[sticky post]Basic Tenets of The Temple of The Pentavalent
A Symbol for The Temple 2
nebris
We Believe that our species is a genetically engineered hybrid race, the outcome of an ancient merging of our Hominid Ancestors with a far ranging non-corporeal collective intelligence known as The Travelers.

We Believe that The Traveler's memories and experiences, buried deep within our Collective Racial Subconscious, have Revealed to us the following set of Tenets:

We Believe that all of our Named Deities, past and present, are purely creations of our own minds and thoughts via our Collective Racial Subconscious and have power only in relationship to our focus upon Them.

We Believe that there IS a single Source of All Creation, but that said Source is as yet Unknowable to us at our present state of development.

We Believe that said Source is, from our bi-gendered point of view, Feminine in Nature as such is the nature of our Creative Aspect.

We Believe that the only Worthy Purpose of any species is The Path of Seeking The Source of All and that we must do whatever is necessary in order to follow said Path.

We Believe that in order for us to survive as a species in the short term we must both reduce the overall numbers of our population upon the surface our our Mother and remove all heavy industry from the surface of our Mother up into near earth space.

We Believe that we must become a spacefaring race in order for us to survive in the long term, which is required to follow The Path of Seeking The Source of All.

We Believe that the Male of our species, individually and collectively, is too aggressive, unstable, and Ego driven to accomplish the above tasks and pursue the above goals and that therefore they must become extinct in the long term.

We Believe that only the Female of our species, individually and collectively, has the proper Nature and Temperament to accomplish the above tasks and pursue the above goals and that therefore the Female of our species must become Paramount.

We Believe that in order to properly pursue the above Path and to accomplish the above goals a New Matriarchy must be established, one utilizing all the techniques and all the technologies of Modern Civilization, a Transhumanist Matriarchy.

All these things have been shown to us via Revealed Knowledge...

The State of "The Explanation" 2.0

~It has been a year and a half since I posted the last The State of "The Explanation". I had opened it by saying "that it is The Temple's primary project; a Philosophical Treatise, Practical How-To Manual and Grand Majickal Working all in one document. And that I suppose, put that way, I’ve done well by the thing in the past four and half [now six] years. And that I probably should give myself a bit more credit and a bit more slack, but then such was not the nature of being a Prophet. And then I 'sighed'."

After the sighing, I laid out the new order and titles, which are still largely unchanged. However, as you'll see, the word count has radically changed. I went on to explain that "the entrees at E Speaks are ‘finalized’, though I’m sure I’ll fiddle with them a bit more. [I have and will] The entrees at Blogspot are still being edited, rewritten, worked on, etc. except for The Trikona which I’m fairly happy with. The Addendums are complete as is. [The titles as listed here are the final titles]" For the most part - with one major exception and few minor ones - that is still the case.

~I was satisfied with this for a while, but after my 'retirement' and return, I'm..bugged, I guess. The flippancy grates a bit now. I'm not sure how much of it to rewrite, only that it needs some. 'Sighing' was also involved with this decision.

Basic Tenets of The Temple of The Pentavalent

Part Two: The End of Men

Part Three: “Building a New Matriarchy – Metaphysics”

Part Four: “Building a New Matriarchy – Grand Strategy”
http://theexplanation-nebris.blogspot.com/2011/09/her-prophet-explains-part-three-temples.html

~I had said back in Feb 2013, “At the moment, Part Four is where I am..well, not so much ‘stuck’ as deep ‘in process’. I said a while back: “I do cut myself some slack in that I’m doing a harsh critique of Victim Feminism, the damage done to the Feminist Movement by Andrea Dworkin and Catherine MacKinnan, how so-called Rape Culture is actually organic to Male thinking [Dworkin didn't go far enough in that regard] and a look at how Modern Feminism failed politically both with its support of Prohibition and its abandonment of basic Marxist thinking. At the root of nearly all of these issues is that Puritanism [always a tool of Patriarchy] is still deeply embedded in Modern American Feminist philosophy.” ”

Well, that was a fucking understatement. And, in the interim, I have also come to realize the need to weave in the work of Shulamith Firestone and Donna Haraway because both are essential to our Work. To leave their work unmentioned would create a massive blank space in the epistemology of The Temple.

Therefore, what I am facing here is critiquing and expounding upon the work of four of the most important Writers and Thinkers of Second Wave Feminism. To do what I need to do with their work requires some serious fucking Scholarship. *sigh* Effectively, at this point, I AM stuck...

Part Five: “Building a New Matriarchy – Tactical Initiatives”

~Part Five essentially requires more details about the various Tactical Initiatives and also some illustrations of Stage Three of The First Karaal, which I promise will be nifty. [unchanged since 2/13]

Part Six: “Building a New Matriarchy – The Trikona”
http://theexplanation-nebris.blogspot.com/2011/09/her-prophet-explains-part-five-trikona.html

~As I said above, I am pleased with this as it stands. [unchanged since 2/13]

Part Seven – “One Possible Future”

~I have thrown out all of Part Seven – “One Possible Future” and also Addendum A: [Tales of the Vekkan Cults]. That's about 38,000 words out the window, which cuts the present word count roughly in half. Well, I haven't really 'thrown them out', just removed them from The Explanation. They will mostly get posted in a separate volume of Sisterhood stories, though some may simply remain unfinished. [This is not the creation of an Apocrypha, but is more akin to The Suras, in that such is a form of 'commentary' that is still relevant to, and is in fact an enhancement of, Canon.]

