The Two of Swords
Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. I have let you run without a leash, I have given you all that you ask for, and you still demand more.
You and your Adminstration have run riot over the World in an orgy of destruction for the greed and profit in the name of the Prince of Greed. You have trampled on the Republic, but you are not alone responsible for these Excesses. You and the princes and dukes of Washington D.C. are corrupt beyond measure, and have become a defacto one party state, a dictatorship. You ave bowed your neck to a foreign Queen, you have taken her 'Order of the British Empire, and consired with her Prime Minister to wage War.' for services rendered. You were given Freedom, and wrought Tyranny. Therefore a day known to All shall be your Two of Swords.
On this day, you will either embrace the Many Souled One, or you will cleave to Mammon and its Death Eaters. You have claimed that you are the Decider. So, President George W. Bush, you will Decide. You have a choice between Mercy and Judgement, and all your riches will become worthless if you choose to remain among the followers of Voldemort the Hunch Brained.
You created a Great Fear of Osama Bin Ladin and his Al Quaida, yet you should have been afraid of Me. You have made your Bed, and now you must lie in it, whether it is the Bed of Nails you have used on others; or whether it will be the Bed of Liberty and Mercy.
I am unlooked for, and I COME as a Thief at the Witching Hour.
Pay Attention! This is your Last and Final Warning. You have planned War against the American People. You have ignored all of the other warnings without consequence. This One you will not escape if you don't, for your riches and your powerful connections will not save you anymore. I won't be your Judge, the True Representaltives of the People, or the representatives of the middle class you ave terriblely abused, shall Judge you in Their Own Sweet Way.
Sincerely,
Sheik Sebir, the Hidden Imam
P.S. I want to hear FIVE Words come out of President George W. Bush's mouth, although one will suffice. I want to hear "Proclaim Liberty Throughout The Land!" come out of his mouth, although one of those words will suffice, for it is my belief that he has no aquaitance with such a concept.
I have never heard this man say the word "Liberty". He must say this word by July 4, 2008 23:59 Hours, or the Rotted Gods will be freed to Foreclose their Mortgage on his Soul. If he does then he may be allowed to limp through his term withthe power to make further war curtaied. The same is true for the Presidential Candidates. The Candidate who utters this phrase within that time should be the next President of the United States. If they all don't say it by election day, then the Rotted Gods can have their Souls as well...

The CAWT_Network Yahoo! Group is sponsored by the Church of All Worlds Tradition Network CAWTN) Two Rivers Nest and exists for anyone to express their thoughts about the evolving CAW Tradition (Really!), starting or getting publicity for a CAWTN Nest, and anything else of interest. CAWTN is an informal network not formally a part of CAW. CAW III's Nesting (coven) program has been restarted, but getting recognized as a Proto-Nest has some requirements many CAW startups may not be meet the qualifications for awhile.
The Usual Links and Stuff are here!!
The present position on theCAWT Wheel of the Year is about re-establishing ties with CAW members that were broken during the Cusp, and establishing Green Egg as an on-line Magazine.
However, if you want to send me E-mail then send stuff to My Primary Email, or My Personal "Business" Email, or The really 'cool' G-mail.
Most of what I have done is in vain, getting this out successfully has a snowball's chance in Hades of occurring - there is so much informaton around to understand that no one Listens anymore! So, I need a ♫"Little Help From My Friends...!♫ ;-Þ The Enemy must be told something about what is going on before it occurs, it's one of the Arcane Rules of the Game, but it doesn't have to be clear and understandable, so it isn't - and if you can't Grok in Fullness, then too bad! Only the Virgins who have kept their lamps trimmed will Understand it anyways. This is hopefully, the conclusion of My Geis against screwing around with our country's soldiers, sailors, veterans, marines and veterans. It;s almost been finished, and I don't care much anymore if you do think I'm out of my freakin' Mind. I won't say much else about this (right! ;-> )until Monday. Signing off from the Land of Whatever... "Mischief Managed!"
Although George Carlin was often funny, almost everything he said was True, whether that Truth was petty or profound, controversial, ironic, inconvienent, embarrassing, or 'double-negative ungood'! Sometimes, the only way to absorb what he said was to decide his comments were "funny" and laugh at them rather than face what he said at face value. He will, indeed be sorely missed...
(06/15/08)Update from Cat: The domain registration transfer is *FINALLY* complete, and www.caw.org
All of the CAW email addresses have been re-established (and some have been
improved upon :-); ) So if you need something you can email us again!
