Over & Out

I wanted to just let everyone know I will be gone for a little while.

I will be back.

It is a time for manifestation, the end of the midnight hour of the sun is upon me and I have fully crossed the spehere of the moon on this journey.

Onward to Mars.

Things are moving at an incredible rate.

It is time for my tsunami.

Watch.

 

PS: Take care of INFN. I love you all very much. You have been the only stable constant in one of the most tumultuous times of my life. When you stayed up with me when I needed someone to talk to, I remember. Words of encouragement and honest dissection, I remember. The examples you have all set for me in such interesting and various ways, I remember. The laughter and good times, I remember. I really do laugh out loud when I LOL, Those of you that I have talked to on skype or hung out with know this is tru fax.  This network has provided me with exactly what I needed in the form of various individuals and interactions that opened my mind and my heart, growing and shattering each one at the same time. Perspective mirrors.  In a time of darkness I was offered the perfect labyrinth through you guys. Everyone of you is important. I know you all can feel it too. It radiates outward and manifests through the same pulse. The Burning of the Dawn.

There is an hour, or an expanse of time thereabouts, right before dawn where you can see the silhiouettes of forms that make up our world against the grey morning sky.

The moment of structure that carries all that you’ve known into what you know at this moment, effecting what you will know to be. That silhouette of a tree, as the sun rises it will gain detail and dimension.

The form persists, all else builds from inside of it.

There is a secret to this moment. Step inside of it and outside of yourself. Feel the stillness before the colors break. This is the moment you can change the form. Once you know it the moment can be carried with you, and all things reduced to form. An infinite pool for an unquenchable fire. This is when you burn the dawn.

Let’s make it Beautiful.

MadQueen over and out.

MadQueen’s Abstraction of True Will

It feels as though a new facet to the work has been shown. A tendril of exploration unraveling, of its length or details I do not know. Sometimes things sound ridiculous when I observe my words in a momentary detached state. And to be honest I do sometimes assess my own sanity.

But I have found that this momentary lapse in certainty of the existence of the patterns I am seeing is part of the entire thing; the illusion, the insecurity of power, an unfaced question of worth. Shadows of thought that unless burned away creep around the mind and much like zalgo, eats it away from the inside. Breaking off not only connection but assumption or absorption.

This recognition of significant insignificance causes doubt and detachment from the inherent divinity possessed by existing. All things reverberate into infinity. All thoughts, actions, emotions, experiences, internalizations and projections are, if they become, eternal in their curve. Not only the initial force but all echoes, conflicts and merging affect the makeup of reality, perhaps from some view even create it. The facets of the fractal, a pixel of light.

And I, a vortex in the center of my own spiral, my own strings cast into the primordial pattern seek to reach a stasis of perfect vibration in accordance with the dance of my own divine flame.

This is my abstraction of true will.

Doors were never really closed; perhaps they simply could not be seen.
Hidden in the darkness, the very essence evoked by the word occult to those who love it.
The light is being reclaimed by realization.
There was never any door.
The wall has grown softer.
Let us enter.

MadQueen’s First Tarot Reading on Infinity Network

This is the first tarot reading I ever did on Infinity Network.  The reading was for the group overall and it’s impact.

I used a 10 Card Tree of Life Layout.

This reading was initially one of the primary motivators for me to stay involved, other than the people within the group that I have grown to love.

I think it represents Infinity Network nicely thus far.

June 10, 2010
10- group/ plan at present, external circumstances.

Hanged Man: he is upside-down in this life, material concerns are not his. His weight suspends from the rose in the center of the cross of elements, as his center of gravity is dependent on the guidance of the spirit rather than material needs. His head, the center of intelligence, is brought down to earth, where the light of spiritual guidance that envelopes it may shine in the darkness of his own ignorance. His clothes are rainbow colored to show that his higher self shines through the whole spectrum of his affairs. The patchwork pants show that he is aware that each part of life, and each individual, is just sections of the WHOLE. Gaining understanding that life is a just a reflection, a stage on which life is acted out as a cosmic play. Self sacrifice, especially in the sense of work done for others without reward or at the expense of lower desires.

 

9- lies behind the situation, not immediately obvious- hidden motivation or worries.

