I'm consdering putting together some ritual tools around Halloween. Things that could be construed as "costume pieces". Not quite in colors keeping with the season, really (considering that I'm trying to put together a replica of Theodore "Starman" Knight's cosmic rod from the "Starman" comics and some sort of Green Lantern ring), but this DOES seem the season to put together props.

Actually, funnily enough, I have a LARP (Live Action Role-Play) on Halloween night where I play a stuck up, over confident computer/reality/memetic hacker. The guy running it is calling players in the city to come play ghosts and men in black, so its gonna be funky.

On the downside, it means I won't be able to go to the "haunted" street corner late in the night. I think I've figured out where the spirits are hanging about there, and would like to do a more in-depth look. Chalk and candles, maybe. I've considered invoking Hermes in his aspect as psychopomp. Maybe burn the Danse Macabre, The Monster Mash, and the opening song from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" onto my discman and play that during it. Mind that I'd probably get some terribly strange looks from people passing by (oh how I wish for the quiet and solitude of cemetaries)...

Halloween's approach -
lanky-limbed on withering
elbows - evil noise -

Halloween artists -
labor long on witchery
every eldritch night -

Halloween action -
lunatic laughter - or wind? -

This just in! I went home to eat (in between madcap work sessions) and held a brief but intense ritual: meditated and chanted to "Silent Scream," incorporating my own mantra (QRTI LSHE PRUM CODAWN) - then lit the ongoing candles I have dedicated to the PK, his female counterpart (Mab), and their fusion in Autumn and Halloween. I then cooked a meal and ate it, offered a tad to the cat (who was particularly wound up and aggressive about it), and dedicated three nickels to Hermes. I then closed the ritual and headed out to a nearby crossroads to place the coins.
The way there was an instant charge - streetlamps low or flickering, billowing trees with flaming leaves lit by houselights, empty cars with flashing red parking lights. Figures moving in the shadows. One walked by with a pet, which growled and barked. She kept saying "Bela! Bela! No!" to it (MUHUHAHAHAHAHAAA!!) Closer to the crossroads I noticed the local cemetery's gate - normally shut after dark, was wide open, facing outwards. Then to the crossroads, dropped the coins, and headed into the night...

(or the computer, rather)

On the subject, the other night a group of friends and I went to said cemetery to hang out and (for several) to smoke up. We gathered around a local family plot, reputed to be haunted. All graves in the plot are somewhat damaged. The main grave is a long sarcophagus with ornate celtic designs and a massive celtic cross overlooking it. On this grave were many tokens left by previous visitors - a pearl necklace, coins, some other small objects. We asked admittance, left offerings, and sat around there talking until it was time to leave. As we were leaving a friend and I got in a massive wrestling match right outside the plot, which was a lot of fun. Then we bowed, left, and bowed again upon leaving the cemetery.
The other night I biked by to "make sure everything was cool," as it were, and got a sinister response - streetlights going out right above me, gusts of wind through the air, and a general vibe of creepiness. Mind you, this is nothing new to the Autumn season, so I'm on the fence as to the interpretation of such things. But in any case it was a powerful presence.

Back to work!

Rain falls, a sign of the winter to come
Night calls, too dark and too dreary for some

I run, hearing a story that's scary
No fun, looking around being wary

No rhyme? Nobody has something to say?
There's time! The twentieth is still today!

Well, for another 6 minutes here at least

[thank you, madfigs - I just...couldn't...do it.]

Well, despite my rather lackluster magickal performance so far this season, I'm staying in it as best I can on other fronts - the Halloween Countdown Calendar (also a warm-up for the Halloween Magick website), and general immersion in a world of deathrock and old horror movies. I will be starting on my costume this weekend, and hopefully making it to a haunted house or two and maybe a corn-maze (corn-maize?).

Good Haunting!

p.s. madfigs, as soon as I read the line about rain being a sign of winter, I knew you had to be from CA...

