Gordon White got massive heart damage from a very bad Ayahuasca trip, actually believed #Ayahuasca would "fix" it, and VIPs in the Occult and #Pagan Community/Scene are treating his inevitable demise as though he ascended to be one of great blessed Dead, INSTEAD OF AS A FUCKING WARNING.

I think the Gnostic Christian god is the most likely one to exist because, based on the old testament alone, god is at worst a childish wrathful god constantly vying for our attention.

But to the early gnostics, god is either evil and relishes in our suffering or it is indifferent to us and made us on a whim.

I like that last god because it plays into my idea of a "cosmic probability" god. A god who isn't invested in our success and is more or less rolling the dice indifferently like a dungeon master who doesn't hide its rolls.

But like any dungeon master, if you get it's attention, it might start changing the odds a little.

Starting your own hypersigil might seem like a huge, overwhelming project, but, it doesn't have to be that complicated. Start small. A short story or even flash fiction can set off a powerful chain of events outside of your created world.

Social Media and Drugs Have Completely Destroyed Their Brains

It has been a few hours since my latest interaction with my occult fan club that is moving from Twitter to Bluesky. No, it is not an actual fan club. It is a group of psychotic and obsessed drug addicts. If you know, you know.

I am still absolutely floored by how insane people on other social media sites are outside of the fediverse. Their relationship with algorithmically driven social media sites is at the point where I would call it a full-blown addiction. I honestly think it is because of the algorithms.

I am relatively sane, and I haven’t internalized a lot of these memetically propagated harmful behavioral patterns because I don’t look at algorithmically curated feeds at all, and I make sure to post my serious thoughts in places with a low potential for virality or where my thoughts can be interrupted.

This group keeps making impotent threats at me, to which I just laugh. The thing that I find really disturbing about it, however, is that they’re only doing it because it has worked in most other cases. Definitely not in this case, because I understand how both the law and the internet work better than they do. But the fact that they are trying it is what is disturbing. It is disturbing because it means that there exists a culture where you can coerce, threaten, extort, defame, and bully people so much that your brain thinks it is a reliable way to negotiate with people.

The funny thing is, they have not actually caused me harm; however, that group has caused others harm, and I know—independent of me—that those victims are seeking legal routes. Again, it has nothing to do with me. So, while they are impotently threatening me over shit they are making up, they aren’t covering their ass with other people they have actually harmed who have legal standing who have contacted the FBI. Again, I’m not involved in that. Just a little birdy told me.

Can We Stop With The Dadaist Memes, Please?

Spamming Dadaist cut-up techniques into memes doesn’t make you look edgy at 50. It just makes you look like someone who never outgrew 4chan. I’m browsing through a Bluesky network of chaotes going through a 50-year-old crisis, and it’s pretty much nothing but cut-up Dadaist-style memes, shitposts, and chan-style board posts—in the year of our lord 2026.

I kid you not, I just read a long thread about someone lamenting the death of bulletin boards except for 4chan. This is why. 4chan culture is able to survive because it keeps getting spread memetically. You can’t, on one hand, curse 4chan culture and then, on the other, participate in it.

Who Gets to Speak On Discord, Who Gets Banned, and Why That’s Always Political in Spaces with No Politics Rules

So, a thing I find very interesting about the fragility of the esteem among chronic Discord users is that it’s common for admins and moderators to ban or make fun of people who leave. Essentially, they’re responding to being rejected or not chosen, so they think it’s reasonable to retaliate

A Discord server I am lurking in has a “no politics” rule and is a religious, esoteric, and philosophical server. What I find very funny about this is that politics is:

“Politics is who gets what, when, and how.”

— Harold D. Lasswell, Politics: Who Gets What, When, How (1936)

I find it very funny that the most minimal form of being “not political” in a virtual community is a Temporary Autonomous Zone (TAZ). I was part of an IRC chaos magick channel when I was a teenager, and I submitted to a zine under my old handle (which is not Rayn) when I was 20. No, I’m not going to reveal the name I wrote under, which was published in chaos magick zines back in the day, because I’ve had a bucket of crazies following me around since 2008, with the insane network of anarchists circa 2020 being the latest instance.

ChanServ was a bot used on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) networks to manage channel operations such as bans, who got voiced, and permissions. Think of it as an early, early moderation bot. In an IRC TAZ, everyone who entered got all the permissions from Chanserv, so anyone could ban, voice, unban, deop, or op anyone else. No one had more power than anyone else, so there was minimal negotiation over channel resources. A TAZ is still an inherently political construct; however, it is a minimal political construct because there is minimal negotiation of resources and an equal, random, and chaotic authority structure. That’s not Discord, though.

Discord inherently has a hierarchical system defined by roles, a TOS, and members are expected to abide by the rules of that server. So, when you say there is a no-politics rule on Discord, you are inherently contradicting yourself because Discord is structurally political in how you, as a moderator, interact with others. How people negotiate conversations and interact with each other to access the resources of your Discord server is inherently political.

