Thanatos

"I will give you sanctuary in these hymns of thanatos"~Otep

Hello, dear friends. It has been 74 days since my last.... oh, wait; not confession, since confession implies sin, and we all know that there is truly no such thing as sin. Its a tool of those that prefer to rule through fear and shame. But anyway, just a passing thought, although it has been 74 days since my most recent blog entry, which brings me to this point. Greetings and welcome.

Let's talk about death, or as it was known in ancient Greek, thanatos because this applies now, right? But that idea would imply that there is a time that it is not about death, and that is scientifically impossible because we live in a physical reality. Hence any time that time exists, so does death. I love that thought. After all, that's a large part of the draconian left hand path tradition. When we accept that death can occur at any time, we free our minds from societal limitations, thus moving us one step further along our individual paths. 

It is the month of April, and we are very early on in the year, so we are still in a position to decide how we want our magical year to flow. I have been highly enjoying the Temple of Ascending Flame (http://ascendingflame.com/index.html) material, but of course I have *cough* projects that are occurring as well. 

But how about you? How are you approaching this year? What steps are you going to take on the Draconian Atlantean Left Hand Path? Whatever steps those are, just remember that as you move forward, you slow dance with death, and what a danse macabre it is!

So relax, enjoy, and know that we walk a path that most shun, for here be dragons!
