@Arotrios @Hotrod_Jesus Goddammit. There's little on this earth that can make me cry these days, but re-watching this for the first time since I was a little kid got my face all wet. Fuck y'all. I'm not crying, you're crying.

@livus Your poetry makes for an excellent lyrical basis for a ritual artwork I've been conceptualizing. Do you mind me using it?

Full accreditation to you as the poet, of course. Goblin Jane, aka @thewellandthetree, has crafted an excellent sigil here:

...that she's graciously permitted me to use in crafting the ritual, and the combination with your words could be potent.

@BuckarooBanzai Great song - thought you'd dig the original that @REEL just posted:

@Arotrios

It was Wednesday when you posted, you drunken old bat
And Roxy's serves coffee to the gutterpunk rats
There's holes in your story, and your memory sings flat
Think maybe its time to stop hitting the flask?

As for me, I come from the trees
Oaks and redwoods and blackberry leaves
My heart sprouting mushrooms and bumblebees
Casting sunflower seeds
to the titmice and the chickadees
Sculpting the mist of the ocean breeze
into impossible possibilities

With songs all wrong and upside down
For I was hiding from Hekate in a crossroad town
Till a fae cat cast their myrhh all around
Now she's telling me she's up to get down
And I'd be a Fool to ignore the sound
of magick unbound

So here you go
you drunken old crow
Let the lyrics flow
Like a leopard across the snow

@Hotrod_Jesus understandable, but even demigods are at risk when they don't follow proper ritual procedure. The last time I accidentally summoned a d'jinn without proper protection, it ended up dragging me from Joshua Tree all the way up to Seattle and back. If I hadn't been lucky and stumbled across the grave of a forgotten goddess (Illipatae) in the Sisikyous, it's likely I would be still wandering... or at the bottom of Crater Lake.

But yeah, I get it, you were a young man and mad at your dad and decided to get high and try to figure everything out. Negative entities love guys with chips on their shoulders - easy prey. I'd suggest you work on your personal issues with your father before attempting another summoning.

@Sasquatch on the hunt tonight, ey? Run silent and swift, great Che-ha-lum'che. Too few of your kind remain.

@Hotrod_Jesus So, you know what you did wrong, right? The fourth temptation, after the flame - when the satan / djinn appeared as a tree. You crossed over your protective circle to eat the fruit, leaving yourself open to the djinn's possession, and ended up with a mouth full of blood and a date on the cross. The first rule of ritual magick club is we don't cross the white line.

Remember folks, when on a vision quest, protection should always be your first consideration. Never break your protective circle, and for chrissake never ever eat anything presented by otherworldly beings. There's a long tradition of would be visionaries lost when they decided it would be fun to go party with the pixies and hit the buffet.
