P1 Artemy based on this statue of the Roman god Mithras slaying a bull.
I've not read anymore than the wikipedia page on it, so don't quote me on this, but it seems that one of the earlier interpretations of the image was that it depicted the killing of a 'primordial bovine' from which animal life was created, coming from the Zoroastrian creation myth, which gave me major Bos Turokh vibes. I also kept the snake in there cause Daniil Imao

Who has chained the Queen-in-Chains and to where is it that the chains bind her? Does she prefer to be chained, or would she rather be free?
We are all chained. To each and every other individual; to every moment in time, past and present; to every place we will ever see; to every star that will ever shine above us; to our descendants, to our ancestors; to our friends; to our enemies; to the ground beneath our feet; to the air in our lungs; to the cells in our own body, to the electrical impulses of our own thoughts, to the moment of our death and the moment of death of every living thing inside of us and every thought about us that anyone has ever had or ever will have.
Independence is an illusion: individuality is a conceit as childlike and fragile as the notion of linear time. We are, all, suspended in a web of chains, each one connected to infinite others: and the strains and slacks and ripples that pass between them make up the shining tapestry of our one, whole, undivided universe. There has never been an island. You have never been alone.
The Queen-In-Chains is the Second Hour, preceded only by the Madrugad. For just as before anything ever lived, the passage beyond Death was already waiting for them (the Madrugad's domain): before a single act was ever taken, the entire interconnected tapestry of creation was waiting to respond to it.
The Queen-In-Chains is the Hour of prophesy, navigation, madmen and oracles. Her chosen include physicists and the seers of Delphi. Only she sees every link, and to what they are bound: there is probably nothing, past or future, that she doesn't know. Only she has traveled from one History to another. Only she knows what happened to the angels. Only she sees plainly the vast, black hand that turns over the cards at the bottom of Mithra. Because nothing is, that is not bound: and nothing acts, that does not travel through the entire universe as a shiver.
To petition the Queen-In-Chains is to go mad; to see the chains; to know the future. Hers is the light amplified by the shattered mirror. Blessings again, and blessings again, and blessings again.

BAPHOMET
Baphomet, which is a word that secretly has to be read backwards “TEM-O-H-P-AB”. It means in Latin "Templi Omnium Hominum Pacis Abbas", "Peace of the Father to all men in the temple."
We have to understand that when we address Baphomet, we are addressing the Cherubim that is mentioned in the book of Genesis as the guardian of the gate of Eden.
Baphomet is listed within the Gnostic Creed of the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica (the eccesiastical arm of Ordo Templi Orientis). The relevant article of the Creed is as follows: "And I believe in the Serpent and the Lion, Mystery of Mystery, in His name Baphomet."
Crowley said that Baphomet was representative of the Babe in the Egg, or the original being, which was bisexual, and symbolized "arcane perfection" (Crowley 1997). He further says of Baphomet, "this Goat is called also Strength, and standeth at the Meridian at the Sunrise of Spring, and it is his Nature to leap upon the Mountains. So therefore is he a symbol of true Magick" (Crowley 1995).
In The Book of Lies (1913), the 33rd chapter is entitled "Baphomet." It puports to transmit Templar Grand Master Jacques DeMolay's description of God under the figure of the double-headed eagle used as a symbol of Scottish Rite Freemasonry. It also alludes to "the GOD that is ass-headed," leaving it unclear whether Baphomet is to be identified with either, neither, or both the eagle and the ass-headed figures.
In the Book of Thoth (1981), Crowley identifies Baphomet with the Tarot card "The Devil" and attributes him to the Greek god Pan, the All-Begetter. In this context, Baphomet represents the "creative energy in its most material form...the divine madness of Spring" where he is exalted in the manifested, material world — a supreme appreciator of existence and the power of creation.
The name Baphomet was taken by Aleister Crowley when he became the Outer Head of the Order (or OHO) for OTO.
Many theories exist as to the origin of the term, including:
- Von Hammer derived it from the Greek words Baphe and Metis. The two words together mean "Baptism of Wisdom."
- Many commentators have concluded that it is a deformation of the Latinised "Mahomet," a mediæval European rendering of Muhammad (مُحَمَد), the name of the Prophet of Islam.
- Idries Shah proposed that "Baphomet" may actually derive from the Arabic word ابو فهمة Abufihamat, meaning "The Father of Understanding," and associated with Sufism.
- Von Hammer also suggested derivation from the Hebrew Maphtah Bet Yahweh, "The Key to the House of God."
- Lévi proposed that the name was composed from a series of abbreviations: 'Temp. ohp. Ab.' which originates from Latin Templi omnium hominum pacis abhas, meaning "the father of universal peace among men."
- In The Amalantrah Working (1918) Crowley reached the conclusion that the name should be spelled BAFOMIThR, signifying "Father Mithras."
- More recently, Idries Shah has pointed to the Arabic Abufihamet (pronounced Bufihimat in Moorish Spanish), meaning "Father of Understanding.

