Turn left, and you are there. Me, I am the manager. The job is a front. My boss, the owner, likes it that way. Staff come to me to complain, I listen. I do nothing, and I do nothing well. The chronic office farter is nothing; the insatiable refrigerator bandit is nothing; the toilet paper origami fetishist is nothing. But sometimes, doing nothing is not enough to do. Those times, the trouble makers get disappeared and sent to the owner's condominium, third parking level down, where the storage locker lock up has been converted into a dungeon.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>Even before you get to the door</b>, there is the smell. More turned milk than death. Offensive, but not frightening. Inside the door, another door. This one has a defaced election poster for Justin Trudeau. There is a puddle of liquid on the floor. That is how you know you are there. Until you are there, you, maybe, to protect your sanity that first time, can refuse to believe that people are locked up, down there. Sanity is a luxury, you realize. <br />
<br />
<b>Beyond the second door</b>, it just looks like a storage locker lock up. The walls are concrete block, there are uprights of steel with webbing of chain link fence. The smell is worse, like a homeless guy on the subway. Just a few steps in you see the first guy, in locker 104. No, he is not some fellow condo occupant, looking for his camping gear. No. He is the guy that the owner hates. Remember him? He kept taking other people's parking spots last winter. Then he pissed on the owner's car. The owner showed me the security footage. The occupant of storage space 104 pissed (in below freezing weather) all over the passenger keyhole of the owner's car. That was then; now he sits on a nest of stained cardboard, his hair unwashed and uncut from the date of February 14th, when he came down here, rolled up in a carpet. I helped carry him down the stairs; I have not seen him since then. Until today. Thursday, June 27th. <br />
<br />
<b>For the next thirty days</b>, I have to stop by and feed 104 <i>in storage</i>. The boss is on vacation, so he said in his voice mail. He sent me the keys to <i>the storage</i> in a manila envelope in inter office mail. I had forgotten about what's his name in 104. I forgot what's his name's name, too. The note inside the envelope does not mention names, just four smaller envelopes with <i>storage food budget - week one</i> through <i>four</i>. Four envelopes of money; one set of keys. No name. <br />
<br />
<b>What's his name remembers my name</b>. No, I tell him, I am not here to rescue him. No, the rescue people are not coming, I tell him. They are not coming because some pig had parked in their parking space, so they had to go back to rescue headquarters. Maybe the next shift. What's his name, 104, gets really angry.<br />
<br />
<b>I gave him a three pound bag of carrots</b>, to eat. The carrots will be good for his eye sight in that dark place. With the money I saved from the food budget, I bought a strawberry ice crème cone, topped with chocolate and drizzled with nuts. <br />

<br />
<i>Aries:</i> Pursue an aggressive policy of doing nothing this week, Aries. You will get the most done this way. Higher forces will manifest to sweep away the problems that vex you. It will be very satisfying.<br />
<i></i><br />
<i>Taurus:</i> Trouble and temptation strike in pairs. You are well advised to abandon your futile attempts to separate the thing you want from the thing that stops you. Thursday, everything changes. You will have a four hour window of accomplishment.<br />
<i></i><br />
<i>Gemini:</i> Everyone is paying attention to you this week. Your audience hopes that your cogent analysis and discerning directions win the argument, but they really live in fear of what The War God is actually going to do next week. <br />
<i></i><br />
<i>Cancer:</i> A problem goes away Tuesday. An invitation to a party on Wednesday turns into an invitation to a weekend of debauchery. Melt the winter from your bones with the heat of passion, and do it this week. Domestic chores will be done by a silent leather hooded figure.<br />
<i></i><br />
<i>Leo:</i> Your audience awaits, but the stage hands are hungover and have shaky hands from that cheap weed from Etobicoke. Things improve on Tuesday, but you will be unable to quit smoking let alone get rid of that annoying rasp in your throat. The weekend orgy starts on Friday, around lunch.<br />
<i></i><br />
<i>Virgo:</i> Your good suggestions go straight into the ears of The War God. Expect the standard guild rates on commission. Early Saturday comes the first hint that you should strip off your clothes and run around naked.<br />
<i></i><br />
<i>Libra:</i> Your dutiful volunteer work pays off when the old codger with dementia tells you where the money is hidden. Share your hip flask of brandy with a benefactor. <br />
<i></i><br />
<i>Scorpio:</i> Crazed primates inhabiting human bodies make your public life experience a war zone on Monday. Dangers lurk on the road, in the shopping mall, and in any place where baked goods are sold. Tuesday, you will awake with Monday being but a fading memory.<br />
<i></i><br />
<i>Sagittarius:</i> People want you to tell them what to do. Then they can grumble about it, disagree, complain, and return to doing nothing. Surrender yourself to adventure and you will find yourself at the threshold of a summer long orgy.<br />
<i></i><br />
<i>Capricorn:</i> Everything is going according to plan. Hide your glee, lest your minions slack from their toil. A long running illusion is in need of landscaping maintenance. Your quick attentions will lead to temporary relief, but you should be visualizing how to profit and prepare from the inevitable.<br />
<i></i><br />
<i>Aquarius:</i> Your knowledge of the condominium market will prove profitable this week. This will translate into a future relationship based on respect. Do not take the lid off the ant farm, even if you do get a better view.<br />
<i></i><br />
<i>Pisces:</i> Someone, in the course of a relationship dispute, has dumped several interesting but non native species of fish into a body of water that you are tempted to go swimming in. Better for you to be the person doing the heroic rescuing, than the half eaten decomposing body.Fenris Badwulfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16497353023565409439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1548405578093047667.post-14327671854935315392014-09-26T07:34:00.002-07:002014-09-26T07:34:40.626-07:00Stress School<b>Nothing says work day morning</b> more than night time insomnia, nightmares, and feelings of dread like you are dipped in maple syrup and rolled in bran. Getting out of bed is just an invitation to madness. In the darkness, as you stumble to the bathroom for a refreshing glass of water, there is no respite from the certain premonition of doom. You are doomed. You can see your own failed future as surely as you know installed software will not work. Public transit is an invitation to the diversity culture of ebola, tuberculosis, and bedbugs. Public highways are the Roman arena, but instead of chariots, barbarians, and hot sand, you have cars, third world drivers, and pot holed pavements. Your workplace has the brain fungus infection of political correctness: quota based promotions have displaced ability, hours of work time are replaced with hours of sensitivity brainwashing, and your suspicions that there is a bathroom sex ring hogging the stalls where you used to have a relaxing dump could get you fired if you whispered your mind to human resources. They are many, you are few. You have no refuge, no private moments of decompression in a quiet place. You can trust no one: The merest utterance critical of political correctness can be used by the cockroaches of informant culture to leverage themselves into a human resources management position. If you punch a cop in the face, you will be shot, and no baby momma will name their most recent bastard after you. You are stressed. You are on a crusade for rest from anxiety. I know how you feel. I have felt the same way. I have found that there are like minded, caring people, who want to help. You can find help at the<b> Fenris Badwulf School of Telemarketing Excellence.</b> Come to stress school. Become whole again.<br />

