This past April 20th weekend, the 19th of April 2015, Jerusalem based author Yoseph Ibn Mardachya came to Santa Barbara's Book Den to expound on issues related to Cannabis normalization,  extremes, concerns and tendencies in bridging between traditional or localized norms, and the wider circulation of religion, ideology or specific drugs, in the context of his own life's journey.

Book Den 420

Inaugural episode. Wonder Woman's new incarnation as Mars explored, the mythic idea of Amazons and its relationship to globalism and Pan-Hellenic Modernity, as well as my life and its conflicts. How much violence does liberation depend on? What kind and from who? What can Wonder Woman teach and misteach our daughters about Being Safe and Principled?  Rabbi Shimon tried to warn us!  Hippolyta in the Talmud, no mention of Sephirot, sticking to the Stars and the Real for the moment. If I did have to sephir this one, i'd say Yesod she b Binah, the Wisdom around the Conflict.
 
Trigger warning: gender issues come up, the classical, ancient and modern contrasted in a fluid associative passionate shamanic gumbo. Religion gets weird when the kids start feeling safer~

A summary of MY Dracula year, processing some conclusions about the Kabbalah of Dracula, Clowns, Fascism, Morality, antiquity, and hunger in the context of the Watchmen condurum, a sort of review and contrast, along with a sumary of maybe this entire Pop Cartoon Kaballa project, including a projected date for its resolution into print! All in good Leviathan time.

PopCartoonKaballah Dracula year Watchmen review

The curious universal and particular nature of Days/Deis. Santa Claus in our schools. Oldest Judeo-talmudic tradition about the winter solstice, the original holiday of Adam and Eve, Before Chrismas or Hanukkah. Speculations on regional adaptations of universal things.  The secret of the original light, contemplative blessings! Moral priorities lol! Mars in context, Venus in swing, Saturn so hungry and scared. A little bit of Robert Anton Wilson, just a hint of Tom Robbins. Full of Joo stuff, dieu-Jew-Zhu-shoo!
