Metaphysical Musings…Black Magic
Recently I made a comment on Black Magic in a group I belong to; I referred to it as a ‘Dark Art’. To say that my comment created a furore is an understatement, so I will tread gently today and look at Magic from a number of perspectives.
Magic; according to the encyclopaedia is the:
‘Art of producing a desired effect or result through the use of incantation or various other techniques that presumably assure human control of supernatural agencies or the forces of nature.’
Magic itself has long been practiced in many cultures worldwide and in some areas of the world it is seen as being a religious or spiritual practice. In different cultures, various types of ‘magicians’, (people who practice magic) may be differentiated based on their abilities, their sources of power, and on moral considerations, including divisions into different categories like sorcerer, witch, healer and others. Magic has often been viewed with suspicion by the wider community, and in the past it was commonly practiced in isolation and or secrecy. Modern Western magicians generally state magic’s primary purpose to be personal and to do with spiritual growth. Magic can also be spelt Magick and it is this spelling that I believe is used by the ‘non colour’ or white magician, who may also be a follower of a ‘pagan path’. Magick is an early modern English spelling for magic and was used in works such as the 1651 translation of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa’s De Occult Philosphia/Three Books of Occult Philosophy, or of Magick. Aleister Crowley the British occultist chose the spelling of ‘Magick’ to differentiate the Occult levels from Stage Magic, and defined Magick as “the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will”, including both “mundane” acts of will as well as ritual magic. Crowley wrote that:
“It is theoretically possible to cause in any object any change of which that object is capable by nature.”
In the specific instance of the ‘Dark Arts and Black Magic’ we are looking at the opposite side of the coin to the ‘white magician’, this is someone who specifically works in the occult field with the intention of doing harm. Here you are dealing with the types of spells and programs which are ‘cast’ or projected with deliberation by someone with more than a little knowledge or guidance, and a personal awareness of what are termed the ‘dark arts’. This person may refer to themselves as a Magician, a Witchdoctor, a Juju man/woman and so on. They may also work under the cover of a façade as a Healer, or offer a ‘healing service’ as a lure to the client. Black Magic is often used in a malicious way, and will generally surface as a trespass upon your person or upon the person/persons for whom it is intended. It is a known and deliberate invasion of the space of another, and an energetic trespass. Black Magic we can say is performed ‘with Intent’ and the practitioner may require or use personal items belonging to you, such as hair and nail clippings, personal clothing, your hand writing, possessions and so on. While these ‘physical items are not necessarily required, they are believed to make the spell or curse more powerful. Many Black Magic Practitioners are also followers of the Voodoo path and will offer a Voodoo Doll or an Effigy of the person to assist in strengthening the spell or curse. Or in some instances some other object to ‘Bind’ the curse or spell more deeply.
Often, ceremonial rites, sacrifices, blood rites, fore swearing’s, energetic invocations and energetic projections are used by the Black Magician to strengthen or assist in the creation of the spell or curse. These may include affiliation with living beings in all and any forms, including plant, insect, animal, and human life as well as known and unknown energies and through forms which may be called on or deliberately created for such purpose. This includes such energetic invasions and projections as may have come through the thought, word, and or deed of another, both with intention or what may be termed ‘malice aforethought’. This is especially true of those energetic invasions which have been invoked using external sources and or physical objects, as well as the invocation of the name or names of a known or perceived power object or source, e.g. goddesses, priests, and hierarchies of ancient knowledge as well as deities, both known and unknown.
So how can Black Magic affect you?
Remember that energies both light and dark can come to you in many ways, through the telephone, the internet, television, and through personal and absent contact with other people, even through the window of the car while you are driving. In the instance of dark energies they may also be attached to gifts and tokens that are given or presented to you, or secreted about your home or workplace. Does the pretty plant in a pot that you placed in your garden have a deeper and more sinister meaning for example? Has the energy in your home become unpleasant and disruptive since you brought home the ‘gift’ from your partner’s previous romantic alliance? In some instances of Black Magic, items may appear or disappear, transmute, become unsubstantial or in some instances they may self-combust.
