Bit late, but just catching up. Mythconceptions - Mythchaser. Did victorian corsets make women faint? I can only speak from my own experience. I have made and worn victorian corsets. The wasp waisted ones, pulled as tight as possible, (5 inch waist reduction) did not make me faint, but they...

Has anyone else read Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA and the Secret History of the Sixties by Tom O'Neill? If you did, what did you think of it? I found some of the new evidence to be quite extraordinary. The story of Manson's parole officer is particularly fascinating, and indicative of strange...

The Hermetic is a really interesting deck. Has a lot of scope for focus, meditation and such like. I thought it was better artistically than the Regardie GD tarot.

Husband used to do this to me. Then I threatened to beat him to death.

Really? I thought it was anti clockwise. That's how I got the dog's out. The head came out. I'm going to have to check this. That's very worrying.

Gawd... I had to get a sheep tick out of the dog a couple of days ago. Vile. Big fat one.

I used to visit a small bluebell wood in wales. There was an ash tree. It had a strange shaped branch. We called it the elbow tree because of this. Sometimes the tree was there, but other times it didn't seem to be. I used to hunt for it. One day I found it somewhere it wasn't meant to be. I...

That's so incredibly sad.

The car appears from the side road that the camera car eventually stops at.

They look like great places! But the Highwayman isn't part of a chain. It's 50 years of continued family eccentricity. http://www.thehighwaymaninn.net/history-2/

It is!!! It is very, very wonderful, incredible and fortean! Everyone must go there!!!!

The Highwayman pub, in Sourton, Devon. Just on the edge of Dartmoor. Most amazing place. Buy a drink and you can park up for the night for free. This place is an endless warren of the weird amd peculiar. The food is great, the staff are friendly. There is a statue of death lurking in one...

I used to be active on a tarot forum. I collected, I bought and sold collectible decks on ebay. I have probably owned over 100 decks, though not at the same time. I know collectors who own 1000 or more. I used to read them, the Thoth was my reading deck. I don't own any decks now except an old...

Cow sphincters make beautiful bracelets.

Yeah, it sounds interesting. Let me know what you find, please! Edit, also I didn't mean to suggest that was where you had read it. It was just something that came up on google, that vaguely supported what you had said.

From Sex on the Couch: What Freud Still Has To Teach Us About Sex and Gender By Richard Boothby But its totally unreferenced.

If you were reading page 17, I am pretty sure it could invoke a giant spider under the conditions and with the people you describe. Perhaps you should do a LBRP.

And there is this Khaos Magick & Urban Shamanism. Khaos Magick & Urban Shamanism. Written by Frater Sheosyrath Edited by Frater Alysyrose

I want to believe.

Have you got an author, or a link for that? There are a number of books/papers with similar titles. Though I have to admit I"m dissappointed. I had my money on Condensed Chaos by Phil Hine.

Wow! What a spooky place! Thank you for posting about it. Here is an interesting factoid about Port Arthur. It was named after Sir George Arthur 1st Baronet of Upper Canada, who was the govenor there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_George_Arthur,_1st_Baronet In November 1888, in...

Fascinating story. For a moment I thought it was going to go all Wolf Creek on me! I'm glad it didn't.

I believe you! I have been faced down by the beady eye of one of his minions. It would not let us leave the chip shop. It stood in the doorway in a menacing fashion. The chip shop guy said we were best off just throwing it a chip and then it would let us out. So we did, and it did let us go...

A few years ago I was priveleged to crap on a genuine crapper. It was an original feature in an old house owned by some friends. It was a highly decorative, surprisingly comfortable, well flushing talking point.

Thank you. The seagull is particularly weird. Unless it symbolises air, I suppose.

Lol. Apparently it's like the Archimedes lever that moves the world. Theoretical only.

Yes!!! Someone said to me ages ago, that if the hand of a clock was long enough the tip would go faster then the speed of light. I said it would fall off because it was so long. They said that wasn't the point. It was a thought experiment.

Can't believe no one has yet menitioned the Georgia Guidestones, and their first 'rule'. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

I cam find pictures of the plaque, but what was the second item? I can't find any picture of it.

No! I really enjoy it. I love arguing with people who try to tell me the apocalypse is coming. It's a hobby.

Witchcraft and Black Magic by Montague Summers talks about hell fire clubs and satanists at Oxford, and briefly mentions a black mass at Godstow. But he doesn't seem to say how he knows about it.

You summoned up the chao spider.

Well, my next gambit would have been to argue that William III, as a grandson of Charles I, was indeed a legitimate Stuart king. But I suppose I don't need to bother now.

This is something I have discussed with people before. I dont know about other countries, but here in England the seasons starting at the cross-quarter festivals always made more sense that at the quarters. At the beginning of Feb we get the first flowers, the snowdrops and stuff. Around May...

Nice article on Charles Walton. Also I really want to live in one of those weeny little castle houses. And poor garbage dog... It made me sad. Ah!! I just made the connection between here and the piece on the Edinburgh society! Omg, I'm slow! Lol! Nice to see Forteans in the wild!

The mowing devil may be the first report of a crop circle. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mowing-Devil I've sen a few in Wiltshire. Always believed they were human made art works. Very clever stuff, though.

Archive of 9/11 photos found at a house clearance sale. They appear to have been taken by a member of the clean up crew. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-48689783

Sadly, they never worked for me...

Extraordinary! Nature is an amazing thing.

I've heard about this! It's an interesting theory. I also heard a theory that said he didn't cut off his own ear. Gaugin did it, during a fight. and Vincent covered up for him. I don't know how much truth there is to that idea, or wether it can ever be known, but he was certainly an...

Thank you! That is really fascinating. I have never heard of a crown flash before. I have bookmarked the NOTAMS site, and if we see them again I will check there. Thank you very much!

Spent a lot of time recently talking to a mormon lad. Mostly because we were both playing the same game and would end up talking to each other. I teased him mercilessly, of course. But he took it well. And I have to say that I ended up with a great deal of respect for him, and for the strength...

Yes! That is very creepy.

Hmmm. I think there may be a difference between french and english terminology in heraldry. I will look futher into it. Heraldry is fast becoming my new big thing. As far as I can make out, lions have manes and leopards don"t. Or at least that's what the pictures seem to show. Have you seen a...

Spoiler alert! I think Prince Harry turns out to be Satan.

Interesting. A little googling tells me that this is the same guy, or at least the same theory. Which is great, cos its all written down and I don't have to work through the videos.

Ah, well. Hmmmm... I'm not a believer. I've got no particular axe to grind. It's just that I was brought up with all this stuff. I enjoy a good 'living in the last days' discussion. 50 years ago I was told I was living in the last days. I sort of believed it then because I was 5. Still...
