~Twenty three years ago on this day, May 27th, 1996, also a Memorial Day, I rolled down Benedict Canyon to Century City to catch a matinee, a movie called The Craft. After that, my life changed. I was not aware of that when I left the theater and went back up into Beverly Hills, but I was...'inspired'.
I loved the thing, though I was annoyed that such powerful Sisters had fallen out over some fucking football jock, even one as pretty as Skit Ulrich was. So I decided to write my own version.
I got home around 5ish and two hours later I had outlined a tale of a Star Empire of Amazon Cyber Witches, a vast Sisterhood who lived without men. It came to me quite easily as I do tend to go 'epic' and had been at story telling for a while by that point.
I knew I had to do some research to give all this a proper grounding, so the following weekend I went up to the Bhodi Tree, the best occult bookstore in LA, now sadly gone, and dropped a C-Note on Witch Craft books.
Back in my little room at Hotel Hell [the Rent's sixteen room house on top of a hill in the 90210] I started to read. And to my amazement, I felt like I had 'come home'. It all resonated so perfectly for me, I never looked back and have been a dedicated Witch every since.
In the intervening twenty three years I first tried to make a short film about the early Sisterhood as I was deep in my efforts to be a film maker back then. That failed. But I have generated a half dozen fiction variations of The Sisterhood since then. It was a story that inspired me, and I know that stories can shape people and events and ultimately history itself.
But even in the midst of that I was moving toward dedicating myself to actually manifesting The Sisterhood as a real world movement. The Imbolc following my 'Revelation', E my Spirit Guide showed up and confirmed that such was now my Path...and that I would not get off of said during this Turn of The Wheel.
And now I have a binder sitting here holding one hundred and thirty single side pages, 48,464 words, The Liber Sorores, The Book of The Sisters, waiting for me to start another round of editing and expansion. Been at that for ten years.
So here I am, Her so-called Prophet, living up in The High Desert, still working on manifesting The Sisterhood in real life. It gets close and then fades away and then gets close again and so on. Some days I love my Purpose and others I hate it. That seems to be the nature of the Prophet racket. But it is What I Do...
...and so it is.

Her Prophet Is A Cynical Fuck [edit]

~My First High Priestess* just sent me an e-mail with a link to a new guru type fella. I perused it and replied, “Eh. It tracks like every other New Age 'Positive Thinking' 'Change The World' dealio I've seen over the past forty plus years.” Then I thanked her for sending it because, well, you never know.
The thing that most annoys about all of these New Age types like this new guru fella is their inevitable vagueness. There is always the 'Positive Thinking' and 'Change The World' and 'Universal Enlightenment' and 'Profound Shift' and 'Attracting Your Highest Good' so on and so forth, but exactly how said change/shift is going to be implemented is never really mentioned, not beyond exhortations to 'look within' and 'embrace your joy' and 'think positively' and 'feel your power' and 'share your love' etc. Oh and 'share your money' too BTW.
As someone who has participated in Con Games from both sides, I can tell you for a fact that those are all the hallmarks of a Con. Now, maybe the guru in question actually believes the Con, which is usually the most effective way of Selling The Con, but that's just Method Acting.
It's always Love and Light and Good Feelings and anything 'negative' or 'unpleasant' is swept under the rug PDQ. That especially applies to any serious questions about the details of how The Great Change is actually going to happen. That kind of behavior will get you Excluded From The Group.
This of course is a primary reason why The Sisterhood is such a hard sell. It has very little in the way of 'good feelings' but a shitload of Hard Truths. It also has a very specific set of goals and a very specific set of plans for achieving them. It is almost impossible to bullshit one's self about what you're getting into. It's Eyes Wide Open or No Thank You. No middle ground. *sigh*
And there's no Instant Gratification. Building a New Matriarchy is clearly shown to be Hard Work over a period of generations. It's not going to 'improve your relationships' or 'make you better at your job' or any of the other Marketing bullshit most gurus and 'life style trainings' hustle.
Sure, you could certainly feel better about yourself, but that's only because you'd have True Purpose and be doing something that Actually Fucking Matters for more that five fucking minutes. [see "It is no measure of good health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society."]
While a number of woman have tested the waters, so far, only one Sister has showed up and stayed...in fifteen years. So, yes, Her Prophet is also a Bitter Fucker...
...and there you have it.
*I cut her loose too because she turned out to be another weak bourgeois creature who cannot see beyond the tip of her nose.

