, and rejoice for their courage and the fact that they have now been able to make their own choices, thank the Gods. The walls of bigotry are crumbling faster... Read more

Goddess Murder, 19: After Circle

Last updated on: September 20, 2013 at 7:51 pm By Aidan Kelly

XXI. After Circle After the circle was dismissed, we all put our clothes back on again, I with great relief. Now I could talk to Andy face to face again. I walked over to her, saying, “Well, that was . . . beyond interesting. I don’t have a vocabulary to describe exactly what I felt or what I think I perceived.” “Was that your first Craft circle, Eddie?” Andy asked. “Yes, it was. I couldn’t have guessed from reading that... Read more

Autobiography by Email: More from Demian Allan Moonbloode

Last updated on: September 19, 2013 at 7:46 am By Aidan Kelly

I have been a wytch since I was 14 years old. I was searching for the wytches I saw in the magazine [Look] in the early 70s. Through Seph I found them in 1974 at the Yule Sabbat, [and] by the end of 1975, I was in Isis Rising, where I was initiated as a White Cord. Read more

In Memory of Allan Lowe / Demian Moonbloode

Last updated on: September 15, 2013 at 6:19 pm By Aidan Kelly

Artemisia phoned me yesterday morning to let me know that Allan had passed over, because, she said, I was one of the rather few people he considered a friend and had asked her to call. Since his health had been declining for years, this was not a surprise, but it was nevertheless sad. Allan had sent me a memoir to be used in my Hippie Commie social history of the NROOGD. In it he said that he had seen the... Read more

XX. From The Acts of Mary [Excerpts from The Acts of Mary as translated by C.T. Edwards, A. Healy, L. Moresco, and S. Weiss] My husband, Joshua, was not the most handsome man I had ever seen, but the power of his personality made up for that. He radiated confidence, joy, safety. We knew he was a true prophet who spoke with the voice of God. All men and women who heard him wanted to follow him, just to be near him, but... Read more

God, if this world were truly human, We’d all just go to bed together Whenever we felt like it and wonder How people could think it normal To suffer continual raging thirst. I arrived at Brendan and Megan’s at... Read more

The Ocean Level and World Temperature Have Been Rising for 20,000 Years.

Last updated on: September 9, 2013 at 6:34 am By Aidan Kelly

All our major coastal cities will eventually be flooded. New York’s subways flooded not only because of Sandy, but because the ocean level is a foot higher than when the subways were built. One can estimate that, at two feet per century, most of Manhattan will be submerged in about 1000 years. What is the long-term solution? Read more

XVIII. From the Acts of Mary [An excerpt from The Acts of Mary as translated byC.T. Edwards, A. Healey, L. Moresco, and S. Weiss] Chapter V. On one day a man in the crowd called out to me, “What about divorce? Did your Mashiach allow divorce?” I replied, “Why do you ask about divorce? Why do you not ask about marriage? Great is the mystery of marriage. Without marriage, the world would not exist. Do you not know that the... Read more