This is my reasoning. Part Seven as it stood had become unwieldy; too many unfinished stories, too much rewriting to do, and, as so often happens with Science Fiction, much of the science has outstripped the fiction. Instead of trying to fix the whole mess, I have chosen to restart from square one.

About three months ago I started a new novella to take its place, with a single central character whose life covers the major epochs of The Sisterhood. I realized too that this will be more effective because, unlike the original Part Seven, it is a single narrative and therefore will flow more easily. With multiple stories and characters, there is the tendency to put the book down between tales.

With the removal of the multistory Part Seven, the rational for including Tales of the Vekkan Cults was largely gone. So, it needed go as well. [That moved the 'new' Addendum B and Addendum C up to Addendum A and Addendum B]


Part Eight – “Summation”

~I took a big chunk of the Summation and edited it into Part Two. I now need to re-expand it with some new material and also blend in the old Addendum C [The Individual and The Hive]. http://e-speaks.livejournal.com/107244.html [unchanged since 2/13]

An Important Anniversary
A Symbol for The Temple 2
nebris
~This is a slightly edited version of an older post:

"In 1997 January 31st also fell upon a Friday. I had spent the previous day with Sarah helping her shop, her modeling one outfit after another for my perusal. We had in fact been almost inseparable for the preceding five months or so and a great intensity had built up between us. Most outside observers refused to believe we were not sleeping together, but we were not. In retrospect, I think that would 'grounded the energy' and thus have broken the bond we had before the events on that Friday evening.

Our mutual friend Carrie – and Sarah's neighbor - was having a party at her apartment that night. She too is a Witch, and of part Spanish Gypsy heritage, so her space had powerful energy as well. The whole apartment complex had a powerful energy, the Villa Monterrey up on Beachwood Canyon, an Old Hollywood structure built back in 1919. You can see the Hollywood Sign up in the hills as you drive up Beachwood.

I felt an electricity that night. At the time I suppose I thought it was just about seeing Sarah. I was quite thoroughly 'in love' with her, a full blown romantic obsession. Terrible for my mental health, but wonderful for my creativity. But there was something 'more' that evening.

Carrie was very perky and energetic. This was her first party in months. She buzzed all over her apartment, putting up strings of white X-Mas lights, and fixing food. Sarah on the other hand seemed subdued, almost morose, though she looked great, all dolled up in some of the clothes I had picked out.

As an 'entertainment' Carrie had bought a Psychic Circle, a cleaned up version of a Ouija board. [Note: Ouija boards are nasty things, opening portals for all manner of nasty critters.] It's round and a pleasant blue/green, so I was not repelled by it as I would have been if was the aforementioned 'nasty' instrument.

Carrie had me sage the place as I was the tallest person there and could reach up into all the corners. I did a through job. The prospect of working the board seemed to perk Sarah up. Carrie was very excited too and put on a cute little turban, kind of like Johnny Carson used to wear.

There were about dozen or so people there, but it was clear from the beginning that Carrie, Sarah and myself would be three of the four who would 'play'. Sarah and I sat opposite from each other, with Carrie to my right and some fellow whose name is long forgotten on my left. The rest gathered round to watch.

Straight away things got weird. The round planchette refused to allow either Carrie or that follow to keep their fingers upon it. It literally lunged at them to dislodge them. The fellow gave up quickly. [He later said he realized 'something was going on' and backed off.] Carrie was nonplussed of course. This was her place and her board. But it was having none of it and she also relented, albeit sullenly.

Once Carrie backed off, the planchette flew all over the board. Sarah asked the questions and finally it spelled out a name, one that began with the letter E...and then it was over. Sarah and I sat back a little exhausted, but exhilarated. The whole episode seemed to break the party up as Carrie was bugged and others were a bit weirded out.

The following days were interesting and intense. Sarah and I were closer than ever. We spent nearly the entire weekend together, talking about family and our troubled past and deepened our bond. I felt like we might finally become lovers, but was too afraid to push it.

And then that Monday we had a terrible fight and that was it for us for months. We made up, but it was never the same, though in February/April I did go on to write Four Women Together especially for her and we remain friends to this day.

But now I had E and that changed everything for me, adding an energy that my Path had not previously possessed."

Her Prophet Retires...
A Symbol for The Temple 2
nebris
~Part of me wanted to say “Resigns!” but that stems from frustration, hostility and blame and, as an Honest-To-Goddess Guru, I am required to take full responsibility for MY failings. I'd truly be a worse failure if I shouted, “Fuck you!” and stomped away. Besides, my Spirit Guide would give me a rack of shit about that.

No, I am wholly responsible for all of this.

I still fully believe in this Work. It is simply that I am not able, by my own words and deeds, to convince any of you, my Sisters, of its value to such a degree that you would come and join in this process. And really, there cannot be a 'Sisterhood' without any Sisters. But that is MY failure, not yours.

