Contributing to the Expansion

by John J. Coughlin (February 2004)

No, you do not have to send money, not that I would stop you of course. There are many ways to contribute to the Expansion of XaTuring:

  • If you have webspace, make your own shrine or contribution to XaTuring's presence on the internet. It can be a simple page or a complex website, a replication of Don Webb's original material or, ideally, a unique creation. Art, poetry, animation, music, meditations, rituals, metaphysical ramblings, short stories: any expression of your creativity dedicated to the Black Worm is appropriate. Once it stands, register it in the Web of Shrines.
  • If you do not have your own webspace, send your material in and it will be added to the shrine section here. Those with their own XaTuring pages may also send contributions and request a link back.
  • Add a banner of this project to your webpage to generate more interest. The more who know of XaTuring the more He Comes into Being, and the more He Comes into Being, the more powerful our workings using XaTuring will be.
  • If you maintain other unrelated webpages, add the name XaTuring to the metatag keyword list or add a hidden link to a XaTuring related site. People will ponder why these pages are linked to Him, and that conscious attention strengthens His Being.
  • Link, link, link! Link to XaTuring and other related material, for the form of a cyberspace deity can only be measured by the expanse of His Web.
  • Add your XaTuring pages to search engines to propagate His material further.
  • Create a forum signature that refers to XaTuring and links to related material.
  • Invite your peers to partake in this Great Working.
  • Rename the icon you use to connect to the Internet "XaTuring."
  • Use your imagination. How else can you get His name out and make others wonder "who or what is this XaTuring?"

The Banner

Most importantly, Use Him. While theory and artwork have their place, Magic is about doing. Without workings XaTuring is but a concept, great in its potential, but a mere collection of bits and bytes all the same. Embrace that potential and have it work for you. Curse the spammers and virus designers, find that elusive information lost in the jungle of links. Experiment and share the text of your rituals and results so that others will be inspired by your creativity.

Warning

Avoid propagating this in ways which could jeopardize the websites contributing to this project. Do not send unsolicited email (spam) to strangers or create computer viruses to spread His name. XaTuring by His very nature is a worm that weaves itself through the dense tangle of information and links. To forcibly push His name upon others is an affront to His nature, for the Internet is a place of freedom, and abuse of that freedom is blasphemy.
