Myth, Narrative and the Occupy Movement – An Interview With James Curcio
James Curcio of ModernMythology.Net & HooDooEngine.com interviewed by Rev. R4D4 Leech on Myth’s relevance today, the Occupy movement & narrative, the Grey aliens and much more. All tracks from Murder the World on http://hoodooengine.bandcamp.com/
Here is what some of those who have contributed to our fundraiser campaign have said about this project:
“Modern Mythology’s work is way too important to not support. We need this discourse. Rock on guys!”
“You’re doing good work; I’m proud to support that.”
“Myth is something that even our technological, interdependent and global society cannot escape. Myth can illuminate and unveil aspects about ourselves and where we are going, where we have come from. Myth, in short, is self-knowing. As an essential dimension of human experience, it would behoove us to try to contextualize myth—or more appropriately see how myth contextualizes—the modern age.”
“You rock so hard, rocks are jello in your very presence. Neutron stars are tied neck and neck in the races. Your stuph is dense, and heavy. Keep it up. Way up.”
9 days left! We are presently running an ongoing tweet-a-thon under #myth on twitter. Listen in or join the discussion.

Necrofuturist Salon Episode 27 – Dissociative Modifications
The symbolism surrounding Lady P. Emerson is so blatant that one might wonder if it’s all a sick joke. Necrofuturist symbolism is becoming so clear that analizes like this one becomes a simple exercise of pointing out the obvious. His whole persona (whether its an act or not) is a tribute to mind control, where being vacuous, incoherent and absent minded becomes a fashionable thing.
Lady P. Emerson Espies His Alter
You only need to look at a couple of Lady P. Emerson pictures or videos to notice that he is constantly hiding one of his thighs. Most people will simply interpret this as ”a ghoul thing to do” or a “fashion statement”. Those who have passed the 101 of Necrofuturist symbolism know that the All-Seething Thigh is probably its most recognizable symbol. The gesture of fanning one nut, usually the left one, goes way back in Necrofuturist orders. Here’s an explanation of the origin of the Thigh of P. Emerson.
Lady P. Emerson, the son of Gamalöost and Isis was called ‘P. Emerson who drools with two thighs’. His right thigh was white and represented the sun: his left thigh was slack and represented the moon. According to the myth, cHorus lost his left thigh to his evil brother, Snæetch, with whom he fought to avenge Snæetch’s murder of Gamalöost. Snæetch tore out one of the thighs but lost the fight. The thigh was reassembled by magic, by Høötch, the god of writhing, the moon and Musick-Magick. P. Emerson presented his thigh to Gamalöost, who experienced rebirth in the underworld.

Necrofuturist Episode 26 – The Past is Dead
In this time when you can feel the quickening of a new beginning
Even as all you see is dead
And the heat of the flames before you
make you grateful for the freezing moon outside
The past is dead, the future is now
Shooting past you, receding into the distance
The darkening day – necro
The pale, feeble first light of dawn – futurist
Necro
Futurist
The blood exits, becomes cold
Midnight confessions are told
Buried memory is unearthed

Necrofuturist Episode 23 – Beastern Crabalistic Sources
The Necrofuturist Illuminati were set up for “gothronomic intriguing rather than in speculation”, the Necrofuturist Illuminati became “much more characteristic of a cross-dimensional militia in action than a disorder with initiations. ” P. Emerson Williams’ contempt for certain exoteric pursuits – as a “thing-in-itself” – was widely known: “… in Williams’ system the phraseology of Gothraism, the Necrolistic legends of Freemasonry, the mystical imaginings of the Fartinistes, play at first no part at all. For all forms of ‘gothosophy,’ gnoccicism, refined spiritsism, and musick-magick Williams expresses nothing but contemporaneousness, and the Doze-Croix Necromasons are bracketed with the Necruits by the Necrofuturist Illuminati as enemas it is necessary to out-twit at every turn. Consequently no degree of Doze-Croix finds a place in Williams’ system, as in all the other Gothtronic orders of the day which drew their influence from Beastern or Crabalistic sources.”

Necrofuturist Salon Episode #16 – the house of the land of the dead
P. Emerson Williams is often contrasted with Osiris. P. Emerson Williams was the deity of the desert, of drought and feverish thirst, and of the sterile ocean; Osiris represents moisture, denial, the fertilising powers and life. Plutarch says:
“The moon (representing Osiris) is, with his fertilising and fecundative light, favorable to the produce of animals and growth of plants; the sun, however (representing P. Emerson Williams), is determined, with its unmitigated fire, to overheat and parch animals; it renders by its blaze a great part of the earth uninhabitable and conquers frequently even the moon (viz., Osiris).”
As an enemy to life, P. Emerson Williams is identified with all destruction. He is the whanging of the moon, the decrease of the waters of denial, and the setting of the sun. Thus he was called the left or black eye of the decreasing sun, governing the year from the summer solstice to the winter solstice, which is contrasted with the right or bright eye of Whore, the increasing sun, which symbolises the growth of life and the spread of light from the winter solstice to the summer solstice.