Lep: what is your costume? And, for that matter, what are we all doing costume-wise?

Depending on the amount of cash and/or good luck I have, I am planning a Hermes possession-outfit synthesizing traditional aspects of the god and the Hermetic practice along with personal, contemporary ideas of Hermes (re: the techno-trance music and imagery I usually have interacted with him through). If that doesn't pan out, though, I'm going to go as the more random Trickster figure I embodied last year - tux coat, white shirt, black tie, vest, some appropriately colored loose pants (rolled up like breeches), striped tights, lil black shoes, multiple necklaces (skulls, candy corn, etc) and my face painted in a cartoonish skull.

"Anyone?...anyone?..." (And it's hysterical to hear you, Lep, describe your lackluster magical performance this season...I've been in stasis compared to you!)

I'm thinking of going as the Invisible Man, so I can stay home and watch scary movies in my boxers, then just tell everyone Monday morning that I was actually there the whole time.

Well, no. It will be the Invisible Man, this year, but in his bandage-wrapped and gloved stage. Whether I do the hat and coat, the dressing gown, or another more idiosyncratic outfit remains to be seen.

[We should totally start a Show Us Your Halloween Costume (PICS) thread in the Conversation after the Big Day.]

And Seamus: it's hysterical to hear you describe your magickal stasis, 'cos...'cos... I don't know, it's just really funny. :P (Honestly, I have been flexing the magic, but just not Halloweening with it.)

Stay Scary! And Don't Get Caught!

While the nightingales are in tune,
And the quaint little snakes in the grass
Lift their silver heads to the moon,

(*sigh of relief*)

Huzzah for madfigs! I actually lay awake in bed last night worrying that there was no poem for the 20th. I do believe I have become superstitious about this.

I had actually been wondering if anyone would be interested in posting costume photos, here in this thread, before the event, as part of our preparatory discussion... that might be impractical for some, though.

I'm getting very frustrated with my apparent inability to find enough free time to accomplish anything this season...

I've been thinking of going as Rebis (the Negative Man/Woman). I've also been considering spraying may hair and going as Ted Knight (from Starman) if I get the time after the game. Unfortunatly most of my favourite characters aren't easily costumed without signifigant work.

As is, I'm planning on wearing a black t-shirt with a jack'o'lantern on it, my leather jacket, a shoulder bag for my laptop, and my Palm Pilot. I might also throw on my headset for my cell phone as well, since 7r4d3m4rk (my character) is supposed to be damnably high-tech like.

There's a Halloween party on the 29th. Might dress up for that. If I can find a good long trenchcoat and something white to use as bandages I can then do Rebis. It'd be easy, really. Well...comparitivly.

I'm going for an easy costume this year, Kevin from the Mage comics. I don't have the figure for it, but I have the hair, the beard, and the t-shirt so 3 out of 4 will have to do.

Hopefully we're going to West Hollywood for Halloween this year, it is always a huge event and you can see all kinds of crazy costumes. I haven't been in 4 years, so it should be fun!

Man, I can't believe there's only 10 days to go! Here's a cinquain for the occasion:

My Cat
is black, and cute
but won't ride on a broom
"October twenty-first? Who cares?
I'm cold!"

Disclaimer: my cat can't really talk, but I think that's what he would say.

Stasis, I said,
as if I were dead,
or frozen in some awkward stance.
But no! Hold on!
I'm not that far gone
Just slow, and give me a chance.
Though busy I am
and time's in a jam,
the Current will not let me be
There's magic to be reckoned
with, the Current is fecund
and happy October 22nd!

Stay Haunted!

(*giggles*)

The really amusing thing about Halloween costume photos is that it won't do much in the way of letting us find out what anyone actually looks like. I'm entertained by that. Call me perverse.

I believe I have now got everything I need for my Ragged Robin costume. Now if I can just figure out how to work my new digital camera...

Lep, I echo the sentiment about this weekend. I have several things in mind that need to be done, or at any rate finished... or started... and this is really the last chance to do it all.

