Since my Halloween post was denied by the database goblins here's my late entry.

“Will you walk into my parlour?” said the Spider to the Fly, “‘Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy; The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, And I have many curious things to shew when you are there.” “Oh no, no,” said the little Fly, “to ask me is in vain, For who goes up your winding stair can ne’er come down again.”
- “The Spider and the Fly: A Fable” (1829) by Mary Howitt (1799–1888)








Orson Welles in BLACK MAGIC (1949) / Black Magic by Michael A. Aquino / The Sorceress / The Dark Lords...



"True black magic is performed with the aid of a demoniacal spirit, who serves the sorcerer for the length of his earthly life, with the understanding that after death the magician shall become the servant of his own demon. For this reason, a black magician will go to inconceivable ends to prolong his physical life, since there is nothing for him beyond the grave."
- Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings Of All Ages



"And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: ‘Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children’...And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments...And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants...who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind...and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones." – (Book of Enoch)

Elizabeth was not yet queen when, at the age of 25, the princess first met an American president. Harry Truman and his wife Bess hosted Elizabeth and Prince Philip on a two-day visit to Washington D.C. Acting on behalf of her father King George VI, who was gravely ill at the time, Elizabeth gave Truman an ornate 18th-century ‘over mantle’ to hang above a fireplace in the White House, as Pathé newsreel from the time shows. The president said that, while he had received many guests in Washington, “never before have we had such a wonderful young couple, who have so completely captured the hearts of all of us.”

The title is a play on McLuhan's often-quoted phrase "The medium is the message." The book was initiated by Quentin Fiore. McLuhan adopted the term "massage" to denote the effect of numerous media in how they massage the human sensorium.

The FAQ section on the website maintained by McLuhan's estate says:

Why is the title of the book The Medium is the Massage and not The Medium is the Message?

Actually, the title was a mistake. When the book came back from the typesetter’s, it had on the cover “Massage” as it still does. The title was supposed to have read “The Medium is the Message” but the typesetter had made an error. When Marshall saw the typo he exclaimed, “Leave it alone! It’s great, and right on target!”

Now there are four possible readings for the last word of the title, all of them accurate: “Message” and “Mess Age,” “Massage” and “Mass Age.”

Sailors have dressed up in costumes for centuries as they celebrate line crossing ceremonies, most commonly as they cross the equator. Ceremonies often culminated in "Neptune parties" where crews dressed up as King Neptune and members of his court.