A word of warning: if you believe that you are or have been under the influences of Black Magic, please do not ignore the situation, and should you choose to have some one assist you in removing the effects of it, please find a reputable and trained person to do so.

UFO…1966 Westall High School UFO Mass Sighting
At approximately 11.00 am on Wednesday, 6 April 1966, a class of students and a teacher from Westall High School (now Westall Secondary College) were just completing sport on the main oval when an object, described as being a grey saucer-shaped craft with a slight purple hue and being about twice the size of a family car, was alleged to have been seen. According to witnesses the object was descending and then crossed and overflew the high school’s south-west corner, going in a south-easterly direction, before disappearing from sight as it descended behind a strip of trees and into a paddock at The Grange in front of the Westall State School (primary students). After a short period (approximately 20 minutes), the object – with witnesses now numbering over 200 – then climbed at speed and departed towards the north-west. As the object gained altitude some accounts describe it as having been pursued from the scene by five unidentified aircraft which circled the object.
“It was silvery-grey and seemed to thicken at times…the thickening was similar to when a disc is turned a little to show the underside.“
- Andrew Greenwood (Teacher)
“About the size of ‘two family cars’…passed him at a distance of about ‘four football fields’…it was silvery, but it had a sort-of purple hue to it, very bright, but not bright enough that you couldn’t look at it…I saw that it dropped down behind the trees, and I thought, ‘hello, hang on’. A minute or so later, it went straight up, just gone…The way this thing moved there is no way it could have been a weather balloon or a light aircraft…A helicopter? No way no noise, wrong shape, and it didn’t move like it. It came out of the distance, stopped, and then just dropped.”
-Shaun Matthews (on the object), The Sunday Age
The Dandenong Journal covered the encounter in detail and ran two front-page stories. The first was on 14 April and the next was on 21 April. Broadsheet newspaper, The Age ran a very small article about the Westall incident on 7 April 1966, on page 6:
“Object Perhaps Balloon – An unidentified flying object seen over the Clayton-Moorabbin area yesterday morning might have been a weather balloon. Hundreds of children and a number of teachers at Westall School, Clayton, watched the object during morning break.”
Witnesses and researchers were surprised when The Sun News-Pictorial (a tabloid) ran no story, yet The Age (a broadsheet) did. The Sun and The Herald newspapers, while not mentioning the Westall incident, both published cartoons in the following day’s editions that made light of the flying saucer phenomena. GTV Channel 9 television also ran a news report about the encounter. A student, Joy Tighe, described the event for the reporter. However, a copy of this film is not available. Channel 9 reports that it was removed from their archive and not returned.
“I couldn’t tell you what it was. It certainly wasn’t a light aircraft or anything of the like …I saw the thing drop down behind the pine trees and saw it leave again. I couldn’t tell you how long it was there for, it was such a long time ago…went up and off very very rapidly. I went over and there was a circle in the clearing. It looked like it had been cooked or boiled, not burnt as I remember. A heap of kids from Westall primary and high school came charging through to see what had happened ‘look at this, look at that, we saw it as well’, that sort of thing. It was a bit of a talking point for a couple of days.”
-Shaun Matthews (on holidays in Westall at the time), The Sunday Age
Did anyone investigate this event?
The alleged sighting was investigated by two groups:
- The Victorian Flying Saucer Research Society (VFSRS)
- Phenomena Research Australia (PRA).
Both groups described it as being one of Australia’s major unexplained UFO cases. The VFSRS team arrived on the site on 8 April and spoke to students and viewed the marked ground. The VFSRS printed an image and a small report in their magazine ‘Australian UFO Bulletin’ in December 2000. An investigator, Brian Boyle (PRA), arrived at the site on 9 April with four army investigators. Boyle did a number of interviews, which he recorded on tape, over a number of days and took samples from the marked ground. These investigators were able to speak to many of the witnesses as it was over the Easter holiday period (8–11 April).
