Sometimes the most powerful magic wears the mask of play.

This banishing rite came through a 1950 Warner Bros cartoon—but don't let that fool you. The Otherworld doesn't only speak through ancient grimoires and solemn ritual. Sometimes it speaks through Bugs Bunny.

This is real magical technology dressed in cartoon logic. Which makes it no less effective. Maybe more so.

Hillbilly Hare: The Source Material

From "Hillbilly Hare" (1950), Warner Bros. - Lyrics below used for educational/commentary purposes

Three hands up and round you go!
Break it up with a dosey doe.
Chicken in the bread pan, kickin' out dough.
Skip to ma Lou, my darling!

The old lady out, you pretty little thing!
Promenade around the ring!
Big foot up and little foot down!
Make that big foot jar the ground!

Lady step back and two gents in!
Back you go and forward again!
Step right up with an elbow swing!
Skip to ma Lou, my darling!

Allemande left with the old left hand!
Follow through with a right-left grand!
Meet your honey with a great big smile!
Promenade Indian style!

Bugs Bunny:
Promenade across the floor!
Sashay right on out the door!
Out the door and into the glade,
And everybody promenade!

Step right up! You're doing fine.
I'll pull your beard! You pull mine!
Yank it again like you did before!
Break it up with a tug o'war!

Now into the brook and fish for the trout!
Dive right in and splash about!
Trout, trout, pretty little trout –
One more splash and come right out!

Shake like a hound dog! Shake again!
Wallow around in the ol' pig pen!
Wallow some more! You all know how.
Roll around like an ol' fat sow!

Allemande left with your left hand!
Follow through with a right-left grand!
Now leave your partner, the dirty ol' thing!
Follow through with an elbow swing!

Grab a fence post! Hold it tight!
Whomp your partner with all your might!
Hit him in the shin! Hit him in the head!
Hit him again! That critter ain't dead.

Whomp him low and whomp him high!
Stick your finger in his eye!
Pretty little rhythm, pretty little sound –
Bang your heads against the ground!

Promenade all around the room!
Promenade like a bride and groom!
Open up the door and step right in!
Close the door and into a spin!

Whirl, whirl, twist and twirl –
Jump all round like a flying squirrel!
Now don't you cuss and don't you swear!
Just come right out and form a square!

Now right hand over and left hand under,
Both join hands and run like thunder!
Over the hill and over the dale –
Duck your head and lift your tail!

Don't you stray and don't you roam
Turn around and promenade home
Corn in the crib pen, wheat in the sack!
Turn your partner and promenade back!

And now you're home. Bow to your partner. Bow to the gent across the hall. And that is all!

The Trickster's Banishing Rite

aka: "What's Up, Hex?"

This rite is to be used when:

• Energy feels stuck or stagnant

• You're being pestered by intrusive vibes

• You need to dislodge weirdness with weirder weirdness

• You just want to have some fun with your magic

"To defeat a thing, you must understand its punchline."

What You'll Need:

• A mirror or reflective surface (optional)

• A speaker or phone with "Hillbilly Hare" queued up (available on YouTube)

• A hat, carrot, or something ridiculous (absolutely encouraged)

• Optional: chalk, lipstick, or marker to draw a sigil or symbol of chaos (like a spiral, zigzag, or bunny ears) on the mirror

Step 1: Call the Trickster

Stand before your mirror or ritual space. Take a breath. Then say:

"By fiddle's fire and Bugs's flair,
Confusion go and joy repair.
What clings too tight, now lose its grip—
I summon chaos with a whip!"

(Optional: snap fingers dramatically, crack an imaginary whip, or throw glitter like a weapon.)

Step 2: Press Play

Start "Hillbilly Hare." The moment the fiddle kicks in, start moving. Dance, hop, skip, moonwalk—whatever ridiculous thing your body wants to do.

Imagine every wild note is uncorking stuck energy and tripping up negative intrusions.

