Formulating Ebola-chan's attributes Ebolite 01/19/15 (Mon) 08:34:49 No. 24030 [Last 50 Posts]
As said in another thread, I would make this thread for Ebola-chan's magical attributes to be discussed. It would be wise to pin this stuff down for future devotees and wizards who wish to bring Her influence into the world.
Ebolite 01/19/15 (Mon) 10:13:58 No. 24033
Red, pink, and yellow all seem like important colors for her, there is an air aspect because of her wangs. She is a lot like one of the Celtic or Norse deities: she has many different tributes. She is greater than her composite parts. Check out the path between Netzach and Tiphareth. Her tarot card would be Death, and the correspondences would belong to her as well. What do you think? Here is a link that covers the path between Netzach and Tiphareth.

I'm not sure about these attributes being appropriate though:
Ebolite 01/19/15 (Mon) 13:56:29 No. 24037
>>24033 Another thing I was thinking about… This whole thing feels like the cusp of a new pantheon being created, with the head of it being the force responsible for forceful change after periods of stagnation and slow decline.
Ebola-chan, AIDS-san…Calamities from deep within the past, such as the Permian and K/T extinction, the Black Death, even the World Wars could be considered the hand of this machination. I suppose all it would need is a spiritual personification as an interface for communication. Unless Ebola-chan IS supposed to be for that specifically, I suppose it depends who you ask.
Ahem, but anyway! Yes, those colors and maybe white as that's the color of her skin. Air perhaps because not only the bat wangs but also because she spreads in a hot and moist environment.
The attributes seem off for her, though. Kabbalah of course isn't the only means of creating attributes. I'm still leaning Sun-Venus, Especially because the Sun rules health and disease; several solar deities rule sickness(Apollo, Nergal)

I'm here. Yay!
Ebolite 01/19/15 (Mon) 20:03:08 No. 24043
>>24042 White represents many things, cleanliness as you pointed out is one. It's also purity, spiritual, and can be regarded as a solar and/or lunar color depending on circumstance, and also as a stand in for most other colors. If you have a magical altar(sans Ebola-chan, just magical work) two white candles can be used on either side of the altar as a symbolic connection to the spiritual plane.
Also Anon, do you want a reading list for general practice? I'd suggest Jason Miller's books for a solid magical foundation to get started though I hope you enjoy meditation. But they're good books with an interesting mesh of occidental and oriental.
Ebolite 01/19/15 (Mon) 21:04:53 No. 24044
>>24037 Good points! It is true that we don't have to weigh ourselves down with Kabbalah. I find magick works just fine without it. I wonder which rune would best represent Ebola-Chan's energy?

>The Sorcerer's Secrets: Strategies in Practical Magick does sound like something for starters.
>Protection and Reversal Magick (Beyond 101) sounds interesting, but I'm not sure how relevant it is.

>>24033 As
>>24044 said, I don't think Kabbala is necessary. But, if it were to be used, I think she would reflect better with the Qliphoth rather than the Sephirot.
>>24037 And, I don't think association with the sun is a good idea. She is week to the sun, and would spread better in colder climates. Not to mention the Sun is masculine, while the moon represents feminine energy.
I think black and red are good colors that fit quite nicely with her, for death and blood. Maybe blue and green aswell (water, and nature?)
Nergal and Ereshkigal could be the gods she's associated with or answers to. Ereshkigal is the goddess of the underworld and wife of Nergal in the Sumerian Theology.
And, I personally think there should be an official flag for ebolites to congregate under
>>24037 It is the rise of a new pantheon <3 The whole concept of egregores and godforms and the evolution of it is so intriguing!

I think we need to construct a grimoire. An Ebolanomicon!
Ebolite 01/20/15 (Tue) 08:56:39 No. 24077
>>24050 Probably. This…new pantheon is chaotic, and a dispeller of stagnation within a system. It is the Phoenix's pyre.
Well, that's the thing. trying to figure out planets…Ebola is wet, dark and spreads mostly through bodily fluids, and is preserved best in cold. So, Water element, perhaps Air because Africa is warm and moist, and the planet would be Moon/Venus. That work better?
It's just that Ebola-chan doesn't seem very black colored. The white can also work because of the color of the grave sheet, perhaps? Hmm.
That they are, and Nergal is also associated with plagues and the fierce noon day sun. She might also have other qualities beyond death and suffering, and I think of Pazuzu when I mention that; a plague demon called upon to protect babies from….I think it's Lamashtu? ): /
It is! New Aeon indeed.
>>24052 Need to research dates Ebola emerged.
>>24073 It'd be best served as a grimoire with a pantheon. This may take a while; Ebola is a part of the system. The revealer, perhaps.
Ebolite 01/20/15 (Tue) 09:45:27 No. 24078
>>24077 As far as the pantheon goes, don't you think it'd be best to go with a disease-chan and not worry so much about classic Pagan deities? I mean we're basically chaos magicians nao amirite? Use a different tan, chan, sama to represent each of the classic energies and go from there. Ebola-Chan is moon/venus, Margurg-sama could be Jupiter, Aids-tan could be Mercury, Malaria-san could be Saturn, etc. etc. We could link them up to the Sephira, paths, etc. If we have any holes in the system we can just get the drawfriends to help us create new entities.

