"Conduits" Peter Murphy New Orleans 2019

I am finally able to sit down and interpret one of my biggest spiritual moments I have experienced to date. I flew out to New Orleans because one of my best friends was opening for the Ruby Tour 40 years of Bauhaus. I few other friends had flown in from California and Austin for the show. I was attending with my life long BF Karen with whom we've been listening to Bauhaus together since 1986. I stood front and center for Vinsantos and it made me super emotional watching him and hearing his new song! We have been close for about 25 years and to see this was a special moment! He has worked hard and deserves everything golden, he is a treasure! I wasn't in a state of mind to take pix or video i wanted to be in the moment! As Bauhaus flocked our ears n spirits they took us to an ethereal state, of teen years and late nights. Peters voice was crisp n how we all remember it from our turn tables in a clove filled room and cassettes in your friends car on the way to go dancing, David J presented us with his iconic stance n unique bass skills. I floated around and wandered thru the room and bar n balcony, wanting to view them from all angles n spaces. When Passion of Lovers began i danced to the front to join about 6 or 7 of my gals to absorb as much of this as i could with them, this moment in time, being 45 and still feeling a surge from these songs is an elixir i cannot explain. Passion Of Lovers finished and they left the stage which of course caused an uproar for an encore! Peter n Mark Gemini Thwaite pranced back out for a one on one intimate version of The Three Shadows 2. It was a beautiful moment of intimacy. I kept staring at Peter and thinking "wow there he is". As he continues to command respect and authority on all of us aging deathrockers. I felt as if i was floating! Absorbing each word as Mark strummed on his guitar and they stood back to back. Oh classic gentlemen Say your prayers To the wind, of prostitution To your faces, and Rex complexes Riddle my breast Full of the oppressed puss Oh gentlemen, with your fish The you surround, all around And you man, will always point Your fishes, at me But I will always exist Because I always exist Damn good too The rat race begins The fat face stings I hold the fresh pink baby With a smile I slice off those rosy cheeks Because I feel so thirsty And Oedipus Rex complexes ...riddle my closed bloated breast They then went into Dead Can Dances "Severence" and about half way through the song I felt what i can only explain as 43 of my dead friends shooting through me and into Peter to the side of the stage. I would'a just thought that this was something in my altered state, but my 100% sober friend Linda grabbed my arm and asked "WTH was that? What just went from you to Peter"? and then another friend asked the same, my gal pal Gail also 100% sober then said "Holy shit i saw something go from you to Peter" as soon as it shot up to him i began balling crying it was uncontrollable and life altering. The message i received from the loved ones passed was "aging is a privilege enjoy n absorb each moment and put judgement's aside" the next day a few of the other friends asked me the same and said they witnessed something pass from me to him. I am a conduit and messenger for many spirits but this felt beyond anything i have experienced before. Its been two month's and i have thought about it everyday. I decided a few hours ago to see if any video footage was up from the show, and sure enough, whomever was basically standing next to me was filming and if you check out at the -5:00 mark, this is the interaction, he walks over singing, says something to me and then forgets his line of the song and says that then does a cute lil dance. https://www.facebook.com/indigoeyespetermurphy/videos/532773577217369/

Seance n Spiritual Evening in Room 408 w/ Kook Teflon

I was hired by a private party to come in and lead a seance on Saturday (March 2019) in the infamous haunted room 408 at Hotel Sorrento in Seattle. As a 13 year resident of Seattle I have been heavily involved in the Paranormal community so I was very excited to finally allocate in this room that many folks have had celestial experiences in. 2007/2008 I had a paranormal public access show "Ill Famed Spirits", for 5 years I lead ghost tours in Pike Place including 3 of those years into the notorious ButterWorth Mortuary for mini-investigations and the teller of historical facts in the First Ave space. I am also a certified paranormal investigator. With close to a hundred investigations through the Puget Sound in Private Homes and Business's. Though I have had many drinks in the bar at Hotel Sorrento and enjoyed a fire or two in their beautiful parlor area. I hadn't been in the elevator or in room 408 prior to last night. At one point and time in my residency in Seattle i knew the stories of this Luxury Structure but couldn't currently recall any of the details when hired since it had been years that i head learned of its history. I chose to only do a tiny bit of research before this event and felt very drawn to Alice B.

