Aleister Crowley played by Oliver Reed
Ken (The Devils) Russell has written a play for Radio 3
to be broadcast on 18th June at 7.30pm.
It concerns a mythical meeting between Aleister Crowley and
the composer Alexander Scriabin. Judging by Ken Russell's
comments on Radio Four, it will be a bit shock horror black magick,
but should be fun.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Quest
Some members of OGDOS are participating in a film about magick
commissioned for Channel Four and due for broadcast in October.
If anyone fancies coming along, be at West Kennet Long Barrow on
17th June, 9am. If you know the Hymn to Pan, might be an advantage.

Mother Shipton's (1488-1561) Prophecies
(Submitted by AM Lawrence; quoted from Nexus, Mar '95)
Comment: Mother Shipton's prophecies are here shown both
as a point of information and interest.
Though fewer than Nostradamus' prophecies in number,
I think she has had a higher hit rate - most of them have occurred already,
but those remaining, most of which are for the future,
seem quite apocalyptic.
They are also much clearer than Nostradamus:
she did not seem as worried in getting caught,
thinking she would be burnt at the stake,
as evidenced by one of the stanzas.
This is one of the obviously incorrect prophecies,
because she died of natural causes.
The following are some of the stanzas
which seem to have been unfulfilled,
or seem to have application to the present
or the relatively near future.
As you can see, even extraterrestials are mentioned!
There'll be a sign for all to see
Be sure that it will certain be.
Then love shall die and marriage cease
And nations wane as babes decrease.
And wives shall fondle cats and dogs
And men live much the same as hogs.
When pictures seem alive with movements free
When boats like fishes swim beneath the sea
When men like birds shall scour the sky
Then half the world, deep drenched in blood shall die.
For those who live the century through
In fear and trembling this shall do.
Flee to the mountains and the dens
To bog and forest and wild fens.
For storms will rage and oceans roar
When Gabriel stands on sea and shore
And as he blows his wondrous horn
Old worlds die and new be born.
A fiery Dragon will cross the sky
Six times before this Earth shall die
Mankind will tremble and frightened be
For the sixth heralds this prophecy.
For seven days and seven nights
Man will watch this awesome sight.
The tides will rise beyond their ken
To bite away the shores, and then
The mountains will begin to roar
And earthquakes split the plain to shore.
And flooding waters, rushing in
Will flood the lands with such a din
That mankind cowers in muddy fen
And snarls about his fellow men.
He bares his teeth and fights and kills
And secrets food in secret hills
And ugly in his fear, he lies
To kill marauders, thieves and spies.
Man flees in terror from the floods
And kills, and rapes and lies in blood
And spilling blood by mankind's hands
Will stain and bitter many lands.
And when the Dragon's tail is gone
Man forgets, and smiles, and carries on
To apply himself-too late, too late
For mankind has earned deserved fate.
His masked smile, his false gradeur
Will serve the Gods their anger stir.
And they will send the Dragon back
To light the sky-his tail will crack
Upon the Earth and rend the Earth
And man shall flee, King, Lord and serf.
But slowly they are routed out
To seek diminishing water spout
And men will die of thirst before
The oceams rise to mount the shore.
And lands will crack and rend anew
You think it strange. It will come true.
And in some far-off distant land
Some men-oh such a tiny band
Will have to leave their solid mount
And span the Earth, those few to count
Who survives this [unreadable] and then
Begin the human race again.
But not on land already there
But on ocean beds, stark, dry and bare.
Not every soul on Earth will die
As the Dragon's tail goes sweeping by.
Not every land on Earth will sink
But these will wallow in stench and stink
Of rotting bodies of beast and man
Of vegetation crisped on land.
But the land that rises from the sea
Will be dry and clean and soft and free
Of mankind's dirt and therefore be
The source of man's new destiny.
And those that live will ever fear
The Dragon's tail for many year
But time erases memory
You think it strange. But it will be.
And before the race is built anew
A silver serpent comes to view
And spew out men of like unknown
To mingle with the Earth now grown
Cold from its heat, and these men can
Enlighten the minds of future man
To intermingle and show them how
To live and love and thus endow
The children with the second sight.
A natural thing so that they might
Grow graceful, humble and when they do
The Golden Age will start anew.
The Dragon's tail is but a sign
For mankind's fall and man's decline.
And before this prophecy is done
I shall be burned at the stake, at one
My body singed and my soul set free
You think I utter blasphemy
You're wrong. These things have come to me
This prophecy will come to be.
The following were found on a scroll in a separate jar, written at about the same time as the
verses above.
Yet greater sign there be to see; As man nears latter century.
Three sleeping mountains gather breath; And spew out mud, and ice and death.
And earthquakes swallow town and town; In lands as yet to me unknown.
And Christian one fights Christian two; And nations sigh, yet nothing do
And yellow men great power gain; From mighty bear with whom they've lain.
These mighty tyrants will fail to do; They fail to split the world in two.
But from their acts a danger bred; An ague, leaving many dead.
And physics find no remedy; For this is worse than leprosy.
Oh many signs for all to see: The truth of this true prophecy.
