IOWA'S SENSUOUS CZECH VISIONARY,
SISTER KASI

Dear Kasi,

     How can I tell if I am really in love with a woman, or if I have been bewitched by a spell to enslave my heart and torture my imagination with thoughts of our being together forever?

     Love's Coward in Newton

     Dear Coward,

     You can't.

     Dear Kasi,

     I have enemies who are at this moment seeking to deprive me of vast sums of money and significant advancement in my career. They have made promises and pretended friendship then betrayed me in my absence. I seek vengence. I want to punish them for the wrongs they have dealt me, and force them to my will. I should mention that I am living in Iowa and they live in England.

     Brooding and Hateful in Iowa City

     Dear Hateful ,

     The kind of energy you are putting out will only cause more of the same grievance to come your way. Demonic energies are making you seek power and conive at punishments for wrongs you are not capable to judge. I realize most people are not patient enough to let actual wrongs be righted by karmic backlash, but I assure you that if these English no-goods have done you wrong, they will suffer 3 to 1000 times over for it. So too, will you also suffer 3-1000 times for your hatred and any direct action you might take against them. Forgiveness and acceptance will reap you benefits a thousand fold. But alas, I sense you are too far gone and I do have an obligation not to hinder your destiny.

     Create as accurate an image of these people as possible using virgin wax. Place inside things they have owned or touched---such as any contracts you may have signed with them (remember to remove your own signature to protect yourself from accidental injury from your own incantations). Place under the figure's right arm the heart of a freshly killed swallow, and the liver under the left. On its forhead write the name of the victim, and on its ribs these words: Allif, casyl, zaze, hit, mel, meltat, and Riscarthollier. Baptise the figure in the peron's name. Thus prepared, the person you seek to harm will feel the pain when the figure is cut, stabbed, melted, burned, drowned, buried, or otherwise tormented.

     To kill these enemies, say a mass for the dead in their names while in a church cemetary. To drive them mad, procure some of their hair and weave it into the nest of a bird. Lastly, if you have a copy of the Necronomicon, you might try the Invocation of the Fire God.

     Please abandon these thoughts and forgive these people! Your time would be best spent earning the respect of your enemies by surpassing them with a new project, not Black Magic.

     Dear Kasi,

     I want you. I think about you constantly, and would give anything to spend the night locked in passionate embrace, casting powerful sex magic spells, and making you scream with delight as we push past the known limits of desire and pleasure.

     Agonized with Lust in Panther Creek

     Dear Agonized,

     You may not remember this, but in our last lives you spurned me. I was a fragile teen with a true heart who loved you very much, but you considered me ugly and stupid, and were cruel enough to tell me so. I never recovered from the blow. That rejection drove me to suicide and ended a life that could have been spent in love and happiness had I not encountered the detestable spirit in your beautiful body. In the words of a character in one of my favorite movies this summer, "Paybacks a bitch, ain't it?" I prefer something slow and painful...that might even things up.

     By the way, I forgive you.