NT,
Cat
(06/03/08)Update from Cat: [This] ... is going out to all "official" CAW lists, as well as to all members for whom we have email addresses in the database. If you are on a CAW list which you think this should be passed on to, you have my permission to do so as long as the list policies permit forwards. Please forgive duplicates, and please do not reply-all to this list [CAWT_Network Y! Group] - please reply *only* to the list you are on if you post replies.
*In the meantime*, our new Web Hosting Service, Lunarpages (who we *would* recommend, BTW), as they have been very accommodating both with Grey School and with us trying to resolve these problems) allows us 4 domain names registered for life (or as long as we have our web pages on Lunarpages), for *FREE* (i.e., included in our hosting fee), so we have obtained *3 more* domain names for CAW. You can now get to the CAW website by using:
For now all our email addresses are still "off", so continue to email me directly if you need anything and don't know who to mail or have only a caw.org address, and I will redirect things to everyone. Make sure you have a relevant subject line, of course, to avoid my SPAM filters. Once www.caw.org
That said, our launch has also been delayed by circumstances beyond our control, so while the new web site is now *up* on those 3 web sites, Phase 1 is not yet complete, and we can't accept new member registrations or new membership applications yet. But if you want to drop by and take a peak and get an idea of how fabulous it's going to be, we'd love for you to do so :-) And the old forums have been cleaned up and moved over as well, so *YEAH*, no more Forum SPAM! ! ! ! ! (Can you tell I'm excited!) And as soon as we have membership finished, folks will be able to log in to the forums and begin accessing the new Members Only areas! *WHOO HOOO!*
O.K., all that said.. are you *FIRED UP*!?!? I hope so! Because I need something from you ;-) Because of the new site design, we have to have a way to link your web site registration records with your membership database records for everything to be as interactive as we want it to be. What we have chosen to do to make this possible, and to make participation on the forums more personal, is that we are going to require that everyone have *either* a Magickal Name or a CAW Username. If you have a Magickal Name, then that will become your CAW Username and that's what we will be creating your website account with. If you do *not* have a Magickal Name, you need to create a Username that you will use within CAW. This can be any name that you want folks to know you buy within CAW. It can be your screen name that you most often post to email lists under, or your "pagan community name" or it can even be your real name if you wish. But once you have chosen it, only an administrator can change it, so please choose carefully.
Now, we currently have a bunch of people in the membership database who do not currently have a Magickal Name on their application. If you are one of those folks, please *EMAIL ME DIRECTLY*, off list, to let me know what you would like your CAW Username to be so that I can set up your web site account and have it all ready for you when we have our official launch. Also, we have a handful of users who transferred over from the old forums. *IF* you had signed up for the old forums but did not use your Magickal Name when you did so, please email me to remind me what your *old* forums Username was and what your Magickal Name/CAW Username should be so that we can get those corrected before the launch. And if you just no longer like your old Username and want to change it, tell me that as well and we'll do so (one time free offer ;-)
Alright! That's it! Are you Excited! I'm Excited!
NT,
Cat
Update from Cat:(05/31/08) "... This is just a heads up to let you know that the CAWeb and the caw.org email addresses will be down temporarily. We are in the process of moving the website and the domain from one hosting agent to another, and the account at the old hosting agency (jumpline), expired before the domain name transfer was complete (i.e., before it was redirected to our new server at lunarpages). so they're using our old server spot for something else now and you still get that server when you type in caw.org. So if you run into something *weird* for the next few days, please don't panic. CAWeb will be back up very soon!
And if you need to reach *anyone* you would have normally mailed to a
caw.org address, please just email me, and I will forward it for you.

The Minoan "Three Ladies" and the "Cretan Pentagram" are almost ready, they've been data-diddled, of course. A note on Data diddling: this is a age-old practice, even in Anthropology. For instance the famous Paeolithic "Shaman", that we think we know was extensively reworked from the almost faded original from the Lascaux cave complex...
Update:(05/26/08) This is Memorial Day, and the flag is ON. I'm not going to do much today. The Cretan Lady image is new, and it's data-diddled - it's not the original. ..
(05/22/08):
Modern Archeologists may not have the Nazis after them, but their equivalents are the armed militias that harass dig sites. Looters and black market theives often invade dig sites looking for loot to sell - it's a time dishonored profession. The major creepy crawlies for areal archeologist isn't tarantulas or flesh eating scarabs - it's often the common mesquito - which carry a host of nasty diseases that cause severe sickness - and the venomous snakes. Is there a real effectove mummy's curse? Probably not, but tomb's bad air, air that''s bveen trapped for centuries, can have some nasty surprises that are more effective than eany curse...
However, I won't be able to see it for quite some time, as I'll have to save up for it, but it sounds like a MUST see - so, it's on my TO DO List...!
