This books is about semiotics and Magic. It's central premise is that Magic is communicative. Words have meanings that are both universal and personal. There are different types of language games: an order or emphatic request; the response to a question; a warning or a password. Words signs and symbols are communicative. And by strengthen your connection and understanding, you magnify the efficacy of your Magical Spell or ritual. A Grimoire is a book of Magical Spells. It literally translates into grammar. So Grammar and Spells are a fundamental component of Magical Workings.

ProfD Sure we could. We choose not to abort (proverbially) or drop squad them. We are so loving & forgiving & don't snitch, etc. I don't think it's a matter of them being so "loving" or "forgiving" as much as many of our people are just so selfish and short sighted that as long as whatever foolishness going on in the neighborhood doesn't affect them PERSONALLY...they don't care. But some of those "loving and forgiving" people will kill somebody over $10 if THEY get cheated. They don't care about the community or who sold who out, they only care about getting THEIRS....and THEY'D sell out if given the opportunity. …

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5728848-wes-moore-trump-white-house/ MD Governor Wes Moore, the only sitting Black Governor in the USA, wasn't invited to the White House for dinner with the nation's Governors. Governor Moore recently became leader of the National Governors Association. Of course, nothing should be a surprise under the current 🤡 🎪 administration. Seems POTUS OJ & his car full of sycophants are boldly showing their racist colors every week. It's going to ramp up.😎

More Coded Black History: What Is A FRENCH HORN!? Part II Again, I combined two concepts in one term 'French Horn' to reveal ancient history about both terms; [1] a French horn and, [2] a French Whore. Today in the Urban dictionary, this term 'French Horn' reveals a connection too, to the past and to the term 'French Whore', however, because of its complete disrespectful nature in regards to the hurt that has come about due to human sacrifice, it will not be discussed from that perspective. In a recent episode of Columbo, All in A Game, written by the late Peter Falk, and that featured Faye Dunaway, who played the role of an older woman nam…

More Coded Black History: What Is A FRENCH HORN!? Part I I actually merged two very significant and distinct ancient and also, extremely historical terms together associated with Black African history. But nevertheless, the concept of 'a French Horn' also summarizes a major historical concept that bridges the past to the present instrument today known as the French Horn, in that the musical horns today stem from ancient people like the Jews and Israel of whom used animal horns to blow into for to signal the masses. But the prophets of Israel used this term a lot to explain the science and genetics of humanity in contrast and comparison to the 'horn' of…

The post was taken down 12 hours later. Of course, POTUS OJ supporters claim it was nothing. He claims it was a staffers mistake & that he didn't see video. No apology ha been offered to the Obamas. In a rare move, bootlick #1, Senator Tim Scott made a statement condemning the post. Supposedly, POTUS OJ called him to explain what happened. The post was taken down shortly afterwards. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries took to instagram with a profane message to POTUS…

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/05/trump-religious-right-republicans POTUS OJ spoke at the 2026 National Prayer Breakfast. He rambled on in his style for about 1 hour & 15 minutes. POTUS OJ mused about whether or not he'll make it into heaven. He doesn't believe he will but thinks he should because he's done a lot of good for people. Then, POTUS OJ goes on a 10-minute rant about the US military & bragged about its lethality. A National Prayer Breakfast is not the setting where people brag about their ability to kill others. Yet, while both parties were at the Breakfast, nobody in attendance s…

Sandra Bland spirit came - february 7th 1987 I heard a white man once say on television, the pbs newshour, that people who protest against law enforcement need to let law enforcement do their job. But, what is the penalty when law enforcement commits crimes, whether illegal or not? If being a law enforcer doesn't come with greater penalty when one breaks the law then how can law enforcers be expected to fear the law more? and if law enforcers don't fear the law more then is not their abuse of the law inevitable?

ICE showed in Minnesota to round up folks on the back end the fraud scandal that has dogged the state over several weeks. Unfortunately, a 37-year-old woman was fatally shot as her vehicle appeared to be heading towards an ICE officer. He pulled his weapon and fired into the driver side window. It was only a matter of time before someone either got seriously injured or killed as ICE runs around in cities rounding people up. What started as an immigration enforcement initiative is quickly becoming a weird game of bounty hunter. So far, neither DHS Secretary nor POTUS OJ has said the right thing in the aftermath of this traged…

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but if Bill Gates tried to secretly slip his wife drugs to treat her for an STD he contracted -- these billionaires are capable of anything. Now Bezos has more money than he knows what to do with, could eviscerating coverage of Trump, so that will make it possible for him to make more money, be his motivation. We know Bezos prevented the Washinton Posts editorial department from endorsing Kamala Harris -- despite saying he would keep his hands off the Post reporting and editorial...

