NORTH QUEENSLAND UFO SAGA - By Stan Seers and William
Lasich.

The sparsely-populated coast of North Queensland opposite
the Great Barrier Reef abounds in vegetative growth. Tall reed
or cane concealing “flying saucer nests” form a notable feature
of the UFO saga which began(1) with the adventure of George
Pedley, a 27-year-old banana farmer of Euramo near Tully, some
95 miles south of Cairns.
At about 9.00 a.m. on the clear sunny morning of Wednesday,
January 19, 1966, Pedley was driving a petrol tractor across
the property of a friend and neighbour, Mr. Albert Pennisi,
cane farmer and resident of some 19 years.
The farm track along which he drove wound its way towards,
and thence alongside, what is locally known as Horseshoe Lagoon.
This contained an area of still water about 5ft. deep and an
acre or so in extent, much of which was covered by a thick
growth of water reeds, the stems of these, about 1/2in. in
diameter protruding above the surface to a height of
approximately 2ft.
As he approached the lagoon, which was to his right, with
the sun by this time well up in the sky to his left, he thought
he detected a misfire in the tractor motor. Almost immediately
over the noise of the tractor he heard a sharp hissing noise,
and then to his amazement he saw rising from the reeds,
approximately 25 yards to his right and slightly ahead of him,
a saucer-shaped object which ascended fairly slowly to an
estimated height of 60ft., tilted a little to one side and then
with a burst of speed quickly vanished in a south-westerly
direction. Except for the original hissing noise, no other
sound was heard. The total time of observation was estimated at
4 to 5 seconds.
Mr. Pedley stated that the object was approximately 25ft. in
diameter, about 9ft thick at the centre, silver-grey in colour
and generally sharp in outline. He jumped from the tractor and
hurried across to the lagoon from whence the object had
ascended and immediately discovered a circular flattened area
within the tall green reeds. The flattened stems were radially
distributed in a noticeably anti-clockwise manner(2). He was
emphatic that the swathed reeds were at that time quite green,
as were all other reeds outside this area. The swathe of
newly-flattened reeds formed a “nest” of 30ft diameter.
He further noted an area of giant water couch grass
immediately outside the perimeter of the “nest”, about a square
yard of which had been apperently clipped short and the
clippings removed. Pedley is positive in recollection that the
water of the “nest” was STILL SWIRLING slightly in a circular
motion at the moment when he first saw it.
After a few minutes he returned to the tractor, started the
motor and went on his way. When questioned later, Mr. Pedley
stated that he could not remember whether or not he switched
the motor off when leaving it, stalled the motor when stopping,
or whether it just cut out after he left it, but is quite
certain that the tractor motor was “dead” when he returned
since he clearly remembers restarting it. The motor electrical
ignition system was the conventional one for the model.
Later in the day he felt that he should tell someone of what
he had seen, so called on Mr. Albert Pennisi, owner of the
lagoon and surrounding property and related to him his
experience. At about 4.00 p.m. they returned together to the
lagoon. Mr. Pennisi stripped, waded out to the “nest” and found
that it was possible to swim through from side to side BELOW
the flattened area, without meeting with any obstruction,
indicating quite clearly that the whole mass of the “nest” was
actually FLOATING on the surface.
Shortly afterwards, at about 5.00 p.m., Mr. Pennisi, using
colour film took a series of photographs. The prints
subsequently obtained, clearly substantiate a remarkable
feature which both witnesses had observed and remarked on. The
flattened reeds in the “nest” had turned noticeably brown, but
ONLY ON THE UPPER SURFACES. The underside of each reed nearest
the water still remained quite green. this “browning” of the
upper surfaces of the reeds had quite obviously taken place
since 9 a.m. that morning.
A resurgence of “nest” phenomena at the same Tully lagoon
has occurred recently (January/February 1968). Sometime
earlier, noting a prediction of sunspot maximum for May 1968 by
the Swiss authority M. Waldmeive, QFSRB [Queensland Flying
Saucer Research Bureau - now; UFO Research Queensland. M.W.]
were primed(3) to the possibility of increased UFO activity in
1968.
With this in mind, it was decided to set up two monitor
stations, No. 1 in the Tully district (North Queensland) and
No. 2 in the South, some 20 miles out of Brisbane. The precise
location of sites must remain undisclosed, since the monitors
operate virtually unattended at some distance from habitation.

