Spooky Electric - Is There Someone Inside You?

"That's When I Realised I had to Challenge them with Love."

"So what are we gonna do?

If you want to change things, the first thing you have to change is yourself.

Because if you don’t change yourself, you will take on the world as if it is yourself – and fuck up. 

You will really fuck up, because you don’t understand your own dark side. 

If you don’t understand your own weird, shitty side.. if you don’t understand the fact that there’s someone in there who will kill your mother, if need be – if you can’t take that on; if you can’t take that on board and realise that Charles Manson and me and you are not much different; that John Wayne Gacy and me and you are not much different – except that he did it. 

Y’know, there’s those days when I’m gonna kill that motherfucker over there – but we don’t do it.

But it’s in us, and it’s there. 

And so much of this is denial. That we have no dark side. 

You know: the hippies, and those lovely people in the rave era who were all on ecstasy – they tried to pretend we have no dark side. 

And what happened was they got fucked up by their own dark side. 

As will ALWAYS happen.

So let’s kiss our Dark Sides; let’s f**k our Dark Sides. 

GET BEHIND ME, SATAN !!

Get him down there where he belongs. 

And he can tell us stuff. Y’know, that thing’s useful.

But above all: let’s become plex-creatures. 

Complex, superplex – be able to take on new personality traits; able to take on new ideas; able to adapt; able to extend our boundaries into what was previously the ‘enemy territory’ – until the point where we become what was once our enemy, and they are us, and there is no distinction."

Tidbit: Some Celtic coins are thought to show images of Andraste.

Andraste is a warrior goddess, the goddess of victory, of ravens and of battles, similar in many ways to the Irish war goddess, Morrigan.  Besides "the invincible one," her name is also known to mean "she who has not fallen".  It is told that her presence was evoked on the eve of battle to curry favor, and as a goddess of divination, she was probably called upon to divine the outcome of battles and war.

Boudicca and Lucretia

Boudicca - A Mother's Revenge

[Go to Boudicca: Marriage, Rape & Revenge Part I]

A whole troop of foreigners would not be able to withstand a single Celt if he called his wife to his assistance. The wife is even more formidable. She is usually very strong, and with blue eyes; in rage her neck veins swell, she gnashes her teeth, and brandishes her snow-white robust arms. She begins to strike blows mingled with kicks, as if they were so many missles sent from the string of a catapault.
Ammianus Marcellinus from Celtic Women, p.82.

Lucretia

The Romans had a very different attitude towards women and rape. The latter was a property crime against the husband or paterfamilias. The story of Lucretia (who stabbed herself rather than allow her name to go through posterity tainted) epitomizes the shame felt by Roman victims.Lucretia had been such a model of Roman feminine virtue that she enflamed the lust of the son of the king, Tarquinus Superbus, to the point that he arranged to accost her in private. When she resisted his pleas, he threatened to place her naked, dead body beside that of a male slave in the same state so that it would look like adultery. The threat worked and Lucretia permitted the violation.

Following the rape, Lucretia told her male relatives, elicited a promise for revenge, and stabbed herself. Livy

Chiomara & Camma

For the Celts, rape doesn't seem to have been so much shameful as demanding dial, revenge. In the first instance below, the victim is said to have quipped that there should be only one man alive who knows her carnally. In the second case the woman seems to have hated the man so much that she thought it was worth self-sacrifice to get rid of him. The third instance is a bit different. As Antonia Fraser points out in Warrior Queens, there the rape was a calculated, political move whose intent was to show the Celts their helplessness against the Romans.

Chiomara, a famous Celtic Queen and the wife of Ortagion of the Tolistoboii, was captured by the Romans and raped by a centurion in 189 B.C. When the centurion learned of her status, he demanded (and received) ransom While the centurion gathered his gold, Chiomara took his head. Peter Berresford Ellis, in Celtic Womenattributes this story to a conversation between Polybius and the queen recorded by Plutarch.

Another story from Plutarch concerns that curious eighth form of Celtic marriage, that by rape ( lánamnas éicne no sláithe, in Irish Brehon Law, and kynnywedi ar liw ac ar oleu, in the Welsh). A priestess of Brigid named Camma was wife of a chieftain named Sinatos. Sinorix murdered Sinatos, then forced the priestess to marry him. Camma put poison in the ceremonial cup from which they both drank. To allay his suspicions, she drank first.

Boudicca

Boudicca, one of history's most powerful women, suffered rape only vicariously -- as a mother, but her revenge detroyed thousands.

Tacitus

Prasutagus, king of the Iceni, made an alliance with Rome so that he would be allowed to rule his territory (as a client-king). When he died in 60 A.D., Tacitus reports that he made the emperor and his own two daughters heirs, hoping, thereby, to placate Rome. Such a will was not in accordance with Celtic law; nor did it satisfy the new emperor, for centurions plundered Prasutagus' house, whipped his widow, Boudicca, and raped their daughters.

