  • Shadow of the Demon Lord: Mortals of Urth by Iganon
    Shadow of the Demon Lord: Mortals of Urth By IGanon In the beginning, there was God, all-powerful, infinite, and alone. Craving companionship, God spoke the first words of power and created the Demiurge and was satisfied. The Demiurge, an extension of God, begun to crave more and more, and so spoke the words of power to create millions of genies from its own body. These genies in turn spoke the words of power and plundered the body of God to create worlds and stars without number, creating an entire multiverse. Yet the more the genies took from God, the more God diminished, and what was once all-powerful, and infinite grew weak and limited, having both substance and form stolen. Not content with stealing from God, the genies stole from the Demiurge too, taking so much the Demiurge split into innumerable fragments. The Divine, reduced to little more than a creature of spite and hatred, was reduced to a mad thing lurking in the void between universes, left only with spite, hatred and the insane craving to undo everything that had been done. It was God no longer, now it is the Demon Lord. The innumerable fragments of what once was the Demiurge, still an extension of the Demon Lord, became the first demons, flitting from world to world, wreaking havoc and devastation and preparing each world for the arrival of the Hunger in the Void, the Demon Lord. The universe that contains the planet Urth, this reality, is the latest one to fall under the Shadow of the Demon Lord.

  • Kwan ˘Um (Avalokitesvara) Divination
    religions Article Kwanum˘ (Avalokite´svara)Divination: Buddhist Reconciliation with Confucianism in the Late Choson˘ Seong U. K. Kim Department of East Asian Languages & Cultures, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, USA; [email protected] Received: 8 April 2020; Accepted: 19 April 2020; Published: 22 April 2020 Abstract: This paper looks at the interactions between Buddhism and Confucianism in the late Choson˘ era through a case study of Kwanum˘ (Avalokite´svara)divination and, thereby, attempts to demonstrate how Buddhist monks navigated their religion in a Confucian-dominant society. In particular, it discusses how Choson˘ Buddhist monks incorporated Confucian ethical values into the practice of Avalokite´svaradivination, which developed in the late Choson˘ era, based on the Kwanum˘ yonggwa˘ , the first Korean Buddhist manual for Avalokite´svaradivination. The unique amalgam of the Avalokite´svaracult and divination practices became popular in this period by embracing the fulfillment of the Confucian duty of filial piety and sincerity as its essential element. In particular, the Confucian practice served as a deciding factor to receive the bodhisattva’s blessings in this divination. The introduction of Avalokite´svaradivination, therefore, reveals another strategy of the Buddhist community to demonstrate its devotion by incorporating the ideology of the Confucian ruling class in the late Choson˘ era. Keywords: Choson˘ Buddhism; Kwanum˘ (Avalokite´svara) divination; Kwanum˘ yonggwa˘ ; Buddhist–Confucian relationship 1. Introduction Avalokite´svaradivination is a unique combination of the Avalokite´svaracult and divination. It became popular in the late Choson˘ era, the last dynasty of Korea, when both the Avalokite´svaracult and divination flourished. Influenced by its Chinese counterparts, the two latter practices developed in Korea around or even before the period of the three kingdoms.

It remains omnipresent in contemporary western societies, even though it may seem that the issue of collective and individual “fate” or “destiny” and the quest for strategies to cope with them is no longer a current topic in the Humanities in the West. Terms such as “trust” or “risk” have replaced traditional reflections on fate, and prediction – in the sense of “forecast” – is only accepted within the bounds of acknowledged “scientific” parameters. Western civilizations are interpreted as “societies of contingency” (Greven 2000) and the structures of contemporary worldviews are seen to operate along the lines of a “logic of uncertainty” (Gamm 1994), with forms of life determined by ambivalence. However, these diagnostic theories often tend to ignore the existence of entire civilizations that have dealt with the European Enlightenment in their own modern ways by preserving and modifying their views of individual and collective destiny.

  • The Conjuration of the Four Elements, by Eliphas Levi
    The Conjuration of the Four Elements, by Eliphas Levi. The four elementary forms separate and specify by a kind of rough outline, the created spirits whom the universal movement disengages from the central fire. Everywhere spirit works and fecundates matter by life; all matter is animated; thought and soul are everywhere. In seizing upon the thought that produces the diverse forms, we become the master of forms and make them serve for our use. The astral light is completely filled with souls that it disengages in the incessant generation of being; souls have imperfect wills which can be dominated and used by more powerful wills. They then form great invisible chains, and can occasion or determine grand elementary commotions. Phenomena ascertained in the processes of magic and all those recently verified by M. Eudes de Merville have no other causes. Elementary spirits are like young children. They torment those more who busy themselves with them, unless one has control of them by means of superior rationality and great severity. These are the spirits which we designate under the name of "occult elements." These spirits are those who often prepare disquieting or fantastic dreams. They are those who produce the movements of the divining rod, and the raps on walls and furniture. But they can never manifest any other thought than our own, and if we are not thinking, they talk to us with all the incoherence of dreams. They reproduce good and evil indifferently, because they are without free will and consequently have no responsibility. They show themselves to ecstatics and somnambulists under incomplete and fugitive forms.

  • And Seventeenth-Century Europe
    The Culture of Dis/simulation in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century Europe Michael Gordian A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Combined Historical Studies The Warburg Institute University of London 2014 1 I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Michael Gordian 2 Abstract This dissertation examines early modern perceptions of the twin notions of simulation and dissimulation – which I refer to jointly as ‘dis/simulation’ – in various literary, social and semantic contexts and from a pan-European perspective. I look at how this thorny and controversial moral issue was addressed and discussed in a wide range of genres and texts and how it was disseminated to a broader readership. The introduction explains my approach to the subject, provides an overview of previous scholarship and includes a short excursus on three literary genres not discussed in detail in the dissertation. In the first chapter, I analyse the varied treatment of dis/simulation in emblem books. In the following chapter I explore the link between the problem of dis/simulation and early modern reform plans for poor relief, focusing on debates in Spain. Chapter 3 looks at texts from other European countries and establishes the connection between, on the one hand, learned and scholarly discussions of the problem of mendicancy and, on the other, popular literature in which the deceptions and disguises of beggars, rogues and tricksters were a recurrent theme. The next chapter deals with the contemporary perceptions of courtesans and analyses the nexus between love, passions and dis/simulation.
