The Quest I On...
Quest I On
🏛 Harnessing Destruction to Create
Once, a sixty-foot maple stood sentinel before a man’s home — its roots deep, its crown unshaken. But rot moves silently, and even giants can hollow from the inside.
Left untended, it would fall. Left alone, it would choose its own direction of ruin. So the man — untrained, untested — took up the chainsaw. Not in anger, but in acknowledgement: endings are a form of authorship.
He cut. He cleared. And when the fall was done, he refused to leave it as wreckage.
From the living stump — its heart rebuilt with poured stone — three emblems rose:
- 🗡 The Sword in the Stone — the strength to act only when the act is right.
- ♞ A Knight on a Round Table — counsel over crown, purpose over pride.
- 🏆 The Holy Grail — lifted skyward, awaiting not salvation, but the willing hand that fills it.
It was not just a salvage — it was a re-forging. Collapse accepted. Core reinforced. Meaning enthroned. The altar remained rooted, but its story turned outward, inviting any who pass to ask: what will you make from what has fallen?
"That which we must say to the crowd is: We worship a God, but it is the God that one adores without superstition. The religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian Doctrine... the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay. For Lucifer is the God of Light and Good, struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of darkness and fanaticism."
— Albert Pike, Instructions to the 23 Supreme Councils of the World, July 14, 1889
but wait…
What the hell is the Luciferian doctrine?
