Battle for the Soul of America

The Slaves Shall Serve: Meditations on Liberty by James Wasserman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a real eye opener. Written with a definite right wing view , this ceremonial magician writes about American style liberty and the forces that are imperiling it. One of the most imminent threats to our liberty is statism. The author decries the mentality that the state should make our decisions for us and become like a nanny for us. This is the objective of Hilary and the other democrats. Part of their plan is to totally disarm Americans by banning guns.

The second amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms. After all a well armed militia is the best defense for liberty. After all you government cannot oppress you so easily if you are armed. Mr. Wasserman present plenty of arguments to battle the gun control people. Not only would it reduce crime but it would also build responsibility in youth that knew how to use firearms. The author states examples of how guns have stopped crime. I think he might believe that statistics presented by the gun control lobby are skewed.

Two cases really show case American govt. behavior in this regard. Waco and Randy Weaver. Randy Weaver had his home assaulted by government troops for some minor gun violation. The law enforcement agencies involved acted like the Gestapo. His son and wife were killed. Later the courts awarded Randy Weaver 3.1` million dollars.

The Branch Davidians of Waco were not violent psychopaths the media made them out to be . Their only crime was not paying a tax on modified guns. They were not child abuser and they certainly were no threat to the state. Our governments response was way out of proportion.

The left it seems wants to do away with private ownership and make everyone dependent on the state. They will make our decisions for us. Mr. Wasserman believe that the left is preparing to betray America’s sovereignty and sell us out to the UN so we could be part of a one world government .

The next threat to our liberties is the Islamic problem from the east. Despite the author’s leaning he does recognize that the fanatical Muslims who rush into the arms of Al Quaeda, and ISIS do not represent the viewpoint of most Muslims. Yet the Muslims that are come here are building mosques that preach a violent hatred and Jihad. These mosques are funded by America’s allies , the Saudi Arabians. The author liked most people of his persuasion believes that there is a sizeable minority of Muslims that see immigrating as way of conquering the world for Islam. It must be recognized that Islamic world and Christian world have been at war with each other for the longest.

At the end of the book in the appendices there is the fulll text of our constitution preamble and what not. Side by side with it is the UN charter. Interesting that the UN charter was drafted by Alger Hiss. Mr. Hiss was brought up on charges of espionage.

While I may not agree with everything the book says I will say this. I am not afraid of the state taking my rights, rather I am afraid of the filthy rich using their money to buy the government and control us that way. Take assault weapons off the market and leave hand guns and hunting rifle available only. The UN is a paper tiger that has failed in it’s mandate to secure world peace and halt oppression. As for Al Quaida well we need to do something different .

Our Most Holy Death

Santa Muerte: The History, Rituals, and Magic of Our Lady of the Holy Death by Tracey Rollin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am falling in love with this lady quite literally. I am talking about Santa Muerta of course and the authoress has written another among many about the subject. This book garners high praise. Written by a former Catholic who found the praying to saints was more effective than praying to god. She is also a chaos magician.

Santa Muerta is perfect for the chaos magician. The fastest growing religious movement is still relatively unstructured and no official framework has been set up. You can relate to her as feels write.

The book discusses the many possible historical origins of our sacred lady. Covering the mythology of the Aztec and their history. We see that blood nourishes the ground leaving way for more being and food to grow. She is the crone that taketh life and the mother that gives life. Life and death are sides of the same coin. There are also European connections as well. La Parque the parched one as she is called was the Grim Reapress from Europe. She too may have her origins in the Greek fates, the most powerful one being she who cuts the thread. Not even gods could overcome death and change their fate. Her name was some like parque. There are also possible African origins to her as well. Remember Death was created in the Bible before anything else. Death even overpowers Jesus.

The book is chock full of prayers and knowledge about the seven colors and their uses are. I found the instructions on how to use a rosary a bit confusing due to their complexity but you can make use of them in other ways. The book tells about herbs and offering to our most holy death. I found the section on charging tools to be useful and easy to follow. Something I will definitely use. The novena which are nine day prayer working I found useful and will use. Novenas are usually nine day working done with 7 day candles. Now this book recognizes that 7 is very holy to Santa muerte.

If you plan on working with Santa Muerte then this is one book you will definitely want to get.

Mage of the Kaballah

The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin, The Mage — As Delivered By Abraham The Jew Unto His Son Lamech — As A Grimoire of The 15th Century by Abraham von Worms
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Abrmelin the Mage

They said read the classics if you want to learn real magic. So I read one of the classics and believe me I am no further along the magic path then I was before. I found the language dry boring and overly scholarly like written in a form of English that the modern reader would find it hard to comprehend. The instructions are somewhat confusing as to how to perform the magical actions. For someone like me reading a Wicca 101 book would be more beneficial.

The book itself is composed of three books. The first book tells of how Abraham the Jew travel from Europe to the Middle East in order to find the right maniacal technique to contact and have conversation with your Holy Guardian angel. The total work takes about three months before you are purified. The author must have had a crystal ball because he tells the reader to make sure he can perform his undertaking. Most people do not have the time to isolate three selves from the world for six months and most cannot build an oratory or an alter to the specification on their property.

The next two books tell how to interact with demons and angels. The magical actions rely on the order of angels and demons and working with magical squares. Many of these instruction were either vague on what to do and rather wordy.

This book is great to read for historical reference. Magic of this type is too complicated for modern people to carry out, unless they belong to a lodge or have a tutor. A couple things I liked about the book is that it extolled the virtues of righteous living and not exploiting magic for evil ends. Abraham we also said that he met many magical performers who were practicing baseless superstition on or being enslaved by evil spiritual. Forces while thinking they were on top of it all. Some of the arguments sill hold true today.
