People gonna notice this.
Extreme ain't the word.
Courthouses into pagan temples is the word.
 
 

Hippie Revolution made Simple

Our gods are not the equal of yours, for ours are real and yours imagined.
Ours have substance you can feel and taste, yours the ghost of ashes.

Drug use is rightfully neither a legal nor a medical question.
It is, as it has always been, the biggest religious issue.
This truth transcends your personal denial, that you take drugs only for fun,
as you are more than you know.
The drug war is monotheism fighting paganism.
Overwhelming documentary evidence shows polytheists prefer drug ritual,
but concrete proof of our faith extends before writing.

Put it right in their faces:
Allowing no goddesses, you lie about religious toleration.
The drug war is religious inquisition.
We will have our goddesses and our dope, both the same thing, despite your cruelty.
Reconsider your ways, we can show you how.

Public paganism is your price for peace.
The world doesn't go all your way.
Your theories are too ugly to expose.
Satanism is another facet of monotheism,
equally unwelcome in Pagan company.
Don't get confused by your own phantasms.
Don't lie about our worship, else sorrow will be your fate.
A word to the wise, to avoid the sorrow.
Devil worshippers get banished from our temples.
We don't need to put up with perversity.
We can tell who our own people are,
but diabolists are just another kind of heretical Christian.
Don't say we worship the Devil, for we'll make you eat those words.

Courthouses into Pagan Temples is the plan,
decisively executed immediately.
Plenty of time to talk about it when you get settled in.
The rest of what you do becomes part of history,
made in the breaking of history.

I knew if I thought long enough,
I would come up with something easy enough to do that
people would say, "Let's do it."
The splendor of such a brief formula is that it springs into timeless context.

That makes it inevitable once the word comes, which presses immediacy.
I know the ways in which my people can be stirred to move, though few remember.
It's only another turn of the wheel.
Let's call a demonstration down at the court house, but this time for good.
We can do that, we know how.

Deeming dope smoking a character flaw just denotes your religious prejudice.
Our morality compares favorably to yours.
Get over it.

You marginalize a people
by depriving them of their civil rights and persecuting them systematically.
Criminality is sheer definition expressing religious prejudice for monotheism.
We never did anything bad, but you falsely said we did, to lie for Jesus.
We are here to set the record straight.
We want all your prisoners, and some dope to get us started.
This is tha apocalypsse of polytheism.
Welcome to our celebration.

Those who expect favor from the courts stand to lose as they halt.
More people, however, expect only loss therein.
Thus the absence of the courts benefits more people, than come to detriment by it.
People may decide the temple is better to have.
Regardless, we must free ourselves this way, being left no other escape.
Come to grips with our issue, for we offer resolution.
Your view of the future has been far too grim, you need stimulation.

To you, the drug war is just a rumor.
We played dead long enough, but we're really live people.
Don't hit us another blow, starting right now.
Justice is larger than your looking.
Being too narrow to recognize goddesses is out now, and you were wrong.
Sorry you're disappointed, but it's our turn now.
Forget there was a court house here, for the good it will do you.
You don't have any old claims pending here now.

OK, let's start getting these supplies down to the Temple.
We want barbed wire, we want miles of it.
We want cranes, to string out our helicopter web between these buildings.
(Get the Chief of Police back on, to see if we can arrange prisoner transfer.)
We would do best right now to restrict air travel in this immediate vicinity,
or at least prevent easy access to street level.
Deterring hostilities of happenstance or misunderstanding is mere wisdom.
When the citizens see the wires, they will know we've moved in.
Capitulation is implicit, as attendance on the Temple starts.

Did you lose any rights?
Do you want to vote on anything?
Were you seeking a decision in your favor; is that what is urgent to you?
People are hurting our people and we don't have to take that any more.
This is the only way to make that stop.

What's wrong here?
Your grandfathers thought they knew everything
but their ignorance was more important than their knowledge.
They knew taking drugs was a recreation, a jolly diversion,
an escape from the dollars and cents which made up reality.
They didn't know taking drugs was a sacrament, a spiritual act,
part of the most ancient religion of human kind.
So suddenly when they saw the greatest religious revival of history,
they thought it was an explosion of vice.
They were wrong, and this mistake has ruined the rest of the world they built.
Their church wasn't a leisure time activity, it wasn't recreational.
Since they weren't playful about it,
it could not grow into a vice and become a crime.
They missed the biggest religious movement of all time, by their blindness.
That's what's wrong here.

Our ancient religion worships with what you call drug substances.
While your God was in diapers, our Goddess let us smoke.
Now quit shoving.
Most of your captives are our faithful, so we will take them all, and today would be fine.
Just bring them down to the Temple, and we will take them in charge.
Your service is appreciated.