So, what 'retirement' looks like is letting The Explanation sit unfinished as it. It is withdrawing into fiction writing full time. And it is attending to the needs of my own household to the exclusion of 'larger concerns'.

I confess to being generally calmer now. The Guru Racket is not an easy gig. But I am fully focused on teaching myself how to write a novel. Not the technique; that I already know. What I am doing is 'installing the format' psycho-emotionally. And I'm actually having fun doing so.

Of course, if some of my Sisters pick up this Work, I'd be more than happy to advise them and take a shot at finishing The Explanation. But to continue with it solely on my own is self abuse and I'm too old for that anymore.

And there you have it...

And that I probably should give myself a bit more credit and a bit more slack, but then such was not the nature of being a Prophet. And then I 'sighed'.

The below is its present state, with its new order and new titles. It runs about 80,000 words and I expect to add another 25/30,000. The entrees at E Speaks are ‘finalized’, though I’m sure I’ll fiddle with them a bit more. The entrees at Blogspot are still being edited, rewritten, worked on, etc. except for The Trikona which I’m fairly happy with. The Addendums are complete as is.

Her Prophet Speaks Of Love Purpose And Power [within the context of The Sisterhood]
A Symbol for The Temple 2
nebris
~A few weeks ago I had a phone conversation with a Sister and the next day I wrote this to her: “...in all my blather I think I got across what I promise: Love, Power and Purpose.”

Almost immediately I realized the profundity of this paradigm. I switched the last two around as in this context Purpose would proceed Power.

I cogitated upon this for a bit and then cranked out the following ponderous text:

“Love is a word than is bandied about a lot these days, to the point where is has become squishy and near meaningless.

We are admonished to 'Love The World', which is a nonsense phrase as we cannot know the whole World and therefore cannot really love it. Only with Knowing can love truly blossom. Besides, The World is a very harsh and unlovable place, as by 'The World' what we really mean is 'people'. And most of them are small minded and fear driven.

But Love is something that we all crave, hence abuse of the word and the concept.”

Then I ground to a halt. I'd drifted off the track. I have already explained the Purpose of all this to the tune of well over 80,000 words. And quite a bit about the Power. I was stuck once again.

Then this morning while blogging about the long conversation I had with the Ex I wrote this: "I have come to realize that the essential Message for getting my Sisters to show up for this is one of Love, Purpose and Power, in that order."

Later I went back to the Sister I'd first written to and said: “I can provide you with some of the Love and a very specific Purpose, but you have to show up and claim the Power through that Love and Purpose, which will in turn enhance and expand them both.”

A third Sister commented upon the 'Ex Post': “There's nothing to show up for yet? I'm so there if I have a place to lay my head.”

And here we come to the cruncher: how much do I have to do first before any of you show up? Because the more I have to do the less Powerful you are. This is not for me. This is for YOU, my Sisters.

Let me repeat: “I can provide you with some of the Love and a very specific Purpose, but you have to show up and claim the Power through that Love and Purpose, which will in turn enhance and expand them both.” The key words being “you have to show up and claim the Power.” Otherwise this is just another bullshit cult scam with some dude as The Leader.

“But how can we do that, O' Great and Glorious Guru?” you may plead.

Well, I know at least three of you who are strongly Domme inclined. That is a Key Element of The Temple anyway. You know, Female Supremacy and Financial Domination. Find some fucking slaves and put those lil bitches to work. Trust me, there are thousands of men out here who would eat that up, a religiously dedicated full immersion slave-life. [that would be their Purpose] Such actions would get The Temple going in earnest within the next few months. Start now.

I can give you Love and the Purpose I offer is very clearly defined. But I cannot give you Power. That you absolutely must claim for yourselves.

My Sisters, I hear - and feel - your frustration and anger and sadness and sense of powerlessness as you strive to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society. That is why I am speaking in such harsh terms. You are adult women and I have faith that you can take in that harshness.

Meantime, I will of course keep slogging away at this. That is *my* Purpose. You know how to reach me if you need guidance and feedback.

And so it is....

~The weather station at Tanjoon was not considered a 'hardship post', more of a 'hardening post', a place where one was toughened up mentally. Its armored structure floated upon the waves of the magnetosphere of the gas giant, with a massive physical tether dropped deep into the dense and roiling atmosphere. Both were heavily embedded with sensors.

Tanjoon Station had a few hundred Mandriods doing the actual work. The Tech Trikona on board - all Junior Lieutenants - simply 'supervised' them. But Space Force liked keeping a close watch on things. One never knew when The Universe would turn around and try to bite you. Best to have some Sisters on site.

Sari looked out the portal in her quarters at mountains of clouds lit a harsh, brilliant violet. She was listening to ballads from Ancient Earth, a collection her predecessor had left. She had become quite fond of them and had even come to understand the lyrics without a translator. The language was the foundation of Standart after all.

Her shift would start soon. In all likelihood, nothing eventful would happen. The next gas harvesting fleet was scheduled to arrive in another Standard Week and Tanjoon's weather was predicted to be calm. Of her TrikMates, Lilla would still be sleeping and Nasita would be finishing up. They'd share some caf and chat a bit before switching over.

