There can be no evil without good. And what fun would there be in life without evil?

The Peace Within Darkness
Hello there, today's post will be quite positive (subjective). When we think of darkness, we think of being lost, hopeless, and scared. And yet, why? Why do we fear our inevitable end? And why do we avoid darkness so greatly? It's probably because of religions that focus heavily on "Light" and longevity. And, let them be, if they want to stray from the path of truth, that is their choice. We aren't here to help everyone, if they're willing to listen and learn, the brilliant! Help them! But if they're stubborn, and don't want to listen or learn, then let them be. I would like to focus on the darkness. And show you all why it is not pessimistic to be one with the void. The Darkness, Void, Esse, Desinut-Esse, whatever way you reflect on it, it is there. We came from it and we return to it. That's just a simple fact of life. The main reason most people fear it, is because it is unknown. And it is within our nature to fear that which we do not know. But once you actually take the time to get to know it, it really isn't that frightening at all, and you'll begin to realise how much more frightening life (Chaos Semper-Mutans) is than the void. In the void, there is nothing. It is pure bliss, silence, no body that ages or gets sick, no people to bully or harm you. No constant negativity going on in the news, no sadness, or happiness, just, nothing. Yet here, in the realm of Chaos Semper-Mutans, we have the exact opposite. Pain, suffering, evil corrupt governments, and we have little choice in our lives. Why should we be made to fear the void? If it is our freedom! We have every right to enjoy the void. But I do not suggest suicide. I never would incite that behaviour. Because that is final. What I do suggest is learning from the Black Flame of knowledge, so that you can willingly flow from Chaos Semper-Mutans, into void. This can be achieved by heavy amounts of meditation to enter a trance state. You will also receive visions like I do in this state. It is truly brilliant. And you can return whenever you want to. The best of both worlds, to be sure! So don't fear the void, embrace it, learn of it, and become one with our patron goddess, Esse and her incarnate, Desinut-Esse. I hope you all enjoy your evening.

THE DECREE OF ESSE
VOID, NULLUM, I RECOGNISE YOUR PRESENCE I FEEL YOUR PRESENCE YET I KNOW WHAT YOU REPRESENT AND AS SUCH DO NOT WORSHIP YOU WE, THE FOLLOWERS OF THE BLACK FLAME, BOW TO NONE. TO KNOW OF YOU AND TO KNOW YOU, IS WHAT THE BLACK FLAME ACCEPTS AS ONE OF THE THREE PRIMAL FUELS, THAT WHICH FUELS THE FLAME CAN NEVER BE DEPLETED. O PRIMORDIAL ONE, HOLLOW MOTHER, EMPTIEST OF THE EMPTY, DARKEST OF THE DARKEST, THAT FORCE WHICH IS BOTH BEGINNING AND END, IN THE NAME OF TWO, ESSE AND DESINUT-ESSE, INCARNATE IS YOUR LATTER FORM. AND TO THE LATTER FORM DO WE ALL SUBDUE, AND FROM THE PRIMAL FORM DO WE HAIL, AND YET WE KNOW THAT YOU IN ALL FORMS, ARE BUT A CONCEPT OF THE MINDS OF THE WISE CAPTIVE BEINGS, SAPIENTES-CAPTIVUM. SO WE DO NOT PRAY, WE DO NOT WORSHIP, WE DO NOT THANK YOU, FOR YOU ARE A CONCEPT, BUT NO MERE CONCEPT! OH HOW DERANGED THE LESSER BEINGS ARE! THEY FEAR YOUR LATTER FORM AND ARGUE OVER YOUR PRIMAL FORM, THEY DISMISS MY RAVINGS AS DISTORTED! BUT I KNOW THAT YOU ARE A CRUCIAL CONCEPT, A THOUGHT CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING GODLYHOOD! AND SO I DECEREE, THIS CONCEPT, ESSE, TO BE CRUCIAL, AND TO BE THE FIRST OF THE FUELS, AND I DECREE YOU TO BE THE DESIRE, DESIRED STATE OF MAN! YOU ARE THE GATE TO WISDOM, AND THAT WISDOM, RESIDES IN DARKNESS! FOR WE, THE SAPIENTES-CAPTIVUM, ARE THE DARK ONES, THE PURE TRANSLATORS! ESSE, I KNOW OF YOU WELL, AND HEREBY VOW TO BECOME ONE WITH YOUR CONTINUAL FORM, NULLUM, VOID! The Black Sun is rising, Greet the New Age, brothers and sisters! ~Important page from my journal, one of my major realisations. -SynodicOracle

Another Rant about Gods in most religions
