I answer to the name of Krabiel, might be my magic name might be not (something time and transformation will decide) but is the one I choosed as my online persona.
I found this Temple's existence just yesterday, after listening to some of the Coven's work on youtube by the last week and finally finding their interesting boutique of rituals, it was a matter of a few clicks to just stumble upon the Devilism main website. And I was more than intrigued so I started to read and, some could call it signs, I read the words Northern Spain, Pyreness and Scorpio. I'm spanish and from Barcelona so quite close to the mountain range and, of course, I'm also Sun on Scorpio (4th of November). The odds? A few there are, but not many.
So I keep reading, watched some videos at Devilism's channel, listened to some words of wisdom from Master Falcifer and got, finally, all hooked. I gladly bited, and munched, the bait.
The first thing I did last night, after this discovery, was a quick tarot draw of just five cards. With an empty mind but the volition to know my next step. Some felt more about situational worries, but two of them were meaningul to this: ace of swords and ace of wands. Realization, clarity, resilience, opportunity, inspiring motives.
Also, the inverted lovers. It was time to love myself a bit more. Maybe to give my love to my true Dark Within.
I see myself as a rational person in a wide and open meaning. I was always seduced by the mysterys of the occult, hermetism and satanism, my inner self asked for something more than just the mundane.
My flirting with lady darkness and occult knowledge has come and gone, It was never my life focus but something like a side chick. And I regret it, I sincerely do.
The mundane things of this husk we call world feel and taste like rancid dust. I'm not here, living in this flesh carcass, to just be a peon and piece for this Mendax Machina. The call to revolt burns within me, asks me to be and act true to myself. Wathever I am, for sure I'm not a willing slave.
Alas, as what I do for a living and mortal banalities, I'm a consulting programmer. I find joy and express my creativity through writing and little by little steps on videogame developing. Just a hobbie, right now.
I'm glad to be here and have the opportunity to learn more, above all, about myself.
This is just my first salutation and I'm sure it will not be the last time you read my words.
Take it for granted, my Gospel just has begun.
"The mundane things of this husk we call world feel and taste like rancid dust. I'm not here, living in this flesh carcass, to just be a peon and piece for this Mendax Machina. The call to revolt burns within me, asks me to be and act true to myself." .. I can relate, I fucking hate this place, this cosm, this prison. Infinite possibilities and this... this is what we're left with.,, NO. The gods show us what is possible, and what is possible is grandiose and beautiful and fulfilling... but then we have come back to this mismanaged joke of a world. It's a heavy contrast. Daemonic culture, as the demons understand what social and cultural order can be and is best like, resonates with our spirits. That's why we're here. Good intro! Thanks for sharing.