This weeks'<b> Horoscope for the week of July 20, 2014</b>, is brought to you by The <i>Pork Parts Producers Association of Ontario</i>. So, before we go on to what you actually want to read, namely a personal map to the future, you will instead be fed fact distorting propaganda. The truth is that most of the pigs out there in Ontario are bred and fed, fattened up, for the human spare parts industry. But let me let you decide for yourself...<br />
<br />
<b>Aries:</b> This is a sleepy week for you, Aries. The outside weather is made for taking a nap while everyone else is off doing your bidding. A foreign war will bring you fast and easy investment profits. Brilliant ideas will come to your in your sleep. You will learn that recharging someone's cell phone will put them into a deep hypnotic sleep while the cell phone recharges.<br />
<br />
<b>Taurus</b>: There are some amazing deals available at your local gardening center. It does not matter what you need, they have it. You will be excited, and your materialist nature rewarded, when you spend your disposable income. You deserve it, Taurus. The more you spend, the more <b>Set, the Snake God</b>, will reward you with power, riches, sexual pleasures, and youthful vigor.<br />
<br />
<b>Gemini:</b> You need a motorcycle. You have always wanted to have a motorcycle. You shall have a motorcycle this week! Freedom is your birthright, so use it wisely. What better way that to take up an unfamiliar set of physical tasks and risk the integrity of your skeletal structure against a transitory feeling of well being? You will learn an important lesson this week, Gemini.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer:</b> Your impressive efforts at preparation for the Zombie Apocalypse now are challenged by the reality needs of group survival. Let the word Warlord cross your lips with yourself as the subject at least once this week. Your people will be Organized. This week, you consolidate Your People into an efficient social contract. This is your destiny for the week, Cancer: As Lawgiver, draw up the Social Contract.<br />
<br />
<b>Leo:</b> The Roman Empire fell because of a failure to develop generally accepted accounting practices. Without double entry accounting, Rome fell, armies went unpaid, crops were left to rot in the fields, and barbarians went without exposure to marketing and advertising. There truth is out there, it is plain to see. Your mission of destiny is to cast your understanding into the future, Leo. <br />
<br />
<b>Virgo:</b> It is a mystery of the Economic gods as to why when we are so poor that we have access to so much. This week you learn the lesson that it is the ripples from the thought objects we throw into the hypothetical pool of possibilities that bring us wealth. Re shaping your thought objects is your goal this week, Virgo. You may unleash the Zombie Apocalypse, but at least your were learning something.<br />
<br />
<b>Libra:</b> Your week is just one long orgy, Libra. That means sex and lots of it. You will not be doing much thinking this week. Your sense desires for sensual pleasures overwhelms your reasoning, and bends your practical mind to an all you can eat buffet that is your week. You will meet a romantic stranger, of course. When you go into the wrong room at the hotel, you will find a bag of money. Take it. It is yours to spend.<br />
<br />
<b>Scorpio:</b> The pleasures of command are yours this week as you special skills are turned to strategy in an intergalactic war. While you sleep, Scorpio, your mind is seconded to the administration of a numberless war fought across endless landscapes, with Newtonian mechanics based weapons. You will have dreams, perhaps nightmares and indigestion. While you are awake, <b>Anubisys, the Supreme War God</b> pampers your physical needs.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius:</b> Extend the number of hours you play at computer games this week. <i>The Invisible Hand of the Market</i> will reward you with exciting offers and time sensitive give aways. Firmware updates mean that you are playing for real on some distant planet. How much do you really care? Choose wisely, there are promotions to be had in the service of <i>The Invisible Hand</i>.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn:</b> The future is dark. Without oil there is so much of our culture missing. What will pass away, Capricorn? Invest in the future. Let the word plantation pass your lips at least once this week. Your neighbors will become sharecroppers. Your sharecroppers. Learn to keep the love alive in the darkness. Your Chinese name is<i> King Rat, Delicious Cake</i>, or <i>Work Horse of Huan</i>. You have choices.<br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius:</b> <b>Anubisys, the Supreme War God, </b>is needful of your service, this week. Someone has to direct <i>Masterpieces of Torture on Film</i>. You can personalize your space, of course. This is a good piece of advice: Erect boundaries between yourself and your questionable co-workers. Only you can differentiate between <i>Masterpieces on Torture of Film</i> and <i>Masterpieces of Torture of Film</i>. Essay topic.<br />
<br />
<b>Pisces</b>: It is infrequent for you to acknowledge your evil side. This is a piece of inner work that most of your kind leave to the last, for good reason. There are greater demons imprisoned by your careful, sin driven pagan magicks. When you unleash them on an unsuspecting population it makes you laugh. This could make you unpopular. Your wizards robes need a summer airing with forest air and barbeque smoke.<br />
<br />

