The Magician

So many magicians, so little time!

Merlin, Gandalf, Obi Wan Kenobi, Mickey Mouse, Harry Potter....

The Magician represents a focused individual who uses the power of creativity, with imagination, willpower and determination. He reminds us that we already have everything we need to create the life we want for ourselves. We can accomplish anything if we keep focused on what our heart desires.

Walt Disney who believed in magic, faeries and wizards
made his staff say the following mantra every morning.
"My Imagination Creates My Reality."

Taoist Master of Longevity, Peaches & John Prine!

It is Peach Season!

The Taoist Master of Longevity holds a peach, a symbol for abundance and good health.

One of my favorite John Prine Songs is "Spanish Pipedream" which is about blowing up your tv and eating lots of peaches...
Don't you think that is probably is the key to longevity?

Spanish Pipedream (AKA Blow Up Your TV)
© John Prine

She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal
Well she pressed her chest against me
About the time the juke box broke
Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck
And these are the words she spoke

Chorus:
Blow up your TV throw away your paper
Go to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try an find Jesus on your own

Well, I sat there at the table and I acted real naive
For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve
Well, she danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo
Yeah she sang her song all night long, tellin' me what to do

Repeat chorus:

Well, I was young and hungry and about to leave that place
When just as I was leavin', well she looked me in the face
I said "You must know the answer."
"She said, "No but I'll give it a try."
And to this very day we've been livin' our way
And here is the reason why

We blew up our TV threw away our paper
Went to the country, built us a home
Had a lot of children, fed 'em on peaches
They all found Jesus on their own

If you like the John Prine lyrics I recommend that you blow up your tv and order a few cds before peach season is over.

Happy Summer Solstice!

Happy Summer Solstice.

This is celebrated as a time of new beginnings and life-enriching endings. On this day the sun reaches it's peak of power and begins the season of shorter days that eventually bring with them autumn's chills.

Celebrate the Sun while it is here! Winter will be upon us before we know it.

Happy Summer from Planet Calamari!

Where else can you learn if Karl Rove is indicted..... or Not? ...or maybe? Do you think the MSM will tell you if a house from a Blue State is dropped on Ann Coulter? Or if aliens are running the show in Washington? Don't let the internet be taken over by the Dark Side.
Calling all Cyber-Jedis. It is time to take action. May the Force be with you.

Sister Mary Calamari Patron of Starving Artists, Nerds and Geeks

On June 4, 1960 Our Lady of Perpetual Squids appeared to Sister Mary Calamari. Promising hence forth, that all artists, nerds and geeks would be respected and honored, as well as paid more than the lawyers on the planet.

She is now the patron of all starving artists, computer nerds and geeks. Each year on Planet Calamari this holy day is celebrated with a lavish procession and the Squid Gospel Choir singing the traditional hymn, Ave Sepia.

May Our Lady of Perpetual Squids bless you with an abundance of art and nerdy friends that know how to navigate a computer. Amen