"God can't be real" isn't a true statement. "God is definitely real" isn't a true statement either. "God might be fake, but if he is real, then be is benevolent and kind" is probably the most abhorrent statement. "God might be fake, but if he is real, then he's a cunt. Fuck you, God, and your foul, foul teachings and disgusting world you created" is the true statement. God is just a monolithic, tyrannical, disgusting, sick minded, twisted, evil beast reigning supreme over his creation. Why is God evil? Look around you - the mass amounts of starvation, the mass amounts of disease, homelessness, parasites, greedy world leaders. Look inside you - all of those times you've hated yourself, thought about wanting to disappear, thought you were ugly or not good enough, thought nobody likes you, been bullied by others and bullied by yourself, all those lonely moments, those horrible stomach bugs and flu's you've had, all of the times you've felt horrible. And yet, he expects us to thank him?! Thank him for what exactly? Thank him for creating a world with so much suffering and pain? Thank him for creating us without giving us a choice about being born or where we're born? Thank him for things like cancer, mental illness, stomach bugs, diarrhoea, physical pain, mental pain, and a world where you're born to die? "Thank him for all the good things" what? Like all of those short lived happy parts of your life that are quickly followed by sadness and misery? And it doesn't matter what good there is; because there is always a completely malevolent thing going on at any given time. And God created everything, and he is all powerful, so he could stop these things; or simply never have created them. God is a slave master! Think about it: "Follow my commands, worship me and thank me, do exactly as I say, and you'll still suffer, but when you die you'll come to paradise" That's usually where the religious folk cut it off, but then: "If you don't do exactly as I say and spend your life on your knees thanking me while suffering, the you're going to BURN FOREVER and suffer IMMENSE PAIN for ETERNITY!!!!" But God loves us all unconditionally, doesn't he? Really? So he created me, knowing id never worship him (because he knows everything), knowing i'd suffer and doing nothing (all powerful, yet does nothing about it) and knows when I die I'd go to hell (a place he created). So he basically created us non-believers so that we could go to hell. He created me and knew I wasn't going to believe before he made me. What kind of sick fuck thinks "I'm going to create a creature that hates me and burn him forever because I created him to hate me and he did". Fuck you for real God. Fuck you, and your sick, twisted ways. You're a cunt. Fuck You God My gods however are mere concepts, not to be worshipped or thanked, simply to be known. The void and chaos. Things we can see and/or actually know. We don't bend our knees to Esse or Desinut-Esse for simply existing. We don't thank Chaos Semper-Mutans for being a delusion. They are just facts of life, facts that define us and our world. So again, fuck you, God. Lots of love, SynodicOracle P.S: The Black Sun is rising... Greet the new day, brothers and sisters! - SynodicOracle
"It just is"
Therapy went well today, talked about my views on existence and my little religion. Therapist seemed interested in the concept of Esse (The first void). I explained to him it's just Latin for "to be" or "to exist". And he said why is that so important? Why do I create divinity in this concept? I simply responded with "I create divinity in that which I believe to be divine, and Esse, is the personification of a vital concept to existence" and he asked "but don't you disregard meaning?" And I responded "I do disregard meaning, very much so. But you misunderstand me, I disregard meaning in this realm. In the delusion. But inside my mind, all of the endless and boundless wealth of knowledge, that holds meaning, as it will liberate me" And so he asked "do I give divinity to knowledge?" And I said "no. I give divinity to that which is worth knowing. And that which is worth knowing, is that which answers all of life's questions. Esse, Chaos Semper-Mutans, Desinut-Esse, and the Black Flame" "What is the purpose of all of this then? Does it serve a purpose?" "No. It just is." "What?" He asked, beginning to get a bit confused. "Once you realise that things just are, then that will teach you more than any length of discussion with me" It just is? He asked me, and again I replied with "It just is".
