"The theory, which emerged late last year, claimed that gravity was going to stop working for several seconds on August 12, 2026. Over that time, people would essentially fall upward until gravity kicked back on, at which point they’d plummet back to the ground." -
“Nigel Farage denies link to crypto conspiracist John Mappin”
by Sian Morrison, Tom Ball and George Greenwoid in OpenDemocracy.net
A ‘personal friend’ and former business partner of Nigel Farage was an influential figure in a conspiracy-based cryptocurrency group that was accused of scamming investors out of thousands of pounds.
John Mappin, a Scientologist and proponent of the QAnon hoax, promoted Awoke Coin multiple times on his social media channels, encouraging his followers to invest in the ‘anti-woke’ digital currency”

"[I]ncidents documented in #London between July 16 and July 23 were essentially repackaged versions of the #antisemitic “#ZOG” #conspiracytheory — “#Zionist Occupied Government.” The theory claims that Western governments have been secretly infiltrated by “#Zionists,” a term that report authors say is used as a disguised substitute for the word “#Jews.”
The Campaign Against #Antisemitism noted that the term ZOG was coined in the 1970s by #American neo-#Nazi #activist #EricThompson, a fact that, according to the report’s authors, underscores that the rhetoric derives directly from #whitesupremacist ideology, even when it appears today in other political contexts.
“Antisemitic #conspiracytheories of this sort are nothing new, of course. But their now open popularity among #farleft #activists points to a troubling ideological convergence that should concern all who are committed to combating hatred, regardless of where it surfaces across the political spectrum..."

The Justice Department is using federal conspiracy charges to sweep up ICE protesters. Some legal experts worry the agency is casting too wide a net to prosecute political activists who oppose the Trump administration's deportation agenda.

"The “#Zionist Occupied Government” (#ZOG) #conspiracytheory increased more than threefold during the 2026 #Iran war, Fighting Online #Antisemitism (#FOA) has revealed.
The “ZOG” #conspiracy theory falsely claims a secret #Jewish/ #Israeli #cabal controls global institutions and sovereign governments, especially that of the #US.
FOA looked at two 38-day periods in 2026 for its study: the baseline period (January 21 – February 27, 2026) and the war period (February 28 – April 6, 2026).
It found that the increased volume of hate content was accompanied by a focus explicitly around the term “ZOG” – which increased from 49% prevalence in the baseline period to 63% during the wartime dataset.
Public engagement with the rhetoric also intensified dramatically during the Iran conflict – conspiracy theory content, including ZOG references, received double the amount of likes and a 10-times increase in shares compared to pre-war levels."

"#Egypt had enough to argue about without inventing a #conspiracy.
Its #WorldCup run ended in a 3-2 loss to #Argentina after Egypt had led 2-0. A goal by #MostafaZiko was ruled out after a video assistant referee (#VAR) review, and Egypt complained about the officiating. Fans argued about the referee, the late collapse, and whether #FIFA’s system had failed.
That is #soccer.
Then the explanation moved somewhere else.
In parts of #Arabic-language media and online discourse, Egypt had not simply lost to Argentina. It had lost to FIFA, #Zionism, #Israel, the referee, #LionelMessi, #Argentinian President #JavierMilei, Prime Minister #BenjaminNetanyahu, and a hidden system built to keep Egypt out.
One #Egyptian commentator made the claim openly: Egypt had lost to “Zionism, the referee, FIFA, and Argentina.”
That was not match analysis. It was the oldest #conspiracytheory in a new stadium – a new version of the mutating virus that is #antisemitism."

And that this year’s attendees included the head of MI6, the Secretary General of NATO, a President (Finland), a brace of finance ministers, the head of French intelligence, a King and Queen (the Netherlands) Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind, the chair of Goldman Sachs, the CEO of Deutsche Bank and the President of the European Investment Bank?”

@loke @simrob @samir One thing we know about the code produced by LLMs is that they do not produce something that follows human best practice, in particular they seem to produce more code than a human would for a given task.
I am unsure if that can actually be controlled by the AI companies but whether intentional or not, I am sure that they do not mind the increased spending that longer programs entails.