The equipment at No. 1 station was set up by Mr. Vince Mele
with the assistance of an electronics friend. The monitor is
built around a photo-cell and sensitive magnetic compass. The
photo-cell light beam is interrupted if magnetic dusturbance is
present, and the fluctuation of photo-cell current then
activates the cine-camera release. The camera (Eumig 8mm auto.)
is energised so long as magnetic field disturbance continues
(five frames exposed per 2-second interval).
During February a spontaneous magnetic field disturbance was
actually recorded during initial trials. On the same day a UFO
sighting was reported by an isolated witness, some eight miles
from the base. Heavy cloud cover in the area impeded further
observation of the UFO flight trajectory. The information was
not enough to provide 100 per cent proof that the detector was
UFO-triggered on this occasion. Nevertheless things looked
quite promising.
At the end of February both monitors were fitted with
cameras, tested and operating. On March 2, Tully lagoon
contained four nests, then about three weeks old. The camera
site was screened from view some 50ft. from the nearest “nest”.
On this date radio 4KZ broadcast an arresting news flash! An
airliner en route Cairns to Iron Range had been paced at
6,000ft. for some minutes by a UFO some 2,000ft above the
aircraft. Both airline pilots witnessed the event. Somewhere
over Cooktown area the UFO broke contact and shot off at
enormous speed (described as something like 1,500 m.p.h.). An
inspection of the No. 1 monitor found the camera still in
motion although all 25ft of colour film(4) had been run through
and the batteries were nearly exhausted. The roll of 16-mm film
was removed and reversed for a second run, and new batteries
installed. (Technically this indicates the field perturbation -
cum UFO - was present for the whole 10 minutes the film was
run.)
On March 4, two days later, quite a number of local
inhabitants reported the passage of another UFO. An inspection
of the monitor again revealed that it had been “triggered”, but
this time, for some unknown reason, only some 15 or 16 frames
had been exposed. An examination of the batteries which had
been carefully tested and were fully charged when fitted,
revealed that they were quite flat.
The remainder of the film was wound through by hand, removed
from the camera, sealed in the usual container and addressed to
Kodak Ltd., Melbourne, for processing, all of this in the
presence of two reliable witnesses. It was then conveyed to
Tully for posting, the packet was weighed, and the charge was
14 cents. Some 10 days later a letter was received from Kodak
stating that the container, which was returned to the sender,
HAD BEEN EMPTY ON ARRIVAL! The empty container still had the 14
cent stamp attached, and a quick check at the Post Office
established that the postage on an empty container was 5 cents
only. Further exchanges with Kodak Ltd. produced no results.
The loss of the film was reported to the civil police who
were very co-operative, but after a careful detective
investigation interstate, were unable to shed light on the
mystery of the vanished film so far as can be quoted from
official statement. Unofficially, however, a hint was thrown
out by a person of reliable character and seemingly well
informed in police matters, that it was likely that
Commonwealth authorities had taken possession of the film and
therefore it would be useless to pursue enquiries further.
To complete the “cloak and dagger ” atmosphere, even more
bizarre was a seemingly casual suggestion conveyed to one of
the UFO investigators by an individual undoubtedly
knowledgeable in government intelligence activities. This
“contact” advised our UFO researching colleague that NEXT time
the UFO camera ought to be loaded with black and white film. Is
this too incredible? No, probably just the verdict of hard-won
experience in the photographic lab. of “salvaging” difficult
aircraft images, under-exposed and diffused by grain and
distortion. Even perhaps of UFOs?
It is not without interest also to record, shortly after
loss of the film, circa March 13, two R.A.A.F. [Royal
Australian Air Force] helicopters were observed for some time
deploying over the site of the very lagoon significant to the
events described, by the owner of the properties concerned.
Several “saucer nests” were still visible at this date.
Mr. Colin Bennett, M.L.A., [Member of the Legislative
Assembly] Barrister, after studying complete documentation of
the incident, expressed keen interest and promptly offered his
every assistance in inquiries. Mr. Bennett then wrote to
Canberra [Federal government] concerning the missing UFO film,
presenting, he stated, “a submission to the Commonwealth
Authorities in rather strong terms.”
In a reply from Canberra dated August 29, Mr. Gordon Freeth,
Minister for Air stated he was unable to offer any suggestion
as to the fate of the film. He denied positively the Department
of Air had ever, at any time, removed from Kodak Ltd., material
relating to UFOs.