In what sense is a Pagan Temple a fair exchange for a Court House?
When the public perceives it is more equitable in administration, their tensions will ease.
The interface is much more pleasant.
"What is your business at the Court House?" is a rude question.
Inquiries concerning Temple attendance temd to be more polite and circumspect.

Cold Boot for the World

We are your oldest and truest religion and we're not finished with you.
Taking over the court house is the old sanctioned militia behavior.
It gets legal right away.
Name changes for the facilities are certainly in order.
At that point the general social overturn becomes inevitable.
The threshold of irreversible commitment,
some Rubicon River of collective humanity, has been crossed.
Every plan of every person is torn up.
We have to start everything over.

Ours is no sinister purpose.
People knew we meant to go downtown and hang around a little while around the court-house.
Neither court-house nor temple is where you want to go to do anything sneaky.
No way was left that we could be heard.
Now pay attention.

We all decided to go down to the court house, and have a party, and bring the people from jail.
So we idi, and people did everywhere, and that was all there was to the revolution.
We figured we did that pretty good, so we decided to stay,
and painted "Pagan Temple" above the courthouse door.
That made us official party headquarters downtown, so we got a lot of crowds around,
and we could move them wherever we wanted to get our way.
We knew just what this job of work was like, we're the old pros.
In a way, though, we didn't know what we had to do until we did it.
We were confident we would do what was needed, right on time.

We are the old ones of your people.
We are not here to frighten you.
We are here to help you.
We love you.
We need to show you what to do now, because you couldn't figure it out in time.
See how it has been hidden from you?
Secrets make the best surprises.
A surprise legacy, you own unexpected heritage.

Halting the legal process informs the public,
that the old regime no longer determines the future.
The wildfire spread of this movement to global proportions overnight
reinforces claims to divine commission.
The worshippers with substances could not achieve tolerance before asserting dominance,
so at deepest moral levels this Conversion must be considered an activity in self defense,
of our persons as well as our culture.
It does help, that we know how to save the world from suicidal folly.
That merits some consideration.

Yes, since we were asked, we will step in and save the world.
The preliminary conversion process applies predominantly to political centers,
to freeze legal procedures and show judgment can be reciprocal.
The temple administers more merciful and circumspect penalties, no doubt,
but does not do so out of weakness.
We feel like we know what we're doing.
It's a lot like the first time we took over the world, a few ages back.
This time it's for the money.
We better be good enough, because we're the best.

You write "Pagan Temple" over the courthouse door, and raise the hemp banner.
Bring in the detainees and ask them to help staff and guard the building and environs.
Then, while you keep the drugs flowing and crowds surging,
you will retain effective control of the parish in peace.

We have some things to show, little toe-taps of the steps of our ways.
We are frisky and we love the free and wild.
And we know some things,
which you might as well assume we speak from ancient wisdom,
just about as we claim.
Things you didn't know before,
but we can prove who did know them, and when.

Drug tests on mummies fully support transoceanic and transcontinental trafficking
in sacred substances in prehistoric times.
We did that as a prosylitizing technique.
Our religion specialized in this stimulated conversion.
We beat everybody, while cutting hardly anybody.
This is the event we built up through the ages, to ensnare our enemies.
Sorry if you didn't see it coming.
Maybe some people weren't supposed to know.
The point is, it works for us, so we work it.

Call them to the Temple with sweet smoke,
and they will free the captives and rescind the debts.
Then the work starts on the perpetual party.
Life can be celebration.
The natural world is yet repairable.
Let's fix it, because nobody else can.
We are the only people here with the gift of wisdom.

People think we're weird, well we got news.
We're sublime.
You just never knew who we are.
Gray ways repel us, muting our colors.

The worshippers will go wherever the dope is,
so concentrating the traffic in the Temples coheres substantist strength.
Temples dedicate the facilities full time,
and do not share time with judges.
We keep a live staff on hand,
guarding the plants outside.
We keep in touch with all the other Temples to organize the affairs of the world.

The sacred plants must flourish by the Temple,
which was a court house.
It's important to the symbolism.
This is the substantist future.
This way we can save the wild world.
That is of fundamental importance.
The free and wild give life to the tame and civil.
Do not neglect that fact, which is vital.
Let us make our Temples where they belong, at the court house buildings.
At last, we will have our rites.
The fun will be outrageous.
The outrage will be the most fun.
Convert, then convert the world.
Do it.

We are the old ones haunting you with stories half told.
We're pretty real in coming forth with the other half stories.
Humans need the lesson we are bringing.
We meant you to know this at the right time.
Sieze the time.

We are your good old Chaldees, the Magi.
We wrote the book on religious transformations.
That's a pretty long book, and we're still writing it.
We can tell you if you do this, then that will be the result,
you will be saved from doom.
You may decide whether to believe it,
and whether that is what you want.