Virtue: independence

Vice:  idleness

9 of Discs: Prudence- A large figure 9 is reached by 9 discs, suggesting stepping stones, across the river. The darker stones in the front suggest relative ignorance, but get lighter as they move towards their destination, showing that knowledge is gained in stages.

 

8+7 are paired as the Mind Sphere

 

8-position of mental functions, communication and learning, what is affecting the mind most at the time

8 of swords: Conflict- 8 swords cross and pierce each other, drawing drops of blood. The
background is muffled. The lower circle is that of the lower mind, when it rejects opposition it can prevent itself from being the reflection of the higher circle, or higher mind.

 

7-seat of emotion or desire:

Queen of Cups: Contemplation- She is water of water, the creative essence of self. She is represented by the eagle, the winged creature symbolic of water. The full moon mirrors the sun and is above the sea in all its depth and beauty.

 

6- heart center: influence of higher self/ purpose on circumstance:

2 of discs: Unity- The figure 2, made of rose stems, bears a white rose for purity and divinity, and a red rose for earthly nature, representing the union of the pure desire of the spirit with the personal desire of self.

 

5- shows direction the revolutionary part of self operates, traditionally associated with fear, or bad habits that need to be dropped- unrealized destructive force, but also can highlight positive aspects of the base of operation:

The Fool: symbolic picture of divine spark, the ancient child soul of man. Shown before the fall of Manifestation, playing with the symbols of the elements as if they were toys. Symbolizes the EVOLUTIONARY journey through life. Can also show the folly of proceeding on a course
of action while ignoring likely pitfalls.

 

4- Center of Stability and How you rule your own kingdom, base of operation.

King of Swords: Intuition- He holds the sword as a lightning or energy conductor. He is alert, even tense, on a throne of feathers above clouds of illusion in windy, lightning filled sky. The king shows the highest level of mental functioning and “flash” of intuition.

 

2+3 are Paired as the Sex Spheres

Female is sphere of formation Male sphere is condition before formation

 

3- sphere of feminine principal, infuses everything we believe we are& how we experience the world. Basic formation of journey:

8 of Discs: The figure of Mercury has constructed the 8 out of metal with a hammer and chisel. Sparks fly from the blows of the hammer, holes in 8 are representation of the suit of discs. The chessboard background and Mercury’s physical labor suggests mental skill being applied to physical tasks and work.

 

2-Sphere of masculine principal, outward moving force- what is aimed for on other levels and spiritual/ magic aspirations:

4 of Wands: Completion: 4 wands form a square, within which the 4 is perfectly fit, indicating completion according to design.

 

 

1- The Alpha and Omega, beginning and ending- shows root cause and gives pattern to the reading.

Queen of Swords: Reason- Red hair to indicate vibrant activity, dressed in blue to symbolize intelligence. Symbol of alchemy on her throne to show that her reasoning encompasses all levels including qualities of the soul and compassion. Her power leads to truthful analysis and faith in the evolution of self and self mastery.

The Bells

by Edgar Allan Poe

 

