<\/p>\n
The Shamans and spiritualists of years gone by have left a long time ago.
\nAural traditions were to remain but got heavily influenced and forgotten through the shifting sands of time.<\/p>\n
As us, the modern world, put forth our concrete buildings.
\nDiscuss political escapades, our latest vacations abroad and get lost in the fantasies of superheroes.
\nIn fantasies or religion.
\nFantastical world of social justice.
\nEncourage minorities and fight for respect and inclusion.<\/p>\n
A part is missing.
\nA divine and magical hand.
\nNot only did Nieztsche predict the death of god.
\nHe exclaimed it.
\nHe boldly stated its replacement.
\nLook around you.
\nLook inward.
\nMost of our current gods are to be found in digital media.
\nIs it not that we seem to be living in a period of superhero revival?
\nIs it not that many of us vouch for a new cause?
\nBe it BLM, Feminism, Manosphere, Climate, Transgenders and the like?<\/p>\n
Spirituality down the drain as the new mistresses learned about emotion and inclusion.
\nNatural fragility and exacerbation as we spin down into an abyss of self-righteous ambiguity.
\nExclamations of mastery in the lower echelons of lesser magic.
\nOr call it marketing.
\nOr call it branding.
\nMental fortitude to evoke emotive responses.
\nTo guide the wills of many through social programming.
\nExclaim the coming of the forthcoming of the next magical age!<\/p>\n
Cowards in deceit.
\nBy their own incompetence and fragile egoes.
\nThe masters of old have turned into ashes as anyone could have foretold.
\nSpread around.
\nTheir thrones and empires left to future kings and queens.
\nYet none to take up their royal crown.<\/p>\n
Is there not even a Helevant worm?
\nHas magic become insignificant?
\nCan we only rhyme for a dime.
\nDegenerate and devolve to cybernetic monkeys.
\nApes who throw shit at the old masters.
\nAnd being a mockery of the inherent potential lost?<\/p>\n
How long has it been?
\nWhen adepts set foot in the abyss of the natural world?
\nDined with maggots beneath their feet.
\nPreyed and dined on vermin.
\nWashed themselves in creeks.
\nSlept in crevices.
\nAppreciated dawn after a cold dreary night.
\nThe very first steps into the abyss.
\nTo have encountered the natural primordial beast within.
\nMagical moments so eagerly evaded and seldom persuaded.<\/p>\n
To understand their craft.
\nTo walk the path.
\nAnd reach beyond.<\/p>\n
Understand that mastery is not tradition.
\nUnderstand that it is not mastery in itself.
\nIt is what is done.
\n“Will to power” are merely words.<\/p>\n
Inherent cruelty and self-flagellation.
\nAs fetishists lost in the abyss.
\nSearching for meaning and contentment.
\nWhere none is to be found.
\nAs overstimulated senses have been blunted and stunt.
\nThrough emotional over-gratification.
\nAnd made to mock the pious disciples and masters.
\nWho could move the world.<\/p>\n
There is a vacant throne.
\nBefore the dare.
\nCan you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