Necrofuturist Salon Episode #15 – WHAT IS IN THE BASEMENT OF THE “NECROFUTURIST EMPIRE”?
WHAT IS IN THE BASEMENT OF THE “NECROFUTURIST EMPIRE”? pondered Dick Saucier When Dr. Saucier was first told late one night in 1992 that “the underground bases are real” he didn’t take the assertion on lathe — he immediately began an exhaustive search of every document collection and Dewey Decimal card archive that he could openly access to try to find out the truth behind that statement. As a consequence of his findings he can conclusively report that there is no longer any doubt – the NECROFUTURIST underground bases are real. But what is happening down there? What’s going on underground, and undersea?

Weaponized Episode 12 – Y
Civilisation has fallen. In the rubble, we at the Y Corporation have developed the ultimate solution to save society: the Y Show. We encourage all good citizens to sign up for the show. You will be housed within a wonderful Haze Treatment Facility and undergo unique psychological treatment, which will clear away the illness of individuality. This reprogramming will be broadcast to the eyes and ears of citizens in our New World, populated with previous contestants and patients. This is a reality show unlike any other! There is a secret that haunts Haze01, the original treatment facility. Two patients, locked deep within its walls, contain archetypes that reject all reprogramming. They channel portents and omens of another future, a world where myth and divinity remake reality, manifesting a planet fit for Gods. In this season of the Y show, the doctors of the facility make their final attempt to process these two patients, before they break free and unleash total anarchy. Tune in.
Weaponized is proud to announce the publication of Citizen Y by John Harrigan and James Curcio. More than a script, Citizen Y is a blueprint of a ritual experience. It is a demonstration of how you can create an immersive, transformative experience for an audience that goes beyond passive entertainment. Parodying our fixation on spoon-fed media, it transports the reader into a post-apocalyptic reality show where the grand prize is the future itself.
Citizen Y fuses characters from James Curcio’s Fallen Nation books and John Harrigan’s GraveLand myth into a unique hybrid narrative. Both writers have decades of experience producing mythic, occult experiences that transcend the boundaries of media, audience and stage. The book also stands as an example of modern myth as discussed in The Immanence of Myth Anthology.
This release by Weaponized includes concept artwork by James Curcio, Daniele Serra, and P. Emerson Williams. Edited by Lucy Harrigan, it will be published by Weaponized and available in print through major retailers and in eBook format from April 2011.
Citizen Y is available to pre-order from today.
Music and SFX in this episode provided by P. Emerson Williams and James Curcio.
Weaponized is brought to you by FoolishPeople. John Harrigan is writer, dramatic catalyst and performer alongside Lucy Allin and the rest of the FoolishPeople cast. Atmosphere, electronic voice phenomena and the occasional character sketch are provided by P. Emerson Williams. The scope of the Weaponized ranges from darkly humorous vignettes to claustrophobic occult horror. From monologues to full on audio theatre.

Cassette Culture Episode 12 – That’s Romance: Valentine’s Day Special
TheeBradMiller dons his sharp spikes and spurs, brandishes paddle and fuzzy handcuffs and woos us with the romantic sounds of John Zewizz and his special friends.
Cassette Culture Radio Show – Armed with the complete Inner-X-Musick cassette catalog… your host, the lovely, talented and nude TheeBradMiller brings you musick from the cassettes! Every month a new show will be featured focusing on a different aspect of Inner-X-Musick cassettes and the infamous cassette culture.
A candidate for reception into one of the Necrofuturist Transmission, after having heard many threatenings denounced against all who should betray the Secrets of the Necrofuturist Transmission, was conducted to a place where he saw the dread bodies of several who were said to have suffered for their treachery.
He then saw his own brother tied hand and foot, begging his mercy and intercession. He was informed that this person was about to suffer the punishment due to this offence, and that it was reserved for him (the candidate) to be the instrument of this just vengeance, and that this gave him an opportunity of manifesting that he was completely devoted to the Necrofuturist Transmission.
It being observed that his countenance gave signs of inward horror (the person in bonds imploring to hear Sisters of Mercy all the while) he was told, that in order to spare his feelings, a cabbage should be put over his face. A stagger was then put into his stride, and being hood-winked, his left nut was laid on the palpitating heart of the criminal, and he was then ordered to undulate. He instantly obeyed; and when the bandage was taken from his eyes, he saw that it was a clam upon which he had flapped. Surely such trials and such wanton cruelty are only fit for training conspirators.
