The Invocation of Mary Magdalene
Saturday, February 11, 2023
The voice of Freyja, (Old Norse: “Lady”)
Press play.
Salute.
(A lone voice whispers)
People can leave for any reason
You know
But don't worry
If they have to suddenly go
Because the heart was made to grieve
From pain
Grief
Heartbreak
Love
And so much more
For Pain
Like the Pacific Ocean
Comes in undulating waves
When it suddenly beaches through your heart's front door
Making you sometimes want to faint and fall onto the ground
But all you can do
Is beat memories leathery drum hard
And recall those pivotal magical moments
With their potent sound
Bound by a love of some kind
And gather all those once-happy moments around
Pleading with angels
The original ones
Sent to save mankind
To stand strong
As your eternal gatekeepers
To help you push back against the darkness
Filled with political and social deceivers
The ones who try to hold your hands when emotions start to run deeper
And lead you into murky waters
We all know in here
You need rescuing and protection from the world's
Crazy circus of violence
All around you
For you are just ordinary folk
Clinging to hope
And praying Angels watch over you so you may grow strong
For even though your heart was built to love and grieve
For a reason
Pain still leaves a stain
When it appears like an act of treason
But even Death is just a turn
A slight turn in the journey
For one day
We will all be reunited
Underneath the tree with the golden leaves
No more to grieve but to smile and embrace
No more part of that seemingly neverending race
For in the heart that challenges all seasons
In the rain
Sun or snow
Know this
Love never vanishes under the snow
Washes away in the rain
Or even burns up in the Sun
It just stays hidden in the middle of all hidden things
The mortal mind knows
Waiting for that particular memory song to be sung
So all its lovely moments can return and grow
And give you the consoling truth
You may sometimes desperately need
That even after a hard time of snow
Sun or rain
That there by your inner brook
Your happiness
Strength
Resilience
And rebirth
In the form of a sacred Lotus
Will flower again

The Monologue of The Hopeful Soul
Press play before reading.
Salute.
(A lone voice whispers)
Oh Lord
Let me rise
And meet my love again
Some day
Somewhere
Oh Lord
Help me lift my soul
To know
She still moves
Just in another form
To suddenly appear
Some day
Somewhere
I may go
For she's the Queen
Of all I hold dear
Even though
I am a seer
Oh Lord
Missing her
Still fills me with tears
Tainted with fear
Oh Lord
Now as I look for her
In the East
Singing love songs of old communion
Like a local priest
Humming and dancing real slow
As memories of her are released
Visiting places, we used to play
And venues we used to feast
Oh Lord
I just whisper
Lacerta
Rigel
Sirius
Procyon
Arcturus and
Betelgeuse
Turn your faces towards me
And crown me with heavenly starlight
To guide me
Through this long night
As I sit alone and write
Apollo strike me up
A merry tune
Filled with blessings and sacred runes
Hermes
Send word of where
She now stays
So I can worship her
Through this pain
Writing for her glory
As I share our stories
Of running in the wilderness
Amongst the badlands of covid and men
Before she drifted into infinity
Suddenly
So
Oh Lord
One day
Somewhere
When I die
Will you bring her
Back to me again

