Even now our destruction is being unearthed: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/25/new-study-buried-structures-stonehenge_n_5709137.html quote: The mystery surrounding Stonehenge has suddenly deepened -- literally. A first-of-its-kind study suggests that 15 previously undiscovered or poorly understood monuments lie hidden under the ancient stone monument and its surroundings.
quote: The new survey builds on findings from last October indicating that the area around Stonehenge is the oldest continually occupied region in Britain. The scientists behind that research said that the land there may have been occupied since 8820 B.C.
There was a reason why it was buried with the locals then fleeing as far as they could from the site all those thousands of years ago! And now the fools have unearthed it...and something slouches to Bethlehem to be born. Oh, Yeats, your prophecy mistaken for a poem is about to be fulfilled! Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? --The Second Coming by W.B. Yeats. IP: Logged |

Wait, an even more appropriate song dedicated to our doom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1AD-vozeCg As our faith bleeds into day This feeble dream is born As dark as winter's voice As silent as the rain A place is found within Where hearts are formed of glass And fragile songs are heard As mist from ancient times Everyone will fall again Everything shall die again And within the violet rose Matures to fall in Ash Our fears, confirmed, do sleep To trouble us no more And in the dimming light Her eyes do grace my thoughts As haunting as the sea As soft as winter's touch Everyone will fall again Everything shall die again IP: Logged |

Having seen a one or two go off the deep end at LL and quite a few sensing a coming doom I thought I'd experiment. I decided that Bible prophecy, psychics predicting the end of the world in 2012, and the like were all old hat and decided to shake it up with a little Yeats and Bella Morte in Lovecraftian tones. It was fun! 'Course I'm just playing around. I suppose if I truly believed/felt it then it wouldn't be quite the roller coaster ride that I could shriek in delight as I rode knowing I'd get out of at the end of a quick thrill. IP: Logged |

Hi PixieJane and everyone else.I suppose it may be interesting to see what they uncover and to see what happens next. You seem to be overjoyed at the ensuing insanity that is consuming those tortured souls you mentioned.I can't exactly say that I blame you. Sometimes it is fun to watch the world and its inhabitants start to crack and crumble under all the strife,the strain and the horrors of this universe.I guess I'm a wicked mood at the moment.I thought of this song in which the spiteful and misanthropic sentiments expressed by Satan seemed to be rather fitting and appropriate for the thread and my current inner discord. Cradle Of Filth Babalon A.D(So Glad For The Madness) http://www.youtube.com/watchv=3VG7Xd7RjOc&hd1 I bled on a pivotal stretch Like a clockwork Christ Bears sore stigmata, bored And as I threw Job, I drove Myself to a martyred wretch To see if I drew pity Or pretty litanies from the Lord So the plot sickened With the coming of days Ill millennia thickened With the claret I sprayed And though they saw red I left a dirty white stain A splintered know in the grain On Eden's marital aid So glad for the madness I walked the walls, naked to the moon In Sodom and Babylon And through rich ****** and corridors Of the Vatican, I led a sordid Borgia on I read the Urilia text So that mortals wormed As live bait for the dead And as I broke hope, I choked Another