Everyone gear up and move! Report back on your progress! Hup hup hup!



SANTA: Haven't you ever heard of peace on earth, and goodwill toward men?
LOCK, SHOCK, and BARREL: No!!!

(Odd, that; I had always thought their names were Mock, Shock, and Barrow, and I thought it was quite clever... but apparently not. Don't these people understand puns at all?)

Well, as far as a costume, I'm going to do the whole masquerade noble thing(face mask, puffy shirt, doublet, etc). I mean, I was planning on not doing anything at all as I work the day before and the day of All Hallow's, but someone asked me if they could switch with me and give me the Saturday in exchange for the Thursday.

So, it seems I'm going to a costume ball the Friday of Halloween and sleeping it off the next day.

Wierd.

There's a cheap costume! I could buy cheap tweed, get a wig, and go as Mister Six, lol.

Still trying to figure out where I can get, and many rolls I'll need, bandages. Probably go with tenser bandages, get a couple 10 foot rolls of them at a medical store, that should do it. Wrap the face, throw on a green dress shirt and my green trench coat. I lack knee high boots and green pants, though. I have standard steel toe work boots, though, which I suppose will do. It's wrapping my hands that's going to be the bitch of it.

Now...if only my Mage character had Mind 3, then I could go to game, claim I'm the Invisible Man, and use it as a memetic focus to prove to the bad guys that I'm not there! But meh, as it is I'm still trying to find a pumpkin shirt.

Must ensure I get a halloween picture taken.

But the sunglasses, man! You have to have the ridiculously large sunglasses to be Rebis! I doubt you can find a pair like that, but you can probably make them or something. Anyway, that is a good idea, even if only a couple people recognize who you're supposed to be they will think it's really cool I'm sure

Good evening.

The weekend has gotten off to a good start - tonight I got to go out and play for a while.

I paid a nocturnal visit to the nearby pumpkin patch to see what I could find (the harvest is over, but there are many smallish pumpkins left behind). This gave me an opportunity to try out a couple tricks - I dressed my head with my own Law Keep Away oil (just in case) and took a pinch of agar agar in my left palm (which is supposed to help one pass unnoticed, so long as one doesn't draw attention to oneself). I have no real basis to judge the success of the LKA oil, since the likelihood of getting arrested was pretty low to begin with; the agar agar, however, bears further experimentation - I was walking along the shoulder of a well-travelled road that connects a college town with some of the rural kegger spots on a Friday night, which normally means I can count on honking and hollaring every couple of minutes from passing cars - and nothing. No horns, no speculation as to my sexual preference - I didn't see so much as a head turn my way. (By contrast, when I went out again later without the agar, two people stopped to offer me a ride within the space of ten minutes.)

So anyway, on with the spooky: I collected my little pumpkins from the moon-drenched, mist-shrouded field and took them home. I carved out the larger of the two (about grapefruit sized), jack-o-lanterned it, and dedicated it not so much to Jack (though I burned some incense for him) as for the Halloween Current itself.

Then (and this is the fun part), I took my little Jack out to the bridge. I used a bit of broken concrete to scratch my Halloween sigil into one of the large supports, laid out a circle of last year's consecrated candy corn around the sigil, and lit up my pumpkin with his wicked little face leering into traffic. Several cars passed while I was doing this (I was perched crosslegged on top of the support, surrounded by my ritual supplies - it must've been an odd little sight, which I suppose is part of the point).

I offered further dedication to the Halloween Current - the Orange and the Black - and established the ritual site as a node or concentration point for the current to work through. I hope it captures the attention (and dreams) of all who pass it tonight...

It felt good to be back out in the chill night air.

Stay spooky, everybody! And Don't Get Caught!

Anyway, that is a good idea, even if only a couple people recognize who you're supposed to be they will think it's really cool I'm sure

Actually, I HAVE ridiculously large sunglasses. They're prescription, to. So yeah, it ought to work. They're not quite the Rebis style, but they'll do.

