South Africa: May 2009
http://stensbys.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 7, 2009. 8220;Tele2, you’re speaking to Teletubby. May I help you? 8220;Tele2, you’re speaking to Teletubby. May I help you? Like in hollow sound. Knock knock, who’s there…? Shake shake… nothing in there but empty space! Yesterday I managed to cancel my contract with Tele2. It might not seem like such an achievement… for such a trivial thing. Nevertheless, it took me 10 years. Years back, I had this contract with the added service;. 8220;favourite country”. 8220;favourite country”,. Even wi...

A Shaman Reporting to Hecate. Mostly. October 25, 2016. Well, no, and it’s still. Not Halloween in a few days. It’s still Beltane, here in the Southern Hemisphere, but I’ve just about given up pointing that out to most people. I’ve had to conclude that either South Africans of the middle-and-upward classes don’t know what season it is, or they’re unaware of the significance of the ages-old celebration of the start of Winter. At this time, the ancestors and the little folk – those of other realms an...

A Shaman Reporting to Hecate. Mostly. January 22, 2015. Really feeling the dream-like nature of this plane last night – in part probably because of my illness and the medication I’m taking for it – I paused in a life review and sat up in bed. Here I’d just like to urge anyone following a conscious path to start thorough life reviews. And not to wait for the death-transition for it to take you unaware). I sat up in bed, as I was saying, and looked around. You can have them. But feeling that family bond ar...

South Africa: July 2015
http://stensbys.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. The origins of Thunee. Being part of an Indian South African family and having lived in SA for two years, there was no option but to learn Thunee. Most social charou gatherings include half a bicycle pack - then the game is on. The catchy card game resembles another popular card game in Norway, and thus not too hard to get a general hang of. Another group set out from Bergen (Norway) to start a colony on the island Aldabra (Seychelles) in order to practice their religion. Re...

South Africa: Thunee popularity
http://stensbys.blogspot.com/2015/08/thunee-popularity.html
Tuesday, August 11, 2015. I’m proud to say I play Thunee. It’s a cultural heritage, and the fact that it’s a popular game makes me even more proud. But how popular is it really? On that note, I see this white guy (fair assumption) online complaining about complex rules, and advising to find a live indian to teach the game. Anyway, amongst Indians in South Africa the total universe amounts to about 8 million people. How many plays the game, or are likely to play the game? Robert Putnam reports that; ̶...

South Africa: Been there, done that!
http://stensbys.blogspot.com/2008/01/been-there-done-that.html
Thursday, January 10, 2008. Been there, done that! Likewise I had similar thoughts on my Madagascar trip. Recently. I caught a sailfish. Pictures eventually fade, and the colors look dull and old after some time and hunting/fishing trophies shrink to mice and sardines. I would not let that happen to my sailfish, so what else? When the fish was landed, I tried to carry it to the front deck in my arms like a baby, but soon learnt a painful lesson. The skin is like sandpaper! 8220;sailfish mark”. Ah battle ...

South Africa: August 2015
http://stensbys.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 27, 2015. Thunee in the 1940's? Jawaharlal Nehru, Indias first Prime Minister, said that; “Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will”. I’m wondering - was he talking about Thunee? Nehru also said; “The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all”. Did you regret not calling a Thunee, or a kanak Nehru? Posted by Jonny Stensby. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. That’s 2million players in a best-case scenario, but contin...

There Are Monsters | Aquila ka Hecate
https://aquilakahecate.wordpress.com/2014/11/06/there-are-monsters
A Shaman Reporting to Hecate. Mostly. November 6, 2014. The telly is burbling away in the background. And there are monsters on it. Leaders of the Free World. Slouching, drooling, psychopathic monsters. Wetikos, in fact. If I switch over to the night’s series drama, I find there are different monsters. Chopping up of bodies, poking around in the brain jelly. Full Living Colour. And I can’t tell, most of the time – is this supposed to be a drama or a comedy? Light the Myrrh and praise the Moon. You are co...
