Bikram Yoga founder not so spiritual after all

Bikram Yoga founder Bikram Choudhury has been accused of some less than enlightening antics, including rape, sexual harassment, and racism.

The claims come from an ex-employee and two former students. According to the Jezebel news site, the cultish guru has a charming turn of phrase, waxing poetic about his penis, women’s bodies, and marriage.

One of his students, Sydney Towne, kept a diary of Bikram’s antics when she trained with him full-time for three months last year.

He apparently dislikes so many types of people that “a list seemed like the only way to keep track of it all,” she said.

The reason she did not walk was because she loved Bikram Yoga but hated the way Bikram himself completely took advantage of people.

“He preys on people, and there’s such a cult of personality around him that people don’t question his clearly inappropriate behaviour,” she said.

Bikram talks a lot about his ability to avoid eating and sleeping and claims that sleeping is a “number one crime.”

He always has three young women around him during training sessions to serve him tea, make him snacks, fluff his blankets, and rub his legs for hours.

For the record, Towne gave some brilliant Bikram quotes:

“My name is Bikram. I’m always victorious.”

“I’ll inject your brain.”

“You can’t wait to be abused by bitch teacher.” (Talking about why people come to Bikram Yoga.)

“Get your fat ass here every day. Do you want to die?” (Talking about what to tell new students.)

“Even from the side, you look so sexy.” (Directed at a woman walking across the ballroom where he gives lectures in front of 400+ people during the first week of training.)

On testicles: “You never see two balls in one line.”

On penises: “You think big body equals big dick?”

How to make a marriage last: “Women become the best babysitter in the world. Men become German Shepard, Doberman.”

More sage marriage advice: “Love your bitch wife every moment.”

“60 per cent of men that do Bikram come to the yoga for erectile dysfunction,” according to Bikram.

Bikram does not like Mormons, Christians, dog owners, women who are “Chubbies”, too skinny, or small-breasted, without make-up, with short hair, or with long hair but worn up.

He also is suspect people who live in cold climates and tattooed people. Chinese speakers, “Skanky” American men and the colour green!

Spectral Evidence conference organiser tells Palestinians to eat each other

Wiccan warlock Christian Day [pictured] has caused disgust and outrage after telling starving Palestinians to turn cannibal. The twisted occultist made the shocking comment on Facebook after someone posted: “Palestinian kids are out of food and the world is doing nothing.” Day sneered back: “They can always dine on one another. I’m surprised they haven’t eaten the hostages yet.” Day is already notorious. He was shunned by a large number of covens who felt that the world needed to be protected from his antics. These range from trolling to nasty, abusive posts Despite being cast out, Day continues to flog his Spectral Evidence convention, an online occult jamboree boasting 75 lectures. Day is alleged to have doxed fellow pagans, handing their names and addresses to a far-right Christian church. Though he hurriedly deleted the details, the damage was done, and extremists were effectively given a hit list. Critics say he is courting controversy...

Witch Queen backs “Abusive Priest” as fury erupts in Wiccan circles

Co-founder of Alexandrian Witchcraft and Witch Queen Maxine Sanders has thrown petrol on an already blazing row in the occult world after publicly defending Christian Day, a notorious witch with a rap sheet of scandals longer than most people’s Book of Shadows . Day, who runs the online Spectral Evidence shin-dig, has already hit headlines for all the wrong reasons. Most recently , he suggested Palestinians should be “eating their children” and has been dragged through court accused of elder abuse; he has also been slammed for stalking, racism and general nastiness. Yet instead of keeping her distance, Sanders shocked many by leaping to his defence in a Facebook post, even mocking one of his accusers and brushing the whole saga off as little more than community drama. She wrote a lengthy post calling the criticism “spectacle dressed up as accountability.” She singled out one of Day’s alleged victims, using the mocking nickname “Spikey,” and accused him of hypocris...

Occult book boss nicked my sigils

NOTED Golden Dawn scholar Olen Rush has accused Kerubim Press chief Dean Wilson [AKA Frater Yechidah] of stealing his research on tarot sigils and trying to pass it off as his own mystical revelation. Rush, author of A Short Treatise on the Sigils of the Scales , claims Wilson half inched his documented work on how Golden Dawn “King” and “Queen” court cards combine to form “Prince Sigils”. Rush insists the material, first published in 2010, was later dressed up by Wilson as if it had been spiritually revealed to him. Rush says the proof lies in old blog posts and emails from 2012 where Wilson not only praised his book but asked permission to link to it. He accuses Wilson of now denying ever having read the work while presenting its core ideas as his own. “He had the audacity to suggest we compare findings when he had already borrowed mine,” Rush said. The sigils are an obscure part of the Golden Dawn tradition, and Rush is the expert. Golden Dawn insiders note that Rush’s ...
