Everybody pick a patron diety!

It's Halloween! A perfect day for it!

It can be ANYTHING; a comic book character, a creature from science-fiction, a mythological hero, a character from the tarot deck, a corporate spokesperson (i.e. Ronald Mc Donald, etc.).

The only limitations are the ones you place on your own imagination!

But, choose wisely.

Here's mine! It's Thoth!!! The most bad-assed Ancient Egyptian god of time, science, books, writing, and magick!



I enhanced the original graphic for extra-magickal / sooper devotional POWERZ!!

This is NOT a joke. You can pray to your patron deity and stuff and it'll aid you in your time of need! It's called invocation and it's similar to the Catholic notion of picking a patron saint when you're confirmed. Whether it is psychological, magickal or a combination of the two isn't what's important.

"Invocation can refer to taking on the qualities of the being invoked, such as the allure of Aphrodite or the ferocity of Kali. In this instance the being is literally called up from within oneself (as an archetype) or into oneself (as an external force), depending on the personal belief system of the invoker."

BONUS-O-RAMA-LAMA-LUTION!!!

Be SURE to read Punkle's latest literary, Halloween-themed offering entitled "An Important Halloween Discovery". In the immortally paraphrased words of Sam Shepard, "It's a good story, 'cause it's troo...TROO to LIFE!"
