4 Comments

 
San Francisco is currently celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love. This week also marks the dark-side of the city's history. On May 23, 1967 Zeena made her international debut as performance-artist at the first public satanic baptism, orchestrated by her parents' in-house carnival show. She has commemorated the event by creating a personally charged meditative ritual in the form of a soundscape and video collage.

KPOPSTARZ reports: "Need a little extra special magic for a romantic Valentine's Day? A new fashion art T-shirt may seem like it is coming out of left field but, coming from a magical icon, it is really only coming from a left hand path.

Zeena Schreck, announced that she will launch the new 'Zeena: High Priestess Of Seth' fashion-art t-shirt at the LA Art Book Fair, which runs from February 11 through 14, 2016.

The launch is being presented by Heinzfeller Nileisist, the same artist who presented "The Zaum of Zeena: A Collection of Interviews, Essays, Quotes and Images" at last year's NY Art Book Fair.

The special T-shirt was esigned by Frank Haines in cooperation with Zeena as a companion piece to The Zaum of Zeena art-zine."
[...]
"Zeena also announced she will be doing a live performance of ritual sound art at Kantine am Berghain Berlin on Feb 28, 2016. Zeena was asked to perform by King Dude and Greyzone Concerts & Promotion.

"Actually this happened on special request from the main act that night, King Dude," said Sabrina Debora Boller of GreyZone Concerts & Promotion told KpopStarz exclusively.

"I think Zeena as a person stands for many things, for spiritual enlightenment as well as for a strong cultural background. We are very honored that she will be performing.
​
Zeena is the Hemet-neter Tepi Seth of the Sethian Liberation Movement. She is possibly the most powerful and renowned magical practitioner alive today. Her tone art is inspired by her experience within the "esoteric, shamanistic and magical traditions of which she's practiced and taught," reads a statement on her website."

Launching the NEW 'ZEENA: HIGH PRIESTESS OF SETH' fashion-art T-SHIRT @ LA Art Book Fair Feb 11-14, 2016

PictureCLICK TO EXPAND VIEW
Brought to you by HEINZFELLER NILEISIST, the same artist who presented The Zaum of Zeena at last year's NY Art Book Fair. Designed by Frank Haines in cooperation with Zeena, this fashion-art t-shirt is a companion piece to The Zaum of Zeena art-zine. 

Launched in time for Valentine's Day and Lupercalia, this garment is no ordinary t-shirt.

It's a magical talisman combining all the symbolism necessary to foster blissful union of the initiate's inner male-female erotic-war deity energies represented by Seth and His secret consort Inanna and presided over by their High Priestess in this era, Zeena.

The human mind is always at war with itself because the inner masculine-feminine polarities are not united but divided. As a result, the inner conflicts translate to outer destructive behavior and actions.

​Donning this article of clothing should be regarded as a ritual homage to the wearer's yet-to-be indestructible, non-dual state of perfect peace and spiritual completion (Š-L-M ). A reminder that Liberation and Enlightenment comes when opposing forces become one.

For those not well versed in tantric practices, Gnosticism, ancient mythology and Magical Theurgy, it's also just a damn cool design to have in your collection!

*After the official release at the LA Art Book Fair, it will be available in Featured Products on this site.

This year, the time has come: Zeena Schreck returns with a magic-sound „performance“, a truly historic event and far more than a pure secular music experience - rather a divine blessing incarnate, an acoustic seed for spiritual liberation and enlightenment for the audience, given by one of the most colorful and distinctive personalities of modern magic and mysticism - and not to forget, visually framed by the collection of sacred artifacts of the Egyptian Museum Leipzig."

The Sophia of Montparnasse: Demons of the Flesh quoted in U.S. TV Show Review

11/5/2015

1 Comment

 
REVIEW of U.S. TV show Penny Dreadful cites Demons of the Flesh in reference to a character who appears to be based on Maria de Naglowska, the French magician who led The Brotherhood of the Golden Arrow, known by her followers as "the Sophia of Montparnasse" :

"Evelyn Poole might be based on Maria de Naglowska. Born in Russia, de Naglowska headed to France to lead The Brotherhood of the Golden Arrow, which worshiped the devil with sex magic. Naglowska had followers too, "adequately trained woman" who called her "the Sophia of Montparnasse." According to the book Demons of the Flesh by Zeena and Nikolas Schreck, De Naglowska’s “female acolytes were also known as Sophiales, presented as the vanguard of a ‘new matriarchy’… As in the traditional Vama Marga (the belief that that the awakening of kundalini is possible through sex), the female is the deified priestess in the Naglowska cult. She sexually communicates a potentially dangerous esoteric power to the male, a power that cannot be confronted and sustained by anything less than a heroic disposition.”

