Like a Prayer 2023 -- same edgelord Catholic/Eyes Wide Shut imagery 30 years later. 
At least she is consistent!

To her credit, Madonna co-wrote the song Like a Prayer that would become the title track on her Like a Prayer album in 1989.  The song launched her long, protracted, now-overcooked edgelord era, with a video featuring a controversial and sexualized black Jesus.  Madonna still uses the song and its fetishized Christ in her current schtick, which are three ring circuses of air-humping Satanic Illuminati imagery and seizure-inducing lights.  At its best, her voice is irritating and whiny.  Her songwriting is middle of the road -- she's not terrible, but she's no Max Martin.  The only things she ever had in abundance was sex and the exploitation of the outré.  As we speak, Madonna is being laughed at and pitied for her desperate antics and ratchet appearance -- if adrenochrome actually works to keep anyone young and fresh, then it would follow that she is not on it.


Dullsville stinky vanilla BDSM lite LOONG before 50 Shades.  But at least
she looked good in pictures back then!

By the time Madonna's book Sex came out in 1992, shock literature had nearly jumped the shark.  I worked as a shelver at the town library at the time and the librarians had to order dozens of copies, all of which stayed checked out with wait lists for most of a year.  The appeal of the book was greatly aided by the controversy surrounding it.  Sex was packaged in a way that was accessible to curious suburbanites and it wasn't graphic enough to be actual porn; nonetheless, it was banned by the same legions of Tipper Gore pearl clutchers who got warning labels stuck on 2 Live Crew and Beastie Boys CDs.  Getting banned, of course, was the best thing that could have possibly happened to Madonna's career.  In his book The Satanic Witch, Anton LaVey reminds aspiring seductresses that there is nothing so appealing as "that which was not meant to be seen".  Madonna was also in her early 30s at the time and at the peak of her physical beauty and stardom.  She wasn't exactly hard to look at; people wanted to see what she looked like naked and she showed them.

Sex and the Etheric

The etheric plane is the plane of life force.  I consider the etheric or energy plane one plane more subtle than smell: that is to say it rides right on top of the physical plane.  Lightning and electricity are etheric plane phenomena.  All beings, objects, and places are surrounded by their own unique etheric field, sometimes generally referred to as an aura.  Clairvoyants can see this aura -- personally I cannot see it as I am not clairvoyant.  Martial artists manipulate their own etheric force in order to defend themselves and to do cool tricks such as breaking chunks of wood.  Feng shui is the science of manipulating etheric flows via house orientation, furniture placement, and home decor.  Traditional Eastern medicine and Ayurveda both work mainly with the etheric plane.  Traditional Western medicine used to do that too, and back in the day it was called humoral medicine. 

The etheric exchange of sex, whether willing or unwilling, is one of the most powerful forces on Earth.  During sex, the etheric body expands and contracts, exchanging energy as the physical body exchanges fluids.  In intercourse, biological females find that their etheric body releases like a dam overflowing or a pressurized spigot losing pressure.  For biological men, the etheric body is pierced and the sensation is like a vacuum being filled or like eating when you are extremely hungry.  In our era of endemic etheric starvation, humans routinely become trapped by the allure of sexuality from cradle to grave, and this is unfortunate because though sex is neither inherently good nor bad, being obsessed with it is predictably negative.

Off With Their Heads!

If I was appointed Queen of the World, I would punish pedophiles with immediate death by decapitation upon being found guilty in a court of law.   The reason I believe pedophilia should be punished with such extreme severity and finality is primarily etheric.  Children have very strong etheric bodies.  All children, regardless of organs, are etherically male, which is to say they are physically female just as they are as fetuses.  The child's etheric body is shared by its parents (often just one parent, the mother) until it reaches the approximate age of seven, when the etheric body begins to separate and morph in order to make way for puberty a few years later.  If we put this in the context of Eastern etheric science, children possess yang or active principle life force in excess.  The elderly are the opposite: they are for the most part etheric females regardless of biological gender.  

Let's look at the child as etheric male and elder as etheric female in more detail:  Children are needy and selfish, existing in their own bubbles until they are socialized and taught to "play nice".  As etheric males, they love bright colors, noise, and the energy of the playroom.  They are exhausting and they are loud.  They are yang energy personified: constantly exploring, creating, and learning how defend themselves.  Astrally, children reverse sexes again and regardless of actual gender are astrally feminine.  Their imaginations are fertile, ripe, and easily influenced. 

The elderly, on the other hand, are yin energy personified.  Nursing homes and hospitals are scary because of their yin excess.  Dusty corners, decay, darkness, and a sense of going back to the dirt from whence you came are all horror movie tropes, synonymous with the old and dying.  Our civilization, which pathologically fears the yin influence, is also terrified of aging and death.  The old person becomes stuck in their ways or male on the astral plane, wanting to influence and not open to outside influence.  Though this may superficially sound like a bad thing, it can also be construed as "owning your s**t" as an old person.  The old crave the company of the young because they are deficient in yang energy.  The young need the old in order to contain and limit their yang energy.  

Returning to the idea of the child as sharing an etheric body with 1-2 of its parents until the approximate age of seven, we begin to understand why human children are so lost without good parents.  Even when the parent is not a genetic relative, such as my own case because I was adopted at ten days old, there is a profound etheric bond between a child and its parent or primary caregiver for the duration of the formative years.  

Pedophiles

Pedophilia is about physically, etherically, and astrally breaking a child into a consumable form for a temporary, addictive high off of its abundant yang energy.  The pedophile seeks to pop the child's protective bubble and steal its contents.  At its core, pedophilia is a pursuit of unearned wealth.  Once the egg is cracked, scrambled, and devoured, the pedophile finds him or herself addicted as pedophilia is a Wendigo that demands greater and greater sacrifice.  The New York Times conservatively estimates the sexual exploitation of children is a 20 billion dollar industry, but that number seems hopelessly naive and underestimated to me.  In absence of deeper human relationships, regular porn addicts become child porn addicts.  Some even get to the point where they want to turn fantasy into reality.  Lather, rinse, repeat: new addicts become new pedophiles and new pedophiles become old pedophiles.  


This poor girl.  I do not envy her.

Peak Perversion

When I was a child in the 70s, pop culture was deep into the chase of the puerile.  Jodie Foster starred in Taxi Driver as a child prostitute at age 12 in 1976.  Brooke Shields starred as a child prostitute in 1978's Pretty Baby.  Poor Brooke, however, was the subject of pornographic photo shoots and likely sexual abuse at the age of ten.  A casual Yandex search of Brooke Shields at age 10 reveals young Brooke in full makeup posing provocatively in a hot tub.  It is patently obvious that the plot of Pretty Baby wasn't just a fiction set in the Gilded Age for Brooke Shields.  

The aforementioned Madonna upped the ante in the 80s.  With every new release, we could all count on Madonna to bring sexy back before Justin Timberlake was out of grade school.  Most girls of my era confidently assert that Madonna and her "music" were their first initiation into being sexualized at a young age.  Before you think I am on some kind of Victorian high horse, keep in mind I was personally all for it and wanted to be sexy and sexualized at a young age, I just had no idea how to do it because I have always been a complete nerd.  Madonna was a welcome influence for me and plenty other Gen X women.  

The 90s were a turning point.  By time the Sex book made the rounds, every envelope had been pushed and children were routinely sexualized as a spectator sport: the 90s were the era of child beauty pageants and JonBenet Ramsey.  It's odder at this point to have a childhood that is free of being sexualized.  You really do have to live in a cave or at least some kind of media-free zone where normal internet and gaming is not allowed.  Millennials grew up knowing virtually no sexual limits where Gen X at least had a few -- it is no wonder Millennials embraced hook up culture.  


Sexxy Red

There are a couple of viral videos going around where two teachers respectively lament the educational state of their four and five year old students.  The children act up, do not listen, and their parents are uppity, entitled jerks who question the teacher rather than disciplining their progeny.  Apparently, these precocious little ones sing and twerk to songs by hip hop artist Sexxy Red.  The songs, if you can call them that, are Pound Town and Skee Yee.  Pound Town's lyrics drop the N word about eight times per sentence and go into graphic detail about anal and oral.  Skee Yee combines the N bomb with the F bomb and is mostly about anal.   Though the teachers ask how a group of little kids came to know such mature music and scratch their heads, consider that these kids have spent the last three years (ages 2-5) mostly locked indoors with iPads and the answer is clear: they sing and twerk what they have been brought up on.  They parrot what they know.

Hip Hop is a genre obsessed with displays of unearned wealth, especially etheric wealth.  Yang energy is to be amassed and displayed in the form of golden teeth, fancy cars, mammoth McMansions, and curvy young women. The envelope has been pushed to the breaking point as it has in all mainstream media.  There is no longer anything worth gawking at.  Hardcore porn is just an internet connection away.  Mainstream TV (not that anyone watches anymore) is cozy with the F bomb and nudity.  Cinemax has been soft porn since forever: we used to call it Skinemax back in the 1980s.  Of course five year olds are getting thrown under the bus: when all the boundaries are erased, little kids get thrown into the pit until the last child is consumed by the last demonic pedophile.  I am reminded of the plight of the Gelflings in Jim Henson's animatronic/puppetronic wonder The Dark Crystal. 

Truth be told, pedophilia is boring because at this point it has been done to death, often literally.  There is something very off about the whopping majority of alleged travelers to Epstein's Pedo Island -- it's as if it is a psychic stain that won't wash off.  Like a subtle but bad smell, you don't notice it until someone alerts you to it, but once you know, it's all you notice.  I used to enjoy movies and music by those people a great deal more before I knew about the allegations. 

Maybe I am just getting old, but I can no longer bring myself to care about the output of artists who deliberately try to shock or titillate with sexuality.  It's boring.  They can throw all of the five year olds under the bus and make Sesame Street into a full on drag show -- I'm done and I don't care.  Every time Madonna does her OK Boomer geriatric gyrations onstage, it makes me grateful I was shepherded down the path of earned wealth, modesty, relationships that are based on deeper things than looks or money, and cleaning my own damn toilet.

Amen!

Part of the disenchantment, I think, is also being in a long-term stable relationship where you're etherically connected in a healthy way. It's easy to sell a McDonald's burger to someone who is chronically undernourished. It's dang near impossible to sell one to someone who normally eats well, is aware of the connection between food and how they feel.

So... is it some sort of vampirism, you think?

I wonder how this shows up in folklore. I mean, it's hardly new, there had to be stories about it. Child-eating ogres? Wendigo as you say is a good candidate. In old Europe of course there were always jews to blame-- one does wonder how many real monsters found that a convenient cover.

This is extremely interesting. Could you consider writing more on the subject, and also broadly speaking on keeping the etheric self healthy? I would also be interested to know how to go about this if you are single. And that makes me think of all those incels who surely will explode even more violently than the lone shooter episodes we even have here in Europe now? I am a middle aged woman and have pretty much given up on trying to live with anyone other than animals but I am curious about the occult implications for both scenarios - voluntary female celibacy, involuntary young male celibacy. Do you think you may be interested in writing something/commenting?

The usual measures against vampires and similar monsters seem appropriate. It is high time the justice system was amended to allow (with overwhelming evidence at least) a stake through the heart and facedown burial at a crossroads. Maybe beheading as a precautionary measure?

And yeah, everything one reads about JE... that guy seemed seriously sick. It sort of begs the question how people end up that way. Born to it? Something happened in childhood? Possession? Made a bad deal with a malign entity? Like, what the heck happened?

Yeah, that does seem depressingly plausible, that if you were etherically 'harvested' and broken as a child, you could grow up into a vampire-type monster. If that is the case, perhaps the more interesting question is what happened with all the kids who *didn't* become monsters after being so used-- that seems like it'd be a useful thing to know, given how many victims are out there. The ones who get out-- what was different in their lives that helped?

I suppose if it is anything programmed, monarch-style, it also wouldn't be necessary for anybody to "suicide" them, as they can be induced to do it themselves. Handy, that.

Yeah, never cared for the music, but absolutely everything I've heard about her since her rather public break has been so... sad. And then you go back and look at all the other Disney child-employees, and Nickelodeon alums (Alanis Morisette?). What happened to Amanda Bynes? Once you see it, you can't not-see it. Every one of those shows, even at a glance the kids just look unhealthy. Angry. Hurt. Desperate. Drugged. Has anyone ever been prosecuted for that? No? One or two token underlings? That is a rat's nest (one of many) that needs to be burned out. Why do these companies still exist? Every time it comes up, I can't help but think... entertainment should not be exempt from child labor laws. If kids aren't allowed to work in mines or mills or chimneys or strip clubs for safety, ethical, and education reasons, there is *no way* they should be allowed to work in TV, movies, advertising, or onstage. Yes, it would be completely worth having no movies, TV shows, circuses, or broadway plays featuring children. Every other work-around-- on-set advocates etc-- can be circumvented, particularly given willing parents (and there are *so* many stage parents eager to pimp out their offspring for a chance at fame and fortune, even secondhand. I've met a few). Not allowed to film them at all? That might help. Do I care about the industry? Nope. Why anyone does at this point is baffling. It's a cannibal club, and nobody needs HBO miniseries to survive.

Nobody grows up with the same parents. Even people who have the same parents. Good parents are the ones who do the best job of fighting the natural tendency and trying to be even-handed and treat everybody the same... but all parents have a favorite child. And if they're not fighting the urge, they tend also to have a kid they dump all their neuroses on-- the ugly one, or the colicky one mommy didn't bond with, generally. It's often a pattern that repeats through generations of a family-- there has to be a designated success that you pin all your hopes on, maybe a designated caretaker who'll never marry and stay home to care for elderly parents, and tolerably often the designated failure (not because they were born dumb or anything, but because somebody has to be "it"). There are other patterns, too.

Just saying, it's entirely possible that the younger one grew up in a completely different home environment, because she was assigned a different role in the family.

You know, I was an atheist most of my life, and have only recently started waking up to how blind we humans are. (Hat off to John Michael Greer. It only took 11 years of reading his stuff to start sinking in). Soooo. I am expanding my consciousness, trying to get my religious and magic practices going, but also conscious that not all entities out there are benign. Long story short, looking at things from a different angle, I recently watched some of my favourite rock videos from my youth and after a while sat back on my heels and thought: dear Lord...did these guys make a deal with the devil or some demon? Some of it is pretty obvious, lyrics, song titles etc. People really do sell their souls for material success, don't they? As a materialist atheist I thought this was just a saying. But it's true isn't it? Sorry, I sound silly I know but the realization just shocked me.

I've hear stories about various musicians going to crossroads and playing until something shows up to deal with them.

It need not be demons. Chris Knowles of the Secret Sun blog has made a case that some musicians fall into the orbit of the fey, who are naturally associated with theatre and the stage...and the bacchanal qualities of 20th century music would attract them in ways Western orchestral music would not.

Where are y'all finding reports about that? I keep seeing that story pop up and absolutely nothing about it makes any sense, the way MSM is telling it. Expanding the worship space? With tunnels dug by hired migrants? What? It does have the sound of a poorly-constructed cover story. But I've yet to see anything outside these comments speculating on other explanations.

To add fuel to this fire, the timing of this event is suspicious.

In my mind this discovery, the re-emergence of Epstein's Naughty List, and the fast collapse of the DIE/woke enterprise emerge from the neocons focusing all their energies into holding Israel together at the cost of the political infrastructure they used to get control of US foreign policy in the first place.

