I know I am really going on about this these days, but as the days lean closer and closer I do want to make sure everyone's 'in' who wants to be, for, to quote the Lizard King: 'the ceremony is about to begin'...PS: Sorry, People Who Love LJ-Cut. I do not use it for long text pieces. Only graphics, things with spoilers in them, and quizzes in which I can't be bothered to diddle the HTML and make them more interesting that way. I'm sorry if the length annoys you; learn to love your scroll bars and set your prefs for longer watchlist downloads. BTW, I am the one on the slow-ass dialup. 57.6 modem....just like 1997.

Oh, enough of that bollocks. The past is gone. Anyone for a future?
Hello everyone from CHORONZON HQ.
Some folks from the watch-list who I'd love to have with us on 06/06/06: THIS is by NO means an absolute list but these names keep jumping into my head:
amberite (I'd LOVE to do a shadowbox for you. Want to trade artworks? You do my Thang, I'll do yours?
zerolvxkrieg I'll email you at your "real" @ddress if it's still good. If it isn't, let me know. We have Noisy Stuffs to discuss.
king_of_dissentmollywoghpapillon I know that the "guest of honour" really wants you with us. Luckily, I think it was said you would be. :-)
p0izun4_4_4terielinvicti_solissatonya (If you happen to catch this, I hope you found a place to live....Did you?)
rainbowbrite242dream_logiclucidpseudogodlunermixmage (Got something to ask you about;
mordantcarnival referred me to you as a silver-worker and I need a pendant made of a certain thing; I doubt it would take you long to guess what. Essentially I want to get authentic with my amulet, and quit using a Valknut as a Triptrigrammaton, thus likely offending Odin AND Choronzon - each in different but equally noxious ways, by Use of a "Repurposed Mage-empowering Oriflamme". If you give me an @ddress I'll mail you about it; otherwise, I'll just comment in your journal, in case you don't catch this.)
freyjasragelayo (Would love to have ya with us; hoping it would not get you in Dutch with your lodge to do anything this heretical)
samael_northangerdeviant_mutesaruryujinmordantcarnival (I think you're 'down' already, but I'm not totally certain, since you were listed under another name, or maybe I'm just "whizzy in me gulliver" and can't remember anything properly.)
pandrax (You already commented in affirmative; I couldn't find your @ddress so use this form...though your @ddress is likely where everyone else's is, I couldn't have found my own hand in front of my face that night. So it goes.)
agent139 But of course...BTW, still trying to get your PDF open, my browser's on total crack or something. I'll try downloading again, if that doesn't work, I'll have you put it directly on c-org. (Shudders, realising the abrvtn sounded so $cientologist.)
Anyone I haven't included on that list is either already acknowledged or is someone I'm guessing just wouldn't be into something like this, or is someone I missed between the lines since I have a pretty big watchlist and your journals are all of varied levels of update frequency.
If I missed someone who'd really dig this soiree we're throwing here, I dearly hope they won't feel left out; if you ARE interested, and I missed you, please, make loud squawking noises. Rectification shall immediately commence thereupon.
If you are NOT into this hoodoo-goo-goo, and I DID put your name there, squawk even louder to be left alone about this stuff. (Or just don't squawk at all, and don't send me the form below with the relevant info appended to it...and you will be left alone just as much.)
A few of you I really hope to hear from soon: [cough]"people-I-do-audio-work-with" [cough] - actually ONE of you I see now just delivered a missive. See, it's like this. I want to make this a video dealie. I want to get the soundtrack done and then try to overlay the visual addenda atop it using Premiere, mixing it with Electric Sheep .mpgs as segues and then converting the resulting .avi to Flash. The soundtrack has to be done first if I want to make a video that moves in sync to it, so you guys gotta get your stuffs to me soon if you want to have them be on it. I am not going to be primadonna-ish about it, and say it HAS to be "done-on-the-moment" materia, because you have Lives and do Other Things that need doing. And I can improvise.
Note to all: I've expanded the PARAMETERS OF ACTIVITY to include other ritual magick not involving sex at the request of one participant, who had good enough reasons, and I thought it was a good enough notion. So if sexuality is frustrating you for any reason and that would be the only thing keeping you out of the party, then that's no longer a problem. CHORONZON is really Understanding.
By the way, remember that entry I wrote on Memorial Day? I guess it was locked, not everyone saw it. That amazing whateverthehellheis - I think he may have saved my life...or at very least from grievous injury. Maybe I'll tell the story some other day. I've been answering mail and doing this thrallfest called "06/06/06" (working title, not final) so I'm bushedaaaack, I mean, exhausted.
This event is making me giddy. The timing is a wee bit off in some ways; my poor cattie Aow, with the intestinal cancer, who was in remission for almost two years, is looking very poorly, and could go soon. I really knew this was inevitable, and would happen around this summer...but this would NOT be a good time (as if any would be) but there's degrees of awful. I lost him on or right before the date I might have trouble raising a current, for obvious reasons. I also am having other things going on with me that are pretty heavy, but there seems to be some level of resolution gelling, and importantly, I hav learned to be able to choose whether or not to allow that kind of thing to interfere. I never would have thought I'd be able to a year ago, but CHORONZON has been teaching me to sort out the gordian-knots, even when I cannot untie them.