So far a disappointing outcome for UFO researchers. Could it
be that sensible lifemanship indicates the affair might as well
be allowed to fade into limbo? Let the UFOs “buzz-off” so we
can get on with our own affairs. A public philosophy endorsed
by our officialdom!
MORE VISITATIONS

However the UFOs must be immune to exorcism, or have ignored
the message, since the Cairns-Tully area continues to sport its
UFO-active events. A further “nest” was discovered soon after
on April 25 in a cane field close to Cairns (25 miles north of
Tully). Flattened stems lay in an oval-shaped area 70ft. by
30ft. These were described by a horse-riding party as
completely screened by standing cane.
A more recent close encounter with a UFO (October 1) was
reported by Louie Maule, 35, a Tully district farmer. Near on
8.00 p.m. he was headed north driving home from South
Johnstone, when he saw descending from the night sky, a large
black object ringed with red lights. “I got a shock”, Maule
said. “It was GIGANTIC and looked to be slowing up.”
The headlights of a passing car momentarily obscured his
vision, and he slowed to a stop. “When I looked again it was
travelling towards South Johnstone at maybe 100 m.p.h.”
Interviewed by Vince Mele, the motorist Louie Maule stated
the UFOs’ altitude was about 500ft. It was circular in shape,
and about 60ft. in diameter, as clearly out-lined by the red
lights around the perimeter. The red-ringed disc was last seen
to bank and proceed towards the clouds at very high speed.
On the same evening, some 3 miles to the north, Vince Mele
had set up his mobile detector on a hill site overlooking the
surrounding area. Promptly at 8.00 p.m. his detector alarm
sounded and it was two minutes before the alarm re-set itself
automatically. After this, it was quiet for the rest of the
evening.
Although it must be noted that Vince Mele did not himself
see any lights, the October 1 incident now seems to provide
the first good evidence for independent visual sighting
correlated with triggering of the detector by the ambient field
of a UFO.(5)

A Continued Mystery

The Tully UFO photographs (presuming something WAS on the
film) are by no means the first UFO shots to disappear from the
Australian scene. A recapitulation made at the CAPIO Convention
(Canberra, July 1968) produced the following list:
1. 11.00 a.m., August 23, 1953, of nine photographs taken at
Port Moresby by T.P. Drury, Deputy Minister of Civil Aviation,
the five best shots were “lost” by CAD, who had loaned them
to the United States Air Force, Washington. **[I will type
up and post the full report on this particular sighting
shortly. It is contained in the complete, original 45 page
report entitled "Flying Saucers Over Papua - A Report on
Papuan Unidentified Flying Objects." dated March 1960, by
the Revd. Norman E.G. Cruttwell, M.A. Oxon, of the Anglican
Mission, Menapi, Papua, New Guinea, and documents a lot of
the 79 Papuan sightings of the time, including the full
report on the 'Father Gill' case. M.W.]**

2. Daytime, Easter 1954, some 200 photographs, cine and
stills, of an object pacing three young men in an Austin
sedan, driving through the interior near the Western and
South Australian border. “Borrowed” by the R.A.A.F. and
never returned.

3. 11.00 a.m., July 7, 1961, 6in. by 3in negative of the
“Thing” observed by scores of North Queenslanders and
photographed by R.T. Sheward of the Cairns Post. This
negative was sent to Kodak Melbourne by Mt. Stromlo
scientists. This time the container did not arrive empty -
according to Kodak, IT JUST DID NOT ARRIVE.

