Cimmeria Quotes

“Welcome to the Church of the Serpent. The universe is the Tree of Knowledge. At the top of the tree is the Golden Bough with which we attain Golden Knowledge, the Apex Knowledge of the cosmos. So, we must climb. All the way to the highest consciousness. The Church of the Serpent is devoted to knowledge – ultimate knowledge, the knowledge of existence itself. We must have Absolute Knowledge. Nothing else will suffice. Completion, or nothing. From the top of the Tree of Knowledge, we shall command all knowledge. Like Faust, we will make a pact with any force to reach our goal. Like Prometheus, we will steal from the gods and risk any punishment to secure our ends. Like the Cimmerians, we will travel from the deepest darkness, where the sun never shines, to the brightest light. Like the Hyperboreans, we seek the perfect land where the sun always shines, yet we Hyperborean Apollonians must be able to return to Dionysian Cimmeria to enjoy the intoxication of the dark.”

“Never forget, when you come to AC/GS, you are entering the dark, mysterious, complex, daunting, forbidding – but infinitely inspiring and perfect world – of INTJs. We can take you from Cimmeria to Hyperborea. Do not expect an easy ride. Don’t bring emotionalism and irrationalism. Let the most powerful ideas in the world wash over you and enlighten you. And then help us make our vision even brighter, enough to light up this whole benighted world.”
