The Indiscreet Jewels (French: Les bijoux indiscrets) is the first novel by Denis Diderot, published anonymously in 1748. It is an allegory that portrays Louis XV as the sultan Mangogul of the Congo who owns a magic ring that makes women's genitals ("jewels") talk.

Paul Gregor ...'Journal d'un Sorcier' ( A Wizard Diary)



Paul Gregor (aka Paul Sebescen, 1914-1988) became famous in the french occult world when he published, in 1964, his famous 'Journal d'un Sorcier' (A Wizard Diary). He was relating in this book his astonishing adventures in Brazil, just after World War II, when he plunged into the world of the 'Quimbanda', the darker side of Macumba.

an excerpt from unfinished novel 'Circe's Island'...


"We are both living inside our two bodies and also far beyond them. We are part of the exuberant nature which surrounds us, of its soothing quiet and also of its sadistic Black Masses. We are ceaselessly changing. Into night-flowers, birds, trails of blood, rags of skin lacerated by razor-blades - now we are hoarse yells, now the murmur of brooks under the moon. Only in our imagination? Where does imagination begin? Where does it end? Is it morbid? Why should we care?"

"The only thing I know for certain: this is eternity. Our sighs are sighed by our innermost life. Our breathing follows the rhythm of permanent orgasm, we are cast in the iron mould of unending lust: ceaselessly ebbing and flowing."

"We are that fabulous being of Plato, with two heads, four arms and four legs."


Hail to thee, oh Whirling Dove!
Hail, oh Woman-Exù!
She is waiting at her crossroads
Doing whatever she wills to do.



* Many thanks to Philippe Pissier for all the above

Unica Zürn ...excerpt from the Man of Jasmine...




Photobucket

Unica Zürn  Berlin - Grunewald 1928



You ghostly gaze! Shy and radiant,
wicked with loneliness and humour; your sombrenes,
seemingly without beginning
and thus without end, shines
through my dream-lit rooms. I ask myself
whether angels might have such eyes?

from The Man of Jasmine

"Thought is the negation of knowledge.
Be thy busyness with action only.
Purge thyself of belief:
live like a tree walking!
Take no thought of good or evil.
Become self-active causality by Unity of thine, I and Self."
-AOS - Aphorism I; The Focus of Life

"Nothing is attained merely by 'wanting'; epistemology, even eschatology will not help,
 not Gods; but-spake Zos- the 'as if' simulations have been prolific as objective realities. Sublimation of all 'reason' to the 'blind'  life-force is the whole of wisdom"

AOS - The Grimoire of Zos
