Why
does he carry a damn pitchfork anyhow?
 The
tiny twinkle brightened, bloated. Ergo, the Masochist was slowly returning
from his rendezvous with the mighty Eye-Mouth in the sky.
How should he greet him, in what semblance? More to the point, what
semblance did the Moloch Sedon prefer to adopt these days? Was he still
going with the veneer of a near-naked, red-skinned – not red-furred
– satyr? Probably.
True, as if to make himself appear less oafish and more fearsome, he
usually sported stubby horns, filed-sharp teeth, a forked goatee and
tongue, a braided ponytail and a spade-bladed tail. But did he have
to carry a pitchfork with him, like a labarum or a sceptre, whenever
he held court in his Grand Elysium pyramid?
Couldn’t he come up with something more creative? Did he really
not want to disillusion his admirers – his vilifiers more like
– that badly? In short, even though they hadn’t been seen
in hundreds of years, did he really not want to let down the Dual Entities
by appearing as other than their conventional visualization of their
everlasting antagonist, their Satan, their Devil Incarnate?
Probably not answered that. As much as anything even vaguely hircine
offended Mithras – merely contemplating Tralalorn and her goatish
chimera, something he strove never to do, made him gag involuntarily
– Sedon delighted in the look. HaShatan the Peacock Angel, wasn’t
that the latest name the Legendarian said some otherwise forgettable
Middle Eastern sect referred to Sedon on the Outer Earth these days?
Unlike the Female Entity, who could remember everything, hence her given
name Mnemosyne, which meant memory, he had no great memory for names.
But it could be. At any rate, he’d soon find out if his father
persisted in the guise of a hayloft bumpkin.

re: Exu
The mouse-over message reads: "Shot of a statuette of Exu, photo taken by Jim McPherson, 2006";
in the PHANTACEA Mythos the
Moloch Sedon hates to disappoint his fans; consequently, since they tend
to think of him as the Devil Incarnate, he often appears holding a pitchfork;
there are a number of statuettes of Exu in the Afro-Brazilian Museum of
Salvador, Brazil; all of them depict Exu holding a pitchfork; I first

The
Mighty Eye-Mouth in the Sky
Cruel Plathon – the fearsome, multi-horned Bull of Mithras –
slavered visibly. And he had such huge teeth. He was hauling his [Jotan
Tethys's] Meroudys in from Apple Isle in order to offer up her and their
newborn, or about to be born, rendered bled, to the Moloch Sedon, whom
Jot had heard revelled in eating babies.
That was how Mithrants and Mithradites alike would secure Sed-sire’s
aid, and their corresponding success, come this afternoon’s pending
Theomachy. It had to be.
Regardless of the fact that everyone except apostate Horrites –
like the homicidal Persian he’d heard about a few months back
– and other suchlike maniacal monotheists knew Master Devas and
their progenitors reviled, not revelled in, blood sacrifices, Jotan
felt sure of that.
Bursting away from his escort he raged off in the direction of the
Praetorium, above which the glorified dogcart by now circled. Thinking
him belatedly crazed by the departure of his recently All-claimed azura
– which, given his baseless paranoia, he probably was –
his companions tackled him. They then proceeded to hammer on him with
his very own hornpipe for trying to skedaddle.
A raven saw their faith-fanaticized brutality transpire. It was no
ordinary raven. Neither was it a psychopomp. While it couldn’t
talk, its cawing was instantly picked up and echoed by hundreds of other
Hellion-trained ravens in the Mithrants’ campsite and its environs.
Not just Hellions comprehended squawking ravens.

No one ever wins
a Sedonplay except Sedon - but the Bull'll try one anyhow
Plathon was among those who suspected Concord, who’d been boss-cowing
him around for the majority of that same sheepish era, re-subsumed her
third triplet either before or shortly after the Crimson Conspiracy
so dismally backfired. Had Strife-Marutia finally reasserted herself
decades more than three centuries afterwards?
Regardless, the Moloch Sedon was hardly the only one who could and
did play insidious games. Panharmonium Accord or no Panharmonium
Accord, he and Lady Lust had made plans of their own – ones that
would sideline Mithras, Kore and the Attis hopefully forevermore –
and he was not prepared to tolerate anyone else, even his grandfather,
interfering with them.
True, no one but Sedon ever won a Sedonplay. Nonetheless, there had
to be a way he could he turn this one to their advantage. The question
was how?
“Whoever he was,” Plathon deliberately deflected, attempting
to get everyone in the know back on track, as well as the Masochist
off it, “And however it was done, some one or some thing chopped
him up right royally. It looks like he was put through a sausage grinder.
Unless it’s for dinner, not even the Nergalids’ zombies
can make any use of him so Gravedigger’s burying his remains.
He enjoys that sort of thing.”
“Be that as it may, your bull-ship, I’d say we know what
to name junior here,” did say Miracle
Maenad ...