It was time for revenge (dial). Boudicca, as ruler and war leader of the Iceni, led a retaliatory revolt against the Romans. Enlisting the support of the neighboring tribe of Trinovantes and possibly some others, she headed towards the town the Romans called Camulodunum, the new administrative capital of the Roman imperial province. After Boudicca's forces resoundingly defeated the Roman troops at Camulodonum and virtually annihilated the IX Hispania, they headed towards London. The Roman commander chose to sacrifice London, so when Boudicca's troops arrived, they slaughtered all Romans and razed the town.

Then the tide turned. Not to dwell on the sad details -- eventually Boudicca was defeated, but not captured. She and her daughters are thought to have taken poison to avoid capture and ritual execution at Rome.

Now she lives on in legend as Boadicea of the flaming mane who stands towering, in a scythe wheeled chariot.

  Another reason the surrounding tribes joined Boudicca against the Romans was the destruction of a holy place.

  This essay addressed charges brought against the northerners by the Greeks and Romans.

  It should be noted that for the most part, the Romans with their war-oriented civilization, both appreciated and feared the barbarians as mighty warriors. It was the more effete Greeks who excoriated the barbarians as bloody, subhuman, demonic entities.

The 7-Step Plan for Climbing Out of Hell

The 7-Step Plan for Climbing Out of Hel 

("Hell")

“On the other hand, a goddess of death who represents the horrors of slaughter and decay is something well known elsewhere; the figure of Kali in India is an outstanding example. Like Snorri’s Hel, she is terrifying to in appearance, black or dark in colour, usually naked, adorned with severed heads or arms or the corpses of children, her lips smeared with blood. She haunts the battlefield or cremation ground and squats on corpses. Yet for all this she is ‘the recipient of ardent devotion from countless devotees who approach her as their mother’

Janine, You've Changed...

I want to just give a quick shout-out, Kudos and credit where it's due to J. Michael Strazinski as the Spiritual Godfather of all Lady Ghostbusters : 

Because I do, DISTINCTLY recall that he went out of his way to have Janine Melnitz strap on (sorry) a Proton Pack, don a pink jumpsuit and step up in a crisis to come to the aid and rescue of all of the silly men.

Before deciding she likes answering phones and taking messages better and declares that she knows her place in life, and this is it. Yay, Voluntary 1980s Glass-Ceiling. Girl Power.

Yeah - 'Cuz that isn't at all sexual.

"Vey ehm I Drippings Wiz Goo...?"

Spooky Electric came along, and then we all did a bunch of Ecstasy & Viagra, one thing let to another....

.....some years later stories started to emerge about Tuesday December 1st, 1987...

...Somewhere that night he decided against it’s release....

...The decision appeared to be made after experiencing some heavy hallucinations when using the drug Ecstasy...

In what he has called a vision the letters :

G O D 

[ NOTE : "G O D" Not " J E H O V A H " ]

were hovering over a field.....

...He also didn’t want this album to be his legacy in case he died after the release.....

[Well, of course he was going to die at some point after the release.... isn't he...?]

" MILLIONS NOW LIVING MAY NEVER DIE "

PLEASE DON'T BUY THE BLACK ALBUM. I'M SORRY

“Camille set out to silence his critics. No longer daring - his enemies laughed. No longer glam, his funk is half-assed... 

Tuesday came. Blue Tuesday. His canvas full, and lying on the table, Camille mustered all the hate that he was able. Hate 4 the ones who ever doubted his game. Hate 4 the ones who ever doubted his name.

Tis nobody funkier -- let the Black Album fly. Spooky Electric was talking, Camille started 2 cry. Tricked.

A fool he had been. In the lowest utmostest. 

He had allowed the dark side of him 2 create something evil. 

2 Nigs United 4 West Compton. 

Camille and his ego. Bob George. 

Why? 

Spooky Electric must die.”

"So let’s kiss our dark sides; let’s f**k our dark sides. 

Get him down there where he belongs. 

And he can tell us stuff. 

Y’know, that thing’s useful."

.....some years later stories started to emerge about Tuesday December 1st, 1987 and the preceding evening when Prince went to the club Rupert’s. He asked the DJ to play the new album and observed the responses of the people in the club.

The same night he met Ingrid Chavez. She is a poet, singer, songwriter and nowadays wife of singer David Sylvian. The two went to Paisley Park and had an intense conversation. Apparently Prince already had some doubts about releasing the album. Somewhere that night he decided against it’s release. The decision appeared to be made after experiencing some heavy hallucinations when using the drug Ecstasy. In what he has called a vision the letter G O D were hovering over a field. It made him realise that it was his responsibility not to release this dark and negative album to kids. 

He also didn’t want this album to be his legacy in case he died after the release.....