Then a day of misrule by misunderstanding. A great champion appears on Thursday: a Hero in the East. This person is beloved of Invincible Mithras. A clumsy coalition forms on Friday to attempt to ignore the Hero. And that leads into the month of Leo. With a backdrop of grubby incompetents, corrupt shadow dwellers, and fear motivated minions, the Hero is needed, appreciated, and glorious.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Aries:</b> You have the tools and resources available, unfortunately leadership is short sighted and pleasure centered. After Monday, circular reasoning and counter circular leadership means you pretty much get to do what you want anyway. <br />
<br />
<b>Taurus:</b> Ignore the big picture and concentrate on domestic tasks. Your bountiful harvest in the fall is proportionate to your efforts this week. Take delight in using the wrong tool for the task. <br />
<br />
<b>Gemini:</b> You get to advance your secret agenda this week. Nobody is paying much attention to details, so make sure those details steer things your way. You will find a secret.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer</b>: You will win the lottery this week. This will throw your plans into chaos. Grit your teeth and force yourself to rewrite your master plan to include total world domination.<br />
<br />
<b>Leo: </b> You are a star. The sooner people realize this, the better for them. Expect big things to start happening in your life on Thursday. Get some rest before hand.<br />
<br />
<b>Virgo</b>: Cats cannot be herded, unless your drone designs are accepted by a sympathetic munitions interest. You have other good ideas, but they are a few years too early. <br />
<br />
<b>Libra:</b> Be careful in the kitchen. Someone will be accidentally poisoned at dinner on Wednesday. As for work, your good ideas will take a while to circulate back to you. Practice with your yo-yo.<br />
<br />
<b>Scorpio</b>: Unusual sexual demands will be made which will intrigue you. Explore the Japanese export markets for bargains. There are not enough shoe laces in your escape bag.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius:</b> Things will get appreciably better when you hand off a difficult assignment to an expert from afar. You will be recognized as a member of a secret society you have never heard of.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn:</b> You will be the first to recognize the serious implications of the events on Thursday. Put your papers in order. Consider doing some shopping for new underwear.<br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius:</b> A sudden scientific development will intrigue you. Relationships are highlighted. You are never too old to learn new tricks.<br />
<br />
<b>Pisces:</b> A stranger in a crowd will act like they know you. You will find the answers you seek from this chance encounter. This will occur on Wednesday in a crowded place.Fenris Badwulfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16497353023565409439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1548405578093047667.post-82129155711177523562014-07-06T08:11:00.000-07:002014-07-06T08:11:00.647-07:00Horoscope for the week of July 6, 2014<i><b>Avoid crowds on Sunday</b>, especially at places of public amusement. Electricity, of some form, will be involved, so standing around in puddles of water, or expecting computer devices to function correctly will not be a good idea. On Monday, the Sunday crisis is carried over to the capable hands of soldiers and surgeons. On Wednesday, it happens again, but different. This time, the sluggish bureaucracy is prepared and intervenes, so expect fewer casualties. On Thursday, the bureaucracy is firmly in control, and the corrupt electorate is bought, massaged, and given lollipops. By Saturday, the powers behind the throne are turning crisis into opportunity. This should be an exciting week, and the responses of the higher social powers will give you much insight into their secret agendas. </i><br />
<br />
<b>Aries:</b> The flow of life is going at cross purposes to your personal agenda this week, Aries. Be cautious making left turns, or around people making left turns. Distrust all car signals. Those signalling right might be turning left. The fewer people around you the better.<br />
<br />
<b>Taurus:</b> Your Sunday dinner is in danger of ruin. Distractions will lead to recipe failure. Gird your loins and assert your mastery over the kitchen staff. You can easily do two things at once, but three will be pushing the eject button of disaster.<br />
<br />
<b>Gemini:</b> Everything is going according to plan. Your mastery of chaos proves champion as you juggle the incompetent, lazy, and hot tempered minions under your command. As for the plan, best to write it down after the fact and burnish your image.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer:</b> Expect a surprise Wednesday. The fire suppression system is fully capable of handling the electrical fire. Avoid going under ground for sexual liaisons as you will be discovered by an outraged spouse. Pay attention to the fortune cookie left behind.<br />
<br />
<b>Leo:</b> Between Thursday and Saturday is a good time to realize what a wonderful person you really are. Things have been a little grim lately, and will be until then. Remember the cleansing power of fire, especially with insect pests.<br />
<br />
<b>Virgo: </b> You will be impressed by the professionalism of the staff of the company that has the maintenance contract for your private disintegration chamber. Some routine upkeep is required for your shoe collection.<br />
<br />
<b>Libra</b>: You will pass off a disagreeable project to a disagreeable person on Monday. James Bond does not drink wine from the bottle. Someone else knows about your hidden camera.<br />
<br />
<b>Scorpio:</b> Always be prepared to attend an orgy. Battery powered toys are safe, but ones powered by cords could malfunction. You are sexually irresistible on Wednesday.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius:</b> You are the agent of the forces of Justice on Thursday. You are the hero, the person who saves the day, protects the weak, and is incorruptible. You will win the lottery.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn</b>: Your mail order guide to Spontaneous Human Combustion will arrive later than you expected. A small opportunity is lost, but a far greater one gained. <br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius:</b> If an electrical device is broken, do not attempt to repair it. Let someone else do it. Your fingers are best attached to your hand. <br />
<br />
<b>Pisces:</b> You will pass a neighbors car that has a person locked in the trunk. There is a mystery here which will unravel over the next three weeks.<br />

