I can't help myself.  I see them, I SEE them, Nigel, and I just HAVE TO DO IT! (spittle flying)

I JUST HAVE TO TAKE OFF MY CLOTHES AND ATTACK THE NOOBS!

And you parents out there, who would allow your children to listen to TGRR CDs, why you oughta be taken out and HORSEWHIPPED!

So you are saying all of this pertains to having a lot of free time and energy alongside a boner.

Interesting.

Also having not one iota of a fucking clue is a prerequisite.

Grant Morrison speaking recently on Magick and whatnot.

Probably not really related, I just enjoy listening to him ramble

Point taken. I just think about all the people who comment on amazon about the simonomicon and the stuff that happened to them after they bought it. To be sure a good chunk is a bit of the troll but you know a good portion of them actually believe what theyre saying.

So I thought "ooh I gotta see those comments" and searched a bit, but then I got distracted, as the "publisher" of this simon necronomicon is apparently called "Schlangenkraft".

And that's one bit in the I3 that always confused me, the "EWIGE BLUMENKRAFT, EWIGE SCHLANGENKRAFT" part. Anyone know what's that about, or what it is a reference to?

The only thing I could come up with is that BLUMENKRAFT could be a faux-German pun on "Flower Power" ?

(also, one of my favourite Psydub producers, OTT, named his first album Blumenkraft, but then, on the Twisted Records DVD interview he wore a Pope shirt, and there's a few more "signals from Bob"/Discordia references in the titles and texts on his other albums)

And then comes the fun part, so I searched "Schlangenkraft" on DDG ... Anyone remember that Postmodernism Literary Deconstruction generator? Well, whoever wrote that put something referencing "Schlangenkraft" in the sources/references generation part, and since everybody and their dog posted the output of that software all over the far corners of the Interwebs, it's completely drowned out any of the original signal for "Schlangenkraft" Now THAT is magic ...

Ooh it gets even better pomo generator names "Schlangekraft", if you look for "SchlangeNkraft" you get the I3 references, jeez.

And WIkipedia explains, if you use the right spelling

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewige_Blumenkraft

(In the I3) it's indeed "flower power" and the "Schlangenkraft" ("serpent power") refers to either sexual energy (hey again), or the kundalini, or in fact any occult symbolism with a snake in it, really.

Agreed! That's cybersorcery and/or technomancy, in action, right there!

Actually it's rather weak sorcery.

Or maybe mine's just stronger *cough*, I was personally taught by the very best Internet Wizard, the legendary ~S~eeker Fravia+  ...

See as I wrote that paragraph in the prev post, I remembered the "spell" to quickly and easily cut through the noise--developed for cutting away spam, which in fact bears a spooky resemblance to a PoMo generator ... can you guess it?

Just the same with any kind of hacking and/or stage magic, as soon as you know how it's done, it's so mundane

I thought I remembered reading in the appendix that it was hitting power, so flower power (peace) forever and hitting power (violence) forever.

YOU FUCKERS KNOW WHAT'S MAGICKAL?

INTESTINAL BLOCKAGES CAUSED BY DEHYDRATION.

ALLA YOU FUCKERS IN UTAH, PREPARE TO MEET CANADA.  ALL OF YOU FUCKERS IN MEXICO, PREPARE TO MEET PANAMA.

Good one Trip.

And I agree. Who says we ever stopped. Just because what were doing doesn't look like "magick" to the OP just means he or she won't see our shit coming.
