The Birth of the Demiurge by the Aeon Sophia at the Beginning of Creation

This is the story of the creation myth of the Gnostics, who were a type of early Christian. They believed that the Aeon Sophia, who was the 12th emanation of God, gave birth without the help of her male half.Because of this, when she gave birth, it was to a monstrous beast, the Demiurge Yaldaboath. He was born with the head of a lion and the body of a serpent. He was cast down from the pleroma, their heaven, and created the first shadows in a realm of eternal light.A blind, mad god, Yaldaboath, in his pride, believed himself to be the supreme God, to have created himself.In his hubris, he, this mad deity, created the material universe, where we live and go about our business, within this region of shadow.

Wicked
2006-12-02 16:44:01 Download as MP3 This is Wicked . I just wrote this today.I wrote it using Reason, which I use with a MIDI keyboard (mine is a Radium Midiman 61 key keyboard.) Reason allows for multitracking into a whole virtual rack of synthesizers, drum machines, samplers and effects. The song currently has 6 parts.This is a piece extracted from about a 20 minute session of myself freestyling, jamming, improvising on each of those parts. I create a larger piece, and then edit something shorter out of it.It's a gothic instrumental piece.Copyright (c) 2005 by David TarletonAll rights reserved.You are welcome to download, share and enjoy it.

My New Pal
2006-12-02 16:44:01 You must believe me when I tell you that this is all true.The first time I summoned It, it was quite by accident.It was the Summer when I was eleven.That summer I spent nearly every day over at my friend Simon's, playing D&D with a couple of friends. I was a 9th level Magic User.Simon's Dad had converted their two-car garage into an extra room. It was littered with old, slightly stained orange furniture, and cheap cast off junk that wasn?t good enough to make it into the main house. It was a little off to the side, and mostly the adults never bothered us.We'd order pizza, and throw 20 sided dice for hours. We'd argue about how many experience points you should get extra for killing the chief Orc, stuff like that.Kid stuff.And then, at the end of one particular gaming evening, after a particularly difficult battle, my character found an old magical scroll in the game. It contained the Summon Demon spell.As I walked home later, I thought about what Simon told me about my new spel...