“Conspiracy theories also bring another reward: power.”*…
Theophilus Schweighardt, The Temple of the Rose Cross, 1618 (source)Barrett Brown interrogates our fascination with conspiracies and conspiracy theories…
Over a period of several years in the early seventeenth century, there appeared in Western Europe three manifestos laying out the history of the theretofore unheard-of Rosicrucian order, whose secret directorate was said to employ powerful magical-scientific techniques in service to sociopolitical reform. This naturally led to quite a bit of public speculation, which gradually abated in the absence of further pronouncements; within a few generations the only parties ascribing any significance to the incident tended to be dubious characters claiming to be Rosicrucians themselves, rarely with much to show for it. Thus, as a result of its gradual association with cranks, the Rosicrucian story developed a kind of inoculation against serious scrutiny.
It wasn’t until the sixties that the British historian Dame Frances A. Yates breached the actual nature and extent of the thought movement that informed both the manifestos and its audience. In her book The Rosicrucian Enlightenment, she demonstrates that the texts were written as anti-Hapsburg, proreformist propaganda drawing on doctrines associated with the sixteenth-century philosopher Francis Bacon, and that this was understood by commentators on both sides; that the surreal “alchemical wedding” described therein references the 1613 marriage of England’s Elizabeth Stuart and Frederick V of the Palatinate, widely heralded as the linchpin of a proto-Protestant alliance capable of establishing such reform by force; that the broader proposals were indeed taken seriously by scholars, not as scripture but rather as a set of visionary policy proposals dressed in metaphor, akin to Bacon’s The New Atlantis; and that enthusiasts such as Elias Ashmole would directly implement those proposals by founding the Royal Society, establishing the primacy of science. Rather than being a footnote to premodern folly, the Rosicrucian affair turns out to sit at the narrative center of the modern world.
There’s a lesson here that bears attention today, at the apparent twilight of the same modern world, when the fundamental problem we face involves the degree to which the truth must now compete with such a vast multiplicity of falsehoods that discovering truth itself becomes unviable. Consider that so much of consequence to our own heritage should have been so misunderstood for as long as the Rosicrucian manifestos; it seems that crucial facts can be effectively concealed from serious attention simply by being visibly subject to the unserious sort. Such facts are gradually imbued with a sort of de facto defense mechanism against scrutiny, whereby the mere act of taking an interest in them serves to discredit professional researchers and journalists…

Apposite: “Revisionist History — Aliens, Secrets and Conspiracies,” by Steve Blank
* “The emotional appeal of a conspiracy theory is in its simplicity. It explains away complex phenomena, accounts for chance and accidents, offers the believer the satisfying sense of having special, privileged access to the truth. For those who become the one-party state’s gatekeepers, the repetition of these conspiracy theories also brings another reward: power.” – Anne Applebaum, Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism

As we ponder perspicacity, we might we send inquisitive birthday greetings to Michel Eyquem de Montaigne; he was born on this date in 1533. Best known during his lifetime as a statesman, Montaigne is remembered for popularizing the essay as a literary form. His massive volume Essais (translated literally as “Attempts” or “Trials”)– contain what are, to this day, some of the most widely-influential essays ever written. Montaigne had a powerful impact on writers ever after, from Descartes, Pascal, and Rousseau through Hazlitt, Emerson, and Nietzsche, to Zweig, Hoffer, and Asimov. Indeed, he’s believed to have been an influence on the later works of Shakespeare.
And while he pre-dates the “Rosicrucian” publications mentioned above, he observed (in Essais) “the truth of these days is not that which really is, but what every man persuades another man to believe.”
Lastly, a good reason to step outside and look up early this evening: “February’s ‘rare planetary alignment’ is coming — here’s what to expect from the planet parade“