As the music builds, picture:

• Vibes being thrown into hay bales

• Intrusive spirits slipping on banana peels

• Shadowy figures being hypnotized by cartoon logic

• Bugs Bunny winking as your energetic field expands and glows with absurd sovereignty

Step 3: Chaotic Dismissal

When the music ends (or when it feels right), strike a silly pose. Then say:

"Dismissed, disbanded, bamboozled, gone!
By rabbit's wit, this game is won.
No grip remains, no gloom shall stay—
The Trickster's cleared the clouds away."

Bow (to yourself, to Bugs, to the mirror). Snap your fingers twice. Done.

Post-Ritual Notes:

• You may feel lighter, weirder, giddier. That's perfect.

• Keep a trickster playlist on standby. It's potent magic.

• This rite is especially effective in liminal hours, on Wednesdays (Mercury's day), or any time you're feeling too serious.

Why This Actually Works

Square-dance calls are already incantations - rhythmic commands that direct movement and organize chaos into pattern through sound. The spell is a brilliant piece of work, and here's the magic hidden in plain sight:

The Structure Is The Spell:

• Rhythm + rhyme + command + laughter = chaos magic's perfect fuel

• Each verse gives you an action: promenade, spin, shake, whomp

• You're literally moving stuck energy through your body while the music plays

The Progression Is Initiatory:

1. Form the space ("round you go" - create the circle)

2. Break and reform ("dosey doe" - unstick what's stagnant)

3. Cross the threshold ("out the door and into the glade" - enter liminal space)

4. Baptism ("into the brook" - water cleansing)

5. Grounding ("wallow in the pig pen" - earth element, embodied purification)

6. Reversal ("whomp your partner" - turn aggression back on itself through absurdity)

7. Return home ("promenade back" - close the circle)

The Absurdity Is The Point: When you're too busy laughing at yourself doing ridiculous movements, your ego can't interfere with the magic. The Trickster teaches through play - and play is how we slip past our own defenses.

Your rational mind is busy giggling at "shake like a hound dog" while your energetic body is actually banishing stuck patterns and intrusive vibes.

Plus: The spell triggered actual square-dancing mania at Warner Bros during breaks - the animators couldn't stop doing it. That's the Trickster current breaking through into consensus reality.

It's not "just silly." It's intentionally silly. And that's what makes it work.

End of Report

Embassy Note:

The Otherworld doesn't care about your dignity. The Otherworld cares about results.

Bugs Bunny—Trickster incarnate, chaos agent, boundary-crosser—handed us a fully functional banishing spell wrapped in hillbilly slapstick. And it works precisely because it refuses to take itself seriously.

This is what magic looks like when it remembers it's supposed to be alive, responsive, and fun.

Try it. You'll either clear stuck energy or laugh yourself breathless. Either way, the heaviness lifts.

And if you find yourself spontaneously square-dancing at random moments afterward? Congratulations. You've been blessed by the Trickster. You're welcome.

Field Report #1: The Fever Gate

Dancing With the Virus

I don't think it's just about needing more rest. I think some of us are beginning to remember something ancient about the nature of illness, especially viral illness. We tend to treat viruses only as enemies. And I get it, they hurt, they disrupt, they can be deadly. But what if that's not the whole story? What if some viruses are living initiators—calls from the deep?

The Science Is Stranger Than We Think

Modern science, quietly and astonishingly, tells us that viruses helped shape the very miracle of human birth. Proteins like syncytin, essential to placental development, were originally viral genes integrated into our DNA millions of years ago. In other words: a virus may have gifted us the ability to be born this way at all. The more we learn, the stranger it becomes. Around 8% of the human genome is viral in origin. We are, in a very real sense, part-virus ourselves. Co-evolved. Co-woven. So what if sickness is sometimes a threshold, not just a setback? What if your body, when taken down by fever, ache, and strange dreams—isn't just failing... but entering? The Molecular Vision Quest Entering the cave. The shadow journey. The cellular initiation. And yes, it can be brutal. It can be dangerous. But it may also be when the deeper current finally has a chance to speak. Not the self that's always managing, organizing, doing— But the one buried under the layers. The one who remembers. The one who listens.