A Personal Party Problem
(This is the kind of post that would have been part of an ask or multiple asks in normal times)
One disappointment for me (and maybe only me) in SMT5/V overall is finding it difficult to round out a favorite but practical demon team. I like to use demons with personal significance and my ideal party would then be Cu Chulainn / Odin / Michael:
Cu Chulainn: his story made myth 'click' for me, among other things.
Odin: I was born on a Wednesday; Odin and Norse myth helped ease me into myth in general, with credit due to Final Fantasy's version as well.
Michael: I was also born on Michaelmas
I've been using Cu Chulainn and Michael since I got them in my Vengeance playthroughs. But the third?
It should be Odin, but the Ultra design assures my favorite deity is dead to me in SMT. I've accepted that Rune Odin will never exist again. Maybe it was always a hallucination?
Halphas might seem obvious, but I dislike that he's attuned for ailments.
Both Satan and Lucifer I found underwhelming in Vengeance.
Mithras, but it's always bothered me he's a Tyrant.
Zaou Gongen, but his cloth wraps look terrible on the new model because they're entirely stiff.
Look, it's entirely nitpicky, but as the 3D demon roster only keeps growing, I think being selective keeps things focused. Thus, Nocturne remains the only game where I can make my ideal party, aesthetics and all. Here's the ones who should be the obvious fill-ins, but they currently don't exist in 3D:
Stolas, the ultimate cute mascot for the occult and a reminder of why I find the silliness of Christian occultism so compelling.
Lham Dearg, my other go-to in SMT4
Bael, literally my face on the Internet. Maybe in SMT6 or Persona 6? Likely to show up first in Dx2.
Until then, I guess I'll continue using my Repel-all Mad Gasser. Almost finished my Vengeance platinum. Just gotta beat Canon Of Creation one more time (I'm doing so on Hard/Godborn just for the heck of it).

Not to be a low-key hater but the extended gameplay trailer to Bloodlines 2 dropped so I am once again thinking about this game against my will I guess.
Have a theory about where they are going with this Phyre & Fabien thing and I hope it's wrong, but it's also the only thing that makes sense lore-wise as I see it.
So, as there can't be any Cobweb shenanigans, the whole "being stuck with another vamp in your head" thing has to be because of diablerie right? After all, sometimes even if the diablerist succeeds, the victim's will is strong enough to prevail past the amaranth and become a permanent companion inside their attacker's head, tormenting and manipulating them on the daily. Most recognizable case of this happening is the Mithras & Monty Coven situationship. The difference (?...) between those is that Mithras isn't a fucking Thin Blood, he's a Vent methuselah.
Your consciousness surviving past diablerie isn't that much of a widespread occurrence that, worst-case scenario, every lick can count on happening though. Probably the most prolific diablerists these nights, Helena and Agata Starek, aren't known to be tortured by dozens upon dozens of voices, even though they ate countless neonates. So, why is Fabien still here?
I think the only sensible answer is that Fabien is the Elder and Phyre a former Thin Blood who assumed his clan after diablerizing him (as that's how diablerie works for Duskborn). It is then consistent with the nonexistent character creation with the simultaneous ability to choose from one of the 4 clans - you can't change how you look, but you can decide who to eat. Since this is an RPG, some mechanical character progression will need to exist, and this is as good of an explanation as any on why an Elder doesn't have their in-clan disciplines on level 4-5. This mark garbage may be their brilliant idea on how to externalize (idk why, I'm just rambling) the black veins that cling onto a diablerist's soul. It also finally explains a supposed Elder having a modern haircut lol.
And again, I hope I'm wrong. Because if it turns out we're playing a former TB, people will be mad. A subset of players will absolutely be not normal over playing as an usurper "failed abortion". And then there would be the issue of further pissing on what we could have had with Hardsuit's vision. Also, it's simply an annoying gotcha twist, but I seriously don't see a different way about it.
#this is of course assuming that anyone on the dev team knows and cares about the lore and mechanics#which is sadly not a given#vtm#vtmb2#bloodlines 2#vtm bloodlines 2#wod#world of darkness