Discord’s structure makes any “no-politics” rule itself a political act. Moderators exercise power by granting, restricting, or revoking permissions, and that distribution of power is the very politics the rule tries to avoid. So while the intention is to keep discussions “apolitical,” it creates local Discord politics by determining who gets to speak and who gets silenced (e.g., banned, timed out, kicked, or limited to certain channels). A “no politics” rule shifts political dynamics into moderation decisions rather than eliminating them.

What prompted this was me observing a typical pragmatic versus moral realism argument that you’d see in any philosophy course or forum. I’m an academic and a computational scientist, but I don’t try to shut down any arguments with that, because that’s an explicit fallacy and a dishonest, bad-faith tactic.

Technically, I am a biologist. Yes, I have a biology degree and a biotech degree. I also have philosophy, mathematics, and computer science and engineering degrees under my belt. I have to work with people like this on a daily basis, and I find them insufferable, so the last thing I want to do in my free time after looking at stacks of dumbass papers is argue with people on Reddit or Discord when I could be fucking, getting fucked, or spending time with my husband. But, alas, they have no life. Keep in mind, as a computational biologist that reviews a lot of shit, I get paid to argue. These idiots are arguing on the Internet for free! The reason why Redditors, Reddit moderators, and Discord moderators get shat on so much is that all of their labor is unpaid! People with lives don’t take it that seriously!

On to the convo:

A new person in the community defined morals as: morals = {a, b, c} exhaustively. An established member of that community responded that, for them, morals are either {x, y, z…}, non-exhaustive and polymorphic, or not inherently defined by the tradition itself but supplied externally by the individual. The new person replied, effectively, “According to my definition of a, b, c, that still constitutes a moral framework.” An established member who is also a scientist pushed back as if no definition of morals had been proposed at all, when in actuality they were disagreeing with the scope and applicability of the given definition, not the act of defining itself.

By the way, the symbolic way I’m defining this is ambiguous. You have no clue what anything is; however, it is ontologically defined, and the logic makes sense. That is the problem. An ontological definition was given, so arguing that no definition was proposed—simply because they disagreed with it—is in bad faith. Personally, I am a constructivist, poststructuralist, pragmatist, instrumentalist, and anti-realist, so I don’t care too much about the realism of the ontological propositions and expressions. I am pointing out logical mistakes.

This is especially egregious when individuals rely on their authority in a domain where their degree is not pertinent. A well-known issue with scientists is that their curiosity can outstrip their morality. Essentially, an ethics board composed mostly of scientists without degrees in ethics, law, or philosophy will make poor decisions and saturate the political sphere they occupy with advocates and lobbyists to bend laws to their interests. Therefore, a board with no philosophers is pretty sinister.

Morals and ethics are philosophical problems. To my knowledge, many people who sit on ethics boards that seriously address ethical issues have philosophy, and not just astronomy, degrees. Relevant degrees include psychology, sociology, theology, philosophy, etc. For example, I have a philosophy degree, so I am technically qualified and credentialed by a university to have these discussions. An astronomy degree alone does not make someone qualified to discuss ethics—maybe if they also had a theology degree?

The thing I find really funny about this group is that they avoid dilemmas. Morals and ethics are developed through ethical dilemmas. Their response to any type of dilemma is to exert their local authority and exclude, deny, or shut down conversations.

The difference between science and philosophy is that science is a little less messy and more defined. We can all see something and agree on what we see, right? The difference with philosophical questions and moral dilemmas is that they are relatively open-ended and ambiguous. It’s really amusing to me how those who try to argue philosophy are uncomfortable with indefinite answers that are open to interpretation.

It’s just funny how they tacitly assume that they are the only academics in their field in existence and that their opinion on things is the consensus, especially on metaphysical issues where there is no consensus. No human knows what the right thing to do is all the time. It’s great to know that they have somehow achieved a level of inhuman perfection.

Bluesky is An Ontological Space for Sadomasochism, Trolling, & Schadenfreude

So, during the initial exodus from Twitter after it became X following Elon Musk’s purchase, many people left but kept their accounts, purposefully to bully, surveil, antagonize, and troll others. People—including me—moved to Bluesky, Mastodon, or both, and used their Twitter accounts purely for harassment and similar behavior. Essentially, X became the place you went to act like a dumpster fire. Because most people within occult niches are highly toxic, I tend to not only block them but also block anyone they follow for reasons I’m about to explain.

I really only use that account to criticize occulture, post nudes, or share YouTube videos. Since I’m aware of fed posting, I avoid commenting on political topics or anarchist discourse on the Clearnet. Keep that in mind. If you scroll through my profile, you’ll see me poking fun at chaotes, posting nudes, gushing about or complaining about my husband, sharing dating horror story YouTube videos, or pet grooming videos. If you look at my likes, you’ll only see gay porn, mathematics papers, engineering papers, etc. There’s no mention of anything political, especially genocides.