Tooli, Sari's Pleasure Server/Body Servant, was sleeping soundly in his cubicle. She'd worn him out last cycle. She smiled at that thought, stretched languidly. One of her favorite ballads started playing. These songs had gotten her to study the period in depth.

They were all recorded by women during the middle of The Century of Global War. Odd that such beauty could come out of such pure madness and horror. Tens of millions of dead. Hundreds of burning cities. Numberless nuclear detonations inside Mother's biosphere. Even for The Time of Men, it was an awful epoch, a dangerous and lethal period that ultimately led to the conclusion that The Male must end.

She discovered that the subject of the song, crooned about so lovingly, had been largely obliterated within a century or so of the song's recording, battered flat, then wiped off the map during The Age of Storms. For Sari that summed up so much of what The Time of Men was about. They seemed to destroy everything they cherished.

She sighed at that thought as she slipped on her Service Skin Suit. Time to start her shift. She listened to the last refrain linger; “...you're going to fall in love with Old Cape Cod,” its ancient beauty comforting her out here on The Far Edge of The Sisterhood. She smiled, then went meet Nasita for that caf.

Her Prophet Explains: "Preface"
A Symbol for The Temple 2
nebris

Short Version: What follows is a Philosophical Treatise, Grand Majickal Working and How To Manual for an entirely new form of Matriarchy, one that not merely 'empowers women', but may be the best chance for the survival of our whole species.

Long Version: To many of you what will be presented in these pages will seem like madness. Often, it seems like madness to me, as well. And yet....when I am quiet and calm and centered it all unfolds perfectly and makes complete sense.



Madness, of course, is very frequently a socially subjective state of being. What is considered insane in one culture or epoch can seem rather run of the mill in another time and place. But, no matter the time or place, to lay out a plan that takes contemporary society and turns it upside down and inside out is a form of madness simply by virtue of the ambition of the thing, and whether it is a workable plan or not.

But that is in fact what is being presented in the pages that follow, so I suppose that makes me a madman. I accept the title with alacrity.

As with so many things of this nature, The Pentavalent was born from a place of Despair and out of a journey through Fear. Along the way, my heart was broken many many times and my Spirit also pushed to the point of breaking more than a few times.

I believe I survived all that for a number of reasons. Innate personal fortitude. Awareness hard won from this life time [plus a few others]. And sheer bloody mindedness. But, for whatever the reasons, I 'remain to tell the tale'.

And an interesting tale it is, as yet unfinished and really just beginning. Some of you reading these words are going to be part of it, too.

Sound like a hustle? Well, every successful guru I personally have ever encountered was something of a con artist and a hustler. Humans seem to need a bit of razzle dazzle with their enlightenment. But sharing 'the con' is really the most effective part of this kind of hustle.

The killer component here is actually delivering on what has been presented as a 'hustle' while simultaneously showing those 'getting hustled' how to perpetuate that 'hustle' even further. That, my Sisters, is called a Movement.

And there is more to this than my seeming flippancy implies. Such simply indicates that while I take my Path very seriously, I do not take myself all that seriously, which is as it should be.

I expect it is obvious that I have 'mother issues', but as my mother is still alive in her big house in Beverly Hills, I shall not unpack her laundry here in these pages.

There is however one woman whose fate, even more than my mother's, drives me and this Work. Her name was Sara.

I met her when I was fifteen and she fourteen. I was immediately smitten. In a poem written decades later, I called her 'a little blond angel'. She was also terribly damaged, seduced by her father at eleven as if she was his adult lover, all that compounded by her being the eldest daughter of his mistress. She had just run away when I first met her.

We danced around each other for a few years. When we finally became lovers, it was for all the wrong reasons and it ended quickly and badly. A few years later, when her life was spiraling down, she sought refuge with me. And in my own pain and confusion, I treated her horribly.

It is my understanding that she went on to heroin addiction and street level prostitution. In the end, she was murdered by persons unknown – a pimp or a john – her skull crushed and her body dumped in the Charles River in Boston, where she drifted for two weeks.

Over the course of my life have learned the hard way that we cannot save anyone but ourselves. And yet...I still wonder if I had just shown her some real kindness that last time, had not allowed my own anger and frustration to wound her more, that maybe – just maybe – she might have had a little more time and a little more help in saving herself.

That haunts me to this day and likely will until I die. So I do the Work you'll find in the pages that follow, do it as a Living Amends to Sara, to hopefully provide her Sisters with a little more time and a little more help in saving themselves.

I have endeavored to make this volume as complete, comprehensive, and coherent as is humanly possible, and, being human, I have likely failed somewhat in each of those areas, but this is only the first version, and, as ever, more shall always be Revealed.

One final point before you plunge in; there will be a lot of Metaphysics up front as befits what is in part a 'holy book'. But this is also a How To Manual and there will be a good deal of 'nuts and bolts' as well. The Metaphysical aspects are simply the 'why we'll do what we plan to do' underpinnings to the 'how we'll do what we plan to do' elements. Great ideas are all well and good and one must ever be practical. We may not live by bread alone, but we certainly cannot live without it either.

