Sor Polyhymnia & Fra Nefastos © 2024 “The doctrine of oneness is a doctrine of freedom; the doctrine of destiny is the doctrine of trust.” 1 In Matthew,2 the Bible speaks of faith the size of a mustard seed as the prerequisite for moving mountains. Supposedly, this tiny speck contains the potential for doing the impossible.Continue reading “ON TRUST AND FREEDOM “

ON THE ASTRAL REALM
I Astral, or “starlike,” is the Other World, unbeliavable and mythical to many, yet met by all in dreams – and after death. It is an inner world, without objectivity, made of and sensed by associations, the magical imaginatio of the living, projecting mind. But since our mind is never ours alone, but a curiousContinue reading “ON THE ASTRAL REALM”
ESSENTIAL PURIFICATION
© fra Necros Much has been written and discussed in the Star of Azazel about unifying the hands of the Left and Right paths. Applying principles for striving, that is, the effort to strive upwards on one’s path of ascension, is not done through an immediate focus on outer form or action. What first must beContinue reading “ESSENTIAL PURIFICATION”
THE EMBODIMENT OF SHAKTI
© fra Necros “Pleasure, the tantrikas realized, is a manifestation of the ultimate bliss, which is an inalienable part of our true nature. Put differently, our search for pleasure is, in the final analysis, a quest for the bliss of the the Self (âtman)” – Georg Feuerstein1 In this article, I explore the Kaula/Kula Tantra, whichContinue reading “THE EMBODIMENT OF SHAKTI”
SHAME
By Nefastos 2020, translated by Necros 2023 “Those who are ashamed of deeds they should not be ashamed of, and not ashamed of deeds they should be ashamed of, follow false doctrines and the downward course.”-Dhammapada1 For those who walk the path in the cultural atmosphere of Finnish cold northern bleakness, shame is one emotionContinue reading “SHAME”
CYCLIC DEATH
© fra Necros The work of an occultist permeates their life and essence. Seeking the correct path is a constant process, and upholding the practice of upward striving requires commitment. We are striving towards understanding and an increasingly perfect humanity. In the Star of Azazel, the work requires purification and unification; one must unite the leftContinue reading “CYCLIC DEATH”
VEIL OF SUFFERING
© fra Necros “I have seen the dark universe yawning – where the black planets roll without aim, where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge, or lustre, or name. … Oh, great was the sin of my spirit, and great is the reach of its doom; not the pity of Heaven can cheer it,Continue reading “VEIL OF SUFFERING”
WRATHFUL ASCENSION THROUGH COMPASSION
© fra Necros Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: they shall be filled – Matthew 5:6 In this article, I attempt to present a mental exercise where we transform our suffering into sacred wrath and where the suffering experienced by the world presents us with the challenge of cultivating compassion and love.Continue reading “WRATHFUL ASCENSION THROUGH COMPASSION”
THERE IS NO PERSONAL GOD
The more exoteric a religion is, the more personal of a God it believes in. The more esoteric a religion is, its God is less human-like and thus less petty. All ideas about God being “jealous,” “vengeful,” or even “loving” in any personal sense are sentimental nonsense at best. The theologico-poetical claim that “God isContinue reading “THERE IS NO PERSONAL GOD“
THE HALF-BEAST PUZZLE
“Part of the tragedy is that man does not usually see his own state, for it is precisely the realization of one’s own state that breaks the dominance of a mental habit. Realizing is an act of being awake in spirit, for the human self is consciousness, cognition of one’s inner essence. The truth willContinue reading “THE HALF-BEAST PUZZLE“
