In Greek mythology Erebus or Erebos (Ancient Greek: Ἔρεβος, English
translation: "deep blackness/darkness or shadow") was the son of a
primordial god, Chaos, and represented the personification of darkness
and shadow, which filled in all the corners and crannies of the world.
He was the offspring of Chaos alone. He was brother of Nyx (Nox) and
father with her of Aether and Hemera, according to Hesiod (c. 700
BC).

The word is probably from Proto-Indo-European language, *h1regwos,
cognate to Old Norse røkkr, Gothic riqis "darkness", Sanskrit rajani
"night", Tocharian orkäm "darkness". Another suggestion is a loan from
Semitic, c.f. Hebrew erebh and Akkadian erebu "sunset,
evening" (hence, "darkness"). The same etymology of "sunset" has been
suggested for Europe.

I have been attempting research on Erebus / Erebos, but there is a
dearth of material I have been able to locate. Can anyone point me in
the direction of some good sources? I am looking for mythology and any
details of his worship.

No. I've made one or two articles that a paranoid like you could have

I _could_ hire an international private investigations firm by

criminal records, medical records, military records (if any),

Now, for those who are interested in real magick, we
will leave the useless theatrical woo-woo of commercial
Wicca behind for a bit.

The Two Phases of Spellwork

Everyone knows about casting spells, but that's only one phase of
spellwork.

The other phase, and probably the more important one, is reading
spells.

When you cast a spell successfully, it does not simply vanish,
it is moved to the background of your conscious mind where it
is maintained. It becomes a part of your belief system. Spells
are beliefs, creative constructs consisting of a central concept
surrounded by emotions and imaginings.

In order to properly and effectively cast a spell, you have to
know your own belief system. You have to know the spells you are
already maintaining.

YOU are the one who is always threatening to hurt people.

The only spirits you work with come in a bottle or a can.

What investigation?

I don't care what your name is or where you live.

Why would I? You are nothing but another dishonest and cowardly
windbag with a computer.

I've already seen plenty of those.

All he does is run his mouth on the internet. When the hell

Answer: He doesn't need to find time for fictional events.

I see. Then anyone can be a Wiccan priest by just saying they are.

Good grief! Is this clown for real?

There's no point in asking Ren to verify any of the above.
He can't.

The rest of this article consisted of something from the
kook group, where they accuse me of being some bogey-man
from the usenet's past.

I have no time for anything those malicious and cowardly
retards have to say about anyone. My newsfilter kills
anything with any reference to that group in the subject
or newsgroups headers. And posts from most of the aliases
used by the very few vermin who are actually responsible
for their garbage.

A lot of them.

But you can believe anything you want. You can even believe you
are a magician.

In neither case will your belief reflect reality, but that never
seems to bother you anyway.

Now here is the topic that we all dread-- immortality. The relationship
between the abstractness of immortality, and the horrors committed in
its name, turns away many people. Yet this concept still persists, and
should be dealt with. Ultimately, we say that it is only our opinion
one way or another. But I shall ask, how come the concept is so
pervasive in the human experience throughout these millennia of social
culture, fading into the mists of pre-historic time? How come, instead
of just dead, gone, done? How come? What sort of spark leads to this
idea? To say memory, just leads some into an explosion of laughter.
But, let them laugh, because they are included in the concept also, to
their chagrin. (That of course is to the delight of some of those who
do accept this concept.) Truth is that we can use the concept without
God entering into the picture. This to the chagrin of many who do
accept God, including some Christians. However, don't let the
prejudice of religious fanatics, or the opposition of fanatics of any
type, steer you away from the contemplation of your own possible
immortality. It may be that in future times "immortality," could become
the standard of science as well. I put the word in quotes because it
most probably "just" indicates an extremely long time, rather than
forever. (an understatement) Let's look at the human body. It is a ...