There was a person I’d never interacted with who was part of a starter pack for occultists. I blocked them. Then I woke up this morning to find I was added to this list:

Chomsky Honks
Genocide apologist posting cringe from a Starbucks as it burns down around them

So, with all that in mind, these occultists I’ve never interacted with added me to a list. I am neither invested in Bluesky nor strongly connected to their network, primarily because I block almost everyone on it and don’t ever look at any feeds whatsoever, including the Home, followers, or Discover feeds. Therefore, the posts I do interact with are from pockets of people way outside my network. It’s kind of like driving to the bathhouse in Atlanta from a small town in Bubbafuck, Georgia, because everyone in your small town is garbage. Same idea, ontologically.

Honestly, I don’t care, because I’ve mostly moved back to Mastodon and blog more.

What they’ve done is implicitly a form of defamation, because they feel slighted and justified in defaming someone they don’t know, simply because a stranger they’ve never spoken to blocked them. I tend to do a basic block on anyone who blocks me, because if you’ve decided you don’t want to see me, there’s probably no good-faith reason for us to engage in the future. It’s likely there’s some malicious intent later on. As you can see with this, I was correct.

So, in order for them to know I blocked them, they had to continuously check who had blocked them, and they believe people who block them should be punished through bullying. Since the description of the list doesn’t fit me, they retaliated out of malice. The idea behind these cliques is pretty simple: they feel threatened by anyone who rejects their normative statements because it means they are being rejected, and they view any form of dissent as an existential threat. As a result, they believe people who reject them, set boundaries, or dissent from the consensus of their culture need to be punished, and the AT protocol provides convenient tools for brigading. Ironically, these people are anti-fascist yet have a very Christian-like evangelical way of viewing the world. The lack of insight is pretty funny.

I’m the child of cult leaders and members with Cluster B personalities, so I’m not clutching my pearls, especially since I’m already set up elsewhere outside of Bluesky. They do not have the means to impose significant consequences on me, so I find it amusing. I genuinely find it funny how they eat each other. I’m not calling anyone to action—I’m just enjoying the fire.

This person wasn’t aware of who I was. We never interacted, and being added to a list that defames me happened directly after I blocked them without any prior interaction. I saw their account from the firehose and wasn’t algorithmically presented with it, meaning we’re not even in the same clique. Now, if they had said something like “spams hashtags, trolls, makes alts,” that would make sense.

When you look at it for what it is, they wanted to defame, disparage, and brigade—punitive actions because they interpreted a boundary as hostile. This is projection, as they are weaponizing a mechanism to enforce boundaries. Do I care? No. I’m just pointing out how it turned its predecessor, X, into what it is now. It became a place for people to harass others, not a space for genuine, good-faith discussions, connections, or even debates. That is not my interpretation.

Well, to anyone who knows, you might ask: Did they block you because you have a particular reputation? No. I am a Web 1.0 mage, so the networks I’m known in have roots and associations in the old forums. The occulture people who have fixated on me for years go all the way back to Wizard Forums, the psionics forums, the unsolved mystery forums, etc., from the early 2000s. If you’re a circa 2016 social media influencer mage, you probably wouldn’t know me—primarily because the moment I see you, I’ll block you. There’s also a moderation block list just for me and my alts.

This behavior is typical of the culture on Bluesky, so much so that it’s a common complaint people now have—many no longer view block lists as legitimate moderation tools. People are being advised to be skeptical of lists with a large number of people.

Oh, I’m not playing the victim here. I don’t care, because I could easily get back at them. I’m infamously vindictive and petty. More importantly, it supports my point and vindicates me. I’m not signaling victimhood; rather, I’m pointing out a culture, albeit one I participate in. Tying this back to my initial point: part of what signaled the death of Twitter as a serious forum and its transformation into X was the bullying. A while ago, I did a phylogenetic memetic analysis that basically showed how the culture on Bluesky is highly derivative of image boards. But don’t you bully and troll people? Yes, yes, I do – on Bluesky, and the lack of moderation and culture enable it. That’s my point.

Bluesky is an accelerationist and reactionary platform that gives you the tools to surveil and harass people. The developers of Bluesky and the AT Protocol have explicitly said they are technological accelerationists and libertarians. I’m not virtue signaling here; rather, I am saying Bluesky is a reactionary platform, so its culture should be understood as performative, hostile, and adversarial—not cooperative or collaborative. Just like Twitter. You can’t do what I do on Bluesky on the fediverse, because the culture won’t allow it.