pope with manna peel Dictating to De Sade In the dark entrails of the Bastille And as he wrote, I smote A royal blow to the heads of France And in the sheen of guillotines I saw others, fallen, dance I was an incurable Necromantic old fool A phagadaena that crawled Drooling over the past A rabid wolf in shawl A razor's edge to the rule That the stars overall Were never destined to last So glad for the madness I furnaced dreams, a poet, for of sleep Turning sermons with the smell On witchfinder fingers Where bad memories lingered Burning, as when Dante was freed to map Hell I sired schemes and the means To catch sight of the seams And the vagaries in between And midst the lips and the curls Of this **** of a world In glimpses, I would see A nymph with eyes for me Eyes of fire that set all life aflame Lights that surpassed art In sight, that no intense device of pain Could prise their secrets from my heart I knew not her name Though her kiss was the same Without a whisper of shame As either virtue or sin's And pressed to her curve I felt my destiny swerve From damnation reserved To a permanent grin So glad for the madness These two songs seem to make me think of unholy events. Immortal The Sun No Longer Rises http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHM74p_QcTM&hd=1 In the mist of the twilight you could see me come To walk the endless woods alone The Earth is freezing As I walk it become colder Forever descending in a place of the moon Where shadows moves with grotesque eyes Where demons rise Surrounded by black and mourning moon fog And the eyes of the dark ones Sempiternal woods wait only for me A path opens clearly Sun no longer rises Over cold and forgotten valleys Sun no longer rises Where I walk Where I come I believe in tragedies I believe in desecration To the North And into eternal winters To the north In the grip of eternal frost Cradle Of Filth Scorched Earth Erotica http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1KtoAnBS1Q&hd=1 Sunset, expect This to be your last with our vast return As death is set At three sixes where hill-beacons burn Darkness, undress Your descending skirts yield a thirsting altar Blood-red, yet still unfed Lips distend ending, time to falter Darkness, welcome arms wide and crucified, the slaughter Darkness, lightening freezes seven Darkness, outtakes from the rape of the world Darkness, sins expelled from Heaven Now befoul from the bowels of Hell Where the tragic in theory and practice fell Last prayers, hang in the air Each unto their own rag and bone-meal saviors Strung where crippled vultures dare Golgotha, coughs another cross to grave God's failure Darkness, once the forests spired Darkness, nurtured in nature heart Darkness, now dreat cedars feed the pyres Need-fires lit for greater harm Darkness As her children toy with razors Darkness, sightless and deeply scarred Darkness, and the moon arose to phase her Cracks a grin so wide it hides the stars And lights our path, back through the shattered glass We come like drumming thunder Tides enwreathed in scum and plunder Kraken-teethed to tear asunder All those too blind to see Where the tragic in theory and practice meet Deranged, uncaged We rage like a plague through this age of greed Sowers of discord, growing wars to reap A terrible crop to beat a vicious retreat Scorched earth, rebirth Disintered in the writhe of the lone survivor Whose worth is worse than the curse Of Sardonicus, choking on his own saliva Who shares the last laugh now Dead wedded fates fulfill their vows? Foot in mouth of sacred cows (Foot in mouth of sacred cows) Face down in dust and poisoned ground