On Monday, the issue rises to the conscious level. On Wednesday, a consensus forms. And on Saturday, the issue becomes subordinated to the usual suspicious factions of self interest. Ah yes, the long term insidious effects of Pluto in Capricorn, where voters vote against their own interests, politicians campaign on issues and then, elected, work against them. This is all part of the destruction construction process of Pluto in the newly minted Age of Aquarius. Be observant in your own life for the issue that bubbles up Monday, finds definition Wednesday, and becomes subverted by Saturday.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Aries:</b> The accident you suffered last week is now into healing mode. You are distracted by short term and small issue needs of the shallow, appearances only crowd. Buck up, Aries. You have had a profound experience which will find correct expression, but not this week. Ruminate until the 27th of July, at which point you will be unleashed.<br />
<br />
<b>Taurus:</b> This week will be a challenge for your ability to do two things at one time, to think one way, and act another. Older people are the agents of your oppression. You are well aware that your long term strategic goals hinge upon short term tactical efforts. To wit: feign retreat to lure the foe into ambush.<br />
<br />
<b>Gemini:</b> Be warned, you will be handed a hot potato on Wednesday. This will be one of those unsolvable problems that you have not the mandate, resources, nor agenda to solve. Use your bureaucratic skills of obfuscation to delay until Saturday, when a more deserving sacrificial lamb steps forward. Think referral fees.<br />
<br />
<b>Cancer:</b> Let the big fish deal with the big picture. You are doing just fine. Resources become available in a step wise fashion: they arrive Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Your project of expansion is aided by your continuing streak of good luck, good choices, and good friends.<br />
<br />
<b>Leo:</b> Take your clothes off and run around naked every day this week. This is a clever way of saying that the problems of other people belong to other people, not you. The peasants should not be crawling to you with all their problems all the time, O King of the Zodiac.<br />
<br />
<b>Virgo:</b> You will be handed all most all of the resources you need to solve two strategic problems in your life on Wednesday. So what? Evolution has not caught up to your advanced state, which is a pity. Download occurs on Saturday.<br />
<br />
<b>Libra:</b> You will have the opportunity for a new romance Saturday, even if the paper pushing requirements of life keep you distracted until then. Be prepared to party. You have a secret admirer, of course. Look around to see who is pining for your caress.<br />
<br />
<b>Scorpio:</b> Invention and industry are at your command. Unfortunately, you are under the command of fickle fashion and shallow tastes. Renew your allegiance to your secret agenda. This is the time to put aside resources and information for your future campaigns of self interest.<br />
<br />
<b>Sagittarius:</b> Good thing you are good at thinking on your feet. You are beholden to the agenda of others this week, and the others keep changing. Think of yourself as a Roman Army commander. The emperor keeps changing. Your mission is to keep your troops loyal ... to you.<br />
<br />
<b>Capricorn:</b> Everything is going according to plan. The plan is patience, endurance, and those stubborn skills you have in spades. Which is good, but somewhat frustrating. Listen to good advice, learn from invention, and break down and have some fun.<br />
<br />
<b>Aquarius:</b> You are the servant of the War God this week. In an indirect way, your musings and judgements are of value to those who push pawns around the chess board of life. Capture and share your thoughts for the appreciation of others. You have powerful friends.<br />
<br />
<b>Pisces:</b> Ships may sink under you this week, but you will be found dry and content aboard a lifeboat. Have confidence that you are going the right way, even as the herd heads towards their doom. It would be in your best interests to re read Freud's Interpretation of Dreams.<br />