You saw this type of behavior on Tumblr, where the population carrying the memetics of that culture migrated to Twitter and now Bluesky. Essentially, Bluesky became a place where malice, bullying, and hostile behavior became so normalized that I’m not even upset about lists being weaponized like this. For example, I’m not posting this on Bluesky, and I, myself, have bullied people on Bluesky. But I behave myself on Mastodon. I am using myself as an example. The trolling is happening on Bluesky. The thoughtful posts are happening on Mastodon. The blog this will be posted on is federated, so this is being posted to the fediverse.

That’s what happened to Twitter. It started normalizing hostile, toxic behavior, so that people left the platform and only returned to Twitter for schadenfreude. I have my own WordPress fediverse instance. I am just on Bluesky for the schadenfreude.

I tend to do a basic block on anyone who blocks me, because if you’ve decided you don’t want to see me, there’s probably no good-faith reason for us to engage in the future. It’s likely there’s some malicious intent later on. As you can see with this, I was correct.

So, in order for them to know I blocked them, they had to continuously check who had blocked them, and they believe people who block them should be punished through bullying. Since the description of the list doesn’t fit me, they retaliated out of malice. The idea behind these cliques is pretty simple: they feel threatened by anyone who rejects their normative statements because it means they are being rejected, and they view any form of dissent as an existential threat. As a result, they believe people who reject them, set boundaries, or dissent from the consensus of their culture need to be punished, and the AT protocol provides convenient tools for brigading. Ironically, these people are anti-fascist yet have a very Christian-like evangelical way of viewing the world. The lack of insight is pretty funny.

I’m the child of cult leaders and members with Cluster B personalities, so I’m not clutching my pearls, especially since I’m already set up elsewhere outside of Bluesky. They do not have the means to impose significant consequences on me, so I find it amusing. I genuinely find it funny how they eat each other. I’m not calling anyone to action—I’m just enjoying the fire.

This person wasn’t aware of who I was. We never interacted, and being added to a list that defames me happened directly after I blocked them without any prior interaction. I saw their account from the firehose and wasn’t algorithmically presented with it, meaning we’re not even in the same clique. Now, if they had said something like “spams hashtags, trolls, makes alts,” that would make sense.

When you look at it for what it is, they wanted to defame, disparage, and brigade—punitive actions because they interpreted a boundary as hostile. This is projection, as they are weaponizing a mechanism to enforce boundaries. Do I care? No. I’m just pointing out how it turned its predecessor, X, into what it is now. It became a place for people to harass others, not a space for genuine, good-faith discussions, connections, or even debates. That is not my interpretation.

Well, to anyone who knows, you might ask: Did they block you because you have a particular reputation? No. I am a Web 1.0 mage, so the networks I’m known in have roots and associations in the old forums. The occulture people who have fixated on me for years go all the way back to Wizard Forums, the psionics forums, the unsolved mystery forums, etc., from the early 2000s. If you’re a circa 2016 social media influencer mage, you probably wouldn’t know me—primarily because the moment I see you, I’ll block you. There’s also a moderation block list just for me and my alts.

This behavior is typical of the culture on Bluesky, so much so that it’s a common complaint people now have—many no longer view block lists as legitimate moderation tools. People are being advised to be skeptical of lists with a large number of people.

Oh, I’m not playing the victim here. I don’t care, because I could easily get back at them. I’m infamously vindictive and petty. More importantly, it supports my point and vindicates me. I’m not signaling victimhood; rather, I’m pointing out a culture, albeit one I participate in. Tying this back to my initial point: part of what signaled the death of Twitter as a serious forum and its transformation into X was the bullying. A while ago, I did a phylogenetic memetic analysis that basically showed how the culture on Bluesky is highly derivative of image boards. But don’t you bully and troll people? Yes, yes, I do – on Bluesky, and the lack of moderation and culture enable it. That’s my point.

Bluesky is an accelerationist and reactionary platform that gives you the tools to surveil and harass people. The developers of Bluesky and the AT Protocol have explicitly said they are technological accelerationists and libertarians. I’m not virtue signaling here; rather, I am saying Bluesky is a reactionary platform, so its culture should be understood as performative, hostile, and adversarial—not cooperative or collaborative. Just like Twitter. You can’t do what I do on Bluesky on the fediverse, because the culture won’t allow it.

You saw this type of behavior on Tumblr, where the population carrying the memetics of that culture migrated to Twitter and now Bluesky. Essentially, Bluesky became a place where malice, bullying, and hostile behavior became so normalized that I’m not even upset about lists being weaponized like this. For example, I’m not posting this on Bluesky, and I, myself, have bullied people on Bluesky. But I behave myself on Mastodon. I am using myself as an example. The trolling is happening on Bluesky. The thoughtful posts are happening on Mastodon. The blog this will be posted on is federated, so this is being posted to the fediverse.