In reality the Alice B haunting the halls makes no sense to me, but hey she was an amazing womxn! When i approach any type of paranormal work i go in with 100% respect of the dead and honor to the spirits and am genuine about hearing their stories! I brought some offerings, photographs and placed a glass of wine on the table before we began our night. I was hired for a gals b-day celebration with 9 of her close friends. We got started around 11 pm and they were giggly from the bubbly but we sat in a circle held hands around the portable altar i set up. We all took 3 deep breaths for focus and to be mindful of their surroundings, I chatted for a bit about the experiences of a haunting and ghosts. Shortly after we began one of the gals was feeling her grandmother strongly with her. This of course made me happy that she was feeling connected to ancestors. As a medium and a channel-er i have to navigate whom is who in the room, set boundaries and yet keep myself open to messages. We were intentionally here to communicate with the spirit of 408 and ask why they are there. I was greatly hoping for Alice B but she did not come forward, instead an older man, I'd say in his late 50's approached me. I feel he was timeless maybe from the 1940's?1950"s?1960"s....He sat on the edge of the bed in the bedroom with the door closed, he had a big belly, boxer shorts,plain tee-shirt, sock garter's.. hell he could'a even been a recently deceased spirit. One of our circle dwellers asked if he was "Italian"? He barked back "Im Scottish"! Proudly proclaiming his name Bob McGregor and at this point he was trying real hard to channel through me,I was there to relay information but wasn't comfortable letting him jump in As I do not always trust spirits in these situations. They aren't always who they say they are, and i had no assistant with me. As I held the hand of the beauty that hired me i felt him charge into the side of me and she saw white sparks/light. As the sessions proceeded my eyelids were flickering n bouncing, my eyes were doing everything they could to stop him! We took a small break and when we got back into the circle he gave me more impressions. It seemed he died of a heart-attack or stroke in the room, and didn't mind being stuck there, his wife was very uptight so he became a traveling salesman to escape her grips and tension. He mentioned that this wasn't the worse place to be stuck, he likes startling people ,"guests that have no clue are the best" and the "view ain't so bad". Bob started to get irritated and would say through me "Who the hell is Alice B"? Nah Nah ! One of the guests asked if he was a "womanizer"? This irritated him even more. These are the moments were i ground and ask "Am I irritated" or is it "The Spirit"? Its important to create boundaries in this work or it can get unhealthy for the conduit.You don't wanna take on other entities emotions after you leave. This for sure was his contention and not mine. We took a final break and As i sat on the love seat with the b-day girl, the back drop of eclectic wallpaper illustrated with tropical art-deco trees n spider monkeys a mans voice ROARED between us, out of 11 people only 4 of us heard it , one of the girls had been in the other room and it startled her to the point she ran in thinking a Hotel employee had came in to lecture us about noise. BUT NOPE!!!!! I honestly never expect to have experiences cause its rare, but this was the third shared experience within an hour and a half. The crowning circle we did i started getting profound messages n impressions of the other spirits in the hotel, specifically which ever one is holding the little boy in the basement. Bob began seeming more and more bothered. Partly i feel from the disruptions, him being overshadowed by Alice B and lastly cause he is on the same loop over 'n over. We closed the circle around 12:30 confirmed we didn't want any of the spirits or entities to follow us home or out of the hotel. I gave each guest a private reading after and felt really fortunate to have this experience!