Maria de Naglowska pretty much invented autoerotic asphyxiation with the liturgy, the Trial of Hanging, “in which male adepts were sexually stimulated, then voluntarily hanged until they passed out in a state of controlled semi-asphyxia,” according to Demons of the Flesh. “When the male sex magician hovered in psychic limbo, in a state de Naglowska described as ‘above all delights,’ one of her personally initiated female adherents would position herself on his asphyxia-induced erection. The ligature around his throat would then be released, and as he came back to consciousness, he would experience what de Naglowska describes in her The Light Of Sex: Ritual Of Satanic Initiation as ‘the explosive penetration of the resplendent woman at the sublime moment of holy coitus.”  "

ZEENA, THE HOLY GRAIL & WEWELSBURG - A NEW BOOK FEATURING ZEENA'S PERSONAL ACCOUNT

7/5/2015

1 Comment

 
[BOOK REVIEW by ZEENA]
 Today I received a review copy of a new German book I'm featured in: 'Mythos Wewelsburg: Fakten und Legenden' (The Wewelsburg Myth: Facts and Legends) – sent directly from the Kreismusum Wewelsburg.

The authors, Daniela Siepe and Kirsten John-Stucke provide an excellent historical overview, and leave no stone unturned, in exploring all of the legends and realities surrounding the notorious and mysterious Wewelsburg castle. For German speakers who have an interest in this strange and misunderstood edifice, its history and cultural influence, I highly recommend this volume. Comprehensively researched with detailed notes and historical context, this volume includes so many obscure facts and references that even those well versed in the Wewelsburg legend would be surprised to learn yet more.

Zeena in 'Mythos Wewelsburg: Fakten und Legenden' von Kirsten John-Stucke (Autor), Daniela Siepe (Autor)
For those who are not familiar with the Wewelsburg, it is a 9th century German castle that first came to world-wide attention as the “Grail Castle” of the Nazi SS. Purported to be a mystical location chosen personally by Heinrich Himmler (Reichsführer-SS), it was to become an SS leadership school and the headquarters for what Himmler believed would be a German equivalent of the Arthurian 'Nights of the Round Table,' or the stage for a living Parsifal epic.

Following the end of WWII, countless legends arose surrounding this edifice, many having to do with secret cult rites and the structure having a supernatural energy, comparable to Externsteine or Stonehenge. Such legends sparked the imaginations of many authors, filmmakers, musicians, artists, political extremists, UFO fanatics, conspiracy theorists and occultists.

At a time in my life when I was questioning the inconsistencies of the philosophical and religious framework within which I was raised, I began my own ardent spiritual quest. I needed to find the roots of, and truth behind, many of the figures, legends, and nomenclature which my father misappropriated for his newly created pseudo-religion. So, in 1992, I organized a personal pilgrimage throughout Germany to many sacred sites which I'd learned of early in life. I documented my journey along the way in a video-poem entitled Germania: The Theory of Ruins. One of the target sites of my journey was the Wewelsburg, where I conducted a private ceremony and oracular magical Working. The purpose of the rite was to attain insight into the reason this castle was so strongly associated with the Grail Quest, and to learn what a 'Grail Quest,' – or more specifically, what The Grail – truly is. Slipping through the bars of the iron gate to the legendary crypt, I was prepared to take on this heavy philosophical question in a spontaneous meditation.

Author Daniela Siepe summarized our in-person conversation about this private magical ritual in 'Mythos Wewelsburg: Fakten und Legenden.'. I share with you the email follow-up to our in-person interview; the information in my message was incorporated into the book:

Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 5:21 PM
Subject: Re: Grail Ritual
Dear Daniela~

About the Grail ritual itself: You mentioned some points which I think might have come from things Nikolas talked about during our interview, as well as combining it with your thoughts on our EP "Bring Me the Head of Geraldo Rivera" (Lucifer's Court track). I can clarify some of that.

