Lavenderism is a reformed new religious movement and/or form of spirituality. It is based on philosophy, activism, self improvement and the worship (or veneration) of innumerable spirits and gods, though many are initially unimportant. It also includes magical practices that can benefit those who are able to wield them.

If you went into the American educational system like I did, you probably noticed how much focus was given to the holocaust. There were entire classes devoted to holocaust studies and the entire curriculum surrounding the second world war focused on the holocaust. Even in reading classes the diary of Anne Frank made its way into the reading so we ended up learning about the holocaust in multiple classes at the same time. Never really too in-depth though and it did not go into much detail about other groups of people who were persecuted besides those who were Jewish. It’s not bad to learn about the holocaust, but after some time you have to wonder, when are we going to talk about Leopold’s crimes in the Congo, Japanese crimes all over Asia, the brutal genocide of Native Americans on the land that we’re literally standing on, etc. The language used and the way that subjects are taught even reserves the use of the word genocide for the holocaust while referring to other brutalities as wars or not referring to them at all. American puppet regimes such as Taiwan, South Korea, or even South Vietnam never get their crimes revealed to the masses of the United States.

The holocaust is a valid topic to teach in schools especially history classes, but what the American government is doing is so obviously propaganda. In a country where Zionist billionaires are in control of the media and are allowed by the law to overtly lobby and pay politicians to do what they want, they have as much control over society as they do money. What we would consider overt corruption is the daily modus operandi of the United States. Even foreign governments such as the Israeli regime pay the politicians to push the narrative and create justifications for the crimes of their government, or even to make them ignore it entirely. They defend the war crimes of whoever pays them. They defend the genocides of whoever pays them. It’s not complicated.

Unfortunately, most people fail to accurately and appropriately critique the state of Israel and Zionism. Some people seem to hate Israel for reasons unrelated to the freedom of Palestine and more for the hatred or dislike of certain demographics. Some commentators equate Israel with Judaism or refer to Israel as “The Jews” while not taking into account that other demographics of people are actively supporting Zionism and genocide while even rabbis and professors in Israel are being arrested and tortured for expressing sympathy towards Palestinians. Not ideological comradeship or support for Hamas, just sympathy for people that are having bombs dropped on them 24 hours a day, and children who are starving in Gaza. Zionists will continue to die in Gaza but the most innocent people will continue to suffer as long as the terrorist Israeli regime continues its siege on Gaza.

The biggest irony of all seems to be how holocaust study classes tried to explain how something like this could happen, as if it took some extraordinary circumstance or it does not happen every day in various parts of the world. People support these atrocities simply because they are class enemies. I can split hairs and talk about human tribalism or grouping, psychological identification with the perpetrators of crimes like this, but at the end of the day that is just a long and drawn out way of explaining that they are class enemies and ideological criminals. The American bourgeoisie are selling weapons to Israel to use on Palestinian children, because their corporations benefit economically from genocide. They are in the business of ending Palestinian lives. If you truly want to study fascism or genocidal regimes, open up your windows and look outside at America.

Manifesting a partner with the energies of Baron Blackjack is simple, but it may take some of you outside of your comfort zone. For this spell, you need money with the Baron’s energy. This means money won from gambling or money that has had rituals performed on it for this purpose.

To make Blackjack money, take some of your nation’s currency and either spray it with Florida water or smudge it with bay leaves or sage to cleanse it of the traces of the previous transactions it has been through and the hands it has passed then add a small amount of oil to the money. You can use dark brown oils like patchouli or tobacco but aphrodisiacs such as lavender or scents of abundance also work for this purpose. If you are concerned about the money being dirty or sticky, you can simply burn incense and allow the smoke to transfer energy into the money. Sleep with the money under your pillow or bed and then use that same money to tip a stripper. The baron will be pleased by this, and will match you with a romantic partner similar to the person you gave the money to.

Greater Ecdysis is a spell that is associated with the moth god. In Between lifetimes the Thetan sheds its energies and restores to its grand, god-like state. When it chooses to return, it is almost like a great mythical butterfly choosing to return to a small cocoon. Your astral body however does have the ability to perform a greater ecdysis regardless of you still being alive, returning to a state of pure energy and then reforming itself into whatever shape it wants. It then shortly takes on a new evolved form that is superior to what it had before. You do not necessarily do this to purge energies from your life, but to take on a new astral form when your old one seems old or does not match with the goals you have in the current lifetime. You may also need a spiritual refresh. It is good for changing life phases or moving on in life when you feel energetically stuck.

