'Don't Breathe' (2016)
I saw this several weeks ago, and it was a surprise to me, and original horror flick. It was about three friends who get trapped inside a blind war veteran's house while breaking into it, which pretty much says it all. They mistook a trained killing machine for a pushover. It gets pretty weird near the end. There's already a sequel in the works.

Moon Talk
Scientists are studying ways to utilize the Moon's resources to benefit activities on Earth as well as aid in space exploration. One proposal being considered is the mining of ice at the lunar poles. Ice would be converted to drinking water, oxygen, and hydrogen fuel and stored at orbiting stations, where spacecraft traveling to Mars or other areas could refuel and restock. This would save costs because fewer of these resources would need to be transported from Earth.

Indo-European Prayer and Ritual
Survive the Jive
How to pray like an Indo-European pagan. Where should you conduct prayers and rituals? What can you sacrifice at a blót and what libations can be poured? What should you say in a prayer and which god do you invoke?
I answer these questions and explain the tripartite format of Indo-European prayer with reference to Sigrdrífumál and the cycle of reciprocal gift giving. I also show you what my shrine and idols look like and how I make an offering to them.

WolfsbaneAconitum
Aconitum, commonly known as aconite, monkshood, wolf's bane, leopard's bane, mousebane, women's bane, devil's helmet, queen of poisons, or blue rocket, is a genus of over 250 species of flowering plants belonging to the family Ranunculaceae. These herbaceous perennial plants are chiefly native to the mountainous parts of the Northern Hemisphere, growing in the moisture-retentive but well-draining soils of mountain meadows. Most species are extremely poisonous and must be dealt with very carefully.

''The Toxicity Surrounding Wolfsbane'
I keep thinking that Neopagans can make use of this wolfsbane, but I'm not certain if it's too toxic to handle. There are videos of people handling it however. The word "bane" means a cause of great distress or annoyance, hence the folkloric term "Wolfs bane" (wolfsbane) to ward off werewolves. Were our ancestors trying to repel wolfs, werewolves, or both? In other words, if we symbolically wore a pendant with a little glass veil of wolfsbane, are we warding off a wolf, other dangerous animals, a dangerous human aka "werewolf," the "werewolf" inside of us, or just "danger" in general? Certainly in the pantheon of real dangers today, the wolf would be near the bottom of the list. Since wolves were an ever-present danger to our ancestors, especially when alone in a remote area, it would seem logical that wolfsbane would represent "danger at large" for us today. This plant is tied to our ancestral folklore. Maybe it's time to bring it back for ritual...

1944 Schrader Diving Helmet
US Navy Mk V Mod 1 Diving Helmet
[A. Schrader and Son, Brooklyn, New York]
Manufactured by Schrader subsidiary, Scovill Manufacturing Company of Brooklyn, New York, in March 1944. Serial No. 1580B
neo
The dive helmet’s US Navy WWII history is not known by the current owner. However, pre-1970 this dive helmet was used in the salvage of sunken WWII ships along the Taiwan coast. The dive helmet’s previous owner was working as a commercial diver in Taiwan from 1968 to 1970, constructing an oil terminal for the national oil company. His work involved underwater inspection of civil works in Keelung & Taichung. He worked with local diving and overseas construction companies, using scuba and surface supplied lightweight gear. He traded this gear for the dive helmet before leaving Taiwan in 1970. 39 years later the current owner purchased it from him.
con't....
************
I recall as a child of having an action figure of a man and all of the gear related to one of the original deep diving suits. I found the vintage style to be fascinating, particularly the copper colored helmet. It's the same idea as the moon helmet from 1969.

BLOOD OVER INTENT | Blood Magic Explained
JayDreamerZ
What makes blood so powerful in spells and blood magic? Why is blood used? While this is not a thorough examination, I would like to focus on some key concepts.
*Please watch this video, to have a better idea of what you're getting into before you consider joining the crowd.
Some other points:
-most websites that endorse blood magic and rituals agree to use extreme caution and have a more complete understanding of the process before attempting.
-they also say blood spells are not to be taken lightly and cannot be undone.
-the will of the spirit is what gives power to an individual... The magic is in you already!
-the pain of blood letting can change the vibration of the individual.
Enjoy the vid!

