Part 2 of the fictional history written in last weeks entry. While last weeks, and this weeks “history” may or may not take liberties in the telling of the story, I would like to say that it is absolutely true that Steve Jobs, may he rest in peace, ate LSD for a time and is quoted as saying it was, “one of the two or three most important things [he had] done in [his] life.”
The Craft: Part II
Since nature, in her infinite wisdom, had placed the burden of children upon the gender of humanity known as “women,” it was here that the greatest power of humanity lay. And so, whence binding themselves to the nature of “eyes closed,” the worshipers of said principal began working immediately to stifle the power of woman-kind to stand in the way of darkness reapers’ desires to play with minds as though they were marionette puppets.
Once the confusion in primitive war was sewn through the spells cast by words of lies, the first illusions of showing women as otherwise than people was cast. These primitive spells made women to be cattle in the eyes of men, and the same weak minds that succumbed to the words of war began to regard their sisters, mothers, wives, and daughters accordingly.
When the initial confusion was sewn into the minds of the non-magic using men several millennia ago, the women wizards went into hiding knowing what society was becoming in relation to them. In those early days the women wizards were only known amongst the practicing wizardry of light as simply “wizards” because there was no need to designate them as “of light;” no woman in those days could be seduced by shadow magic, they were naturally much too strong and clear-minded. And then shadow-slaves worked to enslave what couldn’t be enslaved by enslaving that which could.
And so, together, men and women of the light sought to counter and dispell the evils being written upon the land. The young orphan boys and girls were taken in to be taught the secret ways of words of light in the times the darkness conjurors had sewn confusion into men’s minds and created society to regard women as cows. The young ones were taught the ways of wizardry to practice and pass on to their young. During this time it was often that the widows of the victims of war were approached to harness the fullness of their power’s potential.
Many of the older women recruited were past the age that it was easiest to teach the ways of words and how the foreign symbols wove together to cast spells for the benefit of those touched in eye or ear by them. These women were given the knowledge in place of words that they could retain; and so were created the educated ones in ways of nature’s gifts of flora and conscious life known as “midwives.”
In retaliation to the attempt to undo their spell, the darkness weavers used one of the religions under their direct control to sew the next most powerful spell casting of the-illusion-of-women-as-not-people since the spell they had cast so many centuries before making women look like cattle in the eyes of weak-minded men. This time they conjured a great spell known as the-opposite-of-the-truth-as-truth to dehumanize women in the thoughts of weak-minded people so that women would be regarded as a concoction of the non-existence thought up as a monster called “witch” that they attributed to a non-existent master that would have ruled over their own spells had such a weak fantasy ever existed in any measure in the real world. So it was these “servants of Devil” who had helped to bring life safely into the world for so long were hunted and tortured to death by the church truly in the clutches of the conception of Satan concocted by the slaves of the darkness.
Once again the women who cast of the light were driven to deepest secrecy. But, the intrinsic light in man rebelled even as their minds were enslaved. As the invention known as “vibrator” was thought into creation with the help of a non-magic using male who had not the mind to fathom the truth of words and wizardry, so was a powerful spell of light working its way into the medical science that the wielders of the blessed scepters had been casting into existence for as long as injury was to be treated. And so, as industrialized health was innovating a new therapy for the last remnants of the previous dehumanizing-spell penned as “hysteria,” an awakening toward the natural inclination to see women as people ushered in the transition from the industrial age to the modern one. As innovation and liberation were shaping the fabric of modern society, the wielders of dark words had difficulty casting any spell craftier than the basest wages of war, which they did become quite proficient at in time of newer innovations.
Since spreading the hysteria necessary for waging war was all the magic they could muster, if they could not control people, those of the dark ages did all they could to sew chaos upon the entirety of the world. Shortly after the first world war the darkness worshipers remembered ancient spells for causing divisions through the bargaining engine for trade people utilized regularly. They then used the economic hardships of the time to spurn further aggression and hatred wherever they could. It was not long before a second world war had been cast by praying upon a self-hating artist and using him against his people who had been left in pain after the previous war of the world. It was during this time that the darkness weavers learned a full mastery in spells of illusion to keep people blind and controllable to grimmest ends. Many bringers of light lost their lives in service to crafting words to suppress the pain contorted into the minds of so many by those who were worshipers of darkest dust.
Through all the wars sewn they had tried, failingly, to ever recapture the fullness of a spell to create the illusion of women otherwise than people. They held no success until shortly after the second great war when society had attempted to create artificial roles of men and women in order to bring order where so recently they had been disoriented and suffered by such great chaos. The artificial nature of society was the perfect climate in which to sew a new spell, but that opportunity was cut short when, in their haste to create a new war of magnitude they turned to new chemical mind-control spells, and they immediately proliferated a potion which worked so counter to their own aims that they facilitated the creation of the great library of light rather than cast the ignorance they needed to create a world in their control. What remained after the potion’s work had been done was the singular seed that would give rise to the third great spell innovated that women be perceived as otherwise than people. This latest spell, however had barely half the efficacy of the past put in place, and, ultimately served only to solidify and make permanent the interconnected knowledge woven together for the benefit of all minds by those whose words spoke light.
While the first spell reduced women to beasts of trade, and the slaves and instruments of demons in the second, this one created the illusion that women were nothing but toys to be consumed and discarded as the rest of the material bought and sold in the modern society. And so the great web of knowledge was bombarded with women selling themselves to distract men from creating usefulness for the rest of the society in which they lived, and that women be regarded not as people, but as only playthings to be discarded when they were found to be boring and not as interesting as the newest merely a thought and brief gesture away, just as easily as obtainable and worthy as the last.
And so it was in the modern age that the battle was waged over the creation of all knowledge between those who would bring light to show the world as it was, and those who would bend light into the shadows to distract the people to ripping themselves apart that they may enjoy themselves by the people sharing in the same suffering that they had chosen for themselves . . .
