Sacraments of Stellar Gnosis

by Jhon Longshaw








The waters of the moon bequeathed the unknown virtues of the serpent
and the sword. Fragmentary, luminous bones cast the reflective light
upon the numinous. The strands of the shores of our inner seas were
illuminated by the depths of stars unbound. All hail the procession of
masks; within benighted chambers gleam the eyes of sunless
discernment. Ghostly images burn with splendor and debauchery;
septenary, quaternary, serpent fingers gesture forth the veils
awakening. Vomit forth the flames of swarming vultures to devour the
wings of she who sheds perfumes of excremental ekstasis and the kiss
of the dove shall excite descension's perfection upon the tinctures of
crimson and mauve and nothingness.
By the twin serpents, the initiator of the flames, 
set forth in KA M MA TZRA.
The keys of the manifold burning towers 
encompass the flesh of her
translucent eyes.


Tumultuous atavisms secrete the throne's refulgent splendours.
I am the I of thorns, the door to the key of searing petals of illumination.
Fragmentary, luminous shards mirror and arouse the opulent fractures.
Unto somniscient strangulations 
swell the knowledge of the serpent and the goat.


An ouroboros of vines unveils the shadow's breath, casting the
kingdoms of thy might and thy breath;
coherent wombs incite scarlet miasmas, shrines of katatonic
mesmerizations exhume the baleful mudras.
Silver and gold adornments exhume the perichoresis, the disjointed
interpenetrations upon the face of the waters.


The hidden lies in the house of the nameless... ZIN between the fevers
of the sun, the inverse temples.
The igneous crowns, the swollen apertures, alight my abberant voices,
clothed in the garments of crimson and spectral execrations.


Sussurations of sinister ruminations coerce the tridents shimmering,
absorption of the sigils of your suppurations.
And the calignostic coruscations erupt forth the venomous pleasures.
Ophidian rapture engulfs the fertile swarms
Impinging spectral deleriums upon the crown of this, 
our blasphemies' fervors.
Latitudinous visions secrete her gate of devourment... 
I and the moon are one...

G. Alden Davis's
THE FOLD


G. Alden Davis wrote his first short story
in high school, and received a creative
writing scholarship for the effort. Soon
afterward he discovered that words were
not enough, and left for art school. He was
awarded the Emeritus Fellowship along
with his BFA from Memphis College of Art
in '94, and entered the videogame industry
as a team leader and 3D artist. He has over
25 published games to his credit. Mr. Davis
is a Burningman participant of 14 years,
and he swings a mean sword in the SCA.
He's also the best friend I ever had. He
was taken away from us last year on Jan
25 and I'll never be able to understand why.
Together we were a fantastic duo, the
legendary Grub Bros. Our secret base
exists on a cross-hatched nexus between
the Year of the Dragon and Dark City.
Somewhere along the tectonic fault
lines of our electromagnetic gathering,
shades of us peel off from the coruscating
pillars and are dropped back into the mix.
The phrase "rest in peace" just bugs me.
I'd rather think that Greg Grub's inimitable
spirit somehow continues evolving along
another manifestation of light itself, a
purple shift shall we say into another
phase of our expanding universe. I
ask myself, is it wishful thinking?
Will we really shed our human skin
like a discarded chrysalis and emerge
shimmering on another wavelength
altogether--or even manifest right
here among the rest without their
even beginning to suspect it? Well
people do believe in ghosts, but I
myself have long been suspicious
there can only be one single ghost
and that's all the stars in the universe
shrinking away into a withering heart
glittering and winking at us like
lost diamonds still echoing all their
sad and lonely songs fallen on deaf
eyes and ears blind to their colorful
emanations. My grub brother always
knew better than what the limits
of this old world taught him. We
explored past the outer peripheries
of our comfort zones to awaken
the terror in our minds and keep
us on our toes deep in the forest
in the middle of the night. The owls
led our way and the wilderness
transformed into a sanctuary.
The adventures we shared together
will always remain tattooed on
the pages of my skin. They tell a
story that we began together and
which continues being woven to
this very day. It's the same old
story about how we all were in
this together and how each and
every one of us is also going away
someday and though it will be the far-
thest we can manage to tell our own
tale we may rest assured it will be
continued like one of the old pulp
serials by all our friends which survive
us and manage to continue
the saga whispering in the wind.