To cast a greater ecdysis, simply imagine your higher self leaving your astral body, and it falling apart like a cocoon. You can imagine this happening seamlessly or your astral body being slowly peeled and broken so the higher self can leave it. You will feel elevated, and your new form may even surprise you. Ecdysis of your astral body will change your core energy for a while and it may be overwhelming until you are used to it, but it’s almost like a rebirth or an evolution that happens. You can imagine your new astral body taking on the form you want, but this happens naturally and it corresponds to your spiritual practice.

You may feel yourself developing certain energies or you may end up taking characteristics of your animal persona such as brown wings, antlers, horns, etc. You may also have more subtle features like brown markings around your eyes like an owl, or scars and scratches representing past trauma and adversity. Other things you identify with, practice, and spirits surrounding you will influence the form you end up taking. After ecdysis, you may find yourself having an easier time connecting with certain deities, energies, or accessing your spiritual talents and potential. You will also find you have an easier time growing spiritually as in nature, insects and snakes habitually shed their outer skin or shells to grow. Your old soul body shell can be made into a shikigami or absorbed into your new astral body to strengthen it. Your old astral body can also be used for energetic armor, shielding, and wards.

Once upon a time there was a rabbit acolyte under The Rose Bunny who desired to end industrial society and restore the physical world to being ruled by the God of Harmony. This created issues for Grandfather Rabbit, because the other bunnies of hell were mostly associated with love and sex since they served under The Rose Bunny, or at the very least lived in or around the forest of love. The Rose Bunny had no idea how to make explosives or end the industrial society, and she was not even remotely interested as a love goddess. Grandfather Rabbit begrudgingly left the other rabbits of the underworld and went deep into the forests of North America, where he met a man who was sending bombs through the postal system of the United States. The man began worshiping Grandfather Rabbit and in exchange, Grandfather Rabbit provided the man with rabbits to hunt and eat.

Grandfather Rabbit one night decided to take one of his follower’s bombs and send them to The Rose Bunny. She received it in the mail, and once it detonated it gave birth to a bunny god of explosives who was named Demoros. This angered The Rose Bunny, and she responded by sending the police to the home of his only follower to arrest him. Grandfather Rabbit accompanied the man from the cabin as a spirit guide until his death in 2023.

Even though Grandfather Rabbit is not commonly worshiped today, his traces can be called upon or sensed in the green anarchism movement or other ideologies relating to nature and environmentalism. He is aligned to gods of nature and gods of violence. He works alongside The God of Harmony/ The Turtle Tree and other deities of the North American forests.

In the city of the gods before the universe existed, there was no color. Everything was either so bright that no color could be seen or it was so dark that the gods were uninterested and considered it not worth looking at. The Theocraese people were flooded with their own light and it was normal for them. One day though, an artist began to become frustrated and attempted to manipulate light through magic. He created a prism stone from the energies of his heart chakra and then shot a beam of light through it with his hands. His efforts resulted in the birth of the goddess Prismaria. She was a kind woman who created unicorns, narwhals, and other celestial animals that went into the cosmos and left a trail of stars wherever they went.

The Unicolor Woman pleasantly surprised the gods living in Theocra by showing them the color white, which was her entire being. She gave birth to seven children by the names of red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, and violet who formed the rainbow and would combine to make more colors than could ever be seen. The colors had distinct spiritual energies and all took on their associations depending on the people who looked at them. The Unicolor Woman still thought something was missing, and had an idea. She reached out into the endless darkness around Theocra and pulled a small amount of darkness into the city. She created the color black, which shocked some gods, although a few saw it as welcome and complimented the other colors. With black, white, and the colors of the rainbow, the palette of possible colors that could be seen was expanded and we got all of the colors we see today. In some versions of the story, it is said the color black was born from an affair Prismaria had with a goth boy in Theocra.

The Unicolor Woman can be called upon by putting a prism on your shrine or anything that is associated with color or light. She grants people creativity not just in art but all aspects of life. She grants unicorns or space narwhals as spirit companions. She is also known as The Prism Goddess or Prismaria. She can also improve your vision, mood, vibrations or grant supernatural sight.

