The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

Nor will it be reported on the internet. For months now I have been saying that, like the John Lennon Song, the power to change what is happening in our country will be exercised by its people. After all, the United States is astrologically a Cancer and Cancer is the sign of “the people.” Think [...]

Power to the People

When I mentioned to my husband that The U.S. vs. John Lennon was about to hit the theaters, his reaction was, “The timing couldn’t be better.” So true when you consider that a film about a U.S. government plan to deport an inconvenient voice for truth is being released the same week that Congress is [...]

Choose Life

On the 5th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, Wired published its own color coded alert system in order to shed a little perspective on the public’s fear of dying at the hand of a terrorist. Even in a post 9-11 world, one is still more likely to get run over by a bus or [...]

Rumsfeld’s Fickle Fingers of Fate

Being first and foremost a palmist, I am always looking for photos where I can see some detail about the hands of the rich and powerful. In this photo, taken in 2003, we can clearly see the curve of the first and second fingers of Donald Rumsfeld’s left hand. The first, or index finger, is [...]

What will be the Symbol for Eris?

The newly monikered dwarf planet Eris will surely need a symbol to denote it’s place in astrological charts. I came across this symbol, called the Five Fingered Hand of Eris. One side of me wonders if the Discordians hold a copyright on it. Another side of me thinks that filing a copyright is not the [...]

In Honor of Eris

It only seems fitting. One must have chaos in one to give birth to a dancing star. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

FNORD

The dwarf planet formerly known as Xena received its official name today: Eris. Eris is the Goddess of Discord, after whom an entire alternative religion has been named. If you’ve ever attended a Discordian Ritual, you will understand why I am holding my head between my hands. Eris love to make trouble. Whenever she appears, [...]

Don’t Forget to Wash Your Hands

A University of Toronto study has validated what those of us who work with ritual have known for some time; immersing your body under running water is good for the soul. The study, originally published in the journal Science, reveals that washing one’s hands after commiting or even just contemplating an unethical act could ease [...]

Rummy’s Karmic Job Security

Donald Rumsfeld made headlines recently when, in a speech before the American Legion, he compared critics of the war in Iraq to appeasers of Adolf Hitler. Reactions were immediate and intense with Democrats planning to call for a vote of no confidence on the Secretary of Defense. Many in the media began to refer to [...]

Remember This

Wired News is not necessarily the first place you think of looking for words of wisdom regarding the state of the world, but on August 24th they published an editorial titled, Refuse to be Terrorized, that should be read by every American concerned about the growing violence in the world. Author Bruce Schneier has written [...]
