King Kamehameha Day

In case you're wondering, King Kamehameha Day is celebrated in honour of the king who unified all the islands of Hawaii. My Chemistry teacher rocks! He treated the class to coffee today at Dôme. It cost him $82, $70 for coffee and $12 for fries. He's damn nice, because he was treating us for the most mundane reason - Common Test 1's over! Can't imagine what he'll do when the 'O' Levels are over...

Anyway, I was reading a chapter of The French Executioner entitled Black Mass. Boy was the Catholic Church corrupt back then! The fictitious archbishop held a Black Mass involving the six-fingered hand of Anne Boleyn. I thought the invocation was cool. I'm not into Satanism or anything, but I think the invocation was just interesting. For your edification, I present to you the invocation used in the book. I sure hope I don't get sued over copyright...

Toad and the stool

Which he cowers under,

Brain of bat

With head split asunder

Stir it into

Satan's broth,

Sacrifice

To conjure Thoth

Hemlock and henbane,

Belladona, nightshade,

Opium for dreams

God has not made

Stir it into

Satan's broth,

Sacrifice

To conjure Thoth

Mandrake shaped

Like the nub of man,

Shroud from a plague pit,

Courtesan's fan

Stir it into

Satan's broth,

Sacrifice

To conjure Thoth

Tooth of tiger,

Silver adder's tongue,

Entrails of she-wolf

That never had young

Stir it into

Satan's broth,

Sacrifice

To conjure Thoth

Blood from baby

Torn from mother's hug,

Churchyard earth

From grave new dug

Stir it into

Satan's broth,

Sacrifice

To conjure Thoth
