Man arrested with roasted human foetuses for use in black magic ritual:

Vor einem Jahr haben sie einen Mann festgenommen, der geröstete menschliche Föten in einem Koffer mit sich rumtrug, die für ein okkultes Ritual vorgesehen waren: Briton arrested with roasted human foetuses for use in black magic ritual: „A British man has been arrested in Thailand after being found with six foetuses that had been roasted and covered in gold leaf as part of a black magic spirit ritual.“

Sex-Ghosts and Mummies with big Dicks

Tolles Interview mit Paul Koudounaris über sizilianische Sex-Geister und Mumien mit großen Penissen. Yep. Über Koudounaris und dessen Buch „Empire of Death“ hatte ich hier schon ein paar mal gebloggt: The Empire of Death: A Cultural History of Charnel Houses und The Midnight Archive Ep.6: The Empire of Death.

One of the more outlandish stories is about a guy who got to be called “pene grande,” which means “big dick.” He was a mummy famed in life for having a big penis. People would go down to the Palermo Catacombs and treat him as the patron saint of big cocks. Finally a newlywed woman came to see him because she was married to a guy who was not well-endowed. She took a cloth and rubbed it on the mummy’s dick, and then rubbed it on her husband’s dick. The next time she had sex with her husband, his penis seemed larger and fuller and she was about to orgasm except that at that moment she looked up and saw it was actually the ghost on top of her. Everyone thought she was crazy, but then it happened again the next time she had sex. They had to set up an exorcism for this ghost.

How does one expel a penis ghost?
They had a blacksmith make a tight-fitting sheath made of metal, and once the husband got erect the ghost came out and got caught in the codpiece. They threw holy water at him.

Then what?
That expelled the ghost from the guy’s body. So forever he had a small penis, but he was free of the ghost. As for the ghost, he gained a great following among older ladies, and eventually so many were coming to see him that they had to lock the mummy in a back room, which is where he remains to this day.

Hexenhammer Flowchart

Wie man der Bestrafung für Hexerei entgehen kann, ein Flowchart nach Heinrich Kramers Malleus Maleficarum, dem Hexenhammer. Stammt aus Laphams Quarterlys „Magic Show“-Heft, wovon einige Artikel auch online zu lesen sind (die roten Links, wenn ich mich nicht irre). (via Dangerous Minds)

Berlusconis Psychic predicts the Future

Vice hat ein tolles Interview mit Teodora Stefanova, der Wahrsagerin von Silvio Berlusconi. Teodora empfängt Stimmen eines gewissen Unilson vom Planeten Vanfim, der ihr etwas von einer allgegenwärtigen kosmischen Macht erzählt hat, wahrscheinlich mit den Sätzen „Es ist ein Energiefeld, das alle lebenden Dinge erzeugen. Es umgibt uns, es durchdringt uns. Es hält die Galaxis zusammen.“ Die erzählt natürlich ausschließlich Bullshit, aber extrem lustigen und superunterhaltsamen Bullshit! Die Dame fährt wirklich alle Geschütze auf, die Wiedereinführung der D-Mark und Wasserknappheit sind da noch die zahmsten Vorhersagen: Atomkriege, Asteroiden, die Ankunft von ‘nem neuen Jesus, Vulkanos, Kristallkinder, alles da. Und ja, auf dem Bild hält sie eine E.T.-Figur in der Hand. Hilarious!

America will clash with Iran in an Israel-inspired conflict. Chemical and nuclear war will start from there.

Oh, man, this doesn’t sound good. Iranians can be a tad extreme.
This is inevitable, and so is the war. Parts of the ocean will be poisoned, the air too, and some of the crops, and not only in Iran but in many parts of the planet. We’ll stop buying certain fruits and vegetables because they will be poisoned. Sea animals will start dying for no visible reason. Countries will become self-encapsulated. Those that have freshwater will not share it; those that have oil will keep it to themselves. Another thing: There will be some problems caused by an asteroid that will trigger a number of disasters like the one that hit Japan recently. France will suffer; I see a nuclear accident at one of its power plants. There will be a serious blackout.

Do you mean volcanic ash will block the sun, or will it be more of a massive power outage?
Volcanoes. This will be the result of the asteroid, which will not obliterate the entire earth but will very seriously affect it.

Occult NYC Walking Tour

(Youtube Direktghosts, thanx Ronni!)

Ronni vom Midnight Archive schreibt mir: „We are excited to announce the second episode of The Midnight Archive series – now available at www.themidnightarchive.com – this week Mitch Horowitz who give the Brooklyn Observatory’s Occult NYC Walking tour shows us some of the finer points of living in this fine city.“

The master or all things intriguing, Mitch Horowitz, takes us on a virtual tour of a city not very often associated with the Occult historically: my home town, New York City. Mitch is among many other fantastic things, the author of Occult America. In this tour we learn about our old time New York pals talking to spirits, channeling the dead and getting in touch with our ascended masters.

Vintage Voodoo-Party vs. Hitler

Im Januar 1941 haben sich ein paar Irre in einer einsamen Hütte in den Wäldern von Maryland zu einer Party getroffen, auf der sie Hitler umbringen wollten. Mit Voodoo. Im Bild links sticht eine Dame namens Ruth Davis einer Hitler-Puppe die Augen aus: „Nails in eyes induce insomnia,“ LIFE reported. „As she jabs, Ruth Davis croons: ‘Burn Hitler’s eyes! Keep them open night and day! Kill his rest!’“

“On the wet windy evening of January 22, a youthful band of idealists went to a lonely cabin in the Maryland woods.” Thus begins one of the odder stories LIFE magazine ever published — a straightforward, tongue-nowhere-near-cheek account of a 1941 “hex party” convened with one aim in mind: “to kill Adolf Hitler by voodoo incantation.” According to LIFE, the party featured “a dressmaker’s dummy, a Nazi uniform, nails, axes, tom-toms and plenty of Jamaica rum,” and was inspired by a book by occultist and writer William Seabrook that was popular at the time: Witchcraft: Its Power in the World Today.

Abteilung Pre-Crime, das hier nennt man wohl eine sich selbst erfüllende Prophezeihung: „A man was jailed by a Kemerovo region court on Thursday for assaulting a Gypsy fortune teller who predicted that he would be jailed, the Investigative Committee said.“ (via Boing Boing)
