A rare original post from me. I have been reading the works of Jung and his pupils for the past couple of months, and much of it has resonated with me. Since my early years, I have looked at my surroundings through an allegorical and oftentimes mystical lens, and now it's all starting to come together. But that isn't why I'm sharing this. As I was reading it, I recognized the passages I highlighted as the inspiration for the lyrics to Tribulation's song, "Cries from the Underworld".

the Lord Jesus is coming quickly!

"For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air." (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

Jesus, the Son of God, gave His life and shed His blood for the payment of your sins. by acknowledging your sinful nature, and trusting in Him as the only means of salvation, you're included in this event! For Jesus promised in John 14:2-3, "There are many rooms in My Father's house (..) I go to prepare a place for you (..) When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so you will always be with Me where I am."

God poured out His wrath for our sins onto Jesus' body on the cross; once and for all time (Hebrews 9:28). Therefore we the Church, as the Body of Christ, cannot be here to experience God's Wrath again (1 Thessalonians 5:9). the Tribulation that is coming is the time of God's Wrath; a testing period for those still covered by their sin (Isaiah 26:20-21). but He promised He would take His followers out of the way before it comes (Revelation 3:10). we will be taken to the safe places He has prepared for us.

the time is much sooner that you think! please turn to the Lord while there is still time, He loves you and has done EVERYTHING necessary to provide salvation for you. the Tribulation will be the worst time in human history, and God desires that no one go through it. listen to the still, small Voice that is calling you to repentance. He is calling you home!

If you could only listen to music from one country from now on, which country would you choose and why is it Sweden?

But George having a happy normal childhood is a very important aspect of his personality and how he was impacted because his tragic backstory is literally being a Beatle.

The others already had major life changing events before being famous that formed their core personalities. George didn't have anything like that to prepare him so the impact of the Beatlemania hit him differently than it did to John, Paul and Ringo.

He went from being the baby of a family full of love to being exposed to the whole world. That's why he was the one who changed the most in a short amount of time.

I think being a Jewish Ghost fan is super funny.

because like yeah I also have religious trauma but not That religious trauma.

And I am googling symbolism and references more often than I would like to admit.

And Im not dressing like a sister of sin at rituals because dressing like a nun feels weird.

And like Respite came on shuffle while I was cooking dinner last night and my dad came in very concerned that I was listening to catholic rock because he heard “Jesus”.

A history of a story in the making

Since October of 2018, I have been weaving a vampire tale, titled Nightbound. I wrote an early incarnation of the story then, inspired heavily by Tribulation's song of the same name. Its premise is simplistic — telling as it does of a vampire seeking out its prey — and the story has its flaws, but I must say that I am far from ashamed of it. Since then, I've tried to write it under several different names, using several different inspirations. One of its earlier incarnations, I wrote during the height of COVID-19. Unbeknownst to me, I ended up ripping off the video game Vampyr, and under the title Unclean. Unclean concerned a young nurse named Alicia (loosely named after someone I met in college and thought of pursuing a relationship with, but didn't, and after a while, she just disappeared), who was recently turned and began using her blood to "cure" patients of COVID, which, of course, transformed them. It would lead to a war between her and militant religious zealots and an elder vampire and his hordes.

The next attempt, I returned to the title of Nightbound, where she would have squared her off against a gang of neo-Nazis, led by a vampiric white supremacist from the Old West, who ended up being too cartoonish and over-the-top in his backstory for my liking. Yet another iteration, inspired by my reading of Underworld: A Practical Guide to Necromancy, featured Alicia (who I at one point renamed Aria) as a young necromantic witch who entered a graveyard and performed a ritual to enter the underworld, where she released a vampire's spirit that had been lurking there. This same spirit would go on to kill her roommate but leave her alive. She'd check herself into a mental hospital, where the vampire would kill everyone and turn her at the end.

My second to last (or should I say, second to current) effort retained the underworld element, which is actually something of a relic from the prime incarnation. I gave it the subtitle of "A Necromantic Tale of Horror". It would take place in — where else — nineteenth century Romania on St. Andrew's Feast. Our now nameless anti-heroine would make her way through a village in Transylvania, where she'd meet up with the mother of an aspiring necromancer, to whom she would recount her tale, before mercy killing the old woman before some angry villagers could find her and burn her alive, and making her way to a shrine where she would find true immortality. I also had a whole plethora of lore behind vampirism and its different strains.

Finally, my current attempt to weave this fable drops the subtitle, but retains most of the elements from the previous one. Our heroine remains nameless and resides in lands unknown, but perhaps is at her darkest in both her history and her willingness to make certain sacrifices. She once was a beautiful and kind woman, who was so unlike her father, a cruel and iron-fisted feudal lord. When her father caught her in bed with a peasant, he sent her off to his sister, a wicked countess with a vile taste for torturing young virgin girls, and whose deplorable husband would "protect" her under certain degrading conditions, until she was one day found out by the countess. If you suspect that their family name is "Bathory" or "Tepes", I can assure you that it is not, nor are they vampires. The countess would take her to the outskirts of the village to offer her as a sacrifice to the vampire rumored to reside there, in the hopes of being granted immortality. But the vampire is disgusted by the couple and their inability to comprehend what he could truly desire, and grants them a painful death as a reward, ultimately taking the young woman under his wing. And thus begins the death of her flesh, her journey into the underworld, her rebirth as a demonic spirit hungry for life, and her quest to perfect her condition. I have said more than enough already, and shall leave it to the reader to discover how this tale will end.

While my latest effort does, indeed, take heavily from the music of Tribulation, it also derives from the concepts explored in their lyrics. Specifically, the process of individuation, and the stages of the alchemical magnum opus. In previous attempts, I may have been a little too unsubtle in my symbolism, and too openly derivative of other tales of gothic horror and vampirism. While those remain an influence, I am attempting to dig deeper. To write from the soul. To explore vampirism not as a metaphor for class warfare or for sexual perversion (although the latter does play somewhat of a role in this draft), but as a symbol for necromantic and alchemical empowerment.