I was very lazy and looked and up what Lewis Carroll's answer to the riddle was “Because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front!” I suppose you assume I have never felt so bad that I if didn't laugh I would burst into tears or that I never felt suicidal.I suppose I shouldn't expect one of God's little pets to be able to think that only God's little lambs suffer or feel anything.I'm not on God's side nor am I on Satan's side.I don't even really know if the Christian God or Satan exists I only think it's a possibility they do.I find older gods and goddesses a lot more interesting but even they don't make me feel any better and just like my fellow human beings,your God,your Satan can't really be trusted because this universe is filled with chaos and everything in it has the potential to turn against you and everything else.Humanity and all of the deities are all about who has the most power,who crushes their opponents and who wins the game.Men and women of all ages races,religions,sexualities,nationalities all of them including me are equally as rotten as each other.I wish I never existed.The only good things in this universe are the plants,the animals and the earth itself.I couldn't care if humanity,your God,Satan and any other deity in existence was obliterated.I feel like I care less and less as the days go by.I am sick of other people looking their noses down at me.I am major **** up I admit it.Although there were times I admitted it and said sorry and I can deal with that.Although its seems everyone seems to forget the things they do wrong.I hate the way I make the exact same mistakes that other people make but I am always ten times worse than they are.I hate the way we forgot their mistakes and yet we can never forget mine.Before am excused of being an attention ***** I never wanted to be in the spotlight.All I ever wanted was to feel like I actually mattered in this universe.All that your God if he exists does is torment me.He lets me have a little happiness then takes it from me and turns the world against me even when I didn't do anything wrong.He always finds the perfect way to make me feel like I'm outside looking in.Even when he lets me come inside I'm not really wanted there.If he gives me something special he will deliberately make sure the there are many vultures circling around who want to take what I have.Usually if something means the world to me he'll take it from me or will send those people who already have many blessings to take it from me.They are usually the type who don't know they are blessed and yet they resent me if I get one small little thing.I wasn't dragged up,my mother never needed to bribe me,I could take no for answer,If was bad a got a smack.I was happy even if didn't have the latest toys.I was never obsessed with money or being filthy rich or famous . I'm still that way.Whether you believe it not there was a time when emotions and feelings meant the world to me. I try to keep the negativity to myself and I try to just get away from people when I'm like this. I don't want to burden other people and I'd rather be a pariah than let anyone try and control me and get enjoyment at lording it over me.I don't like being in debt to anyone.Believe it or not I hate causing great big scenes.Sometimes I do try and control myself.I hate screwing up.When I am feeling as balanced as can be I try to do the right thing.I can only take so much and I refuse to be a scapegoated or demonised and if I feel that is happening to me again one of these days I will give them their demon.I did have people who care about me and still do but even they make me feel empty and like I'm an alien.Even those people who have known me all my life don't really know me at all.I don't care what anybody thinks about me.I stopped caring years ago.I do care though if they effect my life and make it more complicated or try to harm me.Even though I don't care about them that doesn't mean I'm going to let them take a free shot at me and if I can I'll find a way to pay them back.I know that you can only look out for yourself.I just want to exist without the rest of you.I do sometimes feel sad,sometimes I feel like crying when I look at the state of the world and wish I just click my fingers and make it all better but that's not going to happen. I suppose I'm going to get a massive lecture about your God and how great he is and how evil I am and how perfect you are.Then you are going to start quoting bible passages.Your God was never there for me when I called out to him.WHERE WAS HE WHEN I FELT LIKE MY WORLD WAS CRUMBLING ? We aren't all his spoiled little pets like your are.So don't you ever dare tell me how I'm supposed to feel or how I'm supposed to feel about him.If he has problem with me he knows where he can find me and let him do it in person I don't have time for his messenger's or his sheep.If he really wants my soul so badly He come and get it himself.He has probably all ready given up on me so I may as well just say HAIL SATAN HAIL THE ***** OF BABYLON HAIL THE ANTICHRIST HAIL ALL FALLEN ANGELS HAIL ALL DEMONS HAIL ALL OTHER GODS HAIL ALL GODDESSES HAIL GRAVEN IMAGES IP: Logged |