This Is Otherworld Work

If you've been feeling like your practice is slipping because you're sick, exhausted, or navigating chaos—consider this: You might be more in contact with the Otherworld than ever. Because initiation doesn't always arrive through meditation and ritual. Sometimes it arrives through fever dreams and forced stillness. Sometimes the Otherworld knocks through illness, asking: "Are you ready to receive what I came to deliver?"

A Different Relationship With Illness

Ancient wisdom traditions understood that illness could be initiatory. Sickness wasn't always failure, it was threshold. A time when the veils grew thin and consciousness rewired itself. Modern culture doesn't make space for this. We're expected to bounce back immediately, return to productivity, apologize for our absence. But what if we approached viral illness differently? Not as enemy to defeat. Not as inconvenience to endure. But as potential messenger to engage with—carefully, sovereignly. This doesn't mean romanticizing suffering. It doesn't mean refusing medicine or ignoring real danger. It means recognizing that sometimes, in the enforced stillness of sickness, something is trying to reach us.

Virus as Emissary

There's that fascinating scientific evidence again: viruses don't just harm us. They've literally shaped us. Retroviruses created the human placenta. Viral integrations gifted our species with immune innovations. The way we give birth may be linked to viral genetic material introduced eons ago. And yet we fear them. Demonize them. Run from them. What if some viruses are emissaries of change? Not all of them, not always, not in ways we'd choose. But what if, in certain cases, falling ill is a form of contact—a biochemical conversation with an intelligence that moves through matter differently than we do? Uncomfortable? Yes. Potentially dangerous? Absolutely. But also: informative.

The Diplomatic Approach

If you're curious about working with illness as threshold rather than just obstacle, here are some principles:

1. Sovereignty first

You get to choose how you engage. Medicine, rest, protocol—all valid. This isn't about rejecting treatment. It's about adding another layer of awareness.

2. Listen before interpreting

What is your body actually experiencing? Before you jump to meaning-making, just notice. Fever dreams, strange sensations, unexpected emotions—what's moving through?

3. Ask questions, not demands

Not "what am I supposed to learn from this?" but "is there anything here that wants to be heard?"

4. Document the journey

Write down the fever dreams, the strange thoughts, the images that come. You don't have to understand them immediately.

5. Integration after

The real work often happens in recovery—processing what came through, grounding what was revealed, bringing it into daily life.

6. Respect the danger

Viruses can kill. Take them seriously. This isn't spiritual bypassing of medical reality—it's adding depth to how we understand what's happening.

The Uncomfortable Truth

Some initiations are chosen. Some are thrust upon us. Some arrive wearing a mask of illness, exhaustion, or collapse. And sometimes the most powerful magical work happens when you're too sick to do anything but listen. Rest is not retreat. Sickness is not always failure. Disruption can be a form of contact. The Otherworld doesn't only speak through beautiful visions and profound synchronicities. Sometimes it speaks through the ache in your bones and the fever that won't break. The question is: are you willing to listen?

Embassy Note:
Let’s be clear: a virus might kill you. It might become symbiotic with you.
And it will change you.

This is not a bug—it’s the feature.
Evolution, written in real time, inscribed in your cells by an intelligence that’s been rewriting genomes for billions of years.

Is it dangerous? Absolutely.
Is it Otherworldly? Without question.
Should you be paying attention to every layer of what’s happening? Yes.

This is one of the most potent thresholds available to embodied beings:
where biology becomes initiation,
where microscopic intelligence rewrites both your genetic code and your consciousness in the same breath.

Get medical care.
Document the fever dreams.
Notice what speaks when your defenses are down.
Track what changes in the aftermath.

You are being eaten and remade simultaneously.
This is threshold territory.
This is Otherworld work.
This is where the Embassy specializes.

Stay awake to all of it.

Can we communicate with viral intelligence?
The Embassy is investigating.
Early field reports suggest: maybe.
And stranger things have proven true.