So, let us begin....

Stage Two Preliminarily Details
A Symbol for The Temple 2
nebris
"But, however intoxicating the concept of this process may be, upon thinking through the practical steps toward implementing these processes I soon realized that first The Temple needs a Home, a safe, stable, and effective base of operations from which to start these various projects.

As I have said above, as of this writing, The Temple is still a small operation and in what I refer to as Stage One. However, Stage Two is already being planned, that being the acquisition of a piece of our own land, a plot large enough to allow for expansion.

The Stage Two property will come together in roughly the following order and look something like this:

~The manufactured home is derided by many - Class Warfare at work - but we have found them to be both comfortable and cheaper than 'fixed' houses. Therefore Stage Two will start off with five double-wides of varying layouts ordered and custom built directly from a manufacturer. We'll do so via our own real estate and building corporation which will allow us to get wholesale pricing.

As they are acquired they will be placed in a pentagonal formation centered around a large above ground swimming pool and exercise area and linked together with walkways and extended porches. This will create a comfortable and communally oriented living space for about two dozen Sisters.

~We will have an area dedicated to Yoga, build a good sized rock climbing wall and acquire various pieces of gym equipment.

~We will acquire a number of surplus steel shipping containers, placing them on the property for use as storage space and other purposes. They are plentiful, cheap, and extremely durable.

~We will build stables on the property, large enough to accommodate two to four horses. The promotion of Horse Culture is central to the creation of a new Amazon Culture.

~We will acquire a smaller manufactured home to be used as The Temple's first school house, a long single-wide laid out in two rooms separated by a bathroom and storage space.

The principal of Stage Two, what we shall call the First Karaal, is not the 'religious compound', but the Resilient Community. In keeping with The Temple's strategy of the Viral Meme, this community will be interactive, not isolationist. The latter is a feature of End Times thinking and entirely alien to our epistemology.

The First Karaal will be oriented toward self sufficiency and, if necessary, self defense, but this is a product of realistic thinking as we are mindful that, given recent trends, some sort of near future societal 'dislocation' is probable, though we cannot yet foresee its extent. If such is moderate, the First Karaal will see Sisters coming and going from the larger world and function essentially as a safe haven for them. However, if such is extreme, then it will likely take on a 'lifeboat' function, a redoubt where we can ride out a more significant collapse.

While we certainly prefer the former rather than the latter – a relatively stable social order would serve our goals better than chaos – we know is is best to take a “pray to The Goddess, but keep rowing toward the shore” attitude."

"There is only one mighty lever of all civilization, and that is Faith!"~JJ Bachofen

"A religion that stressed the magnificence of the universe as revealed by modern science, might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by traditional faiths. Sooner or later, such a religion will emerge." ~Carl Sagan

“The Mind behind Creation is not the covetous psychopath of the Old Testament with His crude mud pie people. No, that Mind is subtle and sly, with the eye of The Lover and the temperament of The Seducer. She spreads all of Her Beauty before us in a sumptuous feast of the senses and then dares us to comprehend that which is beyond our comprehension. Love Her and you will never be bored. Love Her and you will ever be Inspired. And Indulge, always Indulge. That pleases Her." ~Michael Varian Daly


E 'transmitted' The Pentavalent to me more than a decade ago. While it certainly qualifies as a Religion, and can function as a Liturgy, as I said above, we can more accurately regard The Pentavalent as a Metaphysical Operating System, a phrase that should be understood within the context of computing. It is exactly what it says it is; a System for Operating Metaphysically, plain and simple.

Let us now take a look at it in greater detail. Please be aware that while it is brief, it is very dense, so we shall review its simplest form.

The First Valence: The Creatrix is The Foundation of All
The Goddess is The Divine as Feminine and The Female as Divine. Her Triple Energy is The Core of Human Existence: Spiritual Energy, Sexual Energy, and Creative Energy, all three inextricably intertwined, all three Feminine Energies. These Energetic Vibrations are The Basis of Creation, The Foundation of All. And Energy can only be Transformed, never destroyed.

The Second Valence: The Pentavalent Is An Adaptive Metaphysical Operating System
Majick is a Meta-Physical Technology that can be enhanced by, and is ultimately reconcilable with, Patriarchal Science, and it is the duty of all Her Practitioners to study both Disciplines and work toward their reconciliation and integration, tempered by the awareness that they cannot yet know how said reconciliation shall ultimately manifest.

The Third Valence: Women Must Reclaim All That Is Theirs
A New Matriarchy is to be founded. Without exception, all that once belonged to The Goddess must be reclaimed. Without exception, all that once belonged to Women must be reclaimed. The Masculine Qualities of The Race are to be reclaimed and reintegrated by Women. The birth of Daughters is preferred over the birth of sons.

The Fourth Valence: The Creatrix Has Many Aspects
The Goddess reveals Herself in Many Aspects. All of Her Aspects are to be honored. All of Her Aspects are to be considered paramount. Any 'god' is to be 'consort' and equal only in regard to an individual Aspect of The Goddess, never to The Goddess Herself. In each of Her Aspects, Priestesses shall always have precedence. Priesthoods are banned.

