Chapter 8. The Making of a Seiðman 204
was debatable). It was at the same time that I contracted pneumonia which began
on December 18, 1991, and ended on Sept. 3, 1992.
Now I must talk about the changes in my body that occurred during that period
of time. These were not changes in this sense of the changes that hormones make at
puberty; these were a complete restructuring/rebuilding of my body as would take
place under a surgeon’s knife after a severe car crash. My surgeons were not people;
they were ghosts.
The first ghost who came to me and spoke in my madness was what is called
in common language “pneumonia.” Pneumonia spoke to me from the first day
(12/18/91). I was told that time that was being necessarily rebuilt and that he
would be living with me for the next ten months. I was also told that time that
I was completely devoid of luck in that my fate was in the hands of ghosts and
that there was nothing that I can do to interfere with their procedures. Of course,
I didn’t believe a single word of it. The way I figured it, I was hallucinating (or
something along those lines). I told the hallucination/phantasm that I would easily
override the silliness of the whole thing by scheduling a doctor’s appointment and
getting a prescription for some strong and antibiotics. To my surprise the ghost
responded with “Go-ahead, do whatever you think is proper, but we run the show
now. The timeframe of ten months stands no matter what you do and you can
either make it hard on yourself or roll with it.” This was rather shocking news to
me but I went ahead and scheduled the doctor’s appointment anyway. The reader
must understand that I am naturally a skeptic, and skeptics don’t generally put the
fate of their lives in the hands of hallucinations or dreams.
I went to the doctor who confirmed the pneumonia and promptly started a
round of antibiotics. These were well but only for period of about two weeks. I was
sick that was losing weight quickly. I dropped down to 138 pounds. My face was
hollow as is common with those hospitalized with pneumonia. I continued with my
skeptical approach throughout the entire course of the pneumonia and returned to
the doctor for antibiotics three more times. Oddly, I was never hospitalized for the
disease although I’m not sure why did this day. I’ve seen my medical chart that I
doctor’s office (I work in the medical field so have access to my own chart) and the
diagnosis at that time was severe chronic pneumonia with pleurisy). Throughout
this time the hallucinations or madness continued and I was never able to accept
that “pneumonia and his cronies” were running the show until Sept. 3rd, 1992.
Over the course of the next ten months I was visited by a number of ghosts who
continue to accompany me to this day. The first ghost was that of the Fly Agaric,
amanita muscaria, which scared me. This ghost came in several dreams/hallucinations.
“He” told me who he was, where and when he could be found, and how he was to
be prepared. Eternal skeptic that I am I looked up Fly Agaric in not just one