Henotheism
In his view, subordination
– what some called henotheism, namely a state of affairs in which
there are many gods but only one prevails as the King or God of Gods –
was small price for his brothers to pay for his forbearance and intercession
on their behalf with All of Incain. He, the deservedly declared Sire of
Civilization on both sides of the Dome, had nonetheless experienced it
many times over the millennia on the Outer Earth, where neither of them
was ever venerated under any name.
During Vedic times, for one, his binomial alter ego, Varuna or Uranus,
as some Middle Sea westerners had him, came to be considered the ultimate
ruler and judge; the one who sets the parameters within which everybody
could thrive, warrants and ensures contracts, forgives and punishes sin.
For two, circa a thousand years ago, that curious fellow Zarathustra –
he of the potent, not to mention swimmingly preserved spermatozoa –
acknowledged him, Mithras, by name, as the ‘Judger of
Souls’.
That Zarathustra also spoke of him as his God’s divine representative
on earth made no never-mind to Mithras. As much as it looked and sounded
like Varunamithra, Ahura Mazda meant Lord Wisdom in Zarathustra’s
native tongue. He was therefore more of a concept than a unique entity.
Since Mazda’s emblem, a winged ring or sun-disc was as close as
he came to having one of his own, Mithras got his reverence second-hand.

- "Theo 2: Thrygragos Varuna
Mithras"
And
henotheism was what he, ever so magnanimously, was offering his brothers.
They didn’t submit, didn’t subordinate themselves to him,
then they and not he would be responsible for their demise. They’d
be the authors of their own ‘theocide’, to coin a
word.

Could Thrygragos Varuna Mithras actually
have suffered from Tri-Solar Disorder?
(Smiler says:) “Or would you prefer Zeus? That was you, wasn’t it? One of you! The Great God reduced to infancy, the one the Etocretans’ human king, who was always designated Minos, sheltered in a mountaintop cave while the Female Entity’s perverse goddesses sought to extirpate you forevermore.”
|
At his request, the Legendarian once
in awhile regaled him with the utter strangeness of the egg-myth
of Mithras. The Earth virgin, who had to have been derived
from Mediterranean Athena and others of her by then long familiar
ilk, had a name: Anahita or Aban.
Just as his had done in earlier creeds naming him as Varuna,
Mithras, or both, as the binomial god Mitravaruna or Varunamithra,
her adherents venerated her as a fertility deity. How that
jibed with her being retroactively declared a virgin mother,
well, divinity had its dividends.
The male of the two putative Cosmic
Principals – Adam-Kadmon, according to some current
Cabalists the Legendarian also told him about – had
loosely labelled him schizophrenic. Helios had even joked
that the term ‘splitting headache’ was coined for guys, even if they were gods,
like him.
To that, and to Helios’s further assertion that he
suffered from a mental illness more correctly categorized
as bipolar disorder in his future-speak, Mithras countered
that he was better branded the bi-solar disabler
of disorder.

Smiler says: "Don't

NOTE: Actually Smiler doesn't
say anything of the sort in 'Feeling
Theocidal '. Besides, even if he did, no
one would remember it because no one can remember him unless
he's right there in front of them and wants them to both see and
remember him. Someone who does say something
like it, however, is Thrygragos Lazareme's
universally acclaimed-exquisite Unity of Balance.

Crack! Sky-Father
Varuna’s spermatic lightning hit the Mother Earth
virgin’s ovum in the form of a raised, navel-like
boulder or omphalos – an egg hard boiled to the point
of petrifaction – and, voila, he was born. Ha!
Certain misconceived Outer Earth mythologies
aside, as well as his occasionally crippling severe and
sometimes regrettably long-lasting schizophrenic episodes,
he and Varuna weren't separate beings. Varuna was just his
first name.
The Legendarian, who claimed to have copied the entire library of Alexandria with his devic half-father’s power focus, had even learned a term for the event: ‘petra
genetrix’.
Not only that, he’d come back with
a date for it: Year of the Dome 3800, or thereabouts. Ha
again! As if!
To cite just one example of how nonsensical the notion of him being born a mortal, only to go on to become humanity’s saviour, he gave Hammurabi his famous code of laws, minus the state-sanctioned executions, when the Babylonians revered him as the Sun God Shamash.
And that was something like 1600 years before he was supposed to have been born.

