In my post-university years I found myself becoming everything I had resisted… a soulless worker drone, working for the collections department of a medical credit card company. In those days I felt that being a ghost in the machine was the best way to reclaim what I’d lost, and so a plan was hatched. Myself and another occultist, whose name I’ll leave out of this paragraph (but who speaks often in the document below) set out to create our own “occult fight club”. Yes, we are those dudes who watched a movie about Tyler Durden and decided we could do something similar. The best thing is that it totally worked. I started by publishing the Marauder Underground paradigm in my book Post-Modern Magick, then we hit the internet forums. We began what has been at times called the “marauder underground” or the “ellis movement”, and the use of the LS sigil (or linking sigil). At the time both of us were very much into the roleplaying game called “Mage: The Ascension” and in that storyline there was a group of mages who were essentially “reality terrorists” who were trying to return the world to what I can best describe as a “mythic state”. Essentially a reality in which its “mythic reality” all the time. We decided that our Discordian Project Mayhem was going to be styled after those fictional magi, and so we set out to create the Marauder Underground. What you will read below is the majority of the forum postings in which we planted the idea-seeds, and helped the movement grow on its own, independent of our control. We never wanted to be leaders, or really in a group at all, but the world was going to be a better place (or at least more interesting) once Ellis joined the game. There are several Ellis oriented groups out there now, and countless individuals who play the game solo. Its just another paradigm, but one of my favorites.
It’s about changing the world, taking an active stance, getting involved. I post as “Silenced”, and to this day remain on my own.
Am I a Prophet or an Asshole?
Probably both. Enjoy the Game.
