    About this ebook

    An epic poem, which utilizes Kabbalah, astrology, demonology, and Greek mythology to tell a mythology in which the Greek gods transform into Hebrew demonic counterparts: Zeus into Baal, Cronus into Moloch, Uranus into Belial, Hades into Beelzebub, Poseidon into Leviathan, Persephone into Nahema, Typhon into Satan, and many more, including the Qliphoth. Drawing from actual demonology, this epic poem alludes to taboos behind ancient mythology and how it related to slavery and mind control in ancient times.

      For all the victims of demonic possession,

      "For the Gods we know not of, who give us our daily breath,

      We know they are cruel as love or life, and lovely as death."

      - Hymn to Proserpine by Algernon Charles Swinburne

      The Sun Signs

      1:1

      The sun in Aries begets kingdom from knot,

      Chaos twisted over den of hellfire's light,

      Forming beam between two points, radial shot

      Through prism to triangle, shining from height.

      As ganglionic masses, stars obtain

      Fleshly spirit, casting off shells, shedding

      Putrefaction, tethered in twine with stain

      And Chaos spews anarchic seed, descending.

      Gaia's diameter spins, forming sphere

      For Uranus, expanding against limit,

      To drink milk of her breasts, becoming seer,

      Foreseeing foreordained fate, pyre ever lit.

      Self aware and doomed, he prepares for the end,

      Fathering eighteen children, Gaia's bane

      And he needs more, but weary of birth, bend

      Occurs in mother, calling for sons to reign.

      Cronus answers her summoning and takes

      A golden sickle, to sever father's lust,

      Ascending nascent from abyssal lakes,

      To neuter the dam, releasing blood to dust.

      Blood floods the earth, fertilizing the dirt,

      Generating offspring thick with matter,

      The Erinyes, Nymphs, and Giants that spurt

      From crevice volcanic, raising disaster.

      Uranus assumes appelation, wicked,

      Of Belial from Chaos as devoid

      And Gaia with Eros forms contending head

      Of Thomiel from Chaos as void.

      1:2

      The sun in Taurus begets prophecy

      As hierophant predicts judgement day

      For them both, when third shall topple throne for fee

      To fourth, swallowing all creation's foray.

      Cronus casts Belial from expanse steep

      To the island, destined to collapse inward,

      And binds Thomiel over brothers deep,

      Pontus, Oceanus as Abyss under bird.

      Cronus marries Rhea, abyssal action,

      As sire swallows children, not allowing souls,

      And restricts genesis with refraction

      Of birth in stomach for baleful black holes.

      The vortexes sink to pockets, spiral,

      Draining space from universe, increate,

      For containment of time, tyrannical,

      Levy holding back prophecy of hate.

      Belial feels Thomiel as waves

      Of movement and contending head separates,

      For Cronus, reigning kingship as Moloch caves

      Of Erebus in Rhea, conceiving gates.

      Belial veils Rhea as Adramoloch,

      As Moloch fills the swelling with black holes,

      To feed Erebus as Ogiel and block

      Abyss and Nyx' Satariel set coals.

      1:3

      The sun in Gemini begets child in womb

      Of Adramoloch, who fears for offspring,

      Destined by Moloch to abyssal doom,

      To ward off the fate of usurping king.

      Adramoloch, with help of Thomiel

      And Belial, wraps rocks in swaddling clothes,

      To delude Moloch with neutral as bale

      And cast tyrant to Tartarus with foes.

      By Amalthea, the child Zeus is raised,

      Surrounded by Curetes' song and dance,

      To conceal wailing of sky child appraised,

      As destined to conquer with lightning's lance.

      Outside the cave in a grove, Zeus encounters

      Amalthea's brother Pan, who bestows

      His shed horn of cornucopia, which stirs

      Gluttony of sister killed, as food rose.

      From skin of slain, Zeus obtains Aegis shield

      And Pan consumes the skinless corpse for might,

      As Baphometh, flute's delirium to wield

      On Curetes as Tzalalimiron's fight.

      Zeus, intoxicated by delirium

      And clanging, is left stupefied in cave,

      Until Moloch sends Python to fill numb

      With poison and crush godhead under stave.

      The threat of Python as Samael wakens

      The awareness of Zeus as Baal, lord

      Over beasts in depths and clangers in dens,

      To usurp lordship over father's cord.

      1:4

      The sun in Cancer begets sage advice

      Of