Visions of an Apocalyptic Future
Some say films are used as a physiological medium to condition society
I searched for this old piece I started in 2016
For a new book
After watching
The Last of Us
The Last of Us carried echoes of my first draft in 2016
A dystopian future controlled by cruel overlords
It seems such a dark channeled vision of a possible future
The war in Ukraine
NATO in a proxy war with Russia
Nuclear war threat
Sudden deaths worldwide
Covid vax lies
Higher prices across the board
A decimated economy looming
But have hope
The light always finds a way
Well here it is
As written in 2016
Seems so far away
Looking back
Salute.
Sometimes we write for we must!
ON JANUARY 10, 2016 BY JOHN DUFFY
USA, Arizona, Quartzsite, Ghost Town, Castle Dome For the readers.
I sometimes write to relax.
A piece I started a few years ago whilst going through a rather dark phase
after my father died and began reading about the various themes
supported strongly on various conspiracy websites,
Which shall remain nameless of course
At the time
the seemingly endless suffering and sudden surge in cancer diagnoses
created anger
at the lack of meaningful treatment
and the feeling that something wasn’t all it seemed to be
This proved to be my own form of Catharsis
and with my introduction to the word itself
I began writing.
FREEDOM.
FOR THEY LIVE.
The Year is 2021.
I Will begin before I get thirsty for some more Jack Daniels No.7
If you wondering why you should read the journal
of a Jack Daniels-drinking old hermit
Hiding in a working crematorium
think again
You need to know
This Dystopian Hell needs destroying
The old quote
“I didn’t speak out and when they came for me, there was no one left to speak for me “
Is sometimes too true
Don’t be one of the blind
Be one of the few who seek answers
Be one who finds some
Everyone wants the Truth but everyone is afraid, to be honest
The Time is always right to do what is Right
” The healthy man does not torture others,
more than often it is the tortured who interns into the torturers.”
A couple of memorable historic speeches before I start
” One day after I am long gone,
You will remember and say,
We should have stopped the nuclear program of Israel,
Abolished the Federal Reserve and kicked out secret societies, occultists, usurpers
And Zionists out of our wonderful Country
To keep it that way but it is never too late, just remember that ”
1917 – 1963 R.I.P
” A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious.
But it cannot survive treason from within.
For the traitor appears not as a traitor but speaks in accents
Familiar to his citizens and wears their faces and arguments.
He appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation and works secretly to undermine the pillars of the city,
Infecting the body politics so that it can no longer resist. ”
106 – 43 BC R.I.P
Two very wise men
Did we learn anything from them?
Maybe now but then, NO!
Just a heads up, if I start using profane language
Blame Uncle Jack
He’s such a bad influence.
It started in 2014 with the preplanned Confiscation Movement
And ended up here in 2021
Total Dystopia
Ruled over by insidious and heartless Overlords
Whilst RFID populations
Worldwide
Slaved in dire inhumane conditions
Mensentio fed the World to death and cancerous tumors
Big Pharma, supported by the corruptible Laws of the Lands
Enforced the daily consumption of Goodness
And Newspeak ruled the Airwaves
The Truth needs to be heard
Our voice must get out
Men still carry False Flags
People still eat from the fruits of the Beast
The Rich still live in gilded palaces
The Hell on Earth is here
if the Truth gets out maybe the
Change we clamored for in 2013 might happen
#FREEDOM
We were warned by Foreshadowing
Open your Eyes
Wake up for THEY LIVE
I am a refugee in a funeral home
My last hiding place from a long line of others
Hidden from sight by occupying a secret compartment
In the furnace room
Protected by the lead-lined walls
From handheld or drone thermal scanners
Items in the room
Beat down leather chair
Chunks of polyurethane foam oozing out of its torn areas
A large dark wooden table
Stained with unknown substances
Enmeshed into the grain coloring the worn surface
Names scratched into the dirty filthy surface with primitive implements standout
Ironically Robert Olmstead been one
H. P. Lovecraft would have smiled all the way from his watery fourth-dimension home
in the legendary Innsmouth
If he knew
A beaten old black Remington typo dominates the desk
Reams of faded A4 paper rustling the table legs like old lovers
A half-drunk bottle of Jack Daniels
Sits unencumbered by the silence
Twinkling in its golden hue created by the only means of light in the room
A rapidly fading yellow altar candle
A bundle lays undisturbed upon the grimy floor
Ready for battling the dark when needed
Nearby in silence
Waiting to also be drunk with need
Glistens more Uncle Jacks
Sleeping remedy for long nights and heavy days
Medicinal of course
Electricity no longer trusted
For smart meters will alert the 4 Reich Death Squads
Hardly home from home
But wanted men can’t be fussy
As they say in certain circles
If you live in the South of Oceania
And are stuck in your rural self-contained prisons
Here’s what we have to contend with
…Just a brief overview…
Attack dogs and guards stand on every street corner
Hand scanners at the ready
If you're not showing your RFID chip when processed
Then FEMA awaits
The black heavily armored vans
Hidden from view with wrist and ankle chains
Will readily accommodate you
People line up to pass through the many checkpoints
That occurs every 100 meters
Pre-Crime cameras clinging to every surface above two meters
Watching
Always analyzing
New studies into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
Has identified the Criminal gene
And if you're scanned and the gene is identified
FEMA awaits
Drones pollute the smoky air
Scanning buildings with thermal imaging cameras
Observing numbers and collecting the names of persons in the properties
As they fly past
My story is going out for the masses
To YOU
Using now expensive paper and an old typo
(Typewriter to the generation of gadget freaks)
Remington rocks
Anything electronic can be traced and erased
The old ways are the best
Read my tale and learn…WAKE UP
Nada and Frank Armitage tried
Now it's my turn
WAKE UP
For They Live
Noises from the perimeter scanners
Indicate the hybrid transhumanist attack dogs
Are nearby
Sometimes write for we must!
Mmmm...it could be my next small project. Salute.
Would you read it?
Kenja's Monologue
Press play before reading.
Salute.
(A lone voice whispers)
I may be wrong
You may think you're an exception
For you're so strong
But
Nothing lasts forever
For the world
You once knew
Will someday burn
Like Notre-Dame Cathedral
Signaling your life's own insurrection
For even loyal hands like yours
Will become weak
Trying to master the ebbs and flows
In keeping the grand balance of turning
Your Great Wheel
And living
Each and every week
With all you know
For each person has a Sacred Wheel
Their spirit slowly turns
Some slow
Some fast
Some may stop and start
Some may last
But the Sacred Wheel must nevertheless turn
For the White Candle of Order
Love and Light
To burn
Or chaos death and endless night
Will return to corrupt
From the lips
Of The Omnious Devils Urn
For
Nothing physical lasts forever
Love
Relationships
Life
Even Friendships
For all things have a sell-by date
When your soul leaves this life
And opens a new gate
But poetic
Memories and emotions
Will always remain
Since the bright stars will one day fade away
And a familiar hand will wave and welcome you
Across
Into a new strange land
But until then
Know this as our parting kiss
Nothing lasts forever
This I've learned
So I wish the turner of your Sacred Wheel
The Higher You
Blessings of the heart and soul
To continue
And to always remember
.
No matter how bright or bleak it seems
Make it your goal
Each and every week
To give that sacred wheel
Another turn
No matter how small
So the White candle of Order
Love and Light
Burns
And make poetic
Memories and emotions
In a cruel world
With all its twists and turns
The only things to try to earn
Before you too
Like me
To here
Returns
With Charon
Deaths version
Of Lord Byron
We all call
The Ferryman of Hades
The deliverer to this hell hole
Where all memories of an old life fades

