Shoctober moon

Aaaaah... Can you feel it? Change my friends...change. I love this time of year. It's cool crispness, it's smells, it's colors... It's spirits. Even the fashion is better.

As we get closer to Samhain, I become uplifted... Stronger than I've been for months. For the first time since the near completion of "Darkside", I've gotten off my ass to schedule a weekend of recording. I'm starting a 2 day pilgrimage to the studio to try and whip out "Consecrate, anthem of the athame". Fitting to begin it during this most mystic of months as it's a song that I would hope, could become the very theme song for the occult world.

During this time of year, I seem to recharge. I think I write my homage to Shoctober, regaling in it's spooky air, getting in touch with the netherworld. It's more like New Year's to me. I almost make resolutions and promises. I feel I need to commit to being a better friend to my closest confidants, to try and uphold my commitment and dedication to my mission to help the world reach it's contentment in bringing it to embrace the darkness it hides from and to make the Darklords proud as I forge on through my infernal mission, reaffirming my spirituality.

I'm in the twelfth hour of my mission. I cannot falter of fail. It's really a "do or die" situation. An old adage from "The Empire Strikes Back" (a great metaphysical training movie, I always thought) came from Yoda: "Try not...DO or do not. There is no try". Well as metaphors go, I suppose I need to go to my secret lair and don my costume as a Super Anti-hero and suit up to get to work. I also need to finish my tomes. Honorable mention to Lillith on the Dark Forums, for sparking excellent debate and inquiry on the roots and direction of the Epican philosophy in "Epican Way". Someone out there is starting to actually get it! This gives me hope that I truly am not alone in my thoughts and philosophy. As I could physically touch one person, I am fueled to touch so many more.

So here's to you, Shoctober... Let's kick some ass!
