			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I may be changing the format of this blog again as my life has taken a huge turn. I now live off the grid in a small house which Cyndi and I have built ourselves. I do have partial net access while I am at my Mothers, but the time here is very limited so I have been focusing on other things (like the <a href="http://www.occultcorpus.com/forum/" title="A forum for Occult Practitioners of all Paths and Persuasions">forums</a> I am a part of).</p>
<p>I am unsure whether or not I&#8217;ll start updating this blog or my <a href="http://qryztufre.livejournal.com/" title="Qryztufre's normal journal">livejournal</a> either way though the posts will certainly not be as often as they once were.</p>
<p>I have started a <a href="http://www.homesteading.us/" title="Homesteading in East Tennessee">homesteading site</a>, though it&#8217;s not got much in the way of content just yet. However, Cyndi and myself will start updating that with back-dated posts so that you all can see what all we have been through in the last three months or so.</p>
<p>If I do have time I&#8217;ll post some pagan/occult news here though, it&#8217;s just I barely have time for such things these days.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> People in magickal circles talk about magickal protection, healing, and other spells and rituals that can aid in making one safe from all sorts of harm, though sometimes magick is not enough, or at least some times it can take more then just a few herbs, a crystal, and some fancy words to make such protections truly happen. Even without magick, it can sometimes take more then just the &#8220;self&#8221; to keep one free from harm. So with that, self defense should be looked at through as many angles as possible.</p>
<p>A while back I had worries over the safety of a dear friend that arose from a rather stange dream. And while I know they have panic buttons for your car alarm, personal alarm systems, and the like those were not something that would work, as she was living in the middle of nowhere and should something of happened, no one would have been around to hear her yell for help, let alone some wailing electronic device.</p>
<p>So with that, I wrote a poem (based on that dream) and looked into other methods that could call for help should the need arise.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin-left: 40px">    Worry (1) 4-31-05</p>
<p>You talked in your sleep last night<br />
You had a dream<br />
I talked to you of your plight<br />
It was a bad dream<br />
I now worry about you<br />
You getting harmed<br />
You spoke of the things he&#8217;d do<br />
Now I&#8217;m alarmed<br />
There are things that can be done<br />
Take this advice<br />
There&#8217;s things that can&#8217;t be undone<br />
Don&#8217;t roll the dice<br />
I can&#8217;t take this chance of risk<br />
Listen to me<br />
I will try to make this brisk<br />
To make you see<br />
You need a PERS for your purse<br />
Your protection<br />
And there is nothing else worse<br />
You can not run<br />
So protect yourself my dear<br />
So please, this do<br />
So *we* do not have to fear<br />
And I love you</p></blockquote>
<p>Worried about a loved one? a friend? Family member? Are you yourself prone to accident, or maybe your mother is growing feeble and you are concerned that she may harm herself?</p>
<p>You may want to look into a PERS system. It stands for Personal Emergency Response System. You can find a bit about it by reading up on it from the following links.<br />
FTC: <a href="http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/services/pers.htm">http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/services/pers.htm</a><br />
Pueblo: <a href="http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/cic_text/health/pers/pers.htm">http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/cic_text/health/pers/pers.htm</a></p>
<p>Or if you are interested in buy one you can find one here. <a href="http://www.americanmedicalalarms.com">http://www.americanmedicalalarms.com</a></p>
<p>I got that site from the <a href="http://www.bbbonline.org/consumer/Relresult.asp?letter=A" title="Visti the BBB">BBBonline</a> page&#8230;so they got a good track record. AND they happen to be one of the cheapest systems available (that I found).</p>
<p>Because I care&#8230;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last weekend Lakota got the chance to bake cookies with my Mom. My mom didn&#8217;t have the normal cookie recipes as the recipe book still seems to be packed away someplace, so she got some pre-made cookies. Some with reindeer, some with Santa.</p>
<p>They were pretty basic and already had a design, but that did not stop the girls from decorating them some more. Once they were cooled and I got a chance to grab one I could not believe my eyes!</p>
<p>It was not the image of Jesus of the Virgin Mary that most would assume to see the visage of on something christmasy, it was none other then the Thing That Should Not Be himself&#8230; Dread Cthulhu!</p>

Magick is all around us, and it does not really take all that much to see it. I’m not talking about pretty <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/BushwhackerJohn/Road%20Trips/10-21-07%20Cades%20Cove/221.jpg" title="fallen fall leaves">colored leaves that have fallen into the creek</a>, and I’m referring to the <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/BushwhackerJohn/Road%20Trips/10-21-07%20Cades%20Cove/cadescove10_21_07053.jpg" title="Looking up in Autumn">autumn leaves</a> that have turned color, but have not fallen, but there is magick in that as well. No, I’m talking about talking…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>A simple hello and a smile can make a dim day bright, even if that hello is too a stranger. On <a href="http://qryztufre.livejournal.com/227865.html" title="My Live Journal Entry on the trip to Cades Cove">a recent trip to Cades Cove with the family</a> Lakota and I sat in the back of the van with the door open. When we passed by random hikers, bikers, and people riding horseback we talked to them. Most of the time it was little more then a How-dee-doo but at other times we asked them relevant questions to the days outing, like whether or not they saw the giraffe a few miles back, or if they got any cool pictures of the elephant. <span> </span>It didn’t matter that neither giraffe nor elephant were there to see or get pictures of, what mattered was the friendly way in which we asked. Friendly, polite, and with a sincere smile…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>We passed two ladies on bikes and wished them the bestest of days. A very short way up from them we passed two guys. We pointed to the ladies a ways back and said they may do well to ride as team and make new friends. The ladies were glad to give us their hellos, and from the looks of the guys, they thought the idea I gave was a grand one.