The reason US coinage works so well is that Alchemists were in control of the very first American Post-Colonial Federal Mints. Ben Franklin wasn’t the only Freemason aka Rosicrucian High Initiate; there were plenty of them, and they were most of the Federal Government of the period. Dolly Madison was a practicing Pagan, in continual terror of exposure and personal ruin, and goodness knows who else was into what! Copper is the basic stuff of which dreams are made. Silver also works well in Lunar applications. Gold has properties that can directly cause Quantum Entanglement — hence wedding and engagement rings, twin heart pendants, figa, corno and other instruments of warding and connecting, both variants being two sides of one coin. Speaking of coins…
The World Next Door

If I were to tell you that there’s a world right in front of your eyes, a world that you cannot see and know nothing about, what would be your reaction?
(a) No reaction, not interested in anything outside the basic survival cattle-path.
(b) You’d say “bull-pucky” or some familiar equivalent.
(c) “Prove it,” would be your reaction.
(d) “Everyone knows that,” you’d reply, “the only real question is, how far is it from midtown?” to paraphrase a comment by Woody Allen related to the Afterlife.
(e) None of the Above.
Whiskey a Go-Go Gazzarri’s Spectrum 2000 The Store & Pandora’s Box
L.A. Warlocks, Sunset Strip Nightclub circa 1966
Problem was, I was the only photographer available, so I took this shot during a performance, with my medium-format Hasselblad at about f.45, shooting toward the side wall from my perspective, trying to eliminate the audience, because it’s supposed to be a band publicity photo. I shoved my alto sax which sort of did horn-section stuff and occasionally alternated leads with the Hammond B3 and the Stratocaster… I took only a moment to snap this, fearing to miss a beat. This nondescript and thoroughly “lost” shot was our only band photo for a few months, until Freep photographer Larry Fein did a photo session with us for the album liner. The album got scrapped but was finally produced in 1973 at RCA Studios in Hollywood, with the help of Al & Ritchie Schmidt, Rick Jarrard, Harry Nilsson, Jerry Jumonville, Jerry Garcia and o thers; it’s now available from CD Baby. It’s called “Live at RCA” and features a large number of friends who just dropped in and played with the original five members of the band — of course we couldn’t credit them. Oh, check out my coinology shop on eBay while you’re here. I’m on my way to work on it now.

Sandy As Predicted on 5/26/69
Interview with my friend Dickie Dawson on KHJ TV in May of 1969 discussing Quake. Left to right, Dawson, Adi Amin, myself and Arch-Druid Tyrhon.
In several newspaper and tv interviews in May of 1969, I un-predicted the “Great California Earthquake”. The story was carried on all news outlets including Reuters, API and other major newscarriers. The footage appeared on Huntley-Brinkley and other network newscasts. I correctly said that the feared California Earthquake would not happen as predicted — of course there are always earthquakes, but not on the scale expected — but I did predict at that time, correctly, that this century would be marked by lawlessness in the streets, the growth of hoodlumism, a black president and the flooding of NYC. I did not specify the time factors involved, because I couldn’t. All I knew was “someday in the not-too-distant future”, Manhattan streets would be under water and the subways flooded, and I said then, that the rats, sewage, garbage, winds and looters would be more difficult than the flood itself. Now, my question to you is — had you believed me, would you have done anything differently?
Gorby’s Little Grab Bags
“Never sell to a Zombie.” That’s what my grampa Herman told me back when I was only 11 years old and we were on a field-trip, a school holiday during which I got to ride with my grampa as he drove around upper New York State to sell to his clients in Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, Schenectady, Utica, Oneida and back to the city. “When you sell to a zombie,” he continued, “you must sell what zombies buy.” What he might have said today is, “…A zombie will only buy what it’s programmed to buy. Never sell that.” I don’t. Zombies HATE my stuff. What I do offer for Christmas, Chanukah and Kwanzaa, New Year’s Eve, Chinese New Year and of course Hallowe’en and Thanksgiving, are a variety of wonderful exotic Out-of-this-World stocking-stuffers — small gifts that surprise everyone, including the giver!!! I select and wrap each gift for my Gorby’s Little Grab Bags so that when it’s opened, you don’t know until that moment, exactly what you’ve given. Read on for more info:
SlabWay to Heaven
Yeh, it’s true. All that glitters is gold. Forget the glittery stuff, and go for the iron lamp, dude. Listen to Shameless O’Riley when he says you can USE those coin-loaded slabs to Time Travel, Space Travel and as an added attraction, apply them to an electronic wizard such as “SlabWay to Heaven”, my latest offering in Orbs. I’ll be making a video on how to use the slabs in meditation, ritual and healing. Stay tuned for more.

Making Spiritual Work Pay
Sounds funny, right? But the government here and in most places around the world are not interested in subsidizing the spiritual lives of those renunciates who reject all material things including making a livelihood. There are some circumstances which allow individuals to retire from the world and engage fully and completely in spiritual activities. Those circumstances generally involve a lot of money raised by others to allow this to happen. The only way to make your way anymore is to somehow make your spiritual work pay off both in spirit and by putting food on the table, roof over head. Sure, you can be a bum, but there’s an honest “Hobo” way to do it — chop wood, carry water. I’ll be talking about this at the ICW.
Time Travel Made Easy
Back in the 1950s, my dad Horace, who was then the editor of Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine, one of the “Big 3” sci-fi mags of the time, wrote a story for an 800-word gap in the issue, with no time to beg a story from one of his stable of writers…it had to be written overnight. It was exactly 800 words. Short-shorts are very hard to write — trick is to hold the punchline ’til the very, very last moment, without “telegraphing” the ending. In a longer story, the ending doesn’t generally matter much.
What You Will Need
If you’re planning to attend the Thanksgiving Weekend Workshop, you’ll need several items: Loose comfortable clean dance clothes; velvet coin search pad; 40x loupe; if your eyes are not good anymore, you’ll also need an OptiVisor which is available at jewelry supply stores. We can order any or all of the above for you, but NOW is the time to order those things if you expect them to be here for you when you get to the workshop. I’ll be having YOU do the speed-searches, and I’ll inspect and correct as you go. Talk about Zen.

You Asked For It, You Got It!!!
Two things, in specific, were asked for at this weekend’s ICW * if you still don’t know what an ICW is, ask. So, anyhow, the two things that were asked for are:
