Extreme Grilling

I decided to have a grill-out today but I got lazy and didn't want to go outside. So I decided to have my grill-out on the kitchen stove.

I grilled some delicious drum-sticks and some good steak. I went on to grill some burgers and was doing an awesome job until I set off the fire alarm. I had to call the fire department immediately to tell them it was a false alarm. Wow! I had those burgers flaming! Just like in the backyard a couple of weekends ago for the spring equinox.

But yeah. No more using the kitchen stove for extreme grilling. It's not safe.

Rainy BBQ

Last week I invited my close friends, brothers, and sisters to a BBQ this coming Saturday to usher in the spring equinox. I knew there would be a chance of rain since we are still in the rainy season here where I live. So I told them that if it rains we would simply have the feast indoors.

So that's the plan. It looks like it will rain tomorrow and Saturday so spring equinox feast will be held indoors.

I also sent them a message to be on their best behavior because the full moon is on.

My friend replied with this gif image.

Pretty fuck'n cool.

Feels Like Friday

As I mentioned on a previous post, this spring equinox is a full moon equinox. And as I have already posted, the full moon is ominous to me.

This full moon was no exception. I was laid-off today. Boo-hoo.

As the old saying goes, "If life gives you lemons, make lemon-aide."

So with the last check, I paid off in full my last remaining fines. Yep, as of this moment I have absolutely no outstanding fines, citations, warrants, etc. I also have no credit card bills, car loans, etc. The full moon gave me a lime so I made a mojito. I love mojitos. The mint and lime makes them soooo delicious.

This is the reason it feels like Friday. I will probably not be dispatched to another job until early next week. So to me this Thursday feels like Friday.

Spring Equinox 2019

I have already sent invitations to my close group of family. We're going to celebrate the coming spring equinox the following Saturday.

I have also seen that there will be a full moon a day later. This makes this year's spring equinox a full moon equinox.

Hm? Now the full moon is in the picture. I'll have to send a notice to the invitees to be on their best behavior.

New Moon

The New Moon is looming ahead. It's the phase that I have been waiting for. It's when my magic is strongest.

All true magic takes place in the astral. And for me, the New Moon is propitious for magic.

Mestizo II

I had my DNA tested approximately two years ago. The results came back showing what I expected to see. I'm Mestizo. That means I'm a mix of Spanish and Native American.

About a week ago I received an email from Ancestry.com saying that they found new discoveries for me. I clicked on the link and discovered that they had a short, brief, and MISLEADING historical account of Mestizos. According to Ancestry.com, the casta system in colonial Mexico consisted of four castas (castes), these castas, or social-economic classes were 1) Penisnsulares, 2) Creollos, 3) Mestizos, and 4) Indians.

Ancestry.com blatantly and incorrectly says that Indians were at the bottom of the casta system in colonial Mexico. Who do they think they are dealing with? They obviously do not know that I already did my own research into the casta system in colonial Mexico and I already discovered that Peninsulares, Creollos, and Mestizos held the three top tiers of the social-economic structure. Indians were NOT at the bottom of the casta system, it was blacks who were at the bottom of the casta system. The casta system was established as follows:
1. Peninsulares
2. Criollos
3. Mestizos
4. Mulatos
5. Indians
And below the Indians was a myriad of other castas, all the way down to the pure black, or African, who was at the very bottom.

The casta system was set up in a way that placed the individual with the most Spanish blood at the top. This is the reason why Mulatos (Spanish & Black) were fourth and the Indians were fifth in the system. A Mulato was half Spanish whereas an Indian had no Spanish. However, even an Indian was higher in the system than someone who was mixed with Black ( except for the Mulato who was half Spanish).

See my post "Mestizo," posted September 7, 2018.

Ancestry.com goes on to say that Mestizos and Indians were basically peones on the Spanish owned haciendas but failed to mention that Mestizos and Indians could not be enslaved under Spanish law. The Blacks and pure Africans on the other hand could, and often times were, enslaved.

Ancestry.com gets an "F" for their half-ass version of the casta system in colonial Mexico.

Magic Defined

"The Religion of the Ancient Magi, even those who found, and visited, the child Jesus; a combination of Religion, Science, and Philosophy; a system of training having to do with the whole man -- body, mind, and soul -- and recognizing man as a threefold being, a Trinity of body, mind, and soul.

This Trinity when perfectly developed, makes man one with God, and gives him the power of the Magi.

The Magi recognize each part of the threefold being as equal in importance one with the other. They recognize the body is as real and important as the mind, that the mind is as important as body and soul, and that soul is as important as the other two. They recognize that there can be no perfection in man so long as he depreciates the one or the other of his threefold nature, knowing that the power of the Magi comes only to the perfectly developed man."
