"We, Mysterious initiates. Perpetual night, obliterates". Embraced red and the hour was long. An ancient song. No offering but a mad-horse dragging them along.

The Collector
At 4:57 in the morning, I hit a stranger with my car. Thirty minutes earlier, my best friend Morgan called me in a panic. She ran out of gas and was stranded on her way back from her family's annual Fourth of July party at their cabin up the canyon.

Ahriman: The Eternal Struggle Between Light and Shadow In the realm of ancient Persia, where the sun-drenched deserts met the towering mountains, there existed a divine balance between light and shadow. It was a delicate equilibrium, for on one side stood Ahura Mazda, the god of light and truth, and on the other, the enigmatic and sinister figure known as Ahriman, the Dark Adversary.
Iblis
In the celestial realm, where the cosmos danced to the harmonious melodies of the universe, there was an angel named Iblis. His name once resonated with the purest of intentions, but his fate took a different turn, and he became known as the Fallen Angel of Temptation.
Lucifer
In the shadowed recesses of the infernal realm, there existed a tale rarely whispered among the damned souls and demons that roamed the desolate landscape. It was the story of Lucifer, the Morning Star, the angel who fell from grace but sought redemption. The flames of hell had forged his dark legend, but within the heart of the fallen angel burned a spark of hope.
Beelzebub
Beelzebub: The Lord of the Flies In the depths of the infernal realm, where flames danced and tortured souls wailed, there was a figure unlike any other. He was known as Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies. A dark and enigmatic presence, Beelzebub held a unique position in the hierarchy of hell, commanding a legion of demons who reveled in chaos and decay. But his story, like the tale of any fallen angel, had a beginning shrouded in divine light.
To Wet the Earth With Blood
In ancient times, in the lands ruled by Druid and inhabited by Celt, human beings were burned alive on terrific bonfires, often caged (as the famous bad movie depicts) in "wicker men," tall wicker effigies in which they were imprisoned. The fires were to light the pathway of the Sun, as it fell into the kingdom of the Lord of the Dead. This Lord was SAMHAIN, ("Saveen"), and it was on his most unholy of nights when the "Hell-Gate of Ireland" was opened, and the ancient spirits so malevolent to the ursuper man, ushered forth. These creatures had been driven back, once, at the battle of Mortura, into the sea--the ancient Fomor; but, like Lovecraftian hybrids of man and monster, they would return, "when the stars were in alignment," and they needed propitiation. They, in short, demanded BLOOD.
NOT FOR SALE
In an effort to come to terms with the surreal events of the past two days and to confirm my own sanity, I am composing this piece. My hope is that by doing so, I can assure myself that I am still anchored in reality and have not completely succumbed to madness.
