As most of the readers and subscribers know,
during the past three months, I have been quite
busy tending to transcript production. My apologies
to any author, who has not received a response
from me, but I promise for the September - November
issue of Scribal Tales that your submissions will
be attended to.
This edition of The Scribe's Gazette is dedicated
to Gary Klausner and his family. Gary was featured
in Queer
Eye for the Straight Guy. Everyone who
saw the show
on July 26th felt Gary's story should become
the next situation comedy, "Everybody Loves

Editorial Promotion: To Gabe Morales, author
of Torment,
upon his appointment to the position on the staff
of Scribal Tales as the Editorial Publishing Editor.
Gabe has graciously agreed to forgo the "generous
salary offer" that I made to him and to share
the reading and critiquing duties with yours truly.
Oh, all right, so I didn't offer him any monies,
I just begged, cried and whined until he agreed
to accept the position. New authors beware: Gabe
is not quite as kind as I am when it comes to
rejecting stories. He expects perfection …
just kidding.

| Of Magick and Things |
|
Apropos my initial contribution to Scribal Tales
(the short story, "The Great Beast's Watch"),
our editor, Dan "O", asked if I'd like to
append a few words on "magick" and TOPY. The
following brief comments, I hope, will serve that purpose.
Following the English occultist Aleister Crowley
(1875 -1947), the term "magick" is used to
denote the knowing manipulation of unseen (i.e., occult)
correspondences between objects thereby causing a desired
change in same; whereas "magic" is relegated
to the stage-magician's sleight-of-hand (e.g., rabbits
out of hats, levitating ladies, and so on). Read
