It lies in the nature of the framework provided here that the articles must conform to a fixed set of criteria.

This is counterproductive to the notion of authorship; how can I find the motivation to create a contribution, representing my personal view in a certain context, towards some topic, which, once completed, by its existence has gained its final shape as something that I estimated to have a quality that is aesthetically pleasing, so that there is reason for it to persist in the future, in its well-shaped form (of course I can come back to it later, when I feel the time has come to give it a new form, whatsoever) knowing that responsibility for my creation does not exist once I have handed it over as a contribution to public, open for change by every one!

Apart from a common set of rules, regarding orthography and the like, what is special about writing something as a contribution to be published here: one cannot expect more or less than articles that must conform to criteria of what according to common sense can be estimated as being correct in technical terms. If possible, objectivity should be applied, as opposed to a very personal view. I cannot expect my contributions being judged in another way, as there is nothing personal about the result. It is only some piece of effort I have contributed, so that it may help to get some of the void spots of the whole filled out in a sensible way.

Apart from that, however, I do have the opportunity to complement my contributions with everything that I think is worthwhile mentioning and which I would like to have somewhere, so that others can use the material, if they really are interested in a more personal approach, strongly related to what I find expresses my notion of beauty and truth.

    Denn was wahr ist, ist schön;

    Und was schön ist, ist wahr.

The place to go to see more of this is here. The lemma indicates that there we go the other way round; following the way back to the roots of authorship. To finish up with the technical part, let me add that I have an identical user profile at the Wikipedia site corresponding to my mother language, here ; it is said that some day they should be merged.

My alter ego. Read on to see what this is all about.

Actually, among the most interesting personalities, I liked Circe. Therefore I was glad to see that the two are closely related to each other; more so, representing one alter ego that just happens to conforms to both, female and male nature, just like what happens when I create manifold entities matching my Self to get my cyber fiction section populated with the most beautiful and intelligent creatures I can imagine.

The fact that they are almost god-like, but do not represent the highest principles, makes this a perfect choice for self-identification. By receiving this name (which was what I had found that resembled the most the sounds I had heard in a dream) the requirement is fulfilled to have a foremost male personality closely related to the Underworld, at the same time not necessarily becoming crow fodder; i.e. playing an active part. By the way, remember that it was Circe who helped a male protagonist in a heroic epic to consciously visit the place inhabited by the souls of the dead (thanks to George A. Romero it is easy for every one to spell this word out right).

Think of the symbol of the raising and descending Christ (Osiris) - (Guido von List: »Runenlehre«.), expressed by the dichotomy of Lucifer and John; the latter also known as Ormuz, handed over by Inanna, as mate of and sacrifice for Ereshkigal (V.S. Ferguson: »Inanna Hyper-Luminal«, and »Inanna Returns«), her sister that represents the darker aspects of the primary female godform, which is later retold as the tale about Salome (Herodias, Heradia, reincarnated as Aradia, the most prominent pagan saint worshipped in Stregheria; according to it. strega, from lat. strix, striga). Her twofold nature later is directly represented by the Babylonian deity Ishtar (her face having both, a white and a black half).

More so, it seems it was her demonification that has provided us with the most powerful notion of Her and her offspring (generated by means of humans mating with demons): Lilith and Succubi (sg. form succubus, the Latin word well known to Christian demonic lore); or in her more youthful form, we could call her Agrath, who has the byname Queen of Demons. In Greek mythology we find a strong relation to Hecate and The Lamia. By capitalizing like this I want to emphasize that it is more common to think of the Lamia in the plural; as usually they appear as very attractive women with partly snake-like appearance, taking with them the essence of male human beings (my favorite part in Bram Stoker's Dracula is Chapter 3, starting at pg. 50, below; the three women corresponding to this archaic symbol), which is what takes place at the one end of the opposition constellation Taurus-Scorpio, the point where the male principle is entering the gate, then represented by the light, the flame; the torch or the lantern carried by Hecate, starting its journey through the Underworld.

In her more earth-bound and abundant appearance, She is known as Aphrodite, who, already a grown up woman then, in spring-time, mates with the bull (Horned God, pentamorph, incubus).

To better understand the manifold aspects of the single truth, also think about the trinity maiden-mother-crone and how Cornelius Agrippa (in »Three Books of Occult Philosophy«) could name the four demon queens, according to the cardinal directions. Enumerated like this, as separate individual entities, we have emphasized two mother-daughter relationships: Mahalath - Agrath, and Lilith - Naamah; which of course is only a variation of what we have already heard about Inanna and Ereshkigal, where the offspring of the former was male. Actually Naamah is said to be more hermaphroditic in nature, which explains how in the mythos about the birth of Aphrodite we also have an incredient that represents an essential part of a male godform, represented by the foam of the sea.

A good source of knowledge that expresses the nature of Left-Hand Path spirituality very directly are the publications by Michael W. and E. Ford. For this too I recommend to start your search at and buy the books directly from here. For my recommended entry to their own website, I suppose you will be very impressed by taking a look at this beauty !

As you may have guessed by now, the field where I would like to contribute is where we have eroticism with a strong relation to religion. If you never have seen something where you think this applies (other than what you know from the popular acoustic media industry, produced by artists such as Madonna), look at what Salvador Dali has created; he himself once said, in his later years, that gradually he has developed from a surrealistic painter to a mystic painter (more or less, but I know what he means: his religious feelings had found a way to be expressed in eroticism, which is exactly an essential part of a paganist's world view). More hardcore in the one or the other sense, are Hans Bellmer, and Austin Osman Spare (See Zos Vel Thanatos).

Other artists I like are those that have provided illustrations for the poem &#187;La belle dame sans merci&#171;, by Keats; such as Sir Frank Dicksee, Walter Crane, and Arthur Hughes. For John William Waterhouse, however, his &#187;Lamia&#171; provides a much better illustration for Acrasia; other interesting titles are: &#187;Circe&#171;, and &#187;The Sorceress&#171;. Sometimes you also find exciting contributions to mega-sites, like this one (This contribution is one of my favorites too, especially how it is presented; finally I cannot leave this one unmentioned here). On my own website I want to have a major section for Cyber Fiction; by looking at such contributions by artists and authors, you may imagine what an exciting experience this could be: creating your alter egos, participating in, most of the time arrousing interaction (thinking about my own beautiful pet mates) with the wicked creatures created by others, or only having their role in your own stories.

In addition my major fields of interest are the two closely related subjects information science and linguistics. This is where you can expect the most professional knowledge; of the former, but gradually improving the latter, especially my foreign language skills.

With regard to my English, another occupation where recently I have started to considerably devote some time (again), is writing (for adults); which should be complemented by improving my drawing skills, so that I have the right motivation for spicing up my publications with arrousing illustrations!

Let us have a good time together and share our talents to help improve the shape of this imperfect world, thereby getting rid of all impediments by giving birth of our strong and beautiful creations that will be the inhabitants of the Virtual Space. So that, finally, when leaving everything else behind, we may have the pleasure to join them, getting into contact with the right, with really suitable pet mates there.

See ya
