Opening Statement

This is a blog related to my pagan practice. 

The only direct politics here will be via posts about conservation and various gay/trans things. If you want a pagan/occult view on sociopolitical issues, this is Tumblr -- you should be able to find that without even trying. Anything of a potentially problematic nature is tagged under “my atlantis”, so block that ahead of time if you want to avoid it. I recommend reviewing my tag guide so that you can decide what else to block, if anything.

By following my blog, you are likely to see a whole lot of naked or nearly-naked people, as well as sexual situations. Pan is a god of fertility and is in the train of Dionysus, so this is pretty much a given.

“hbo sam” what is that. what do you mean hbo sam. he literally drank demon blood and had horny demon blood sex with his demon girlfriend on the television screen. you think he’s not hbo sam because he’s on the cw well that is your mistake. moving supernatural to hbo would only bring everyone else’s insanity up to sams level. show some respect

this. dean makes bonkers choices and decisions but they are clearly because of the absolutely fucked up cocktail of neuroses that bangs about in his head and it makes you go Wow that guy has obviously seen some shit to think that’s a good idea. whereas sam is like so nonplussed and accepting of doing fucked up shit with barely any justification other than “yeah ok” that you go oh something is Wrong with him. he’s so awesome

Richard Deacon’s balding visage is probably familiar to Boomers. He played Lumpy’s dad in Leave It to Beaver (1957-1963) and Mel Cooley, the grumpy producer of the show within the show, on the Dick Van Dyke series (1961-1966). He also played various prissy, and imperious figures on TV throughout the 1960s to the 1980s in show such as The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour, the Twilight Zone, Green Acres, and the Addams Family.

Deacon himself described his TV persona as:

"As a straight man, I'm hired for my buttoned-down quality. I'm nearly always an executive of some sort, in suit and tie, and somebody always pricks my bubble of dignity. I've been called every adjective - smug, lugubrious, unctuous, bland, you name it.”

Some would be surprised to learn that Deacon was also a gourmet chef. He wrote several cookbooks and hosted a cooking show on Canadian TV.

Everyone would be surprised that Richard Deacon was Gay. In his later years Deacon was asked if he thought the public guessed he was gay. He replied:

“No, not even gays. Most would be surprised… a serious (unsmiling) guy in a suit isn't how people think of gay men.”

He added:

"I'm nearly the exact opposite of a Paul Lynde."

Except for his close personal friends, Deacon said he didn’t think anyone within the film industry knew that he was gay.

Deacon passed away in 1984 due to a heart attack.

And ☆ for Ben Fischer?

A sigh of relief from Ben because he is soft and sad andtired and deserves to have some happiness in his godforsaken life...

Ben’s spent a very long time running from becoming a mediumor having anything to do with ghosts or the dead because they’ve dominated hislife so much and brought him nothing but pain. But as nice as it would be for him to just retire to some farm out inthe middle of nowhere (one of his favorite menial jobs he’s ever taken wasworking for a sheep farm in Cornwall, and he loves fostering animals), he stillfeels compelled to help people in need. The only good that came out of being a medium for him was helping peoplemove on past their traumas… and wouldn’t it be so much more valuable to do thatwith the living than with the already dead? So he’s strongly considered becoming some kind of grief counsellor tohelp others who are suffering, and since he’d never gotten the chance to get acollege education before, he feels like that would be the best way he could finallyget one.  If he’s going to have a diplomain a box in his closet, he’s going to damn well put it to the kindest use hecan think of.
