Quotes

The Terrible Male … functions not only as a principle that disintegrates consciousness, but even more as one that fixes it in the wrong direction… [H]e is the destructive instument of the matriarchate, as its henchman; he is its authority, as the maternal uncle; he is the negative force of self-destruction and the will to regression, as the twin; and finally he is the authroity of the patriarchate, as the Terrible Father… whenever the ego is overwhelmed by the sexual, aggressive, or power instincts of the male,or by any other form of instinct, we can see the dominance of the Great Mother… the phallic Terrible Father is only her satellite, not a masculine principle of equal weight.
-- Erich Neumann, The Origins and History of Consciousness

"Every change in the relations between the sexes is attended by bloody events"
"[E]ach tribe has its tyrant. Since... there is... no such thing as individual paternity, the whole tribe has only one father, the tyrant... the tyrant derives all his rights from woman. The tyrannis is transmitted by way of the womb."
-- J.J. Bachofen, "Myth and Mother Right" (abridged English translation)

[K]ore’s bond with Demeter was the surce of the primacy of mother over father, of daughter over son … in ancient terms, the cultic-religious meaning of the maternal … is pimary and dominant.
-- J.J. Bachofen, Myth and Mother Right

The End Of Communist Inevitability

---
In 1843 a book called the whig interpretation of history was published. It was very tapped into the zetigeist. The basic theme was the moral superiority of the English civilisation of the time. Not only was then-present society better than anything that had gone before, it was the best things could ever be. Nothing could improve on Anglicanism and constitutional monarchy. All that remained was for the rest of the world to catch up. This was what history had long been building towards.

Things had suffered a slight backwards step in the dark ages, but otherwise history had been a tale of progression from them to now. This is the Whig Interpretation of History: that history is going somewhere, and that somewhere is here.

This theory fell apart with the fall of the peaceful nineteenth century liberalism. But the core idea survived. History isn't just the tale of what was, but a process by which we approach a distinct goal. The early socialists, including Marx, believed their triumph was a historical inevitability. They had a better system and people would eventually wake up and embrace it.

The idea survives today, having outlived Liberalism and Communism. Another book has become its most famous expression, "The End of History" by Francis Fuck-ya-ma, State Department operative. Back to the nineteenth century liberalism. But this time there was a difference. There was no true belief behind Fukuyama. His book wasn't a statement of belief, but a statement of intent.

The intent was to eliminate all alternatives to the economic orthodoxy. The new interpretation of history was the old interpretation of history. The Whig interpretation. History was going somewhere again, but not into communism or Anglicanism. Now it was going, and had always been going, into capitalism and facade democracy.

But this isn't the way of history. History is not going anywhere. History is not a tale of progress but of conflict.

Return of the ancient evil

"Then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and reveling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom."

Christopher Lee quote

I am absolutely certain that there are thousands upon thousands of people today actively using black magic to get what they want. I'm sure they're responsible for much of the bad in the world, such as the wars in the Middle East [and] political corruption....

Black magic has a church-like hierarchy with leaders who want power over people. At the bottom are people who get conned into devil worshipping because they're lonely, insecure, or frustrated....

My roles in horror films brought me into contact with people who furthered my occult knowledge. I feel very much that it's my responsibility to persuade people to turn away from black magic...and I think my movies do just that by showing the true horror of evil.

Good game, good game.