https://www.npr.org/2026/01/27/g-s1-107625/ilhan-omar-sprayed-town-hall Some wacko sitting on the front row of a Town Hall in MN jumped up & sprayed Rep. Ilhan Omar with an unknown substance. The man was immediately tackled by security but if he had a firearm or some other weapon, the outcome could have been a lot different. The current political climate is highly charged. Politicians & public servants are talking reckless. Citizens are protesting & acting out. This 2-party political system is part of the problem in having people divided & choosing sides. Ridiculous.😎

https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/29/business/trump-sues-irs-for-usd10-billion POTUS OJ, the head of US government is suing the IRS for $10 billion dollars. The fed allegedly leaked his tax returns. Nevermind that POTUS OJ spent many years ducking & dodging release of his tax returns. Claimed his were more complicated than everybody else's. The fact is that POTUS OJ paid less than $1 thousand dollars in fededal taxes against a supposed worth of billions of dollars. Nonetheless, here is yet another grift by sitting POTUS OJ. It ties back to his grievance; revenge & retribution tour. The main thing is that POTUS…

....when you realized that fighting was primarily a young man's sport? I went back to Detroit yesterday to handle some family business and happened to see an old man squaring off with some young cats inside a cellphone store. They were grinning and trying to brush him off but he kept insisting for some beef. One of them turned around and braced himself and when the old dude threw a punch he simply stepped back to avoid it and the old man lost his balance, fell, and knocked over a display case in the store. Needless to say the younger dudes all had a laugh and I'm sure atleast one of them had a cell phone to record the incident as is often the cases…

Mathematician Gladys West dies at 95. She was a hidden figure behind GPS As a young girl in the Jim Crow-era South, Gladys West passed the time counting fenceposts, dreaming of life beyond her family farm south of Richmond. Each day, she walked three miles to a segregated one-room schoolhouse with a leaky roof and a solitary, underpaid teacher. And each way, there and back, she counted the fenceposts along the road, discovering that she had an aptitude for numbers that would help her bridge the distance between poverty and opportunity, between a life working in the fields and a career helping society advance beyond its limits. Dr. West, who died Jan. 17 at 9…

ICE protesters showed up in a MN church. Unfortunately, the coverage focused on the handful of Black folks who were among them. FBA/AfroAmericans have been relatively silent on conflicts abroad and domestic issues of little to no concern for us. IMO, FBA/AfroAmericans are better served minding our own business in dealing with the issues of racism white supremacy that hurt, harm and affect us. The late Dick Gregory provided prophetic advice as it relates to how FBA/AfroAmericans should respond to these issues. Stay out of it.😎

Many say that Donald Trump's actions are unprecedented in the usa, or uncommon and yet, historians in the usa oppose this position. The question is simple, why do people in the usa claim things as unprecedented or uncommon in the usa when they have more precedence than many other things or at one time were more common than later actions?

If you pay close attention to Trump and the Republican rhetoric on immigration......you'll notice that they're starting to focus their aim and target BLACK immigrants like Haitians. At first it was ALL illegal immigrants. Then the focus was on Venezuelan immigrants. Now they are focusing their sights on Haitian immigrants and not distinguishing between the legal ones OR illegal ones. If you also notice...... Through out the years when Trump promised to deport millions of illegal immigrants, he didn't identify any nationality. He simply said "illegals" and left it at that. When asked for specifics on how he'd do it....he wouldn't give an answer. He'd b…

All of that talk and hyping up Trump so many Black folks were doing at his rallies and on social media; grinning and holding up signs and shit....and they're ALREADY giving LATINOS the credit for his win! In Michigan they're trying to say the Arabs in Deaborn (only a FRACTION Michigan's voting population compared to the Black vote) helped him win Michigan! Bullshit. I've seen news story after news story of them claiming the Latino vote is what helped Trump win the election and almost NOTHING is mentioned about the "Blacks for Trump" or the Black men who voted for him. I'm telling yall right now, the set up is coming...... What "set up"? 1. The plan t…

When you have so many black people who suggest such a grand business acumen or knowledge of playing the game, or suggest such great foresight plus intellect with their licenses and degrees from various places of education, why haven't said blacks been able to buy and produce great social media websites?

POTUS OJ in his rambling style was all over the place in his speech which contained his usual talking points. In his speech, POTUS OJ berated world leaders for being weak & unable to defend their own countries & totally dependent on the US for security. He also reminded them that they were not paying a fair share of the tab for their protection. POTUS OJ is coming off as straight gangsta in everything fr…
