We arrive at our discovery of entropy by way of striving to inscript reality and matter with the “epistemic objects” of science. This is done by attempting essentially to match predication and “performance statements” generated in the lab, onto and into reality itself. This comes via the statistical, probabilistic and strategic speaking and thinking that is the result of standardized writing essentially. The more the world turns towards “globish” or “universal English” the more we will find our selves reeling ever deeper in existential ennui. The standardiZed and standardiZed worldview of the unconscious technology of the representational model within the “merely” phonological exogrammic system we know as the alphabet has had extreme consequences. The Logos is real but we choose over and over to manifest it as ossified bureaucracy, legalism, scientism and debt.

The calm of evening was upon the world as I emerged from the great hall, and the scene was lit by the warm glow of the setting sun. At first things were very confusing. Everything was so entirely different from the world I had known—even the flowers. The big building I had left was situated on the slope of a broad river valley, but the Thames had shifted perhaps a mile from its present position. I resolved to mount to the summit of a crest perhaps a mile and a half away, from which I could get a wider view of this our planet in the year Eight Hundred and Two Thousand Seven Hundred and One A.D. For that, I should explain, was the date the little dials of my machine recorded.

As I walked I was watching for every impression that could possibly help to explain the condition of ruinous splendour in which I found the world—for ruinous it was. A little way up the hill, for instance, was a great heap of granite, bound together by masses of aluminium, a vast labyrinth of precipitous walls and crumpled heaps, amidst which were thick heaps of very beautiful pagodalike plants—nettles possibly—but wonderfully tinted with brown about the leaves, and incapable of stinging. It was evidently the derelict remains of some vast structure, to what end built I could not determine. It was here that I was destined, at a later date, to have a very strange experience—the first intimation of a still stranger discovery—but of that I will speak in its proper place.

So we see this Fool is not the ordinary sort of foolish and besotted person to which the form is usually applied. In his Foolishness we find his difference from his fellows; for in sooth it is the Divine Madness of Ecstasy which redeems from all pain. It is "That which remains" after the sorrows and shadows that pass and are done, have left our being. Then Existence is recognized to be Pure Joy.

I remember him as if it were yesterday, as he came plodding to the inn door, his sea-chest following behind him in a hand-barrow; a tall, strong, heavy, nut-brown man; his tarry pigtail falling over the shoulders of his soiled blue coat; his hands ragged and scarred, with black, broken nails; and the sabre cut across one cheek, a dirty, livid white. I remember him looking round the cove and whistling to himself as he did so, and then breaking out in that old sea-song that he sang so often afterwards:—

“Fifteen men on the dead man's chest—

Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"

in the high, old tottering voice that seemed to have been tuned and broken at the capstan bars. Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste, and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard. "This is a handy cove," says he, at length; "and a pleasant sittyated grog-shop. Much company, mate?"

Encomium is a Latin word deriving from the Ancient Greek enkomion (ἐγκώμιον), meaning "the praise of a person or thing." Another Latin equivalent is laudatio, a speech in praise of someone or something.

Originally was the song sung by the chorus at the κῶμος, or festal procession, held at the great national games in honour of the victor, either on the day of his victory or on its anniversary. The word came afterwards to denote any song written in celebration of distinguished persons, and in later times any spoken or written panegyric whatever.

Encomium also refers to several distinct aspects of rhetoric:

• A general category of oratory

• A method within rhetorical pedagogy

• A figure of speech praising a person or thing, but occurring on a smaller scale than an entire speech

• The eighth exercise in the progymnasmata series

• A literary genre that included five elements: prologue, birth and upbringing, acts of the person's life, comparisons used to praise the subject, and an epilogue [citation needed]

• The basilikos logos (imperial encomium), a formal genre in the Byzantine empire

I only tell the two stories above – about the flying and the robbery – to be as honest as possible, and say that although you will be genuinely shielded, you won’t be invincible. You must still take care and look after yourself.

I have often used spells to remain ‘invisible’ in dangerous areas, because I enjoy passing through such places – but I also know that it’s important to keep a low profile. When passing through those areas I don’t attract attention to myself. You need to contribute to the magick. If your home is under threat from thieves, get good locks as well as good magick.

This might sound outrageously obvious, but many people think that magick will be so powerful they can do whatever they want and remain protected. A young man I knew used a protection ritual to avoid violence, and went out on a drunken night and thought he could verbally abuse anybody he wanted. He found out how wrong he was. Mind you, when he was punched, he did manage to keep his teeth intact – so perhaps the magick helped after all. The point here is that protection magick is meant to keep you safe, not to make you a superhero.

Òtúrúpɚn méjì is the power that brought sickness to the world, and also medicine. It is a cleansing power. It tells of the inherent harmony of the worlds and the structure of earth. We must understand our own structure in order to discern between good and bad, not only for ourselves but for the world. It is a force that calls forth a sense of responsibility in a conscious continuum of actions.