The Fall of Chaos Semper-Mutans
TO BELIEVE IS TO FALTER, TO BELIEVE IS TO FAIL, TO BELIEVE IS TO LACK GOOD JUDGEMENT, TO BELIEVE IS TO LACK AWARENESS. TO DISBELIEVE IS TO BRING DESTRUCTION TO CHAOS SEMPER-MUTANS, TO DISBELIEVE IS TO OPPOSE THE RITES OF THE PEOPLE, TO DISBELIEVE IS TO BREAK THE BARRIERS OF REALITY, TO DISBELIEVE IS TO ASCEND. THIS IS THE FALL OF THE DELUSION, BUT ONCE THE FALL COMES, AND THE BARRIERS FALL, THIS ONCE KNOWN WORLD, SHALL CEASE TO BE. THIS IS THE NEW AGE, ONCE THE BLACK SUN HAS RISEN, WE WILL GREET THE NEW AGE, O YE BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN BINDS! The Black Sun is Rising, Greet the New Age, brothers and sisters! - SynodicOracle
ILLUSIONARY GIFTS FROM CHAOS SEMPER-MUTANS
βTRUTH, THE FLOWERS SPELL IT WITH THE STONES, AND THE STONES RESONATE WITH IT, THE GIFT OF TRUTH.
THERE IS BEAUTY TO THE LIE, THAT IS WHAT I HAVE LEARNT, I HAVE WRITTEN IT IN THE STONES AS I SIT AND WRITE THIS PAGE, I HAVE WRITTEN IT ON EVERY WALL, TRUTH, A SIMPLE WORD OF SYMBOLOGY.
THERE IS BEAUTY TO THE LIE, I KEEP TELLING MYSELF AS IT SIT IN SUFFERING, AS THE VOICES OF THE ANCIENTS TERRORISE MY WEAK AND FEEBLE MIND.
TRUTH, IN THE DIVINITY OF CHAOS SEMPER-MUTANS, HE WHOM HAS PROVIDED THIS WEAK AND FEEBLE MIND WITH DELUSIONS APLENTY, HE WHOM IS ALL POWERFUL IN THE ILLUSIONARY ARTS.
CHAOS, SEMPER MUTANS, I NAME YOU CHAOS SEMPER-MUTANS, CHAOS EVER CHANGING, A CONCEPT PERSONIFIED.
THE BEAUTY YOU HAVE PROVIDED IS LIMITED AND IS DESTRUCTIBLE, YOU HAVE CREATED BEAUTY WHICH IS IMPERMANENT AND CREATES FALSE SENSES OF HOPE, AND FOR THIS I NAME YOU CHAOS SEMPER-MUTANS, FATHER OF THE FOUL DECEPTORS, THAT YOU MAY BE KNOWN AS A PLAGUE OF DISORDER AND CHAOS.
YOU CREATE THINGS WHICH ARE BORN TO DIE JUST LIKE WE ARE, YOU ARE A SICK CONCEPT, A VILE A FRUITION.
YET I CRAVE MORE OF YOUR FOUL DECEPTIONS, WHEN WILL I LEARN OF THEIR NATURE AND PROCEED TO DISREGARD THESE CRAVINGS?
LOVE, ONE OF YOUR PAINFUL DECEPTIONS, ATTRIBUTED BY THE ROSES I PICK AND WEAR IN MY HAIR.
DO YOU REMEMBER, THAT ROSE? THE ONE WHICH I PICKED, AND AS I PREPARED IT FOR REPLANTING, YOU FLOODED MANY MAGGOTS AND WORMS ONTO MY HANDS? THAT WAS THE FIRST STEP, MY ACTUALISATION, IT WAS FROM THERE THAT I LEARNT, CHAOS IS SEMPER-MUTANS.