Thank You, Panthero. I truly apprecite your explicit Satements and profound devotion to your S-elf! And I suppose i could even honour your Humility towards Earthlings.However, I do believe their is A GOD, who does not take Pleasure in the death of the Wicked. MY God has no pleasure in the death of the sinner. He avers this, and even takes his solemn oath of it. Surely, it must have been his intention to make himself believed; and certainly he ought to be believed. When he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself." Such "an oath for confirmation should be an end to all strife" of conflicting opinions. No doubt God will pity sinners in hell forever. He has given the highest evidence that he loves sinners. Think how long he spares them to live in their sins; at how great a sacrifice he sent his Son to die for them, even while they were yet enemies. What proof of love can be greater that this?Panthero {hugs} and Love. Did not intend to hurt you.Forgive me. I have been through all those feelings that you so passionately describe. I am like the walking dead now. Not because of MY GOD, only for the sake of my children. IP: Logged |

I probably shouldn't have ranted like that so while I am in a calmer state I would I am going to say sorry Rajji that I didn't be rational when I replied.I know that you mean well. I still can't get my head around some of the things you have said.I have heard them before and I have tried to believe and feel glad about what you have said and I still can't do it and feel like I know or believe its the truth deep down in my soul.I have tried for years and I just can't process it.I my mind all I can think of is that God shouldn't have let the universe be like this. I think it should have been perfect even if Satan changed things God should have just changed everything back to the way it was.I am having trouble with trying to continue with life.Even small little things set me off.I feel like Doctor Jekyll I can only suppress Mr.Hyde for so long until he breaks out.To make matters worse I feel like Doctor Jekyll is disappearing or he and Hyde are becoming one.Sometimes it does bother me and other times its hard to really care.When I'm good really good when I'm bad I'm horrid.I feel tired trying to be both at the same time.I do feel like I lose if I'm good and I lose if I'm bad.I should probably try to balance and bring the shadow side under control.I try and fail miserably.I always have this weird feeling like I'm in the middle and both the good side and bad the side turn on me.Since you have been nice and replied the way that you did I hope that things work out for you and you feel better soon.I don't really want to discuss God or religion any more as I'm feeling tired and talking about it just seems to be pointless and always drives me mad.I feel like that with most people I talk to.I am going to go off my computer for a bit so bye Rajji PixieJane when you read through the thread I know you will be angry at me and you have every right to be.I know that you probably wanted to have a light hearted and rational discussion about the topic.I shouldn't have posted in the first place when I was in the mood I was in.I have a lot of negative emotions that I don't let out or can't let because they are the type that destroy souls and are really destructive.Plus I am constantly swinging between my good and bad self.I read the post and I just couldn't resist playing devils advocate and replying to it.I know that you were just trying to present your case in a humorous and thought provoking manner but I think I saw a of part you that was similar to me and that made me feel a little unbalanced.I know that serious topics like this may upset you but you still use humour to tease a little bit.Most of the time I know you are joking but because of the way I am I give a humourless or really scathing reply. I think one of the reasons is because at times I feel like in my real life I give an inch and people take a mile.I think because I am dual natured when I think about how you can write the way you do and be understood it just triggered something in me because of my inner nature isn't understood.Discussing topics like this doesn't make me sad and they don't make me happy but sometimes they appeal to a chaotic part of my mind.I know you probably weren't happy that some people where feeling uneasy but I replied in a twisted way.I feel misunderstood in real life and feel many different conflicting emotions at once and am constantly dealing with conflicting parts of myself that's why I feel like everyone turns on me and I feel like I'm alone and have to be prepared to take on anyone and everyone at any time.I felt angry at you and tried to reply in a way which seemed like it was implying you enjoyed their misery and I was trying to be humorous and deadly serious at the same time.Perhaps it gave me an opportunity to try deflect attention from me and the same time gave me an opportunity to vent some of my negative emotions.It also gave me an opportunity to vent about religion.Sometimes just feel so vicious,apathetic and spiteful that I behave in really horrible ways and stir things up.I feel a bit disgusted admitting all that. Although I admit my conscience isn't actually working very well so its hard to feel sorry about something or to feel sorry for to long.Anyway I disrupted your thread and brought drama into it so I'm going to leave it now in order to avoid any more drama.

Pathero, You give me strength when I just can't carry on and I truly treasure that. You have inspired me in more ways than I could have ever imagined. It continues to remind me that there is always, always, always something to be thankful for. And that no matter how good or bad I have it, I must wake up each day thankful for my life, because someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. Truth be told, happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them. Imagine all the wondrous things your mind might embrace if it weren’t wrapped so tightly around your struggles. Always look at what you have, instead of what you have lost. Because it’s not what the world takes away from you that counts; it’s what you do with what you have left.Stay Strong.I will contiune my topics in spider line where we can seek the Great Perhaps. Please, ALL of You, dont miss my topics so far.Keep up with me as it will take some time and energy. Patience is the key to untangle the SPIDER'S WEB.

That's interesting. I thought you were being tongue in cheek, not angry (at least not at me). I say it's interesting because people assume I'm judging and criticizing all the time when I'm not (not most of the time anyway, I do try to be clear about when I am, not passive aggressive about it--those who think I'm being passive aggressive have almost certainly gotten my intent wrong). I wonder how many times I accepted someone's passive aggressive or even scathing response as tongue in cheek humor or otherwise taken more literal than it was intended? It's a lot harder to "read" someone online than off because there typically is no tone (or a tone can be faked) so it's all too easy to imagine a tone into a post. More than once I was gobsmacked by someone's reply to me saying I was being cruel or something...I'd read what I posted again and experiment by "changing the tone" (to something closer that the one offended wrongly assumed in all likelihood) and can see why...not that I accept blame in most cases as that's more about the reader's insecurities that "misread the tone" (hearing their mother's tone, or that of some bullies, whatever, rather than my genuine tone) than my own intent. And now I see I do it in reverse...I heard your "tone" as humorous and imagined a wry grin on you as you posted it rather than genuine anger. On the plus side, I'd rather mistake people's hostility for humor or whatever than to assume every comment and question is a personal attack against me. As it is I normally suppress my humorous side on LL because many do take offense and/or take me way too literally. IP: Logged |