BlueSky’s Solution To Moderating Is Moderating Without Moderating via Social Proximity
I have noticed a lot of people are confused about why some posts don’t show up on threads, though they are not labeled by the moderation layer. Bluesky has begun using what it calls social neighborhoods (or network proximity) as a ranking signal for replies in threads. Replies from people who are closer to you in the social graph, accounts you follow, interact with, or share mutual connections with, are prioritized and shown more prominently. Replies from accounts that are farther away in that network are down-ranked. They are pushed far down the thread or placed behind “hidden replies.”
Each person gets their own unique view of a thread based on their social graph. It creates the impression that replies from distant users simply don’t exist. This is true even though they’re still technically public and viewable if you expand the thread or adjust filters. Bluesky is explicitly using features of subgraphs to moderate without moderating. Their reasoning is that if you can’t see each other, you can’t harass each other. Ergo, there is nothing to moderate.
Bluesky mentions that here:
https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-31-2025-building-healthier-social-media-update
As a digression, I’m not going to lie: I really enjoyed working on software built on the AT protocol, but their fucking users are so goddamn weird. It’s sort of like enjoying building houses, but hating every single person who moves into them. But, you don’t have to deal with them because you’re just the contractor. That is how I feel about Bluesky. I hate the people. I really like the protocol and infrastructure.
I sort of am a sadist who does enjoy drama, so I do get schadenfreude from people with social media addictions and parasocial fixations who reply to random people on Bluesky, because they don’t realize their replies are disconnected from the author’s thread unless that person is within their network. They aren’t part of the conversation they think they are. They’re algorithmically isolated from everyone else. Their replies aren’t viewable from the author’s thread because of how Bluesky handles social neighborhoods.
Bluesky’s idea of social neighborhoods is about grouping users into overlapping clusters based on real interaction patterns rather than just the follow graph. Unlike Twitter, it does not treat the network as one big public square. Instead, it models networks of “social neighborhoods” made up of people you follow, people who follow you, people you frequently interact with, and people who are closely connected to those groups. They’re soft, probabilistic groupings rather than strict labels.
Everyone does not see the same replies. Bluesky is being a bit vague with “hidden.” Hidden means your reply is still anchored to the thread and can be expanded. There is another way Bluesky can handle this. Bluesky uses social neighborhoods to judge contextual relevance. Replies from people inside or near your social neighborhood are more likely to be shown inline with a thread, expanded by default, or served in feeds. Replies from outside your neighborhood are still public and still indexed, but they’re treated as lower-context contributions.
Basically, if you reply to a thread, you will see it anchored to the conversation, and everyone will see it in search results, as a hashtag, or from your profile, but it will not be accessible via the thread of the person you were replying to. It is like shadow-banning people from threads unless they are strongly networked.
Because people have not been working with the AT Protocol like I have, they assume they are shadow-banned across the entire Bluesky app view. No—everyone is automatically shadow-banned from everyone else unless they are within the same social neighborhood. In other words, you are not part of the conversation you think you are joining because you are not part of their social group.
Your replies will appear in profiles, hashtag feeds, or search results without being visually anchored to the full thread. Discovery impressions are neighborhood-agnostic: they serve content because it matches a query, tag, or activity stream. Once the reply is shown, the app then decides whether it’s worth pulling in the rest of the conversation for you. If the original author and most participants fall outside your neighborhood, Bluesky often chooses not to expand that context automatically.
Bluesky really is trying to avoid having to moderate, so this is their solution. Instead of banning or issuing takedown labels to DIDs, the system lets replies exist everywhere, but not in that particular instance of the thread.
I find this ironic because a large reason why many people are staying on Bluesky and not moving to the fediverse—thank God, because I do not want them there—is discoverability, virality, and engagement.
In case anyone is asking how I know so much about how these algorithms work: I was a consultant on a lot of these types of algorithms, so I certainly hope I’d know how they work, lol. No, you get no more details about the work I’ve done. I have no hand in the algorithm Bluesky is using, but I have proposed and implemented that type of algorithm before.
I have an interest in noetics and the noosphere. A large amount of my ontological work is an extension of my attempts to model domains that have no spatial or temporal coordinates. The question is how do you generalize a metric space that has no physically, spatial properties. I went to school to try to formalize those ideas. Turns out they’re rather useful for digital social networks, too. The ontological analog to spatial distance, when you have no space, is a graph of similarities.

