All my life I've had flying dreams. Last night's was especially vivid - I was teaching others how to fly. "You jump, but then instead of falling back down, you fall up. Tricky at first, but it becomes easier."
Strange, but I was told off for putting my pupils in danger.

Archaeology News: New Mesopotamian Myth

Last year, a new Mesopotamian myth was rediscovered thanks to a newly deciphered cuneiform tablet that is currently housed in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum. Specifically, this is tablet Ni 12501.

It is a 4400-year-old tablet discovered in the 19th century during excavations at the site of Nippur, but it was never really given its time in the spotlight for study due to its fragmentary condition. After its discovery in the 19th century, there is a mention of this tablet in the 1950's, but more as a passing reference.

The text recounts the tale of the storm god Iskur, who was trapped in the Netherworld. His father, the king of the gods Enlil, calls for aid amongst all the other divine beings to help assist his son, but none volunteer, except for a fox.

What we know is that the fox was able to enter the Underworld, but... that is where our story ends, on a 4400 year old cliff hanger. Hopefully, in the future more tablets concerning different parts of this story will be found and deciphered, but until then, we are eagerly awaiting!

Have you ever wondered who is being referred to in the colloquial expression "They Say"?
Although not necessarily real, may I suggest they are the same as whom we have traditionally called "The Ancestors". They may be closer than we think.

@westcountrysky @ScottTHuff Apparently he believes that his neighbours tried to kill him, but it was covered up by Freemasons and the FBI.
There are many delusional people on this site, with minds like sewers. They curse themselves.
He's as ignorant as he is hateful. Abuse from such counts as praise.

David Bowie's Station to Station, which includes "one magical movement From Kether to Malkuth" references Crowley, Cocaine and Magic. But who, or rather what, is the Thin White Duke?

[Sev @westcountrysky]

Bowie's Thin White Duke, contrary to popular opinion, was a not a character but his Penis.
This is how he throws darts (i.e spunk) in lovers eyes.
More obviously, "making sure white stains".
IHe's referencing Crowley's sex magic & Kabbalah.

@EldredBD There are many diverse beliefs. Often, "magic" is how we see foreign or discarded religious practices. After the English reformation, older Catholic traditions became heretical magical practice (i.e. the cunning).
Occultists can be racist, but many enjoy cultural appropriation.

[Magic Library @MagicLibrary6]

Is the occult a gateway drug to the alt right? I’m thinking of Julius Evola, Stephen Flowers (aka Edred Thorsson), John Michael Greer and even supposedly benign authorities like Dion Fortune (many of whose followers are pro Brexit and homophobic).

We have highly evolved organisms like trees and plants and algae ... more effective than anything we can possibly create ourselves.
