  4. france24.com/en/middle-east/20. The #Houthis are hardly "rebels" any more, are they, @france24? When your #rebellion has proved successful - by & large - you're no longer a #rebel, & certainly not because the tyrannical rulers of a neighbouring country, #SaudiArabia, don't like you.

    Libraries hold a special place in my heart, for reasons both intellectual and sentimental.

    Librarians are guardians of knowledge, champions of freedom, and friends of the people. They are community members, dedicated to helping connect poor people with relevant information, so they can improve their minds, educate themselves, and access job resources.

    After I became a #whistleblower in 2023, and was made #homeless , this notion was challenged.

    Librarians would block my access, call the police, and have me arrested. If you find this hard to believe, please see my whistleblower website. The PDF linked, has an appendix giving the “receipts” ( documents to corroborate my account ).

    I had applied to be a board member of the libraries in Hawai’i after attending their meetings, and saw some corruption there.

    Scroll to the bottom of this page, and see the photo of the board members. How many native Hawai’ian faces do you see? Any Japanese or brown folks?

    folkhawaii.com/about-us/

    Their former Director of Membership, Bobby Gebbia, lied in court, before the judge and cameras, saying I was a board member, though I was not granted a membership.

    In Hawai’i, librarians appear to be part of the occupying forces, whitewashing colonialism, insidiously taking over and erasing the true history of Hawai’i, which I heard from talking to local old timers.

    250 years ago, Hawai’i had not heard of Jesus, and had its own deities, ( Goddess Pele, the creator, Kaneloa, etc. )
    Then Captain James Cook invaded, and 90% of the natives were wiped out.

    Then Samson Dole attacked with soldiers, threw out the natives, turned their land into plantations, and turned the natives into day laborers on the plantation, on their own land.

    Contrary to popular belief, Hawai’i is not a part of the USA, but a belligerently occupied territory,

    1887-1897: Hawaiʻi Rebelled against the USA.

    Hawaiʻian people did not choose to be part of the USA.
    King David Kalākaua was forced to sign what is called the "Bayonet Constitution". Queen Liliuokalani asserted that Kalākaua's life was threatened: "He signed that constitution under absolute compulsion."

    Now Hawai’i is full of churches, their own gods are vanishing from memory, thanks to the “librarians”. There’s poverty, a drug epidemic, and seething discontent on the streets. Hawai’ian people are heavily overpoliced, thrown into jail without cause, and denied #justice in the #courts of the occupiers ( #USA ).

    All this is hidden from the casual tourist, content to visit a golf course on the sacred land, that has been bulldozed, and be served drinks by little brown people ( usually from the Marshall Islands, Hawai’i locals have mostly left for minimum wage jobs in mainland America ).

    Billionaires, like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos, and Oprah Winfrey, “own” huge chunks of the land.

    Chinese billionaire, Eva Liu, has controlled the Punalu’u Black Sand beach, with a sweetheart deal ( $1 ), and is proposing erasing this natural landmark, spawning site of the endangered Saddleback Turtles, and building resorts there, in the name of “development”.

    In 2022, the Hawai’ian people had a setback in court.
    ( Hawaiian Kingdom v. #Biden ; December 14, 2022 )

    Librarians have been instrumental, in manipulating minds, and pushing through these insidious #imperialist agendas, and disenfranchising and displacing the local people.

    “We are living in an age of climate collapse, which will most likely result in mass displacement and death, warns Roger Hallam, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion in the United Kingdom on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report.

    [..]

