DEUTERONOMY 11:18 (Angelology, Amulets)

Image
  For Glaugust : Magic Amulets. Alfred Kubin In his writings, Hierophant Linus delineated two orders of Angels: the Celestial and the Terrestrial . Celestial Angels are powers second only to God, being of the First and Last , emanations of that highest power which ordain and are themselves natural laws. Gravity is one, as are  Friction , Magnetism , and a vast number of other forces. To contact and command them is to put your hand on the sun and meet its gaze. The Hierophant himself didn't dare record what he learned from those he called the  Sons of God . Below them, innumerable and often unseen, are the Terrestrial Angels . Celestials  create the laws; Terrestrials enforce them. When an apple drops from a tree, it is because an Angel has pulled it down. When objects touch, it is Angels which keep them from simply passing through one another. Some scholars have even said that Priests   are themselves a form of Angel, likewise the Saints , in function if not in ...

JOB 41:4 (GLoG monster-as-class: Beithir)

Image
 The  Dragon , hated and hateful thing that it is, occupies a place of power in the mind; it is the ultimate adversary, a challenge which dynasties have proven or ended themselves against. Some would seek to become like them, to consume the enemy and steal its strength- one of many bad ideas. A very long time ago, when there was no one king and many Wizard-Kings did as they saw fit, one of these tyrants got the bright idea to reinvent the dragon; a beast of the Thunder , loyal to its Wise One as the dragons were loyal to theirs, powerful and terrible yet unable to surpass its masters. A cocodril's egg, injected with the blood of a sylph and the semen of the Wizard-King in question, birthed the first of these creatures: the Beithir . Beithir Naturally, like anything ever made by a Wizard, they escaped into the wild. Not only could they breed true, Beithirs could think- and want . They exist in small populations scattered across the world, hidden in wild places or displayed in ...

ACE OF COINS (Morning Stars Treasures)

Image
Some things are valuable for their use. Others, for some unique facet of their very nature. Some are valuable because they are value made material. Here's twenty of them. Bonifacio Bembo Treasures Talents . Massive silver coins the size, shape, and thickness of a dinner plate. A handprint marks the center of the concave side, as if it was pressed into while still soft from the fire. These are said to have been given by the very first Wizard-King  to his favored servants, each one a mark of ascension through the ranks. To possess one of these so many centuries later is to borrow a piece of that original legitimacy.  200 SP  each, or 400 SP to a would-be Wizard-King . Sea-Gold . Pale electrum coins beaten crudely from small nuggets, worked cold; one face is engraved with numerous writhing sea creatures devouring each other, but the other is left blank. These rarely wash up on the shore, or are traded in isolated villages on the western coast; to carry these regularly marks ...

PSALM 116:15 (Saints, Kings of the Days, and More)

Image
Joseph Mallord William Turner  There are numerous powers which observe and rule over the world from on high. The  PRIMEUMATON , PROVIDENCE and DENIAL , is the principle of creation and destruction, ruler of all that is and was; to be made by God is to be of God, and to die is to return to it. The Thunder Over the Mountain  orders the clouds and rain; its crown is the thunderhead, its sword the lightning. The Flesh of Stone  grows hollow organs in the earth; the Blood Stained Dancer reaches her hands into hearts and minds;  Apsinthion , the Bitter Star , brings sickness and health; and the sea, godless, is without order. These many deities, from the almighty First and Last  to the lowly fallen stars, are united by one principle: heaven does not speak, it acts. Who, then, carries down the word of the gods? Their servants, made for this very purpose. For the PRIMEUMATON , these servants are the Saints . (Note: Angels are not servants, but tools. To compare An...
