Puff the Magic Dragon [M.D]

“A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.” [Ludwig Wittgenstein]


The lyrics of "Puff, the Magic Dragon" are based on a 1959 poem by a 19-year-old Cornell University student inspired by an Ogden Nash poem titled "Custard the Dragon".

The trio's 1962 recording of "Puff the Magic Dragon" entered the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 charts on March 30, 1963, and peaked at number two.

After the song's initial success, speculation arose—as early as a 1964 article in Newsweek—that the song contained veiled references to smoking marijuana.

The word "paper" in the name of Puff's human friend Jackie Paper was said to be

a reference to rolling papers,

the words "by the sea" were interpreted as "by the C" (as in cannabis),

the word "mist" stood for "smoke",

the land of "Honahlee" stood for hashish,

and "dragon" was interpreted as "draggin'" (i.e., inhaling smoke).

Similarly, the name "Puff" was alleged to be a reference to taking a "puff" on a joint.

The Aitvaras is a type of flying dragon/rooster in Baltic mythology that has been depicted as a luck-bringer or a trickster spirit. They are also referred to as household spirits, little demons, and even nature spirits. 

It is an unpredictable creature that can transform into various forms depending on its current environment. For instance, it can look like a black cat or a black cockerel inside the house.

As a type of serpent, the Aitvaras have the head of a lucky grass snake. They can transform into various shapes and can fly at any time.

'Mercurius Duplex' [M.D] is 'enhanced' as a result of increased DMT [Di-Methyl Tryptamine].

MARCION was an early Christian 'Philosopher' [branded a 'Heretic by Tertullian]who had His adherents..

Marcionites held that the God of the Hebrew Bible was inconsistent, jealous, wrathful and genocidal, and that the material world he created was defective, a place of suffering; the God who made such a world is a bungling or malicious demiurge.

They therefore reject the entire Old Testament.[Satan was doing this 'God's work.. yeah right]


Chanvre Indien [indica] is Cannabis. Apparently 'Marijuana' is historically a racist word derived from Mexico.?

So who were the 'racists?' 

Notwithstanding this , Cannabis is used as a laxative in China- especially for elderly people..

and strangely enough as an 'anti-emitic' in some Cancer treatments.

It is widely cultivated in Vietnam. [and practically every other Country with a City]

           

'Puff' was also a 'nickname' in the Vietnam conflict for a AC -47 'Spooky' Aeroplane Gunship...

[see My 'Writing 'Fuck' on an Aeroplane' Post]..nothing 'magic' about that Dragon.. Dude..


Seems ridiculous to Me that Cannabis is 'illegal' in many places, yet the ability to purchase lethal weaponry - Guns Knives Napalm Cluster Bombs Helicopter Gunships 
and Inter continental  Missiles is  legal ?