    In his new book, ‘Suicide: The Political and Legal Implications of Creating Endless Mass Death,’ written while he was in prison for climate action, Hallam shares his background in academic sociology and organizing for social change to provide tools for resisting under the current repressive legal and political systems”

    Creep

    6–9 minutes

    Picture a sticky dancefloor in a dim, indie club in Scotland, circa 1993…

    The air smells of cheap cider and smoke mixed with a dry ice machine that hasn’t been cleaned since 1982… and just the slightest hint of vomit and pee…

    Suddenly… those two explosive, distorted guitar crunches hit the speakers. The entire room (a sea of oversized cardigans and scuffed Doc Martens) surges forward. We are all screaming at the top of our lungs: “I wish I was special… but I’m a creep. I’m a weirdo”. 🎶

    Here is the beautiful paradox of that memory: we were shouting about not belonging but, we were doing it together. It was a glorious, sweaty collective of self-proclaimed misfits finding absolute community in our imperfections. If you felt like you didn’t quite fit into the world, you belonged there. Packed shoulder-to-shoulder with dozens of other people who felt the same way…

    Fast forward to Sunday, May 17, 2026. Today is the final day of Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK and we are right in the thick of Mental Health Awareness Month across the pond.

    But, let’s look at the reality behind the pastel-coloured awareness slogans.

    The Syndicate has taken our raw, human vulnerability (the genuine, heart-pounding reality of social anxiety) and turned it into a multi-billion-pound tech commodity. They have isolated the misfits and made us fearful to leave our homes and interact with each other. And I bet it won’t be long till they’re charging us a monthly subscription fee just to look out the window!

    I wasn’t the quiet kid hiding in the shadows at parties; I’ve always been a confident extrovert. But, you don’t need to be diagnosed with clinical social anxiety to understand the massive psychological manipulation happening around us. The system is actively engineering a world that makes the real one feel too overwhelming to step into…

    I. The Atrophy of the Social Muscle 🚫👋

    Social anxiety isn’t just “feeling a bit shy”. According to the Mind Mental Health Charity, it is a deeply distressing experience that can cause intense physical symptoms, from a racing pulse to cognitive overload. It is a heavy, exhausting burden.

    And yet, the Syndicate’s grandest business strategy of the 2020’s has been the weaponisation of this fear, through a concept they call “Frictionless Living“. A modern lifestyle engineered around maximum convenience, where algorithms, apps and automation eliminate everyday “hassles” and manual labour.

    While it promises to make our lives easier, a completely frictionless existence can actually lead to feelings of listlessness and disconnection.

    They have systematically stripped away the small, low-stakes “social training grounds” of human society. Think about it: whether you are 22 or 92, you are now forced to interact with Chatbot “assistants”, fast-food touchscreens and barcode scanners… instead of actual humans.

    They tell us they are saving us time. What they are actually doing is eliminating the clumsy, necessary practice of casual human exposure.

    By removing the tiny, everyday “awkwardness” of talking to a stranger, our collective social muscles have atrophied. We are out of practice. The real world now feels terrifyingly unpredictable… because we’ve been conditioned to live in a sterile, predictable, digital simulation (where nobody ever accidentally mispronounces “croissant” at a bakery counter!).

    II. Muted and Alone: The Lucrative Business of Social Anxiety 🔇💰

    Thom Yorke sang about the crushing weight of looking at an impossible standard – someone who “floats like a feather in a beautiful world”. In 2026, the Syndicate packages that impossible grace on a loop, serving up a corporate simulation of peace you can buy by the month…

    They have brilliantly commodified the isolation that so many of us feel. When social anxiety leaves you feeling completely overwhelmed and unable to face a local community group, the Syndicate steps in – not to offer genuine, human healing of course, but to sell you a corporate placeholder instead. They want you to invest in their artificial safety nets:

    • The AI Companion App: Premium subscriptions to digital coaches that allow you to “practice” social skills with a computer chip (because nothing says “healing your social anxiety” quite like having a heartfelt conversation with a motherboard that requires a firmware update!).
    • The Wearable Shield: Active noise-cancelling headphones that automatically drown out the ambient chatter of the public street, wrapping you in an algorithmic bubble so you never have to accidentally hear a neighbour’s friendly chatter.

    An anxious, isolated population is the ultimate goldmine. When we are conditioned to feel entirely disconnected, inadequate, or just plain out of practice, we constantly spend money. We’re trying to purchase peace of mind instead of finding genuine human connection.

    III. The Outcast Manifesto: Just Do It! 🔗👥

    The Syndicate is terrified of people who are entirely comfortable with their own rough edges. They want us predictable, vacuum-sealed and uniform.