I don’t bother to argue and correct people about wrong occult or paranormal information because 9 times out of 10, they are not the type of people I want practicing magic. Out of boredom, I took a look at r/occult on Reddit. Not only is 99% of it wrong, but the people there are so messed up I dare not correct them. Going through their other posts and the subs they are subscribed to on Reddit is disturbing.
There was one person in particular who inspired this post. I’ve had encounters with this person in the past and know enough about them to know that they are likely schizophrenic and have an obsession with occultism and occultists. All the quotes in this post are from the same dumb Redditor. They said:
Really, the sigil generally means what the person tattoing it onto themself means it too. In this case it might just indicate their bond.
There really isn’t anything special about foreign/modern symbols. It’s prefectly fine to use english and drawings of dicks if you really want too. At thene of the day, when you practice magic, what’s important is how the symbol has meaning to you, the person who’s involved with the spell
On the subject of not being able to back it, it’s on the internet, if they stop giving a shit, they can ultimately just stop looking at the thread and forget that people here even exist.
That last part of the last quote highlights the problem with Internet cultures, however. Normalization of the lack of concern for the accuracy of information and the tacit belief that you are entitled to people because they are on the Internet (which is parasocial) is a large reason why I avoid many online communities. I actually know this person… The belief that you should not have to provide evidence for something if it is on the Internet is a horrific stance to me. For example, while typing this post, I actually made an effort to double-check everything I have said. The idea that no one gives a shit means that no one, including them, gives a shit about the truth. The tacit belief in conspiracies—secretive esoteric communities—coupled with the normalization of misinformation is what’s wrong with occult communities, especially the ones on Reddit.
Sigils are mnemonically identifiers and formal names. A seal is a name or signature. We can examine how asinine this is if we have a person with a tattoo that says William:
Person 1: “Why did you tattoo William on your arm?”
Person 2: “What do you mean? I absolutely adore Sarah, so I got Sarah tattooed on my arm.”
Person 1: “No, what is written in English is William.”Pragmatically, sigils are mnemonic; however, in formal ontology or language, they have a defined meaning where a seal is an expression of that definition.
Unlike the runes of the Elder Futhark, which are graphemes, Goetic seals are not graphemes. Goetic seals are logograms that represent entire concepts. Since they are logograms, Austin Spare’s substitution/sigilization technique is a good way to generate logograms that possess the aesthetic and symbolic qualities reminiscent of ceremonial sigils or esoteric, occultic ciphers that have the meaning you intend for them to have. Honestly, personally, I am over the ceremonial magic aesthetic, so Austin Spare’s method is not useful for me.
William is not spelled Sarah; therefore, tattooing William does not denote your bond to Sarah, nor does it imply you have a bond to Sarah. Many creepy incels go out and get women’s names and faces tattooed on their arms. It doesn’t make the bond real.
I have a personal gripe with people being super secreative with magick, on the basis I think as a society we’d learn more by working with and sharing things with eachother.
Yeah, because it goes against their interests. The question is whose society does it inform? Magic is deliberately causing something to change, so you’re tacitly creating or at least committing to the future you want. Therefore, magic is prescriptive and sufficiently normative. That means magic is predicated on interests. A way to think about it is that a magician is prescribing to reality how reality ought to behave in accordance with their will and interests. For more information on normativity, see:
Predicating magic on will makes it intrinsically something that follows interests—an agenda. Typically, you can group magicians as stoics, hedonists, or solipsists. But, there’s an underlying interest there that is implicit in the philosophy.
An organization or group is an entity. If it is not in an entity’s interest to give you. In magical paradigms, entity usually implies some discarnate intelligence. In everyday language, an entity normally refers to an established organization. Magic is predicated on interests, and if it is not in an entity’s interest to give you access, they won’t. And, since magic is tacit, you need a psychic way of transmitting it or a shared experience among a cohort. Initiations create a shared, lonely space among a cohort. They are symbolic ways of apprehending an experience where the knowledge of “how” comes from how it seems to think about that shared experience.
