Stefano Looks For Fireworks

Stefano was searching for something big.
He was young and inexperienced, and afraid of 'getting in with the wrong crowd', but he was
looking for something more than just everyday living, mainly because he could sense it being
there somehow.
He tried meditating, but he couldn't quiet his mind for more than a few seconds, as his mind
was hyperactive and jumping from thing to thing like a flea on a hot skillet.
He looked through the internet, searching for the instant results he craved, wanting to be able
to do fireworks from his fingers, just like they did in the movies and tv, and he found so much
stuff about the occult that he would never get through it all!
There were people who sold books on how to do things just like he wanted to do it, and he
spent his birthday money on them, but they either didn't come or didn't make sense when they
did.
Nobody would tell him what to do to get the 'it' he needed, the power to do whatever he
wanted to do, and right then in that instant, with the effects right there for all to see!
He knew there was that power out there, but his parents warned him of bad people on the
internet, and he didn't like the things some people said, and some of the people on the forums
were awful and mean, or just wanted to argue.
He needed someone to show him how to get what he wanted in the here and now, not to
debate the ancient meanings of occult things!
He wanted basic, do­able, helpful information, packaged in a way he could understand, and
something that didn't take a long time to learn.
He had no money for special occult tools, or more useless books, or even time to study
beyond some few hours he could spend on the internet, and he didn't want to work with bad
things, but to embrace only the light and the good.
Then, one day, he found a place where they suggested that beginners could use deities, since
they have the power that the beginners hadn't achieved yet.
It rang a bell in his mind, almost like a prayer was answered!
He had played around with Wicca, but didn't like the feel of it, or the fact that they said he
should let go of his pride.
His pride was what he was, he wanted everyone to be proud, and even a little afraid, of him,
and his belief in himself was what he was looking to build up, just like they said in school for
him to always do.
On the forum they had said to choose an entity from a particular timeframe, and give the
deity a gift that they liked, and the deity, in return, would give him the power he craved, or
something like that.
He had read it too fast and didn't really digest it, but he wanted the power to stop bullies and
bullets, and save the planet, and just be a really powerful magician.
It was something he had not really planned, but he wanted the super­abilities like he saw on
the movies and tv shows and read about in books and even heard in his music, and right now,
since it had to be something that would let him be able to do stuff quickly too, since he had
no time to devote to it.
These deities would give him the power, and wouldn't his mom be so proud of him when he
could fly, and the bullies at school would be afraid of him enough to leave him alone, at least
after he taught them a lesson or two.
Following the instructions given on the internet, he looked through the lists of ancient Gods
and Goddesses, but none really rang a bell with him, and some were actually left a bad taste
in his mouth after reading about them.
He though that the God he had learned about in Sunday School was cool, and the
Commandment to 'have no other Gods before me' struck home, and he wondered if he could
follow the same instructions to get the power from his 'Real God' as opposed to those ancient
ones?
The internet had said to choose the God or Goddess, and then to give them a gift that they
wanted, and then to watch for their influence, or voice, working through their symbol, which
would just be feelings and stuff that appeared inside his head, always if his God worked the
same way as the other Gods and Goddesses did, then that should be easy!
First he had been instructed to give the God or Goddess of his choice a gift, and for his God,
that, according to what his Mom said was in the Bible, would be a House for God with an
Altar.
It was pretty easy to setup an Altar to God in a Christian house like his, and he found a lot of
pictures of Altars on the internet, but what was the symbol for God?
His religion said that God was un­formed, kind of like a gas as opposed to a solid like they
had learned in chemistry class, and he suddenly understood somehow that anything solidified
into a physical form would contain errors, since nothing physical was perfect, except for
maybe the son of God, and that must be what Original Sin must be!
He did more research on the internet and decided that the Cross was the perfect symbol for
God, but one site on the internet said the Cross had nothing to do with the Crucifiction of
Jesus, but the pouring down of power on the individual, which was just what he wanted!
He could even see a Cross himself if he went outside and squinted at the sun like the website
said to do! The Solar Cross was the symbol of the Word, the Power, coming down on him!
Finding the one Cross he liked, one that looked something like what was the image he saw
when he squinted at the sun, took a long time, but he got one at last and put it on his bedside
table.
His mom approved highly and patted his head, and he smiled under her love, as she was like
the earth and their home and everything that made him smile.
He even included a small image of Jesus and a Bible on his new Altar in this new House for
God, and he did just like they did in Church, giving it a gift of some bread and a few drops of
wine he got from his mom's empty glass, of course in Church they gave it to the people, not
to the symbols of the deity.
He started dreaming about things he had never thought about before, things like flying really
fast to strange places where he would try to fix things he didn't understand, and took
instruction on it from a teacher, and he noticed he was having feelings about people and
places and things, almost a gut reaction to them.
Sometimes people even made him physically sick feeling and he wanted to get away from
them when they were cussing, and other things made him feel good and made him smile,
almost from the inside, like when he read something good about God.
He had eagerly started to almost run to Church, seeing as he had always held back before
when he was made to go, but some things the preacher said didn't make much sense, but
when the preacher talked about God, Stefano listened intently.
Again, some of what he heard turned his stomach and actually made him queasy or nauseous.
Surely this was not his perfect and infallable and omnipotemt God that the preacher was
talking about!
He didn't understand where these feelings were coming from and why he was having them,
and he was getting very tired of waiting for his super­powers to show up since he had done
all the things the people had said do, including giving almost everything he had to the
Church.
He still couldn't control lightning, or levitate and fly around, or stop cars in their tracks, so he
dumped the Cross in the trash and quit trying.
It was all a lie and there was no such thing as magic, no matter what anybody said.

The End