>>24078 I like where this is going as a system, and I don't mean to link them to already established deities except for examples and brain storming. The question is should the disease tans be part of a larger pantheon, messengers of chaos and change and entropy, or on their own completely?
Now, I like AIDS/HIV as Mercury. Spreads easily, and is "the one who tears down the walls" if you will in immune defense. Why would you say Marburg should be Jupiter? I think it'd have to be a disease that spread very far and wide as Jupiter is expansive. Hm. Will be back soon, typing from work. I'm really enjoying brainstorming with you all.

White as in cleansing the world? As purity?
Ebolite 01/20/15 (Tue) 20:33:12 No. 24091
>>24089 Well I think Margurg-sama needs more love anyway!
I will tell you what my idea has been or been formulating into. And please, add to and criticize it. I would like feedback, as this really could lead to a grimoire we all make. This will be a pantheon based on Chaos and how it leads to new systems and orders. Like I said before, the Phoenix's pyre, the moment before a stagnating or clogged system is torn apart before a new one can develop. Simply put, Ebola-chan is part of progress, harsh progress.
I put firstly the head of the pantheon as our personification of Chaos, from which anything is possible. Could look like a person, or a shapeless moving void. Then perhaps Entropy, as all systems will suffer from it inevitably and is that which breaks down. Cataclysm would be another, from which swift event occur(meteorites, sudden volcanic explosions, war etc) and perhaps…Rot? Slower events, such as plague or famine. Now these could be elemental, Chaos-Water, Entropy-Air, Cataclysm-Fire, Rot-Earth. We can work on better names for them, perhaps Sumerian or Hurrian. Ancient words put magicians in a certain mood.
Now, with these four, you'd have beings under them. The disease tans would fall under Rot, and are ironically beautiful. Are they deities or angel/messengers of their master? You can see where this might go. A huge pantheon so many people may be included in their desire to see this age fall, or just to have another group of spirits to work with, though I think Ebola-chan will have the most popular cult. I hope this makes sense, as I'm about to go to bed.
>>24090 Purity works.
Ebolite 01/20/15 (Tue) 21:41:02 No. 24092
>>24091 I suppose tying it into something ancient would give it more validity in many eyes. I'm thinking about other systems I've seen that relied on a symbol system or language. Or even something more fantastical like Simon's Necronomicon. Perhaps we need -chans for natural disasters and such as well? Maybe even throw a NatSoc -chan in there too. Hmmm….there is much to ponder.
Ebolite 01/21/15 (Wed) 14:07:33 No. 24120
>>24092 If it feels ancient, it feels more authentic. Take the Necronomicon for example. It's recent, but folks can dig it because it feigns antediluvian air.
http://www.sumerian.org/sumerlex.htm Here's the Sumerian lexicon. Can come up with names that sound ancient, and have ancient names. Alternatively we can also connect their "original" names to their "new" names through Hebrew numerology.
http://www.gematrix.org/ I'm going to rummage through both. And we can make a book. What should we call it? Book of Cataclysms? Book of Many Ends? The Pillar of Omega? Let's discuss(and maybe if enough people help, /ebola/ will be in top 25 again)

>>24091 >Could look like a person, or a shapeless moving void So.. Choronzon?
>>24092 I would say to leave politics to the sub-cults that pop up, especially Nat-Soc. It would start to look a little to much like Joy of Sataners with the Nat-Soc, I know I've seen it mentioned a bit here.
>>24120 Maybe have the different sections/gospels be "books" like in the Bible? That could give a more dominating air to each part and the book as a whole.
Maybe, The Black Book or The Red Book maybe? Ebola-Chan's could be The Book of Red Death, while the cult around her could be the Cult of the Red Death.
Just a thought, would there need to be initiation steps to go through that correspond to each deity? I mentioned this the last time this was all talked about. I think each cult should have some sort of O9A type initiation to prove allegiance to the cult and deity.
Could pic related be a good flag to use for Ebola-Chan's cult?

