My thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the recent tragedy in ChristChurch. May you find the strength to bear the incredible losses which you have suffered, which I can hardly make myself view or hear about.
---
And also, to those fighting or affected by the fighting in the Middle East, to those who have lost people to the violence, and to those who are or have been lost through its definitive example presently playing out particularly in Libya; and for the grief, healing and renewal to come, into the brighter, lighter days for which your children bravely spill so much of your blood into the sands of your ancient, magical, primeval, homeland, to free it from dictators, tyrrannical laws, religious ideologists, brutality and corruption.
---
And to all those affected by the recent, multi-element wrath of nature throughout Australia.
May the gods be with you all during this unusually novel time.

Queensland Disaster Fund

G'dday.
With apologies in advance to our Kiwi neighbours, whose suffering I am NOT ignoring: your
earthquake plight has speared me to the core. The same city hit twice in such a short time,
and so savagely, too. Well, I'm Australian, and Queensland got hit twice in a short time, too,
once with extensive flooding and once with a cyclone almost before the mop-up from the
flood had gotten underway properly.
I spent some time with Queensland folks who have been friends of mine for a long time now
just a day or two ago, and one thing they told me was that, what with the flooding in the south
and the cyclone in the north, 85% of Queensland had been declared a disaster-zone.
I knew it was very, very bad indeed, but I had no idea it covered that much of the state. You
can fit several Europeran countries in Queensland and still have spare room (I've forgotten
the exact statistic - does anyone here know?). Imagine how galvanised-into-action the whole
world will be if that much of Europe was disaster-struck.
Right after the floods and starting before the cyclone, I had previously raised a couple of
hundred dollars for the recovery effort by advertising that I'd be donating 50% of everything I
earnt by Tarot or my quit smoking programme (really, by any of my alternate skills, but they
seem to be the popular ones at the moment), and although it was a drop in the ocean, it gave
me a warm glow to know that I'd been responsible for raising it.
I am not a bottomless pit, but my friends and internet contacts ARE. And who am I not to use
you all <grin>?
I am frantically cleaning house (and evicting all my beloved spiders) for a tenancy inspection
over the next couple of days, and after that I'll be interstate for a few days on an unavoidable
mission (and one which, frankly, I've no intention of avoiding even if I could), but on my
return, I'll be looking to fund-raise like crazy. A part of my malaise at the moment is that I
haven't been doing enough productive things in the physical world, and it's time to get busy. I
don't have useful tradie skills to take up north on a physical journey to do some real repairing
and rebuilding, so I'm going to damn well raise some serious money! <smile>
Accordingly, from the 2nd March onwards, right after I get back, I intend to do a hell of a lot of
work for you people.
Those of you who can physically reach the Central Coast of NSW and who smoke, it's high
time you gave up. Do you know how much you spend on smoking a week? A month? A year?
You wanna save that money, improve your health (and your attractiveness to others!), and
become a happy non-smoker who doesn't even miss ciggies and enjoys their food, drink and
perfume a hell of a lot more? I'm your girl. Email me privately, I'll give you my business
mobile number, and we'll set up an apointment. If you're further afield but motivated, it's well
worth booking accommodation in the area - the Central Coast is lovely, and often if you
undertake a programme or ritual of personal change, taking yourself out of your own
environment to do so is like casting a Circle - it separates you from the mundane drains on
you in your everyday environment, and frees you to concentrate wholly on what is important.
I've charge $350 for the one-to-two hour consultation necessary to kick-start your change
through hypnotherapy, Gestalt Therapy, NLP and elements of shamanic work and for a
follow-up audio CD individually designed to your personal issues that connect to smoking in a
direct or indirect way, so it's pretty good value. And this time I'll be kicking in all of it, every
last cent, rather than splitting it down the middle. I'll bring with me a battered and dented
money-jar. I'll receipt any formal payment for my services that you make. I'll also donate any
money that you choose to drop into that jar, over and above it. Dig deep. There's a hell of a
lot of people whose lives have been utterly ruined, who will take years to come back, to find
homes, furniture, even the basics, and whose businesses or employers' businesses have
been completely ruined.
Those of you who simply cannot reach the Central Coast, I have a shameless pitch for you,
too. I'm set up to take Paypal. In 1993, I did my first long-distance reading over the net, for a
Canadian guy who paid me in a hand-carved wooden fetish-statue (which Customs promptly
grabbed and I never saw, but bless his heart anyway). When I was working out of a certain
new-age shop, I did a few phone readings. And over the last couple of years I've done a
stack of email readings as swaps for people at the Aeclectic Tarot website, great practice
and learning for everyone, and I'm now really confident of the ability of all my decks to
perform long-distance if I set the reading up properly. I charge $50 for a reading, either on a
set subject or a general reading simply to find out what's around you at the moment. That
isn't an hourly rate, that is for as long as it takes to set up the reading, consider it, then type
everything up and email it to you. Typing is slower than speech, so calculating that out to an
hourly rate it is often quite a bargain, depending on the reading. Again, email me privately
with your name and the subject you want me to read on if there is one, and I'll email you back
a Paypal button that will make $50 Australian vanish instantly out of your account and into
mine. You'll have your reading, complete with poor-quality digital photos of the cards attached
(sorry, I don't have a working scanner), within 48 hours of the transaction at worst - I love an
excuse to sit down with a deck.
Don't smoke and don't want a reading? I have the most shameless pitch of all for you! Yup,
you guessed it, throw money at me for NO REASON AT ALL, and in expectation of no return
from me! What could be better than that? I've been feeling flat lately, as if I'm achieving
nothing, and you'll give me the greatest gift of all: the feeling that even with the resources I
currently have which doesn't include heavy construction machinery, instant cyclone reversal
technology or cardiac surgery (to mend all the broken hearts), with all of those lacks, your
generosity will give me the illustion that it is *I* who was so generous, and *me* who raised all
that money. You could make me feel terrific - how good is that?
I have a provisional target of $2,000 for this and I'd like it very soon after the second of March
please, Universe. And yes, I understand that Paypal takes great chunks of your earnings
away when you transfer it into your real-money bank account, which is why quite a few of you
will have to choose to have readings or make donations, to make it all worthwhile for me to
do! I've emptied the bank account attached to my paypal account, and I'll keep it that way
until I raise whatever I'm going to raise, and pass it on, so that personal funds don't get mixed
up in it.
(And for the couple I was discussing my own stuff with the other day, this is something
entirely separate, something in the way of a thank-you to the universe for helping me out on
that "unsolveable" dilemma I had at the time I spoke to you).
The address that I'm sending this from receives generous daily servings of spam, so
occasionally real mail to it gets accidentally dumped - my security level is set to the highest
possible setting, and I know things get lost. I check my other more reliable address daily and
will be watching it for evidence of your generosity and your willingness to make me work my
fingers to the bone - just email me at nisaba.merrieweather@hotmail. to take actioncom
against your smoking habit, have a reading or just throw money at me.
Yes, I'm being cheeky. You love it, you know you do. Honestly, it's about time I did something
*useful*.

