To: fiatlvx@sard.mv.net (FiatLVX XMagick Listserv) From: tyagi mordred nagasivaSubject: Psychoactives, Sexuality and Christian Magick Date: Kali Yuga 49941217 I have often thought that the Blood of Christ must be potently psychoactive. Look at the Holy Graal. It bequeaths Immortality. In _The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross_, by John M. Allegro the author claims that "the 'Jewish rabbi' we know as Jesus Christ was the personification of a fertility cult based on the use of the psychedelic mushroom amanita muscaria." (quote from the back of the book -- John Barkham). "The combined arts of medicine and astrology were known and practised by the Sumerians and their Mesopotamian successors.... "Their cultural, if not ethnic successors were the Magi, the 'wise men' of the Gospel birth story (Matt 2:1). They were the great drug-pedlars of the ancient world and are often cited by Pliny as sources of therapeutic folk-lore and the less familiar names of plants and drugs." "A... connection between sexual influence and sorcery appears in the derivation of our word 'magic'. Its immediate source is the Latin *magus*, representing the Old Persian *magush*, the title of a religious official whose power of mind and body earned him a repu- tation for sorcery. We have met the Magi earlier as one of the prime sources in the ancient writings for plant names and medicinal folk-lore. Their title may now be traced to a Sumerian phrase for 'big-penis', and seen to be cognate with the Greek *pharmakkos*, 'enchanter, wizard', from which comes our 'pharmacist'." "Rain, the semen of the god, was spurted forth from the divine penis as his thunderous orgasm in the heavens, and was borne as 'spittle' from the lips of the glans to earth on the storm wind. It was a unique concentration of this powerful spermatazoa in the juice of the 'Holy Plant' [Amanita fungus] that the Magi believed would give anyone anointed with it amazing power. They could 'obtain every wish, banish fevers, and cure all diseases without exception'. So the Christian, the 'smeared or anointed one', received 'knowledge of all things' by his 'anointing from the Holy One' (I John 2:20). Thereafter he had need of no other teacher and remained for evermore endowed with all knowledge (v. 27). Whatever the full ingredients of the Christian unction may have been, they would certainly have included the aromatic gums and spices of the traditional Israelite anointing oil: myrrh, aromatic cane, cinnamon, and cassia, all representing the powerful semen of the god. Under certain enclosed conditions, a mixture of these substances rubbed on the skin could produce the kind of intoxicating belief in self-omniscience referred to in the New Testament." "There is [a] reference to menstrual blood in the description Pliny gives of a fabulous dragon called the basilisk. It could apparently kill bushes with its breath, scorch grass, burst rocks, and put other serpents to rout. It was its blood, however, that was most in demand. According to the Magi, it brought a successful outcome to petitions made to gods and kings, cured diseases, and disarmed sorcery. This last claim was also made for mensus, if daubed like Passover blood (Exod 12:7) on the subject's doorposts." References to 'Magi' and 'magic'; pp. 33, 56, 65 and 82. nagasiva, tyagi@houseofkaos.abyss.com (NocTifer)
