Daisy Jane Danger and I stumbled upon this little “Donna Karan: Bunny Butcher”-esque call to action while walking through Chelsea. It’s not every day you get to see the New Age movement being publicly called out on their pooh-pooh. And yet, I’m not sure it’s fair to call Donna Karan, […]
This is a video I found promoting public “witnessing,” otherwise known as “street preaching,” “open air preaching,” or everyone’s favorite…“subway preaching.” In this video you will see a woman I believe to be known simply as “Tiffany G.” extolling the limitless possibilities of saving souls in our decadent little village. […]
The Wild Hunt has got a nice pagan-inquisitive interview with NYC’s very own Alex Mar whose documentary American Mystic screened at the Tribeca Film Festival this passed April. From the synopsis: Set against a vivid backdrop of bucolic rural landscapes, American Mystic weaves together the stories of three young Americans […]
Even though NYC Vaishnavists (AKA Hare Krishnas, AKA Hare Krishnas no longer aligned with ISKCON, AKA Hare Krishnas who would like to be taken more seriously) are as diverse as the city is densely populated, one thread binds them all: love of food. Krishna devotees have been opening vegetarian restaurants […]
Always a beacon of solid (like a turd) reporting (like a pooh), our very own NY Daily News is trying to paint Arizona killer, Jared Lee Loughner, as an occultist offering the above picture, along with unsourced “expert” opinions, to back up their claim, stating that the “shrine” is both […]
I’ve picked up Mrs. Taylor’s fliers on a number of occasions, but always lost them before I got a chance to call her and schedule an appointment. Now, thanks to one Ms. Daisy Jane Danger, I’ve got a crisp new flier stuck in the files. Of course, when I do […]
Since it’s snowing, I thought I’d bust out some subway literature I picked up a while back. Revelations is an interesting (read: totally and wonderfully insane mystical rant), and has got to be one of the most detailed and vividly recalled ayahuasca journeys ever. We’re talking crazy lamps, giants, God, […]
One of our local neighborhoody blogs, The Ditmas Park Blog, re-posted a photo story by Brooklyn Photos which documents some beheaded chickens(?)/pigeons(?) in our lovely little Prospect Park. Of course, the immediate response was one of finger-pointing at the Latin American/West African Santeria community, because apparently white kids never do […]
Always an uplifting experience, today I went for a walk down Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. My main purpose was to walk with a slight abandon while hoping to stumble upon either the Ausar Auset Society founded by my secret intellectual-man-crush, Ra Un Nefer, author of the very awesome Metu Neter […]
I picked this up, along with a pamphlet on “The Uses of Pain,” while mulling around the lobby of the New York New Church waiting to pay my $20 for a group seance. For those who don’t know, George Bush (b. 1796), biblical scholar come mystic, was a bit of […]
I’m kind of curious as to what the angle will be on this. Is this flier suggesting that the Bible’s “rude and crude human mask” is dubious? Or is it suggesting that the sexier parts of the Bible have a deeper more “spiritual” message? Hard to say when you’re dealing […]
I’ve been having trouble finding Joachim (subway singer/chanter/informer of The Good News) lately. I used to see him playing around the Times Square subway stop whenever I had the unfortunate displeasure of going around those parts (or going specifically to pick up the latest Chick Tract comic of hate). I […]