THE SECRET SYMBOLS OF THE HELL FIRE CLUB
Limited to 666 copies, 50 in royal blue kidskin leather hand sewn and bound by the author with his own endpapers of Indian khadi paper stained red and marbled with black ink and liquid gold, to the front board is a gold tooled impression of the `Inner Temple Lamp'.
The remaining copies of this edition bound in saffron cloth with plain red endpapers, printed title label.
'Secret Symbols of the Hell Fire Club' which gives first hand information on the structure and operation of Hell Fire Club Chapters worldwide.
The book explains the nature of the Club, its membership structure, details the symbolism for the first time and opens a window to scholars wishing to delve deeply into its extraordinary spiritual and occult world. The book examines the use of two geometric 'Keys' which unlock Dashwood's notorious 18th century caves in surprising ways, shows the nature of the legendary 'secret passage' in the caves, relates the symbolism and activities of the club to magickal evolution and indicates the possible existence of Templar cosmology in the Hell Fire Club.
Beginning with the significance of signs on the Membership Cards, and ending with an occult interpretation of the serpent font in the church at West Wycombe, this beautifully written book lays bare every detail of the Hell Fire Club symbolism and relates it to magickal and spiritual evolution.
The book is designed to be both an introduction, a practical users manual for members, and an advanced tool for studying the surviving caves, temples and symbols associated with Sir Francis Dashwood's most notorious activities.
Collected from local oral legend, rare printed and manuscript materials and the authors own researches into the esoteric energies of the Hell Fire Club and the sinister `Knights of St Francis', an inner order which many believe still exists today.
Illustrated with over 70 pictures, photograophs and line drawings many seen here for the first time, we are given a rare glimpse into the most notorious and fascinating of secret societies from the inside.
Contains the first information to be published on the 'Phoenix Nest' group, a 1940's esoteric circle which met at West Wycombe in Buckinghamshire. Echoes of their work inspired by the Hell Fire caves, were picked up by the witchcraft researchers Gerald Gardner, Robert Cochrane and Evan John Jones up until the late twentieth century. The prime mover of the group was Maxwell Ashby Armfield whose study of symbolism, Theosophy and the writings of occultists such as Francis Isreal Regardie, and his correspondence with Dion Fortune and Aleister Crowley is only now coming to light.