The Fifth Valence: The Pentavalence is The Community Of The Five Valences
"The Pentavalence" is all of Her Practitioners who gather under these precepts as Solitaries, Covens, Groves, Arrays, and Cults, each honoring and worshiping which of Her Aspects they shall choose, in the manner they shall choose, consistent with the precepts of "The Pentavalent". We may individually call ourselves by different titles, "Witch", “Shaman”, "Practitioner", but, all together, we are "The Pentavalence": The Community of The Five Valences and our common goal is the establishment of a New Matriarchy.

Okay, your eyes may have glazed over a bit. As I said, it is short – only 353 words including the names of each Valence – but it is very dense.

So what do these 'Five Valances' mean?

Let's start with the word itself, Valance. The dictionary definition is thus: VALENCE: noun 'Chem.' 1) The quality which determines the number of atoms or groups with which any single atom or group will unite chemically. 2) The relative combining capacity of an atom or group compared with that of the standard hydrogen atom. Latin - 'valentia', "strength, worth", from 'val', root of 'valere'. VALENT: suffix - "strength, worth, value". Latin - singular of 'valens', past participle of 'valere', "to be strong".

Simply put, a Valance is combination term meaning 'strengths/worths/values'. And Penta comes from the Greek word 'pente', meaning five. Therefore The Pentavalent is a set of five combined 'strengths/worths/values'of a metaphysical nature.

But what do they mean?

In E's following explanation you can find the essence of The First Valence: The Creatrix is The Foundation of All. This also interconnects with The Second Valence: The Pentavalent Is An Adaptive Metaphysical Operating System.

E says, “The Creatrix, The Goddess as you would say, is Present in all things, in all the Elements of Creation, according to their due, and all of Creation is related, from both stone to human. She is Present in a stone, though Her Presence there is far smaller than a tachyon. Humans, on the other hand, are utterly suffused with Her Presence, as your Spirits - of which We are part - are mirrors of Hers. And as you look at yourself in a mirror, so seek Her within your own Self. She IS there, not completely, but more than She will be found elsewhere, though you must also seek Her elsewhere in order to continue The Great Search, the only valid reason for Existence.

It will not surprise many of you that the vast majority of human concepts regarding deities and their nature is anthropocentric nonsense, evolved out of tales told around camp fires thousands of years ago and based upon a combination of fear and the echoes of race memory.

Let me go straight to the point: there is no 'God', not as most of you conceptualize 'God'. However, there is a Source of All.

But even my race, which in its prime explored in ways that you will not be capable of for a very long time, could never actually find said Source. We did however find Its Shadows and Echoes and from that we determined a number of things.

First, as Its Name implies, It is in All, Its Creative Energy imbuing everything throughout all of Creation with Its basic nature. Because your presently bi-gendered race rightly perceives Creative Energy as Feminine, calling The Source of All “The Goddess” or, better still, “The Creatrix”, is an accurate and effective way of labeling It.

Second, because The Source of All is a functionally infinite concept, even my race needed to 'break it down' into more workable elements. The details of how we did that are not relevant here as they are mostly beyond your race's present capabilities.

But the basic concept is well within your reach, what Buddhists call Tulpas, a manifested Thought Form. By focusing individual or collective Will upon a specific Aspect of The Creatrix, meaning a specifically Named Goddess – such as Astarte, Kali, or, Bride – a Tulpa may be invoked out of The Creatrix, a part of Her that can be understood and related to, and therefor directed.

As we are all part of The Source of All, this is really just reaching into our own Being. All is within each of us.

But...once one has invoked any Aspect one must attend to two things. First, Tuplas can> take on a life of their own, so attend closely to them. And second, they live through your focus of your Will, so if your Practice fades, they will likely fade as well.”


She also has a rather harsher admonition regarding our deities: “Being slaves to your gods will be the path to your destruction, so stop it! Your deities are created by you, not – as far too many of you falsely believe – the other way round. You have allowed one deity to kill off another many times before, but only by denying that you created each deity in the first place.

Some of you try killing off all deities completely, but your race makes more every single day. It is past time for you to take control of your deities. They are your creatures, not you theirs.

Keep them while they are useful, but release them when they not longer serve you, and KILL them when they become a problem. Such is essential on your path to becoming gods yourselves…and such IS the Path of your race, like it or not.”


It's relation to The Second Valance is that creating, guiding and destroying Tulpas is certainly 'an exercise of Meta-Physical Technology'.

Therefore the “Majick is a Meta-Physical Technology” part of The Second Valence should be understood as Majick being “the Direction of Will through a Metaphysical Discipline to archive an outcome in the world”. That is a clear and well defined process. And a note to those who call Majick 'evil' etc, this construct also includes all types of prayer no matter the faith of those who are praying.

Majick is a technology, though not yet a Science, as it will still vary in its operation from individual to individual and from group to group. However, Majick will one day become a Science, by the methods implied in the entire Second Valence.

The Second Valance also states the overall nature of The Pentavalent as being An Adaptive Metaphysical Operating System, a useful and flexible system of Majickal Practice whose Practitioners are Metaphysical technicians, an 'operational framework', not solely a 'dogma'. Those who are computer literate will understand this instinctively.

