some groups talk alot. Others have something to say. I for one am not content simply intellectualizing the possibilities of becoming a new type of being. there are those who take the prospect very seriously.
Notes on the Sinister Tradition
Tetrahedron:
The tetrahedron is symbolic of the Nine Angles. When made of certain minerals/crystals the shape itself is a very powerful source of magickal energy, and this may be amplified by chant/vibration of certain names. It is the 'schmir' (qv. Tukiphat - a distorted symbol of a Guardian to one of the Gates) and is activated by the Sphinx. [See also: 'Notes on Esoteric Tradition - Cosmic Wheel and Tetrahedron' MS.]
Atklal Maka:
A chant sometimes used in the Natural Nine Angles Rite by the Priestess if the glade has a spring of water. It means 'the flowing waters of the Earth' and is chanted in homage to Gaia since natural springs are regarded as Her children.
Bron Wrgon:
One of the twin nexions important to the Sinister Tradition - the other nexion (its location is known only to Adepts of the Tradition) is the Magickal centre of this current Western Aeon. Bron Wrgon remains more elusive - opinions as to its location tend to differ. Among those Tradition mentions are: Caer Caradoc near Knighton; a site about 3 miles NE of Knuckles where a cottage called Brynorgan once stood, near a batch. Severed heads were reputed to be set up here, within an enclosure.
Eulalia:
An 'Earth Gate' located in the southern part of the Long Mynd. Often favoured as a site for the Natural form of the rite of the Nine Angles - associated with a certain Dark God, of feminine aspect.
Kabeiroi:
The 'mysteries of the Kabeiroi' (sometimes spelt Cabiri) is one of the esoteric traditions associated with the Hellenic Aeon, In its original form, 'the mysteries' concerned certain deities often represented in the form of Griffins and connected with the sea as well as Demeter - the `mother Earth' or Gaia. According to sinister tradition, the mysteries concerned the Dark Gods - in various 'shape-changing' forms - and related how Demeter gave the first Initiates of this Tradition a crystal (later venerated at a shrine near Thebes where a sacred grove to Demeter existed) as well as showing how an individual, through various rites which involved Gaia, women, sacred marriage and so on, could be transformed to a different realm of consciousness. This transformation, as in other Greek Mystery cults, was achieved mainly through personal involvement in ritual/ceremonial action often of a mythological kind.
Later, this tradition became divided - Eleusis representing the 'Apollonian' element, the Kabeiroi the 'Dionysian' or darker aspects, for it is said that all Initiates of the Cabiri had to have committed a crime greater than common ones.
The mysteries of the Kabeiroi were often celebrated in mountain shrines (certain combinations of rock and underground water being regarded as sacred - that is, capable by their magickal power of transforming the consciousness of individuals - cf. various sites of the Yezidi who upheld a more garbled version of the Dark Gods tradition) and to reach these shrines was considered part of the process of Initiation.
Greeks called the Kabeiroi 'the great gods'.
