Liber 909 Lore Bible
Before this tome the silence is deafening,
none discern what echoes roar,
but we can hear its endless screaming
from behind the locked door.
There is no difference between what a book talks about and how it is made. Therefore, a book also has no object. As an assemblage, a book has only itself, in connection with other assemblages and in relation to other bodies without organs. We will never ask what a book means, we will ask what it functions with.
- Rhizone, A Thousand Plateaus
None of us ever had the same concept of a beginning. A beginning is already a multiplicity. I was reading Deleuze and Guattari's What is Philosophy? again, in the French original the term used for conceptual personae
is personnages conceptuels.
Personnage can just as easily be translated as character,
thus philosophy itself is already a kind of fiction, with conceptual rather than dramatic characters.
They mention that Kierkegaard went through great lengths to extract his conceptual characters from the Old Testament. I'm going to great lengths to extract my own from the most dastardly sources: Liber 333, the Order of Nine Angles corpus, the Lesser Key of Solomon. Is that what makes me an occultist rather than a philosopher?
It's rather moronic and somewhat juvenile, but I have 3 books that I'd like to offer the world, along with a plethora more that'll never be written, merely relegated to the bibliographies of mad researchers like Dr. Barker or Dr. Parsani:
Liber 909, Temple of the Red Lodge
Conspiratorial Diabolism, Satanic Front
Struggle Sessions: Selected Essays, Erik Vildsvin
As of now, these are the only ones I intend to work on until some other idea sprouts in my head, after reading bizarre books I can't predict. I could spend all day thinking about sources of inspiration, but it's likely more practical to talk about what they are. First, works of horror, a kind of philosophical creepypasta; next, a post-apocalyptic novel; third, a kind of science fiction in the vein of Philip K. Dick; fourth, hopefully, a social phenomenon similar to a good creepypasta or piece of visual art; and only in the last instance philosophy in the 'new style' created by Deleuze and Guattari.
I'm writing this book (or all of them at once) through clouds of narcolepsy, with nails trying to break out of my skull. I wonder if I'm dying.
So, don't forget, my most important characters:
Dr. Jonathan Hubbur
Dr. Nicholas Bodin
Commissar Murnau
It's through their eyes that I see the events and encounters contained within all of my stories. Bored intellectuals in the future will either call my work complete shit or a shifting and sustained engagement with the works of Gilles Deleuze.
The former Satanic Front attempted to extract conceptural personae from Joris-Karl Huysman's novel Là-bas, and a shitty translation of a sorcerous manuscript called the Goetia Daemonium. It was a failed experiment, but is this to say that nothing can be extracted from either of these two sources? I doubt I can get anything useful from the Goetia that I haven't already extracted myself through gematria and digital reduction.
I tried to tell Satanae Manibus that the Satanic Front felt like nothing more than a fictional micronation, no more threatening to the current world order than Molossia or Sealand. Even if it's just the hypothetical army of a fictional country, that doesn't mean that it couldn't be interesting if they really put in the effort. That's where I come in, under the mask of Commissar Murnau.
The Satanic Front uniforms should be modelled after those of the military uniforms of East Germany with occult and Satanic flare.
There's nothing I find egregiously wrong with this as a start, I just think it's somewhat silly for the Satanic Front to use a very distinctly German look for their uniforms if their geographic origin is the Southern United States.
Another problem with the Satanic Front that I don't think I ever got to discuss with them: there's no good Satanic theology and there is no Satanic mythology. They must be invented, thus the fantasy and horror elements. Diablo 2 does a better job of a demonic mythology than they ever did.
I'm imagining a scene like in Legend of the Galactic Heroes where there's a meeting between the admirals of the Satanic Front and a foreign military power, I'm leaning towards officers of the Red Lodge in crisp, black Mao suits. I don't intend for these books to be classics or remembered by posterity, I just want them to compose my own Body without Organs.
Note: I have to pick my favorite seals from the Lesser Key of Solomon to assign to the demons of my choice, then either draw them out myself or find a way to print them.
Who are the gods, why do they matter, and how should we worship them? Belief, mythology, theology, rituals.
One problem that I've ben thinking of that I haven't had time to solve is the problem of Satanic theology. I'm not convinced that it's good enough to just go through the Summa Theologica and replace every mention of 'God' with 'Satan,' but where could I start mining to find its originality?
The Order of Nine Angles is interesting because there is no God or originating deity of the universe (or Cosmos), but there's an assortment of Dark Gods which reside in another dimension (very Lovecraftian).
Much like Cyclonopedia I need to try to imagine some Satanic artifacts. My Concept Generator can probably help with this a little. One of them obviously needs to be a trident of some kind.
Dark Souls and Bloodborne will always be more imaginative than any short story or novella David Myatt or Anton Long ever wrote.
How do the Daedric Princes have such strong characterization?
One of the biggest blind spots I see in Satanism is that it's never really had much in the way of engagement with contemporary artforms. David Myatt contented himself with works produced by the world of Greek Paganism. Cristos Beest contended himself with only music and painting. Where are the video games and comic books?