Kooks guts n show n tale

Hello Readers pals n' fiends Summer 2013 So much has occured in the past 90 days, i have healed, moved on and ripped my heart into shreds so that i may remain numb........... or at least til the autumn arrives. I have fallen in love in Austin Texas or with Austin or shall we call it a crush? I spent more time in NOLA my number one lover of all time, where i can breath, where i can live in complete obscurtiy, The Witches Titties went on a lil West Coast Tour. The biggest and hardest decision I have ever made was to leave my fleshy lover Pops after 14 years of a voyage that went sour... Noone else may ever love me again like he did, I feel we both lost respect for one another, we lived inside the dream of our first 10 years as a duo, as those lovers that others envy, inside jokes, tolerating my irrational manic whims, the rollercoaster known as Kook, i was asked years ago to back away and stop with all the over stimulated attention but i feel like a failure in the end. Nothing lasts forever i guess... I have such a blessed life i make $ from my art and have a job that pays me to tell others about death and history and sex of our city. My children are outrageous and beautiful creatures, i have the most compassionate friends that are family across the country.... i mean really really supportive and they shower me with power daily. I want to thank the man i left for loving me like no other man has....... I have moved into Kooks Tower above The Pierces and wonder what and where i will discover in the months to follow.......... wish me luck and no more tears unless they are of passion

The Myrtles Plantation

St.Francisville in Louisiana at the most haunted home in America "The Myrtles" the same type of light appeared on a rocking chair- I will remind you that i took controlled pics (which means numerous shots ) and that i never get that excited about orbs or the such!!! but these lights are truly paranormal, This was at the Caretaker Cabin, also we slept in the Magnolia Room, i awoke around 2:30 A.M to the strongest scent of lemons/verbena i mean like someone was holding it Right under my nose and then the covers at the end of my bed were tight and the mattress sunk down as if someone had sat down.... within a few moments the scent disappeared along with the mattress weight????

St.Michael Cemetery in Pensacola Florida

I haven't gotten anything this paranormal on film for over 5 years- when we arrived into Pensacola,Fl it was already dark and the moon was full and red, we happened to drive by a strangely located cemetery in between some freeway underpasses, we got out to capture the moon over the cemetery, i happened to capture these lights in two of my pics, i took about a dozen and they only appear in the two, when we got to our hotel i looked up the cemetery and on their site it explains police officers reporting lights appearing in the cemetery at night during their patrols.... WOW!!!!!

Kooks Bed was Sarah Morgans during the Civil War

The Bed in my room today- I was able to acquire one the most beautiful beds from an antique store in Moscow, Idaho. A friend saw it on his travels sent me a photo and insisted it had to be mine, i soon called the owner and he told me the bed was originally from Baton Rouge , Louisiana and had belonged to a girl that famously, journal-ed during the civil war in the bed and throughout Louisiana. My mother passed away on August 3rd and when i came home from settling her personals i knew it was time to heal, and this was the bed i was going to heal in! I also ordered her book thinking "how cool to read it in her bed", Three attempts later the book finally arrived on my BIRTHDAY today! The first two books i ordered were the wrong books? weird huh? i figured i would try one more time before visiting her city Baton Rouge, two weeks passed and NO book? So we left for our trip , visited the Castle/state capitol/museum, did the tour and even watched an astounding Haunted Mansion style film about her titled "The Ghost of the Castle". Here is the bed in my room, the book arriving and A few images from our visit. http://civilwarwiki.net/wiki/Sarah_Morgan

BEAUTY AND NOISE.: Interview with Creator Kook Teflon: Had the chance to catch up with a great artist/creator Miss Kook Teflon from Seattle,WA Here is what she had to say! Kim Acrylic:Hello ...