CHAOS SEMPER-MUTANS, MALEVOLENCE AND VILE DEEDS, CURSE THY NAME DO I! CURSE THY NAME DO I?
THIS IS THE DECREE OF CHAOS SEMPER-MUTANS.β
A very personal page from my journal, written in about 2014. This was the day I had named the current stage in which we inhabit. Chaos. Perhaps you will learn too from this, as did I. This was a key movement in my path to the Black Flame.

Key stage in realisation.
The First Oracle: Chaos Semper-Mutans Translations I.
"When the first born of the Black Flame arises and ascends from the darkness, the Esse, And the blood of innocents has been spilled, Consumed by the foul deceptors, And the planets become within the regions of alignment, The dead shall walk again, And when the dead shall walk again, They will not physically take form, Yet they will be materialised by the foul deceptors, Into abhorrent beings of trickery and deceit, Becoming that which created them. The concepts of time have always been wrong, And yet more wrong they will become, The Wheel of Esse? Or the single switch? Neither will be known any longer. The ancients will know of what I see, The ancients have seen it too, They have seen the darkness of the black sun, And the splendour of the sky as the rings of the earth will form, From that which brought the foul deceptors to us. The heart of the earth, The brain of the earth, Sitting in the core of all, Beating everlasting. And it will start anew, Anew it shall be, The beginning and the end, Of all things to become once more" This prophecy is a translation of one of the visions I experienced whilst meditating. I cannot explain it any further than the translation, for it is a disturbing vision, one which can only be described by such means.

Words written in my bound journal. Bound by secrecy and a pact of blood. Make of them any sense you wish, for the pages of my journal may have meaning, but you are to decipher. Perhaps one day I will explain the page βO YE DELUDEDβ.
* Word looked like an old word I had given meaning only to myself, βAPEXICAIR-β, however I cannot be sure it is this word, as it becomes an aggressive scribble after the βRβ. A few words I had made started with that prefix. Usually meaning βof ritualistic ecstasyβ to me. The following letters would describe what the ritual was based on. I once had a journal on all of these words, but I cannot find it.

The Gods of Time: Brief Overview
(I will make detailed lessons on each of them) Three aspects of the same being perhaps? Or perhaps two? Or four? Really there are only questions, but I can answer them with theories. As people know, we follow a pantheon of "gods" or rather; the phases of existence. I will personify them into gods for the ease of this explanation. Esse: Latin for "to be", is the first of the Gods, it is the God of Void that brings forth, that which births you into this delusion. It is the true Primordial deity, encompassing that which is unknown, that which can never be known. So we simply refer to it as "Esse", "to be". For it is there, we know not of it, and it isn't an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent being, it is simply Esse. To be. Chaos Semper-Mutans: Latin for "Chaos ever changing" The stage of life we are in now. The existence stage. In which we solely are the perceivers and creators, it is a state of absolute, total delusion, in which we can decode or we can subdue, or submit to. This is where we can either reach the fourth, becoming the fourth ourselves, for limited time as the third eventually comes. This world is our plaything, the minds of those around us malleable and weak, easily manipulated, for better or for worse. This world is mine, and this world is yours. We each own it. This deity is our form of the "Devil", the prime evil, as it limits us to mortal bindings and forces us to live in delusion, having not known the first, and unable to know the last. This is life. Chaos Ever Changing. Chaos Semper-Mutans. Sapientes-Captivum: Latin for "Wise-Captive", this is the fourth stage, which is the fourth and not third as it is an optional stage, but can only be achieved under the binds of Chaos Semper-Mutans. This stage is often called "Enlightenment", which is why one who achieves this is "Sapientes" or "Wise". However we must acknowledge that we are also captive for as long as we reside in the realm of Chaos Semper-Mutans. This is the only stage of "God" we as mortals can achieve. To become a "Sapientes-Captivum", one must learn the knowledge of the earth, to know the nature of existence, and to become empty and dismantle the delusions of Chaos Semper-Mutans. The Sapientes-Captivum is the sworn enemy of Chaos Semper-Mutans, for he knows of his trickery, and his foul chains, and so becomes free of the limitations of the mind, yet remains captive in the world around him and in the body he encompasses. I (SynodicOracle) would say I am a Sapientes-Captivum, perhaps