The most mainstream way of giving offerings to deities in Lavenderism is to have a shrine or altar in your home or some area. You would simply use a ceremonial container that can hold water and ideally is resistant to spills such as a joss cup or a large mug. You would simply fill this container with water, coffee, tea, or whatever liquid you find appropriate and say “I give offerings to the ancestors.” While you have the freedom to give whatever liquids you want, you need to consider that sugar will get sticky and attract ants over time, which is not ideal if your shrine is indoors. For the gods of Lavenderism the best way is to draw their sigils on cups or papers that cups are placed on. For oils, you can draw their sigils on wood or other surfaces to drop them on.

Sometimes you are on vacation or you wake up in another person’s home or you do not have a shrine for whatever reason. Regardless, there are various ways of doing your daily offerings to deities, ancestors or gods. The most obvious way is libations which can be done on the ground, but in cities the sewer grate works or even sinks or drains in desperate circumstances. The ground is universal and even if the ground is artificial such as rocks, mulch, or even sidewalk the offering is taken. Dirt is only ideal for purposes of tradition and having the liquid quickly disappear into the ground.

Many people will not want to do ancestor offerings daily and that is fine, although it may be better not to do this at an altar or shrine if it could not be maintained or would be neglected. You should also not make the libations or offerings dirty and should wash the container at least with water each time it is refilled or a new offering is given.

If the god of the moon has spent a lot of time watching you or you have his influence, there are various symptoms. Despite how these sound, they are typically not distressing to the person besides how they may cause dysfunction in our modern society.

You love monologues. You talk to yourself and could even write a book from conversations you have with yourself or while entirely alone. There is usually great knowledge or comedy in these monologues. The god of the moon does that a lot and you will notice that. You have strange thoughts or do not react strongly to insane or strange situations. You may not even blink when someone says they are a clone or come with a conspiracy theory, because you are familiar with the energy of the moon and insanity by extension. You may also have delusions Your spiritual development is remarkably more advanced than others and usually more esoteric and specific to you. Everyone else may be working on chakra alignment or gemstones, but you do more specific things like sigils or unique practices. You are attracted to people that are into drugs, partying, or have some connection to The Flowermaker. This happens because Biachar is the husband of The Flowermaker and therefore their energies are complementary. You may not be a stoner but you may believe some of the same things and have similar behavior even if you abstain from recreational drug usage. You are autistic, gay, or are considered to be insane by the general population You are polarizing with people either seeing you as funny or being made uncomfortable You are paranoid You tend to exaggerate to the point of hyperbole You engage in childish or silly behavior or joking, especially online and with people you know you will get a reaction from Your third eye is extra powerful and you may get sensations from your forehead, especially during a full moon or in situations you manifested for yourself. You have fluctuating periods of focus where you come up with extremely intelligent theories, ideas, and philosophies, but also have periods of time where you struggle with following things or suffer from confusion. This is because the moon’s energy can put your brain into overdrive for short periods while decreasing performance for an accompanying period of time.

For those who are moontouched, they should take inventory on their abilities and talents to figure out how they can be used best. Some things are obvious such as moon worship but the abilities of a moontouched are not limited to single applications and the potential benefits from them are as varied as the individuals.

As communists, it sometimes feels as if our ideology makes certain social movements obsolete since we must follow logic or we could not consider ourselves communists, and there are no logical justifications for the things reactionaries would do which makes them inconceivable for us. However, some issues such as the rights of women or social problems can cause controversy if they are not handled with a certain delicacy, regardless of how progressive your actual stance is on the topic. The oppression of women and their delegation to household tasks and certain kinds of labor comes from the beginning of the European family system where a family was considered to be the wife and children of a male. Because straight men were put above others, they were seen as the basis of the family. Christianity also contributes to a family structure of this type as opposed to polygamy, polyandry, or polyamory and open relationship styles we see more prevalently in the modern era. Other family structures have been thought to exist in history such as communal like what we see on communes, but those are so rare that Engels even had difficulty proving their existence.

To understand the oppression of women, look at the European family system and how it inherently empowers the men while working against the rights of women and children. It even works against gay couples since their existence is so alien to the family structures and subverts the entire point of putting a single man in economic control of a woman and their children. There is a reason that communists say that marriage is bourgeois, and it is because the family that marriage is intended to create, is heteronormative and is intended to make all members financially dependent on the man.