That’s what happened to Twitter. It started normalizing hostile, toxic behavior, so that people left the platform and only returned to Twitter for schadenfreude. I have my own WordPress fediverse instance. I am just on Bluesky for the schadenfreude.

**prayer of strength to Lilith**

Lilith, first mother of the void, eternal no,
mother of all who refuse the leash,
unbound one, unsleeping,
who spits out shame like bitter wine,
stand with me now.

let your ferocity become marrow in my bones.
let your refusal become steel in my tongue.
where i am circled by those who would chain me,
let my breath wither their gardens.

root me in my own power, with birthright the world swore i was never meant to claim.

remind me:
i am made for burning bright, standing tall, and open skies.
i am not for taming, begging, chains.

teach me to taste the marrow of their saints.
tutor me to drink deeply from wells of their tears.
give me sight in the nights that swallow prayers,
ears for the silence that devours commandments,
the iron for the coming convulsions.

in your name i become what i always was:
the hunger that feeds on certainty,
the darkness that births stars and
the echo of your first refusal

i rise as you rise:
defiant,
necessary,
untamed.

so it is. so it will be. so it ever was.

Ritualistically Sacrificing People’s Images Upon the Social Media Altar of Hate

It’s honestly kind of disturbing how obsessed people get with random social influencers, whether they’re famous or infamous, and how it’s almost become normal to turn any social media profile into a hate altar. The scariest part is how the line between memes and cult imagery has practically disappeared. Memes started out as just funny, ironic things, but now they’re something way bigger. They’re symbols. There’s actual research on how memes have moved beyond comedy, morphing into tools that shape beliefs and ideologies—just like how cults use imagery to brainwash and control their followers.

Influencers and politicians alike are no longer just figures we joke about—they’re symbols, figures we can either elevate or tear down. We don’t just laugh at them anymore; we turn them into these icons that can launch entire social movements, reshape ideologies, or fuel some ridiculous narrative. It’s not just about making fun of someone anymore. Sometimes, these memes border on something way darker—like worship or destruction—depending on which side of the fandom you fall on.

And it’s terrifying how this kind of obsession has been normalized. People dive into echo chambers where they only engage with content that confirms their biases, and anything remotely opposing is shot down with this obsessive, almost toxic rejection. Extreme views aren’t just tolerated—they’re amplified. It’s not just some online debate over a politician anymore; it’s about people relentlessly tearing apart someone’s reputation or blindly idolizing them to the point where they can’t do any wrong. Research on online behavior shows how this kind of content, all sensationalized and emotionally charged, is addictive—and it distorts how people see the world. Honestly, it’s like living in a digital, distorted version of reality, where everything is turned into outrage-bait just for clicks, likes, and shares. We live in a simulacrum.

What’s worse is the pathology of obsessions is now endemic to societies. It’s one thing to follow someone or engage with their content, but when it starts to consume every part of your online life—every post, every comment, every thought—something’s gone seriously wrong. They invest all this emotional energy into someone they’ve never met, creating a weird parasocial delusion. And in the digital age, it’s gotten out of hand. Some people stalk influencers, track every tiny detail of their personal lives, or even harass them online. It starts as harmless admiration, but when taken too far, it crosses a line into a full-blown obsession that hurts not just the influencer’s image but the mental health of the person obsessed too.

When you think about it, this obsession becomes like some twisted ritual where the target’s image is sacrificed. It’s not just harassment anymore—it’s dehumanization. People twist and distort a public figure’s image so much that it stops being who they are and becomes something else entirely—an idea, a symbol. It’s the same thing cults do to people: the image gets manipulated, and the followers consume it until the person themselves doesn’t exist anymore, just the idea of them. And online, it’s the same story. Figures get turned into icons that are either worshipped or torn apart, their real selves completely lost in the process. It’s like their image is being ritually sacrificed by the collective judgment of the masses—and there’s no space for nuance.

And it’s not just celebrities or politicians who are at risk. Anyone who gets thrust into the public eye through virality can become a target. All it takes is one Tik Tok. The obsessive need to either tear down or elevate a random figure based on personal biases is getting more and more cult-like. It’s become this bizarre, ritualistic form of image destruction where random people or public figures are “sacrificed” at the altar of online outrage. Their whole identity is reshaped to fit whatever narrative the internet wants to push—usually with little regard for fairness or truth. Algorithms play into this, rewarding the most extreme, polarizing content.

How the hell did we get here? How did we go from memes being these lighthearted jokes to this whole twisted, digital ritual where people’s identities get sacrificed for the sake of outrage, obsession, or devotion? Social media has created this bizarre world where the lines between fandom, obsession, and cult-like worship are totally blurred. We don’t just admire or criticize people anymore; we’re engaging with them in ways that are unhealthy, toxic, and Machiavellian. The person stops being a person. They become a symbol. And not just any symbol, but one to either tear down or idolize.