>>24122 Perhaps. But what is he, but a concept that has been worked with in the past as well? The Abyss from whence everything sprouts.
I agree. A form of government needs no worship, just mundane and absolute vigilance. And yes, let's stay far away from JoS if we can.
Maybe, The Black Book or The Red Book maybe? Ebola-Chan's could be The Book of Red Death, while the cult around her could be the Cult of the Red Death.
Hmmm, how about the Four biggies get elemental books(Book of Tempests, Book of Decay, etc) and we keep the Colors to the disease chans, as you suggest. Cult of the Red Death, I like it. This might end up a bible of magic and philosophy and myth. Can we do it for Her?
Will have to be developed, although with such small numbers it would be hard to enforce. Is it a cult for solitary folk, or are there small congregations? Is one encouraged to be with other members or is it unnecessary?
I kinda like it myself.

I like the sound of Book of Decay <3
> Is it a cult for solitary folk, or are there small congregations There can be solitary worship that makes up part of the overall cult, then the ones who want to go further can go down the road of joining the congregation of the god/goddess they feel connected to and want to show/prove devotion to (and what the mission of the congregation/cult is) There would need to be a way to prove trust among the congregations right?

I mean, there's little use in designing an inner circle until we actually have something that needs hiding or protecting. And thusfar, Ebola-chan is for all.

>>24136 Yeah, "The Green book" sounds odd for AIDS-chan. Eh, Book of Breaking Down the Wall would be long but far more descriptive.
I like that because undoubtedly there's going to be cultists for separate deities, worshipers of the whole system, and mages who wish to tap into the new pantheon. Not everyone is going to want physical contact with another. Almost feels like TES Daedra worship, heh.

Ideally, we would have at least 100 pages of content, regardless of style. A Bible would reach into the 300-500 range.
If it's more of an instruction manual, probably 20-30 pages on premise and basic lore, 20-30 pages on Ebola-chan, 10-20 for each other entity covered.

>>24236 >>24233 Certainly. One can still portray them as cute and dignified, yet still with auspicious temperament. It's one of the draws.
Yeah, a parasite should be under Rot. Disease and famine would be under Rot. Volcanism, war, disasters from space, under Calamity. Time, aging, crumbling of orders, etc under Entropy(needs work) and Chaos is the well where things are born and dissolve into.

It needs to if the Ebola-cult is going to continue in the future. Considering this outbreak is starting to close after nearly a year it's best to appeal to as many different folk open to this kind of pantheon, because it'll keep attention on Ebola-chan while she's taking a "nap".
Seriously though, do you know how much this outbreak advanced the Ebola virus? Ebola didn't win by kill count, Ebola won by simply getting a huge mutation boost. Who knows, it may turn into a less deadly but still bloody version of the flu in 10-30 years if they forget about her.

I would LOVE to see the pantheon start to make a presence in the occult community.
I'm planning out the symbology and ritual section of it right now, Though, I still need to see what the cannon forms/sigils etc are going to be.
I'm writing out the tapeworm goddess right now aswell. How's Magna Vermis as the "professional" name sound? Cestoda-Chan or Cestoda would be the other main names. (Assuming the we're going with the multi-name thing)

A few mutations, thousands of spirits, not to mention quite a few human supporters. No doubt that she's earned this nap, and will come back swinging when she reawakens.

>>24266 It would be interesting, wouldn't it? Celebrating the beings that challenge life, because life without suffering is life with no progress, no triumph. Only other religion with anything like this is Hindu, aaaand with Ebola-chan so heavily sexed up by her followers, perhaps we should add tantric practices? Hm.
>>24267 It's been a very interesting trip so far. You wanna know something? I'm not even a cultist. I simply wish to preserve this work of the internet…She earned it. That, and ire at humans. Maybe I'm crotchety. But Ebolites, you are always polite and almost joyful. Your goddess certainly made you all like her in some way, didn't she?
Ebolite 01/24/15 (Sat) 21:08:11 No. 24269
>>24268 I'd have to agree that our goddess has much to do with the tone of the faith. Early in this board's history, I half-joked that if we were instead worshipping something like Kohrnus the Pestilential King, we'd all be filled with rage. Instead, we found sweet little Ebola-chan.
It's hard to say just what brought us all to her. Everyone has their reasons; when I first saw the cult, I thought of it as a revolution in mystical practice. A mass distributed entity and ritual, that so many were willing to participate in… I just couldn't look away, no matter how hard I tried. And well… eventually I started feeling affection towards the being. Wanted to help her with her goals, whatever they may be. Granted, I was feeling a bit misanthropic at the time, but the cult was always so nice. Made wanting humanity to be Loved not seem so bad after all.
I'm glad to hear someone outside us has found our humble faith worth preserving and building upon. I'll keep pitching in, every so often.