Anyway, enough blibber-blather already. Time for the Real Information.
I'm saving you all a bunch of time and just posting the revamped AckForm, so that we dun' have to do this email merry-go-round and just get to the nitty gritty.
Details about what's being done here, if you've not seen them yet, are here:
http://choronzon.org/06x3 In sum: it's a worldwide psychic orgy ("sex magick" on a mass scale) to take place on 6 June 2006, or 06/06/06.
Goal of this working will be to weaken/destroy the whole Apocalypse Paradigm, or, in simple terms, the feeling you've likely had all your life that the world isn't going to be around too much longer.
Essentially all participants agree to have some sort of sexual experience - or if not that, some other means of raising Power that day, and throw their gathered energies onto "the 333 Current", the matrix-cord of CHORONZON - the former demon-of-the-Abyss, and now, apotheosized Transversion Agent, and Lord of Hallucinations, Son of Chaos, et cetera - where CHORONZON will scoop it all up to throw at "The Beast 666" as symbol of this stupid paradigm and in doing so, burn it, split it 'twain, and bring forth the child 999 - the inversion of 666 - a Paradigm upon which you and me, and all the rest of us, may imprint upon, as the tabula rasa for whatever new subconscious assumptions would better serve our lives.

Dear Brother/Sister in the Benighted Zeitgeist of the Here/Now/Then:
The Choronzon project invites you to join us in a (semi-) organised group working/playing--which has as its goal WIPING OUT the sense of No-Future from our minds. We want to add your Powers to the great 333 Current. The response, to date, has outreached far beyond plans or hopes.
I do believe we'll have a damned good chance of literally fucking over the Apocalypse Paradigm. The one that's been figuratively fucking us over all our lives.
If you simply wish to do the "Holy Fuck", and have no further involvement, that's fine. Most of what is to follow will be of interest primarily to those who wish to contribute art, which will be assembled by the Choronzon project into a multimedia commemorative work. This is one that will "escape" for a while, (i.e. be floating onsite, as a media file or collection thereof) on this page:
http://choronzon.org/06x3 After 72 hours, it shall be "caught" and caged up again, and then in the future, properly "released" (meaning, it will become part of a bona fide album.)
All contributors will be credited. We'll need to know who to put on the list of contributors. You'll need to know how to get it to us, and all that...Which is what the following covers.
WORD/SOUND/IMAGE
If you can give us your own media, that's best. But it is understood that sometimes, just living keeps one so busy with jobs and families...and for that matter, your OWN projects...that such simply can't be a consideration. If you've not the time or means to produce original media, here are some places to go and find public domain files for the "melting pot". Everything we receive will be used, unless it's just totally stupid, or inappropriate for any other reason. You are likely a mature adult, so it will be taken on trust that you know what that means already.
You might want to think about the goal of the rite when choosing your contribution. Themes can be, but certainly are not limited to:
- apocalypse, Armageddon, eschatology, the whole paradigm in general
- the "Beast"
- Babalon
(She's the Scarlet Woman, the "rider of the Beast" in The Book of Revulsion and the name BABALON was also said by Aleister Crowley to be the phrase meaning "Victory over Choronzon"...BABALON, however, is now on much better terms with CHORONZON, since his announcement of truce with Mages, who he never disliked in the FIRST PLACE, they seem to enjoy one another's company. And thus, she no longer "restricts" him, having been given certain favours - the nature of which, it appears, neither are telling. NOTE: Some mail from one of our party guests seems to bear this out: a Thelemite who'd been wary of these proceedings was advised by Babalon to 'go for it'. Sweet! Crowley would shiver in his grave, if he's still in it, to see these events unfold.)
- twaining/twinning
- the bad ergot-alkaloid-poisoning "trip report" that started the whole stupid Paradigm: the Book of Revulsion - more popularly known as "Revelation"--and yet nothing of reveling whatsoever occurs therein.
- CHORONZON/XARONZON and split-aspects of god/goddess-forms
- 333, 666 and 999
- the alchemical wedding
- sexuality...esp. psionic sex
- sense of future vs. sense of no-future
Or you might be hit by a bolt from Chaos Itself, and choose something at random.

You probably know about Wikipedia, but have you seen the Wikimedia section? Check it out, it has metric tonnes of public domain art and sound-files:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:PD_Art Lots of old religious paintings and historical sketches here.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:PD-self Total randomness. Self-submitted public domain photos. All kinds of things; some totally bizarre.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:PD_other_reasons Miscellany. More randomness. Lots of violence and butterflies.