The type of magic I practice is completely tacit and can’t be communicated through conventional cultural frameworks like language or pedagogies. It has to be telepathically transmitted. Any psychic who tries to communicate their psychic experiences through language will tacitly understand why. The point is that it’s esoteric.
I find it funny. The Internet is intrinsically language-based down to the low-level machine language of the devices. Psychic and magical knowledge is tacit and ineffable, so access via the Internet to the semantics of magical cultures and text doesn’t grant understanding. Ironically, it just obfuscates.
They were giving incorrect information about Lilith relating to demonolatry here:
I personally see Lilith as a sort of dark motherly archetype based on my own personal work, and could be intepreted that you are essentially under her protection
Lilith is not a motherly figure. Lilith is associated with infanticide and sex without having human children, and cambions or changelings.
Actually, a few days ago, my husband and I were having a conversation about my mother and my trauma, and that started an entire conversation where I told my husband about how my mother emphasized that not all women love their children and that I should be grateful she did not drown me in the bathtub like some women did to their children. My mother was referencing Andrea Yates at the time… Yes, my mother believes not killing your children is something to be proud of.
That prompted me to look up and tell my husband the statistics of the amount of SIDS cases that were cases of infanticide where the mother murdered their child. In the 1970s, Waneta Hoyt derailed SIDS research because she was actually suffocating her children. Why do I know all of these cases offhand? Because my mother had a fascination with serial killers and mothers who murdered their children. My husband said that people like my mother who are walking around give him the creeps because she seems so nice. Yes, my parents are twisted. How do you think I came out this way? That’s the type of motherhood Lilith represents. It is just very interesting how people like this person spin up these mythologies to cope with being rejected.
This particular person is a trans woman who used to be Wiccan and is feeling drawn back to Wicca, Thelema, and also feels sympathy with Babalon, so this interpretation would make sense for them. Ironically, I think Christian influences — that I know this person hates — have caused them to overlap Lilith with qualities of Eve, too. On a more pejorative note, what’s the difference between mommy issues and daddy issues? It screams of seeking a maternal figure through parasocial relationships with fictional characters.
No, Lilith wouldn’t be the mother of Adam’s children. She would strangle them in their crib. There’s a common syncretism with Lilith and Hecate that’s popular among Neopagans. Both are associated with aspects of femininity, darkness, magic, and independence, making them complementary in certain Neopagan and eclectic spiritual practices. In fiction, Lilith is associated with vampires and cambions, which is a tacit nod to her symbolism regarding unnatural and preternatural reproduction in that vampires are sired, made, and not born. So, it is very interesting to see this peculiar version of Lilith, embodying a maternal role, when Lilith is an antipole notions of Abrhaminc notions femininity. It’s like they’re conflating the qualities of Eve with Lilith.
Lilith is associated with the Qliphoth Gamaliel. Gamaliel is often linked with the darker aspects of femininity, such as seduction, independence, and rebellion against traditional roles. Thus Lilith represents opposition to motherhood and a rejection of the conventional expectations placed on women to fulfill maternal roles and adhere to societal norms of femininity. The maternal aspects this person is attributing to Lilith are actually associated with the Sephirot Binah, exemplified by Eve. So, we can see the absurdity in this.
Am I a cambion? Yes. Am I the scion of Lilith? No. Am I a Satanist? Yes. However, considering that every person wants to be a Satanic psychopath and doesn’t want to put in the work, there is a lot of misinformation, such as this. The devil is the person whom you know, and the women in the Sunday hats in church on Sunday.
I get a weird type of pleasure seeing incompetent people chase their asses, so I don’t correct them. Giving magic to schizophrenic people is worse than giving them a gun. Don’t mistake me. It is not about moral clarity on my part. It is about power.
Is my post on Reddit? Nope, because I am a real magician. There’s nothing on Reddit but incels and the insane and drug addicts. No powerful magician would consistently post anything there.

