Well, my fellow pretzel, I'm gonna thank you for your---as always---guaranteed
occult ramblings. Who said "Simplify, Simplify"? I figured out that the Emily yr
referring to is Emily Dickinson---must look into her work, she appears to be an
acute observer of nature, and as Victor Anderson points out: "White magic is
poetry, black magic is anything that works." I remember Judy Foster telling
me that poetry works, so maybe it's not a black & white world, eh? I suppose I
need to read her work anyway, as she's emeshed in the New England
Transcendentalist web, the roots of the Green movement. And Emily is
name-checked in GR, ain't she?
But to get back to the center [if you want to ground, may I suggest a seven foot
long copper spike with some silver-clad six nines eight guage copper lashed to
it? That oughta work], I'm really looking for any possible chapter and verse biblical
references to the scene of Geli's magic spell.
