Introduction This document is one among many designed to secure a rudimentary understanding of the Internet as it evolves. It has been crafted with a mage's interests in mind and a warmth of heart for the mystic. It is here assumed that the reader has some experience with computers and computer systems, and has at least a modicum of exposure to communications networks. If this is not the case, please refer to Version 1, Appendix B, General Information. This guide is designed to be updated. If you have information which can be included in subsequent versions, please email it to the Editor. The organization of this guide is based on speed and directness of communication. The first section deals with the message-based connections, Email and Usenet, listing contact addresses and newsgroups of interest. The second covers Telnet, including a list of BBSs, IRC Channels and MU*s. The latter two are live interaction sites. File transfer protocol (FTP) locations and site structures comprise the final section. In Version 1 there are two appendices. The first is a description of AMER (Alliance for Magical and Earth Religions). The second is titled 'Researching the Internet: Nets and Networking' and contains general information about telecommunications and information nexi. Consult Appendix B - 'General Information', if this data confuses you. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Message-based Connections (Email and Posted) a.

Appendices A. Alliance for Magical and Earth Religions (AMER) Contents: ~~~~~~~~ STATEMENT OF PURPOSE DEFINITIONS HOW DOES AMER WORK? AMER AND THE MEDIA AMER AND THE POLICE AMER AND THE CLERGY COMMUNITY SERVICE WILL AMER TELL EVERYONE ABOUT MY RELIGION? AMER NEEDS YOU TO JOIN TO CONTRIBUTE FOR PUBLICATIONS ANY QUESTIONS? [This following was contributed by Chris Carlisle: c24884cc@wuvmd.wustl.edu] The Alliance for Magical and Earth Religions (AMER) is a St.Louis-based organization made up of representatives of several distinct magical and/or Earth-centered religious traditions. Our members include witches, neo-pagans, Satanists, and Christians, working together for freedom of religion for all Americans. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE 1. AMER will defend the right of every American to practice his or her own religion, insofar as that religion's practices do not directly harm anyone. In particular, AMER will actively campaign for tolerance for magical and Earth-Centered religions. 2. AMER will work to promote a positive image for magical and Earth-centered religions, and to counter negative propaganda about such groups. 3. AMER will promote cooperation among the various magical and Earth-centered religious groups. 4. AMER will serve as a source of accurate information on magical and Earth-centered religions and practices. DEFINITIONS Magical Religion: any religious belief or practice which includes, as an aspect of its faith or an element in its ritual, the practice of what they call magic or the use of psychic powers. Earth Religion: any religious belief or practice which holds as a tenet a reverence for the Earth. HOW DOES AMER WORK? AMER will provide speakers to schools, police groups, churches, and anyone else who is interested about learning about magical and earth religions. AMER'S members work together to combat negative attitudes about the occult by writing letters to individuals and organizations who have disseminated incorrect information about the occult. We also help victims of religious discrimination through letters, phone calls and personal contact. AMER AND THE MEDIA AMER monitors media coverage of topics which affect the magical community. When one of our members sees an article or television story which gives unfair or slanted coverage to an event which involves "the occult", we contact the news organization in question to express our disapproval. We also write to commend news organizations which provide what we see as "good coverage". We hope that our efforts will promote fair media treatment of members of magical and earth religions. AMER AND THE POLICE AMER's members are also available to work with police departments to provide expert advice on crimes and rumors of crimes which involve or appear to involve members of the magical community. AMER AND THE CLERGY AMER works to contact clergy of all faiths and let them know about our concerns, in the hopes that they will come to understand, and even to tolerate, magical and earth religions. COMMUNITY SERVICE AMER encourages all of its members to participate in community service projects such as food drives, disaster relief, or environmental projects. AMER's St. Louis members meet every six weeks to clean up a stretch of highway. We feel that this highly visible form of service helps promote a positive image for occultists. WILL AMER TELL EVERYONE ABOUT MY RELIGION? The only members of AMER who are required to appear or speak in public are the members of the Board of Directors. If you wish, your membership can be kept totally confidential. In addition, AMER does not promote or endorse the activities of any specific religion, so you will not be asked to participate in any religious activities. AMER NEEDS YOU None of AMER's goals can be accomplished without a large and enthusiastic membership. We need volunteers for a variety of projects, from letter-writing to highway cleanup. Money? Of course we need it, but we need you even more. To help with an AMER project, send your name and phone number to AMER Volunteers at the address below. If address only, a small donation for postage would help. TO JOIN You can obtain the necessary membership application forms and other membership information by writing to AMER at the address below. TO CONTRIBUTE Make checks or money orders out to Alliance for Magical and Earth Religions and send them to AMER Treasurer at the address below. FOR PUBLICATIONS To obtain copies of AMER's "The Truth About Human Sacrifice", "Dream No Small Dreams", "The Truth About Ritualized Child Abuse", "Exercising Your Writes" or our newsletter, The AMER Intelligence, send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to AMER Public Information Officer at the address below.

(Login: www) ----------------------------------------------------------------- ============================== FIN =============================== ----------------------------------------------------------------- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The first person I'd like to thank is Scott Yanoff, whose breakdown of Internet services, 'Special Internet Connections' was very useful for gathering data. The 3/15/93 version was largely reprinted in Version 1, Appendix B, 'Researching the Internet: Nets and Networking'. Michael Strangelove was my second heavy source, especially regarding the descriptions of Listserv groups. His _Electric Mystic's Guide to the Internet..._ inspired this document's title. I'd like to thank Mitchell Porter for putting together 'High Weirdness By Email', which I referenced for many email addresses. Also, my gratitude is extended to Mssrs. Delysid, Pirmann, Traub and Geller for their kindness in archiving A Mage's Guide to the Internet. Materials were taken from many free information sources and reconstructed so as to benefit people of a magical taste. More general information can be found in Appendix B - 'Researching the Internet: Nets and Networking', APPEARING ONLY IN VERSION 1. Subsequent updates will be similar in format and focussed quite heavily on the subjects of Magick and Mysticism. Please send updated information to the Editor via email (address information below). $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ COMPENSATION, COPYRIGHTS AND CREDITS (C) 1993 Frater Nigris (930429, Version 1) No compensation has been required for the making of this publication. There were two main areas in which large sections of text were lifted from the credited tomes by Yanoff and Strangelove. Appendix A was a prepared text contributed by Chris Carlisle, and I received a list of Usenet newsgroups from AShTON. The rest was my construction and is, as are all of my generatons, the property of my Order (KAos). !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