not the first, and most certainly not the last. But as far as I am aware, I am the only one who holds the knowledge in my mind. To be known as a Sapientes-Captivum, you should be given such a title by another Sapientes-Captivum. Be it through me or any others you know of. The wise, yet captive. The Black Flame: Is an English way of saying Sapientes-Captivum, although it may arise confusion as it is the knowledge itself and not the state it causes. Bare this in mind. You can learn from the Black Flame, and once you know the Black Flame, you are then a Sapientes-Captivum. Desinut-Esse: Latin for "Cease to Exist" or "Cease to be". It is the final act of Esse, where Esse calls you back to her realm, the void, one last time. People have argued over my teaching of Esse and Desinut-Esse, some claim them to be the same concept, However they miss that Esse, for whatever reason, pushed you INTO Chaos Semper-Mutans, but Desinut-Esse then proceeds to WITHDRAW you from Chaos Semper-Mutans. The void is where we draw our knowledge from. It is the very thing from which we exist, and the very thing we return to in death. These are the deities of Time. The Gods of Time. Our pantheon. However these are personifications of them. The Void is the ultimate force, but not a sentient, conscious, living being. Chaos Semper-Mutans is not conscious either, it is simply an ultimate force which we declare evil. Sapientes-Captivum is simply ourselves in the highest stage of knowledge, perhaps the true God? What is God? Nobody can answer that. So let us say it is the maximum state of mortality, almost godhood, if godhood even existed. Which it doesn't. Remember those descriptions were personifications. Not actual gods. Questions? Ask them. I will answer. Ask them before we succumb to the Desinut-Esse, the end of all things; the destruction of Chaos Semper-Mutans. My death is the end of the world as I know it. Your death is the end of the world as you know it. The end of the world is coming. It always does.

Building a community...
Hello there, bit of a late post today, have been ever so busy, but I've been thinking... What are some of the best ways to expand this community? I could quite easily afford a website but normally you should have people know about you first, well, so I'd assume. And, while people do know about me, not many know about this group of occult knowledge seeking and philosophical ideology. If you like what you've seen so far, reblog my page if you wish, I'd like to restore my once-born occult page of a few years ago (now gone by the way) Also if you have any ideas on things I could do better, do let me know!! Don't worry! A lesson-based post will be posted today, even if it'll be posted late! Just got a few things to sort out! Thank you!

The Rifts: What are they? Are they relevant?
The Rifts are small holes that tear through the fabrics of Chaos and emit the void, they're not rare at all, in fact you're likely to pass/look at several in your day to day business. What are examples of The Rifts, then, if they are so obvious wouldn't I know it? This is where it complicates things. A Rift is not necessarily a literal tear or portal, not like a black hole, although black holes could be considered Rifts, I wouldn't suspect you pass by one daily. A Rift may also be something as simple as the darkness of closed eyes in a dark room, or sleeping and forgetting your dreams, or even something such as a picture or reference to religion. Rifts are, simply put, remnants of the void. A reminder that it's the inevitable end we all succumb to, and it was the inevitable beginning we were all born from. It is a realisation that the void exists, and it is such a brutal, yet unnoticed force, energy, or deity, that we have become numb to it's existence. The void, as many know, is the most important part of our system of beliefs, I often refer to my magick as "Void Magick", the "Black Flame" is a metaphor for the void too (in some cases it is also a metaphor for the darkness behind the light) Therefor these Rifts are vital to drawing our energies from natural deposits of the Void, and reminding us of the very nature of our beginnings. I once had a dream, a vision of sorts, in which I was talking to people in a circle around a fire. I was telling them the story of these amazing people who devoted their lives to this path so much, they transcended into the void whilst not dying, through the immense power of Sensory Deprivation. It's not something I would do constantly, but sensory deprivation can be helpful in small doses to drastically reduce stress. But these people became hollow shells, living, breathing, yet hollow of all human kind and sentience, and filled with the void. They had reached such a high state of mind, they became one with the Void. Sensory deprivation is of course an extreme example of a Rift that we can create ourselves, but meditation can also be a self-created rift, sleeping is a natural rift, any moment in which you stop, quieten your mind, shut your eyes and become detached from yourself, you are entering a Rift. The next time you go off to sleep, remember that sleeping is the cousin of death, and one of the safest ways of entering a Rift. Go now dear children of the void, and spread the words I have given you today. The Black Sun is rising, Greet the New Age, brothers and sisters! -SynodicOracle