Summer 2012 - loss and rebirth- my heart is open for all of you to see

Hello everyone! I haven't blogged for a many many many month's! My life has changed since the spring, my insides have ached and i have been in a "Limbo" I could say it changed on May 30th the day two very important people in my world were taken violently/senseless/too soon from our lives.````` But when i sit and truly think about it, this change started to occur the week of my birthday which is Beltane. Its funny how life is, how things fall into place, people enter our lives or things will happen for a reason........... I could not have gotten through any of this without the support and love from my friends. ////////My band really saved me all summer////// along with my great job where i get to escape, lead tours through Pike Place Market and tell stories of the ghosts and history of the many beautiful, wild & tormented humans that have existed in the area...... Now in the past 15 years I have had over a dozen friends pass away yet, Drew n' Joes death really threw me into outer space. (I spent 2007-2009 mostly with them any social outing, cafe racer breakfasts or in their basement. along w/ Armitage and my cancan family).They all made me feel confident,thankful and inspired, I owe so much to all of them (talk about a "soul retrieval) After May 30th I drank everyday ,didn't eat and was in a numb state!My soul ached, I would lay in bed *and cry * and cry* and cry, The final straw of my limbo occurred on June 28th my band had a show at ReBar and the night ended in a safe house but i was found by my Teflon Sister sitting in an ice cold tub staring at the wall in the dark, not in my body anymore, It was a wake up call to get myself back. And let Mazacca know that "we cannot party together anymore" So i decided on 30 days no liquor or sadness.........It is now Sept 13th and I have had maybe six drinks since June 28th........ and i still cannot listen to any music by my boys....not yet............ I started to feel like KOOK again which means sewing, creating, having fun with my family, and waking up early! My mother decided to visit from California (she hadn't visited for over two years, we always go to her) so I was super excited and needed the company of my mother after such a long hard few months (my husband and I were also on very rocky roads). She could relate to how i was feeling because three of her friends had been murdered when she was in her early 20's. We just hung in my cave, watched Treme',she had me BOUNCE dance for her and talked about spending time together in New Orleans. She had lost 87 pounds in a years time, i was so proud of her determination and drive to get healthy..... I always had a very young,full of life mom when i was growing up. She was the type of mom all my friends would hangout with in high school, she'd always tell us her experiences in the paranormal. When I was 14 she started having me take spiritual retreats, tarot classes, dream analysis classes, self-defense (yes Tai Kwon Do) and past life recognition workshops. When my grandfather passed away that year we inherited his witchcraft library so i was reading all of those books too. I owe alot of who i am to my mother and my ancestors, i was always told to love, always follow your gut instincts and be open to new things.......... July 2012 -Originally my mother said she had "a open ticket" to visit us and would be here for a few weeks, but after 5 days decided she really needed "to get back home" so on the seventh day of her visit, SailorHank n I drove her to the train station helped her check bags & hugged her goodbye. This would be our last time ever seeing her! The following Saturday I received the phone call that she had unexpectedly passed. I still cannot believe it, though i am soo grateful that she visited it was just way to soon, she was only 57!!! She had some minor health scares but it seemed she was on the road to a healthy path.I had texted her last year that we still have so many things to do together, that she still needed to walk through the french quarter with me and i wanted her to go to Commanders Palace....so many things!!! I had told her if she lost 100 pounds i would take her & Darby to Paris!! Of course her spirit and energy are still here but really i miss her!!I miss her calling me dozens of times a week always "checking in", me teasing her replying with " I'm okay , if i'm not , it'll be on the news". She drove me nuts , since she was so young we were always more like sisters, she would always tell people " Me and Cheyanne grew up together" i could tell her anything, she always knew instinctively if i was sad, she'd call and say " I had a dream about you, are you okay"?, and any exciting coinsurance in my life she was really the first person i would tell.-------- I have been comfortable in my room, being social right now is just -out of the question-, i know this will all pass and I will be out and about, smiling,laughing,dancing and living. But for now i must grieve. ---I must save my marriage----- I must make a great home for my children------I must create---- I must breath----- I must love--------I must LIVE!!!!!! I also want to thank all of my wonderful wonderful supportive community of friends! NEW ORLEANS or BUST.....

Coven Journals issue 2 by The Witches Titties (Seattle)

.....................................................................

do you dare know Kooks thoughts?

I had my (Tarot)therapy session on Thursday with my tarot sister!
I have so many changes occuring, new paths to explore it is quite overwhelming!The cards were right on "as usual".

I sometimes wanna just throw my hands up and completely stop it all, everything!!!!!
I ask myself why?
why am i compelled to create?
I joke with others and tell them that it is to "disguise my insanity"! if it was really 1927 i would definatley be institutionalized.
Sometimes i feel i love to much, care to much and worry about the happiness of others, my tarot reader said that is my blessing and partly why i am so prolific.

But again the question is why?

When I let Miss Oblivious go and let Kook Teflon in it was a releif! Though many still look in my eyes and call me "Miss O' she is gone and left a huge impression on my persona and my work. She developed my art.