Commentary on four unrelated films, for no particular reason
I make no mention of most films that I see, but I was recently reminded of several films that I just felt like commenting on. Some months ago I saw the film 'Changeling' (2008) with Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich, directed by Clint Eastwood. Based on a true story, it was about a mother of a kidnapped child in 1928 who was then put in the middle of system madness, and the only person of any power who was willing to help was a Los Angeles-based reverend. It was one of the few films in recent memory which depicts a Christian character fighting the mainstream system for justice in more-or-less just a general secular manner. Great cinematography, but with a dark mood.
As mentioned in "Part I," the film 'Jaws' is still so wildly popular. It's actually on TV again this week! People can't get enough of the ominous pursuit of the shark hunt, as well as the shark itself. There was really something about the scene set at twilight where they were in the cabin singing, telling jokes and stories. Of course after 1975, with the popularity of the film, the shark craze was on... or just general dramas set on the ocean. In 1977 the film 'The Deep' was released. Starring Jacqueline Bisset and Nick Nolte, it was a big box office success. Robert Shaw was also in it, adding something of a 'Jaws' flavor. For some reason, I have literally never seen where this movie has ever been on television! At least not in decades; very strange.
The third film I was thinking of was entitled 'Power' (1986). It was such a "would-be good movie" that didn't deliver. Although I have not seen it since that time, I don't recall it being the "train wreck" that some thought that it was ("a well-meaning, witless, insufferably smug movie that . . . suffers from the total lack of a comic imagination"). The film stars a slumping 1980s (post-'An Officer and a Gentleman') Richard Gere playing the role of a "a ruthless and highly successful media consultant" who shamelessly uses serious events to garner political support for this clients running for office. The film was a great idea, and reflected much truth. I think I would prefer a failed film, which tried to reflect some truth, rather than a successful film based on deceit.
'Southie' is a 1999 film starring Donnie Wahlberg as a young Irish guy who returns home to South Boston after a stay in New York City. From what I can recall, it was never really clear if he wanted to get involved in organized crime or was opposed to it. He came off as distant, somewhat prone to violence, even while trying go straight. I do recall that this film was continuously on the verge of "just getting good" and "really leading to something"..... then it just abruptly ENDED. It was a film which may actually have been good if it actually "happened!!" Two hours of a continuous opening scene to peak the audience's interest; no movie!

The time I accidentally tapped into a DOD website
When I first got on the internet, I did a search for "General John Shalikashvili," since I heard that he was a big promoter of "world government," combining our military with that of other countries with joint exercises, and training foreign troops on U.S. soil. After I clicked on one of the results, a very strange looking site came on the screen. It was black with a sidebar made up of various other colors in a type of dark metalic... all just pulsating! Then after a few seconds, a window with very large text popped up on my screen. It said something like "WARNING. YOU HAVE ENTERED A NATIONAL SECURITY WEBSITE. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY." It was actually sort've scary. I just clicked off the entire screen. In hindsight, I suppose that someone could have saved the link, then entered it at some video cafe, which were popular at the time. I could understand if the site was accidentally connected to search engines, but if it was a national security site, why didn't the DOD just use the "dark web" for it?

'James Ellroy's L.A.: City of Demons'
In 2011, the popular cable channel Investigation Discovery released a new series about the crime history of Los Angeles and Hollywood with the above title. It featured James Elroy, the popular author of so much of this history, including 'L.A. Confidential'... later made into a movie. Being that this true crime history is extremely interesting, it would seem to have been an excellent idea. The six-episode season only lasted two or three weeks before being pulled, which is very unusual.
"Ellroy's affected manner as presenter in this series is so irksome and distracting (he actually seems to be miming a stroke victim or some poor backward possibly drunk} slurred speech soul reading from cue cards ) as to ruin whatever content that may otherwise have contained some potential interest."
-- blademan-95603, IMDb user
He spoke slowly and over-pronounced his words, which was not even how he normally speaks. The program also featured his sidekick, a cartoon "crime dog," which probably didn't help the program any. It's still strange that they didn't just finish the last three or four episodes, as the basic content was interesting at least. Amazingly, somehow this forgotten and forgettable series found it's way to dvd, even despite the ID channel not seeing fit to air at least half the season. Ellroy really dropped the ball on this, since he was the logical person to present this sordid crime history.
No less than eleven of James Ellroy's books have been made into movies, and have done well, which makes his cable TV documentary disaster of 2011 even more remarkable. Hopefully his book 'My Dark Places' will never make it to screen--it is officially in development--as he shamelessly fantasizes about his mother who was murdered in a still unsolved case from 1958. I think that the idea of producing a good and complete series on the crime history of LA and "Tinseltown" would be a great idea.

| 'Herodias' by Paul Delaroche |
Hērōdiás; c. 15 BC — after 39 AD) was a princess of the Herodian dynasty of Judaea during the time of the Roman Empire.
In the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, Herodias plays a major role in John the Baptist's execution, using her daughter's dance before Antipas and his party guests to ask for the head of the Baptist as a reward. According to the Gospel of Mark, Antipas did not want to put John the Baptist to death, for Antipas liked to listen to John the Baptist preach (Mark 6:20).
************
Herodias was literally a character from the Bible. It's interesting that, although she was born in Jerusalem in the Roman province of Judea, she died in Lyon, France. I suppose she was upwardly mobile, being from a royal family.

The actual transcript of the first of the three letters:
************
6 July, morning
My angel, my all, my own self — only a few words today, and that too with pencil (with yours) — only till tomorrow is my lodging definitely fixed. What abominable waste of time in such things — why this deep grief, where necessity speaks?
Can our love persist otherwise than through sacrifices, than by not demanding everything? Canst thou change it, that thou are not entirely mine, I not entirely thine? Oh, God, look into beautiful Nature and compose your mind to the inevitable. Love demands everything and is quite right, so it is for me with you, for you with me — only you forget so easily, that I must live for you and for me — were we quite united, you would notice this painful feeling as little as I should . . .
. . . We shall probably soon meet, even today I cannot communicate my remarks to you, which during these days I made about my life — were our hearts close together, I should probably not make any such remarks. My bosom is full, to tell you much — there are moments when I find that speech is nothing at all. Brighten up — remain my true and only treasure, my all, as I to you. The rest the gods must send, what must be for us and shall.
Your faithful
Ludwig
