As of September, ebay is banning the sale of hexes, curses, magic potions and the like ... so, start bidding if you need to get a spell cast or you need to get a hex put on somebody in the near future.

I think this is good ... in that it places the responsibility of the creation of these things on the maker, who obviously, has been found to be a charlatan more than once! And some of those stores ... it was down right offensive and an insult to your intelligence! Not to mention that some of those people went on to seriously rob and rip off folks when they "sold" their invisible business!
 
It's a great thing, because it will show 95% of all those New Age rip off artists as the frauds they really are ... and this will have to include ... sadly ... many so-called "musicians" that also ripped off many folks with music that supposedly was this and that ... like a girls choir makes it all "angels" ... and other absolutely insane and off the wall images of what it all was supposed to be.
 
I was banished from a "new age" bs group here in PDX in the late 80's because I said that Ash Ra Tempel, Eno, Cluster, Vangelis and many others had already done this 20 years earlier but they were not accepted because they did not kiss the proverbial a$h of the commercial side of things ... to create more poop for the masses and steal more money!
 
I knew then, that I was not interested in cardboard versions of superficial spirituality ... what Amon Duul 2 eventually called ... "divine slime".

Actually to be fair I think that's a bit harsh about the Holy water.

I have some and I can honestly state that since I've had it I've not come across a single ghoul or demon.

Also I took a homeopathic remedy for wax build up in my ears and to be sure my mixes are sounding 20-40% better already.

It's easy to scoff but you can see from these actual real-life scenarios that these things DO really work.

But what about little girls who can climb on the ceiling, spin their head aroun 360 degrees and projectile vomit everywhere?   Has the water spared you from that as well?   Hmm???

Very cool song. Sounds kinda early Stevie Nicks. Very nice harmonies and the acoustic sounds sublime.


Wish I knew what the word sublime meant.

But they still allow the sale of holy water and homeopathic remedies?


ebay has given me the opportunity to  buy Holy water in bulk so can fill water balloons with it.

It's the harder gunk you find under slime.

This is all George Bush's fault.