What happened post the event?
It was reported by many of the students and teachers that witnessed the event that pressure was put upon them to not speak of the event with any other persons, including their close family members.
“Students and staff have been instructed to ‘talk to no-one’ about the incident.”
-The Dandenong Journal (front-page news two weeks in a row)
How was the event debunked?
- Although some witnesses reported five Cessna-type aircraft around the object, investigators were unable to find any record of such aircraft. Moorabbin Airport, which is 4.76 km (south-west) from the location, was checked but no aircraft from that airport entered the airspace. The RAAF also reported no military activity in that area.
- The Australian Skeptics described the object as potentially having been an experimental military aircraft. They suggest that it may have been a nylon target drogue, like a windsock, towed by one plane for the others to chase and known to be in use by the local RAAF at the time.
- Witness video recordings taken at the time have been misplaced (removed).
- The Sun and The Herald newspapers both published cartoons in the following day’s editions that made light of the flying saucer phenomena.

Crystal Healing…Idocrase
Idocrase is also known as Vesuvianite since it was discovered on Mt Vesuvius. It is a high energy stone which can help in all kinds of problems in all chakras. However, different colored Idocrases help in different functions. For example the yellow-green versions of this stone aid in the stimulation and integration of all the chakras particularly the heart and the solar plexus and heart chakras which aids in the alignment of thoughts and the intuitive guidance of the heart. This alignment is essential for enhancing the will while suppressing the over egoistic instincts of a person.
What does it physically need?
Idocrase is beneficial in:
- enhancing the strength of the teeth enamel
- enhancing the creative side of the brain
- healing skin related ruptures and eruptions – such as acne
- the proper and complete absorption and assimilation of all the nutrients present in food
- treating diverticilosis
Vesuvianite is mainly used for support at all levels. Hence, at the physical level, this stone can aid in strengthening:
- the legs and feet which helps in alleviating conditions like varicose veins and spider veins

Metaphysical Musings…The Website of Your Life
The wonderful Internet has bestowed upon us so many unanticipated opportunities. Recently, I have had the privilege and responsibility of helping design a website for my Mystic Marks bookmarks. I have worked diligently and excitedly with my web designer, Renee Bledsoe, of Fort Myers, Florida. Renee has a very poetic web name: She Who Weaves the Web. As I was first searching for a web designer a couple of years ago, I happened upon her website, read her philosophy, saw her web name and immediately fell into what I call Grace with her. A few weeks later I was visiting my sister who lives in Bonita Springs, Florida and went to Fort Myers to meet Renee. I knew immediately that this was the web designer for me. The moment was electric and inspiring and, at the same time, peaceful and gentle. Two years later I was ready to leap off the end-grain and share my thoughts with the larger arena of the world stage.
Renee and I worked on the website over the course of a few months. Several delays occurred. One because of a seven week illness I experienced this summer. Another came because I was asked to design bookmarks to meet a special need of several clients and everything stopped while I addressed that request. During this time, Renee intuitively knew that we needed to gently wait out the Divine messages that were coming into the picture and that they would, of course, enhance the website’s design.
When we were finally able to direct our energies full-force on the project, we were both delighted to find how beautifully our visions merged in this creation at every turn. We share the same spiritual view of life and this led us to amazing discoveries and inspirations that evolved as we talked and worked together. Renee is a masterful artist and teacher and she was determined to make sure that I would LOVE the website design and every part of it. We took great care with each choice of color and font and design and, as we worked, new and wonderful ideas kept entering the scene.
When the website was completed, I discovered that this accomplishment was exerting great power in my life. I was intrigued by the dynamics of how this was happening. I found myself waking up in the morning calmed by some aspect of the website or one of the messages on it. It was teaching me, mentoring me, soothing me and, most important of all, it was inspiring me.
