@ KS, I've taken your comments under advisement and pasted them into my study notes - I have begun reading and commenting in full but it will take considerable time to read either and then compare both. As stated, my first comments were very brief, and rely on the translation of a translation of...
The Temple of THEM was strongly influenced by Lovecraft and utilizes numerous lovecraftian memes, concepts and ethos, spread throughout its artwork, writings and bearing. Our final grimoire for instance, is called the Themonomicon.
H.P Lovecraft had a brilliant mythos - it simply lacked a few...
I'm back. Thank you Kerry for your comments in reply to my own, may this dialectic inspire food for thought, teaching and learning for all including some fresh conversations on these important matters of trad sat and the occult - I doubt my ability to write an entire book, but I will continue as...
ps - I am entirely aware of here translating a translation of a translation - but will get to an english translation and that of Myatt's - wherein to comment on both - in due course.
[30] What many understand of the Spheres of the Tree of Wyrd is that to explore them, and extract the secrets within, is to Master them and mistakenly, also infer that such mastery implies a gain. Wherein it is in fact the opposite for if we were to gain more forms we should never...
Some readers are greatly puzzled with all this. It must be noted, at this juncture, that the writer of our treatise did not discover new ideas or invent new terms; he used what was in his mind and the mind of his circle. It was, however, the weaving of it into a whole, not as a literary...
What some authors have seen as the fundamental dualism of our text is, however, by no means so very marked, for it leaves it clearly to be inferred that the Darkness comes from the Light itself, for previously there was nothing but Light and all thing had become Light to the eye of the seer. It...
The three most primal stages thus seem to be symbolized by Fire, the Watery Substance, and Darkness. These were not our differentiated elements but the Primal Pre-cosmic Elements, what Christian theologists would call the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. The same idea, though in different...

Numbers added by myself to aid reference to my readers.
Some very brief, opening comments and allusions/parallels drawn between the pymander tractate and the o9a. Posted in parts because of...
Correct. And yes - particularly as it relates to the o9a. Doubtlessly the translations of English and Greek profoundly differentiate the landscapes that arise from reading a translation, and I, too mundane to read Greek must rely on Myatt's efforts - but I think there is much to be gained from...
Lest, having Him, I must have naught beside).
But, if one little casement parted wide,
The gust of His approach would clash it to.
Fear wist not to evade, as Love wist to pursue.
Across the margent of the world I fled,
And troubled the gold gateways of the stars,
Smiting for...
This work by Myatt on the Pymander Tractate is interesting - and continually ignored as a conversation I see. Would you care to discuss it, Kerri Scott?
I will invest time in a comparison between this http://www.alchemylab.com/mead.htm
and this...
Some musings from some observations. (Addressed originally to many on facebook)
Elitism in Satanism attracts types who are or pretend to be desensitized to violence, killing and suffering of human beings and in some cases consider themselves above the 'mundanes' for this desensitization - and...
To quote the Inquisition: “Now, you either understand that a sinister-numinous mythos is or can be affective (a presencing) both via individuals and otherwise – that is, a type of sorcery, affective over periods of time in respect of some (not
all) individual psyches – or you...
For historical purposes: the aforementioned draft of Conn's book Blood, Wine, and the Golden Chain mentioning THEM: [with several key words/passages underlined.]
"...However, even as the Old Guard had begun its gradual withdrawal from public duty in the last decade, new voices have risen to...
