King Tut: Sacred Icon of the Restoration Revelation


There are no two ways about it- King Tut is an international superstar.
There are two touring exhibits of his tomb's treasures (minus the priceless sarcophagus) that have been record sellouts across Europe and North America, moving hundreds of thousands of tickets during a global recession. 

Live Action Role Play or Live Action Ritual Programming?


If I were to create a new religion, I'd do so as a performance art exercise. Congregants would be told from the start that this was all fiction, it was all art. And believe me; I'd go whole hog with the liturgy. The smells, the bells, the chants, the vestments- all of that great ritualism that the Church stole from the Mystery religions.

The Real McCain

A couple of people have asked me if I saw the Eye of Horus in the McCain campaign logo, as some have claimed.
