John Dee and the Empire of Angels - Enochian Magick and the Occult Roots of the Modern World

I first came across John Dee while listening to Terrence McKenna podcasts, years ago in Hong Kong. At that time I learned he was the original 007 for Queen Elizabeth and an alchemist or more accurately a Sage.

I first purchased this book after listening to a podcast with the author over here, and it took me a long time to read, as it's crammed with esoteric knowledge that is vast, visual and layered. I'll never be able to retain and recall that kind of knowledge, but I know a man who can, so he's reading this book next.

The main point of this post is because the security services are the most concealed group for using all kinds of magick from Chaos to Enochian or Operative. While researching the subject on Wikispooks I discovered that the article on the occult and SIS was written by none other than former Home Secretary Michael Howard. 

If that whooshes over your head there's not much for you here, except to add that I don't think the full story of John Dee is currently that accurate, as he was careful who he told what. 

Also, if we look at another SIS asset who was into the occult, there's Aleister Crowley. Both he and John Dee died quite impoverished and so there's that when entertaining thoughts of exploring occult rituals and so forth.

It's The BBG (Big Bald Gammon), Not The BBC

Richie Allen is a terrific radio journalist. 

I don't always agree with him (who gives a fuck what the dumbed down media say, I research what I want to know), but last night after a few days of long hours, I finally got to bed about 3am and even at 4am I was cracked up in bed. 

When Richie wants to be funny, he can turn it on like a tap. It's just that usually he's quite serious and incisive.

Not this show though.

The sketch where two Chinese takeaways get talking to each other is off-the-charts funny, and there are few pleasures better than being too amused to sleep, irrespective of how tired we might be.

Sleaford Mods - Shortcummings

"Shortcummings"

You have the vision when you move a notch

You get permission to be what you want

I snog it now 'cause the sexy spot is prancing on my garden

Look, I'm elevated, I'm Captain Hook

Just round the back of the shop shut street

The rain in the wood is like a thinner sleet

It hits my nose and all I got is twigs and fat weeds and grass snakes please

When did I get so fucking down on my knees?

You have the mission when you walk a lot

Don't be a slider, get it how you want

I snog it now cos the sexy spot is dancing like

Baby, Dirty Dancing aka another crisis next to the magazine stand

Where's our picture on the front of this magazine, man?

It's such a shame that every job here is dead

It's such a shame that every person I meet needs smacking in the head

When did I get so fucking down on my knees?

He's gonna get all his dreams

He's got short, short, short, short, shortcummings

He's gonna mess himself so much

But it's all gonna come down hard

He's gonna get all his dreams

He's got short, short, short, short, shortcummings

He's gonna mess himself so much

But it's all gonna come down hard

One, two, three, four

You really don't know what they've probably got

They've got your arms if you resist the trot

I'll dance it now 'cause the rest is turned up in a microwave

Dark brown with the wavy wave

Just round the back of the bridge, no sleep

Lines of the road with the yellow lights brave the night to my mind, who lives in that house

And what do they think all the time?

He's gonna get all his dreams

He's got short, short, short, short, shortcummings

He's gonna mess himself so much

But it's all gonna come down hard

He's gonna get all his dreams

He's got short, short, short, short, shortcummings

He's gonna mess himself so much

But it's all gonna come down hard

(What do you get for killing me

A tighter grip, a bled of dying thousand) [x4]

He's gonna get all his dreams

He's got short, short, short, short, shortcummings

He's gonna mess himself so much

But it's all gonna come down hard

He's gonna get all his dreams

He's got short, short, short, short, shortcummings

He's gonna mess himself so much

But it's all gonna come down hard
