Principia Entropius Book Two >>The Principia EntroHocusPocus Part Three of 15 ---------------------------------- The Age of Antonines....The World was full of marvelous correspondences, subtle resemblances; the only way to penetrate them--and to be penetrated by them---was through dreams, oracles, magic, wich allow us to act on nature and her forces, moving like with like. Knowledge is elusive and volatile; it escapes measurement. ------------------------------------------- From: Flog Sonata To: St.Half-Mad A Treatise on The UNTHWAKABLES.

Armed only with wet sponges, the unthwakables are calm, cool, and completely psychotic. They feed off your lack of fear. They wear funny hats. They know when you are sleeping, and they'll guess when you're awake about 50% of the time. They are, the unthwakables! They carve soap into funny animal shapes. They haunt you like the plague. They feed your pets rare and disaterous herbs that cause your pets excretions to be bright beige. They are, the unthwakables. ------------------------------------------------------- Knowledge is wasted on the Youth, for in there minds, they have it all, yet the old will not beleive them. ------------------------------------ Answers to the Quiz in Book one 1: -------------------------------- 1.

He was such a cool Saint, that he is surely to be adopted and cherished by Erisians, Magic spells of Love, and to cause your enemys Death, are attributed to this Funkadellic Saint of the Silver Age. His parents wanted him to know about the Earth, Land, Sea and Air,so they sent him to the most distant realms, that he might acquire all mysteries, including the generation and corruption of herbs, and the virtues of plants and animals. The secrets not of Natural History, but Occult Science, those buried in the depths of distant and archaic traditions. At Delphi, Cyprian Dedicated himself to follow Appollo ("Follow Appollo" was the catchy Motto of the faith, devised by High Preist Smokus Doobus of Cyprus). and there he dedicated himself also to the draumaturgy of the Serpent, but it was widely beleived, that he did not inhale, or enjoy it. He Studied the "Mysteries of Mithra" (a Slogan devised by the High Preistess Cuntialipptys, after hearing of the snazzy "Follow Appollo" Motto), on Mount Olmpus he was guided by fifteen hierophants, but they did not have a catch-phrase that struck him as very cool, so he left and went to Argos. In Argos, he attended the Rites to summon the Prince of this World, in order to master his intrigues. Then in Delios was initiated into the Mysterys of Hera "Hera comes to save the Day" (was a very silly motto, but acceptable enough). In Phrygia he learned heptascopic Fortunetelling, and eventually there was nothing left of land, sea, and air that he did not know, no ghost, no object, no artifice of any kind, not even the art of altering writing through the use of Sorcery. In the Underground Temples of Memphis (egypt or Tennessee, not sure) he had learned how demons communicate with earthly things and places, what they loathe and love, how they dwell in darkness and how they mount resistance in certain domains, how they put secret backward messages in Perry Como Recordings, how they are able to possess souls and bodies, the feats of higher knowledge they can preform, of memory, terror, and illusion, and the art of causing turmoil in the earth, influencing underground currents. But alas, he was converted to Eris, but something of his knowledge, is kept here, in the mouths and minds of the Idolaters of Froot Loops. We have yet to unlock the secrets, but of this, that which is known, is that Crisco will be used, and plenty of it. * note: Butter flavored Crisco, has been ruled out, as blaspheme.