Finally, Ontario has put to rest the racist, sexist, homophobic past and elected a woman, a gay woman. What a relief. The sun is shining. <br />
<br />
Voters in Ontario have said yes to pension security, employment justice, and vacation rights. I am willing to bet your pension, livelihood, and happiness on that. You can quote me on that too. <br />
<br />
The gloomy hyperbole about economic collapse is dispersing like snow in a Global Warming winter. Remember last winter? Remember the children asking 'Will I ever see snow again?'. Yup. <br />
<br />
I was sitting on the subway and I let off a long, silent fart of happiness. The train was stopped because of delays. I wanted to share my joy. Later, while waiting in traffic to make a left turn (only one block before some traffic lights) I was savoring the waving fists of happiness and the honking horns of consensus. All is good. You can let your dog take a crap in the park knowing that someone else is responsible. The children have spoken. <br />
<br />
There will be no layoffs in the civil service. There will be more regulations to protect the earth. Health care will be better and faster. My white guilt is gone like jism down the throat of a sex trade worker. <br />
<br />
Share in the happiness. Join me. Fart on the subway. Make left turns in rush hour. Embrace the black market economy and keep your money for yourself. You will have to provide the services the government promises and taxes for, so keep your money for that purpose. The wolf will lay down after filling his belly with lamb and sleep the contented sleep that only a wolf in a land of doltish shepherds can.<br />

Thinking of hedging your bets? A little sick feeling at the thought of the leftist bunglers in the White House in taking on a determined foe that does not embrace incompetence?

This rainy Saturday the boys are getting their homework done so that in the afternoon we can head out into the woods and hunt hitchhikers along the nature trail that stretches from Erin to Hillsburgh. This weekend they are doing a project on Diversity, for mathematics class. To help them, they have stolen a number of picture filled books (from the 'early readers' section) for a source of pictures to be cut out and then pasted into their Diversity project. I care about their education, so I, Fenris Badwulf, am helping them. One of the sacrificed books is titled <i>The Ballad of Mister Cucumber</i>. It is a politically correct book. I am going to share it with you before I take the straight razor to it.<br />
<br />
<i>This is the Ballad of Mister Cucumber.</i><br />
<br />
Your first clue that Mister Cucumber is politically correct is that Mister Cucumber is not a cucumber green, he is pink. There is only one line of print per page (in a large, low literacy friendly font, to be expected for books for low literacy readers passed on to an Ontario high school). Mister Cucumber is pink, and is surrounded by happy, smiling vegetation only found on acid trips to gay bars on drag night.<br />
<br />
<i>I am lonely</i><br />
<br />
The next page features the pink Mister Cucumber addressing the reader. All of the other plants, snails, slugs, worms and other life forms of the acid consciousness of the illustrator are all sad. There are tears at the eye of Mister Cucumber.<br />
<br />
<i>Will you be my friend?</i><br />
<br />
Page three of the narrative and the socialist theme is moving in on my wallet and property rights with all the silence of a constrictor snake towards a sleeping baby. Why develop discernment? Who is this pink cucumber that wants my friendship? I am filled with questions, but the politically correct brainwashing document wants me to just deed the gift of friendship to any who merely ask. How about the author of this tome, the illustrator, the publisher? Have they made friends with the pink cucumber?<br />
<br />
<i>My neck is sore</i><br />
<br />
Page four. I do not know how to interpret this. As an experiment, I used my falsetto voice and quoted these four lines to Mrs. Badwulf. She punched me in the kidney. I asked her<i> why</i>, and she said <i>you know why</i>. Well, I do not know why. And there are no more pages to the Ballad, as some mischief maker has torn those pages from the book. This is the mystery of the lonely pink cucumber with a sore neck, as found in the abandoned reading section for high school students who perform far sub-par to high school reading level.<br />
<br />
Somewhere, out there, one of you has page five and the answers we seek.<br />

We give our time, without reservation. Mrs. Badwulf is an accounting professional, so owning and running and profiting from running a non-profit is a snap to her flying fingers. Also, we accept wages, bonuses, commissions, and expenses as meager recompense for our leadership role in this caring crusade. It is amazing the funding from state sources that can be tapped ... unleashed with a few simple misdirections on paper, some staged photographs, and trivial examples of wishful thinking.<br />

Charlatan the Third</b> is our fictitious leader. He symbolizes the important work done by the organization. All of our volunteers receive recommendations signed in his name. A hushed cult of the personality exists around his shadowy non-existence. His voice mail is always active, and Charles responds to emails, writes correspondence, and occasionally leaves voice messages. His influence on the charity is everywhere, as if to make up for his never existing. His signature appears on grant applications, appeals for donations, and requests for funding. He even leaves fingerprints, if it comes down to a forensic audit.<br />

His signature appears on every document, a veritable bread crumb along the audit trail. He has an office, a business card, and an email address. His invisible shoulders bear the heavy responsibility of being responsible in the event of tax audit or police investigation. Impeachable documents exist proving his timely exit from Toronto to places overseas. Everybody loves Billy, and nobody would suspect him of fraud, larceny, or bunko. As Mrs. Badwulf and I clink our champagne glasses together, we share a smile and practice our response: <i>Where did the money go, detectives?</i>

