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.

There are so many spirits and gods in our spiritual system that it can get hard to keep track of who rules over the land of the dead, and the complexities involved don’t make it easier for those with only a casual interest to keep track. There is also a bit of context that helps explain why the city of the dead is the way that it is.

The king of heaven Hechun has ideas of purity and explains why his city is the way it is. It is a paradise full of positive light energy and nothing questionable in dignity or morality, but many living there end up bored and doing the things they are not supposed to do. The city of the dead was once like this, but this was not inclusive of what people actually wanted to do once they got to the land of the dead. Hechun trusted The Black Fox to enforce and maintain order in the city of the dead, and he would decide to overlook casinos, brothels, and late night raves where people got intoxicated on plants of the spirit world that do not exist here. Some forces from the sky realm pressured the black fox to crack down on these amenities, so he had to make himself appear as if he actually was. He created a large bureaucracy and put the ghosts of heroic people in charge of the city of the dead. Their authority does not extend beyond the city, but they play important roles in shaping it. There were also legal safeguards put in place to make them perpetually unable to do anything to stop the fun.

However, the hall of honor and the deathly bureaucracy are only the official governing bodies of the land of the dead. Baron Blackjack and his wife are in charge of illicit enterprises of the underworld and the underground parties and gatherings. He officially runs the casinos and brothels, but is also the spirit that ghosts go to in order to ask for things they would not ask of the other gods.

Outside of the city at the center of hell full of dead ghosts and ancestors, there does not actually exist official governing bodies. Other gods exercise control over areas or in the steppes of elysium there are various warlords trying to claim control in opposition to the khanate.

A man recently died while attempting to assassinate Donald Trump, so there is no better time than now for a quick refresher on how to sustain the ghost of a dead person whether they are related to you or not.

As a reminder, you can use coffee, water, or various types of prepared food to sustain the ghosts of the dead. Even candy or other snacks are good as long as they are offered in the form that they are ready to be consumed in. This means no raw meat or unpopped popcorn. Liquor can be good but is mostly used for those who dealt with alcoholism in their life, and might cause the ghosts to become drunk and less competent when interacting with the land of the living.

You should be protected when doing this in case the ghost decides to turn on you, but this is unlikely if you are providing them with sustenance to interact with the world. Imposter spirits are a risk but unlikely if you know exactly who you are giving an offering to.

For this spell, take some dark red wine or other soft liquors that Maman Meche would appreciate. You can also use other feminine associated drinks such as gin, brandy, or lemonade or even non-alcoholic beverages if that is all you have access to. Take the drink to a graveyard and pour it out onto the dirt near the entrance or around some kind of gate or doorway away from the graves. You want to avoid getting the drink on any person’s resting place because that can confuse the ritual and potentially upset or bother the ghost of the person resting.

As you give the wine to Maman Meche through the ground, you will not only gain her favor but her energy of the ritual will thin the veil between the living and the dead in the graveyard. This will allow you to hear ghosts or possibly see things walking around like shadows or deities. Interacting with them is a whole other topic, but be respectful and disengage if they are not benevolent in nature.

If you resonate more with demons than the gods of Lavenderism, you can perform this spell with the Duchess Bune.

When you become a celebrity or a public persona, an egregore is created and attached to you that is a direct result of your fame or infamy. This is referred to as a stage egregore. You begin to function like an egregore and therefore become empowered from thoughts about you. You also begin to chase fame and energy directed towards you in ways like working more, producing more content, or simply engaging in attention seeking behavior. Because thoughts are energy, you might even end up getting spelled or having traces of people’s energy attached to you.

Your stage egregore can compete with or distort your actual personality and cause you to act in ways you normally would not. You can also become obsessed with work and getting attention. It can also cause its host to become insane as we see with some celebrities today. Your stage egregore can either be malevolent or benevolent depending on your actions and how you interact with your audience and/or your career. While a lot of conspiracies and theories exist about celebrity occultism, it is likely that the people involved are not even aware of the spiritual consequences of what they are actually doing. They feed the spiritual construct of their stage persona while not understanding what it actually is or what it can do if it becomes independent from its creator.

After the death of a person with a stage egregore it can become an independent evil spirit that can cause issues for the people around it. The effects of people who leave an impact on society through their public persona can also cause them to manifest in other supernatural ways.

For this ritual, first light some incense and begin to say the enn of lady Naamah, if you don’t already have it playing in the background. Then take some seashells and place them on your altar as an offering to lady Namaah. Sprinkle a small amount of tobacco on the seashells to both empower your ritual and as an additional offering to lady Naamah.

Lady Naamah also enjoys dark red wine which can be offered in addition to this ritual. A sign that this is working is strange things happening to electronics or teasing and increases in libido.

