November 21 & November 22: The Myth of Lilith. One of the earliest accounts of the divine feminine is the story of Lilith. Her origins predate Judaism with the Sumerian Mythos. This mysterious deity has survived and evolved for thousands of years, incarnating in such forms as the first wife of Adam, the Queen of Demons, a Savior Goddess and a muse to so many artists and magicians. We explore Lilith's origins, transformations and impact, from ancient times to our modern culture where she is more revered than ever. We acquaint ourselves with this dangerous female principle through history, mythology, art, astrology and astrotheology. And compare the striking parallels between Lilith and Sophia.
Astral Guest-- Kelley Hunter, author of 'Living Lilith: Four Dimensions of the Cosmic Feminine'.

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
The more taboos and prohibitions there are in the world, The poorer people will be. The more sharp weapons the people have, The more troubled the state will be. The more cunning and skill man possesses, The more vicious things will appear. The more law and orders are made prominent, The more thieves and robbers there will be .
Tonight is the night When dead leaves fly Like witches on switches Across the sky, When elf and sprite Flit through the night On a moony sheen.
Tonight is the night When leaves make a sound Like a gnome in his home Under the ground, When spooks and trolls Creep out of holes Mossy and green.
Tonight is the night When pumpkins stare Through sheaves and leaves Everywhere, When ghouls and ghost And goblins host Dance round their queen. It's halloween.
Come, my child: over there, guarded by an angel, Treasurer of the secrets of forbidden Knowledge, There bleeds, for corrupted hearts, a strange vine, Twined with the hissing snake of Paradise Lost.
The angel sleeps when I wish. Come, My beautiful child, eat with wanton teeth The clusters where my mouth has bitten: Tomorrow you will know the cost of the wine And the power of the vintage your elder has sold you.
You will watch yourself act and think and live, You will be at once the reader and the book, The obscure writer of that hideous book.
And you will die very old, cultivating your pain, For having abdicated the scepter of your ignorance, Which raised you to the height of heroes and the gods.
the Dassanech, Mursi, Karo, Bume & Beshadar are tribes still living in the early times by the Great Rift Valley , this area provides great variety of coloured pigments, with these, the tribes of the Omo river practice their art.
According to Western standards these are true geniuses,its traits remind Picasso, Miró, Paul Klee & Tapies. Art in its highest degree of purity. No explanation, no theory...motivated solely by desire. The desire of being beautiful, to seduce, to exteriorize pleasure ...
Progress needs electric power & theres a project to build an hidroelectric plant in the Omo river ... The river will be reduced to a fifth of its original size ending with the flooded planes essential to these tribes An intact & pure culture probably with its days numbered ...
" Ethiopia..s new generation will have plenty electric power to appreciate all this in a computer " Photos & Quote by Hans Sylvester the photographer of simplicity
What have you got in your knapsack fair,White moon, bright moon, pearling the air, Spinning your bobbins and fabrics free, Fleet moon, sweet moon, in to the sea? Turquoise and beryl and rings of gold, Clear moon, dear moon, ne’er to be sold? Roses and lilies, romance and love, Still moon, chill moon, swinging above? Slender your feet as a white birds throat, High moon, shy moon, drifting your boat Into the murk of the world awhile, Slim moon, dim moon, adding a smile. Tender your eyes as a maiden’s kiss, Fine moon, wine moon, no one knows this, Under the spell of your witchery, Dream moon, cream moon, first he kissed me.. Nice to meet you*
