Sand, Water, and Spirit
- Sand, Water, and Spirit -
Across the sands, the whispering of a thousand lifetimes...
I hear the voices calling from the places no ear has heard,
And in the waters that lie hidden, I see the tapestry of the past.
How can I speak of what I have seen, so it can be conferred?
The tapestry of things that flow from the first of all, unto the last.
Only to begin anew, with the ringing of profound celestial chimes!
Across the ages, the knowing of futures without limitation...
Every possibility my eyes have glimpsed, but only one to be;
For...

How Wicca Led Me to Islam and Redemption: Part Two
- How Wicca Led Me to Islam and Redemption: Part Two -
At the end of my long life as Ishtar, when I was still going by the name of Ereshkigal, I retired from ruling over Kurnugia and left it in the care of Nergal whilst I went away to live with Lilith in her home by the shores of the Red Sea. Many times, the Anunnaki sent messengers to myself and to Lilith to get us to come back to them and every time we refused to do so. Eventually, despite my body being pretty much the latest model synthetic android designed to last for thousands of years... wear and tear, and a general lack of...

How Wicca Led Me to Islam and Redemption: Part One
- How Wicca Led Me to Islam and Redemption: Part One -
This is a work explaining how it was that I came to Islam from having been a Wiccan previously, and how it does not contradict... but rather enhances and expands upon... all of my previous beliefs. Likely, the best place to begin with, should always be the origination of things. And, for me, the start of all my spiritual undertakings was the year 1991, when I was seventeen years old. The year previous, sometime after the death of my first love Andrea, I was contacted by a girl named Lilith who physically was, to so look at...

Chapter 13 Inner Struggle in the Church Pew
Chapter 13 Inner Struggle in the Church Pew
“When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures…” Galatians 5:19
As Brittney heard the scripture read, she felt a whirlwind of shock, guilt, and fear. As the pastor continued, she couldn't shake the feeling that the message was directed straight at her, exposing her deepest secrets and desires for all to see.
The mention of "sinful nature" and the consequences of following it sent a flush of embarrassment creeping up her...

Double Cross
Disturb my fragile sensibility
Disrupt the expectations of my wanting
When I chase temporal things to a fault
I fall pray in my humility to the Holy Ghost haunting
Answering the warning signs with replies of faith imbued by the call
What if there is something to it
When we dismiss the claims for broken records on repeat
Discerning truth amid the chaos of another’s source of vain conceit
The word is alive and I’m dead to rights
When I live subject to something divine
Shadows cast of unseen lights
The end doesn’t answer to my...

Speak your narrative
Following in patterns of sensationalized sign language
Make it say what you want it to
When everybody’s sky is falling
Seasons of our relative apocalyptic delusions
I won’t doubt a wonder but I’ll call it what it is
Stretch the facts into the mold of what you want to see
What speaks to you may not say a word to me
But it’s “your truth”, it’s your cypher, it’s your “prophecy”
Loose translations, contorted interpretations
Twist the words just right to harbor the impact
Looking for incidental events ...

Chapter 7 Time for Reflection
Chapter 7 Time for Reflection
“All people are like grass, and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall."
Brittney remembered the scripture reference included with the note her mother gave her with a silver cross. She'd been puzzled by it but now thought it must have predicted her conversation with David about death that would occur 9 years after she received her mother's cross.
May the flowers of your faithfulness color your world.

Christ the Gardner
Ever since my accident
I had Jesus Christ (JC) become my Gardner
he's a slaphappy messiah
all he wants in life is kool-aid, scratch-offs and cigarettes
oh and he enjoys calling up Lucifer (Satan) to meet him at the bowling alley
the priests throughout the neighborhood dislike him
probably because he don't follow all the rules and guidelines,
that are scripted in that fictional book called the Bible
none of the nuns don't like his message (nuns have no fun)
those wrinkled up penguins
flock to my home to get a glimpse of him

Cancelled From Birth
The Devil stayed on me-so I turned out pretty bad
Punk-bitch old man was never around-so the evil within I just called dad,
“Every time mom dragged me to church I got crazy mad
That’s why every Sunday before and after church she was beating my ass,
“Because my attitude towards religion could be considered a sin
So, Brimstone Boulevard will be my final destination in the motherfuckin end,
“The bullshit lies she told, everyone thought I was possessed in the head
And her fucked up stories from the start was graveyard dead,

He Is Exalted (Joseph)
How in the world this.. this lying.. God please forgive me, but she is pregnant and talking about she does not know how
Nine months and I am gonna see her on Maury Povich show talking about I’m gonna be a father now
I know I had too many drinks and my conscious was all up in flight
On the ballroom dance floor, I remember holding her curvy body real tight
And she was smelling good, stunning looking, kinda fly, and she was my Nubian Queen, hell, we that owned that night
Got my friends laughing at me that my wife was creeping around
And I...

Wrong and right .
Her life is a constant dance between what she feels is wrong and right. She’s been a Catholic most of her life distanced and not totally agreeing with the mighty controversy of the guilt of receiving involved in believing. Would God really be this demanding? Would he ask you to enter a conflict that starts in absolutes that leads to conflict then hate that pick fights armed with guns carried by anger and explodes the vulnerable who didn’t speak but where told?
This is the righteous path without a whisper of replies or hope that love is truly the undertone? Dictatorship’s which rip out...

Filthy Rags
Divided in the terms
Who is the audience or the subject
When everyone is just as innocent as they are guilty
Interrogations, who is the detective and who is the suspect
When it’s in the fine lines filed down between discernment and the will to accuse
Our assumptions more truly rendered of ourselves then the ones we abuse
Self serving on opposite ends of the spectrum of a tainted point of view
Confronting the devil you think you see in someone else that more truly resembles the devil in you
Con on the will of this philanthropy, the...