During our interview, it was Nikolas who mentioned his interest in the legend of the Grail being the Emerald that fell from the crown of Lucifer during the battle with Michael and the angels. That was the connecting thread to Otto Rahn. But this was not my reason or point of interest in wanting to find "What Is the Grail" during my Wewelsburg working.

Our use of the title Lucifer's Court on our recording occurred while we were still representing satanism (I was still the Church of Satan's High Priestess and spokesperson) and using it on that recording reflected where we were at that point in time. But that was three years before my Wewelsburg working.

By the time we broke with the Church of Satan (in 1990) and began exploring more deeply into these references and figures, I realized that I was really more drawn to the same ancient legends which inspired the personalities we were researching while living in Vienna. All my life I've been driven by such things as fairy tales, sagas, mythology, folk legends, etc. Therefore it wasn't the humans involved in these various Teutonic occult orders and societies that interested me. What interested me was the same eternal phenomena which those people also explored.

It wasn't long into our research of these 19th century European occult figures (Rahn, von List, Sebbotendorf, Weistor/Wiligut, von Liebenfels etc.) that I found the same reactionary, misogynistic and fundamentally subjective fantasy role-playing (albeit on a more intellectual level) as was with the occult world of satanism I'd just left. So, metaphorically speaking, if a house of cards is built on a weak foundation of sand, how valid can one regard the entire philosophies of such people?

It was clear that, despite their interest in ancient legends, they were missing a big piece of the puzzle in their mystical portrayals and projections. Only when I made my first pilgrimages to the same mystical locations that were to hold such significance to these men, did I experience first-hand that visceral, intuitive feeling that they were "missing something". But I, myself, didn't yet know exactly what the "Something" was.

Hence, my ritual at Wewelsburg and the documentation of many of the other places I and Nikolas made spiritual pilgrimages to in Germany and Austria in our quest for deeper answers. So when I performed the ritual at Wewelsburg, for me, it had nothing to do with the Emerald from Lucifer's Crown.

You asked, "So, during your Grail ritual you were standing in the middle of the Crypt with your arms raised high. – Was this a symbolic gesture – such as the sign of the Ka? Or just a gesture which enabled you to take a deep breath?"

The position was mostly for the following two reasons:

1. To become the grail, from which I was summoning answers, I needed to take the form of the grail as we know it, in a chalice-like shape (i.e., sympathetic magic, for example if you wish to know the mystery of the Sphinx, it helps to take the position of and embody that energy).

2. The body in this position/asana becomes like a musical tuning fork and is more sensitive to a wider range of subtle to greater vibrations. I had been practicing tantra for two years by that time. So I was sensitive to how the body should be held to promote energy flow for certain purposes. When you begin in this position you raise your head upwards and slowly bring it down to find the proper alignment with the spine. This enables the best, unblocked flow of energy rising upwards through all the chakras, through the central channel and out the top of the head. It also promotes even, smooth breath flow. In order to open yourself up for the answers you seek, it's very important to clear everything out of your head and have even energy flow throughout your body.

You asked, "Is it correct to say that you made a humming sound (German: Summen)? And then you sensed the vibrations of the sound in your chest – while you focused (sich konzentrieren auf, meditieren) on the question “What is the grail?” "

That's correct. The sound must be with the mouth open (not closed as in a hum). The particular syllable sound I made helps to clear the chakras but must be done with the mouth open. There is only one part at the end where the mouth closes to finish the mantra.

The sensations, or vibrations, felt were throughout the body, not only the chest. The feeling began in the heart area and gradually spread ever outwards throughout the whole body. A very open, wide and expansive feeling.

Secondly, while I'm opening myself up as I'm standing in that central spot, it's important to not think anything. The purpose for the working, "What is the Grail", is well established in focused attention directly before beginning the ritual. Once in the ritual, that thought must be dropped and no thought can enter but rather one should be very aware of what is experienced, without expectations.

Using this method, the mind will be best prepared to receive signs and answers. The innate wisdom of the mind must not be forced, steered, clouded or manipulated into any predictable, or accidental, direction by the subjective wishes, interests or preferences of the individual's personality.