"When I say 'time's a'wasting'...well, look at what is going on around you. We are right now in the middle of Collapse...
This is not a “Mad Max” scenario, with masked barbarians roaming the wastelands, though we will get some of that sooner or later...
It's the daily erosion of the general quality of life; government services [police, fire, sanitation] strangled by 'austerity', bad roads that never get repaired, food of lower quality getting more expensive, etc. Look around, the list is endless...
It's a steady increase in social and political violence, both verbal and physical; ever more hateful rhetoric, demonizing 'the other', individual brutality, spree killing, rising numbers of murder/suicides...
It's each of you working harder and longer [if you're lucky enough to have employment] for less and less merely to survive...
It's a future of endlessly rising energy costs that strangle the economy day after day no matter what we do...
It's Climate Change; increasingly bad droughts, violent storms and blasting heat...
It's the Powers That Be [The Monied Interests, etc] hoping to 'ride this out' and hoarding as much as they can to stave off their inevitable fall as long as they can and blocking nearly all possible solutions in the process because of the fear that said solutions will cut into their power...which they most assuredly would.
And then there is The War on Women...
Naomi Wolf stated it quite succinctly, "It would be a mistake to see these attacks as simply a backlash against women. This is about empire struggling for social control." The Powers That Be need those 'forces of reaction', Christian Fundamentalists, White Nativists and all the other fearful/hateful low information voters of both genders, to hold onto power. And Women's Rights are a direct threat to that agenda.
All the gains from of Second Wave Feminism in the '70's and 80's that had been thought safe are now under attack and in many cases are being rolled back. This is a function of Patriarchy, the need to control women on the most basic level, as Reproductive Beings. And to do this women must be hemmed in socially and legally.
Therefore Collapse is not some abstract issue for you, my Sisters. It is about the type of future that you will have. It is unfolding as you read these words. And if you don't Get Busy, it will be more of the same Male Dominated crap you already have to deal with, only increasingly so and this time without any recourse."
..here is the thing in its entirety..

Her Prophet Says Some Mean Shit
May. 27th, 2019 09:58 pmfrom January 13, 2013
~I've been watching this stupid clusterfuck unfold on Twitter the past half day and I'm...I don't know, torn between despair and disgust. I commented, “The White Male POV: 'slaves fighting to the death over scraps that fell off of *our* table'. /sigh”
So, time for a little bit of Mansplaining...
First off, I'm Fixed Gendered, so don't call me 'Cis'. It's fucking ugly and I suspect was chosen exactly for that reason, a passive/aggressive dig at those of us who are fine with our genitals.
Second, this is still A White Man's World. It possibly may not be for that much longer, but I warn y'all not to underestimate my Brothers. We're some mean and evil mother fuckers and will not let go of what is “Ours” without a very nasty fight. And our defeat is not yet assured, trust me.
Third, even though I am now a fat old fuck on Disability living in a double-wide outside of East Bumfuck, as an Educated White Male, I still have buckets more Privilege than 95% of you fucking bitches, whatever your color. All I have to do is show up, be charming in a forthright fashion and the waters part. I've done this many many times...which brings us to
Fourth, as 'slaves' [read NOT White Males of a Certain Class] most of you have no real understanding of Power. You know how to be Oppressed – I can always see the notch on the backs of your necks where my boot fits - but seem to be clueless as to how to be Powerful. I'm not talking 'empowered', that sorry-assed New Age buzzword.
No, I mean Power. Even when I was homeless on LA's Skid Row I carried myself as Master, more so in fact because of where I was. And folks down there Got It and deferred. I could pull that off because I knew in my fucking balls that I am a Patriarch, that I am fucking Mr. Charlie, and no amount of self-esteem seminars in the world can give you that.
As a White Male of a Certain Class I was raised KNOWING that this World belongs to Me and Mine. And those who have not experienced that “cannot” understand it. And that part of me sneers at the shenanigans taking place around the above events: 'slaves fighting to the death over scraps that fell off of *our* table'.
Those with the real Power laugh at these ridiculous doctrinal squabbles, these stupid internecine bloodlettings, these catfights filled with Victim Rhetoric. They are clear proof of how weak and powerless you really are.
This brings me back to something I said a few days ago: “In the US a women is raped apx every minute and a half, but when I talk about banning penises, people call me insane.” For all the noise about Feminism and LGBT 'empowerment', when it comes right down to it, you stupid cunts are still fighting over The Cock.
And while you're doing that, my Brothers are pissing on your heads and laughing....
