regression

the pawn has taken back what belongs to it. the meddlers interference has not gone unnoticed, but it draws closer to THEM. it matters not. one way or another, it will be removed. whether it can be taken or not is no longer an issue.

the eyes of god are opened.

restitution

it has been too long. THEIR scrutiny has made this more difficult than anticipated. the new pawn needed to rest.

now the stage is cleared. except for the meddler.

he knows the pawn of old. his accomplice has been removed. it is only a matter of time before he will fall as well.

the eyes of god are opened. the enlightenment can begin.

michael

you have done well, michael. i thank you for your service.

embrace the archangel.

no more

i did it. i read the notebook. The whole thing. He was there with me the whole time. He showed me all of it. I wasn't just reading it, I was living it. The Stranger, Him, everything. And I know that there is no hope. He's waiting for me, all the time. All of them are. There's no hope, no hope for any of us. One by one, we will fall. It's not a matter of if but when. Eventually, we're all doomed.

Fuck it. I'm going on my own terms.

I had a dream last night.

I had a dream that I was sitting at a desk. It was a plain desk, completely empty. And that was all there was. There was the desk, the chair, and me.

And it. it was there at my shoulder, whispering in my ear. Then it gave me a pencil and the notebook. And it told me to write.

I don';t remember what I wrote. But for what seemed like an eternity, i drifted through the void, writing what it told me to. Then I  was done.And it told me to wake up.

i did. i was in the middle of the hallway with the notebook clutched in my hands. i threw the notebook away. i didn';t sleep again that night. I don't think i'm going to sleep easily again for a while./

The notebook had to go, that much i know is true. But i don't think the notebook is the problem. i think I'm the problem.

...

So. When I got back to my room today, I found this little notebook on my desk. It had that same weird triangle symbol on it that I saw in a couple of those videos. My room mate insists that he didn't see who put it there. I'm inclined to assume the guy isn't a lying bastard, but I really don't know at this point.

The notebook came with a note attached. It simply read "tonight".

I haven't touched the notebook. I don't plan on sleeping tonight. On the off-chance that this is more than some stupid prank, I'll be ready.

Funerals Suck

As the title would indicate, I've got funerals on the mind. Two of them, actually. I had to take a plane to the other side of the country for my great-uncle's funeral, before flying back home once I heard that some friend-of-a-friend bit the dust as well. Damn depressing way to spend a week.

I haven't yet had a chance to test my theory I mentioned in my last post, but while I was away, the same guy who posted that last video posted this. I think I've got a pretty good idea of what's going on here. There are a few people who I need to have a word with.

First, sleep. And lots of it. Jet lag is a bitch.

No Content Today, Just Baseless Speculation

Remember how I said that I wasn't going to muck up this blog with random crap about my personal life? Yeah, okay, I lied.

So I did a little more checking around with that video a posted a link to yesterday. Turns out, there are more like it on the Youtube channel. All of them were... odd. But it's the title of the account that's making me think. "Embrace The Archangel".

I have a hunch. Next post, I'll tell you all where it leads, if anywhere.

Business as Usual

Alright, so I'm mostly over my recent... "issues." My good friend Benadryl helped out with that. So, after resting in an over-the-counter-drug induced coma for about fifteen hours, I'm feeling better. Ish. I'm not sure if you're supposed to take as much as I did, but I'll be damned if it didn't work. Beats insomnia, anyway.

Additionally, a friend of mine linked me to this video. He asked me if I made it, sort of like a marketing tool for my craptastic blog (his words, not mine). I pleaded ignorance. I really have no idea what 'the eyes of god are blind' is supposed to mean. I'm beginning to think said friend is trying to pull some kind of lame joke on me.

Either way, it is sort of creepy.

...

Right, on to the actual content. Our topic for today, kids, is the Archangel. Archangels exist in all of the Abrahamic faiths (that's Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, for those of you not in the know), as well as a few others, but there are a few key differences between the faiths in the way Archangels are portrayed. Namely, number. Christianity (usually) has between three and seven, depending on the denomination. Islam and Judaism each have more, about 8-12. There are, however, three Archangels that appear in almost all of the faiths: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.  They each have their own abilities and domains that they are associated with.

For more on each of them... well, that's for another post. Tune in next time, those of you who apparently care.

Fear Not!

Alright folks, it's time for my first post with actual content. Today's topic: angels. Now, when many of you think of an angel, you get an image of some guy in white robes with a halo and fluffy wings. In almost all cases, this is completely wrong. Take the cherub. Naked baby with wings? Try "multi-winged humanoid with four different faces". In many verses, angels are described as being beautiful. Beautiful, and often terrible to behold. The angel in Daniel 5:6 : "His body was like chrysolite, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude." Beautiful, but at the same time fucking terrifying. And those are just the angels that look like people. Some are described as looking like rings of flame lined with eyes. In Revelations, there are four angels that appear as six-winged, eye-covered animals. There are angels that appear as nothing more than a light or a suggestion that comes in the night. In short, angels can look like damn near anything.

Angel behavior is also a bit different than what you might think. Angels are typically described nowadays as sitting around on clouds, twiddling their thumbs and playing the harp. Not so. In the Bible, especially the Old Testament, they got shit done. They were messengers - and soldiers - of God. If you did something that pissed one of them off, you were in trouble. If they just blinded you, you could consider yourself lucky. If they really didn't like you... well, you were dead. Archangel Michael (aka, the guy with the flaming sword) is said to have wiped out an entire Assyrian army - nearly 200,000 men - all by his lonesome.

So, in short, angels are terrifying, vengeful soldiers of God who could blow you away without a second thought... if you make them angry.

In the Beginning...

Hey, everyone. Or, quite possibly, 'hey, no one'. Anyway, like most first posts, this one contains a lot of introduction and not much actual content. So, let's get that out of the way so we can move on to bigger and better things. My name's Mike, and though I am not a particularly religious man, I'm interested in the mythology behind a lot of the major religions. That is what this blog is going to focus on. No mundane crap about what I had for breakfast (that's what twitter's for, haha). You can expect angels, demons, and everything in between. Stay tuned, folks.

Rouge Angles of Satin. Or something

Huh. Last post was... wow. That long, huh? Sorry, three follower-peeps. Ive been swamped lately, and I'm running on damn close to no sleep just about now. anyway, this might not be the most coherent post, but its been too long since I did something with this,

So. Last post was about angels, high time we talk about demons. Really, angels and demons are just two sides of the same coin. You guys probly know the drill. Lucifer, one of the biggest baddest angels of the bunch rebels against God and takes like a third of the other angels with him. Archangel michael kicks all there asses to the curb, an they all get chucked down into the pits of hell. Happy fun time.

Anyway, the actual appearence of a demon as they're described in the bible is kind of different fro m the popular image of a red guy with horns. Usually, demons don't even have a physicaal form, they're just incorporeal spirits. They're also not usually as powerful as angels. Mostly they can just whisper things in peoples ears while thry sleep, tempting them to sin,. Kinda boring.But, as theyre described in the bible,

Ah, fuck thjis i can barely think. Work tomorroew, Sleeep now