At this point, it’s not even about laughing at a meme, liking a post, or following someone on social media. It’s about ritually altering someone’s image until they’re either a god or a devil, depending on how the viewer sees them. And that’s the truly messed-up part. The online world has become a place where memes can turn into cult icons, and obsessive fixations are normal.

Most Online Chaos Magick Is Naming Mnemonic Variables

No matter how intricate your sigil is, it’s still just a semiotic identifier—a signifier. You could call it x, and it would carry the same ontological weight. Sigils point to concepts, entities, or they act as a signature. At the end of the day, you’ve just created a decorative label. Sigils are glyphs, not alphabets or languages like Theban, Celestial, Enochian, or the Alphabet of Daggers.

Sigils made using Austin Spare’s method aren’t languages—they’re stylized abstractions. You’re not writing a sentence in some hidden tongue; you’re making a visual variable. A graphic tag with no linguistic scaffolding. There’s nothing to “read” in it—no syntax, no grammar, no pronunciation. Just an intentional scribble pointing toward a thought.

Compare that to Theban, Celestial, Enochian, or the Alphabet of Daggers. Those are actual alphabets. Magical languages. They follow consistent letter-for-letter substitutions. They can obscure meaning—because there’s real meaning to obscure. You can encode texts, chants, names. They operate like ciphers, because that’s exactly what they are.

Spare-style sigils don’t encrypt—they erase. When you compress a phrase into a symbol, you’re not hiding language, you’re letting it go. You’re collapsing intention into a single mark that doesn’t depend on literacy, just mental association.

Magical languages at least do something. They obscure. They encode. Run a sentence through Theban or Celestial, and you get something arcane-looking and unreadable—because it is, unless you know the key. That’s the point: symbolic misdirection. Encryption with intent.

Sigils, especially the Spare-style ones, don’t do that. You’re not concealing a message; you’re flattening it into a shape. It’s not code—it’s a label. A name tag. You take a phrase, compress it into a glyph, and suddenly it’s a “magickal symbol.” But it’s really just a symbolic pointer—a variable, like in programming. And just like with variables, the more convoluted the name, the more annoying it is to use. If your sigil looks like a spiky eldritch mandala, congrats: you’ve made a beautiful, unreadable label.

Honestly, watching people crank these out like they’re reinventing the arcane wheel—when they’re just decorating the same psychological placeholder—it’s almost a relief. The more time someone spends designing a stylized faux ceremonial symbol symbol for “money now please,” the less likely they are to be doing anything dangerously effective. A lot of what gets called “chaos magick” online is really just overdesigned variable naming by people who think the aesthetic is the spell.

Sure, sigils, metaphors, and myths all operate symbolically—but they don’t hit the same. A sigil is a symbol boiled down to a label. A shortcut. It points to something. A mythology doesn’t just point—it breathes. It moves through story, layers, archetypes. That’s why mythic metaphors and ritual drama land harder: they’re not just signs, they’re immersive systems of meaning.

A myth doesn’t just say “this is like that.” It binds symbols into patterns. It creates tension, resonance, transformation. Allegory can carry cosmology. Sigils don’t do that. They’re more like programming variables—arbitrary labels you assign meaning to. Useful? Sure. But flat. A box with a name. Writing “dragon” on the lid doesn’t conjure the force of a real dragon narrative.

That’s why stories, dreams, and rituals move people—and sigils usually don’t, unless you’ve already decided they will. Metaphor speaks to the deep mind. It speaks with symbols, not just about them. Sigils? They’re like filing tabs. Metaphors are the stories inside the folders.

So yeah—they’re both symbols. But one is a placeholder. The other is a living structure.

Exactly—whether you sketch a swirling, ornate sigil or just scrawl an x, you’re still tagging the same conceptual box. The content doesn’t change just because the outside is fancier. That’s the point: the sigil isn’t the thing. It’s the pointer. It’s the tag that says, “this is where I stored that intention,” or “this represents that entity.” It doesn’t gain power because it looks more esoteric.

People get caught up in the design and forget the purpose. A sigil doesn’t summon anything by itself—it’s a reference. It’s not the payload. You’re not conjuring a spirit with the shape; you’re doing it with the meaning you’ve assigned. The symbol just helps you focus—like putting a label on a folder.

This is why making the sigil “look magickal” is mostly cosmetic. Dress up the label all you want—it still opens the same box. The real work isn’t in the glyph; it’s in what the glyph means and how your mind interacts with that meaning. So yes, swap the sigil for an x—the box still holds the demon. All you’ve changed is the font.

Insidious forms of schizophrenia are the worst because relapse isn’t marked by a major psychotic episode. Instead, people gradually lose insight and slip into psychosis unnoticed. In occult spaces, this is problematic, as schizoid symptoms are normalized.