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>A bit later we passed by some <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/BushwhackerJohn/Road%20Trips/10-21-07%20Cades%20Cove/cadescove10_21_07115.jpg" title="OK, so they are not cowboys">nice people on horseback</a>. We called them cowboys, took their picture, and waved as if we were old friends. I could see them smiling broader as we drove away then when we drove up. On some level, we helped make their day a better one.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>There was <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/BushwhackerJohn/Road%20Trips/10-21-07%20Cades%20Cove/cadescove10_21_07121.jpg" title="A nice couple taking pictures">a nice couple</a> with the largest lens we’ve ever seen, and asked them if they shot anything nice. They said “not yet” so we wished them luck…and I hope they got lucky.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>A <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/BushwhackerJohn/Road%20Trips/10-21-07%20Cades%20Cove/cadescove10_21_07112.jpg" title="a girl on her bike">little girl riding her bike</a> was wished well too, though that wish was likely foundered as she nearly crashed into the van while spitting expletives…though maybe had we not said hello, she’s have fallen, and made her day a bad one. Who can really know for sure.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>All in all, we talked to at least 30 people, and of those 30 people 29 smiled, and I really do like those odds, and each of those 30 people made my day a little brighter, so I hope that my smile also brightened their day. Have you said hello to a stranger lately?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>If not, then spread the magick…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/Qryztufre/random/junk/me_see1_sm.jpg" title="Geraint Evans" alt="Geraint Evans" align="right" height="120" width="160" />Back in 2005 when I was a full fledged member of <a href="http://www.occultforums.com" rel="nofollow">Occult Forums</a> we got a loony that made an account named &#8220;Jack Blade&#8221;.  Half of this members posts seem to claim he had some affiliation with Satan. The other half had him claiming that he was Jesus Christ.</p>
<p>Through some twist of normal logic he claimed that there was proof of his divinity on his birth certificate. (<a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/Qryztufre/random/junk/proof_id_11.jpg">exhibit A</a>, <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/Qryztufre/random/junk/proof_id_31.jpg">exhibit B</a>, <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/Qryztufre/random/junk/proof_id_21.jpg">exhibit C</a>), and his twisted logic is thus:</p>
<blockquote><p>Technically look at it.. My mother&#8217;s name is Caroline Rosser.. Carol as in the song.. See sign&#8217;s C.Rosser like Jesus died on the cross.. Which made God crosser.. Then my father&#8217;s same Stuart <span class="highlight">Evans</span>.. Stu Art.. As in the Devil makeing art of food.. Art of you.. You become the Devil&#8217;s toy an he ain&#8217;t human.. I got all nature im like a wild animal when i want to be.. An then he sign&#8217;s S.Evans As in Seven spirit&#8217;s of God.. An also like the film Seven which show&#8217;s how dark my metality goes.. Understand if it exist&#8217;s it exist&#8217;s in me an my head.. Makeing it my metality an memory&#8217;s.. Then we have me my name is Geraint David <span class="highlight">Evans</span>.. Which break&#8217;s down into G Re Ain&#8217;t Vaild Heaven&#8217;s.. Why ain&#8217;t Re correct or vaild.. Because Jesus was God an Devil.. Not just God.. Jesus was the man with the spirit of the Universe.. Makeing him both God an Devil.. Then my birth date prove&#8217;s this.. 21 April 1983.. 21 as i said is the number.. An even my birth year add&#8217;s upto it.. 1+9+8+3=21.. 3&#215;7=21.. 7 an 21 are the Alpha an the Omega of the last chapter of the bibel Jesus is coming.. Jesus say&#8217;s he the Alpha an Omega would return then i turn up haveing the number&#8217;s which prove me to be the Alpha an the Omega of that chapter.. See i said i would return an i have.. An the fact that my number&#8217;s prove God as similer number&#8217;s to Devil prove&#8217;s they are one an the same.. Just different side&#8217;s of God&#8217;s metality.. An the fact that the number&#8217;s is proved by the supposedly holy bible.. Prove&#8217;s it is from God.. No matter what crap they pull.. If they think im nothing but the Devil then i would not be connected in such a way to the bible.. A book you claim is so holy.. Yet it was wrote by them ba*tards who killed me.. Holy i think not.</p></blockquote>
<p>Post after post of bad poetry and random biblical ramblings followed and proceeded that revelation  to the point that the member had to be banned for breaking several of the forum rules and regulations.</p>
<p>Almost two years later he was accused of killing <font size="2">Father Bennett, a Vicar at </font><font size="2">St Fagan&#8217;s Church. While this is a story out of the UK, it crossed over to the states when the news had an image of the forums he was a member at. Oddly enough, they equated the forums with Satanism and other evil things, where that was not really the case. Either way, the publicity of the event has forced the current administration to &#8216;archive&#8217; the posts of the member, so I&#8217;ll not be sharing anything more.</font></p>
<p>But if you would like to know more of the story from the media you can check out <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/7047096.stm">this story</a>, and <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_7040000/newsid_7047300/7047361.stm?bw=bb&amp;mp=wm&amp;asb=1&amp;news=1">this video</a>.</p>