The Kushans were descended from the Yuezhi, a Tocharian-speaking (Indo-European) people originating from today's Xinjiang (Eastern Turkestan) region, who were pushed southwards by the invading Hunnic-Turkic tribes, thereby migrating to Afghanistan and Pakistan regions during the middle of 1st century AD where the Sakas (Scythians) and Parthians dominated/ruled. As the new rulers, the Kushans were able to successfully create a vast and prosperous empire, which at its peak stretched from Central Asia to northwest India, with the capital mostly in Purushapura (Peshawar).
Gandharan Civilization blossomed under the Kushans, with great progress made in the arts, architecture, and sciences. The Kushan Empire's economy greatly benefited from trade since it was in the middle of the Silk Route. Their acceptance and tolerance of many different religions and ethnic groups within their empire welcomed the fusion of diverse ideas/traditions, such as the creation of Greco-Buddhist art styles. Even though the Kushan rulers were culturally and religiously mostly Iranian, many other religions were also patronized or embraced. For example, the famous Kushan king, Kanishka, adopted Buddhism.
The Kushan religious pantheon is extremely varied, as revealed by their coins, on which about 30 different gods appear, belonging to the Hellenistic, the Iranian, and to a lesser extent the Indic world. Bactrian, an Iranian language and the official language of their empire, was mostly used but written in the Greek script.
Representation of entities from Greek mythology and Hellenistic syncretism on coinage are: Helios, Hephaistos, Selene, Anemos, Heracles, and Sarapis. The Indic entities represented on coinage include: Buddha, bodhisattava Maitreya, Mahasena, Skanda Kumara, Shakyamuni Buddha. The Iranian entities depicted on coinage include: Ashi Vanghuhi, Asha Vahishta, Atar, Khwarenah, Drvaspa, Vohu Manah, Mah, Mithra, Mazda vana, Aredvi Sura Anahita, Vata, Oxus, Ahura Mazda, Tir. Additionally: "Oesho" was long considered to represent the Indic Shiva, but more recently identified as Avestan Vayu.
The following are a few examples of Kushan coins with the ruler/king on one side and the god/deity on the other side:

So what is this cult you're always mentioning about?
in short: a mix of antichrist enlightenment deism, syncretic pan-indo-european paganism, and american civil religion with a dash of heraclitean-dionysian-nietzscheanism and futurism+. meant to be a community of like-minded free-spirits to collaborate and support each other, to foster our relationship with the divine for the wellbeing of ourselves and our communities and our nation, to cultivate elite shock troopers for the wars to come (physical, spiritual, cultural, etc), and to facilitate the birth of a new ethnogenesis.
we (i) believe in nature's god and providence and the gods of my ancestors (indo-european pantheons and maybe some native american stuff). they are real, not mere personifications or archetypes (though they are those things too -- they are that and more). the myths are true but not literal. reason is man's greatest oracle. revelation still has its place though.
"every man a priest" (priesthood of all believers) (but also there is a priesthood set apart from the common priesthood)
our priesthood carries the duty of establishing temples/shrines and making offerings and maintaining temples/shrines under our care and fostering our connection with the gods in or to ensure the health and prosperity of our nation and the goodwill of the gods and to provide service to our communities (in many forms; spiritual, moral, material, etc).
the founding fathers were apotheosized as saints, heroes, and demigods. the declaration of independence and the constitution are divinely inspired. america is the handiwork of the divine and has a special and sacred (manifest) destiny. america is the inheritor of rome. america is the ultimate expression of imperium; an empire of liberty (lady liberty is the ancient roman god/goddess). america is the ultimate engine of power, the culmination of all of history (by design). mithras (sol invictus) watches over us (freemasonry is a modern cult of mithras and it played a significant role in america's founding -- secret mithraic priesthood guided by providence.)
the old gods fled the old world (because of the rise of christianity) and came to the new world. here they prepared a promised land for us. when we reached these lands they were already here waiting for us. when thamus declared the death of the great god pan he was mistaken. pan had only made his way here, to america (aka the land of cronus). and the gods beckoned us here, a convoking an assembly of heroes (we americans, who answered the call, are the gods' elect). guided by providence. and they made a covenant with the gods here and the gods gave us this promised land in return. a great steppe for us to roam on horseback like our ancient ancestors did on the eurasian steppe.
they have tasked us with a great work (long story). but rest assured; they favor our undertakings.
also we have to conquer the stars and spread the fire of the faustian spirit.
also "we the people" (americans) are a sacred folk and we are the aristocrats of the earth and we must nurture and cultivate our people and foster connections and community and make it correct and healthy and restore natural order (dharma). and "we the people" seek to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
hierarchy is good and natural and sacred (it's in the name)
"war is father of all"
"i am a law only for my kind"
"the state is the march of god on earth"
being strong is good. we believe in human excellence and strive to cultivate virtue.
nature is cruel and (awe-)inspiring and worthy of respect. we seek to live in harmony with nature but recognize civilization and human genius as a great good. we love nature, and acknowledge ourselves as a part of it, but will not be victims to it.
creation of culture is paramount. tension is good. struggle is good. the earth is an altar and life is agon(y).

I had an interesting find on my walk around London last week. I walked eastwards along the Thames into what is now the banking district but was originally a Roman city. On Wallgate street, Just across from Cannon St (Hmm?) station is the Bloomberg building, and in the basement of that building is a rare surviving relic. A temple to the Roman god Mithras.( Now I know some of your ears will be up at that.) The cult of Mithras was a secret mystery cult that was supposed to have been founded by a god who 'came from beyond the stars' and taught the early Romans farming and governing techniques.
To get to the temple you descend through a room lit up with star constellations, into the temple itself, where there is a re creation of a Roman ritual every hour. It is seriously eerie.
Anyway tin foil hat time, those of you have been reading the Thrawn books will recognise that name, most likely it's Timothy Zahn doing a Tolkien, but to add to it all, the foyer at the moment is filled with a huge star map that looks just like the one from the opening and closing credits of the Ahsoka series (can post a photo).
The head of Mithras sculpture and the plan of the temple are in the British Museum.