One of these mornings I awoke with the words Gentle Reminder singing in my heart. I wondered where they had come from. I thought about the beautiful, calm blue green of the website design and it made me feel gentle. I realized then that the website was working its magic. Next, I found myself applying these words to my life approach, and, in particular, to the times when I would berate or judge myself for not living up to my expectations. I am a deeply sensitive, intense person and whenever I am dealing with something, it tends to pop up in bold, technicolored hues. Now, the blue green of my website was showing the concept of gentle to me and I realized that at these times I only needed to whisper the words Gentle Reminder to myself and to tell myself that I only have to make some course corrections in my life. The sky was not, indeed, falling.
(Interestingly, my daughter Valerie told me that before she had seen the blue-green backdrop of the website design she had imagined what it would look like and it was the very same color Renee had chosen!)
Over time, I realized that this website which had been labored over with such care and love by both Renee and me represented my Higher Self, the self I aspire to and that I was being treated to the joy of seeing that Higher Self in living color and design on the world-wide web! I discovered that when I needed to strongly connect with that special guidance I could go to the computer to tune in.
Which brings me to the title of this message: The Website of Your Life. I am not assuming that everyone has the inclination nor the reason to produce a website for the Internet, but I do think that everyone could IMAGINE what the website of their life would look like… what colors it would have… what design… what message… what inspiration… and be able to use that vision to find the Divine Guidance we all need.
I want to close with this suggestion to you and, hopefully, it will ignite your emotions, your dreams and your aspirations which sometimes lay hidden… and bring them beautifully into the full vision of your imagination: What would the website of your life look like?

Magic…Protection Charms
There are countless little charms and amulets used to protect yourself and your property from harm. Some of the more effective are outlined below:
| Mistletoe | Mistletoe, also known as golden bough, carried in a little hand sewn cloth bag is a traditional Celtic method of protecting the self and is also used by the followers of the magic from America’s South. |
| Marjoram | Marjoram is believed to absorb dangerous negative energies when powdered and sprinkled about the home. In Italy the followers of Italian witchcraft or stregeria make this herb into a tea and add it to the wash and scrub ater to protect the home and its inhabitants. |
| Brown Sugar | Cuban and puerto Rican followers of the folk religion known as santeria regularly burn brown sugar, a pinch of sulphur and garlic powder on charcoal within their homes to cleanse them of any negative energy. When the home has been cleansed it is protected by praying to Sant Barbara, the saint of protection, by the light of a red and a white candle. |
| Sulphur Powder | A pinch of sulphur powder and cayenne pepper carried in a little brown paper pouch upon which a sword has been drawn, can be carried to ward off hostile words and deeds. |
| Plain Bluing | Plain bluing (used to whiten clothes in the wash) is said to ward off evil spirits in the magic of America’s South. The bluing is generally carried in a little blue paper pouch. |
| Blue Metal Stone | When a little sulphur and blue metal stone (the type often used in the process of making concrete) are added to bluing and carried in a blue cloth pouch, the charm is said to simultaneously ward off evil and attract lucky energies to the bearer. |
| Mirrors | Mirrors are said to frighten away dark spirits and tiny pieces of silvered glass are often sewn into Indian cotton dresses as are bells which are also used for this purpose. |
| Silver Bell | A tiny silver bell worn about the neck is a very potent protective charm as evil spirits cannot abide the sweet ring of any bell. |
| Garlic | Travelers are especially in need of protection when in a foreign land. A tiny mirror smeared with a clove of garlic and placed beneath the bed is said to protect the sleeper when away from his or her own home. The mirror may also be carried on one’s person for this same purpose. |
Stay Magical!

Conspiracy Theory…No. 6 – The Ultimate Conspiracy Theory: New World Order (NWO)
The phrase ‘New World Order’ or its acronym NWO can be found on numerous websites across the internet, its linkage to a number of elite power brokers (seen to be involved in various globalist agendas) inspires many bloggers, journalists and researchers alike to ponder the possibility that this large group of individuals, corporations, councils, houses and groups are in fact the creators and maintainers of a totalitarian one-world government. Its ultimate goal to rule the world through an authoritarian world government that will replace all sovereign nation-states. This influential cabal is said to operate through a number of organizations (fronts), the sum of which are known as the Order of the Illuminati.
