	EXAMPLE RITUAL MAGIC (COERCING THE GODS)

		1) Obtain Dangerous Material

		   in our case, a powerful book of spells


		2) Threaten Its Use/Release/Dispersion

		   in our case, dissemination of the most caustic,
	           extracted, to powerful media devices, unless 
		   the health of my poodlay Rainbow improves

		 A) Extract the Nastiest Spells and Forge the Link

		    as a magical link, write this index on the
		    infirm canine's medical records, bills, or
		    prescriptions, as well as on subscription
		    cards for major media publications and the
		    religious cards (photos, etc.) of those you
		    deem to have spiritual authority and power.

		 B) Wait and Observe Rainbow's Health

		    watch for tell-tale signs of improved health.
		    consider whether her present condition is in
		    some way related to the actions of the gods
		    (say, if she is no longer on supportive meds
		    like Prednazone).

	        3) In the Case of Illness
 
		   if she doesn't improve, distribute these
		   spells to public forums (in your own words,
		   so no copyright infringement may be claimed).

		4) In the Case of Canine Improvement

		   if you're a Black Magician (tm) or are allied
		   with any Bad Guys that do exist, then you may,
		   of course, wish to distribute these spells to
	           public forums anyway. }:> 
     NOTE:
           Such a coercive act of extortion against the gods 
	   would be roughly the opposite of mass-charitable 
	   work by large religious institutions, especially 
	   those who seek to serve and placate the potentially 
	   angry gods with magic spells *they* (the priests) 
	   may distribute to heal the People.

thus ends our example. note the importance of direct connection
to the interested parties, the numerous cosmological and metaphysical
presuppositions necessary to energize or significate and seal the
spell as it is created.  

the Doggess yet lives. long lives the gods!