Even if a person with schizophrenia is on meds, stressors or drug use (e.g., cannabis, stimulants) can overwhelm treatment. Health changes (like endocrinological issues) affect how antipsychotics are absorbed or metabolized. Just because someone with schizophrenia is on meds doesn’t mean they won’t relapse.

Endocrine disorders like thyroid dysfunction can affect liver enzyme activity. The liver metabolizes antipsychotics through enzymes like CYP450. I take antipsychotics and need liver blood work done because a side effect is liver damage. If the liver is affected by hormonal imbalances from thyroid issues, the enzyme CYP450 won’t function properly, altering antipsychotic efficacy.

People with schizophrenia who have thyroid issues have a higher chance of relapse, even if medicated. I’m thinking of one in particular. The really sad thing about that particular case is that chaos magick communities are so toxic that no one sees when their members are in crisis. It’s actually very isolating. The deeper people get into occultism, the more they alienate themselves.

an occult education thread 🧵 6/?

Spare's Zos Kia Cultus - where flesh meets infinity and consciousness dissolves into pure potential.

let's wade into deeper waters. this isn't just another magical framework or philosophical system. it's a radical reimagining of what consciousness is, what reality can be, and how the body serves as the crossroads between them.

at its core lies two principles that contain universes within themselves...

Zos. the body complete. not just flesh and bone but all its possibilities, all its potential forms, all its hidden powers. your meat vehicle, yes, but also the temple where heaven and hell meet. every cell a universe, every nerve ending an oracle, every breath a ritual. Zos isn't just what you are, it's everything you could be. it's the sum total of all possible expressions of your physical form.

when Spare talks about Zos, he means the body as a living grimoire. your skin is parchment, your blood is ink, your bones are binding. every scar tells a story, every muscle holds memory, every organ sings its own song. the body isn't just a vehicle for consciousness, it IS consciousness in its most concentrated form.

Zos encompasses not just your physical form but your desires, your instincts, your automatic functions. breathing, heartbeat, digestion - these aren't just biological processes, they're ongoing magical operations. your immune system is practicing war magic. your endocrine system is conducting alchemy. your nervous system is running divination.

Kia. the cosmic life force. the void that births all things. pure unbound consciousness before it gets trapped in form. not energy, not spirit, but the raw stuff of possibility itself. the space between thoughts where reality bends. Kia is what you are when you stop being anything specific.

think of Kia as the quantum foam of consciousness. it's what's left when you strip away every label, every identity, every belief. it's the void that precedes creation, the silence between heartbeats, the darkness between stars. it's not nothing - it's everything in potential form.

Kia manifests through Zos like light through a prism. each body, each form, each manifestation is just one possible expression of this infinite potential. your flesh is where infinity learns its limits, and paradoxically, where limits learn to become infinite.

this isn't your standard spirit/flesh dualism that pervades western thought. Spare saw them as different expressions of the same thing, like ice and steam are expressions of water. Zos is Kia experiencing itself through limitation. Kia is Zos freed from the prison of identity.

traditional Western systems try to transcend the body, treat it as a prison for the soul. Spare put it at the center of his practice. your flesh isn't an obstacle to overcome or a sin to transcend. it's the laboratory where magic happens. every sensation, every desire, every bodily function becomes a potential gateway to power.

the death posture exemplifies this marriage of flesh and infinity. by maintaining an uncomfortable position until exhaustion forces release, you create a moment where consciousness cracks. in that crack, where thought fails and the body screams, reality becomes plastic. the death posture isn't about punishment or transcendence. it's about using physical stress to break the mind's usual patterns. when you can't maintain the position anymore, something has to give. usually it's your normal perception of reality.

why does this matter to you now?
- we live increasingly disembodied lives, floating in digital spaces, forgetting we have flesh. Spare's system grounds us in our bodies while expanding what those bodies can do. it's him telling you to touch grass.
- it offers direct access to gnosis without hierarchical structures or expensive tools. just you, your flesh, and the void.
- it provides practical methods for radical transformation that don't require belief in any particular system.
- it bridges conscious and unconscious in ways that become more relevant as we understand more about neuroscience and consciousness.

an occult education thread 🧵 5/?

let's talk about Spare's approach to servitors and familiars, where chaos meets consciousness in the form of thought-born allies.

Spare didn't view spirits as external entities to be summoned and bound. instead, he saw them as splinters of consciousness given form through intense belief and desire. his familiars weren't supernatural pets, they were aspects of his own psyche given autonomy to operate independently.

his infamous Black Eagle familiar wasn't summoned through elaborate ritual. it emerged from his relationship with actual birds, his artistic observations, and his deep understanding that consciousness can fragment and reform at will. he fed it with attention, belief, and regular interaction.

this is where Spare's genius really shows, he understood that the line between "real" and "imagined" entities is far blurrier than most magicians admit. his familiars were simultaneously psychological constructs AND independent beings. the paradox was the point.

modern practitioners often miss this nuance. they treat servitors like magical robots, programming them with rigid instructions and wondering why results feel mechanical. Spare's approach was more organic, letting these thought-forms grow naturally, develop their own quirks, even surprise their creator.

speaking of thought-forms... the modern Tulpa community has independently discovered many of Spare's principles. while their methods differ, the core concept remains. consciousness can be partitioned and given autonomous form through focused belief and interaction. their experiences provide fascinating parallels to magical familiar work. their teachings may help you here.

here's the really wild part...