    True confidence isn’t the absence of anxiety; it’s the willingness to let your hands shake a little and stand in the room anyway. Your quirks, your stumbles, your beautifully un-scripted human reactions… that is not a bug in your programming. That is your humanity… fighting its way out of the matrix.

    The Mental Health Foundation emphasises that real peer support and community connection are the truest pillars of long-term well-being. We don’t need to be “special” or polished by the corporate definition. We just need to show up, exactly as we are (even if we are standing in the corner chewing on a fingernail!).

    The Citizen Jane Field Guide™️ (The “I Belong Here” Rebellion) ✊🔥

    1. The Analogue Noticeboard Hunt: Find a local, physical noticeboard – the kind made of actual cork in a community library, a scruffy independent cafe, or a post office. (Don’t search for local groups on an app!) Pick one real-world group, talk, or workshop listed on that board and write the details down on a scrap of paper (bonus points if the poster has those little tear-off phone number strips. Double bonus points if you actually attend!). 📌📋
    2. The “Lofi” Acoustic Stroll: The next time you walk to the local shops, leave your headphones at home. Force your brain to digest the ambient, chaotic soundtrack of your neighbourhood – the passing traffic, a snippet of a stranger’s conversation about their cat, the wind through the trees. Step out of the corporate “audio bubble”. 🎧❌
    3. The “Come As You Are” Protocol: Organise a get-together with a friend or family member where the explicit rule is Zero Presentation. No tidying the house, no dressing up, no fancy biscuits. Meet in your worst loungewear and don’t worry about any unwashed dishes. If your house looks like a small explosion happened in a laundry basket, leave it. Eliminate the aesthetic pressure entirely. ☕😎
    4. The Intergenerational Handshake: The Syndicate wants the younger generation locked away, too terrified to speak to a stranger. But, the older generations grew up in a world where you had to talk to people just to find out what time the bus arrived! Older rebels: we don’t suffer from this tech-induced social awkwardness, so use your superpower. Break the simulation for a younger person by starting a completely spontaneous, low-stakes chat. Younger rebels: drop the phone and ask an elder a practical question (like how on earth to bleed a radiator or make a proper gravy from scratch!). Let’s trade algorithmic data for actual human wisdom. 🚫📱

    Join the Rebellion: Take Up Space 🎸💪

    The machine wants us quiet, scrolling and convinced that we aren’t quite polished enough to step out into the light. But, it will never be able to replace the electricity of a room full of people sharing a genuine, human experience.

    On this final day of Mental Health Awareness Week, let’s refuse to hide in the shadows for a second longer. Step forward, dig out your Doc Marten’s and take up space. You do belong here!

    Your Mission: In the comments below, tell me about a time you completely messed up a social cue, tripped over your words, or had a beautifully awkward real-world interaction – and survived it. Let’s celebrate our collective “glitches” and show the Syndicate that together, we are reaching full un-optimisability! 👇

  16. Olymp – Rising Review By Steel Druhm

    You’ve heard me rant about the horrors that lurk in the promo sump come December, and how it’s mostly sub-basement black metal made by those who live on gas station pizza rolls. That kind of low-target high-risk environment is why I noticed the offering from German trve metal act Olymp and took action upon it rashly. Before we go any further, I need to point out that Olymp (I assume short of Olympus) is a truly godawful name. It also sounds like an erectile dysfunction medication. The fact that their sophomore album is titled Rising makes the comparison all the more… turgid, while also suggesting an entire marketing campaign for gas station dick pills. Also, that album art is next-level BAD. On the plus side, it’s probably not AI-generated. Poor moniker and dubious art choices aside, Olymp play a burly, beefy, 80s-centric variant of trve heavy metal with elements of Cirith Ungol and Manilla Road in the DNA. They also hit the same ground as their fellow countrymen, the long-running cheeseball power warriors, Wizard. That means Olymp teeter on that razor edge between serious and trve and over-the-top, cheddar-infected cornballery, which is a tough place to make a glorious last stand. But all hope is not lost, Olympi-Won!