Give it up, those confiscated tens of dollars; give it up into our clutches! These progressives are engaged in a value for value exchange: they get their white guilt stroked. Oh, the touching images of waifs, of tears on childrens' cheeks, and gnarly lap dogs sad without a bone. There are keepsakes for the elite guardians of other peoples money: a touching letter written in pidgin English saying Thank You, a knotted doll made by a blind girl, or a paw print on a bit of kraft paper. How the tears flow; and then the zeros on the check. They give, I spend, and you pay.<br />
<br />
<b>Down in the basement of Fenris Badwulf</b> live the people who do the actual work. Volunteers have spotty effort levels. Volunteers are just looking for volunteer hours for various statist requirements: high school graduation, corporate ballsack licking, or parole requirements. Nobody is a volunteer down in the basement. Over time, their skin grows pale: like winter in Toronto, there is no sunlight down there. Their hair is patchy; maybe they should wash ... but tap water contributes to Global Warming, so it is better, Gaia-wise, to let them scratch and stink. They make great telemarketers these basement citizens. They will close a donation to get a commission of a cup of rice, a spoon of beans, or a square of cardboard to sleep upon. The most depraved degradations are their familiar companions. How else to further the agenda of raising money to fight the demons of the age: Global Warming, Fracking, or Fag Awareness? These former people never celebrated Christmas, so taking the Christ of Christmas and making them agents of the Happy Holidays only seemed right, er, left.<br />
<br />
<b>I know you care. </b> You care about the Thrall-Canadians in my basement. Send me your money. You will get a tax receipt. Ask for the brochure about pro-rating your giving to be in friendly proportion to your tax receipting. Tell me what favors and gifts should be showered upon the basement dwellers. I know you care.<br />

Instead, realize that you can use it to shape the future.<br />
<br />
<b>In order to improve the accuracy and clarity of your views of the future</b>, I suggest this method. Visualize a future time when your goal has been achieved. Make a pact with yourself that, in the future, when you have achieved this particular goal, that you will formulate the thoughts about how long, what resources, what skills, and what events would be useful, advantageous, to know in the present. Of course, when you do succeed, carry thorough with your pact. Transmit to the past what would be useful to know.

Having had some business with the Major Arcana we can now turn our attention to the lesser or Minor Arcana.</b> You will be using the Minor Arcana, of course, in your work to bend the universe to your ends.
<br /><br />
<b>The three card phrase. </b> The Kabbalah hints at the concept of pairing and grouping together of letters (Major Arcana) to form more complex concepts. The same can be done with the lesser. I assume you are familiar with some of the basic concepts. For example, there is a progression from Ace to Ten, a natural flow. Let us utilize the triad of Ace, Nine, Ten...
<br /><br />
<b>There are some sixty four combinations of Ace - Nine - Ten</b>. I suggest you avoid the selections that use the suit of Swords (er, spades) for now. For material wealth, those with the Ace of Pentacles are effective; likewise Cups for romance and fertility; and Wands for wisdom. Keep track of what you are doing in your journal to fine tune the results.Fenris Badwulfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16497353023565409439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1548405578093047667.post-78536164315173109992013-08-17T05:56:00.000-07:002013-08-17T05:56:59.624-07:00How to bend people to your will using the Tarot<b>Having done some serious work</b> bringing Saturn into equilibrium one may now move forward to pick from the fruit of the trees in the Garden of Eden. Which fruit to pick? Is the fruit ripe? How do you prepare the fruit: peeled? squeezed? or in a dish of creme? Indeed. You are presented with the riddle of the Sphinx: which would you have: Power? Wealth? Beauty? Wisdom? You are no slouch, you know this story. The correct answer is always Wisdom. And for wisdom, you must bring Mercury and Jupiter into equilibrium. This is <i>the Magician</i> and <i>the Wheel of Fortune</i>.<br />
<br />
<b>This operation works best if, somehow, The Hierophant can be worked into the tableau</b>. Are either of your natal planets, Mercury or Jupiter, resident in Taurus or Scorpio? This is not the case for everyone. So, let Fenris Badwulf tell you how to do this ... take out the tarot trumps for the signs where your Mercury and Jupiter reside, as well as <i>the Magician</i> and <i>the Wheel of Fortune</i>. Construct the two by two matrix, like before. Something like Mercury/Capricorn in the top row, and Cancer/Jupiter on the bottom. Now, to work in the Hierophant you must place the card beside the tableau to the left, then above, then below, then to the right. You can vary the above below right left. This time you must study the tableau four times. Record your observations in your journal.
<br />
<br />
<b>Mercury is the messenger between the Conscious and Subconscious mind.</b> The Subconscious mind has communication with the collective; and the collective has layers of its own (and messengers, of course, between the layers). If you want access to wisdom, which is in the gift of Jupiter, then you want to have conscious access to it. The Hierophant gives you sharper hearing when you listen for wisdom.

