This article explains why I have made a change to my 2025 offerings - specifically, the removal of bindrunes: 

“From rune megaphones to the number 88: Australia’s [n_ z_s] have a new look after swastikas banned”   https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/sep/13/rune-megaphone-number-88-australia-neo-nazi-symbols-after-swastikas-banned-ntwnfb      

Some brief explanation on that page as well. 

 

PS - additional comments from a Pagan perspective 

I am one of those Pagans who accepts the reality of reincarnation (which is slightly different from the Buddhist concept of rebirth in matters such as choice, time between lives, etc).  

I am also a human who has seen the power of propaganda - particularly on those who are unsure of themselves, want a sense of purpose but have no (or inadequate/flawed) ethics, or place social status (including acceptability, belonging, etc) at the top of their values list (which is often done unconsciously, as with many bigotries). 

In the case of those people who have experienced a lot of those imperfect human desires being ... catered for in a previous life, possibly n_ z_ Germany of the 1930s, possibly the USSR, possibly even as far back as the blood thirsty, ultra-violent & ultra-toxic masculinity soaked and unrestrained Roman Empire, they may be like an addict, and respond to similar such events if they have not grown as a being in the intervening time period. 

Fortunately, most people DO grow, but some don't - they, in modern parlance, "double down" from life to life, seeking, like an addict, to get that same high.  

The reduction in numbers from time era to time era as a result of people doing that personal/spiritual growth work is shown by the numbers of people who had fought on the eastern front of World War Two who reincarnated in to the Iran-Iraq war being substantially less. 

The recurrence of psychological techniques that have worked shows that some are doubling down. 

They don't need to be big numbers to do damage - that has been shown here in Melbourne, this year in the  USA, and over the centuries since the demise of the Roman Empire by the active social engineering of neochristianity and the ultra-elites of society, which has been so successful and pervasive that attempts at decency (such as ending slavery, ending bigotry, and ensuring true democracy) are mis-labelled as social engineering by those who are active, unthinking sock puppets of evil. 

They are vehement, vocal, and violent - they are, spiritually, addicts seeking another hit. 

And they need to firstly be prevented from doing more harm, and secondly treated - they need whatever is most likely to make them receptive to healing in-between lives, as well as in this and future lives (and that requires societies to change, to be genuinely caring about the psychological wellbeing of those in that society, and to identify and keep out of power those who aren't suitable for power). 

Banning devices such asotheocrookedosw_s t_kaois an important part of that, as is applying the "no notoriety" principle (and this principle - stopping violence as early as possible so they don't get their high). So too is positive (i.e., active) building of and supporting BPM versions of life and personal meaning (not consumerism or landlordism!!!), and addressing (not punishing - and definitely not suppressing) mental health problems. 

So too is denying those addicts their "highs".  

Try not to let them see your fear; don't give them publicity; don't treat what they are saying as serious or "worthy" of consideration - see here. 

And don't stop too early or fail to be unrelenting: the people we are dealing with are addicts - flawed, manipulated into being addicts, in need to restraint from harming others, and in need of the same sustained effort as any other addict. 

 

Another point here is cutting such addicts off from others, and from reinforcement. Ideally, for pacifist reasons, films that glorify violence would not be in existence. However, those that promote the Allied cause in World War Two without being jingoistic MIGHT be helping to break the addiction by presenting an alternative. 

The other part of that problem is that too many police are authoritarian (which is a different facet of the same set of flaws), and that, here in Melbourne, may be why police have been, in effect, protecting n_ z_ protestors and being so willing to rough up counter protestors - an unconscious recognition of similarity. 

Ironically, the small number of violent counter-protestors are also afflicted with the same set of flaws, and both sets of people need the same management of their psychic/psychological addictions.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
