TRANCE CHANNELERS an' ALIEN ABDUCTEES an' CRYSTAL HEALERS an' HERBALISTS an ELVIS

evuh-lovin' DOOR OF YOUTH, an' MINE is th' CUP of th' WAHN of LAHF, th' CAULDRON of
Carry-dwin, which Ah tell yew is th' HOLY GRAIL OF IMMORTALITY!
Ah am th' Gracious Gawdess who hath given th' gift of youth unto th' heart of awll
mankind, an' yew won't even have to but that expensive Oil of Olay stuff to attain it! Ah

She, in th' DUST of whose feet are th' HOST of HEAVEN, whose body encircles this her
Universe!
Ah am th' BEAUTY of th' GREEN EARTH, an' th' WHAHT MOON among th' stars an' the mystery
of th' WATERS. Ah CALL unto your soul, brothahs and sistahs of th' Craft! Ah call, Arise
an' come UNTO me. For Ah am th' SOUL OF NATURE who give LAHF to this here UNIVERSE, for

brothahs an' sistahs, so there be NO MISTAKE what Ah mean! Yew awll come from th' Gawdess,
an' to Me yew shay-ull return!
Beloved of awll th' gawds an' men, le MAH worship be in your heart. Rejoice, Craft
brethren, for beHOLD, awll acts of love an' pleasure are mah rituals, which means Go
Foth An' Get Laid!!!
Ah don't care HOW yew do it, whethah yew do it with yo' WIFE or WIVES, or yp' HUSBAND
or HUSBANDS, or your BOYFRIEND or GIRLFRIENDS, or whethah yew favuh yo' OWN GENDAH or not,
Ah DO NOT CARE how yew do it, Ah do not even care if yew do it with yo' eggbeatah or
blendah, awll Ah ask is that yew BE RESPONSIBLE an' not hurt anyone in th' process, and
don't fuh-get to wrap yo' willie, fo' Do What Thou Wilt shay-ull be th' whole of
th' law, an' those who DO NOT KEEP MAH LAW shay-ull be REINCARNATED until they get it
RAGHT!
Therefore, let there be BEAUTY an' STRENGHT--POWER an' COMPASSION--HONAH an'
HUMILITY--MIRTH an' REV'RUNCE within yew. An' yew who think to seek me, know that your
seekin' an' yearnin' will NOT AVAIL YEW, unless yew KNOW TH' MYSTERY, that if THAT WHICH
YEW SEEK yew fahnd not with yo'self, yew will NEVAH fahnd it WITHOUT! For beHOLD, Ah have