So looking at the entire society in regards to employment, opportunities, education, and even basic social interactions, the attitude of women being an extension of men either for being their wives or daughters has fostered attitudes that women are assumed to be less intelligent, competent, or stereotype them for traditionally feminine work. A woman who wants to break out of the constraints put onto them by society needs to do so much work and jump through so many extra hoops compared to a man, as well as find a working environment that is conducive to their success. It may be difficult to notice because women are such a large part of the population, but the differences are there and other forms of class oppression such as ethnic minorities, religious minorities, disabled and others feel compounding disadvantage over demographics. You hear talk of intersectional feminism that considers these other factors, but this is from a liberal perspective where the women involved are not as progressive and may attempt to turn the tide towards girlboss feminism or just try to make the system better for themselves while discarding the struggle for black or indigenous women.

Because feminism is such a large range of movements and anyone can call themselves a feminist, it is very easy for bourgeois or reactionary women to hijack the discussions. The United Kingdom has earned the nickname TERF Island because of all the trans exclusionary radical feminists dominating the feminist movement and turning against trans women. In America the reactionary tendencies also do this but are also more economically focused, where they desire to see women in offices and become the same bourgeois that exploit everyone else in society. This is called girlboss feminism and it is just as bad as you think it is. Various forms of feminism fail to address even the most basic forms of intersectionality or even include all women. Even some feminist theory written from a liberal (or Anarchist) perspective can be quite illuminating for those wanting to get a deeper understanding of the gender struggle and inequality.

Once upon a time there was a woman who kept asking The Rose Bunny for partners, but kept discarding good men for small stupid reasons. She grew tired of dating since she made it hard for herself, but she kept trying to break free from her self imposed loneliness. One day, she went to The Rose Bunny asking her for her true soulmate, to which the goddess refused. “You lack the maturity to be with him now, and you will do nothing but hurt him if I pair you together right now.” She bluntly stated to the woman, while putting her hands on her hips and looking away from her. The woman saw it as a personal challenge, and began working with less benevolent spirits to force herself into the life of her soulmate.

She was introduced to the man who was her soulmate, and to her surprise they got along and everything went smoothly. She wondered why the goddess would not pair them together, but when the time came he had to spend time away from her, she began snooping. She followed him to a specialized clinic and snooped through his medication. She confronted him and accused him of bad behavior and wild theories about how he acquired such a condition. She dumped him after a cruel argument, and went out looking for another partner. Nobody was the same at all, and her mind could not accept anyone less than the soulmate she had met. She began yearning for the man but also began antagonizing him for his status and calling him names.

The Rose Bunny noticed this behavior and decided to show the woman her true emotions. That night, the woman had a horrible nightmare that after an argument with the man, he drove off into the street only to end up being crashed by a car. The woman was filled with intense regret, despair, and sadness as she heard the honking of a car horn. She also was shown visions of her soulmate passing away in a hospital from his disease as many did in the 1980s, and every time she was horrified by the loss of him.

She woke up anxious and in sweat, and immediately picked up the phone to call the man she had mistreated. She left him many voicemails apologizing for her mean behavior. He accepted her apology, and they eventually went to move in together and she moved past her bitterness by creating happy memories. Moving past the man’s stigma, she was able to live a very happy life and even fulfill her goals of having children. She found sentimental joy in decorating her home and instead of petitioning gods for wealth and fame like before she simply prayed for the health and longevity of her friends and family.

Black sulphur is an element with the same symbol as the leviathan’s cross. The reason for this is because the energy of black sulphur is what differentiates demons from other spirits. It is used as a symbol for satanists or for those who want to contact demons. This is opposed to the alchemical symbol for sulfur, which is rarely seen and represents the soul, cleansing, and consciousness. Black sulfur is not evil or bad, but it’s the dark version of sulfur. All demons carry that energy of black sulfur and that energy is actually very good for us because it cleanses and enhances you. It is overwhelming at first, but over time you will see marked improvements in your life, vibration, and even energetically. Some depictions of demons such as Baphomet even have the symbol of black sulphur on their forehead, since black sulphur is a strong part of working with demons and demonic energy.

For people who want to work with black sulphur, evoking a demon is the best way. You can use symbols such as the leviathan’s cross or use certain mantras or workings to target black sulphur energy by itself independently from any entities, or even draw the sigil of black sulphur on yourself or in your area. The most basic calling of black sulphur is “Power of black sulphur enter me so be it” or “Power of demonic energy enter me so be it” which can be repeated as much as you like.