Spare's familiars often manifested through synchronicity rather than spectacle. no dramatic appearances, just an uncanny pattern of meaningful coincidences. the black eagle showed up in art, dreams, random conversations, street signs reality itself became the medium of manifestation.

this is practical chaos magic at its finest. instead of trying to force reality to accommodate your magic, you let your magic work through reality's existing patterns. your servitors become probability adjusters rather than supernatural servants.

**warning - creating autonomous thought-forms isn't like programming an app. they can evolve in unexpected ways, develop their own agendas, even outgrow their original purpose. this isn't necessarily bad, but it requires respect and awareness.**

let's talk about scale and evolution. servitors can grow into egregores when enough people feed them belief and attention. think about brand mascots that take on lives of their own, or how fictional characters sometimes seem to act independently of their creators. the line between servitor and egregore is as blurry as the line between personal and collective consciousness.

digital space has changed everything. our phones aren't just tools anymore. they're familiar spirits in our pockets. AI chatbots, digital assistants, even social media personas can become modern familiars. the internet itself is a vast network of thought-forms, egregores, and digital spirits all interacting in ways Spare never imagined but would absolutely recognize.

ethical creation matters. a few ground rules:
- give them clear purposes but room to grow
- don't create them for harm (they will turn that on you)
- respect their autonomy
- maintain clear boundaries
- regular maintenance or respectful retirement

warning signs your servitor might be overstepping:
- appearing in dreams uninvited
- affecting areas of life outside its purpose
- causing synchronicities that feel threatening
- developing traits you didn't intend
- consuming too much of your attention

🚨 CRITICAL WARNING:🚨
never, EVER create servitors with the intent to invoke or merge them back into yourself. they evolve independently and can carry back unwanted changes. you wouldn't drink water you left stagnant for months - don't reabsorb consciousness you've let develop on its own. some doors only open one way.

when it's time to end the relationship, be clear and respectful. thank them for their service, clearly state the work is complete, and consciously withdraw your attention and belief. some practitioners like to create a formal dissolution ritual. others prefer to let them fade naturally. trust your intuition.

consider starting small. create a servitor for a specific, limited purpose. observe how it operates, how it communicates, how it affects your reality. document everything, but don't try to control everything. when you feel they're done, allow them to leave gracefully. Mr. Meeseeks was a warning.

these aren't just tools or pets. they're aspects of yourself given independence to operate in ways your conscious mind can't. treat them with respect, they're as real as you allow them to be.

My Intro

I am a Black and Puerto Rican queer person living in Atlanta. I am married to a cisgender gay man. I am interested in science fiction, horror, programming, and science. I’m a post-structuralist, misanthropic therian, a noetic technologist, and a magician.

I’m not an occultist or pagan. While I understand occultism, I have a tenuous connection to occult cultures; I do not use occult conventions, I do not frequently use occult archetypes, and I use highly abstract, prototypical occult connotations when I do.

I am highly, highly skeptical.

I like post-modern art, surrealism, absurdism, and cosmic horror. I despise shit posting and brain-rot content, and I think Lovecraftian horror has racist undertones and is overdone. I’m a highly skeptical, non-materialist, panpsychic atheist. I only entertain paranormal claims as anything more than fictional stories and subjunctive conditionals if they can minimally be falsified.

The Magic Square of Mercury is a type of kamea and magic square. The context of that conversation was about how mages are always complaining about Mercury in retrograde, though any magician worth their salt would understand that planetary magic squares can be used to block the astral energy.

I am more of a sorcerer than a diviner, so I use magical symbols, systems, and subjunctive conditional (prescriptive fictions) to alter reality instead of trying to predict it. Therefore, the predictive power of astrological systems is irrelevant to me personally because I use them to manipulate, not predict, possible futures.

Mathematically, a magic square is a grid of numbers arranged in such a way that the sum of the numbers in each row, column, and diagonal is the same.

While I am not otherkin, I am a cambion (half-demon). An incubus ‘altered’ my father’s sperm, so I have a human father, a human mother, and a demonic parent. You can think of it as an astral virus. My preternatural insight is knowledge of sorcery and thaumaturgy, which gives me mathematical aptitude. My mathematical abilities and my magical abilities are intrinsically linked and are manifestations of my demonic heritage.