[01:56] <@MadQueen> <.<
[01:56] <@MadQueen> >.>
[01:56] <@MadQueen>  HEAR the sledges with the bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                      Silver bells !
[01:56] <@MadQueen> What a world of merriment their melody foretells !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>           How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 In the icy air of night !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>           While the stars that oversprinkle
[01:56] <@MadQueen>           All the heavens, seem to twinkle
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 With a crystalline delight ;
[01:56] <@MadQueen>              Keeping time, time, time,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>              In a sort of Runic rhyme,
[01:56] <@MadQueen> To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
[01:56] <@MadQueen>       From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                      Bells, bells, bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>    From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
[01:56] <@MadQueen>   Hear the mellow wedding bells
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                      Golden bells!
[01:56] <@MadQueen> What a world of happiness their harmony foretells !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>           Through the balmy air of night
[01:56] <@MadQueen>           How they ring out their delight !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 From the molten-golden notes,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                      And all in tune,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 What a liquid ditty floats
[01:56] <@MadQueen>       To the turtle-dove that listens, while she gloats
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                      On the moon !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>              Oh, from out the sounding cells,
[01:56] <@MadQueen> What a gush of euphony voluminously wells !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                      How it swells !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                     How it dwells
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 On the Future ! how it tells
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 Of the rapture that impels
[01:56] <@MadQueen>              To the swinging and the ringing
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 Of the bells, bells, bells,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>      Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                      Bells, bells, bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>     To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>  Hear the loud alarum bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                           Brazen bells !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>  What tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>            In the startled ear of night
[01:56] <@MadQueen>            How they scream out their affright !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 Too much horrified to speak,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 They can only shriek, shriek,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                           Out of tune,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>  In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>  In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                    Leaping higher, higher, higher,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                    With a desperate desire,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 And a resolute endeavor
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 Now — now to sit or never,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>            By the side of the pale-faced moon.
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                    Oh, the bells, bells, bells !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                    What a tale their terror tells
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                           Of Despair !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>         How they clang, and clash, and roar !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>         What a horror they outpour
[01:56] <@MadQueen>  On the bosom of the palpitating air !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>            Yet the ear, it fully knows,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                  By the twanging,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                  And the clanging,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>              How the danger ebbs and flows ;
[01:56] <@MadQueen>         Yet, the ear distinctly tells,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>               In the jangling,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>               And the wrangling,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>         How the danger sinks and swells,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>  By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                    Of the bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>        Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>               Bells, bells, bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>     In the clamour and the clangour of the bells !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>     Hear the tolling of the bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                       Iron bells !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>  What a world of solemn thought their monody compels !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>         In the silence of the night,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>         How we shiver with affright
[01:56] <@MadQueen>      At the melancholy meaning of their tone !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>             For every sound that floats
[01:56] <@MadQueen>              From the rust within their throats
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                     Is a groan.
[01:56] <@MadQueen>             And the people — ah, the people –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>             They that dwell up in the steeple,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                   All alone,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>            And who, tolling, tolling, tolling,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 In that muffled monotone,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>             Feel a glory in so rolling
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 On the human heart a stone –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>       They are neither man nor woman –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>       They are neither brute nor human –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                    They are Ghouls: –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>             And their king it is who tolls ;
[01:56] <@MadQueen>             And he rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                      Rolls
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 A pæan from the bells !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>             And his merry bosom swells
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 With the pæan of the bells !
[01:56] <@MadQueen>             And he dances, and he yells ;
[01:56] <@MadQueen>        Keeping time, time, time,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>        In a sort of Runic rhyme,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 To the pæan of the bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                     Of the bells :
[01:56] <@MadQueen>        Keeping time, time, time,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>        In a sort of Runic rhyme,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                 To the throbbing of the bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>              Of the bells, bells, bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                  To the sobbing of the bells ;
[01:56] <@MadQueen>         Keeping time, time, time,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>             As he knells, knells, knells,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>         In a happy Runic rhyme,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                  To the rolling of the bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>              Of the bells, bells, bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                  To the tolling of the bells,
[01:56] <@MadQueen>        Of the bells, bells, bells, bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>                      Bells, bells, bells –
[01:56] <@MadQueen>     To the moaning and the groaning of the bells.

 

This poem is one of my absolute favorite examples of beautifully executed iambic pentameter.  It evokes emotions with not only with the descriptions but also with the overall sounds of the vowels, and words used to make those descriptions. They have been programmed in layers since birth from everyday life and interaction with society. The poet sees the layers and will utilize as many as possible concurrently.

These are the tools a poet needs to perform an anchor evocation.

  • The “feel” of words.
  • Their definitions.
  • The theatrical presentation and conveyance of the message.

These things all help to illicit responses responses in the reader predicted by probability and anchored by previously experienced emotions.  Using sound is a subtle way of affecting  the reader and  getting the subconscious reaction the author intends. When this is used in tune with the words chosen it’s a powerful evocative of a magical act; combining conscious and subconscious layers of effect and consensual culturally ingrained symbolism.

An example in The Bells by Edgar Allan Poe is the sprialing change of tone and feeling  from”light and merry” to ”dark and terrifying” at the end.  The use of wording such as “the tintinnabulation that so musically wells” is a stark contrast to “what a world of solemn thought their monody compels”.

This is direct conscious manipulation of basic minor emotional anchors.

To add to the power of of its delivery the indentations and offset of the above text was done purposely in an attempt to match the way Poe originally wrote it. There is debate among scholars as to what, if any, importance this may have. However most will agree that the undulations of words create a unique form and face to the poem.

