There are skulls everywhere, and skull novelty items and decorative devices abound in abundance, as it were. It’s not just skulls, of course. There are also full and partial skeletons, and very life-like plastic reproductions of incredibly grisly body parts and even full alien and human bodies.
It seems that on every block, there’s a body shop that specializes in skulls. Well, whom are weem to disagreem???
I thought and thought about a name for the thing, and “Cult of the Skull” seemed the most mainstream, the least offensive and the most likely to agree with current events and popular prejudices.
In short, I may have made a slight tactical error by choosing “Cult of the Skull” as a typical Earthian/Human mainstream marketing concept you might find anywhere on eBay, Amazon or G-G-Google and his goo-goo googly eyes.
You might not be anywhere near old enough for that to be funny. Continue reading →
Gold is a product of a succession of stellar explosions and reformulations, yielding more and more complex atoms at each star reformation.
The 24k solid gold medallions are the most powerful CONTACT coins in the world. There is no metal exactly like gold, and gold is the key to opening and passing through dimensional portals.
Gold has “reach”. It “continues” in various dimensions, notably the Six Nirvanic Worlds, which cannot be reached with other metals. Gold is always gold. It never changes, and it has its own “constant”, which will someday be important to scientists. You can carve a simple visual “bumpy” message into PURE gold, and it can be read in the Higher Planes.
Gold Tokens can be made from scratch. They need not be altered coins and in fact, I don’t recommend altering gold coins at all. I work on a flat, hammered planchette or disk, fairly thin, at about 13mm in diameter, to fit into the 14k gold “U.S. $1 Gold Piece” Locket, which retails out at about $450-$650, depending on the artwork.
I wholesale those out at $112.50 apiece, which barely accommodates the cost of the metal and, in fact, at an art or crafts fair, I can make about $7,500 an hour just putting beads on strings and making someone’s name on a copper bracelet, but you couldn’t pay me enough to actually do that — I’m just making a point here about labor and art and what the art is worth.
I think the artwork that I engrave and etch into every single one of my little gold plaques is worth a whole lot more than fifty bucks, but I’m willing to let YOU take the profit. If you want to use some of your profit to assist the Sangha, it’s entirely up to you.
Those gold lockets should, and can, and DO, sell for hundreds of bucks, not because it’s gold, or because it’s magic or quantum, but because it’s a WORK OF ART by an actual working world-class listed American Official White House and IAJE Artist, not a mass-produced mechanical lump spat out of an all-too-common stamp-out machine somewhere overseas and off-shore, and I never said the word “China”.

Waking Up Is Hard To Do; it’s a constant long-term effort that begins with a shock.
Wake up, stupid. That’s not to be read as “wake up stupid”. Everyone who finds themselves in the Work has come to it after a shock awakens them from robot life. By shock, I mean an electrical one. Sometime in the past, there was a shock, and that shock caused an initial awakening, an awareness of Being.
There are other ways of delivering that shock, not involving a joy-buzzer or a hairpin and an electric socket. We’ll explore one such way in a moment, but first, let’s assume that you did, indeed, receive an Awakening Shock, for some reason and in some way, however odd.
At first, you didn’t know what to do. All you knew was that you felt an empty ache — there was something you should be doing, learning, mastering, but what? Continue reading →
Hobo Nickel zombie skeleton skull on 1935 buffalo nickel — $250. Hobos used coffee cans filled with sand as worktables, and used real engraving tools when they could get them, nails or spikes or needles when they couldn’t. Press the “Read More” button to see the other images.
As far back as humans walked the Earth, there were games, many of which were played on a field that had been drawn in with a sharpened stick, or boundaried by rocks, and in the case of Kalah and similar “pocket” games, the landing places were scooped out of the dirt.
Pieces for those early “board” or “flat” games were typically made of wood, stones, shells and in fact anything that was traded as money, including beads. Yes, beads were used as game pieces, and I have a large collection of ancient board game pieces that show how broad the variation could be.
Historians today weren’t THERE, actually THERE, in the Old West, when people had nothing to do but play checkers after the daily chores were done. Who had checker pieces? But everyone carried SOME cash — you had to. Credit cards didn’t exist back then, and hardly did money.
Cowboys would bet penny against penny. Of course, it had to be “even money”, no such thing as nickels against pennies, unless one of the players was a pro gambler with some sort of edge that gave him the long-term win.
So who owns which penny?
The solution is so simple and so obvious that it was thought of thousands and thousands of years ago. Continue reading →
Take an “ordinary” penny and put it into a high-energy static electrical field, encapsulate it and surround it with a permeable foamy material, and you have the start of an improvised magical weapon, which can be set up and activated with a Cloud Chamber or any imbuing device.
One of our many websites happens to be arms-and-armor where we offer chess sets, books and other items related to the subject of the website. It occurred to me that there isn’t a tarot deck based on historic arms & armor, and there should be. It can be argued that tarot is not a violent sport, but the fact is that it was invented and developed to forecast, and the most important forecasts in ancient and medieval times was the weather, food and the outcome of a looming battle, war, campaign, political confrontation or intrigue. Only then came love, sex and family matters. Of course, the whole deal was created originally for the benefit of the local or regional or known-world leader, but eventually, as all things must, the tarot and other divination devices came to the Middle Class, which is us.
Perhaps you’ve noticed that the banks are more and more reluctant to sell you a bank box of pennies??? They may have told you that you have to order them — that’s to keep track of who is getting them, of course. Other banks may tell you that there’s a $5 or $10 fee for a box of pennies, and of course another fee to take them back in. Still other banks are reported to have said that they just don’t have boxes, period. The reason for all this is first and foremost the copper hoarders. They’re waiting to get rich at everyone else’s expense and know of no way to improve that karmic condition. The second reason is that banks are incredibly greedy, and every extra penny means something to them, which is why they keep your money as many extra days as they can. If you’re having trouble getting bank boxes of U.S. pennies, let me know the circumstances — we’ll try to help from here, and we’ll spread the word and see what can be done, if anything. Don’t forget that hoarders are removing pennies from circulation at the rate of millions per day. We’ll discuss this coin-getting problem at this morning’s ICW — I have some surprising solutions!

Coin Safari is here. You can download it now on urthgame.com. Lemme clue ya: Coin Hunting is a legitimate thrill chase. It meets or beats your expectations for chills and thrills, because there’s a possible “win” at every turn of the coin. I mean this for both the Orb and also your daily practice, Zen Coin Sort and Zen Coin Search. Let’s take a good look at both subjects — for, indeed, they are two separate subjects, “sort” and “search”!!!