The brutal dictator Donald Trump, who led his country into disastrous wars and is known for arbitrary detentions and deportations, human rights abuses, and egregious violations of the geneva conventions, has been shot in an assassination attempt. The murderous tyrant survived with minor injuries as the bullet went past his head and grazed his ear. The billionaire-controlled media is reporting non-stop about this assassination attempt. There are choreographed displays of sympathy being put on by the regime and its supporters. Citizens are finding less biased information online from foreign media.

Despite the US government and organizations under its control such as the CIA attempting to assassinate our comrades a dozen times a day, they seem very sensitive to their own leadership meeting the same fate. The CIA tried to assassinate comrade Fidel 634 times, and other leaders around the world working for proletarian democracy and the end of capitalism probably get similar treatment that we will not even know about. On top of this, media coverage of Fidel Castro’s death was extremely one-sided and disrespectful towards Fidel, his supporters, and the nation of Cuba as a whole which provides more advanced civil rights and services to their citizens, who can expect to have longer life expectancy than those in the United States on average. Even though he continues to live, the missing piece of his ear will serve as a reminder of yesterday’s events and the odium that his tyranny has generated towards him.

I’m obviously imitating the western media, but I think it’s important to ask, why the hell should we care if this class enemy gets shot, as if we did not live the brutal four years under the regime of that man. It would be so unfortunate for the ruling class and the politicians of the United States if Donald Trump was harmed in some way, but as a person that is not benefiting from capitalism and is actively oppressed and denied basic rights such as health, education, or food by the society I don’t what they expect me to think. Do the liberals know the kinds of things Donald Trump and the United States government do on a daily basis? These people are not our comrades and do not even positively contribute to the state of the world. These are imperialists and fascists. I have no idea why the liberals are wasting saliva defending the actions of this man or trying to garner him any sympathy.

When the liberals critique issues in society, it tends to come from a point of moralizing. This is especially the case in social issues like sex work or the decriminalization of recreational drugs. They will say that the people who have to make a living either doing sex work or selling drugs “have no dignity” or “Should have done something differently.” While I can understand why a rightist would think such a thing, this seems to ignore the reality of America being a third world country with no opportunities, human rights, or the potential for anyone to do anything productive with their lives. I have to give a side eye to these people who like to give others the impression that they are so progressive and advanced in their political analysis but then participate in blaming the people in poverty for their own survival.

In a society where not a single person is able and willing to help those who need it, people still find it appropriate to look down on those who are not fortunate, if they are not engaging in charity or other activities to help them while not wanting to address the uncomfortable material conditions that cause them to need help in the first place. Helping the poor while avoiding asking why they are poor, seems to be a form of virtue signaling and self-satisfaction, although I do think the intentions of the people involved are mostly benevolent.

The best answer to why liberals are so judgemental I can come up with, is because the culture of The United States is formed around survival in a capitalistic society. So the desire to hustle, emulate wealthy people and the focus on responsibility of every person for their life situation tends to reflect that. This has even influenced minority communities and created respectability politics and other movements to assimilate both culturally and politically into the United States. Influence from capitalist realism has even created ideologies that are freaks of nature such as conservatism in minority communities that would paradoxically be the targets of social conservatism in this society, which are obviously created in an attempt by these people to obtain a similar quality of life as white people. In such a society, it does not matter whether a person did not have a choice to be poor or not, because they cannot be your customer or provide you with any kind of economic help if they are not in an economic position to do so. Even marginalized people such as Trans people or those with disabilities, are looked down upon for their likelihood of having issues with employment or being self-sufficient in society.

The reason liberals are so judgemental of the proletariat, even when some may be classified as a member of the proletariat themselves, is because they have internalized the constructs of capitalist society as being inherent and not as man-made systems that are created artificially by humans, and because association with people who are so marginalized limits the chances of their own survival in society (at least on a subconscious level). This creates a kind of resentment to such people which stems from primitive evolutionary psychology. Because many people living under capitalism are more likely to succeed if they accept it, this reinforces the societal attitudes that promote darwinistic and reactionary ideologies. The saying “Go woke go broke” reflects this, and because liberalism is already a reactionary ideology pretending to be progressive on social issues, the people subscribing to such an ideology are unlikely to ever break free from the thought patterns that cause them to think that way.

In Buddhism and dharmic faiths they tell you to not have attachments to things to achieve a state of freedom from the physical world. In the abrahamic faiths it’s not that, it’s about facing eternal punishment from the demiurge if you go against its desires. While obviously that’s not what happens, something else happens that some may not want. Attachments to the world in the forms of lust, gluttony, debauchery, or even to accomplishments or altruism can result in you becoming a ghost.

Becoming a ghost is not necessarily bad and you can be a very helpful spirit to the living people of the world and guide them to beneficial outcomes. You may need sustenance in some form such as food or coffee offerings, thoughts, or rituals performed to give you energy to interact with the physical world. You can also function like other spirits depending on your spiritual modus operandi. You may be able to sustain yourself off of sex and lust like some spirits, or bodily fluids. Some can sustain on dung and animal flesh while some of the less benevolent ones sustain themselves off negative energies such as violence, anger or suffering.