4. 3.25 a.m., May 27, 1965, several photographs taken by an
airline pilot (Ansett-ANA) of a UFO pacing an air liner in
flight for 10 minutes over Bougainville Reef en route to
Port Moresby. Film confiscated by the authorities.

5. Actual time unknown, March 4 of this year, Tully, North
Queensland, Missing cine film. We wonder where they all
are?

THE SEARCH FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE
(S E T I)

Our Milky Way Galaxy is only one of 10 billion galaxies in the
presently observable universe. Our Sun is just one of some 300 billion
stars in our galaxy alone. Astronomers have confirmed that the Sun and
the galaxy, which make our existence possible, are not unusual or
basically different from other galaxies and stars.

A few generations ago, astronomers believed that planetary systems
were extremely rare–that our solar system and our Earth with its
life-supporting environment might well be unique. Chemists and
biologists knew little if anything about the processes that led to the
origin of life. In the last fifteen years, however, a number of
important discoveries have strongly suggested that there is a
fundamental relationship between the origin and evolution of life and
the origin and evolution of the universe.

Advances in astronomy and physics have given renewed support to the
concept that planets are not rare exceptions, but are a natural part
of the star formation process and may number in the hundreds of
millions in our galaxy alone. [In December 1984, the National Science
Foundation announced that a team of Arizona astronomers had detected a
possible solar system around Beta Pictoris, a star 53 light years from
Earth.] Recent biological experiments applying natural energy sources
to molecules have produced some of the organic building blocks that
make up the chemistry of life. Radio astronomers have discovered that
many organic molecules exist even in the depths of interstellar space.
Elements identified in these molecules include hydrogen, nitrogen,
oxygen, carbon, silicon, and phosphorus. Earth has been without life
only a small fraction of its age, which leads many scientists to look
upon the formation of life on other suitable planets as very likely.
Once begun, and given billions of years of relative stability, life
may achieve intelligence and, in some cases, may evolve into a
technological civilization.

One direct way of testing whether intelligent life exists beyond our
solar system is to search for an artificially generated radio signal
coming from interstellar space. As an example, ultrahigh frequency and
microwave radio signals emanating from Earth are expanding into space
at the speed of light. This radio, radar, and television “leakage” of
ours currently fills a sphere nearly 100 light-years in diameter. The
same phenomenon would serve to announce the presence of other
intelligent life. Moreover, advanced civilizations might be operating
radio beacons, possibly to attract the attention of emerging societies
and bring them into contact with a community of long-established
intelligent societies existing throughout the galaxy.

Either type of signal (leakage or beacon) would be easiest to detect
at frequencies where the background radio noise is minimal. One of the
quietest regions of the electromagnetic spectrum is the “microwave
window” that lies in the frequency band between 1000 and 10,000
megahertz (MHz). It is reasonable to assume that others wishing to
establish interstellar contact by radio might choose this band.

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is not new, having
first been proposed by U.S. scientists in 1959. Since that time,
numerous scientific and technical studies have been made on an
international scale, and more than 30 radio searches have been
attempted, covering only a minute area of search space. What is new
today is the available technology. Radio telescopes on Earth are
sufficiently sensitive to detect signals no stronger than some leaving
Earth at distances of a thousand light-years or more. The 305 meter
(1000-ft) diameter radio telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico, could
detect transmissions from nearby stars that are less powerful but
similar to our own television and radars. Advances in computers and
data processing techniques now make it possible to search
automatically through millions of incoming radio signals each second
and, if it is present, to identify a signal transmitted by an
intelligent society.

The NASA SETI Program is nearing the end of a 5-year research and
development phase, using existing radio telescopes and advanced
electronic techniques to develop prototype SETI instrumentation. The
program is being jointly carried out by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
(JPL) at Pasadena, California, and the NASA Ames Research Center at
Moffet Field, California. Leading radio scientists from the national
laboratories and academic community have also joined together in the
SETI Science Working Group to assist the JPL-Ames team in developing
the instrumentation and the search strategy.

