did she tell you what she did to effect this curse?

right, so we know the supposed effects. we could now
begin to try to construct such a curse here and see
if anything like that was delivered unto you.

I'll try to remember to p-ost that as a response
here (a Chaos Magick curse of this type).

>I knew she was into what her friends referred to
>as "Chaos Magic". ...

which means nothing at all about her.

> ...her friends ...said that as far as they knew she
>could very well have done something like that.

like what, precisely? *said* she placed a curse?
Chaos magicians aren't restrained from cursing.
do you know if she is a *good* chaos magician?
that may be more important long-term.

> ...possible that her curse is real

yes.

> or if it would be safe to shave it off.

do you know if she has ever done any other spells?
you should find out from your friends, if you are
not already convinced by the other posts in this
thread to take a different course, whether she has
ever cast spells before and what their results
were. if you don't know, and she was your
girlfriend, then it is unlikely she had done
much in the magic department.

but then again, you didn't even know she was
a chaos magician? either she just started (no
threat) or she was so clever you never figured
out her true power.

> ...I don't want to take a chance...

your first order of business should be to
determine whether you want to shave off the
beard. if you don't then there is no reason
to figure it out except for future options.

taking a chance is something that Chaos
Magick works with, yes.

Who would do a silly thing like that?  That's like handing out crib sheets
listing all your tells to your fellow poker players before the game.  It's
monumentally stupid.

Unless the details of the operation are part of the mind-fuck, there is
absolutely no good reason to tell one's victim anything about how you
performed the curse and plenty of bad reasons.

I'd recommend more research rather than following this
person's advice. good luck. cleansing herbs like Hyssop
and other remedials would be more commonly employed. it
sounds like you were looking for a confirmation that it
was nothing to worry about and didn't have a plan to
cut off your hair anyways.

no it is not like that at all. if one's victim is a
non-magic-user, and unlikely to do anything in
response to protect themsleves from the effects
because they "don't believe" as some have advised
in this newsgroup, it may be a helpful confirmation
of having cast the spell in fact.

> It's monumentally stupid.

depends, it could be if one tells the wrong person.
if the person is just going to go to someplace like
USENET and ask what to do about it (getting hyper-
rational responses about 'what you don't believe in
cannot hurt you', then it may be somewhat arch.

> Unless the details of the operation are part of
> the mind-fuck,

that's one realistic possibility, yes.

> there is absolutely no good reason to tell one's
> victim anything about how you performed the curse
> and plenty of bad reasons.

you're overlooking the part about how she told him
that she had cast the curse, directly. that isn't
standard spellcasting either, and the fact that
she is a Chaos mage makes anything possible.

my interest was in discovering as much IMPORTANT
information as i could and asking for it is the
best way to obtain anything substantive. merely
concluding without all the data that 'sure it is
safe' (because curses don't work, or whatever non-
explanation wasn't offered to us) is nonsensical,
and asking questions such as i have begun to do
is the responsible way to evaluate spellcasting
and the likelihood of a curse's effectiveness.
more information will be necessary via usenet,
and all that has been put forward so far are
hints and claims without details.

rather than merely criticize what i am asking,
you should be asking more questions of the person
who started the thread if you want to provide a
valuable magical reference service to those who
write to this newsgroup, rather than just promote
your own perspective of paltry information and
negation of what you don't seem to understand.

OK, you've got a point.  There is little silliness that will not be
practiced by "chaos magicians".

Helpful to whom?  The victim?  That seems pretty silly.  It's playing to
lose.

As for the advice to simply "don't believe it", that's all well and good if
you can explain how the querent can reliably stop believing in something
that they already know is completely irrational.  Psychtherapists all over
the world would love to have a technique like that.

Nagasiva, the suggestion to use mustard seed and chili seeds in his shaving

But perhaps Furby will seriously want to know where to buy some
cleansing herbs like Hyssop and other remedials. Could someone
recommend a reputable establishment where one could buy such items?

I am sure nagasiva is aware of my sarcasm.

prospective. he wanted to know if we thought that she
might in fact have performed such a curse and what the
likelihood was that he was in danger of losing his
libido due to shaving off his beard in the middle of
the curse, as it were.

shaving off a beard might be humourously related
to firing your stand-in wife who kept you from
a reputation of being gay. chaos mages should be
regarded with some seriousness. some of the most
interesting and active magicians that i've
known were HChaoyotes.

not to the haughty and those intimidating others
who are their full lessors. I am imagining that
this girl happened into a Chayoat encleave during
a full-on heat she's having of anger, so she's
gonna take it out on him for both practice
thrills and because he deserves it. her motive
seems straightforward. phoning him is one way
of engaging him without ever having to see
him again and he won't have recorded it,
unlike email or some public text-swap.

you're completely correct this would be
playing to lose if one were in a real match
of wits, skill, and power with an equal.

he's asking usenet. he can't be a Magus. ;)

This is a pretty loose association.

