as i was doing yard work yesterday, my very religious neighbor came outside to say hello and to make sure that she is keeping me up on current events.
she informed me of a recent pedophile ring that saved 35 children. she said that’s she asked the lord to save a few but the lord quadrupled her original prayer. hallelujah jesus and amen!
she walked away and then came back to discuss the satanic danger from reading harry potter. evidently they are building a harry potter theme park in florida and it has her upset. next, her talk turns to music and black sabbath, ozzy, the rolling stones and the beach boys.
surprisingly to all who know me, i’m speechless at this point.
and then she threw out another name.
aleister crowley.
wtf?
i could hardly wait to end that conversation in order to walk the 20 miles back to our house (i’m kidding but we do have a long driveway) to share this info with my husband.
he responded, “she must be reading your blog“.
there have been a few other occasions in which she has spoken to me about something that i’d written here. maybe she reads it, maybe she doesn’t. if she is, she is a very nice lady and that whole thing about me thinking you killed your husband? i was TOTALLY kidding about that.
how many times have you discussed aleister crowley recently?
now, if i can just get mr. unright to pay a visit to our home to really freak her out….

I nearly puked upon reading about the activities of that ring. There’s one time when I’m glad the “officials” went ahead and brought Thor’s Hammer down on some real scum. Assuming the journalism accurately portrayed all that, of course (covering my ass lol).
I can totally see how that ties into umm.. Harry Potter. He obviously took his cue from the depth of Black Sabbath.
Can’t these people get it right, anyways? What about Cannibal Corpse or Morbid Angel or Ministry? But noooo they gotta go with picking on pop bands. Silly bastages!
Pretty kickass that she brought up Mr. Crowley, though. I like trying to get him to ride my white horse, but only on the colder, lonelier nights….

irish, it’s ironic that you mention “morbid angel”. in my last sentence on the post, the “mr. unright” link is none other than morbid angel’s former drummer.
*cue twilight zone theme….NOW*

It is ture that Aleister Crowley does not come up that often. But, then again….

I think I have never discussed the wickedest man in the world.

Aleister Crowley used to come up a lot in conversations that I had, but that’s ’cause I worked on a creepy show.

Piglet, I shouldn’t be here, it’s way past my bedtime on a night of a horrendous day at the (almost) end of a gruelling week. I have nothing intelligent or intelligible to say. I’m so tired that I’ve already forgotten what I read up there. I do remember it made me laugh. Please don’t be insulted, it’s me. I’m a mess. I just wanted to say something so you know I was here. I’ll be back on the weekend to catch up. Thanks for the visit. xo
(I must be getting pretty comfortable with you to let you see me like this! I’ll come back another day and read it and say, omg, I can’t believe I wrote that…)

trudge, see what yer missing in the bible belt
?
as far as you insulting me? prolly couldn’t happen since we’re soul sista’s and all…
scott, i lurve you to pieces.
slackmistress, to sit around with other people discussing crowley in a creative environment sounds almost like heaven to me.
one wink, it’s like we’re 12 and are going to get caught on the phone past curfew

I love what you called it – “pedophile ring”!!!! Brilliant.
I have a neighbor much like yours. They suck and drive me nuts.
