The Black Goat, Harriorus Pottiorus And The History Of Magick

I am a bit surprised that no one has actually done a proper magick book of Potter spells - for adults not children and not as a jokey idea but as something serious. there are some joke Harry Potter spell books for kids about but they are strictly just for a laugh.

After all Cuthulu was an invention of  H P Lovecraft as was the Necronomicon and people have widely used this as well as worked with Cuthulu - so the cult has indeed become a reality.

I wonder why then, no one has done this with the Potter stuff? I don't mean kiddy jokey stuff - I mean totally for real.
After all some of the big museums have tried to muscle in on the Potter success story, showing their serious wares alongside fantasy items and Rowling's crossed out story scripts that keep appearing in books to add a touch of humanness and safety to the witchy wares of old.

How about 'The Super Dark Black Magick Devilish Grimoire of Grand Worshipful Magister -  Harriorus Pottiorus' or something to that effect.

Large Brown Rat Spotted The Other Day By Basement Window

A large brown rat was sighted the other day making its way down the area of the basement window shown. We looked down and saw that it was someone's living room and they had a large TV at the far side,which was on, so we hastily retreated. They presumably did not know about the rat at the window.

Cornish Witchcraft, Cunning Folk, Bucca And The Old Ones

These three books shown in the picture are by an author called Gemma Gary who practices a kind of Cornish Witchcraft. The books tend to cover the traditional witch ways of the area. Cunning Folk and Pellars were a bit like African Witchdoctors and Shamans and indeed, a good number of people today still practice this particular verson of 'The Craft'. This includes working with a lot of items called 'stangs' which are basically two prongs with a light in-between - sometimes an upturned horseshoe is used or an adapted pitchfork. The light is essentially the light between the horns of the goat - a bit like the Baphomet, who represents the balance of light and dark. The Bucca, a Cornish horned spirit is both black and white and can appear as a goat although there is a Cornish sea serpent which is also known as a bucca, so that is slightly confusing. The Old Ones also are alluded to and all in all these books are interesting reads, though some may find them a little dark in places but they are certainly entertaining and I would say also of good vibrations generally.

Some of the ideas do give rise to the thought of black robed  persons on misty hillsides on in deep forests,but then Cornwall is thought to be a mysterious place of sea, old quoits (large holey stone ancient monuments), mines, caves moorland and mermaids, anyway - so all fits in well.

This video clip was taken inside one of our ponds a few days ago. It shows a mosquito larva forcing its way out of the egg. the creature is incredibly determined to escape and looks quite vicious!

Tiny Spider In Hydrangea Bush

There was a tiny spider on a web on this plant. We actually used a red light torch on the plant as it is better for not disturbing wildlife than ordinary torches.