The proposed plan involves two complementary search modes that are
designed to cover a range of possibilities. One mode is an all-sky
survey that will search the entire celestial sphere over a wide
frequency range (1200 to 10,000 MHz plus spot bands up to 25,000 MHz)
to cover the possibility that there may be a few civilizations
transmitting strong signals, possibly as interstellar beacons. Longer
observing times may be allocated to directions that include a large
number of stars, especially the galactic plane. The radio telescopes
employed will be the 34-meter (112-ft) diameter antennas that are part
of NASA’s Deep Space Network. The survey will be conducted by moving
the telescope across the sky at a constant rate. It will cover at
least 10,000 times more frequency space than all previous survey
attempts, will be about 300 times more sensitive, and will take about
5 years to complete.

The second mode is a high-sensitivity targeted search that will look
for weak signals originating near solar-type stars within 80
light-years distance from Earth. The objective is to examine the
possibility that nearby civilizations may have radio transmitters no
more powerful than our own. Some stellar clusters and nearby galaxies
will also be observed. The frequency range covered will be 1200 to
3000 MHz plus spot bands between 3000 and 10,000 MHz. To achieve very
high sensitivity, the targeted search will use some of the largest
radio telescopes available, including the 305-meter (1000-ft) diameter
antenna at Arecibo, Puerto Rico, and the Deep Space Network’s 64-meter
(210-ft) diameter antennas. The number of targets covered will be much
larger than previous searches and the range of frequencies covered
will be thousands of times greater. The targeted search is expected to
take about 3 years to complete.

Current astrophysical knowledge and the available technology make the
SETI observing program both timely and feasible. Timeliness also
relates to the rapidly-increasing sources of radio frequency
interference (RFI) in the microwave band. Portions of the microwave
spectrum that directly concern SETI ar subject to allocation to
numerous users worldwide, emphasizing the need to proceed with SETI
while it remains economically possible with our current technology. If
the use of the microwave spectrum continues to increase at its present
rate, the greatest exploration opportunity in the history of mankind
may be placed economically and technologically beyond our reach for
the foreseeable future.

SETI, THE SEARCH FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE, NASA/JPL
400-265,

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — The telephone at the air traffic
control tower at Joe Foss Field was ringing off the wall early
Saturday with callers reporting a bright silver light in the
predawn sky.
There were so many calls that after a while, tower personnel
were answering their telephone with this greeting: “UFO Watch
Center.”
But it wasn’t a UFO. It was a 340-foot-tall high-altitude
balloon on a scientific experiment.
The balloon, launched Friday evening from Ainsworth, Neb., was
part of an experiment by the University of New Mexico and NASA to
gather anti-matter particles and investigate how stars evolved and
how they are changing, according to Bob Golden, an electrical
engineering professor at the Albuquerque, N.M., school
There hasn’t been much research into anti-matter, so not much is
known about the tiny particles, he said in an interview.
The unmanned balloon was 340 feet in diameter when inflated and
550 feet long when stretched out on the ground uninflated,
according to a worker at Raven Industries in Sioux Falls. The
balloon was made in Sioux Falls, the unidentified worker said.
The gondola was 15 feet high, 5 feet wide and had a 4,300-pound
payload, including a computer, according to Golden. A 12-member
NASA crew launched the craft. The ground team included researchers
from the Goddard Space Center in Maryland.
The balloon was expected to land Saturday, but scientists
weren’t sure where it would come to rest.
People in Sheldon and Sioux City, Iowa, reported seeing the
balloon, as did people in parts of Nebraska, authorities said.
Golden said it will take from three months to 12 months to
analyze the data gathered during the balloon flight and that the
results will be published in international scientific journals.
The balloon was so bright in the early morning sky because it
was high enough to reflect sunlight before the sun rose, he said.
The balloon, which also was visible in southwestern Minnesota,
was designed to rise to 120,000 feet, according to a statement from
the National Weather Service’s Sioux Falls office. The balloon
carried sensitive instruments to measure cosmic ray particles, the
NWS said.

