"We are animals; we are awakened beasts. We are born into the realm of our existence . . . and through an entropic downward spiral, is our consciousness released once again into the Earth. Being Awakened, we have tapped into the now hidden power of what it is to be an extremely intelligent creature. Being beasts, we have natural wills and lusts. We must feed; we control territory; we lust for sensual pleasure, and die somewhere along the path, rarely free of pain. Many others that share our existence on the world attempt, whether knowingly or not, to weaken and destroy what it truly is to be human. We wage war against that treason. They outnumber us . . . but we are stronger. Although an adaptive body must house our being, more importantly must a strong mind exist in the human that wishes to prevail. We will not actively search out others to join our ranks, for not each person of our beliefs need enter a group, and not each human that trudges the Earth's soil is worthy of our enshadowing. Those that can learn from being around others of their nature will find us . . . eventually, if they see fit to do so."
We are the Luciferion Justikum! We embrace nature and technology, as they are coupled beyond hope of separation. We believe in facts. We worship ourselves as humans. We trust in evolution. We are scientists; we are witches; we are mystics; we are everywhere. Our ranks are made up of Awakened evolutionists that want to make a change, physically. Our magick is fierce and dark. Our hate has raged for centuries. The Celts, our pagan forefathers, destroyed, by the Church. The Vikings, sent to their symbolic Valhalla, by the same. The American Indians, the South American Tribes and the Aborigines, all. The list is endless. There is a source to our pain. Looking to the future, we need technology and nature to survive the death of our sun. Everything after the explosion that started our universe, can be explained through the all powerful truths of selection: Darwin's find of a lifetime, Anton Lavey's tool of influence, evolution. Unfortunately, the weak-minded fools of our modern world are working against our potential. The weak are able to survive as long as the strong and have offspring. We, above those ways, through symbols, speaking the ancient tongues, associate ourselves with the enemy of God. Our theatricals serve to focus the playful human mind and provoke the enemy. Lucifer is the symbol of that enemy. There is no devil below the ground as the Chorus claims. We do not worship anything except ourselves. Through symbolism, True Magick, and strength, we will prevail. Join the struggle! Take hold of Satan's reins! Lead the inborn power in you that society calls evil! Be EVIL! Spit at the face that slaps you, do not turn the other cheek! Wear your pentagram with pride as you know it sends fear into those who would defy us! The war has begun! (cut)
Celestial Chorus: Our arch-enemies. These weak-minded fools lower themselves below a creator and daily turn their backs on our human past. They, and other sleepers of their beliefs, must be destroyed.
Cult of Ecstasy: Why must so many good things be ruined with passiveness? Their beliefs in indulgence and pleasure parallel with ours. If only they could reach the other half of human nature.
Dreamspeakers: Many of the ancestors of these mystics are those whom we show the utmost top respect. Why must they mingle with and serve the people who destroyed their past? They need a good history lesson.
Euthanatos: Many put us in their category, but key facts separate us. Death is the essence of life, and vice versa. Why not accept it, respect it, but realize there is no afterlife? Some of us came from their ranks, once the lies were washed away.
Verbena: The dryads of the past are indeed worthy people. Most do not respect us, unfortunately, for they cannot accept the motion of technology. They need to learn how the mistakes of humans are too great for nature alone to cure. How will they deal with the death of our star? We must leave the galaxy one day if we wish to survive. One must, in our case, fight fire with fire.
Order of Hermes: Dreamers who put too much faith in the sky, not where their feet walk each day. The stars do have influence, but we are the prime changers of our lives in this world.
Sons of Ether: These pioneers of technology are on the right track, but their passiveness holds them down. Why not create more devices to aid the warrior?
Virtual Adepts: They have Awakened themselves through the modern womb. Their knowledge and experiments in VR could be of great help to one of our kind. Science will not cease its stampede. We must embrace its changes, but not forget our flesh. They need to moderate their usage.
Hollow Ones: These forsaken children are where most of the Justikum's ranks come from. They will find us in their own time.
