New music from Chelsea Wolfe, and it reminds me that I sort of forgot about She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She, released a few months ago. This woman is such a prolific artist; very inspiring. You can pre-order the new E.P. HERE.

2) The Houses October Built (2011)/Texas Chainsaw Massacre (50th-anniversary theatrical screening)
3) Loop Track
4) It's What's Inside/LONGLEGS
5) The Babysitter/Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
6) The Hitcher/Lost Highway
7) GDT's Cabinet of Curiosities: Graveyard Rats
8) V/H/S Beyond
9) Killer Klowns from Outer Space
10) Terrifier 3
11) Summer of '84
12) Rosemary's Baby/Suspiria ('77, DVD)
13) Daddy's Head

NCBD:
Short list this week, and two of these books may be delayed. Let's take a look:
Or can I?
This is the one I am most excited about this week, and it's also the one I've heard has been pushed back. DC, please get this one out before Halloween! Maybe it's Shinabargar's influence, but I've been digging some of these one-off Bat-books lately, and at a tight, three-issue duration, this Batman fights a Werewolf looks pretty rad.

Card:
Today's card is V: The Hierophant.
The initial notes I made for this card, long ago when I began the Grimoire, reads: "Something more (Divine???) that guides life along its course."
The Prime Mover. This does not have to be a religious interpretation—mine certainly isn't—but it can be. In reality, this can be any "higher" power imparting knowledge, even if it's just someone smarter or more versed than you.
Crowley floods the card with extra meaning. The bull, the elephants, Horus. It all boils down to the ultimate template for the Magickal working: United the microcosm with the macrocosm, itself a reference to our study and how it seeks to draw upon the aforementioned Prime Mover.