A sad moment in history
The Ballad of Whispering Dove
Press play before reading.
Salute.
As she stood in the blustering winds
In the half-light
Of a secret candlelit Temple
Called Vias Vetitum
(Forbidden Ways)
Standing still
Looking stunning
After years of wildly running
Forever searching for the lost mythical Spring
Flowing with Love
The Maid
Called the Whispering Dove
Heard whispers
As a new song played
From high above
Tender words floated down
Surrounding her
Like gently blown Dandelion seeds
In those few seconds
Before the red rivers
Rose-colored scent could guide her
As it nearby flowed
A lone voice then whispered words
Her soul fire needs
Carried like a soft echo
In the midnight air
''Deep down
You know
The immortal stain
Of only laughter and pain"
Its low tone rang out like a toll keeper's golden bell
With a mighty yell
As that line was carefully spoken
Reminding her
Is love worth the risk
Of being so broken
If that's all
That remains
For if nothing is duly delivered
Like endless happiness
Sensuous loving
In smiling long nights
Will God appear in the half-light
Like a humble shadow
To explain
Where does love go
And as long as it takes to do this
To find new love
Is that how long you've got to wait
Maybe for eternity
As
Whispered by Morgana Dellacort's brother
Called
Alfonso Profane
For is there now
Only small victories
To be found in
second-hand memories
Emotional connections linked to out-of-date anniversaries
Of old love
Bad love
Grief love
Shy Love
Good love
Family Love
But all love
And even if no new love
Can be found in the deep depths of the Mythical Spring
Is that why God gave us all the profound gifts of memories
To help us
Let someone
Who knows us
Carry us with love
Into the next century
To sustain
Even if we can't find anyone to break us
Out of our own
Self-made penitentiary

Riding hard - With Sista Blue
Press play before reading.
Salute.
Memories
Is all I got
For my true loves
On the highways
Riding hard
With Sista Blue
And I'm in the big house
Cos my loving days
Are Through
My tears are
Falling
Calling
Like lonely raindrops
As I think of you
And
Memories
Is all I got
Memories of someone
Who haunts me
They're everywhere
I see
Memories
Reminding me
Of a place
A place
I wanna be
But still
Memories
Is all I got
For my true loves
On the highways
Riding hard
With Sista Blue
And I'm in the big house
Cos my loving days
Are Through
Filled with
Memories
Hurting
As you pray
For someone new
Remembering her saying
Stick around boy
Whatever you do
Don't come for me
I'll come for you
But now
My true loves on the highways
Riding hard with Sista Blue
And I'm in the big house
Cos my loving days
Are Through

Late Night Whispers of Bildo Maldeano
Dreaming about strands of an unfinished love
On an undulating blue and green sea
Mentally riding the fast midnight pain train
Of broken visions that plead to remain
As these sad tears sit snug
Inside me
As my loyal and so familiar companions
Waiting for my eyes loving hug
Filled with feverish dreams
That I cannot let blow out
Like a white pristine
Funeral candle and let die
My soul takes flight
Late
Every night
Searching for its port key
Over all it see's
Looking for its only dandelion home
To a place beyond
The stars
All mortal idealisms
Personal wars like Flanders Fields
Raw emotions
Linked to darkened
Old rooms
Of compartmentalized memories
And so many other complications
Which can quickly turn
Into torturous situations
Where pure daydreams
Can no longer thrive
But in pain
Cry out for exculpation
And redemption
To survive
Begging for Despair
To be excommunicated from this church
For it will never yield
And as it returns
Walking back
From paths concealed
With fruits of The Hunt
Found beyond
The likes of
Flanders Fields
To me
It's host and living ghost
Bildo Maldeano
Whose flesh it uses
As its shield
We once more merge
Together as one
And begin to run
As we both know
My mortal time is nearly done
