Convocation: Two Faced Bastards
February 7, 2008 – 10:16 pmNow this is funny. Did you know that one of Convocation’s presenters / teachers of this year planned and conducted my murder in effigy? Ok, maybe it wasn’t a murder in effigy. Maybe I am being an extremist. Maybe the 80 rounds fired into my effigy from an assault rifle was just a gentle nudge.
Oh now this is funny. You might recall the president of MEC canceling my contract and merchant tables at this year’s Convocation stating that my path was clearly in violation of their Mission Statement. He later clarified stating that it was the symbolic violence that he thought I was planning for an event at The Real Witches Ball (a separate event). Despite my never claiming violence or even simulated violence was planed, the president choose to believe rumors that I was planning on burning images of the Frosts. Despite the event being held in doors at a hotel and convention center, I believe people jumped to this conclusion because the ritual (written by survivors of rape, incest, and molestation) was titled A Sacrifice to Caring. You might recall news bits about an organization called the Bohemian Grove which reportedly conducts a bonfire called The Sacrifice of Cares where they name a doll “cares” and then visualize the cares of the world being lifted by the flames or some such thing. So, being the paranoid type I figured what was really going on was that Convocation and MEC simply do not like folk who make waves. I was strongly protesting the Frost’s and what I find to be a pedophilic instructional, that makes waves. So I had to be sent a message. Sound paranoid doesn’t it? Enter Jill Medicine Heart, speaker at his year’s Convocation.
What Convocation isn’t telling you is that Jill Medicine Heart has not only strongly defended Gavin and Yvonne Frost, but solicited the help of members of one of Circle Sanctuary’s mailing list in that defense. Specifically in the staged violent execution of yours truly. Now this wasn’t a rumor. It wasn’t a misunderstanding.
Jill Marie Combs (Medicine Heart’s legal name), the former Vice President of CUUPS and current Regional Coordinator of the Ohio Valley Pagan Pride Project Inc. Not only did she publicly state that her little ritual involved created an effigy and “firing 80 rounds into” it, but she further explained her reasons as: “I despise Fundie Pagans who think that their First Amendment rights should infringe on how an organization should run—“ Later she publicly thanked the members of Circle Sanctuary’s email list saying: “Thank you everyone for your support in some serious magickal workings that have been occurring over an issue that is dear to my heart, Pagan Pride. I had to reach into some deep dark recesses and call upon a few dark forces to help me out– This isn’t my normal kind of magick to perform either– but dammit, you don’t muck with my pagan family!” So lets sum up. I protest what I find to be pedophilic instructions in the name of Wicca by informing Pagan Pride Project International that their events and events by a similar name are promoting Gavin and Yvonne Frost. I stage a protest at an event I host. Jill Medicine Heart / Marie Combs makes an effigy of me, fires 80 rounds of ammunition into it from an assault rifle, brags about it. Where was I? Oh ye. So my contract with Convocation is canceled because they feel I violate their Mission Statement with my protest but Jill Marie Combs, well she is a featured speaker. Does anyone really think something other than what they say is going on? Does anyone else think they are two faced bastards?

Two faced?
I think it’s a seriously dysfunctional organization that would defend a perverted and cruel ritual to deflower and mutilate young children with an atlatl. I went to their website and gave them the link that proved that their ‘baton de commandment’ wasn’t a deflowering device, but an atlatl. There’s a picture in the caves of altimira of it being used as a SPEAR THROWER. A Frost supporter said that “it didn’t prove anything”. The Fros’t of course said NOTHING.
This says to me, that it’s more of a priority to preserve child molestation in the Frost’s version of religion that acknowledging the truth right in front of them.
It’s what abusers do, they defend their actions with whatever lies and bullshit they can come up with.
The defense of the Frost’s is sickening.
What that woman did to your effigy is sickening.
That CUUPS defends and has this obviously sick woman teaching religion sounds kinda like those Mormons who forcibly marry their young girls to older men, like Jim Jones and his followers. It’s not a religion any more, it’s become a cult movement.

I would think this to be a great embarrassment for not only Convocation but also for MEC for their mission statement says this year that they will not promote violence.
MEC Mission Statement for ConVocation
Our Mission:
“This organization is established for the following purpose: to create community by promoting the sharing of knowledge, experience, and fellowship among people who follow mystical and esoteric traditions.
In order to promote community, we do not include those paths or traditions whose doctrines advocate bigotry and or violence against others on any basis including but not limited to race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or religion.”
It seems that MEC and Convocation do have double standards.

Suzume - I can not go so far as to say that Convocation supports the Frosts. They gave me the boot claiming it was because I condoned some sort of symbolic violence.
On the Frosts and the baton de commandment, I honestly do not understand why the Frost supporters think that the Frost’s claim matters. The book describes the creation of the dildos with dowel rod and nylon. Nylon being a post modern invention. The book was subtitled “How to practice the Oldest Religion”, hence it was an instructional. Further, they knew what they were advising was illegal and provided recommendations which would decrease legal exposure to not only charges of sex with a minor, but the responsibility of child support should a girl become pregnant. All contained in that book.
I think Convocation is two faced because the excuse they used to boot me is obviously fabricated considering what their other speakers have announced publicly (my murder in effigy). But I am not really ready to say that their motivation in being two faces was support for the Frosts. Sure, that is one possibility but right now my jaw is still too slack to make a guess at what their motivation can be.
I will say that in the past, they had the Frosts speak and last year I spoke against the Frosts at the event. Shortly after that and long before any mention of the ritual at RWB, Jane suggested I not attend due to my disability. So maybe my presentation about the Frosts at last year’s Convocation put it into motion. I just do not know.
Rhiannon - It seems? Oh honey, they are two faced bastards. The type of folk warned about by the religions of the Norsemen, Native Americans, and many many other ancient cultures which depended on honesty. I wish I could remember the Norse word for this sort of conduct.

That event at The Bohemian Grove is not even a real ritual. It’s a play that the Bohemian Club stage to entertain the Global Elite.

Anonymous - Now that comment makes me think of something very fun. People in the counter culture seem fond of saying that President Bush wants to force his Christian agenda on the world. However, when the story of the Bohemian Grove’s Sacrifice of Cares surfaced; the other counter culture chimed in. You know, Conspiracy Theory Christian counter culture folk. Yes, they really exist. They are a tiny fringe of Christianity, but they are real. These are the same type of folk who demanded that if President Kennedy were elected that he Pope would run the United States of America.
In the case of the discovery that the current US President was a member of the Bohemian Grove and attended the Sacrifice of Cares; this fringe group created a conspiracy theory about how President Bush was really a heathen / pagan who wanted to take over the United States of America for his heathen / pagan gods. My jaw nearly dropped. I’d never seen him at any of the lodge meetings.
Oh well, glad to know that me and Pinky are now hob knobbing with rich guys. Got a dollar?
