Article for SOD #1
Written by Pazuzu - 09/18-09/20 1993
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE: To avoid any and all confusion, let me state RIGHT NOW that this
publication is not in any way connected with DnA Magazine. Do not assume by
the fact that some of the same people write for DnA and SOD that they are
connected, because they aren't.
Anyway, I had serious trouble coming up with a title for this article,
because there's so much I want to include in it, so I just settled on
"Article for SOD #1".
I have finally found what I've been looking for since I was very young in a
magickal system. I've been trying to find a magickal system that works for me
for a long time, without too much success. I looked through a bunch of stuff
on wicca, decided that was too limiting. I tried a lot of the Golden Dawn
rituals, and those worked, sure enough. But afterwards, I was too tired to
enjoy any of the effects, and anyway the idea of going through three hour
rituals is not appealing to me. I tried many other things as well, too
numerous to go into here. Then about two months ago, Vandal proposed the idea
of putting up an occult section on my BBS. I jumped at this idea - I had been
wanting an occult section for a long time, but I couldn't find any interest
in it. So we put the occult section up, and he started uploading a lot of
files on a type of magick I had never heard of - Chaos Magick. I started
reading the files he had uploaded and eventually decided that this is what I
had been looking for all this time. Now I had to find more information, so
Vandal took care of that by giving me a copy of Liber Null & Psychonaut by
Peter Carroll.
I am just beginning my studies in Chaos Magick, and my progress is made much
slower by a lot of christian dogma that is ingrained in my subconscious. I
have come to one major conclusion (which should come as no surprise to anyone
involved in this type of thing...): IN ORDER TO HAVE ANY SUCCESS IN ANY
MAGICK (ESPECIALLY CHAOS), YOU MUST REMOVE ALL RELIGIOUS DOGMA (ESPECIALLY
CHRISTIAN) FROM YOUR CONSCIOUS AND SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. You see, I was raised
christian. Hardcore. I went to a christian school starting at kindergarten
and all the way through until I was a sophomore in high school. I had always
thought that there was a lot wrong with a lot of the christian teachings.
Even as a little kid of 7, I thought the teaching that drugs (especially
natural ones like marijuana and mushrooms) were EVIL and would get you sent
to hell was a bunch of shit, even though I had never taken any drugs, and at
that point didn't think I ever would. It never once says anywhere in the
bible that drugs are bad. It says that alcohol IN EXCESS is bad, but never
once says drugs are bad. And then there's the whole issue of sex. Now,
christian teachings say that sex with anyone you're not married to is evil,
but never once explains WHY this is so. I mean, other things that are claimed
to be evil are all explained, like murder, it's OBVIOUS why it's bad. But not
this sex thing. I can't see any reason why sex, as long as the people
involved are consenting and willing, and proper precautions are
followed, can be deemed evil. It has no harmful effects. I think it's all a
control thing. The bible was written by some control freak who wanted to
control people through his writings, and he succeeded on a grand scale - he's
long dead, and his writing STILL controls millions of people's lives. I am
making progress toward de-programming myself, but it is somewhat difficult
because a lot of it is buried in the subconscious. I have fairly recently
found something that speeds the process up - and that brings me to my next
topic...
On October 11, 1992 at about 6pm PST, I committed a very serious crime. I
tried to commit suicide. Well, that's what I would be charged with under
California state law. Actually, I took my first LSD trip. Granted, the trip
was rather unfocused and chaotic since my "guide" for the trip is a total
twit even when sober and at the time he was on three tabs - but, I realized
that LSD (and most likely many other chemicals as well) is a very powerful
force for removing mental blocks. The sheer number of problems I was able to
resolve and the amount of new ideas I came up with during the trip was truly
astounding. It's a shame I didn't have the sense to write them down! I have
since taken several trips with much more positive results. The occult
benefits of using these chemicals must be truly amazing. I haven't tried
using chemicals for occult purposes yet, but I shall be attempting this
soon... Vandal, Dos Kia and I have planned to release Liber LSD, Liber MDMA,
and Liber N20 detailing our findings sometime in the near future.
Well that about wraps it up for this article. I have to go work on some stuff
for DnA now, but I'll be writing at least one article per issue for SOD. Look
for Issue #2 coming soon. We are the only Digital Occult magazine I've seen
out there, and we hope this will help some travellers on the devil's road...
Until next time...
