Renunciation

The way of the world is illusion
I strive after true reality.
To be moved by earthly possessions is illusion
I endeavour to rise above duality.
To be the world's servant is illusion
I wander in the mountains alone.
Wealth and possessions are illusion
I renounce for the sake of the faith any I may have.
External things are illusion
I contemplate the mind.
Distinctive thought is illusion
I follow after sapience.
Conditional truth is illusion
I dispose the absolute truth.
'The printed book is illusion
I meditate upon the counsels of the ear-whispered tradition.
Philosophical argument is illusion
I study at length that which is unfeigned tradition'.
Both birth and death are illusion
I contemplate the deathless truth.
Ordinary knowledge is illusion
I exercise myself in wisdom.
The delight of mental thought is illusion
I dwell in the state of reality. 

The best of MMXVII.

Acherontas: Traveling the qlippothic tunnels.

Acherontas continue to get better with age. They belongs to the few who have always allowed the art do the talking and kept other artefact firmly in the shadows. Kudos to their staunch hearts and fearless mind. All their works are a compendium of their attentiveness towards esoteric philosophy. Engrossing in the mysticism and conjectural abstraction of history and the occult.

Catechesis - Kvltist

For many blerts, the diabolical music may be just another provenance of entertainment. That's not a dis, exactly. As I grow older, I have come to understand clearly that some extreme metal records work differently for me. Is utterly unimpressed with just about everything and everyone, with very a few exceptions. I think, there's a cut-off point in life till which period you absorb everything and after that point, your brain stops being ultra-sponge it was. Okay, the difference between ''Leytmotif Luzifer'', ''Liber Lvcifer I'' and ''Catechesis'' is refinement, not the quantitative difference in BM realm.

Catechesis strikes ahead with unswerving intensity. No fantasy, just absolute devotion to the black arts. It inspires fear instead of immediate affinity. It explicitly defines, what Satanic hymns are all about. MZI and Amon are the devoid of false ego and firmly believe that those hymns come not from that duo, but through them. That's Lucifer's gift to the few chosen superior humans who venture into the burning path in this wretched world.

''Let us rejoice! Let us rejoice!

the lord cometh, proclaimed through all throats, 

from the depths, from the heights!

Hosanna, brethren, as the lord cometh...

Open thy veins onto the soil where he will walk. Let us rejoice!''.
