Jorn Barger, in Robot Wisdom, pointed today to “Cat Yronwode’s Internet romance”. I don’t know why; perhaps she’s a friend; I surfed out of curiosity. Among other things I found, these are some links to the writings of the man she just married, who refers to himself in various ways including “nagasiva yronwode: tyaginator, nigris (333), nocTifer, lorax666, boboroshi”. Not for the faint of heart; not quite sure why I’m linking to them…

Monk Mind and Eternity: “Entertainment is a form of enlightenment which takes
place in eternity. Eternity is so far away, so unreal, and so
subtle that few of us can reach it. We find it so appealing
to spend our time in eternity. We find eternity so appealing
that we go to lengths to engage it. We engage eternity by
focussing on our navel or watching our breath or counting socks.
Some lazes and Buddha-heds have named this delightful activity
‘monk mind’, because the mind, in its efforts to engage eternity,
sits quietly and obediently as a monk in a zendo. Probably a
healthier way to engage it, if you must engage eternity, is by
jumping about wildly like a monkey in a cage, dancing, walking,
etc. But advice from Far Western sages would tell us that
doing whatever we want to do is the healthiest way to handle
entertainment or encounter ‘eternity’.”

Hermetic Self-Destruction Ritual: “Beyond the possible necessities of having contacted and communed
with the Holy Guardian Angel, developing one’s Body of Light to
absolute perfection, and resolving all material world affairs,
the following items will be necessary:

Poison (suffient to effect a slow but sure death)

Bottle of ticks (ravenous and lively)

Scalpel (seriously sharp)

Ice Pick (rusty)

Bolt Cutters (light but effective)

Acid (pref. Aqua Regia or some more potent concoction)

Chain Saw (the lighter the better)

(optional) Firecrackers (illegal in some states)”

Encouraging Suicide — Frequently Asked Questions:
“Attempts at suicide, and suicidal thoughts or feelings are usually
a symptom indicating that a person is ready and needful of a change,
often as a result of some event or series of events that one
personally finds overwhelmingly traumatic or distressing… Since this decision can be extremely difficult to make, this
article is an attempt to provide encouragement for suicide, so
that we may be prepared to recognize and help ourselves to end
the pain and the parasitic drain on ecological and social resources.”

The Satanism of JDeboo:
“Having received volume #5 of Jeffrey Deboo’s (hereafter
‘JDeboo’) Satanist essays in 1998, I’d like to to provide a
review of his expressions on the subject of Satanism as I feel
his text is the most eloquent and convincing of Satanists that
I have seen besides that which flows from my own cursor.”
