(spoiler-free) Brotherhood. Fraternity. Fellowship. Elements sorely missing from society these days. And dearly missed by those of us who can remember what it felt like. But in this biopic, for a fleeting moment, it all comes back. I don’t watch new movies. No, really–I don’t. Not without heavy recommendation from people I trust. So IContinue reading “Tolkien (2019) Movie Review: An Unexpected Surprise”

Devious Poetry (part eight)
Today is going to be the most harrowing post of the Devious Poetry series to date. It’s not going to be easy to write about, and it’s by no means safe for work or safe for life. Today we’re going all the way down the O.T.O. rabbit hole to discuss not only what other deviationsContinue reading “Devious Poetry (part eight)”
America’s Debt vs. Amazon Prime Day: An Epic Rant
Amazon‘s “Prime Day” happened earlier this week, and everyone fell for it. Consoomers spent $12.7 Billion ever-loving dollars over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday, which was record-breaking for Amazon. 375 million items were sold during Prime Day 2023, up from 300 million the year prior. It’s worth mentioning that Amazon sellers often boost theContinue reading “America’s Debt vs. Amazon Prime Day: An Epic Rant”
Devious Poetry (part seven)
Where did I last leave off? Ah yes, I introduced you to the O.T.O. (The featured photo is an inner sanctum of the Temple of the Ordo Templi Orientis in Philadelphia.) Established well before Aleister Crowley came into the picture, we learned that the Ordo Templi Orientis is a fanatic religious order which was (andContinue reading “Devious Poetry (part seven)”
The Iron Age is Upon Us
I’ve made no secret of my disdain toward the mainstream entertainment industry. In fact, I’ve only been to the movie theater a handful of times since 2011, I don’t own any current gen video game consoles (though I admit my children own a Nintendo Switch), and, call me crazy, I vastly prefer owning physical mediaContinue reading “The Iron Age is Upon Us”
Devious Poetry (part six)
Oh boy. I suppose the time has come to start introducing you to the Ordo Templi Orientis (“Order of the Temple of the East”). You’ll often see them refer to themselves as the O.T.O., and that’s because their abbreviation has…certain…symbolism. Founded by German theosophists (because of course it was), the O.T.O. was an attempted revivalContinue reading “Devious Poetry (part six)”
Devious Poetry (part five)
The ankh is an Egyptian heiroglyph which means “life”, or “the key of life”. In fact, it is a magical symbol to wish life and health for someone, which explains how Isis was able to bring Osiris back from the dead. The ankh is also a portal between life and death, which helps explain whyContinue reading “Devious Poetry (part five)”
Devious Poetry (part four)
In the last post, we discussed how the Thelemites believe we have gone through three aeons, and that the fourth is either already here, or is currently overlapping the third, or is coming very soon. Before I continue, consider the Buddhist symbolism of the yin-yang, the belief that all things should be in “perfect balance”.Continue reading “Devious Poetry (part four)”
Devious Poetry (part three)
Let’s explore this “Aeon of Horus“, find out more about who or what that really is. We’ve successfully tied the work Promethea to Thelema and Aleister Crowley beyond a shadow of a doubt: Moore repeatedly and specifically refers to the Thoth Tarot deck, which is a deck exclusively used for divination designed by Aleister CrowleyContinue reading “Devious Poetry (part three)”
Devious Poetry (a refresher)
Below is a summary of my Devious Poetry discussion so far. This subject matter is always difficult to tackle, but it’s something I must get off my chest. The discussion so far: Silence is a Rabbit Hole An exploration on how powerful silence can be and how it could even be a useful tool for writers.Continue reading “Devious Poetry (a refresher)”