No doubt more skeletons will emerge now that the Gazan conflict is turning into a regional war.

Kimberly,

Long-term reader of your blog (and JMG's blogs) here. I am utterly disgusted by this incident. I just want to say a few words about Chabad, the Jewish hasidic organization (or cult, if you will) in which this happened. I am a (mostly) secular Jew who has had some limited involvement with Chabad Houses in this past.

Don't want to get into the whole detailed history here, but post-WWII, Chabad went from being just one of many obscure Hasdic sects, to exploding in numbers, prominence, and power, especially post-1990s. In many cities around the US and around the world (100 countries, according to their website), they are only form of Orthodox Judaism that exists. But there is a clear distinction between the Chabad inner-circle (in which the people involved in this incident belong) and the much larger outer-circle of secular/quasi-religious assimilated Jews who participate in their services, dinners, educational programs, and other outreach activities.

The last "rebbe" of the Chabad dynasty died childless in 1994. There are many inner-circle Chabad followers who explictly say he is the messiah, is going to come back, or is even God incarnate (sounds familiar?). But even your typical, outreach friendly Chabad rabbi when speaking to secular Jews will still casually talk about the rebbe as if he is still their leader, still alive and even communicates with them through various means. Perhaps this kind of stuff may not terribly shocking to those of a more spiritual/pagan persuasion, but these are very, very strange beliefs (IMHO, though maybe I'm the one whose got it wrong) for even mainstream, non-Hasidic Orthodox Judaism (which itself is a very strange religion for those not too familiar). Although, perhaps not that shocking? The sense I get is many in the Chabad inner circle would prefer to keep the rebbe is still alive/messiah stuff on the down low, maybe some perhaps quietly disagree and don't want to be ostracized from the rest of their families/colleagues, but no one within Chabad is willing to flat out refute it. And apparently, very few in the greater, non-Chabad Orthodox world seems to be bothered much, either (other than David Berger, who wrote a 2001 book called The Rebbe, the Messiah, and the Scandal of Orthodox Indifference and the blogger, Sharmya Rosenberg, founder of the blog "failedmessiah").

From my past perspective, Chabad does, or seems to do, a lot of good things. A lot of people are craving some form of authentic religious connection, a sense of community, and the sense of being part of something real and enduring. For many people, in many places, Chabad is the only viable alternative that currently exists besides watered-down, fake, liberal, Protestant-imitating American Judaism or giving up Judaism altogether. Or rather than spending their spiritual energy on religious life, joining political movements "as a Jew"-- with... disasterous results. There does seem to be a lot of good, caring people I've meet among the local Chabad emissaries and their families, and other casual participants who show up for services, dinners, etc, like myself. I have met some Chabad rabbis in the past who are very, very pushy, off putting, wanting to make secular Jews pretend they are in 18th century eastern European Jewish ghetto right here in 21st century America. Others seem to have a friendlier, non(explicitly)-judgmental approach.

But, .... but, but, these guys have a major problem. Apparently, in the inner circle, they really are a cult and live in their small, made up world with no input from the outside. I'd like to think a benevolent cult in times and places and for certain people... and perhaps a weird, bad cult, with certain flat out nasty subgroups (or competing subgroups?) within its inner circle, as we've seen recently. But the demented weirdos who pulled off this tunnel stuff-- are products of the inner circle of Chabad education. They have literally created their own monsters. As this news story has broken, this whole rebbe cult thing is no longer cute (not that it ever was). Things have gotten real. Since they couldn't face reality and clean up their own crap within their own house over the last 30 years, this stuff has been festering in part of the inner circle and now it is on display for the whole world.

The Jewish world is a steaming hot mess right now (and for quite some some time). I'm trying to figure it if there's still a way it can be fixed. I used to think that Chabad might of help part of the answer, but now, short of a complete institutional reckoning, I'm not so sure anymore.