(05/17/08): Many of the graphics I've been working on are all but complete, they only need to be 'giffed", or jpegged, and uploaded. At least three are from the Minoan culture. and I've done a large amount of data diddling with most of them to show what I think they many have looked like when they weren't as old as the are now, so don't expect them to be the "library" versions. I've removed alot of backgrounds by hand to create more "floating" images. The financial diatribes will be put in storage soon - I've got other topics that need addressing...
I visit a fair number of websites, and I pick and choose what goes on "pagetwo.html. I've noticed that many of them don't have images anymore, or they've tried to stop viewers from downloading them, which baffles me! Look, a GIF or JPG isn't the original so it's not worth anything, and any use of such images by others is a free advertisement for your work - the value of the orginial work is enhanced - so freely share them!!!.
(04/01/08): I'm working on new graphics, including hunting for and changing images for upcoming articles. I'm now 57 years old....
Some were ensnared by the petty squabbles, intercene politics, power grabs, takeovers, and other aspects of Church Culture. Some left CAW Inc. to die a Cold Death in the Dark of Neglect in favor of iCAW; joining with the Ohio BoD after it attempted and failed to destroy CAW Inc. and utterly erase its Tradition, before it slithered out of existance itself. That doesn't matter much, for the symbol of CAW III is a phoenix, therefore - ***CAW is a Phoenix! *** Sometimes it has to destroy itself in order to be reborn. There are those who may still have resentments and strong emotions about it for any number of reasons. This is one place to resolve those ancient issues that may be clogging Understanding and Enlightenment...
Now, I don't care if y'all believe what I'm about to say, or think I'm daft, but I'm asking y'all to think about it for awhile before you dismiss it out-of-hand as the ravings of an Utter Fool. Well, I resemble that remark - I was born on April 1st and I don't care if I have to play one for awhile, or even become a "Voice Crying in the Wilderness". The SISL CAW was a both church and school. Atl is a school, CAW I and CAW II were both churches and schools, and so is CAW III!
One can get through college in four to five years, get a PhD in another two to three years, and spend more time getting a doctorate. So that's an investment of 12 years beyond High School. For the most time the courses have fixed units for graduation, and there may be some electives along the way. CAW doesn't work that way. From what I can gather, it counts CUSPs, not years...
One CAWTN's is to help former members and others reconcile their CAW II and iCAW experiences, and their personal problems with what CAW is. Some of you have to have some help or know other people who need help discovering why they crashed and burned, even if that means several trips to Study Hall. CAWTN would like to assure them that this time they can succeed, and that all is not lost. CAW is an adult swim, and one has to have at least some idea what's going on, and PAY ATTENTION, to appreciate what is going on this time around the sun - GROK???
There was a lot of bitterness and angst over conflicts and misunderstandings of what was going on in CAW II, and some people have decided to. CAW has survived Clergy and BoD resignations, unfair treatment of members, attempted dissolution by the BoD, squabbles over money and Green Egg, power plays, a highly infectious form of HP Disease, and personality conflicts. However, this survival has come at a terrible cost, and many people left CAW without understanding what it was really about, or how to succeed within it. I'd like to help change that... [[[ This is definately NOT OVER!!!]]]

The Introduction explains what the 'Rap is all about. BTW -- Some people who have found the 'Rap by accident may be asking, Who on Earth is the Goddess, Anyways?, ...
While I hope that CAWTN Nests there still are will grow up to be CAW proto-nests when the time comes, it's also for Nests, like the CAWTN "Two Rivers Nest", that may not be able to qualify for future CAW proto-nest status for a long time - a very long time - and for Independent Nests and individuals who don't feel that they want to belong to a larger organization, as wel as those who do. The Celtic Double Tree of Life is the "CAWTN's Logo and I'm using it for most other pages except the main page. I'm still using the Green and Red Gaiarinths where they're appropriate...
I have a Sheik_Sebir's Forum Please, take the time to answer either the Religious Survey 1040 for 2008 (Long form) or the quick and dirty 2008 1040-EZ Form Survey (Short Form) if you want to ask a quick question. The IRS tax form references are an inside joke, I used to be a Call Center Rep for the IRS, and they're really not bad at all - the surveys that is!

Sunday (06/29/08):"I solemnly promise I am Up to No Good!" All the messages, whether garbled or not, have been sent out Those who recieved garbled messages are those I don't trust much. Those of Good Will know how to edit it correctly. I intend to say very little about the Mystery of Engleray Satelserve until the flood of messages stops [ROFL!].
Dorian Grey says, "This may take all Day!"