A site in the Netherlands has gathered together the work of "phonographers" who take sonic pictures of places. Everything's up for grabs. Makes me really want to get a tape recorder and start sending stuff to them.
http://soundtransit.nl 06x3 "GRAB-AND-SLAP"(tm) FORM
Just answer the queries below, then do a "grab-and-slap", a cut-and-paste, in other words, into your mailer,
and address missive to:
06x3@choronzon.org 1. IDENT
Identify Yourself: as you would to your earthly peers who'll be doing the same things as you this day (though all will be totally DIFFERENTLY-DONE) and to the dwellers of the Xenodimensions. Can we have a nickname or handle for you - essentially, anything other than your "Christian name" - that you would be known by?
If you've a Mage-Name that is used for sacred events of any sort, one that you do not keep
totally private, that would be best.
I WOULD LIKE TO BE LISTED ON THE ROSTER OF PARTICIPANTS/CONTRIBUTORS AS:
2. GLYPH
If you have any kind of glyph, oriflamme, sigil or symbol that you use as a signature or symbol of self, please submit an icon-sized graphic of this... around 100x100px in size.
It does not matter what file format you use; it can be shrunk down for you to it down to the proper size. If you don't have this graphic handy but can point to a web-page where your glyph is located, that'll work. (LiveJournal users: your icons are the appropriate size already. You may want to use one of those.) If you don't have a glyph, symbol or sigil, it might be a great time to make one up!
GLYPH LINK:
3. WORD/SOUND/IMAGE
If it's your own work, upload it to your website, LiveJournal page, etc. and provide the link to this.
If it's from a public domain site, provide the link to that.
What we want most is SOUND and IMAGE files, but TEXT is also good.
Textuality will either be orated aloud into the 'audio-' part of the commemorative audiovisual work, or be incorporated into the '-visual' part of it. If there is a preference, let this be known, please.
Textual contributions in particular should be your own words, whether or not written specifically for the event (apropos material you wrote already will be all right.) It can be long or short, but it will help tremendously if you do provide SOMETHING...even if it's just one or two sentences or phrases. It can be as oblique or as straight-forward as you desire...as structured or as poetic/free-verse/dadaist as you wish. If you are submitting text, put it here, along with the audio or visual link.
If it's a longer written piece, you may want to link to an outside page on your website or journal site,
instead, but please identify it as your own site.
(If you want to give us more than one format of contribution...super! The more, the merrier.)
MEDIA LINK
or TEXT SUBMISSION/TEXTUAL LINK:
(If you HAVE NO MEANS of uploading to any web-server, but have material to send, you MAY send it as an email
attachment.)
ETCETERATA:
For curiosity's sake. Optional.
a) Where'd you hear about this event?
b) Have you ever had contact with the entity CHORONZON? Was it positive or negative?
c) Have you ever heard any of the audio works of the Choronzon project?
d) What system of mage work do you practice, if any?
e) Will you have a partner with you on 6 June? Will s/he be actively participating as well?
(It should be noted that involving partners in some forms of sex-magic without their consent is Not Cool; please don't use a partner's body/mind as any sort of 'vessel' for any entity or force, without that person's explicit permission.)
f) Are there any entities, gods, goddesses, demons, angels or any other xenodimensional manifestations or personifications (either from an extant religion/mythos/mage-path or suchlike, or a self-created/perceived one) that you are particularly close to? If so, give his/her/its/their Name(s).
g) Were you raised in a fundie monotheist family? Did you grow up with a lot of apocalyptic banter around you? If so, do you feel it has affected your behaviour patterns?
h) Do you believe the world - or civilisation as we know it - will end in your lifetime? Have you ever wanted it to?
We'd like to anonymously post a list of all the answers to the above questions to the choronzon.org site on the 06x3 event page. If you'd rather yours not be included, please say so here:
I DO ( ) DO NOT ( ) WANT MY ANSWERS PUT ON THE CHORONZON.ORG WEBSITE.
EXTRA CREDIT: an Exercise
Suggested by
Our Lord of Hallucinations:
Sit still, Breathing, in your Room.
Clear OUT your IN with deft Mind-sleight
To Form a Void-Space of Vacuum.
Foreground: Triptrigramme. In white:
Let be a Field, Deepest Black.
(Or... Whatever Imagery
Works for You, Effectively.)
Make that a Focal Spot; thus Seen
As what you point Attention to:
a Cursor on your Mental Screen.
Be at the Centre of it. Enter...
Narrow down to Centre's Centre,
...and Then, There - at THAT Centre:
Be.
Then... POP! that Void!
Like a Balloon, and then so Soon,
- BLAP!-
Vacuum Destroyed.
Allow your Thought-Streams now, to Flow
Where'd been but Void, one Breath ago.
Let what was Stoppered-up, now Go...
What First Came Through, when Void was Blown?
What Image your dear Mind's Eye Shown?
What Did You Hear? Or What Was Known?
:place your answer in this space:
See you at the "Party".
We'll be Barbecueing some Roast Beast.
Don't Forget to Bring the Hot Sauce.
Thank you for Everything.
In Chaos, Eternal,
Remaining, Always:
CHORONZON
