Halloween is upon us again. Worzel Gummidge is standing in the fields, affrighting the crows. Strangely, though, no crow community has ever been made extinct by human activity. Indeed, ornithologists claim that crows are as superior to other birds in terms of intellect as humans are to other primates. Now, I believe that users of hex-me.com are as superior to normal people as humans are to other primates. Hippies are scum; recently, some long-haired jackanapes called across the road to me, “Spare a dime, fellow human being… spare a dime, fellow child of light.”
Now, what made this hirsute scoundrel believe I was a fellow-traveler of his? What made him think that an insolent, idle, moronic Prole could in any sense compare with the master of hex-me.com? One of the greatest errors of modern Western thought is in assuming the psychic equality of mankind. All people are not equal at all: only a small minority is self-aware, creative, sensitive and intelligent: the broad masses are scum.
Aye, shadows are whispering, mists gather, and midnights stay. This is Halloween: the mystic time of year when the fabric between the worlds stretches thin, that we might see beyond.
Only at the weekend I met up with Damien Crowley (on a flying visit to the States), Angelo Alvarez and Kelly Rivers. It was a difficult, but brilliant meeting. I had to keep everything (and everyone) together - difficult indeed. Nonetheless, despite the language barriers, we agreed a working concordance for Halloween hexing. Kelly will take matters of love (and hate): Angelo issues of work and friendship; me, all other issues. And so, at this all important hour, all bases will be covered.
Happy hexing!
