NEWSFLASH - Eros and Thanatos are in cahoots! Read into this libre-antiexegesis and witness the mystery of the grand co-conspirators of chaos!
Thanatos, the condition of life, feeding Eros with fresh matter in which to dance and express, sexualise and bifurcate.
Eros animates and ravishes matter, becoming us, you and I, we, the mortal play things it embodies, burning brightly or dimly through us, leaving but a spent husk when our time is up.
Thanatos, the eternal silent witness, Eros’s one true audience, so lovingly attentive, accepting all, ever and intimately present to the absolute furthest ends of Eros’s fiery passion and lust expressing through and burning up in countless desires and frustrations, grandiose ideas of selfhood and meaning, each of them a mere momentary flash of Eros’s infinite potential for dance, play, poetics, foolishness and laughter.
Eros seeks release and finds it in Thanatos.
Yet some of us grasp tightly to our restraints, hesitating to surrender into dissolution, until one day the release is total, release from ourselves.
Thanatos and Eros’s love knows no bounds.
Together they become, one and the same.
THANATEROS
Thanatos, Thanatos, Thanatos - there you are
Gnarly hand of bones, reaching in from outside time
Dark obliteration longings, striking out
Erasure, into the eternal beyond
Opening skull, revealing life’s fragile energetic process
Bio-electric systems so easily snuffed out
Identity lost, all gone, no desire, nought remains
Nihility now!
Here comes Eros, Eros, Eros
Entering into emptiness, awakening somatic flaring fire
Appearances of body, empty opening life
Motion, vibration, tickling fancies
Teasing, playing, stimulation stirring
Inertia now becoming
Sensed, sensor, senses
Enrapture now!
Here now Thanateros, Thanateros, Thanateros
Empty open vast loving kindness of sex and death
Without limits, unconfined and eternally free
Athena leans in and whispers…
“You have everything you need. This I promise you.”
Witness Eros and Athena’s secret pact!
Every act, word and deed, every union, every partnering
All has meaning - All!
Meaningless? The worst kind of meaning!
Act now, pay later.
THE CALL OF THANATOS!
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Don’t forget to open your eyes
Don’t forget to live your lives
I am waiting for you
I will devour all things you become
Always
THE CALL OF EROS!
Let me in. Let me in
And Let me be, let me be
Let me flirt with my darling Thanatos
It’s a kinda sexy
Always take me with you - in every act
I will become all things for you
Always
THE PACT OF EROS AND THANATOS
Eros constructs life from inert matter
Life leads to more Thanatos
Thanatos feeds Eros
Eros feeds on death
It does not matter into what myriad forms Eros takes life - Thanatos always awaits as surely as Eros buds new life
Eros doesn’t need to be worshipped
Eros just wants to be with us
With you in everything we do
Invite Eros in, and worship the world
See Eros flourish
See Eros die
But always Eros is at play
Loving every day
THE SECRET PACT OF EROS AND ATHENA
The loving dance between Eros and Athena
Athena creates beautiful order
Eros plays within that order
Testing it, breaking things
Always pushing the boundaries, testing
Eros does not need Athena
And Athena does not desire to be needed
It’s the cosmic tease
Side note: We, (Eros and Athena) do not need to be gender identified.
Feel free to assign us any gender you like, at any time, if that helps ;)
CONNECTION & EROS
Everything, everyone, is a treasure
We all crave connection
But why?
Because connection helps us feel our connection with Eros
Creating community can help us feel Eros
One of the kindest most beautiful things you can say to a living being, is “I believe in you.” And mean it. It’s like saying you are worthy, you have everything you need, now go on and express your life fully, set your daemon free
And the question comes: “But how?”
How to live life fully?
Embrace Eros
Every home should be filled with Eros
ERIS INTERJECTS!
I asked Eris, “Why?”
And she stuck me with a needle of pain.
And she said, “That’s why!” - with that salacious cheeky grin.
If you want to bring someone to their knees, you don’t need an army.
Just send Eris.
BAPHOMET ADDS!
Baphomet pops in and says…
“As above, so below, as within, so without, as behind, so before - There is a hidden order to all the players in the pantheon. To bring all your dreams and desires into manifestation, learn who to evoke and when. I can help teach you this. You will learn the secret order of things. Maybe even be able to articulate it, with Apophenia’s help.”