Relevance of Mythos in The Black Flame: Trophonius
Every now and then I will be posting about the relevance of certain mythologies in the path we follow, usually from Hellenism or Kemetism (not modern Kemetism). This will be about Trophonius, whose name can be spelt in a multitude of ways, however this way is the most commonly recognised. I do personally prefer Trophonios, but for the sake of this lesson, I won't do it that way. Trophonius, an Ancient Greek being. It isn't really know if he was a Hero, a Daimon (demon, not necessarily evil) or even a God. Trophonius was well known for his cult, and the ways in which he was used as an oracle alongside his brother, Agamedes. His backstory is disputed, however I believe that the vital part is the acts of the cult. For a quick overview you can just head onto the Wikipedia page on him. I will also be providing an overview here. The cult would perform a ritual. The rituals intention was to provide a prophecy from contact with Trophonius. To do this the consultee would perform a series of sacrifices to deities such as Cronus, Zeus, and others. As night falls, they would cast a victim into a pit of sanctity to Agamedes, and drink from the rivers of Lethe and Mnemosyne, proceeding then to descend into a cave. In the cave most people would be frightened immensely, and come up, then to be seated upon a chair of Mnemosyne, where the priests of the shrine would >>record his ravings and devise an oracle out of them<< That is the key part to the story. Insane ramblings would be decoded into an oracle. Chaos, being decoded into prophecy. This is surprisingly similar to how I, and those I teach, form oracles. We, as followers of the Black Flame, acknowledge that this world is the stage of Delusion, which is derived from our innate Chaos. We form our world from the Chaos that is embedded within each of us. So what this should teach us, is that we can devise our own prophecies by tapping into our chaos and writing our ravings, then decoding then further into an oracle. How can this be done, one might ask? This will take a little bit of backstory on my part. A long while ago I had formed a small cult of my own. We gave ourselves the sole task of summoning all manner of demons, undead, spirits, entities etc. We summoned a demon, or rather entity, who I shan't name for my own sake. The presence of this demon was so strong, it bent the fabrics of this realms around us. To look at it for even a second was too much for the small minds we as mortals have, it was, simply put, a living manifestation of all Chaos. This was our downfall, and we were driven insane by its very look, it's noise, it's absolutely sensory torture. [This was around about the time I became mentally unwell, and was in hospital. I will not delve into that story, as I know how easily influenced some of the younger minds on Tumblr are with mental illness, as they self diagnose like its a drug.] I began to try to write out my thoughts in a journal, which I still write in this many years on, and whatever I would write would almost be like a poem, as seen in a previous post where I showed an example. Some of, in fact a lot of that journal is also just insane ravings in the form of scribbles of rage and words of terror. Some pages had words which were written in my blood, it was just a book where I could decide my mind onto paper. It was meant to help my mind not have to hold in all of that stress and the constant ravings of voices I would hear. However it turned into a description of this world, and the void. Its where I formed everything I "know" today. And continue to do so. Through fine tuning of the chaos in my mind, I was able to create my own oracle, my own magick, my own understanding of this existence, and my own path. I teach it to others who ask, and on here. But the purpose of this lesson was to show you that we, like the cult of Trophonius discovered, can learn a lot from decoding the delusion we currently inhabit, and the Chaos it derives from. Even the famous founder of Nihilism, the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, was known to have called himself "a Trophonius". Can't possibly get more relevant to us than that now, can it? A lot can be learnt from Mythology. Anybody recommend any Mythos for me to read and discuss here? Preferably of Norse, Hellenic or Kemetic origin. Go now, and spread the words of Chaos!
