the Amen Break

“This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the “Amen Break,” a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music — a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison’s 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.”

Sign Of The Times?

“Gestures in Wiccan ritual can easily become second nature. When invoking the Goddess and the God, the hands can be held uplifted with the fingers spread to receive their power … The God is invoked with the first and fourth fingers up, the thumb holding down the others against the palm, to represent horns.” ["Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner", quoted by Dr. Cathy Burns, "Masonic And Occult Symbols Illustrated", Dr. Cathy Burns, p. 225].

What is the importance of hand gestures to the Satanist? “Gestures are used in Magic. Each finger relates to a specific planet as well as an ancient deity. Since pointing is a magical act and is a part of many spells, the finger can be chosen by its symbolism. The thumb relates to Venus and to the Planet, Earth. Jupiter (both the planet and the god) rules the forefinger. The middle finger is ruled by the god and planet Saturn (Satan) the fourth finer the Sun and Apollo, and the little finger by the planet Mercury …. Gestures are magical tools as potent as any other …”