It is speculated by many online that a number of historical and current events have and are paving the way to the Orders end-game – world domination and our oppression.
So, who makes up this Order of the Illuminati, and how do they rule our world?
It’s quite a web of families, organisations, groups, councils and governments just have a look at the picture at the top of this article if you don’t believe me. To make things a little easier, I have noted the parties down alphabetically below for your perusal (and added their associated relationships.)
1. Atlantic Council - The Atlantic Council is a think tank and public policy group whose mission is to “promote constructive U.S. leadership and engagement in international affairs based on the central role of the Atlantic community in meeting the international challenges of the 21st century”. It is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
Internet Gossip: The Atlantic Council has direct communication links to the Council on Foreign Relations, Royal Institute for International Affairs, the Bilderbergers and the United Nations.
2. Bohemian Club - The Bohemian Club is a private gentlemen’s club located at 624 Taylor Street, San Francisco, California. Founded in 1872 from a regular meeting of journalists, artists and musicians, it soon began to accept businessmen and entrepreneurs as permanent members, as well as offering temporary membership to university presidents and military commanders who were serving in the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, the club has a diverse membership of many local and global leaders, ranging from artists and musicians to businessmen.
Internet Gossip: The Bohemian Club has direct communication links to the United Nations and The Bilderbergers (Council of 500).
3. Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union - According to Party rules, the Central Committee directed all Party and government activities between each Party Congress. During Lenin’s leadership of the Communist Party, the Central Committee functioned as the highest party authority between congresses. However at the 8th Party Congress held in 1919, the Political Bureau (Politburo) was established to respond to questions needing immediate responses. Some delegates objected to the establishment of the Politburo, and in response, the Politburo became responsible to the Central Committee, and Central Committee members could participate in Politburo sessions with a consultative voice, but could not vote unless they were members.
Internet Gossip: The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union has direct communication links to the KGB, GRU, United Nations World Peace Council, and Communist Party (USA).
4. Club of Rome (CoR) - The Club of Rome is a global think tank that deals with a variety of international political issues. Founded in 1968 at Accademia dei Lincei in Rome, Italy, the CoR describes itself as “a group of world citizens, sharing a common concern for the future of humanity.” It consists of current and former Heads of State, UN bureaucrats, high-level politicians and government officials, diplomats, scientists, economists, and business leaders from around the globe. It raised considerable public attention in 1972 with its report The Limits to Growth. The club states that its mission is “to act as a global catalyst for change through the identification and analysis of the crucial problems facing humanity and the communication of such problems to the most important public and private decision makers as well as to the general public.” Since 1 July 2008, the organization has its headquarters in Winterthur, Switzerland.
Internet Gossip: The Club of Rome has direct communication links to the European Common Market and Fabian Socialist Society.
5. Communist Party USA (CPUSA) - The Communist Party USA is a Marxist-Leninist political party in the United States, established in 1919. For the first half of the 20th century, the CPUSA was the largest and most influential communist party in the United States. It played a prominent role in the U.S. labor movement from the 1920s through the 1940s, having a major hand in founding most of the country’s first industrial unions while also becoming known for opposing racism and fighting for integration in workplaces and communities during the height of the Jim Crow period of U.S. racial segregation. Historian Ellen Schrecker concludes that decades of recent scholarship offer “a more nuanced portrayal of the party as both a Stalinist sect tied to a vicious regime and the most dynamic organization within the American Left during the 1930s and ’40s”.
Internet Gossip: The CPUSA has direct communication links to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Socialist Party USA, National Student Association, and Students for a Democratic Society.
6. Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) - The Council on Foreign Relations is an American non-profit, nonpartisan membership organization, publisher, and think tank specializing in U.S. foreign policy and international affairs. Founded in 1921 and headquartered at 58 East 68th Street in New York City, with an additional office in Washington, D.C., the CFR is considered to be the nation’s “most influential foreign-policy think tank”. It publishes a bi-monthly journal, Foreign Affairs.
Internet Gossip: The Council on Foreign Relations has direct communication links to the CIA, Trilateral Commission, Federal Reserve and the Bohemian Club.
7. European Common Market (ECM) - The European Economic Community (EEC) was an international organization created by the Treaty of Rome of 1957. Its aim was to bring about economic integration, including a common market, among its six founding members: Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and West Germany. The EEC was also known as the Common Market in the English-speaking world and sometimes referred to as the European Community even before it was officially renamed as such in 1993. It gained a common set of institutions along with the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) as one of the European Communities under the 1965 Merger Treaty (Treaty of Brussels). Upon the entry into force of the Maastricht Treaty in 1993, the EEC was renamed the European Community (EC) to reflect that it covered a wider range of policy. This was also when the three European Communities, including the EC, were collectively made to constitute the first of the three pillars of the European Union (EU), which the treaty also founded. The EC existed in this form until it was abolished by the 2009 Treaty of Lisbon, which merged the EU’s former pillars and provided that the EU would “replace and succeed the European Community.”
Internet Gossip: The ECM has direct communication links to the Club of Rome, Tavistock Institute and Fabian Socialist Society.
8. Fabian Socialist Society - The Fabian Society is a British socialist movement, whose purpose is to advance the principles of Democratic socialism via gradualist and reformist, rather than revolutionary, means. It is best known for its initial ground-breaking work beginning late in the 19th century and continuing up to World War I. The society laid many of the foundations of the Labour Party and subsequently affected the policies of states emerging from the decolonisation of the British Empire, especially India. The emblem of the society is the proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing. Today, the society is a vanguard think tank of the New Labour movement. It is one of 15 socialist societies affiliated to the Labour Party.
Internet Gossip: The Fabian Socialist Society has direct communication links to The Group, Club of Rome, European Common Market, Royal Institute for International Democracy, New School for Social Research, and the British Labour Party.
9. Grand Druid Council of 13 - The Grand Druid Council is said to be a tool of the House of Rothschild, and the arm of the Illuminati that performs various satanic rituals (including sacrifice).
Internet Gossip: The Grand Druid Council of 13 has direct communication links to the House of Rothschild, the Bilderbergers and the Kahila.
10. Glavnoye Razvedyvatel’noye Upravleniye (GRU) - The GRU is Russia’s largest foreign intelligence agency. In 1997 it deployed six times as many agents in foreign countries as the SVR, the successor of the KGB’s foreign operations directorate. It also commanded 25,000 Spetsnaz troops in 1997.
Internet Gossip: The GRU has direct communication links to the MI5 and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
11. House of Rockefeller - The Rockefeller family is an American industrial, political and banking family that made one of the world’s largest fortunes in the oil business during the late 19th and early 20th centuries primarily through Standard Oil. The family is also known for its long association with and financial interest in the Chase Manhattan Bank, now part of JPMorgan Chase. They are generally seen as one of the most powerful families in the history of the United States.
Internet Gossip: The House of Rockefeller has direct communication links to The Order (Chapter 322 “Skull & Bones”), Council on Foreign Relations and Mafia.
12. House of Rothschild - The Rothschild family is a family originating in Frankfurt, Germany, that established a European banking dynasty starting in the late 18th century, that came even to surpass the most powerful families of the 1700s such as Baring and Berenberg. Five lines of the Austrian branch of the family have been elevated to Austrian nobility, being given five hereditary titles of Barons of the Habsburg Empire by Emperor Francis II in 1816. Another line, of the British branch of the family, was elevated to British nobility at the request of Queen Victoria, being given the two hereditary titles of Baronet (1847) and Baron (1885).