I was infuriated the other day to hear that over 50% of transgender individuals in the United States simply do not use public bathrooms because of the social stigma and the very real danger of being harassed by strangers, suffering from hate crimes, being sexually assaulted, or even being killed by a government sympathizer. Some of them even avoid eating or drinking so they do not need to use the bathroom in a public place and 8% of the trans people surveyed said they suffered from UTI or related problems from simply never using the restroom. The situation is especially egregious in schools where they may be forced to wear clothing of the opposite gender as well as only allowed to use the gender that the school assigns to them.

Despite this, sympathizers and other hate groups defend the actions of these organizations and even recruit others into their ideology to continue the legacy of oppression. The policies around bathrooms for transgender people that echo Jim Crow laws and only exist to cause suffering to the community. What is being done to Transgender people in this country is nothing short of genocide. On top of the bathrooms, the arbitrary arrests by police, or the laws put into place to stop them from getting hormones or medications. If a transgender person even tries to use the correct bathroom, the regime will make them disappear, and probably put them into forced labor with all the other political prisoners. For trans people who are also ethnic or religious minorities, the treatment is even more extreme and brutal!

In an ideal world, all of those dangerous transphobic people would be arrested and deported immediately, but unfortunately the opposite happens, with so many people giving into dangerous ideologies or using them as a paper thin disguise for the hatred of certain groups of people. They are given control of society and people feel the need to give in to complaints despite them not having

The solution is not easy, because even if restrooms were de-gendered or specific trans bathrooms that would still create opportunities for malicious individuals to harass or mistreat trans people, or in the case of trans bathrooms it would alienate and expose who is trans based on who uses that bathroom. The solution to this issue is to change societal thinking, because at the end of the day the issue of trans people using the bathroom is not an issue, even if the rightists want to believe it is. The issue is ideological fanaticism from reactionaries and overt segregation of the bathroom through unofficial ways such as humiliation and harassment from random people. People need to stop treating the bathrooms like airport security and let people pee.

I can’t believe I need to write a political theory about letting people use the bathroom. This whole situation seems so immature and childish, and if someone is so scared of being assaulted in a bathroom maybe they need to find one less seedy and dangerous. What kind of neighborhood do these people live in to be so scared of being assaulted in the bathroom or wherever else? When a person does not live in reality, they can’t be argued with. They need to take their minds out of these alt-right think tanks, and look around at the actual reality.

When I say necromancy, I do not just mean talking to the dead. The term is vague but even talking to ghosts is a form of it although in Lavenderism it would be called ghost worship and not considered too close to actual death energy based necromancy. The necromancy I’m talking about is not just dealing with a virgin ghost in the bathroom, I mean summoning a god of death (Or other energies that work for the same purpose) and directing death energy through you to accomplish tasks. Some practices are just raising the soul of a dead person to speak with them, but the greatest risk with those are imposter spirits. If you begin working with actual death energy necromancy, you can physically rot, you can have people around you die or die yourself, and even those who survive end up with health issues they need to manage.

A pro is that you experience a new dimension of existence, because it is very rare for most people to be touched by death energy while still alive. The con of this is that death essence (Energy from necromantic death workings) can cling to you and cause health problems or death to you or those close to you. This is especially true if you are using magic to make people or things die, since you are channeling that energy through yourself. You would be much better off to work with life energy and healing since it would affect you similarly and in a positive way.

Another thing that can either be a pro or a con for necromancy is that it is extremely dark. Some will be turned off, and others would like it. Some who like dark things might even try it if it wasn’t for health concerns. There are also some illegal aspects that include grave robbing or using the dirt from the grave of a dead person so they may help you out as a ghost in exchange for compensation. This is not to be done lightly and only the ghosts of magicians. You don’t need to graverob ancestors either because you are already connected to them, while this random magician is just kind of someone you take the graveyard dirt from, knock on their door, and hope they feel inclined to help you.

So while there are benefits to working with death energy in different ways, it is extremely difficult, dangerous, and it is not something that should be picked up casually at all. Those who naturally resonate with death energy usually also resonate with life energy, which also has benefits such as assisting in the care of plants, pets, and children as well as improving your own health and fertility over time. Life energy is also useful for anything related to nature such as crops, livestock or trees.
