In the Temple of the Inner Night
Two snakes coil around the Tree of Being.
One is as black as obsidian, her eyes sharp with hunger.
The other is white as starlight, her gaze soft with memory.
But both drink from the same root.
The dark snake hisses:
"I am the mirror of power. I guard the gates of survival."
Narcissism is their glass crown,
Machiavellianism, their silver tongue
Psychopathy, their heart of ice.
She teaches the mastery of the shadow,
But its poison blinds those who drink too much of it.
The Serpent of Light whispers:
"I am the flame of reunification. I guard the path of return."
Kantianism is their golden law,
Humanism, its rose scent,
Faith is their cup of trust.
She teaches the song of mercy,
But its nectar throws those off balance who forget their judgment.
Between them stands the seeker,
In one hand a mirror, in the other a flame.
The snakes are not fighting each other,
for they are twin guardians of the same threshold.
The hidden teaching is:
To wear the glass crown and not break it,
to speak with a silver tongue and not to deceive,
to touch the heart of ice and not freeze –
This is the initiation into the shadows.
To drink from the cup of trust without being naive,
to breathe in the roses without losing vigilance,
to bear the law of gold without pride –
This is the initiation into the light.
When the two snakes twist into one,
They form the ouroboros,
the circle of wholeness.
Then the seeker becomes the bridge,
and the once divided human heart
It shines like a sun between darkness and stars.
More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
