A study in the Process Logics, starting with Responsibility: Process Logic L-1 Where a person has the power to choose, he has responsibility. Where he accepts his power to choose, he…

Arte then what Nature left in hand doth take, And out of One a Twofold worke doth make. A Twofold worke doth make, but such…

Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum
I must profess, I know enough to hold my tongue, but not enough to speak. Elias Ashmole Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum is a compilation of English alchemical literature, first published in 1652. Prior to its collection and release by Elias Ashmole, the works contained within had only been available in private manuscripts. This is the full…

The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats
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…

Epilogos: Progeny of Tradition
Reposted from davidmyatt.wordpress.com: As I inexorably slip away toward my mortal demise this is all I have left in numinous remembrance: Ensemble Gilles Binchois – Gaudeamus Hodie: Puer Natus Est Nobis. Words – denotata – and their dialectic, have become irrelevant. One thing rings true: Nothing that I have to say – or can say…

Two Can Play That Game
For my own good measure I added, “You know what they say,” and he looked apprehensively from the road to me, as each of our radios interrupted me in a scratchy choral tandem, “if you know about the Star Game – you’re playing the Star Game.” I reached up and flicked the lights on at…

An Introduction to the Druze
The Druze are one of the most mysterious old religions. They are a closed religion and a people that is characterized in recent years by their isolate quiet. Druze is an Abrahamic religion, like Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and the lesser-known Baha’i. Druze call themselves “al-Muwahhidan” meaning “Unitarians”. Unlike the three largest aforementioned Abrahamic faiths, Druze…

AI Myatt
Today at work I found my attention waning. My recent absence has been due to travel for an intensive trial. It has been an equal challenge to re-orient myself to daily life. This time, I decided to let my mind wander where it would, and decided I had some questions for David Myatt. So, I…

CHOKE ON THE ASHES OF YOUR HATE
Not every thought has to be spoken but this one will be: I really like chaos.I like to be in a wild metal show throwing people around as hard as I can and getting the same and getting up against the front line and feeling all the energy in the air.I think anybody who doesn’t…

Short Important Announcement
This blog (Instarmimesis.wordpress.com) and Lux Lycaonis (luxlycaonis.com) and (to a lesser extent) Antithesis Press (antithesispress.wordpress.com) are the only websites I contribute to. Due to a concerted effort to make this appear otherwise, a sudden influx of confusion and traffic, detailed threats, and persistent stalking, I must now clarify this. I have no interest in participating…

Theater of Cruelty & Mimesis Leviathan
And if Perseus is proud of Andromeda too in the stars, do but cast your eye towards that side of the heavens, where the brilliant Ophiuchos is conspicuous holding up his encircling Serpent, and you will see the circlet of Ariadne’s Crown, the Sun’s companion, which rises with the Moon and proclaims the desire of…

Notes on Harmonics, Will, and Pendulums
Bergson’s pendulum states:All prolonged action, it would seem, brings about a reaction in the opposite direction. Then it starts anew, and the pendulum swings on indefinitely. …the pendulum is endowed with memory, and is not the same when it swings back as on the outward swing, since it is then richer by all the intermediate…

Know Thy Roots, Know Thy Fruits
In the spirit of thinking out loud, here are some additional disorganized thoughts of my own. I speak for nobody but myself as I voice these. I speak to nobody but who is listening, and in direct response to Chloe352: “… all this, don’t take it as anything else but this. And if one day…

On Outer Representative: A Response to Chloe352
A close friend gave me some advice recently in a conversation we had regarding the welcome and anticipated return of a mutual friend. It meant a lot to me and the insights gleaned from it have had me thinking a lot today about the nature of Water. What he said was this: “What happens when…

Judgment
In a coded show of allegiance. What exists in me exists because of where it’s been. In this way, none of us in this world are so different, only in terms of our natural mechanisms. If we could accept the ways in which we fail each other, I think it would be difficult for the…

