Witchcraft is branded the enemy, but it's the authoritarian culture-sickness that plagues both body-mind and the Land. Indigenous peoples of the western plains occupied by the United States have called this Western civilization the Swallowing Monster, for it grows like a cancer, endlessly consuming.

The primary function of white supremacy is to destroy community and install hierarchy. My Craft abhors institutionalism and hierarchy.

You see a lot of the same thing in Appalachia, especially here in West Virginia where lots of poor immigrants settled (mining!) and where they've been doing extraction-capitalism for generations.

Because of the enslavement of Black, brown, and indigenous people in the US' conception, as well as the projects of terror during the Jim Crow era, folks from those ancestries are often poor because of that lack of generational wealth.

It's a dire place for most people who aren't "middle class" and hwyt, for those whose families have not gathered generational wealth in which to raise children, be material/financial help or support, or pass down wealth.

It's no secret the US is a huge tax haven for the ultra-wealthy, where labor is dirt cheap and its citizenry aren't even entitled to healthcare, not even the "essential" laborers.

They are stealing the Fates of millions to live in incredible, wasteful luxury and ease. The whims of these individuals is at the expense of all of us.

And yet all these resources are achieved (planted, grown, dug up/mined, harvested, made, cooked, refined, built, collected, etc) by workers. We live on a farm and are the livestock for a select, nigh invisible group of humans who thrive off the rest of us: the Rich.

Bureaucracy folds around them, they need not traverse the hurdles of red tape and fee structures and debt collectors. They live as masters of us all, and most of us don’t even know their names and faces; as they would like it.

Their every whim is satisfied because they can buy anything at any time, and every agent of this wicked system capitulates to their immediate desires. They live in a world separate from the masses, a world of VIP access and exclusive offers and advantages to the rich.

These “ministers” of the so-called Archons of Authority-Control-Annihilation–the greedy, wealth-hoarding billionaires and state governments and agencies who do their bidding–these selfish beings live with extreme, lavish ease and comfort at our expense.

we could collectively share the wealth our united labor has created instead of siphoning it to a few hands, and be able to truly refine our societies with our attention now placed not just on survival, but on thriving creatively within our civilization.

We would all have very different fates, very different lives to live out if these basic facts of our civilization were different – we would not want to toil away our lives for the profit and extraction of wealth by the greedy few who benefit from the system as it is,

The embodiment of these archons, humans who control access to our collective material resources through their amassed wealth of our stolen labor value, have divvied up among themselves the means for survival, and you have to pay them to keep having access to the resources necessary to stay alive.

"Its Virtue is the ability to thieve the destinies of those who are yoked within its grasp. By destinies, I very much mean the siphoned-away value created by workers, and access to material resources.

Or The Authority, The Control, and The Annihilation. These archons are Kyriarchy Itself, the master cogs of the machinery of our society, the soul of this civilization, and I have Named it thrice.

1. "Currently, we live in the Empire, the overculture, the marketplace world. No matter the bureaucrats at hand, it is a penal-carceral police state ruled by the trinity of Patriarchy-Individualism, White Supremacist Colonial-Settlerism, and Capitalism: The Father, the Son, and the Hungry Ghost.

Snow day.
