John Balance called himself a pagan but used the term in the sense that to him it just meant being "godless" in the eyes of others, rejecting every god save for "except those you created yourself". I noticed Thee Temple ov Psychic Youth identified with the same basic idea. Genesis P-Orridge characterised TOPY as "self-professed and reconstructed heathens, godless and proud", but this term is clearly not in the sense of things like Norse Heathenry, and more like the way Christians call non-believers "heathens", embracing it as a positive term. It seems to me to mean something very similar to what John Balance was talking about, in that TOPY didn't formally believe in any gods as such, but they did see themselves as "pagans" in a way that meant a more or less non-conformist approach to religion and magic. TOPY's idea of what that is remains very relevant in some ways: to unite the conscious and subconscious will, in order to reintegrate and reconstruct the individual personality, thus liberating it.

I was very intrigued when I first heard of Megan Thee Stallion because I thought she might have some connection to Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth. I still kind of hope she does.
