Order of the Fly - Beelzebub's Charge | Forum

I don't think it's that much of a taboo since the excessive and, even reckless, consumerism is mainstream. Sure, there is a green movement but, paradoxically, it encourages even more consumption. It's enough to mention investing increasing amounts of money into new eco-friendly power plants, encouraging consumers to buy solar panels and more expensive ecological food. It's pretty much the same with socialism; giving money to the poor so that they don't opt out of the consumption and providing more or less effective safety nets to motivate people to spend money instead of saving it. Then there are loans and credit cards. Seriously, I see regularly ads offering the loans for realizing "your dreams" but I haven't seen even one advertising bank deposits or investment programs. I guess self-restraint doesn't pay off or just isn't cool while devouring more and more (literally and metaphorically) is desirable and brings profits... but for whom? It's a rhetorical question.

I would argue that in modern times it is a minimalist lifestyle that is really against the current. Because it is at odds with what the banks, manufacturers, marketing companies and the whole society expects of an individual.

However, your post reminded me of something so I will share an anecdote. I like doughnuts so I went to my local shop to buy some. And one big disgusting fly was sitting there on one doughnut licking off the icing. I came back home without doughnuts. 

Altogether, virmin isn't cute but it can shed some light on how the Christian imagery concerning the devil and demons was used to discourage undesirable behavior just like I stopped being eager to buy my doughnuts. The rebellion against it could be a thing in the distant past though. Now, paradoxically, locking oneself in some ascetic monastery would be more in line with Vamachara than selfish indulgence. Whether it would be Satanic is debatable. In my opinion, the popular assumption that Satanism has something in common with Vamachara stems from the Western misconceptions surrounding the tantric practices.

Anna, I don't know if Poland and the USA are similar in this regard, but here in the USA, there are two competing mindsets, one pro-consumption, one anti-consumption. You're absolutely right that people with a pro-consumption mindset would not find Vamachara in greed and gluttony. However, there is a huge population of people in the USA who are anti-consumption, at least in their virtue signaling and self-deceit. Sure, they probably rant about greedy corporations raping the earth while buying the very products those corporations are selling. But part of what Vamachara is about in the first place is confronting self-deceit and challenging the hypocrisy of virtue signaling, thereby shedding more and more of the bullshit personality so the true one can emerge.

My own sister is heavily anti-consumption. She would never, ever endorse anything like what I wrote in Beelzebub's Charge. Not even in the privacy of her own room.

As for me, personally, there's is definitely some Vamachara in the idea of taking everything and leaving nothing for anyone else, if such is the degree of my appetite. My empathy is highly developed, though I often wish it wasn't. I have to exert every ounce of my will in order to behave as one who is indifferent to the happiness of others. That's precisely why Beelzebub's Charge, recited ritualistically, is cathartic for me.

With conservative Christian authority becoming  more isolated to pockets surrounding Appalachia the younger generations have pushed it the furthest left it has been since 1969.  It took 50 years to come full liberal circle but PC = Hippie and there are no two ways about that. 

Luckily, it's more divided today. And it's not 80% of people under 30. It's 65% at most. 

That said, the current societal taboos include but are not limited to; harming children, harming animals, trashing the planet, racism, sexism, xeno/homo/trans/chiono[phobia], patterns on textiles, unintentionally offensive parts of speech, literary characters, sports mascots, car models, the names of colors, and fun. 

My question is, will it switch back again? Or was slipping back with Reagan the ebb and flow for and against the inevitable "progression" of Western Society. 

Is liberalization and PC shit part of an unstoppable trend across modern societies regardless of politics? And is there a definite trajectory left that happens as a byproduct of advancement alone? 

An arrow that points one way sociologically? 

Geraldo, I think in Hegelian terms: thesis, antithesis, synthesis. Western history for the last two thousand years has been partly defined by this Hegelian dynamic: self-centeredness as thesis and altruism as antithesis, but with a recurring failure to achieve synthesis, forcing everyone either to pick a side or to mindlessly oscillate between the two poles. 

A possible synthesis has always been available: the Family First principle, whereby I sacrifice for the sake of my (usually extended) family, and don't give a rat's ass for anyone or anything else.

 

I revised Beelzebub's Charge to make it more megalomaniacal and to push it further into more obvious Vamachara. Bear in mind: Realism is irrelevant in ritual. All that matters is the psychological effect: the catharsis.

In my room in the dark of night, I light two small red candles in miniature cast iron pots, then recite Beelzebub's Charge either once, twice, or thrice, as the mood strikes, bookended by a triple repeating of "Hail Beelzebub!"

Beelzebub's Charge continues to evolve as I continue to use it in ritual. I feel my psyche evolving in parallel with the Charge. This is the part that can't be taught in books. Only by engaging in actual practice does one experience the mutability of the psyche. This is the true magic. Let others prattle on about curses and love spells. What I am doing is the true alchemy as was known as far back as Hellenistic Egypt. It's the Great Work, which has been pursued for at least two thousand years. The target was always the psyche. All the rest was symbolism.

The four crown princes of hell represents the elements so the black magician can choose any devil he wants that associates with the elements. I have selected Iblis as fire elemental instead of Satan because Satan is best as the fift element of spirit. The spirit is the connection of all the elements so I find Satan best to represent spirit as he is the king of hell. It's said that we are all spirit just manifested in different egos and shapes.

Quote from Tom Riddlel. It's said that we are all spirit just manifested in different egos and shapes.

Maybe the pentagram can be used as an association for this : the top point : primordial spirit; with the remaining four being alternate manifestations of this primordial energy at varying densities.

 

Spirit is your fate and burden; spirit is your destination.
