Charisma, the projection of an aura of self confidence, is based on a simple trick. After a short while there is no difference at all between the pretence and the actuality of self confidence. Anyone wishing to remedy a lack of confidence and charisma, and uncertain as to how to begin pretending to these qualities, may find that a day or two spent pretending to absolute zero self confidence will quickly reveal both the effectiveness of pretence and the specific thoughts, words, gestures and postures required to project either pretence.

disintegration

“disintegration (the fragile ones part 2)” is an uncertain track added by blackantlers in the Hermetic Library audio pool.

Blackness devours us all
I am falling with a fragile body
Endless chasm for all of us to fall
Will you come with me?
I don’t have very much time left
+
O’ Most High, O’ Most Noblest One
Take me, take me with you
I am slowly becoming undone
Roots grow weak for me
And my time is due
+
Mother, mother are you there?
Why thy sacrifice?
The moon so far here,
Why my sacrifice?
Moths as blood take flight.
+
What will become of me?
Please help, Lord, please help
The tide is pulling in thee
Water takes me as I whelp
Long tears, finally with the sea
+
Take me, O’ dearest one,
Archangels have mercy, please
My time here is done.
All the world in sight flees
What will become of me?
+
I see a Sea Priestess,
Offering her hand.
I have had enough to witness
I ascend from this land
Rising as moon moths in the aether

the vision of sorrow

“the vision of the sorrow” is an uncertain track added by blackantlers in the Hermetic Library audio pool.

What sorrow is this?
Blood chalice, scarlet
My cup runneth over,
In red seas,
Jackals gnawing on seahorses
Their skeletons too far below
Buried under blackness
I see too the flaming sky
Final trumpet blows
For you and I
I am surrounded by a halo
Mother’s womb swallows
We are the dust of insects and stars

in the depths of the sea

“in the depths of the sea (elegy lost)” is an uncertain track added by blackantlers in the Hermetic Library audio pool.

O’ Great Depths, O Starres!
How long until your grace?
The priestess watches with a veil of lace
Must the lion lay with the lamb of scars?

O’ distant Night Sky
With the vast Sea mirroring you
To Rise and Fall, into your eternity for I
The sublime light of the darkest blue.

Archangels I follow thee
Through this treacherous path
The Starres have laid out for me
O’ protect me from Blackened Wrath

The Starlit Mire

“The Starlit Mire (Nuit)” is an uncertain track added by blackantlers in the Hermetic Library audio pool.

Mother
I cannot see you
so far from the sky
naked like a worm
I cling to the earth
clad in my thin skin
Mother
I cannot hear you
so far from the birds
I am buried underground
as a serpent
I cling to the roots
cloaked in soft leaves
Mother
I cannot feel you
so far from the wind
I lie instead with father
of the earth
covered in my fine furs
in the rabbit’s den
Mother…