Brace Yourself
After the Siege on Mariupol, March 2022, the whereabouts of this painting are, as of yet, unknown. There is a grief that strikes me differently when I look to the battles that rage on in the world and I see, in retrospect, all of the art, culture, literature, and creative presences that are destroyed without…

Contact and Horror
HORROR | Lux Lycaonis IF HORROR IS ALLOWED TO, IT WILL CAUSALLY POSSESS YOU: It will hijack your instincts. You will flinch at a jump scare. You will scream at a haunted house. You will hold tension in your body. Worst and most horrific of all – you will possess it in turn. When you…

THE INSTAR EMERGENCE: Mimesis, Mythos, and Recalling
Saturn’s waning acted as a harbinger for a distinct and rejuvenating shift in the tenor and tone of my path. As the first chilled breaths of the season’s cool first glance from the eye of Winter lands into my lungs I feel warmed by the comprehension of what exactly is waning and waxing. However, in…

The Panther
The panther paces. Waiting reminds him that clarity is painfulbut his pain is unreadable,obscure, chiaroscuro to their human senses. In time they will misread his gait,his moon mad eyes,the almost gentle way his tail caresses the bars. In time they will mistake himfor something else –without history,without the shadow of being,a creature without the penance…

The Five Laws of Stupidity
“This is a theory of stupidity, which states stupid people are dangerous…” 1. Everybody underestimates how many stupid people there are, regardless of numbers. 2. The probability that a person is stupid is independent of and uncorrelated to any other characteristic. 3. A stupid person causes losses to others without gains to self. 4. Non-stupid…

The Library of Babel: An Open Source Collection of Everything
A veritable Open Source Entropy Host, ‘The Library of Babel’ may appear as pure chaos. Or, it may appear as pure inspiration. You may not understand, you make seek to, you may find. Or you may be trapped, never even to realize what you could have been, if only you knew what could be. The…

This Magickal Grimoire was Co-Authored by a Disturbingly Realistic AI – VICE News Last month I read this article from VICE News.

μὴ μοῦ τοὺς κύκλους τάραττε
“Do not disturb my circles.” The last words of Archymedes, killed while too engrossed in the drawing of mathematical circles to listen to the orders of a Roman soldier during the raid of Syracuse. I have always been a lover of puzzles and logic games, especially when the puzzle is interesting enough to keep me…

The Need to be Silent: Some Notes on Empathy, Communication, and Writing
When I sit down to write, I feel energized and invigorated again. Fall is here and as the crisp air begins to roll in, I feel myself burn with a passionate fervor, a profound love. I feel empowered to speak form to my formless wyrd. This wasn’t always the case for me. I used to…

Parallelism
Lately, I have been interested in the subject of Parallelism as it pertains to Baruch Spinoza’s philosophy as well as broader understandings of the philosophy. What follows are mostly open-ended notes, hopefully to inspire anybody who comes across this entry to consider the idea or to open dialogue with other interested parties. First, Parallelism presupposes…

Antithesis Press has recently been a leading voice in the scope of the sinister-numinous way and especially the sphere of the LHP occult…

Wandering, 1972
“Over this brave small road, the wind blows. Tree and bush are left behind, only stone and moss grow here. Nobody has anything to look for here, nobody here own anything, up here the farmer has neither hay nor wood. But the distance beckons, longing awakens, and trough rocks and swamp, snow, they have provided…

An Unfolding of Physis
In certain occult traditions, the concept of coming into contact with φύσις (physis), or rather, the unfolding of one’s own physis, is a core practice. Often, it is used in a similar (though not synonymous) sense to οὐσία – essence, or substance. I have decided to explore physis throughout some Occidental philosophies, especially in the…

(In)comprehensibility: Higgs Boson and Occultism.
Let’s talk about the nature of opposites, dualism, and CERN. First, we must agree on terms. I ask the reader for charity in the likely event of a mistake. Bridging gaps in understanding means simply that we are this much closer to comprehensibility to one another. In addition, to humor me, for I will be…