To avoid becoming a ghost, you must make peace with death and make the conscious choice to move on once you no longer have a physical body in the land of the living. This sounds simple, but many do not even realize they are dead which complicates the situation. Others may be so caught up on protecting their bloodlines or fulfilling desires from their lives they do not even visit hell. If you must become a ghost, just do not become a hungry ghost, causing problems for the living due to a lack of sustenance and feeding off of the living parasitically.

When the humans and animals made the agreement that they would eat and hunt each other, the ocean goddess did not expect the animals of the sea to be included in the agreement. However, she began to notice humans and animals started eating fish and making them into food. She even saw some of her precious dolphins become food when people hunted them with spears. The Lady of The Waves did not appreciate her creations being hunted, so she made some animals that were not friendly and some that were scary and would discourage humanity from bothering the innocent fish. She created stingrays, piranhas, and sharks. Even though humans were not their main source of food, they were still scary enough to persuade humanity to stay away from them.

Hundreds of years have passed, and it has been so long that the colonial white population of North America rarely even thinks about the fact that the continent is stolen from indigenous peoples, if they even realize it at all. The parts of the world that were less destroyed by colonialism have already gotten their independence, and some even continue to exist with white minorities but with indigenous people gaining some degree of self determination. Obviously self determination does not mean the indigenous people of a country oppress everyone else in a role-reversal of the colonial relationship, and this scenario only exists in the minds of settlers who think that other groups of people are just as bad as them.

People may think they are progressive or not problematic, but then they will want to go and display an American flag somewhere. They think that they are so inclusive and socially aware, only to celebrate holidays such as the fourth of july or thanksgiving which are especially problematic since the United States can only exist over the dead bodies of the indigenous people of turtle island. People may think it’s radical to invalidate the existence of the United States, but it’s even more radical to turn your nose up to the genocide of an entire continent just so you can maintain allegiance to the war machine and not have cognitive dissonance over western imperialism being the basis of your nation’s existence.

I can already hear the responses I would get. “In some other countries things are worse” or “In Native American communities LGBT are not accepted” or other half-cooked arguments based on liberalism and idealism that also completely obscure the reasons the world is the way it is. Indigenous people did not live in a unified society but without Christianity or European social structures the ways of life would not be similar to anything we have now, and they were historically forced into boarding schools where their culture was systematically destroyed and they were forced to assimilate into American ideology. Colonial states did not allow Native societies to develop on their own so pointing to modern reservations and saying “Look, they still have issues” is unfair and colonial logic that only serves to justify continued injustices. It gives the same energy as when liberals point to Palestine and say “Hey, these people haven’t built a gay utopia!” It’s the kind of discourse we should be laughing off but somehow gets listened to by those following liberal ideology, so I have to actually explain why that’s not convincing.

Regardless of the indigenous people of Turtle Island not living up to the imaginary standards of the liberals, the anti-colonial struggle is anti-revolutionary. An Israeli gay marriage taking place in the ruins of gaza is not progress. A drone strike commanded by BIPOC on third world villages is not progressing. Female landowners stealing the land from Native people the same way a man would is not progress. Even trans women contributing to western imperialist interests in the Ukraine war is not progress. The modern way of thinking given to us by Liberalism is that minorities being allowed to contribute to the imperialist war machine is progress and helps the advancement of their communities. If you truly wish to contribute to the freedom of marginalized people, you need to remove yourself from the thought process of a colonizer. The Native people continue to have their lands taken from them to this day.

On this Fourth of July, think about what you are actually celebrating.

What’s going on in both revolutionary and reactionary politics in America is a strong dislike for the current regime which is oppressive and brutal economically while taking mixed stances on social issues. Reactionaries want to create issues for all of us, but they are anti-government and say things which sometimes say similar things to comrades. It is important to keep in mind that someone is not a good person or an ally to the masses just because they hate America. Even Osama Bin Laden understood the evils of zionism and had very progressive ideas on the liberation of Palestine, but then went on to support fundamentalism and fought against the Soviet Union with CIA funding. The fact that so many people hate America does not say much about the ideologies they hold, but is more a consequence of the ridiculously long list of enemies the regime has and continues to create for itself.

Even people separate from radical ideologies hate America for reasons that are completely independent from any existing political ideology because the regime is that bad. Random people with very little interest in politics even begin to grow disdain for the regime due to imperialism and the occupation of their lands or coercion of their nations to western imperialists. There are even liberals who hate America, ironically enough.

Reactionaries and radical liberals may be doing things that damage the political systems of the regime, but they are not contributing towards the freedom of the people since they are not socialists. While an organization led by comrades should allow them to participate, the comrades of any Marxist tendency should be following materialism and should not resort to distorting its positions in favor of liberal or reactionary idealism. Appealing to other non-Marxist ideologies or reformism like this may increase popularity or membership in the short term, but it inevitably causes an organization to fall apart or simply become redundant.