The Wishing Well -or - Releasing The Butterfly of Chaos

by Frater Choronzon

The general function of a Wishing Well is understood from an early
age by most people. The user projects some required outcome of
events, or “wish” into the well, perhaps accompanied by a symbolic
financial donation, and waits for events to take their course.
Similar properties are attributed in popular tradition to acts of
cutting a birthday cake and breaking a wish-bone while devouting
certain species of poultry.

In every sense, the act of making a wish using any of the above
ritual props is a magical operation though experience suggest that
Wells tend to be more effective than both chicken bones and all but
the most esoterically decorated cakes in achieving the intended
result.

As of late, many Wishing Wells have been withdrawn from public
access; and, moreover, recent opinion polls have indicated high
levels of dissatisfaction with the scarcity of wish-fulfillment
opportunities, particularly among vegetarians. This paper attempts
some analysis of the dynamics involved in successful wish-making,
and offers a ritual procedure which readers may find useful pending
the launch of another “Wishing Well Withdrawal” from the public eye.

Anyone who has studied non-linear dynamics (or Chaos Mathematics) as
applied to the interaction of complex systems (for instance life-in-
general) will be aware of the extreme sensivity of such systems to
initial conditions. This is illustrated by the so called Butterfly
Effect; a model of the process by which a butterfly flapping its
wings on the Carribean Islands can set in train a series of
atmospheric interactions which may culminate, after some elapsed
time, in the occurence of a hurricane in London.

The hypothesis in this context is that the ritual act of making a
wish sets up initial conditions for a Chao/dynamic process which
culminates, after some elapse time, in the occurrence of whatever
event was the original objective of the wish; hence the subtitle
“Releasing the Butterfly of Chaos”. Atmospheric effects are often
synchronous with successful magickal operations as was observed, for
example, by those who were present for (or within earshot of) the
4,000 watt “Enochian Verse Recital” in South London, 17.30 Hrs,
Monday, 28 May, 1990; but where magic is concerned the atmospherics
are felt to be little more than by-products of casual sequence which
is primarily electromagnetic in character.

The actual process by which a successful wish is transformed into
its outcome is, of course, magic; at least in the sense that modern
TV receiver might be acknowledged as such by Agrippa or Abra-Melin
the Mage - Was there ever a more effective acrostic “for divers
visions” than an infrared remote control?

A detailed explanation of how the magical process appears to work
would fill a book (reasonable offers from reputable publishers
accepted); suffice it to say that no rewrite of either the Laws of
Physics or the Axioms of Mathematics is required, and to mention
that the Astrological elements of the hypothesis will form the
substance of a paper to be presented to a forth coming meeting of
the “Talking Stick”.

For the purpose of this exercise, the process may be appropriately
visualized by consideration of nothing more complicated than a
humble smoke-ring. In mathematical terms this is a Torus (a ring-
doughnut shaped structure) which has a clearly defined, coherent and
self-contained existence for an extended period within a
fundamentally chaotic matrix; ie. it can hung around for several
seconds retaining its structure in the turbulent air of a
smoke-filled room. Such ordered structures fall quite naturally out
of the Chaos Mathematics which models the behavior of gases and
liquids (Fluid Dynamics for the technically inclined). Examples of
such ordered structures in a chaotic environment abound, and not
only on this planet. The Great Red Spot on Jupiter, for instance,
has been in existence at least since Galileo observed it in 1610,
though the chaotic nature of that planets atmosphere was not
appreciated until the flypast of the Voyager spacecraft of 1979.

A perfect smoke-ring requires very little expenditure of energy to
be brought into existence, though that energy, in the form of a
controlled pulse of gas projected from its creator lips has to be
quite precise - ie. smoke-rings don`t always work, particular if
someone is watching, and the best ones of all usually happen quite
by accident! Significantly, the only way an observer can know if a
smoke-ring is there because it has smoke in it. If an identical
pulse of gas is projected from a non-smoker, the Toroidal ring
structure will be established in the just the same way within the
atmosphere, but its presence is almost impossible to detect, even
with the most sophisticated of scientific instruments.