I checked out tenser bandages today, I need three more. One for around my shoulders/upper chest so I can leave my shirt partially open, one for my upper head (I already have one for my neck/lower face) and one more for my head to make sure that everything's covered. I may have to start inserting some bits of foam, though, to keep the bandages from crushing my neck and nose. I've also then gotta find something to put on my hands. The tensers are too thick and bulky, so I'm wondering if I can find some thin rolls of gauze. The colors won't match, but I can live with that. I've also been considering getting some glow-in-the-dark spraypaint and giving the gauze a spray, but I somehow think that that's not condusive to good health, unless I can find something that's non-toxic (glow in the dark, yeah right, I might as well just coat myself in plutonium dust).

I'm considering wearing the costume to the Mage LARP, since my character IS a geek. If anyone asks I'll claim I'm the Invisible Man...which then allows me to pop one of my low level spells for the "you don't want to look at me" effect (not as good as the "I delete myself from your perceptions" or "I bend light around me", but when the bullets start to fly you take what you can get). As long as I can type with gauzy fingers, I should be good.

Of course, I REALLY need to get a couple pictures of me. I need a digital camera.

Tonight's hauntings are mist-covered and abandoned buildings off the train tracks that grew this city out of a need for them. This week has been graveyards the ones full of soldiers are the emptier ones around here; no ghosts, only groundskeepers following my camera and I since black-clad freaks in graveyards must be up to no good. More mask-leaves found there, the most gorgeous ones yet. Centerpieces, I'll make them. Ooh, and a patchwork black skirt finished for a tattered faerie costume it may be too cold for here on Halloween, but it'll be worn out wandering some day, oh yes. Maybe for Halloween and I'll just freeze.


Counting down, just one week more
'til the year, like each before,

It's October twenty-four.

How was the weekend for everybody?

Didn't get down to much hocus-pocus yesterday, but we did spend a chill and overcast afternoon choosing pumpkins, and running through a hay-maze and a corn-maze and a black-light maze with the baby. And a hayride. The baby fed goats by hand, which he loved, and took great delight in hiding behind bales of hay with his grampa and "jumping" out and scaring us. He also walked the most he ever has before - that makes his two longest walks the cemetary and the pumpkin patch... Hmmm.

Have fun! Don't get caught!

My weekend was mostly unproductive, since I have been ill and finally went to the doctor on Friday afternoon. Now I am feeling better physically, but completely out of it magically. What gives? Is it the antibiotics? Whatever it is, it's got to stop, since the eclipse/full moon, Halloween, dia de los muertos, and election day are all coming up.

Well, at least it happened this weekend instead of next. Ugh. Hoping for a better tomorrow (oh, now I sound like a campaign ad).

Loved the photo, Lepidopteran.

I got called in to work for a three hour shift, and then on Sunday I got roast beef. Not very Halloween-ish, I suppose.

Got my costume more or less together, but I'm missing a white glove I had, so Rebis is going to have to be wearing a black "containment" glove. I also couldn't get olive-coloured dress pants, and am now broke, so I'll be going in jeans (my t-shirt and trench coat are of the appropriate color, though). Got all the bandages, though, and did a few practice runs. Everything works pretty well, with my face being totally covered. In this vein I also had a short conversation with someone today about the Doom Patrol (I'm saddened that I have to sum up Negative Man/Negative Woman/Rebis as "an obscure superhero from the 80s") and Dada. I think I also convinced her to dress as Wonder Woman...dear god what have I done?

I rode my bike by a huge cemetary today (which had signs out announcing that there were plenty of plots open), I was going to ride back through there but it was dark, I was tired, and there were no lights inside. But mostly I was tired.

I'm intending to walk around the city on Sunday in full costume. Ride the subway as well. I want to see how people react.

