Old Uncle Al is an uncompromising bastard! Pay no attention! I'd like to buy him at my price and sell him at his; I mean, who the fuck does he think he is - seriously? I reckon that he's a perverse old reprobate, full of shit! You heard it from me first.

Old Uncle Al’s Advice: Just Get Fucked!

Fuel tankers have been destroyed by America and more recently, Iran. These ships take a long time to build – if you want good ones.

Refineries have been destroyed or damaged. These take time – sometimes many years – to rebuild.

When the Iran war resumes there’ll be massive destruction by Iran of desalination plants in surrounding countries, leading to dehydration deaths.

Fertilisers and plastics come from gas and oil refining. There aren’t any. This impacts farming and food supply – big time. Think starvation, mass migration, with forests and jungles being destroyed to supply the food fertilisers once did.

Diesel is inflation on wheels. Then there’s interest rates and especially for Americans, economic destruction via tariffs.

So my considered advice is, as we’re all fucked: Just Get Fucked!

Drink alcohol whilst smoking weed and tobacco. I do!

I’ve given up dreams of rationality and quick fixes, so I just get fucked. This is my considered advice to all.

Obviously, I continue to wish you and yours all the best in these times of degeneration.

Stress

This de-stressing exercise is simple but requires commitment. If you feel more comfortable by doing so, take off your shoes. Lay flat on a rug, mat or carpeted floor. Do not use a pillow or a mattress. The object of this exercise is to get your body to conform to the flatness of the surface you are laying on not to have that surface conform to you.

Start by taking a deep breath and expelling that breath as a sigh. The secret is to sigh like everyone and everything that you love in your life has just been taken away from you. Sigh like it could not get any worse. Sign three consecutive times and then commence to relax your toes. After you have relaxed your toes, relax your feet. Continue to relax your body all the way to the top of your head.

By the time you get to relax your knees you may find that your feet are no longer relaxed. This is not a failure on your part. It is natural. Simply sigh and start again at the toes.

As you work your way from the feet to the head and discover that a previously relaxed part of your body has tensed up again you must give a deep sigh before recommencing. This exercise should be continued for at least fifteen minutes and may require several sessions before you start to obtain results. It can be effectively used to induce deep sleep. As you maintain your regime you will find that within a few days your sleeping patterns, comprehension and energy levels improve. You will also notice a diminished level of nervous energy in your everyday life.

A ‘Pavlov’s Dog’ side effect of this practice is that you can induce a state of deep relaxation at any time you need, simply by sighing. I was once caught in abysmal traffic and in desperation and while not thinking I let out an involuntary sigh and experienced deep relaxation instantaneously, to the point where I had to be careful not to fall asleep in the traffic.

Pentagram Rituals

“Those who regard this ritual as a mere device to invoke and banish spirits, are unworthy to possess it.” Aleister Crowley (Footnote to ‘Palace of the World’)

With the possible exception of wine, cigars and coffee, more shit has been written and believed concerning Banishing Rituals than almost anything else. “Therefore the kings of the earth shall be Kings for ever: the slaves shall serve.” Liber Al 2:58.

Banishing

The purpose of any Banishing ritual is two-fold: primarily, to isolate the Magician from mundane consciousness and to a lesser extent, to clear and re-enforce the atmosphere chosen for Magickal work. Both purposes are inter-related and indivisible. Properly performed, Banishings allow the Magician to more rapidly gain Magickal concentration (a la Pavlov’s dog) and to better resist unforeseen and unpleasant consequences which usually manifest in pedestrian consciousness but have their genesis in the rarefied atmosphere of Magickal working. A Banishing or Invoking ritual – like all Magick – works both on your individual (internal) world and on the mundane (external) world.

Many practitioners recommend a Magickal weapon to assist in Banishing and Invoking. Your Wand, your Dagger (Sword or Knife) or your magickal ring can work just fine, for in banishing (or invoking) a Magickal weapon is good, but not mandatory advice! The first and second finger held like a gun can work just as well and are always to hand!

A common problem is that practitioners rarely spend the time required to even rudimentarily use the Pentagram ritual, let alone develop it. To properly use the invoking or banishing pentagrams takes more time than may first be apparent. One method of assisting in proper tracing is to keep your eyes on your left hand as its fingers (or the weapon it manoeuvres) traces the pentagrams. You should strive to see the pentagrams as and after these have been traced – eventually you will.

Perhaps the best method of developing your banishing/invoking ritual is to image you are doing it in front of a large crowd of people. You need to impress them as much as yourself and the more you practice the more you will learn.
