Hello once again!There is a lot to talk about with this update, so let's jump right in! First and foremost we wish to thank all those who continue to visit and investigate the forum. This week the forum saw more activity than it had in these twenty short months. It is a great honor to know we are exceeding in our goal of creating an open and friendly environment for learning about the Left Hand Path. Truly, thank you to you all!Next on the list, a warm welcome back to @W_Adam_Smythe ! It's been quite a while, and we are all very glad to have you back. Adam will once again be writing an article for The Imperishable Star.On that note, the long awaited "The Imperishable Star v. IV" will be releasing this Halloween, and as always includes several fascinating articles by our diverse membership. The confirmed articles thus far are:1. Liber Draconis by @NEMO 93 2. The Hierarchy of Needs and the LHP by @Xepera maSet 3. The Aethyrs (Working Title) by @NEMO 93 4. The Akan Religion (Working Title) by @pi_rameses 5. Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan (Working Title) by @W_Adam_Smythe 6. Magic Askew (on Trapezoidal Magic) by @Onyx Numerous members will also be submitting articles simply discussing their general experiences with the O.S. thus far, how it has changed them, interesting insights, and things of that nature.Further, we have opened two spots for guest articles this time, as part of our belief that none of this "belongs to us" in the sense of most occult organizations, and that we are a "meta-organization" rather than a traditional occult group. We are very honored and have learned much from our time with @Mindmaster and @Kapalika , and so if they wish they will be submitting articles as well.Moving on, we are closer to getting pendants available. We are working to find a good producer as the O.S. itself does not make money in any way. We have narrowed it down to two, and are also looking into further designs as well. Two of these prototypes can be seen here:We will let everyone know when these become available, but this will not be until we can assure the highest quality, and do business with a trusted and honorable producer.Finally, as most are likely aware, @Xepera maSet has released his book, "Behold: The Prince of Darkness!" on Amazon for both Kindle and Paperback. Minor updates are coming to the text, so if you are the type of person that likes those early editions with mistakes I would grab one! https://www.amazon.com/dp/1726037460/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=dbs_a_w_dp_1726037460 And that's it! 20 months seems both such a short and long time. We are very proud to have made it this far and continuing to grow still, and believe us, the Order of the Serpent has no intentions of going anywhere soon. We will see you on Halloween!Like the Ancient Serpent, so too may You endure!
