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

I _could_ hire an international private investigations firm by
phone right now. (via a masked internet phone number that
couldn't be traced to me) They'd probably charge one of my
anonymous debit cards less than a thousand dollars to deliver
a fat file on you, Ren. Name, address, images, school records,
criminal records, medical records, military records (if any),
financial history, work history....

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.

More bullshit from the master of bullshit.

All he does is run his mouth on the internet. When the hell
does he find time to do all the things he claims he has done?

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.

They are a matter of public record. Posts you made to this group.
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 ...

While waiting for word on our adopted Christmas family I thought I
would offer a Christmas present here.

Crowley was far from being a great poet. He scratched out being an
adequate poet by taking the sublime and tossing it head first into the
abyss of perversity. I do appreciate the whole yin-yang metaphysics of
describing the female form as ugly and unnecessary, as he did, and the
male form as beautiful and essential ~ BUT REALLY!

Then this whole adept grade thing is not at all ancient by any
account. It is not focused correctly and it is not achieved by any
here as demonstrated by their rampant ego driven responses to me. Yes,
I confess, I do it on purpose. Like a curious child, I poke at slugs
with a twig ~ but it is a scientific mind that records their one
dimensional reflex reactions.