    After a table-setting instrumental, the Olymp ethos is unveiled on “Olive Wreath.” It involves hammering you relentlessly with beefy riffage as Sebastian Tölle delivers a rough, raw bellow that’s more shout than sing. He sits somewhere between the legendary Tim Baker of Cirith Ungol and Matias Nastolin of Desolate Realm, and his gruff style generally fits the sound and adds an extra layer of toughness. At times, “Olive Wreath” reminds me of long-forgotten German speed metal fiends Iron Angel and Deathrow, and the guitar phrasing often veers heavily into Cirith Ungol territory. These are all big pluses in my book, and if they gave me a whole album of this meaty broth, I’d happily overlook the issues discussed in the intro. “Thread of Life” is another iron fist to the cranium with burly, simplistic riffs pounding your brain nonstop, and it’s not far removed from what classic Gravedigger did/still do.

    Olymp’s style is exceptionally simple, direct, and old school, and when it works, you get cuts like the slam-banging “Orpheus,” which riffs hard enough to shake teeth loose and addle your brain gelatin. The same goes for album closer “White Rose” which is laden with harmonies and flourishes that strongly recall Cirith Ungol. It’s an effective metal chestnut with a nice touch of melancholy. Not every cut pulls off the ancient alchemy, though. “Fire and Brimstone” comes off as really old Saxon and off-brand Manowar sutured together badly, and it’s dumb as hell. “Titan War” is aggressive and punchy, with Tölle sounding more like Tim Baker than usual, but things run too long, and the last few minutes feel tedious. “Olymp” also suffers from a late-song lag. While several songs extend too far considering the number of ideas presented, most tracks manage to avoid the bloat contagion. At 40 minutes, Rising feels like a quick enough spin, and the aggression levels keep it humming.

    The biggest snag for Olymp is Sebastian Tölle’s vocals, which are too limited and one-note. As a poor man’s Tim Baker, his raw, ragged shouting works best on the most aggressive numbers, but as the album drags on, his delivery becomes more and more irritating. He isn’t able to elevate the material consistently, and you find yourself wishing he had another gear. The guitar work by Tölle and Armin Amboss reeks of the 80s trve metal era, and they do borrow a lot from Cirith Ungol and Manilla Road while beefing up the tones for maximum impact. Their playing is a highlight and routinely drops nostalgia glitter on those who grew up in the 80s.

    Olymp play a style I’m predisposed to enjoy, and I do appreciate most of what they offer on Rising. If they could smooth out some of the rough spots in their songsmithing and improve the vocals, Olymp could become a worthy opponent for the likes of Eternal Champion and Dragon Skull. As things stand, they’re more a rowdy street thug than a noble barbarian. Here’s to rising on command!

  17. 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.

    common pitfalls

    let's wade into darker waters, the places where Spare's students often drown in their own reflection. these aren't just mistakes; they're seductive dead ends that feel like progress.

    intellectualization is a comfortable poison. it's easy to dissect Spare's theories until they're just dead things on a table. you can understand the mathematics of sigils perfectly, quote his books verbatim, and still be as magically potent as a brick. why? because magic lives in the spaces between thoughts, in the void where intellect fears to tread. Spare didn't think his way to power, he bled for it.

    the most common failure? not actually forgetting the sigil. you craft it perfectly, activate it beautifully, then spend weeks checking for results, wondering if it worked, thinking about what you could have done better. congratulations, you've just strangled your own magic in its crib. the conscious mind is a jealous god; it kills what it watches too closely.

    then there's the aesthetic trap, the instagram grimoire syndrome. your sigils are works of art, your altar looks museum worthy, your magical journal could be published. but magic isn't about looking the part, it's about breaking reality. Spare's art was technically brilliant because he was an artist, not because art makes better magic. your perfectly crafted sigils might actually be too precious to forget.

    the collector's curse is particularly venomous. gathering techniques like trading cards, never sitting with any long enough to draw blood. Spare worked one system until it became his bones, his breath, his being. he didn't need a library of methods because he understood the one thing that mattered: how to slip past the bouncer of consciousness and dance with the void.