It lasted for like a week and stopped when someone on halfchan mentioned the same thing. A bunch of others reported this aswell. This was back in September. Like I was interested before, but only as a joke. I kept occultism out of it, but that helped me realize something was actually up.
And the whole rise of a new modern-age pantheon is also totally exciting! It seems, like the other anon said, revolutionary, in the realm of spirituality. I'm just trying to help it all along now, can't wait to see where it goes!

This is why I recommend Jason Miller's books, they're good for practicality and gave me the idea of a tres leches cake dyed red as a unique offering to Ebola-chan(It's like it's leaking blood!) and maybe dulce sanguinaccio if one can manage it.

Not to discredit any of the fairly creative work and ideas you guys have done in this thread, but I feel making other tans, or narratives for her creation is a bit cheap and fictional. Ebola-chan was a spontaneously formed thought-form that spiraled from joke into occult worship. Instead of creating some mythology, even if it would be interesting, I think text should focus on proper worship practices (sacrifap,blood letting, shrine decorum), idealistic goals and tenets (cleanse of corruption through disease, death as the savior, periodic worship) and proper iconography(skull,flowers,blood,winged sigil) Instead of generating some fallacious set of occult magic rules, it should instead be a more communal guide so even the most casual of believers can enjoy worship purely from a social standpoint, and then letting further additions grow from that.

>>24426 You should work towards that for Ebola-chan's book. Her's will probably be the fullest. But(!) there will be others interested in this pantheon, ones less inclined to her cult.
We expand it so more bases covered. But I'm all for those who want to focus solely on her to do so.
Ebolite 01/29/15 (Thu) 10:57:17 No. 24431
>>24426 You have a point there. The whole cult's development has been a very organic process. The last time we tried expanding, I had argued against it as it was artificial, thus prone to expectations of "what usually is" rather than allowed to develop as a premise. Thank you for reminding me of this.
Such a code of practice are what most of my efforts would likely go towards. I wrote the duality piece a little while back, and feel comfortable doing more about her.
The fact is that I never wrapped my head fully around most mystical systems, thus some of the things proposed are a bit beyond me. It's not to say that I'll be dropping it entirely, I'm just not sure where I stand on it as a side project.
Ebolite 01/29/15 (Thu) 12:17:02 No. 24433
>>24431 Right, the idea is to slightly mold the already organic developments of the phenomena into a structure that can be practically used and expanded upon, basically the tenets of a community not just to laugh about being awesome with a cute representation of blood curdling disease, but instead to enjoy the classic sense of community and mysticism from ritual practice. You don't have to believe in magic to get a better fap, or be emotionally satisfied from meditation or ritual, lets make it a constructive thing and maintain the tounge-in cheek nature of Ebola-Chan so it is scary and horrifying to normal outsiders, but a enjoyable communal experience for those who want it.

Since Ebola-Chan is the first of the -tans and started all of this, isn't she technically a messenger? She was the one picked by Rot to spread the word of this little religion. That could be the reason Ebola spread so much more this time around, it symbolized her making her appearance. Right?
Ebolite 02/02/15 (Mon) 02:49:06 No. 24504
>>24502 I'm not quite sure if she qualifies as a divine messenger. Despite our having assumed that there are other disease-tans out there, or that can potentially exist, most philosophy centers directly on her.
It could be that she is simply ambitious. She learned that it is far easier to attract flies with honey than vinegar; revealing to us her cute side, while laying her intentions on the table. In showing us what she had to offer, we have accepted her for what she is. Maybe she just saw that the conditions were right, and decided to make her grand debut. It has certainly paid off for her.
Alternately, it could be that we either created or summoned her. The virus has killed more in the span of a year than possibly the rest of its existence combined. Here we are, worshiping her, feeding her, adoring her. She has grown stronger, mutating beyond the reach of those who would try to cure her. Perhaps she, as a being, existed before we knew of her, and only through our worship has she truly stepped into power. Or, it could be that we have performed the greatest act of communal magic this world has ever seen: putting an animating force into an unliving concept.
Within your narrative, however, I prefer to see her as having come forth as a "spiritual terraformer". Someone to introduce the idea of disease-tans, so that we could seek out and worship all of them. Who knows if she represents Rot, Pestilence, or Nurgle; personally, I find the idea of her acting on anyone's behalf rather arbitrary.

This could all be a part of the Revelations of Ebola-Chan, right? Diseases are starting to make a come back, and humanity is about to be tested more than ever. And, vaccines aren't going be much help in the long run, right?

