Let's see how that works. Could add even more.

@HN414

I was once a demonolator and still consider myself a theistic Satanist. 

@HN414 ok; asking! I love the Amarna depictions of the Aten with all the sunbeams ending in hands. Does that sunbeam-hand motif predate atenism, or is it original to that period? Or any suggestions where to look to learn more about the sunbeam hands!

@ouchthats I don't know for sure, need to check my sources which I didn't do yet for a lack of time, but I do remember mentioned somewhere that similar depictions of the sun with sunbeam hands have been created during the reign of Akhenaten's father Amenhotep Nebmaatre. Atenism was not something that came out of nothing, and during his Sed festival celebration Amenhotep already identified himself with the Sun.

Gonna look for sources.

@HN414 - thanks for posting this. I'm curious as to your thoughts on Liber Null and how you compare it to more traditional esoteric work.
The original work of Chaos Magick - Liber Null - Peter J Carroll - The 13th Floor - kbin.social

Found on a university's forgotten server, hidden in a improperly indexed trash folder, I found the complete text of the work that brought Chaos Magick forth into popular consciousness....
