MAENTWROG #37


                            TO CHRIST OUR LORD

How looks heaven now stung with brilliance, missing

   no minted gilded golden spoked wheel of fire, moted

of million-fold pointed pierced light eyelets singing

   where Michael by all that starry press is voted

most spiritual, principal, pre-eminent; a first-song

   to lesser breaking indivisible ray-notes, all save-

ing nor sparing crescendo of tiny flames heaven-long;

   never the blazing praise concluding the galactic octave!



   Lucifer is zealous in jealousy, self-smitten by pride;

  by his own heart wounded, his darkness must hide ---

         his stars now all the sand of earth.



         From my own dark grain let me birth

   my fallen star into a little light of mine;

  let me so shine, o Lord, to reflect thine!

[AH]ITEM AH09…MUSHROOMS AND FUNGI  by Moira Savonius SOLD

In South of Tuk #12, Kangaroo Poet Norm wrote an article about the sacred mushroom in the art of Norval Morrisseau.  In Issue #59, Kangaroo Poet JHM wrote an article about the experience of colour under hallucination, such hallucination made possible by LSD, peyote, and the sacred mushroom.  In Issue #135, Kangaroo Poet K’lakokum discussed the magic mushroom in Morrisseau’s Warrior Finds Soma [24x 34n, 1979, catalogue raisonne number muaa]

The amanita muscaria which is believed to be the sacred or magic mushroom is described on pages 32 to 34 of this book.  It is used by the shaman to enter The House of Invention.  From the 9th to 13th century in Europe, it was widely believed that what Eve ate was not an apple, but the sacred mushroom.  This may have started as a Catholic device to keep people away from a consciousness-raising substance.  The Aztecs [who used it in their spiritual rituals] called it nanacatyl.  This book has 104 colour illustrations depicting the entire world of mushrooms and fungi. 1973 hardcover ISBN 0706401913 published by Octopus Books Limited London W1, printed by Mandarin Publishers Ltd. Hong Kong

[AH,]ITEM AH60...THE MANITOUS: SPIRITUAL WORLD OF THE OJIBWAY Basil Johnston $29

Spiritual tales, tribal teachings, and native legends are evocatively interwoven through the time-honoured oral tradition of the Ojibway.   Manitous are mysteries and spirits – the essences – that infuse and safeguard plants and animals, including humans, in all aspects of life.  These tales about them are simple in narration but complex in spirit, rich with incident and detail.  Here are tricksters, tree spirits, wise grandmothers, and seductive maidens.  Here we meet fearsome Windigos, the half-human half Manitou creatures who represent both of their worlds to the other side.  Here we find The Prophecy of changes in the world to come.  Most of these stories have never previously been written down.

ITEM YD85…THE QUEST FOR THE TRUE CROSS Thiede & d’Ancona $6

By focusing on the fragment of the Titulus Crucis, the inscribed headboard from Christ's cross, the authors challenge the modern view that all supposedly holy relics are fakes by providing evidence that weaves together history, archaeology, myth, religion, and science, taking readers on a fascinating tour through the ancient world that might change their beliefs forever. Thiede and d'Ancona argue that the Santa Croce titulus--a fragment of the cross headboard that mockingly proclaimed Jesus the King of the Jews--is the genuine article.

MANUSCRIPT NOTES OR RESEARCH:

QUOTABLE QUOTES:

0592...English historian, Fraser-Tyler:  “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always vote for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage."

0615...Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774_1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764

0616... “Government is not reason; it is not eloquence.  It is force.  And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”—George Washington