    but the deadliest trap? mistaking the map for the territory. Spare's methods aren't THE way, they're HIS way. they're footprints showing where he danced with chaos, not a dance instruction manual. your magic needs to taste like your blood, not his.

    think Optimus Prime would be the perfect mythic hero for what you want to do? **use him**

    think your coffee grounds are better than tea leaves? **divine them**

    think the Mesopotamian goddess Tiamat resonates with your chaos? **work with her** (but remember, nothing worse than pissing off a primordial chaos dragon. learn as much as you can about her)

    feel Thor's hammer would make a better magical tool than a wand? **swing it** (but maybe learn the actual lore first)

    **quick note: when working with cultural elements, especially from living traditions or closed practices, respect matters. there's a difference between appreciation and appropriation. do your research, understand the context, and when in doubt, ask practitioners. many would love to teach you about their practices if your sincere**

    the path isn't about avoiding these traps, it's about falling into them until you learn to recognize the taste of false progress. sometimes you need to drown in theory before you learn to swim in chaos.

    Spare developed his system by failing his way forward, not by following someone else's successes. your magic needs to be yours, even if that means breaking everything you think you know about how it should work.

    Spare's influence on modern occultism, or how a broke artist with cats changed magical practice forever

    remember how punk changed music by showing anyone could do it? same with photoshop and smart phones?

    Spare did that to magic. his "fuck your golden dawn cosplay" approach spawned chaos magic and fundamentally altered how we approach practice. he showed us magic isn't about who has the fanciest robes or most expensive tools.

    the real revolution came in the 1970s when Peter Carroll and Ray Sherwin discovered Spare's work moldering in obscure bookshops and realized its explosive potential. chaos magic was born in squats and punk venues, deliberately weird and ruthlessly practical.

    Carroll took Spare's ideas about belief as a tool and developed them into a complete system. "nothing is true, everything is permitted" became more than a cool quote. it became a practical framework for reality hacking. belief became something to use rather than hold.

    then the internet happened. suddenly sigils were everywhere, hidden in plain sight. corporate logos, viral marketing campaigns, social movements.

    modern chaos magicians realized something profound: if magic is about manipulating symbols and consciousness, what better medium than the internet? your social media feed is just a technologically enhanced sigil stream, bombarding you with symbols and programming your reality.

    Spare would probably laugh at how his ideas evolved. tumblr witches crafting digital sigils, discord servers replacing magical lodges, viral posts becoming mass workings. but he'd recognize the core truth: magic belongs to everyone, works better without pretense, and thrives in the spaces between established power.

    as reality becomes increasingly virtual, the line between magic and technology grows ever thinner. Spare's ideas about consciousness and symbols become more relevant, not less. we're all participating in mass consciousness manipulation whether we realize it or not.

    we're all chaos magicians now. some of us just know it.

    remember: every time you share content that shifts consciousness, you're doing magic. the question is: are you doing it intentionally?

    sigil crafting & activation - a practical guide

    let's get our hands dirty with sigil magic. this isn't about drawing pretty symbols - it's about hacking your consciousness to reshape reality.

    your statement of intent matters. write it in present tense, be specific but not restrictive, focus on what you want rather than what you don't. avoid negatives and keep it within the realm of possibility - magic bends reality, it doesn't break it.

    the basic craft: strip your statement down to consonants, remove repeats, and what remains becomes your raw material. arrange these letters into a symbol, then abstract it until the original letters disappear into pure form. keep refining until it feels right in your gut.

    some forms your sigil might take:
    - abstract glyphs
    - geometric patterns
    - flowing organic shapes
    - angular runes
    - circular seals
    - asymmetric scrawls

    activation is where things get interesting. Spare's favorite was the death posture - pushing your body to exhaustion while holding an uncomfortable position until consciousness cracks. when you can't maintain it anymore, release with the sigil in mind.

    but that's just one way in. sexual exhaustion, void meditation, pain, sensory overload - they're all roads to the same destination: that moment when conscious control shatters and your deeper mind opens up. the method doesn't matter, the intensity does.

    here's the crucial part: once activated, forget. actively. completely. results appear as coincidence, and lusting after them kills the magic. document nothing. let it work in the shadows of your mind.

