PROLOGUE TO A NOIR HAUNTED HOUSE My vaunted journalism professor insisted that we read H.L. Mencken for our education in media and culture before inflicting ourselves on society. And for our journalistic ethics. There was still such a thing in those days. In fact Prof. Nathaniel Blumberg had just won some awards for his coverage of the Chicago protests in 1968. I wasn't paying much attention so I didn't know that H.L. Mencken had started a magazine in 1920 called "Black Mask" to feature works that were "the best stories available of adventure, the best mystery and detective stories, the best romances, the best love stories, and the best stories of the occult." The dime paperbacks of those authors populated libraries and kitchen tables for quite some time. CEDAR CHEST IN THE BASEMENT. FIRST SIGHTING OF GRIMNIR Mom's Maytag ringer washer circa 1952 was by the basement floor drain. My errant ways meant she had to take me down the stair...
I'm adding George S. Patton to my presentation of New Thought leaders. His faith was born of experience with memory and purpose. Past lives were accepted as a given. He saw his purpose as a continuation of what he had done before. Mission does not end when there is purpose in a continuation. Destiny and Fate are permutations of what one has as a given duty and what one does to take action on that duty. Conditions, luck, and resolve are situations of faith. A profound faith that is not limited by opinions or dogma or how one is expected to think. The clear distinction between Orlog and Wyrd as representing Fate and Desiny (respectivley) is something I've tried to clarify, but I owe this representation to Robert Blumetti. Orlog is the fate you are given by generational and civilizational past actions. Wyrd is the web you weave within that fate to form a destiny of your own choice and effort. My father was visited by...
I'm creating Gumroad books. It's where I live now. Most of these books can be found for free with pretty much identical stuff on my blogs. This post is where I'll list my books with the blogs for quick access. Everything is a work in progress. Everything. ANCIENT WAYS TO NEW THOUGHT Coincidence brought this book to my attention today. That's how this Cosmic stuff works sometimes. My main interest for more than 30 years was with Germanic Mythos and runes, and the Return of a people. Mostly esoteric but with the practical results required of anything valid. At some point I insisted on mentioning that some of the ancient rune formulas were similar to what is called 'New Thought.' This is a concscious identity with the God aspect that one is most happy with. This work is similar to another Gumroad book, 'Cosmic Spirit Tech.' Separation of related fields is not the way. There is a continuity that ...
