The Abbey of Serpentis, Part 2: The Morris Disks

Hello, everyone. Qom here. I'm back to continue my reports on the so-called "Abbey of Serpentis" that I started describing in the previous post. You'll remember that I mentioned that one of A.S.'s relatives, who goes to the UMN Morris campus which is not far from here, mentioned briefly to one or more of us that floppy disks were being planted around the school grounds--supposedly by the Serpentis cult. A.S.'s relative managed to contact the people who recovered these disks, and he sent the data off to us all a few hours ago. What resulted is pretty weird, I gotta say. There were five disks in all, each containing several image files and one text file. I'll post the contents here in order. Because some of these images are a little disturbing, I'm going to put a jump in and give a shock warning. Don't worry, there isn't any gore, they just might trigger a few people due to their unsettling nature. So. More after the jump.



Disk 1:






Text:
Performance is Roeg and Cammell's masterpiece, and ultimately the key to understanding Cammell's mysterious death by
gunshot wound--an act of performance art in and of itself, wherein Cammell supposedly watched himself die in a mirror,
while asking his wife if she could see the Marian apparition of Borges within his skull. In the film, Mick Jagger plays
the odd musician Turner, who is nearly Jagger himself, had the Rolling Stones burnt out circa 1969. Turner is possibly
mentally ill and possibly an occultist. Throughout the film, evidence of the magical skills of Turner and his paramour,
Pherber, are on display. Most telling is their mastery over a variety of tropes pertaining to transgender status, something
hinted at in the works of Crowley and others. It is through both this particular brand of sex magick, as well as
psychedelic drugs, that the pair attempt to fuse Turner's persona with that of Chas, a low-end London thug working for the
homosexual gang boss Harry Flowers. The results are spectacular and a testament to a true theory of magic grounded in the
ancient concept of bardic performance.

Technology has brought us to an age beyond what Tom Pettitt calls the "Gutenberg Parenthesis" (Pettitt, "Before the
Gutenberg Parenthesis: Elizabethan-American Compatibilties"). In this time of second orality (a term borrowed from
Walter J. Ong's 1982 book, "Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing of the Word"), rising changes in media and art
bring us closer to a new sense of mythos--for it is in the folk interpretation and construction of both media and art
that legendia are created. The considerable enhancement of access to publicized bardic feats (see Disk 1: Prelude)
contributes to the generation of deliberate falsehood that, through a variety of mystic processes, transforms into
elevated folk culture. The tropes expressed within these distributed culture-packets provide the grounding for any number
of rituals and spells carried out by the various self-aware post-postmodern cults that ####### ##### ##### #### ##

Rowling derives her fantasy word, "horcrux", from the French words "dehors" (outside) and "crux" (soul). In essence, it is
a reference to the notion of the storage of one's soul outside one's body. This concept is a popular one in history, dating
back to ancient times; indeed, as far back as the mythological and archetypical Russian figure Koschei the Deathless,
humanity has seen countless legends of sorcerers imprisoning their hearts, souls, breath, ka, or spirit within an object
with the intent of obtaining mortality. This task is in fact a baseline version of an extraordinarily powerful spell that
can generate both overt and subtle bindings of immortal being to the user. While a sorcerer may bind her spirit to an
object such as a book, a stone, or a computer disk, experienced and talented users can indulge what is called the
"Mocatan ritual", resulting in the creation of homunculi in the witch's image. This express use is described in Jadran
Mocata's book "Double or Nothing", which secures his place in the annal# of the #r#er of ###pentis#########################################################################################################################################

Text:
The Greeks often had difficulty applying numbers to the Muses. In general, this is logical, given the expansion of art that
occurred between the first contact with the Muses and the time of the passing of the edicts of Constantine, which
resulted in the Muse's appearances in art being confined to neoclassical (i.e. non-worshipping) contexts. Originally,
it was assumed that there were merely three, and that they were linked to the classical element of water.
Modern attempts at quantifying the Muses have proven to be nearly impossible given the changes, both forwards
and backwards, affecting art, since the days in which the Muses were genuinely worshipped. However, many generally
accept the commonly recognized number of Nine when it comes to enumerating these spirits. Some have linked eight
of the Nine classical Muses to the "new" versions of the Greek goddesses and gods, as interpreted by some fringe
post-postmodern cults. (Including the #yste#ious gr#up kn##n as the "Order of Serpentis".) These entities include Alnep,
Nov'tye, Nl'xe, Oynos (whose name means EYE), Epebai, Neu'aypa, Ypahvye, and Kurq'wes.* The cults that worship these beings,
according to a report by the Urdellville Daily Times (which was able to contact the cults due to its small town status, via
the Supernatural Uncertainty Principle derived by Derrida associate Y. Redford), take objection to the classical view of
the Muses as entirely passive entities. Group officials have instead chosen to refer to the Muses as chiefly active
forces, to whom "we" (the artists) are comparatively passive. This idea is grounded on the notion of femininity being
a creative aspect, one which is raw and deeply transcendent, of which art is an imitation. Art, being a mortal concept, is
inherently passive, though its energetic power is real; it is the materialism of mortality that prevents the genuinely
active aspect of creativity and imagination from manifesting in the material world. These groups go on to insist that
art is not a false ideal in this respect, but rather the only true connection to the divine that "we" really have. The
Muses, thus, are wonder-beings that travel in time and space, whom we can observe only by their trails in the psychic
world. It is the goal of the true philosopher to seek the objectives of the Muses, and thus PEER into the mouth of Chaos.

* The only classical Muse who exists sans analogue in the "new" pantheon is Clio, who is generally linked with feminine
(i.e. true) aspects of God, including Shekinah, Saklas, and Epona. It is unknown at this time how these cults account
for rumors of a Tenth Muse.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've talked it over with everyone in the Inner Circle and I don't know what this means. Marcel thinks it's a hoax, Garry thinks it's a legit cult, A.S. is too wrapped up in the joy of creepiness to say anything, and Derek thinks it's a bunch of fuckin' hipsters.

If you have any idea what this could be about, or if you have any information on these disks, please leave a comment below.