We are the Wicca, the wise ones.
If you want wisdom, turn to our counsel.
The path is brighter than the gray ones have shown you.
Turn your feet to the deosil circle and stop the ruin of the world.
Be there or be square.
Bring your favorite potions.
This celebration should last a long time.
Bring the jubilee.

It will work the first time,
because it triggers a chain reaction in other comunities.
A plan stated in a sentence is an easy word to pass.
All will flip into an alternative stable state practically overnight.
Remember we did all this before, a few millenia ago.
We are the ones who can tell you how it's done.
Help make the past different.

A rapid social transformation, affecting all immediately,
by moral force without warfare, is all you can ask of a glorious revolution.
Thus a change in symbolism emamates to affect reality
in the most puissantr transfiguration.
This fromulation is most free of blood of any practical working.
A design goal is reduced violence levels.
You do have to show up for this to be achieved.
Critical mass means numbers.

A lot of people had to work really hard down through the ages to bring you
this surprise inheritance.
This inheritance is not genetic but spiritual.
We should be the leaders now, so just believe it.
We had a lot of suffering and hardship but the time to end it is here.
You didn't know just who you were until we told you.
Now we call you out, and you know what to do.
Take over from the monotheists, because they won't fight.
They won't begin to guess what hit them.
They haven't got enough imagination.
We wrote their dreams.

Courthouses into polytheist Temples.
It's poetic justice.
You go down there and raise your Temple banner,
with enough near to stifle initial resistance,
then coordinate your levies from the prison.
Not all dopers will become polytheists,
but those who attend the Temples will.
Since their actions will determine the future,
history will hear them best.
Supply factors will reduce the force of unconverted monotheist dopers,
making their squawks grow fainter with time.

All that is needed to incite a spontaneous mobilization of dopers,
is the word that it's happened somewhere else.
We've worked this maneuver before.
Our religion is experienced in troop movements.
The most effective army is the one the adversary didn't see.
Multitudes joining from captivity is a time-tested way for rapidly assembling armies,
though Temple militia better describes their pacificistic duties.
It also happens to be fair by military ethics,
though doubtless startling to the opposition.
Victory means no dishonor.
Words have these powers.

As Druids, we were the brains of the proto Indo-European expansion.
We know the magick of words.
We proclaim to you that the world can be saved by renaming the Court House to be a Temple.
That is what we know of the power in a name.
We are bringing all our proofs.

The formula isn't hard to follow:
First raise the Temple banner at the courthouse,
then go to the prisons and bring back the captives.
Logistics enucleates organization from that point.

It is well for the plan to include rapid development and unlimited spread of our apotheosis.
Short duration for the Conversion process,
yields less confrontation and minimal violence from incumbent regimes.
The revolution may be assured worldwide in days,
and complete soon thereafter.
Fait accompli is a convincing argument.
This formula is replicating,
spontaneously self-organized on enucleation,
meaning it will spread throughout the world.
Defended Temples downtown will enlighten the populace on the sea change
in perception of future reality.
Resurgent polytheism refutes monotheist planning.
It had to come.

Try fielding an army to fight against the hemp banner.
Tough work, isn't it?
Those soldiers are ours.
Bad news for you.
We can change your plans as we will and we mean to change every one.
As scryers, seers and prognosticators, monotheists have struck out.
We have no room for their intended futures, founded on fear and greed.
Our religious conversion will save the world from the follies of our predecessors.

Enthusiasm is the key.
The eagerness of the substance worshipper to exonerate persecuted conduct,
and free belief, will draw adherents to the Temples
in numbers adequate to generate social controls, assuring regional tranquility.
It will work. We're taking over.
Courthouses to Temples. Organization follows.
Our religion will receive its toleration.
We will triumph by our achievement.

Is it not fitting, that the courthouses where we were enslaved,
should be turned into Temples for us?
Does this future astonish you?
Did you think true change was impossible?

We took over the world just before the invention of writing.
We can prove that, it's the salient fact of prehistory.
We are ready to take our turn again now.
Monotheists are boring madmen who messed up the world with fear and greed.
We're better.

Church of the Substantive Rites.
We're not monotheists,
because infinity is forbidden in a temporal universe.
(Where finitude rules, plurality is probable,
in theogony as in ontology, for singularities are static.)
We have time for goddesses and gods,
so we are polytheists.
Transubstantiation makes our deities and their dediicated substances the same.
The gods are in the dope.

A Scythian arrow pierced the throat of Cyrus the Great,
and an Amazon fired it.
Some Scots were buried in a Chinese desert wearing plaid tartans.
Did you want to see kilts and sporrans too?
The Druids are our people.
They are Celts, and so are Scythians.
Don't get hung up on genealogy, for we have our Western Hemisphere lineage to consider,
and all Africa.
The Pharoahs of Egypt worshiped our way.
Our home is all around the world.