I don’t bother to argue and correct people about wrong occult or paranormal information because 9 times out of 10, they are not the type of people I want practicing magic. Out of boredom, I took a look at r/occult on Reddit. Not only is 99% of it wrong, but the people there are so messed up I dare not correct them. Going through their other posts and the subs they are subscribed to on Reddit is disturbing.
There was one person in particular who inspired this post. I’ve had encounters with this person in the past and know enough about them to know that they are likely schizophrenic and have an obsession with occultism and occultists. All the quotes in this post are from the same dumb Redditor. They said:
Really, the sigil generally means what the person tattoing it onto themself means it too. In this case it might just indicate their bond.
There really isn’t anything special about foreign/modern symbols. It’s prefectly fine to use english and drawings of dicks if you really want too. At thene of the day, when you practice magic, what’s important is how the symbol has meaning to you, the person who’s involved with the spell
On the subject of not being able to back it, it’s on the internet, if they stop giving a shit, they can ultimately just stop looking at the thread and forget that people here even exist.
That last part of the last quote highlights the problem with Internet cultures, however. Normalization of the lack of concern for the accuracy of information and the tacit belief that you are entitled to people because they are on the Internet (which is parasocial) is a large reason why I avoid many online communities. I actually know this person… The belief that you should not have to provide evidence for something if it is on the Internet is a horrific stance to me. For example, while typing this post, I actually made an effort to double-check everything I have said. The idea that no one gives a shit means that no one, including them, gives a shit about the truth. The tacit belief in conspiracies—secretive esoteric communities—coupled with the normalization of misinformation is what’s wrong with occult communities, especially the ones on Reddit.
Sigils are mnemonically identifiers and formal names. A seal is a name or signature. We can examine how asinine this is if we have a person with a tattoo that says William:
Person 1: “Why did you tattoo William on your arm?”
Person 2: “What do you mean? I absolutely adore Sarah, so I got Sarah tattooed on my arm.”
Person 1: “No, what is written in English is William.”Pragmatically, sigils are mnemonic; however, in formal ontology or language, they have a defined meaning where a seal is an expression of that definition.
Unlike the runes of the Elder Futhark, which are graphemes, Goetic seals are not graphemes. Goetic seals are logograms that represent entire concepts. Since they are logograms, Austin Spare’s substitution/sigilization technique is a good way to generate logograms that possess the aesthetic and symbolic qualities reminiscent of ceremonial sigils or esoteric, occultic ciphers that have the meaning you intend for them to have. Honestly, personally, I am over the ceremonial magic aesthetic, so Austin Spare’s method is not useful for me.
William is not spelled Sarah; therefore, tattooing William does not denote your bond to Sarah, nor does it imply you have a bond to Sarah. Many creepy incels go out and get women’s names and faces tattooed on their arms. It doesn’t make the bond real.
I have a personal gripe with people being super secreative with magick, on the basis I think as a society we’d learn more by working with and sharing things with eachother.
Yeah, because it goes against their interests. The question is whose society does it inform? Magic is deliberately causing something to change, so you’re tacitly creating or at least committing to the future you want. Therefore, magic is prescriptive and sufficiently normative. That means magic is predicated on interests. A way to think about it is that a magician is prescribing to reality how reality ought to behave in accordance with their will and interests. For more information on normativity, see:
Predicating magic on will makes it intrinsically something that follows interests—an agenda. Typically, you can group magicians as stoics, hedonists, or solipsists. But, there’s an underlying interest there that is implicit in the philosophy.
An organization or group is an entity. If it is not in an entity’s interest to give you. In magical paradigms, entity usually implies some discarnate intelligence. In everyday language, an entity normally refers to an established organization. Magic is predicated on interests, and if it is not in an entity’s interest to give you access, they won’t. And, since magic is tacit, you need a psychic way of transmitting it or a shared experience among a cohort. Initiations create a shared, lonely space among a cohort. They are symbolic ways of apprehending an experience where the knowledge of “how” comes from how it seems to think about that shared experience.
The type of magic I practice is completely tacit and can’t be communicated through conventional cultural frameworks like language or pedagogies. It has to be telepathically transmitted. Any psychic who tries to communicate their psychic experiences through language will tacitly understand why. The point is that it’s esoteric.
I find it funny. The Internet is intrinsically language-based down to the low-level machine language of the devices. Psychic and magical knowledge is tacit and ineffable, so access via the Internet to the semantics of magical cultures and text doesn’t grant understanding. Ironically, it just obfuscates.
They were giving incorrect information about Lilith relating to demonolatry here:
I personally see Lilith as a sort of dark motherly archetype based on my own personal work, and could be intepreted that you are essentially under her protection
Lilith is not a motherly figure. Lilith is associated with infanticide and sex without having human children, and cambions or changelings.
Actually, a few days ago, my husband and I were having a conversation about my mother and my trauma, and that started an entire conversation where I told my husband about how my mother emphasized that not all women love their children and that I should be grateful she did not drown me in the bathtub like some women did to their children. My mother was referencing Andrea Yates at the time… Yes, my mother believes not killing your children is something to be proud of.
That prompted me to look up and tell my husband the statistics of the amount of SIDS cases that were cases of infanticide where the mother murdered their child. In the 1970s, Waneta Hoyt derailed SIDS research because she was actually suffocating her children. Why do I know all of these cases offhand? Because my mother had a fascination with serial killers and mothers who murdered their children. My husband said that people like my mother who are walking around give him the creeps because she seems so nice. Yes, my parents are twisted. How do you think I came out this way? That’s the type of motherhood Lilith represents. It is just very interesting how people like this person spin up these mythologies to cope with being rejected.
This particular person is a trans woman who used to be Wiccan and is feeling drawn back to Wicca, Thelema, and also feels sympathy with Babalon, so this interpretation would make sense for them. Ironically, I think Christian influences — that I know this person hates — have caused them to overlap Lilith with qualities of Eve, too. On a more pejorative note, what’s the difference between mommy issues and daddy issues? It screams of seeking a maternal figure through parasocial relationships with fictional characters.
No, Lilith wouldn’t be the mother of Adam’s children. She would strangle them in their crib. There’s a common syncretism with Lilith and Hecate that’s popular among Neopagans. Both are associated with aspects of femininity, darkness, magic, and independence, making them complementary in certain Neopagan and eclectic spiritual practices. In fiction, Lilith is associated with vampires and cambions, which is a tacit nod to her symbolism regarding unnatural and preternatural reproduction in that vampires are sired, made, and not born. So, it is very interesting to see this peculiar version of Lilith, embodying a maternal role, when Lilith is an antipole notions of Abrhaminc notions femininity. It’s like they’re conflating the qualities of Eve with Lilith.
Lilith is associated with the Qliphoth Gamaliel. Gamaliel is often linked with the darker aspects of femininity, such as seduction, independence, and rebellion against traditional roles. Thus Lilith represents opposition to motherhood and a rejection of the conventional expectations placed on women to fulfill maternal roles and adhere to societal norms of femininity. The maternal aspects this person is attributing to Lilith are actually associated with the Sephirot Binah, exemplified by Eve. So, we can see the absurdity in this.
Am I a cambion? Yes. Am I the scion of Lilith? No. Am I a Satanist? Yes.

