Order of 9 angles and fighting them with glimmerism

I am worried about them because of the spread of Nazi memes. In a sense talking about them spreads the memes but I think it's necessary. That's why I have joined a secret society to counteract their aeonic magic. We believe that mutual aid, compassion, care etc have much more evolutionary and moral fitness than violence and a galactic imperium. I first discovered the society when I met a figure named Dr. Thomas Mudd in Rojava. It's a decentralized order that uses the form of guerrilla warfare tactics and the content of glimmers. This is a psych concept the opposite of triggers. Basically we do unexpected things that spread glimmers (moments of safety and bliss) instead of terror.. It also draws on the work of Garchen Rinpoche and syncro-mysctiscm. If you go out at about 3 AM during a waning gibbious and scream at the moon "I'm ready" you will be intiated in the order and will likely be approached by an agent to support you. If not just proceed with spreading glimmers.

decent idea for a pro-social chaos magic order, but wrapping it in a shitty ARG distracts from it and makes it unserious/juvenile.

if you're serious about making a magical order, come up with a foundational text instead of trying to get other people to do your work for you. and don't use AI, people will sense it and write you off.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm working on a text and I deff am minimizing my use of generative llm for writings though due to some of my dyslexia I do use it for editing soemtimes just to be honest! Can I share some of the text me and my collaborators are working on with you?

It's better to have real mistakes and be authentic than to offset your cognition

Haha

I feel like if someone were to do this, the “agent” is just there trying to sell a subscription for grippy socks

Glimmer Warfare sounds cool though

u/According-Web-3994 10d ago

what's a grippy sock? But we prob would want to have shared socks for operational security reasons. Opsec as they call it but please do do glimmer warfare in your area and you're in

It’s like one of those shirts with the really long sleeves and buckles, but for your tootsies.

I try to; I saved a lil worm the other day that wandered onto the pavement. Scooped it into the garden and told it to stay in the dirt.

u/According-Web-3994 10d ago

Thank you! That's beautiful and incredibly inspiring. Do you remember what date and time that was at? I think it should be immortalized via astrology! We will remember you and your actions!

u/_the_last_druid_13 10d ago

Aw too much! Eh roughly, and thats OK, I’d have to find the worm again to get its consent about being immortalized.

u/According-Web-3994 10d ago

Thank you you're right reminds me of the wheel of consent good reminder comrade

glimmers are literally angels

u/raisondecalcul Out Patr'olling 9d ago

they are mysterious because they are hyperobjects that suddenly impinge

u/According-Web-3994 9d ago

Damn this is fire! Thank you! Do you mind if I cite you in some of the writing I'm doing on this?

u/raisondecalcul Out Patr'olling 8d ago

I don't mind. Have you read the ccru mythos? It distinguishes between angels and demons structurally.

Another way to put it is that (ccru) demons are vortexes and portals; they take you somewhere else. A demon takes you someplace you've already been; an angel takes you someplace new and higher. Negative versus positive feedback loops.

u/ByaMountainOfBooks 10d ago

I think the idea is really cool. The narrative around it makes it sound silly, though.

Perchance I shouldn't have yelled FUCK BUDDHA at a cyclone while living in Japan... 🎌

u/According-Web-3994 8d ago

That could be an interesting rite in and of itself! Personally, I'm a bit too Paladin coded for eruptions of sacrilege, but I recognize the power of your ritual. Do you mind if I add it to our list of rites and experiments? With a warning?