Forms, shapes, patterns and outlines can all illicit an almost intuitive response by a programmed reaction. It seems the shape of the poem is to assist with the overall “falling” theme synthesized on multiple levels and layers within the piece.

 

Fare thee well wordslingers. And we are well met

History of The Infinity Network Ezine

The Infinity Network Ezine is an experiment in autonomous occult publication.

 

This publication has never been, and will never be, for profit.

 

Started in 2010 the ezine aims to showcase the current thoughts, techniques, philosophy and perspectives of today‘s occult practitioners of all paradigms. We do not censor or disregard valid submissions based on the practitioner‘s idiosyncratic point of view.

 

The zine went through various stages of development over time. From HTML only format to a highly distributed pdf publication, there have been meetings discussing content, structure and layout, to full out verbal warfare over planning details. We have, since the beginning promoted the writings of authors from all different walks, belief systems and groups.

 

Letter From The Editor

If we could  take religion and spirituality and say these things are the personalities of god perceived by the individual we would then be able to interpret all things in existence as equal in potential for effect. In life all things are essentially perceived through filters, therefore by the time the information is received and internalized we have already subconsciously defined it. It is in this way that we interact with, explore, shape and try to understand that which cannot be named. A process that effects our interpretation of reality before it ever becomes something we want to consciously effect.

It has been said that these experiential filters are primarily programmed by society, and I would tend to agree to an extent but I think ultimately it goes beyond that onto a much simpler platform.

Your own mental and emotional filters are built upon your own experiences. Each new experience is interpreted and built upon the ones before, a constantly evolving database of commands that allows you the function to see with the minds eye. This lends to the theme and contrast to your existence. Divide, multiply, add, subtract, understand.

Upon this background you bring and realize all new phenomenon into your consciousness, to be added to your matrix and further evolve the program of the existing self. This creates the silhouette of your uniqueness. Growth, change, creation are the only constants. When we are able to step back and observe the becoming, we can untie ourselves from the bondage of experience and yet reap its rewards of knowledge. This is quintessence of beauty; the free individual.

We are all different, on some level we all disagree.

On other levels we agree.

That means we agree.

The Infinity Network is open to all paths, paradigms and belief systems. We have members and affiliates from all walks of life and schools of thought. There is a global revitalization in art and culture of the true freedom behind the idea of “do what thou wilt”. This spirit that seems to be enrapturing the masses at a steady increase, the rate of transmission picking up speed. We are seeing more contrast and blending than ever before. This network is a bridge to a center point in which we can bring all things together and connect and collaborate across belief systems and across the world.

Our expressions and experiments are our evolving language. We speak all in different tongues yet the meanings translate. Allowing us, from our own platform of realization, to transcend the self and contribute to the eternal unshakable tower.

I have not seen anything quite like this publication before in my life.

This is the underground perspective of chaos magicians and hyper-meta philosophers, the voice of humanitarians and mystics, artists and rebels, poets and literalists: from the introverted to the explosive, this is their voice.

Contributions and distribution is completely grassroots and autonomous, each author and group promoting and uploading as they see fit. Because of this network effect it is impossible to determine the exact number of readers. However the statistics of downloads/reads on my personal uploads alone are well into the thousands.

Works have been translated into Spanish, German and Portuguese by individuals and distributed on foreign servers.

Infinite Current means it includes all of us. All of us means you too. This publication is a platform for our voice. Inclusive, connective and organic it has grown with us. Art as virtue. This zine is not about the infinity network, its about what the infinity network can do to promote the individual with the collaborative voice of the living occult.

Simple Tarot Reading Layout

 

Really simple layout for tarot readings. Excellent for both beginners and adepts.

This tarot reading layout is a modified version of the classic favorite three card tarot reading.

It is the one person adaptation of The Looking Glass Layout  , an original linked  tarot layout developed by Laureth and myself in 2010.

The past and present are both single card draws, the outcome however, is a two card draw.

In the sequence the third tarot card is the cause for outcome, or the catalyst that leads to the predicted answer. This serves as a guide to what state, being it internal or external, can change the current predicted outcome of the situation.

The future is not set, it is fluid and changeable. Having the cause of outcome is a useful tool as it can be a marker as to how to bring forth or change the predicted future.