The Devil Sedon had one name. So did Unmoving
Byron and Everyman’s Lazareme. But, despite efforts his followers
made over the millennia to combine them into a binomial, Mitravaruna
or Varunamithra, he always had two.
When he was feeling generous, the mighty Moloch who
was both his father and his practical mother complimented Mithras with
words to the effect he had two names because he was simply too powerful
to be just one god. Indeed, as the Legendarian often complained, there
were so many holes in his collection of personal recollections he could
well have been a lot more than two distinct deities simultaneously.

The Great God Lazareme as Thrygragos Everyman
He was called Thrygragos Everyman because he seemed humanoid to a
human, saurian to a Saur, ophidian to an Ophidian, androgynous to
an Androgyny, and so it went. For their part, many devils saw him
as today, as a bright blur vaguely in their own chosen shape.
The one commonality of his seeming was members of every species –
save for pureblood Utopians, who despised devakind – perceived
him as the faultless embodiment of his, her or its own genus.
In that, Lazareme was in some respects proof of the theorem that
in every individual there resides the spark of godhood.
Put another way, if God, as he’d heard, was made in the image
and likeness of whomever or whatever, he had an innate as well as,
to quote him at his acerbic best, God-given aptitude for unthinkingly
making sure he looked the part.

- Text reads: 'Datong Harmonia - The Unity of Panharmonium'; the image behind the text, of a woman struggling to break out of chains, is part of a mural by David Alfaro Siqueiros;
 I first saw it at the Bellas Artes Opera House in Mexico City back in the mid-80s; I took the photograph I'm using for this collage when I revisited it early in 2008; I find the mural (which is entitled 'Nueva Democracia')
suggestive of Datong Harmonia, the Unity of Balance in the PHANTACEA Mythos (as well as the self-declared Unity of Panharmonium
in 'Feeling Theocidal '),
I prepared a very similar version of this graphic, albeit with a different
photo, some years ago, that variation can be found here;
I used the same graphic here; return to image;
- I took the shot beside this paragraph in Rome around the same time as I took the shots featured in this collage; the mouse-over message reads: "Shot taken in Rome, 2008, suggestive of the Unity of Balance";
- These look like Turkish 'bondcuts',
a good luck charm reputedly used to ward off the 'Evil Eye' in modern day Turkey (I've one on my mask-wall at home); images taken
from the Worldwide Web; another bondcut from the same photo is shown here; return to collage;
- The note re this statue is here; return to image;
- Years ago I read somewhere that 'datong' means 'harmony' in Chinese; since, as detailed
in 'Forever & 40 Days -- the Genesis of PHANTACEA',
the Moloch Sedon assigned Asian lands as far west as Persia, the Caspian
Sea and the Ural Mountains to Thrygragos Lazareme, his devic offspring
often appear Asiatic; return to image;
- A note re the Blue Lazareme is here; return to image;
- This image, which I copied from the Web, is
of a wild-eyed, modern-day adherent of Shiva/Shankar from the Indian
subcontinent (I pasted in the 3rd eye); in the PHANTACEA Mythos, Unholy Abaddon, the Unity of Chaos (Abe Chaos, named
after the Angel of the Bottomless Pit in the Biblical Book of Revelations),
is often identified with Shiva/Shankar (as in Oppenheimer's 'I
am Siva, Destroyer of Worlds'); primarily, though not
entirely, this is due to his power focus, which is a trident (actually
his real power focus is the so-called black-bolt blade of you guessed
it, which he dare never withdraw, not even partially, for fear that
by doing so he'll destroy Sedon's Headworld; what appears to be his
trident forms its grip, guard and sheathe); return to image;
- Image of Lord Yajur, the Unity of Order, as taken
from the front cover of pH-3, artwork
by Richard Sandoval, 1978; unlike Abe Chaos, whom he hates with an irreducible
passion, Yajur has no fear of drawing his so-called lightning blade;
if it weren't for Datong Harmonia forever standing between them (in
effect balancing them off), her two brood brothers
might destroy a lot more than Sedon's Head going at each other; return to image;
