I think it just might be the Chocolate Zombie Bunny from ThinkGeek.
With the Ostara bunny representing the fertility of the coming spring, the chocolatl from the Mayan tradition, and resurrection of the dead found in Christianity – you arrive at a perfect cultural fusion for the season.
They do warn, however, that consuming this product “may or may not infect you with a zombie virus”.
There’s always a down side.
The Light of Sex: Initiation, Magic, and Sacrament
, by Maria de Naglowska, has been translated from the French with an introduction by Donald Traxler, and will be published by Inner Traditions later this month.
From the publisher:
Never before available in English, The Light of Sex expounds the tenets of the revolutionary religious system conceived by Maria de Naglowska–Russian mystic, occultist, esoteric high priestess, rumored lover of Julius Evola, and self-styled “Satanic Woman” of 1930s Paris. Centered on what she called the Third Term of the Trinity, in which the Holy Spirit of the classic Christian trinity is recognized as the divine feminine, her practices aim to bring about a reconciliation of the light and dark forces in nature through the union of the masculine and feminine. Revealing the spiritually transformative power of sex, she shows how–through mystic sexual practices and veneration of the feminine spirit–growth of the soul, regeneration of the world, and enlightenment of humankind can be achieved.
This mystic treatise and guide to the sexually charged rituals that were a cause célèbre in 1930s Paris was required reading for those seeking to be initiated into Naglowska’s magical group La confrérie de la Flèche d’Or [The Brotherhood of the Golden Arrow]. It reveals Naglowska to be a powerful visionary, whose psychic powers were legendary, and an important figure in the continuing evolution of the Western Mystery tradition.
This is the first in a series of titles to be translated from this author. I look forward to reading this when it becomes available.
Ashley Naftule will be performing a new solo show, “As Above, So Below”.
From the description:
Virgins. The power of names. The occult. What do these 3 things have in common (aside from being the main components in a Hammer film blood sacrifice)? They’re the subject matters tackled in “As Above”, the story of one man’s struggle with cruel fate, superstitutions, awkward S&M house parties, inebriated lap dances, nerds, and being a virgin at the not-so-tender age of 27.
Showing at Modified Arts until Sunday, at the Phoenix Fringe Festival, tickets are only 10$US.
Ashley’s written for ahrfoundation.org before, a review of Datura.
