The Western Gate

Toing and Froing, Up 'n' Down in the Earth


A Note from the Demon to the Exorcist.

That I, disembodied before Abraham first sandal footed his way as the patriarch of lent and borrowed tales, should bow down to such new song, Or even, would I!
And I, to be constrained and subjugated by the name and litany of words assigned to Jesus Christ?


Is there any understanding in the arrogance of the exorcist and priest? They, with translated, expurgated and formatted law, their scripture as if it were the whip and they the taskmasters, and all in proximity of their lash expect submission.


Am I, of the same mindset of those born and raised in times when Religion would cast the Fear of any God into all, when fear of accusation of blasphemy or heresy would condemn their soul, and they believed it so. Would I in full knowledge of the truth, kneel before such a contrived boundary.
And, if you believe so, that the oldest of us can be swayed by the new laws, then ponder on the question, Can an Atheist be possessed and then exorcised?

Think also, Why would a demon in all the cunning to inhabit a vessel be so apparent? Why would that demon, there to exploit the vessel and live as an enjoyer in the realms of flesh and to pursue such pleasures announce its becoming with blasphemy, outrage and vomit? Would I not, in my cunning and subtle nature live un-noticed and walk amongst the living as the thief in the night to pursue pleasures and indulge in merriment and mayhem without drawing attention to myself.


Your games of folly are rehearsed, and the players are those who abide by those rules, those poor sufferers of trauma and divided and shattered personalities hiding behind masks, your puppets, you created.


You do not know me, and cannot diminish this fire.


You are the predators of the weak, tormenting those who yield their life because of pain and anguish, and you are ready to increase their suffering, ply them with guilt, and mould them as your pliant and docile feeders.


The Power of Christ does not compel them, in their hopeless torment and want of escape they open their arms that you would embrace them, and love them. Their epiphany is surrender to hope. Their path allowed is belief. And what is worse for the fragile mind living only on faith, but to live a lie. So blame the father of lies, your manipulation and deception, when the lie itself is that which you have crafted.

Do not talk of love and mercy and forgiveness in the magnificence of your palace to the exiled or watchers at the outpost.

The Random musings of a nobody. “Dagenham Dave”, is slang for someone one stop short of Barking (mad), though more contemporarily refers to any wayfaring and carefree person. Dagenham is a town to the eastern side of London (Luds Dominium) that was first recorded in a Barking charter in 666a.d. as the town of Daeccanham. Daecca is an ancient man’s name meaning ‘bright’ or ‘famous’ . Ham is short for Hamlet.
Dave is short for David, Hebrew for ‘Beloved’, My Surname ‘Wenborn’ derives from old English meaning of the Winding Stream.

1/ Book Reviews.

They’re not reviews as such- to recommend or asway, I neither seek to promote nor condemn, more my personal reflections on the books I read. In that respect it’s a subjective thing. I write the reviews as it instils in the mind, like writing down your dreams on waking, the right to remember.

2/ Short Stories and Tales

Short stories borne from imagination, dreams, thoughts and wanderings. Too large to be written in my journal of shadows.

3/ Full Books
Books that were once published elsewhere, I have full copyright on these, and of course given here freely.

4/ Magazines and Articles

Small snippets and articles that may or may not have appeared elsewhere, and information not included in Journal of shadows.

A small selection of poetry. Like song, I create as a means to an artistic diary.