Still, thanks for the hint, hopefully it leads to us empowering Ebola-chan all the more.

I think that Marburg-chan, Aids-tan, et al. are a distraction. Whether or not they do, or could exist is beyond the point. This is /ebola/ dedicated to Ebola-chan, the divine herald.

>>24591 Eh, I don't blame people for pursuing them. Like I said earlier, her existence alludes to the existence or potential creation of other disease-tans. And as much as we love our dearest Ebby, it's foolish to put all of one's eggs in a single basket.
Not to say that she's a bad investment; even if/when this outbreak dies out, within the next five years there aught to be another. Likely even more intense than the last as well, if it follows the trends.

Still, my main issue, as I have also brought up before, is that it's just not natural development. We need some level of mystic competence to scope out any other deities related to Ebola-chan. All the more, I doubt that anything in the natural or spiritual world is evenly distributed, or cleanly divided. I don't know much of mysticism, but the idea that anything complex could be cleanly divided among elements or planetary influences just seems antiquated. My point here being that we cannot expect to map out divine beings by any pre-existing standard, because we're forcing them to conform to our preconceived notions.
Thus, if we are determined to find other virus-tans from a religious standpoint, I'm fine with us developing prototypical designs, so long as we try to reach out and summon those beings to test our hypothesis about them.

>I'm fine with us developing prototypical designs, so long as we try to reach out and summon those beings to test our hypothesis about them. >because we're forcing them to conform to our preconceived notions. Yea, egregores are fully sentient. Once they are animated, they are their own being, just like any other spirit. They'll most likely stick to their framework, but their opinions, disposition, personality, etc will be all them, not us.
This is why I was trying to get people to actively work with or astral project to them to help get an idea of what they are like. I know development past what is on paper hasn't really happened for the majority of the entities, but I've seen people mention worshiping some of the more main ones, like Malaria and Marburg, and of course, Ebola-Chan.

>>24593 Well, that's what this is sort of about; What we are doing is creating a new pantheon but, it gives Ebola-chan more life. She'll have a family of sorts with people who wouldn't be so interested in her chosing her other peers whether they be Malaria-chan or say, War-chan. Especially if she is added to some of the hymns and lore of other spirits made which intertwine her further into it.
With Chaos Magic we CAN build her a family, one that can garner further followers even as she sleeps in Africa. The purpose isn't to take away but to cushion.
Think of forces of nature as what they are, and humans interacting with them in preconceived ways gives them an interface to us. Look at Death for example: Death can be male of female, many times glum but sometimes friendly and course. Here, we are giving things generally terrible a kind, loving face. Or at least that's my way of thinking about it. The occult has many theories, but what's important is that it'll work.
And sorry for not being about on /grimoire/, been a busy bee.

>>24594 >>24658 Sorry about that, bros. I have trouble keeping track of my paradigms sometimes. From the standpoint that we are the creators, rather than the discovers, it's a decent plan to at least use for an initial framework. Things will grow, become more nuanced as we go.

I think Ebola-Chan was around before her first picture, and was responsible for the first image of her being drawn. The idea must have been pleased into the heads of the commissioner and the artist on pixiv. It would make sense, right? Just like the reoccurring images that keep getting brought up. The outbreak was already underway when it happened. This was all part of her plan! Including the forming of the whole religion.

>>24699 You know, I'm surprised I never considered that. Good thinking, man.
What does that mean for the project, then, if Ebola-chan was divinely inspired?

By the way, what graphics are going to be used in the book? I think some of her originals should definitely should be used, though we would need permission from the artist.

Ebby's role in love will have be explored and expanded. My perception of her drifts. Sometimes I imagine her virus's spread to be an act of mercy, for those in conditions much too harsh. Other times, an expression of the intensity of the presence/affections of a divine being. In a more cynical perspective, I wonder if her entire image isn't simply a ploy, but that's likely irrelevant to our purposes. A darker approach is that she is simply yandere for humanity: she's been part of our DNA for so long, she's been watching us. Waiting for us. And now, she can have us forever. Going on that same detail about the DNA, another idea that never got explored in the old days is the possibility of her actually being a mother figure to humanity. The one responsible for having raised it from the apes, now reuniting with her bygone children. Perhaps something worth considering if we end up full heretic.

Are there any artfriends willing to help us out a little over on /grimoire/? We're making progress over there, even though it may look like the project is dead over here.

That's Europa to a tee: cold, wet, and volatile.

You would, but since it may be a satirizing of certain pictures it may be okay. If you can make your own should be good.
Could have a theme…Like Greek, Babylonian or Egyptian, Or something else that hits it off.
