1) Delighted to hear it. One of the great advantages of the Turkey Curse, as of so many really effective magical workings, is that it starts by causing change in the consciousness of the practitioner and then radiates it out from there.

2) It's a very specialized banishing ritual. In Discordian terms, it banishes excess Hodge, That's what it does, that's all it does, but it does it very effectively.

3) Thinking is potent stuff. We create the worlds we live in through the process of thinking, assembling fragmentary sensations, thoughts, and feelings into structures of meaning and value by thinking about them; we can dissolve those worlds and make them anew by the same means.

4) You can't make somebody wake up, and the great trap lies in thinking that you're doing so when you're just changing their dogma to one you like better. That being the case, the best approach is the one the Turkey Curse takes: simply dispell the Hodge and let circumstances take it from there. If you try to impose your own ideas on others, you get the karma of those who do violence thinking they're justified in their actions.

5) This is the hour of the Golden Apple, the hour of the rising Podge. Hang on tight.