Sunday (06/29/08) CAWT_Network Y! Group and the BFR have emerged from CUSP Mode. "Rejoice, We Conquer!" The Holds on the BFR and CAWT_Network mysteriously vanished this Sunday, near Daughter-Rise. I'm sure we're all tired. Congratulations to our first CAWTN Priestess, Catherine Deville. The WAITING IS ... OVER! We have achieved Liftoff and Orbit. So Mote It Be! There is much to be done yet, but it's time to get some Rest before the Real Great Work begins in earnest.
(06/23/08)George Carlin has passed on, and the 'Mercan Mass Media never GROKKED that he was alot more than just a run-of the-mill comedian, for he did what the great majority of modern comedians can't or won't do - He told the Truth. True comedians don't need laugh-tracks. Laugh-tracks are used to cover up a comedian's hollow, mediocre, shallow, insipid, untalented pandering to the Political, Social, and Spiritual Correctness of the Day, and are therefore mostly incompetant at their craft. Carlin was not PC, or a sit-com light weight - he was the real thing - a rare bird that has real talent, and isn't afraid to use it....
This is just a short update to let you know what's going on with the website. As I wrote last week, we ran into a technical snag getting our domain name (www.caw.org
Update:(06/10/08) Whoa! The readership of the "Rap skyrocketted from 5 visits to 99 visits for one day! I wonder what happened? I guess the reason is obvious - it's one of the reasons the 'Rap still exists. Now, many in CAW have access ro CAW-Phoenix Y! Group, so where did these readers come from? All I can hope for is not to lose them ...
It's coming to the theaters today - "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull", which I understand covers these magickal objects and their legends. This movie will be the 'Hollywood' version of a very interesting subject, for the crystal skulls are quite real and are fascinating [in the magickal sense] whether they're the genuine article which are the proverbial "impossible objects", or modern "fakes". In either case, their manufacture is mysterious, as some are truly ancient and inexplicable, and others have a 19 C, or other origins. If a "fake" can do what's some claim the ancient skulls can do, then they're not really fakes, are they?...

It took CAW more than **30 years** to graduate the Class of CAW II. What Graduation is will still remain a Mystery to you if you didn't Pay Attention, Slept through the Lessons, Played Hooky, or crashed and burned.
Our Times [Draft]
The U.S. continues to have bad weather in many places, with heavy rain flooding, and tornadoes in the Heartland, and severe drought in Kalifia and the South. This is just a part of what's been happening weatherwise throughout the world. This weather and other calamities will result in wild speculation in food and commodity markets, driving up the cost of food, bringng famines to much of the 3rd world. Food prices will be higher, gas will continue to rise, and more people will fall from the heights of wealth - and find there's no "safety net at all. Much of 'Merca's future food production is under water, and some are talking about Whether one believes in Global Warming or not, natural events are unfolding which may bring a great deal of suffering this year and next, and most of it will be in the Third World where riots and protests over food and gas prices are destroying the poor around the world.
Meanwhile, shippers, truckers and airlines are finding they can barely stay in business, especially when it may soon cost $3000 for a trucker to deliver $2000 worth of goods. There are trucker's and other work stoppages in the UK and the EU, and some of these protests have turned violent at times. Denver is busily preparing for the planned Democratic Party Convention police riots against demonstrators while marine and army troops are practicing house-to-house searches, arrest processing, and detentions of civilians, played by actors, for possible use 'overseas' in major U.S. cities - nah, it's for HERE!!...
The Silly Season rages on unabated, while the 'Cast the Blame Season' - the annual private auction of politicos and stolen property we call a National Election - is coming on quickly, and Scapegoats abound! It's the greedy speculators, it's Iran, it's the greedy FED (A Federally Chartered private Bank Corp.) and the EU Central Bankers saving their rich financial and banking buddies at the expense of the "little guy", it's Iran, It's the Big Oil, OPEC, and, of course, Iran. Now that Gays can marry in Kalifia (until the reactionary Fundamentalist Xtians try to pass a CA Constitutional Amendment in November) it's all their falult! It must be Iran! It's the gigantic Chinese Weather War Machine, it's Iran, it's HAARP, Its also the fault of the the Hedonists, the deb'bil worshippers, Pro-Choice, the Secular Humanists, Iran, and the Pagans - who all have sufficiently pissed off the loving and mercciful YHVH enough to bring down His Wrath on the wayward and hopelessly sinful United States of America, not to mention Iran. Yes, We're to blame for the flooding and economic devastation... Hey, Mea Culpa!! I did it ALL with my little hazel wand! (Yes, I'm kidding!) The followers of Greyface are in Denial, and can't accept their own part in these on-going and future debacles, so they project it on the Other, and this will intensify all the way through the coming Greater Depression and beyond... [This is still a draft, read it before I edit it OUT!)...