We really need to stop calling obvious schizophrenia, manic delusions, and psychosis ‘unverified personal gnosis.’ A person whom I knew 15 years ago has persistent beliefs, regardless of facts, that they knew me in a past life and we made some pact to alter the future to save the world from Nazis. It’s insane, but everyone in the occult Discord is nodding their heads and validating it.
A delusion is a persistent belief regardless of facts. This person has dreams and hallucinations that they believe are gods, spirits, and telepathy. In these hallucinations and delusions, the spirits tell them who random strangers were in a past life. A lot of these delusions are obviously paranoid and inevitably roll into a conspiracy theory about Nazis. This is very terrifying. This means, based on a random occurrence with a person, they will create a parasocial narrative that manifests as them knowing this person.
Most schizophrenia delusions emerge from noise and thus have no actual information. You can uncover that it is a delusion by asking the person for details. For example, if they make a claim about remembering a past life in Egypt, you can do the equivalent of asking them who the President of the United States is now. I did that with this person. They were claiming to have known me and other people in a past life in Egypt 3000 years ago, so I looked up what was going on around that time. I asked them who the high priest was, who the pharaoh was, and what they remember happening around that time. All of it was wrong.
That caused most of that Discord to jump all over me and imply that it was fine because it was their personal gnosis. To be clear, this person is creating parasocial relationships and narratives based on delusional narratives that they are applying to random people they meet.
Phrasing things as they happened in a different reality or a past life is a way to avoid the falsification of and is a way to rationalize the delusion. Claiming that you knew a person in a past life is a way to justify the parasocial relationship. It is not unverified personal gnosis. It’s mental illness. There is nothing magical about mental illness. If I had a nickel for every time a schizophrenic occultist spun up a delusional narrative to justify an adversarial parasocial relationship with me, I’d be rich. This is a major problem.

It may be a matter of shades of gray, but I sort of viewed the subtle difference being:Crackpots are more about the grand theory and proving something that is wrong. Their persecution complex comes from no one believing them :