Bringing Saturn into Equilibrium is a time consuming process, but worth the effort. </b> You can look back on your struggles and laugh. You can shake your fist at the World, for you have overcome the lesser challenges of nature and situation. Re-read your notes in your journal. There you will find fresh insight, and you will find your journal entries to be a continuing source of enlightenment from now on.
<br /><br />
<b>It takes a full lunar month for your insights to become firmly installed in your life.</b> In this time, you can contemplate the methods of actively writing the future, rather than being a passive reader.
<br /><br /> So, we have all used the lesser arcana of the Tarot deck to predict the future. Some variant of arrangement of cards is used: a Celtic Cross, Gypsy Circle, or something. Here are some elementary rules to changing the future, your future, with the Tarot:
<br /><br />
<b>Exchange of cards.</b>
<br /><br />
<b>1. Court cards.</b> You can exchange from the spread to the deck. Keep to the same suit. For example, the liar, the Page of Cups, can be exchanged with the more noble Knight of Cups. If the Page of Cups is an outcome card, you can upgrade the outcome by exchanging the 'small potatoes' Page with the high powered King of Cups. The court cards of a suit can be exchanged with another court card, but stick to the same suit.
<br /><br />
<b>2. Number cards.</b> The difficult experiences of the nine and ten of swords can be swapped out for the four.
<br /><br />
<b>Do some experiments. </b> Keep notes in your journal.Fenris Badwulfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16497353023565409439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1548405578093047667.post-75333311862155060992013-07-11T09:32:00.002-07:002013-07-11T09:32:39.332-07:00How to bend people to your will using the Tarot<b>So, what actually causes the greater evils in the world? </b> This is the world you live in, the world you find yourself in when you wake up in the morning, the one you travel through to work, to school, to buy goods and services. In the present time, we rarely talk about the causes of social ills. The thief that takes your property, the vandal that litters on your lawn, the pet poop on the sidewalk, all can be called <i>sharp action</i>. You may theorize about what causes <i>sharp action</i> in other people, both as victims and agents. The correct inquiry is what causes it around you. Placing Saturn and Mars into equilibrium will reveal to you the invisible lightning rods that attract sharp actions against you, and why you are tempting into such things yourself.
<br /><br />
<b>Method:</b> take out the tarot trumps that represent Saturn and Mars (the World and the Lightning Struck Tower). Take out the trumps that represent the signs these planets reside in your natal horoscope. Arrange into a matrix, like before.

Bringing Saturn into equilibrium with <i>the two lights</i>, Sun and Moon, does make manifest those things which are of the class described as 'family curses'. You have an excellent, hands on based, knowledge set and personal experiences with the concept now.

The Family Curse.</b>
<br /><br /> <b>Saturn in Equilibrium.</b> We all carry burdens from past generations. Putting Saturn into equilibrium is usually a life's work, but for the impatient adept it is typical that this quest be journeyed early. An alliance with Saturn is a requirement for bending people to your will. You will observe that up to now we have only placed Saturn into equilibrium with its opposite, Jupiter. Refer to your journal to observe the effects. Now it is time to begin the series of balancing efforts to bring Saturn into equilibrium with the Sun, Moon, Venus, and finally Mars.
<br /> <br />
<b>Saturn and the Sun in Equilibrium. </b> Place the tarot trumps for Saturn (the World) and the Sun (the Sun, conveniently) beside each other. Now take from your deck the trumps representing the sign where your Saturn resides and the sign opposite. Do the same for your sun sign. You should have four cards; unless you have a Sun - Saturn conjunction or opposition, in which case you will have two. Arrange the 'sign' cards around the 'planet' cards. Study them; observe similarities, differences, and count numbers.
<br /> <br />
<b>The Family Curse.</b> Curses travel through families, but not from parent to child, but through generations. When you bring the Sun and Saturn into equilibrium your family curse will become made known to you. Cause and effect cycling through the generations. With the curse comes talents, abilities, and gifts. This will be made aware to you when you bring Saturn and the Moon in Equilibrium. Keep notes in your journal of your discoveries.Fenris Badwulfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16497353023565409439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1548405578093047667.post-13831481265852799562013-06-15T07:52:00.000-07:002013-06-15T07:52:00.720-07:00How to bend people to your will with Tarot<b>4. Journal keeping.</b>
<br /><br />
<b>While the cold cunning of your memory</b> might be sufficient to retain the cause and effect of your experiments in equilibrium, I suggest you keep a journal. Keep track of what cards you are studying, what arrangements you place them in; as well, note the events of your day. This will help you to note the correspondences between action and effect, which cards effect which areas of your life.
<br /><br />
<b>With your journal</b> you can begin to craft experiments to determine if effects are accidental or the result of your efforts. As a suggestion, repeat a card arrangement: does it bring about similar results? Learn, Dare, write it down.
<br /><br />
<b>That being said</b>, you can now bring the seven personal planets into equilibrium. I suggest you start with Mercury, which is represented by the tarot trump t<i>he Magician</i>. Your natal Mercury resides in a sign and house. From the tarot deck take out the cards representing the sign and its opposite, as well as the house and its opposite. Arrange these four cards around the Magician. If there is some sort of overlap (like the sign and house are the same, or opposite), just use the two cards. These special cases (such as Mercury in Libra in the Seventh house, Mercury in Scorpio in the Second house, Mercury in Sagittarius in the Third house, and so on) are the ones that will yield results most worthy of your attention in your journal.Fenris Badwulfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16497353023565409439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1548405578093047667.post-6080156874150927262013-06-09T06:58:00.002-07:002013-06-09T06:58:18.528-07:00How to bend people to your will using the Tarot<b>3. Equilibrium.</b>
<br /><br />
<b>In life, it is our romantic natures that most often lead us astray. </b> After you have brought your Mars/Venus polarity into equilibrium, you can now bring your Sun/Moon and Saturn/Jupiter polarities into this same state.
<br /><br />
Referring to your horoscope, take out the tarot trumps for Saturn (the World), Jupiter (the Wheel of Fortune), and that of the astrological signs where your natal Saturn and Jupiter are resident. Arrange the cards into a two by two matrix of the form
<br />
<i>sign planet
<br />
planet sign</i>
<br />
If your Saturn and Jupiter are in the same sign (conjunct, so to speak), use the sign opposite.
<br /> <br />
<b>How to look at tarot cards.</b> Scan the cards and look for similarities and differences. As a suggestion, start with colors. Where does red occur in the cards? Where is orange? Yellow? Green? Blue? Violet? Look for common items: shoes, footwear, what is on their feet, or are their feet concealed? Which foot: right or left? Other items to consider: plants, such as roses; objects held in the hand, such as swords, wands, staffs; Which way are the figures looking? You are not required to have answers or understanding. This wisdom lies resident in your subconscious; merely looking upon the cards (of a well constructed deck) will evoke the effects sought.

