  • BE Aware of the Threefold Law with This Kind of Spell!
    Love Spells (BE aware of the threefold law with this kind of spell!) To obtain the love from a specific person At nighttime light a small fire in a cauldron or what ever you have available to contain the fire. Cut out a piece of paper that is 3 inches by 3 inches. Draw a heart on it and color it in with red. Write the name of the name of the person that you desire on the heart. While doing all this be thinking of this person being attracted to you and not being able to resist you! Think of his or her heart burning with desire for you just like the flames of the fire. Then kiss the name on the heart 3 times. Place the paper in the fire while saying these words 3 times. Do so with sincerity... "Fire come from below, bring me love that I do know, make my heart blaze and shine, to bring the love that will be mine!" Soon my love will come a day, three times strong and here to stay!" "SO MOTE IT BE!" Stay and meditate on the spell you just did, seeing it come true! After you are finished concentrating for a few minutes, extinguish the fire. Soon your love will come to you! Soulmate Dream Ritual Items: 3 almonds and 3 raisins - Milk - Honey Ritual: Put the almonds and raisins under your pillow. Before you go to bed, drink a cup of warm milk with a tsp. of honey then go to sleep. If you wonder if a certain person is your soulmate (“the” one) it will tell you in your dream.

  • “Blue Suede Shoes” a Film Script for Tasmanian Gothic Script Challenge, March 4-6, 2016
    “Blue Suede Shoes” a film script for Tasmanian Gothic Script Challenge, March 4-6, 2016. 1 INT. BEDROOM – MORNING STORY BEGINS with black image, silence. After a few seconds an unseen PELTON “PELVIS” WESLEY, 30s, overweight, is WAKING from sleep. As he grunts and snuffles, his MOTHER, 60-ish, shouts from somewhere distant in the house. MOTHER (O/S) (in distance, hard, rasping voice) Pelton! You still in bed, boy? Pelton! Time to move yourself! Unseen, Pelvis grunts and groans a little louder. PELVIS (V/O) (mumbling, groaning, sniffling) Ohhh! Errgh! Whazzat. Is the sun up already? Hell! INT. PELVIS’S MAN CAVE – LATER, SAME MORNING Semi-darkness. SOUND of a DOOR OPENING, and CLICK of a LIGHT SWITCH. Subdued light FLICKERS on. The room is an homage to Elvis Presley. Photos and posters of Elvis, artefacts, clothing and bric-a-brac are spread throughout – LP and 45rpm records, movie DVDs, cassettes, CDs, pop books, magazines, Elvis toys, dolls and games, and a photo propped up of Pelvis wearing 1970s Elvis garb outside Gracelands, bearing the inscription, “To Pelvis Wesley, with fond regards, Graceland Foundation”. One of the Elvis objects in the room is a small, white model coffin with a closed lid, with miniature golden grip bars. The coffin is raised on a little dais, and around it are blobs of plastic flowers. This all sits on a shelf display. Small LIGHT GLOBES point down towards the coffin. These lights are off. As we move in for a closer view, Pelvis’s hands reach towards the coffin – we can see the edges of sequinned shirt sleeves at his wrists.

  • WDAM Radio's History of Elvis Presley
    Listeners Guide To WDAM Radio’s History of Elvis Presley This is the most comprehensive collection ever assembled of Elvis Presley’s “charted” hit singles, including the original versions of songs he covered, as well as other artists’ hit covers of songs first recorded by Elvis plus songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis! More than a decade in the making and an ongoing work-in-progress for the coming decades, this collection includes many WDAM Radio exclusives – songs you likely will not find anywhere else on this planet. Some of these, such as the original version of Muss I Denn (later recorded by Elvis as Wooden Heart) and Liebestraum No. 3 later recorded by Elvis as Today, Tomorrow And Forever) were provided by academicians, scholars, and collectors from cylinders or 78s known to be the only copies in the world. Once they heard about this WDAM Radio project, they graciously donated dubs for this archive – with the caveat that they would never be duplicated for commercial use and restricted only to musicologists and scholarly purposes. This collection is divided into four parts: (1) All of Elvis Presley’s charted U S singles hits in chronological order – (2) All of Elvis Presley’s charted U S and U K singles, the original versions of these songs by other artists, and hit versions by other artists of songs that Elvis Presley recorded first or had a cover hit – in chronological order, along with relevant parody/answer tunes – (3) Songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis Presley – mostly, but not all in chronological order – and (4) X-rated or “adult-themed” songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis Presley.

Again, Blackwell reluctantly agreed to share a writing credit with Elvis, or else Elvis' management including Colonel Parker and music publishers Hill and Range would not have allowed him to record the tune. Leiber and Stoller are noted for structuring their songs like playlets. From infancy until our last days, our minds constantly produce dreams while our bodies are at rest. If you built a shed out of some old boards over the course of a single weekend, you might be able to sally forth unscathed in a week or so. The three met during the April recording session for "Jailhouse Rock," and Leiber and Stoller quickly changed their minds about Elvis once they realized he knew his music and that he was a workhorse in the studio. Take a look at the revealing information in this article about dreams. I don't know—am I being too metrosexualphobic? Heaven forbid other people agree on that front. He used a more relaxed vocal style and higher key for "That's All Right" than Crudup had. It speaks to the way the fans felt about Elvis, and it was his love song to them. It also reached number one on the country-western and rhythm-and- blues charts. In the following pages, you'll find the stories behind some of Elvis' most celebrated tunes. Everything you describe is fascinating and also completely self-defeating and purposeless.

  • Introducing Elvis Presley
    Chapter 1 Introducing Elvis Presley In This Chapter ▶ Outlining Elvis’s place in American history ▶ Summarizing Elvis’s life ▶ Tracking Elvis’s popularity from beginning to end n the one hand, Elvis Presley needs no introduction, because his name Oand face are recognized around the world as the ultimate celebrity. Imitators re-create his act; late-night comedians joke about him; cable chan- nels rerun his movies; and merchandisers exploit his image on everything from T-shirts to lamps. On the other hand, the reasons for his fame have become lost in the trappings of celebrity, especially for younger generations born after his death on August 16, 1977. For the original fans, who have remained loyal for over 50 years, Elvis earned his reputation as the King of Rock ’n’ Roll; for others, discovering why he deserved his fame and a place in American cultural history may be a revelation. In this chapter, I introduce you to Elvis Presley through the high points of his life and career, including his post-death popularity. This chapter sets up an extensive exploration of Elvis Presley — the cultural icon — that details the events of his life, explains the significance of his music, and contemplates his meaning to American pop culture. COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL Identifying a Cultural Icon Almost everyone knows that Elvis Presley was a famous singer, but many people don’t fully understand what he contributed to popular music to earn his widespread fame. Elvis combined different types of music to form a style called rockabilly, which became one of the key sounds in rock ’n’ roll.