I swear to never be jaded, to embrace everything life has to offer! I never dreamt in a million years i'd be a mother, a wife , a rational thinker, all that has always frightened me. I was the young queer,non-breeder, gonna blow up the world kinda gal!!!!!

i am still 2 out of 3 which ain't bad for an almost 39 year old lady.

My birthday is in about 3 weeks (May Day), i stand back every-year and reflect on who i was, who i am and who i want to be, well never that planned out, but the older i am, the more i realize i have kept alot my ideals/inspirations, but mostly i am still here documenting my beautiful friends their costumes,past times,performances,aging and ideas. Basically I proudly worship all my friends, yet I can honestly say I only relate to a handful, I love having friends with different ideals and habits.

I didn't turn 30
and give up on thrifting,
i don't yearn to be a home-owner,
I can care less whats new at Target or at the mall,
i still don't try to be pretty ( I'm just a sea hag on the prairie in love with the swamps),
i still dye my hair,
i still dance with death looking it deeply in its dark eyes and handle bar moustache,
i still seek strange experiences and
i will always be surrounded 100 % by wild woman,drag queens and curious children.
They keep me breathing!

At times I unveil a side of myself most have not met. I allow the "ancestors","ol timey spirits" to live through me. It normally ends in shame and a fog.

As a child i was told by a celebrity psychic (my moms friend from the Enquirer) that this would happen, she put her hands on my 10 year old face and looked deeply into my bright blue eyes as the sun shined brightly behind her which made her angelic as she sincerely told me , "You will outshine and break many hearts without intent". I have lived many lives in this state.
Dancing around the fire, enticing the outcasts , protecting the misunderstood, placing a pedastool beneath the most couragous freaks. Again they keep me breathing.

I really hate it when people tell me "oh you like everyone" no! i just don't judge everyone!!! I accept you "as you" , not what I think you should be or who you know, there is a huge difference, again i see and i feel the beauty within. Unless your a homophobe,child abuser,womanizer or rapist I will give u a chance!

I really don;t know where i am going with this rant?
oh yeah my cards from my reading the other day (excuse my emotional rollarcoaster I am listening to HOLE)

Its my retrograde "KOOKs"-So i am arriving at a 4 way intersection when I am taking a different route, some new projects? reviving some old ones? I will be producing a few music videos over the summer(i took 2 years off) I am ready to film again, also I am starting a new zine that will be titled " REGAL HAGzine" I don't wanna reveal to much yet but I will say that I have some pretty amazing confirmed contributors so far! I plan on releasing the first issue for Pride Weekend!!

DOLLS DOLLS DOLLS of course! I am working on an installation for "The Punk Rock Museum" July 15th in Hollywood

I am thrilled that my efforts with Vockah Redu are moving forward! I went to my first (sissy)bounce show in 2009 in New Orleans with Big Freeda/Rusty Lazer/Sissy Nobby and my mind was blown, in 2010 I happened to have a shared night with Vockah Redu at The Allways Lounge and he became a close friend and I was determined to get him some manger/production assistance. BOOM!! by 2011 he was signed to the Fred agency and I am very proud of the video produced and am looking forward to all his success he is truley a shining star filled with spirit magic and sweetness!!!

The teflon Sister zine 2 is complete and available!

I wanna live in New Orleans soooo bad, but I don't wanna leave the NW either, and SF/LA is home and oh so alluring. It is difficult and emotional I have such strong bonds and they pull at my heart!
I am in a lull, I am numb at times and then i feel alive with thunder! I AM A MIXED TIME BOMB!!! hahaha

I have my new music project that really excites me! The Witches Titties!!!!!!

my question is "what will happen with all my photographs, documentation"? Sometimes I feel noone really cares, i will never be good enough or as good as "soandso", then the big part of me says "FUCK 'em" i don't wanna be like anyone else anyways .................................

So as I enter my 39th year in this shell- in this body- in this form, i will love my beautiful family with all my heart & soul, cherish my friends and document it all in the meantime....

and if your still reading this "Bless you"

yours truly,
Kook Teflon