    start small. respect consent - don't sigilize for others without permission. avoid death/love/money until you know what you're doing. this is consciousness tech, treat it with appropriate caution.

    this is just a starting point. experiment. find what works for you. the only real rule is: does it work?

    let's discuss Austin Osman Spare - one of my favorite occult thinkers, despite (or perhaps because of) his complexity. he's the occultist who told the entire magical establishment to go fuck itself, then created one of the most influential magical systems while living in poverty with his cats.

    first, let's acknowledge the problems: Spare had some deeply problematic views about race and sexuality that were unfortunately common in his time. we can learn from his magical philosophy while rejecting these aspects. no need to sanitize history - let's learn from both his insights and his failures.

    context: London, early 1900s. occultism was dominated by wealthy ceremonial magicians in their golden temples and secret societies. enter Spare: a working-class artist who recognized this as theater masquerading as spirituality.

    his core insight was revolutionary: consciousness itself is the barrier to magical practice. those elaborate rituals? merely technologies to bypass the conscious mind so the real work can happen in deeper waters. Spare stripped away the pageantry and went straight for the subconscious.

    sigil magic was his crowbar to break reality:
    1. write your desire
    2. remove repeated letters
    3. create a symbol from what remains
    4. forget its meaning
    5. charge it (through exhaustion, sex, pain, or trance)
    6. release through forgetting

    why is this effective? your conscious mind acts as reality's bouncer, aggressively filtering desires and possibilities. slip past it, and change becomes possible.

    his "alphabet of desire" wasn't merely about manifestation - it was a complete theory of consciousness and will. desire isn't just what you want; it's the raw material of being itself. you are what you want, and what you want shapes what you become.

    crucially, Spare rejected ALL hierarchical systems of magic. no grades, no initiations, no "secret chiefs." he understood that gnosis is inherently democratic - available to anyone willing to do the work and face themselves.

    this wasn't just philosophical - it was deeply political. by rejecting the need for teachers, temples, and hierarchies, he was rejecting the entire power structure of western occultism. every person their own god, every mind its own temple.

    why does this matter now?
    - power structures still gatekeep spiritual knowledge
    - consciousness remains our primary tool for change
    - magic is still about altering reality through will
    - hierarchies still need to be questioned and challenged

    Spare showed us that magic isn't in the tools or ceremonies. it's in the space between thought and desire, in the moment when consciousness blinks and reality shifts.

    remember:
    - desire is the engine of transformation
    - consciousness is both tool and obstacle
    - hierarchies are optional
    - forgetting is as powerful as remembering
    - poverty doesn't negate power
    - the best magic looks like coincidence

    tl;dr - Spare was early 20th century occultism's punk prophet, and his ideas about consciousness, desire, and power remain revolutionary.

    p.s. - yes, this is oversimplified. no, you don't need to know more to start. begin where you are. there will be more forthcoming

  22. @ZhiZhu What Confedered senator Tom Davis apparently meant to say:
    “At some point in time, the right of the white state to see the unborn white child born does take precedent over the white woman’s right to her body.”

    Now, as we all may know the former slaveholder states always had their militant issues with the Reconstruction Amendments to the United States Constitution.

    Nonetheless, quite some time ago the then not FedSocuted Supreme Court of the United States held in its 7-2 ruling, that
    "State criminal abortion laws... violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which protects against state action the right to privacy, including a woman's qualified right to terminate her pregnancy."
    And neither SCOTUS nor single (or conspiring, insurrectionary) states can invalidate the Due Process Clause, the Fourteenth Amendment or the human right of women to bodily self-determination, for the racist sake of white "Volksgemeinschaft".

  26. @LilHulkQ "GOP lawmakers'" (/obstructors') interference with Fani Willis's work would equate to an inadmissible attack on the Separation of Powers (Legislative vs Judicial branch).

    "Powers of review and oversight of attorneys for allegations of misconduct is, in Georgia, like throughout the country, exclusively reserved for judges. This separation of powers works the same way in many other state constitutional frameworks."