The first very obvious archetype I have found is the creator archetype. It classifies as specifically creator of the universe, world and humanity. The following is a list of some creator deities: Yahweh, Phanes, Abassi, Bunjil, Yaldabaoth, Izanami and Izanagi
Yahweh: National god of the Israelites. Unknown origin but thought to have emerged as a divine warrior as he was at first associated with Seir, Edom, Paran and Teman. Worship of his dates back to early Iron age and late bronze age. Shares similarities with the "weather deities" and "war deities" (both of which will likely be featured as other archetypes). Actually was worshipperd in a pantheon with El, Baal and Asherah but in later practices these gods were absorbed into Yahwist religion.
Phanes: Creator god in Orphic cosmology. Said to have emerged from the cosmic egg intertwined with a serpent at the begging of creation. Often equated with Eros or Mithras. It was said that Chronos created the cosmic egg Phanes emerged from which is a bit confusing and means that Chronos technically created the creator of the universe. Phanes is often thought to have been a more androgynous deity. Phanes was considered to be a god of light and goodness who's name means "to bring light" or "to shine"
Abassi: Is the supreme creator god of the Efik, Ibibio and Annang people in Nigeria. Following the arrival of christians in Nigeria Abassi emerged in relation to the christian concept of god. Was said to be an all knowing and all seeing omnipresent figure. Was said to have created humanity but dosen't directly communicate with it instead communicating through a pantheon of spirits called the nedem.
Bunjil: regarded as a culture hero, creator deity and ancestral being in Australian Aboriginal religion and mythology. Most commonly depicted as a wedge tailed eagle. Was considered to be one of two moiety ancestors (with the other one being the crow). Was said to have two wives and a son called Binbeal the rainbow. He is assisted by a group of six Shamans who are supposed to represent the Eaglehawk clans
Yaldabaoth: often called the demiurge is the evil creator god of the material world in gnosticism. Seen as the false god who keeps souls trapped in they're fleshy bodies. In some sectors he is described as a serpent with a lion head. Was birthed by Sophia the personification of wisdom. He received powers of light from his mother however decided to use them for evil. Yaldabaoth decided to create six other angles who then decided to rebel against him. In order to keep them in check he created the material world
Izanami: also called Izanami-no-Mikoto she alongside Izanagi was the creator goddess of theJapanese archipelago in Japanese Shindo religion. She is the shinto mother goddess. She sadly died during childbirth and turned into a absolute monster in the underworld and was left by Izanagi. Izanami was also a goddess of death
Izagami: often can't Izanagi-no-Mikoto was a god of creation and life. Shaped the earth alongside Izanami by using a heavily spear.
that's all the creator deities I want to go over. The creator archetype is definitely one of the more Interesting ones. There are alot of deities I haven't added but who knows maybe I'll add some at a later time.
If you find any mistakes then please comment them :;)

Anahita , the goddess of water ☁️🪷 Anahita is the goddess of all pure waters, liquids, plants, protector of Iranian warriors, love and fertility, protector of babies and mothers. She was one of the most powerful and popular Iranian gods in ancient times. As the population of Iran increased, Anahita's roles also grew. She took on the role of goddesses and gods from neighboring civilization, and even some other Iranian gods became subordinate to her. In the end, Anahita is the goddess of all water, rain, hail, fog, and snow (which you have already seen two of them in my previous paintings). She is served by four horses, and the lotus flower is her symbol. In some stories, Anahita is the mother of Mithra and gave her lotus flower to him. I gave Anahita a motherly role in my story, but not in the sense of fertility, but in the sense of creation. So, Anahita is not the biological mother of all Iranians (even for Mithra, Indar Daena and Ashi) 💙

Mithra the thunder vassal eating the sushi ship
The vassal looked puzzled as she sat atop rumbling thunder cloud gazing down at the bizarre ship that had been dispatched to her location. Normally humans would attempt to drive off the approaching monarch always ending the near godlike elemental being devastating anything in its path on its quest to reduce all creation to nothingness.... The vassals like Mithra aided their respective monarchs and usually traveled a bit ahead heralding their arrival and squashing any pathetic attempts at resistance. But this wasn't a war ship or a ship at all really! It was food? Sushi to be exact and while Mithra had no need for sustenance she found herself drawn to the vessel made of rice.
"Maybe just a taste..." she muttered lowering herself down and stepping onto the bow of the ship. Just a quick bite was all it took to get her hooked. Immediately a little taste became a mouthful, which turned to another and another... Until the vassal was helping herself to the colossal ship stuffing her face with each delicious section working her way across the frame as her belly swelled.
Time passed and she barely made a dent in the ship's size... Looking at the horizon she could see the raging hurricane and electricity of her monarch approaching slowly. "I've got time." She smirked flopping on her back and shoveling another mouthful of sushi into her mouth with glee.