<i>The World</i> represents the astrological planet Saturn, and is attributed to the Center of the Cube of Space. Which is to say, a point of equilibrium, or more accurately, <i>the point of equilibrium.</i> To be enlightened, one must be in equilibrium; the unpleasant attributes of Saturn (just read the extensive literature on the subject) are associates of the process of <i>moving towards equilibrium</i>.

<br />
<b>Moving towards equilibrium</b> involves applying equal but opposite forces to correct motion and direction. In order to bend people to your will, you will need sufficient judgement to determine the correcting vector that needs to be applied. There is a difference between outcome and the corrective force needed to result in desired outcome. Trial and error has been the rule for beginner and intermediate practitioners. Why? This is tedious; mistakes and errors lead to hilarious, dangerous, or even terminal consequences. There is a list of support skills: one must keep a journal, be objective, and observant. Ugh. There must be an easier, quicker, more effective way. And there is: you can use the Tarot.
<br /><br />
<b>The Basics. </b> There are seven visible planets in Astrology, which correspond to the seven directions found in the Cube of Space. There are three pairs, namely Sun and Moon, Mars and Venus (the <i>Tower</i> and the <i>Empress</i>), and Jupiter and Saturn (the <i>Wheel of Fortune</i> and the <i>World</i>). Mercury corresponds to the <i>Magician</i>. In your natal horoscope, which you should be familiar with, these planets are found in signs, and houses. Go get your chart cast and be familiar with this nomenclature; you will need it.
<br /><br />
<b>Bring yourself into Equilibrium.</b> You will find it so much simpler to bend people to your will if you are in Equilibrium first. Take this as good advice. Your desires are influenced by the drive towards Equilibrium. Why have your subjugated minions become useless after you yourself are changed? It is easy and simple to bring yourself into perfection; after that, you are a fulcrum, anvil, and hammer around which others can be bent to your will. To do this, we start by balancing the three basic pairs of planets.

<b>Bring true love into your life.</b> Start <a href="http://fenris-badwulf.blogspot.ca/2012/02/generic-love-spell.html">here</a> This is using four tarot cards, arranged into a two by two matrix. Use the Empress for Venus, The Tower for Mars, and the card that correspond to the sign that your Venus resides in, and the card for your Mars sign. If Mars and Venus are in the same sign, use the sign opposite.

Which deck to use?</b>
</br></br>
<b>Before we start</b>, I must comment on the diversity of Tarot decks available in this, the early twenty-first century.
</br></br>
<b>The tarot deck you use for this work</b> (and, later, you will be using more than one deck) should be one to which you feel a connection. It is also important that the iconography of the cards be clear and consistent.
</br></br>
<b>Tarot cards </b>appear around the same time as card making technology, which in the Western civilizations is around the fifteenth century. Cards are merely a useful technology to communicate a concept. The underlying concept is that of a twenty-two item set that is linearly independent and can be used to describe the Universe. There are twenty one items in a set that can describe the faces and edges of a cube. The six faces correspond to the six planets of astrology (with the outermost visible planet, Saturn, describing the center), and the twelve signs of the zodiac describing the twelve edges of the cube. The three remaining cards describe up-down, east-west, and north-south change of direction vectors, and correspond to the 'outer planets' in astrology: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. <a href="http://www.bota.org/">The Builders of the Adytum</a> do the best job of explaining this system and to their weighty body of written work you are directed for more details.
</br></br>
<b>This set of vectors</b>, the tarot, is well defined and corresponds tightly to astrology. One can use the nomenclature of either to define concepts.
</br></br>
In the past, practice was for initiates to make their own tarot decks. Before card technology, this involved making a set of amulets. Cards are easier, so that technology has taken over.
</br></br>
<b>I suggest that you use the BOTA or Rider-Waite deck</b>. I suggest that, in your travels, you find the time to either color a deck, or, even better, craft your own.
</br></br>
<b>We will start</b> by using the major arcana.