The atmosphere is not the only chao/dynamic envelope surrounding our
planet; there also exists the magnetosphere, which we perceive at
ground level as the earths magnetic field. At present it exerts a
force which causes a compass needle to point approximately towards
the North Pole.

The magnetosphere extends out into so-called empty space well beyond
the atmosphere of the planet, and is anything but static in
character. Complete polarity reversals can occur. A record of these
is preserved in the sequence of North and South oriented volcanic
rocks which have been mapped in the ocean floor extending outwards
from mid-oceanic ridges, such as that which runs the lenght of the
Atlantic. The magnetosphere exhibits its own “weather” patterns
which, like the atmospheric weather, are driven primilarily by
radiation from the Sun/Solar Winds. Magnetic and electric storms
which affect TV and radio reception are a phenomena of
magnetospheric weather, and interaction between the magnetosphere
and the atmosphere can result in phenomena such as the Aurora
Borealis or Northern Lights. Other manifestations include ball-
lightning and St. Elmo`s fire.

The ritual procedure put forward here postulates a process whereby a
sudden pulse of electro-chemical energy, through an operators
nervous system, establishes a magnetic structure which is the
mathematical equivalent of a smoke-ring. It is suggested that this
can occur on the onset of orgasm or accompanying a powerful
martial-arts styled shout or KIAI, by a process akin to that of the
Faraday Induction described in any half-decent textbook. The
“magical” part of the process involves injecting a
flash-visualisation of the eventual desired outcome of the magneto-
smoke-ring as it is being established. The rest of the process of
wish fulfillment is left to the wondrous dynamics of Chaos. It may
be helpful for the operator to face towards the geographical
(magnetic) North Pole.

If performed as a solo working, this ritual may usefully be preceded
by a banishing and visualisation exercise. The ritual text is
written in the Enochian language of the angelic calls which were
devised or discovered by Dr. John Dee in the 16th Century. In the
sense that Enochian can be seen as a system of control (or cyber-)
language for “life, the universe, and everything” it has many of the
characteristics of a computer programming language. Among such
properties would be those of recursive self-reference (ie. the
ability to modify itself), and some of the phraseology of the
preamble to the ritual is designed to apply ideas developed by
Douglas Hoffstadter in his book Godel, Escher, Bach to the Enochian
language. Specifically, the text of the ritual should increase its
own potency with repetition.

After the Enochian preamble, the participant(s) should make a
vocalized statement of a “wish” or willed endpoint for the working,
at the same time strongly visualizing the desired outcome. This
“wish” may be of a benefic or malefic intent, but beware! the
Enochian preamble carries a force of personal honor, in wishes of a
dishonorable character they are likely to backfire.

The pre-climatic mantrum “Zarzas Zarzas Nasatanata Zarzas” is held
to be untranslatable. It is, by tradition, a formula which opens the
Gates of Hell or the Abyss; in this context it is used to invoke the
dynamic process of Chaos by which the wish can be fulfilled. Some
occult authorities, Crowley among them, assert that the Zarzas
formula is dangerous and advise against using it. Modern Chaos
magicians do not share that view and, besides having employed it for
years with no particular ills impacting the user, is consistently
been found to enhance the effectiveness of most categories of
magical working.

The final climatic KIAI may be shout such as that projected by a
martial arts practioner in the process of shattering a concrete
block (or someone`s sternum), or else an exaggerated cry of orgasmic
ecstasy. Prospective participants with orgiastic inclinations may
care to experiment with variant techniques to effect the final KIAI
exclamation which sets the magical “butterfly effect” process in
motion. For example, the Enochian couplet following the statement of
the wish might be committed to memory by operator of either gender,
and repeated while other participants stimulate that operator to a
frenzied pitch of ecstasy, culminating in the final KIAI. Such
variants are for the more experimentaly inclined, but it is the sort
of experiments which magicians of an unhibited frame of mind (or
body) may find it enjoyable to carry out as an end in itself. Any
feedback on results would be welcome!