This kind of word coinage is one reason why it is so hard to take anybody
calling himself or herself a "chaos magician" seriously.

And another example of why they're so hard to take seriously.  That sort of
puffery is simply silly.

You are imagining.  That much is certain.  The rest is questionable.

Actually, from my perspective, it seems to be a match of lackwits.  Nobody

Are you sure that's not DonChaoyotes? It seems more suitable.

A's sarcasm is a waste of time.

Hyssop, recommended in the Bible for removal of sins, and Rue, used by
Italians and other Europeans for removal of curses, are well know
spiritual herbs that can be found for sale all over the iternet from a
variety of magical supply shops. Lemon Grass, an Asian herb used for the
same purpose, can be found in spiritual shops as well as in some Asian
grocery stores, as it is used in South Asian cookery. Syrian Rue
(Aspand), used by Iranians and other Middle Eastern folks for removal of
the evil eye and other cursed conditions can be found in sopiritual
supply shops and also in Middle Eastern grocery stores. In a pinch, you
can also use pine resin, burned as an incense -- it's free, if you have
pine trees around.

Something to note is that the biblical hyssop is not the herb known as
"common hyssop", hyssopus officinalis.  That plant was unknown in the Sinai
at the time the Book of Psalms was written.  Rather, the hyssop of the bible
is believed by scholars to have been origanum maru, also known as Syrian
oregano.

Another interesting tidbit of lore is that dittany of Crete, origanum
dictamnus, used in ceremonies of evocation, is also in the oregano genus.

True enough, and along these same lines, what European mages call Rue
(Ruta graveolens) and consider a cleansing and protective herb is
probably a local substitution for Aspand / Esphand / Harmal (Perganum
harmala), which is known to Europeans as Syrian Rue.

Aspand has a multi-millennia-old use in Middle Eastern magic and
medicine dating back at least to early Zoroastrian days. It contains MAO
inhibitors and is decidedly psychoactive, a mood-lifter. European Rue is
merely a leaf-look-alike with no psychoactive properties.

Interestingly, in our Euro-centric language stylings, the earlier-used
plant is tagged with the modifying adjective "Syrian" as if it were a
substitute for "real" Rue, but the oppositie seems to be the case --
European Rue was given the transferred protective magical symbolism of
Aspand because its leaves looks like those of Aspand.

Prior to the development of the Linnean system of botany,
leaf-look-alikes were often confused with genetic relatives.

Not to mention the Law of Similarities.  Mandrake, for another example, owes
a great deal of its magical properties to the fact that the root often
resembles the human form.

Joseph Littleshoes <jpsti...@isp.com> quotes Crowley:

>  DE ARTE KABBALISTICA

post-Cabalistica

> Do thou study most constantly in the Art of the Holy Qabalah.
> Know that herein the Relations between Numbers, though they be
> mighty in Power and prodigal of Knowledge, are but lesser Things.

this is anti-Pythagoreanism. it seeks to disempower the auspicious
ontological qualities of numbers, and to place them in a modern
reductionist mode.

observe as Crowley continues:

> For the Work is to reduce all other conceptions to these
> of Number, because thus thou wilt lay bare the very
> Structure of thy Mind, whose rule is Necessity rather
> than Prejudice. Not until the Universe is thus laid
> naked before thee canst thou truly anatomize it.

it is also orientalist in its grasping displacement
both Indian and Jewish in style.

> The Tendencies of thy Mind lie deeper far than any
> Thought, for they are the Conditions and the Laws
> of Thought; and it is these that thou must bring to Nought.

it is expression such as this which foments and urges
the aim of terminating conscious intellection. not only
is this futile, but it may self-disable and prepare the
blossoming esotericist with the necessary programming
to be fleeced at some future point in time.

gods pay tribute to other gods. it is only speciesism
which prevents their recognition of deific animals.

There is always collateral damage, whether in mark masons hall or the
local deli, slice that tomato wrong and you might lose a finger.

Thee truth be told we could sit here and wax and wain about theology all day
long, but in the end what does it actually prove?  How your magickal wand is
longer than someone elses?  The fact of the matter (I know, damn me, damn me
damn me for using facts...) is that this person believed in the curse,
therefore in his mind it has become a reality, therefore making it reality..

  The ex is better at the chaotic than norm, she actually called him to tell
him she put a hoodoo on him, this causes psychosmatic issues as well. More
so concreating the idea that this is infact true.

Would it work? Well, without a question, yes, simply because the person that
it was placed upon believed it might, proven by the fact that he was worried
about it enough to actually post the question in usenet.

Thee Simple truth is that if you do not believe it will work, it won't, it
comes down to a battle of wills, and whom ever's will is stronger is going
to win...