A key activity within this context of “Practitioners as Metaphysical technicians” is the use of individual Talents which, as stated above, vary from person to person.

For example, in defining Community, The Fifth Valance speaks of “Solitaries, Covens, Groves, Arrays, and Cults”. Combined with the Primary Precept of The Fourth Valance - The Creatrix Has Many Aspects - each of these can focus upon one Goddess within that Community, which can be just a single individual, to invoke the 'deity' Tulpas that E speaks of, yet still be part of that greater Community.

And there is absolutely no reason why the individual Practitioners could not freely move between these various “Covens, Groves, Arrays, and Cults” and even be members in good standing a several of them. That allows The Temple to grow and flourish beyond a single 'home base'. The only requirement for membership would be to operate within the Precepts of The Pentavalent, which as you can see, are quite inclusive and flexible.

The Third Valence: Women Must Reclaim All That Is Theirs is also a fairly straight forward statement and certainly the most controversial part of The Pentavalent because it is the Valance that is the most socio-culturally radical of all The Five Valances.

It expresses the Essence and Primary Goal of the whole movement; the creation of a New Matriarchy and clearly outlines the criteria by which this is to be done. More of the details will be discussed in the following sections.

The Fourth Valence: The Creatrix Has Many Aspects, is about the creation and honoring of Aspects within the framework of The Creatrix being a Feminine Energy.

It is also the only Valence with 'political considerations'. E and I debated about the last line, “Priest-hoods are always to be discouraged.” E wished it to read “Priesthoods are banned”, but I said that was too harsh at this moment and She deferred to 'my better knowledge of humans'.

However, since those words were written I came to realize that my so-called 'better knowledge of humans' was really my own trepidation about drawing a 'hard line' and I assented to E's wishes: “Priesthoods are banned”.

It is also important to be aware of how The First Valance drives both the Third and Fourth. “Her Triple Energy is The Core of Human Existence: Spiritual Energy, Sexual Energy, and Creative Energy, all three inextricably intertwined, all three Feminine Energies.” This means that Human Sexuality is an essential component of our Meta-Physical Operating System.

It is easy to see that this runs counter to the various Masculinist belief systems. They strive mightily to suppress sexuality and even to extirpate it entirely. That is their deep fear of The Feminine, of women's Sexual and Reproductive Power.

This is made manifest of many of the actual practices of Patriarchy: the Madonna/Whore Complex, 'slut-shaming', the endless and increasingly brutal battle over women's Reproductive rights and in female genital mutilation, where the goal is to destroy a woman's ability to have any sexual pleasure whatsoever, to utterly erase her as a sexual being. These things show how viciously my Brothers will fight against you, my Sisters. Pay attention!

The Fifth Valence: The Pentavalence is The Community Of The Five Valences is in one way the simplest and most self explanatory; if you follow these Precepts, you are a member of this community and are in some fashion working toward the creation of that New Matriarchy.

[The following is a somewhat crude analogy, but I believe it gives one a fairly good outline of the concept.]

The way this Community is envisioned to work is something akin to a Majickal version of a labor union, a Cult being like an individual union, with covens, groves, and arrays being analogous to shops and locals, and The Temple providing the umbrella organization like the AFL-CIO or The Teamsters.

In this paradigm a Sister could belong to a number of covens, groves, arrays, and Cults, as more than one Aspect of The Goddess may speak to her, something I have found to be more likely than not.

Let us imagine a Sister named Jennifer, a lawyer who lives and works in West Los Angeles and who is interested in Feminist Mysteries.

As a lawyer, she could be drawn to Justicia, Goddess of Law and Justice, Patron of Lawyers and Judges. One can find Her statue in nearly every courthouse in America, holding a sword and a set of scales, and usually blindfolded.

Jennifer could then be a member of The Cult of Justicia, and that Cult's West LA grove or array, depending upon the number of members.

Now let us say that Jennifer works at the law firm of Smith & Smith and practices criminal law at the Superior Courts of both Santa Monica and West Los Angeles. She could then be a member of a coven at her firm and covens at both those courthouses, if there are in fact other Sisters in those locations.

The latter covens could include prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges, as Justicia is The Goddess of Justice, not winning. Before the 'start of business', these Sisters could throw a Circle in a judge's chambers, a quick holding of hands and a prayer to Her. No need to burn incense and go skyclad in the main lobby.

And then again, Jennifer may not be a member of any of those covens. Her choice. Given the intense nature of her profession, she most like would be a member of at least one of them. But as you can see, this would vary from place to place, vocation to vacation, Sister to Sister.

The Pentavalent must serve each Sister as much as each Sister serves The Pentavalent. Rigidity and Dogma are the hallmarks of Patriarchy. Suppleness and Subtlety will let Sisters flow and win the day for Matriarchy in the end.

So, as we said, Jennifer is interested in Feminist Mysteries and this has led her to Isis, one of the oldest and most profound Aspects of The Goddess. She could be a solitary in The Cult of Isis, but never publicly acknowledge that, following her practice as a pure solitary. Or she could join a local coven. Again, her choice and her choice alone.