Oh, Panthero, you may or may not like this vid, After Dark by Seraphim Shock, one of the rare "satan chic" vids I actually enjoyed (whereas most just come off as silly to me, though sometimes funny, especially when I see the singer as just trolling fundies and laughing all the way to the bank): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCSIL-IupQU WARNING: I imagine those who remember some sort of satanic and/or sexualized ritual abuse would find that very hard to take. I think I like this one because there's an artistic element (though maybe I'm imagining too much into it) in that the lyrics seem to metaphorically describe a violation of an innocent (shown a child self in vid), the blood ("scarlet rain") never fades from memory, nor the feel (the "snow" which can have more than 1 meaning), and her god couldn't stop it, destroying her faith, leaving her in eternal fear and later damnation. The 2 women seem to be her inner desires, childish & innocent (in one scene the adult women turn into 2 little girls and then back again), and yet she realizes too late that she didn't want what she wished for, but it's too late. Morbid, but something many people can relate to (if in more mundane ways). That, and there's a haunting quality to the music (just as there is to the video visuals) that I like.

Though metal isn't the only genre who make songs about Satan. I'm sure most have heard of the country song Devil Went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels...but how many heard Devil Went Down to Jamaica? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4iCaDCX3jY My all-time favorite song about Satan, ever!

*just a note to say that when I made my comment, I was thinking about people I've known in life and not here (although thinking more about it now, I've also met some of the same online). But I was referring to a couple of people in my life that have nothing to do with here. I have not read through the thread thoroughly, but did find humor in PJ's initial postings. Anyway, I might read through the rest later. I just mainly wanted to say that my musing was not directed at anyone here. (i feel like i have to say that - and hesitate to say anything anymore because, oftentimes I will write something and suddenly I am in a brawl with someone who took it the wrong way, when I meant it about someone else who doesn't even post here) I really hate having to be so choosey and careful with my words, but I guess that is a part of forum life. Okay. Carry on. IP: Logged |

PixieJane I hope you know I don't feel extreme malice towards you.I think sometimes there is miscommunication sometimes like you described.Usually In my head I feel like I'm debating with myself and my thoughts have a habit of spiralling obsessively in my head. I think sometimes the voice of my own mind seems to get more abrupt or angrier.I can relate to that.I do like you even though there may be some differences of opinion at times.I do get really unhealthy thoughts about most people including close family members.They can be hard to deal with once I calm down because I know the horrible thoughts that went through my head and once I am calm my conscience may start to be able to function again.Sometimes when I get Like that I feel like I just feel so primal and its like nothing matters.Getting like that annoys me whenever I like someone and then I have all sorts of horrible feelings about them .It gets worse when I am stable because they may help me or do something nice or make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and then I think of the darker thoughts and feel imense guilt or shame and try to block it out. I have waffled on a bit to much and gotten a bit to deep but I do want to try and be friendly and forget about the negative crap I brought up.I think the lyrics of the The After Dark Song where very well written and I felt like the music was very penetrating it was like I could feel the vibration go through my body.I haven't slept so maybe that helped make the sound more powerful.Do you think it would be good music to go into a trance like state with ?I will need to watch the video again to get a better look when I have gotten some sleep and can analyse it better.I have taken ages replying back because it takes me a while to process what I'm going to write plus my mind races. The Devil went to Jamaica was amusing lol GoodNight Pixie and Everyone IP: Logged |

I know what you mean, and I found humour in PJ's posts, as well. IP: Logged |

Well said panthero even if you took it back.I don't believe a messenger of god would behave with such arrogance as Rajji, I don't believe god to be threatening Because As Rajji is ALwaYs saying its in ouRSelf and any outside entity trying to impose a fear dictated belief May as well be religious institutions or power abusive types. Rajji I follow god but you are not en route Although am not sure if being British automatically disqualifies me! IP: Logged | |