"Who're you supposed to be?"
"I'm a superhero."
"Superman's a superhero. You're just a guy in bandages."
"Superman's a putz. I beat up the Quiz, the Woman with Every Power You Never Thought Of. Lets see Superman do that."
"What the hell kind of power is that?"
"Exactly."

Oh, we're giggling and shrieking,
At the havoc we'll be wreaking
And we're glad to know the wait will soon be over;

The full moon is arising,
The vibration's galvanizing
On this night, the 26th one in October.


On my way to the bank at lunchtime I was musing about how warm and sticky it is outside. The fall "vibe" is still very much present, but the weather is just plain wrong. I noticed a fellow with a bright yellow bike sitting on a bus stop bench who is staring hard at me with an odd half-smile on his face. As I pass by, he says, in a conciliatory tone, "Oh, it'll cool off soon."

I guess I was thinking loudly. In a complaining mode.

I think he's right, though. The weather will turn this week. The leaves are falling, the moon is waxing, and I have the spirit of a black cat haunting my house - she's been seen by three people now. The bells are going at the Art Museum, I have bits of poems and plans for projects jumping around in my head, and I'm suddenly dying to be digging elbow-deep in pumpkin guts...

Mrowr!

(Lepidopteran, the Countdown Calendar is fantastic.)

I held a performance piece Sunday night - which I'm currently digitizing as we type! - featuring much Halloween-ness: pumpkin-carving, lots of punkin goo flying, a candles, leaves, lots of black tulle and a brief monologue about Sleepy Hollow, NYC, and dreaming. This in followup to my first, about HP Lovecraft and multiplicity! Woo!

And I've been holding daily rituals, featuring black and white striped candles, since the 23rd. Charging candy corn, feeling the crackle and the chill in the air, INCREDIBLY busy and stressed right now. Four friends and I held an imprompteau circle last night, for the purpose of making noises with our mouths - but after an hour, all of us were engaged in some sort of ecstatic prayer (I was OM KALI KALI MA myself) and occasionally pouring hot wax on each other. As we fell out one person was rolling across the floor in hysterics, and kept it up for a good 10 minutes. That was some FINE spark right there.

Back to work! The time is upon us! Keep it haunting!

I'm impressed with what you've been doing, Seamus! I usually make too many plans and end up scrapping half of them. But then, does Halloween really end on November 1st?

Last night, I took a total break from magico-political work and just lay there like a, well like a dead thing, and let the Autumn current run through me. Boy, I needed that! I have a bag of candy corn that's going to sit in the moonlight through the eclipse tonight. And fangs that need filing.

Sekhmet, has the weather improved where you are?

Oh one last thing: Rivendell winery in New Paltz, NY, has a special wine that they sell only during the Halloween season, called "Undead Red." The label is a creepy black and white picture of a woman, and they melt red wax down the bottle neck so it looks like dripping blood. It's pretty good wine, too!

And don't forget the Bols Pumpkin Liqueur (or, while we're on spooky drinks, the Blavod Black Vodka).

And who can say "Absinthe?" I knew you could. My father-in-law has converted an entire room of the house into an absinthe bar, complete with iced-water fountain. He makes an absolutely lethal, venomous little drink called a Voodoo Pigalle - absinthe, chartreuse ("a thousand herbs and altars"), and Midori. *dies*

I'll pass along the recipes from this thread, in case there are any he doesn't have.

[And on a thread-rotty booze note: Kalashnikov, the famed inventor of the AK-47, et.al, now has his own brand of vodka. (-what was that velvet glove wrapped around again? Oh, I thought so...) I can see a whole sub-cult of ballistically-named drinks building up around this one.]

“Halloween Spirits” *hic*

A Witch’s Brew would go down smooth,
if followed by a Zombie.
Then Eye of Toad, some Black Blavod
and a Black Cat with a cherry.
Perchance a Bloodbath or a Nightmare,
or some Redrum ‘twould be heaven!
But it’s a Voodoo Pigalle, cool and tall,
for October Twenty-Seven!

Just writing that made me feel tipsy.

Cheers!