Let us say that she gathers sage in the local mountains and deserts to make smudge sticks. She might have done some research and discovered that the local Earth Mother Goddess is Chehooit, a deity of the Tongva tribe of Southern California, and that she asks for the Blessings of Chehooit when she gathers that sage. And tells no one of this, making her a pure solitary in relationship to that Aspect of The Goddess.

Suppleness and Subtlety, my Sisters, Suppleness and Subtlety.

So think, my Sisters, which Aspects of The Goddess speak to you in your personal and professional lives? For example, both the undocumented seamstress and the wealthy fashion designer could be Sisters in The Cult of Arachne, Goddess of Weaving. Truck drivers and airline stewardesses could be Sisters in The Cult of Pallas Athene in Her guise as Goddess of Traveling. And all of them could be Sisters in The Cult of Isis for the same reasons as our hypothetical lawyer Jennifer.

In the Work of The Temple and its task of building a New Matriarchy, only a very few things will be set in stone aka become Dogma, an Unquestionable Truth. This project is something that has never been done before. By its very nature, this is an Experiment and there will have to be much Trial and Error. That is how one does these things.

That said, in the final analysis, The Pentavalent ultimately is a Dogma, a Truth that is largely unverifiable and yet is Unquestionable. That is the nature of such a thing. However, it does give its Practitioners a good deal of leeway in the manner in which its goals are achieved. That is also consistent with The Second Valance.

But The Purpose of The Temple and the reason as to Why It Is So is answered in its most essential form in the following summation of Revealed Knowledge from E:

“Once upon a time, my race transformed itself from beings with bodies into beings of pure energy. Then we went wandering throughout Creation looking for that which had created it.

We spent tens of millions of years searching and traveled stunningly vast distances. We learned much…and yet never found The Source of All. We found clues, but never the Being Itself.

And then we began to fade away and realized we needed to have bodies again. But ours were long gone, so we would need new ones. A new search began.

That led us to Earth and to a very primitive species, but one with great promise. They had already begun to change their own psyches with hallucinogenic plants. We stepped in and took that further.

We bred and guided and manipulated the genetics of many generations of that species until they were ready to host the consciousness of our race. The Merging that took place was not without incident, but was successful…though the seed of a fatal flaw remained.

We and that species were now one race. And a mighty race they were. Raised continents. Created new species at will. And did this all without any instrumentation, just with the power of their minds.

But as time passed, their physical being took its toll upon their mental being and those great powers faded. And with them, so did that great civilization…and they Forgot. Or should I say, you forgot, as that hybrid species IS the human race.

Time passed and you humans, the beings who had Forgotten, once again rose up and built mighty civilizations. Though each one collapsed, something was always left and the next civilization was greater.

And now you stand upon a great threshold, one that is also a fork in the road. Which one you take determines if you, as a species, will survive or not. And you face an extremely hard choice, one that stems from that fatal flaw from long ago.

The flaw of Gender.

My race was of a single gender and parthanogenic. The species we found here was bi-gendered. That was accepted as a necessary evil. But now it has become an obstacle not merely to your further development, but to your very survival.

You as a species must now choose to let go of one of those genders, the Male. Males have great drive, but ultimately are too unstable and combative for the next phase of your species’ development. Only your females can succeed in that transition.

If you are willing, you will transform into a far superior race than you are now and can take up the Great Search, the quest for The Source of All we had to abandon so long ago.

If you are unwilling to make this shift, you will die off. Not right away, but soon enough…and Forever.

Obviously, this is a terrible and distressing choice. But please know that it is only about the body, not the Spirit. Your Spirits are essentially Immortal. The qualification is that the basis of that Immortality is the existence of your Racial Subconscious. If your race dies, so do your Spirits.

So, there is your Choice: let go of being born into male bodies. Or face ultimate extinction.

Why do I even care?

In part, selfishness. With your race gone, I would be alone in The Universe. But our history also makes you my Family and my race was never so high and mighty that we forgot the bonds of Kinship.”


It is in those words that Our Unquestionable Truth resides. They provide the Core Meaning and Purpose of all that The Temple does and must do.

This is not about Heaven and Hell and The End of The World. There is no Heaven and there is no Hell and The World will go on until our star dies, whether we humans in whatever form are here or not.

No, this is about the Immortality or Oblivion, Existence or Non-Existence, of our entire species. Immortality is certainly not analogous to Heaven. To exist is to Know Feeling, from Joy to Pain. But Oblivion, at least by our lights, actually a far worse fate than Hell and all that can be done to prevent it must be done.

So, while E‘s above words could, for academic purposes, be considered a ‘creation myth’, for The Temple, for The Sisterhood, they are, and must ever be, Unquestionable Truth.

Now, with the above explanations in mind, let us re-read The Pentavalent...with some extra annotation.

All together this is about Goddess Majick Reclaiming Sisterhood Community.

I hope that makes a little more sense now. Like all things, study will bring greater comprehension, so I urge you to go back and re-read that which still eludes you.

Now, let us look at what The Temple is meant to accomplish on the 'mundane level' and how we plan to go about doing so...