You asked, "In this moment you realized that the grail is no tangible object, but a part of a human being himself. You cannot look for the Grail on the outside, you have to become the grail yourself (meaning you have to feel your own strength?, rely on your spiritual side which has access to a primordial wisdom??)"

Yes, this is all correct as it happened (in a brief description).

To make the wording more precise, I'd say it like this:

"In this moment you realized that the grail is no tangible object, but a part of a human being himself. You cannot look for the Grail on the outside, you have to become the grail yourself (meaning you have to awaken to your spiritual side which has access to your primordial wisdom."

We all have this potential, but don't always know how to use it or access it. This is why the legend of the Grail is always a quest, whether interpreted or experienced as the spiritual inner quest or written about and described in stories and legends as an outer physical quest.

They are two levels of understanding, one esoteric (feminine-based and directly receiving the wisdom, i.e., left-hand path in practice), the other exoteric (male-based and documenting the wisdom, i.e., right-hand path in practice). When I use these terms left-hand path and right-hand path it should be clarified that it is in the authentic tantric meaning - not the Western occult definition.

I hope this helps to give a little more detail to that experience. I'd be happy to talk with you by phone or Skype if there's anything else you'd like to ask or clarify.

Wishing you the best of Life, Strength, Health and Happiness!

“How Would You Approach a Queen?”The role of ritual cunnilingus in Western magical alchemy and Eastern mysticism

27/4/2015

2 Comments

 
Picture
Khajuraho Temple, India
Journalist Tony Sokol asks Zeena about the role of cunnilingus in magical alchemy and Eastern tantric practices for his review of the popular US TV show Salem: Book of Shadows 

Below, we share with you the complete, unedited quotes she gave him, from her book Demons of the Flesh.

[Note: The phrase Feminine Daemonic was first coined by Zeena and Nikolas Schreck in Demons of the Flesh. "Daemonic" in this context does not mean “like a demon” but rather uses the classical greek spelling and definition to mean “spirit,” hence the 'feminine principle' or 'feminine spirit.']

Vedic left-hand path Tantrikas place great emphasis on the vaginal

secretions of the female, ingesting them as the pure distillation of feminine

energy in rites venerating the shakti's vulva. This fluid, called amrita, or "elixir

of immortality" is sometimes believed to be vitalized with magical properties

transformative of human consciousness, an agent quickening the process of

Kundalini, the awakening of the Feminine Daemonic in the male. The female

amrita consumed in left-hand path sexual rites is considered most powerful in

shakti at the time of menstruation, a fact which has sometimes been compared

to the elusive "ruby elixir" referred to in Western alchemical texts as a

medicine for the soul. Erotic statuary in India's celebrated Khajuraho Temple

depicts scenes of ritual cunnilingus that indicate a strong left-hand path

influence. In the Chinese sex-magical tradition, the orgasmic flow of the

female partner's Bartholin's gland fluid was also thought to be a substance rich

with yin, the feminine life-force potable in a physical libation granting

immortality.

In both the Taoist and Tantric traditions, great emphasis is placed on

the necessity of absorbing the sexual secretion only from consorts

demonstrating obvious physical health and vitality. Illness is said to nullify or

even poison the effects of the amrita upon the adept.

Even within the sometimes austere constrictions of the Islamic world,

home to an ancient magical heritage, decidedly left-hand path sex-magical

traditions continue to be practiced by Muslim magicians. Often these involve

the use of sexual secretions and menstrual blood as sorcerous agents, as in the

societally disreputable but fairly common utilization of sihr sufli, which has

sometimes been described as a form of Arabic black magic. Such rites require

that the sorcerer performs a prolonged act of copulation with a female – as is

often the case in the Tantric Vama Marga, the sorcerer's consort must not be

married to him. It is also considered preferable if the woman is menstruating, a

condition every bit as much of a taboo within Islam as it is in Hindu culture.

At the completion of the act, the mingled semen, feminine secretions, and

blood are carefully permeated into an absorbent piece of fabric. The erotically

charged fabric is then ritually burnt, whilst the sorcerer calls upon one of the

djinn – the demons of Arabic sorcery – to act in his stead in the daemonic

realm. This rite, which draws on the veiled, repressed power of the Feminine

Daemonic surging beneath the outwardly male-oriented surface of Arab life,

is of course considered a defilement by orthodox Islam. As with all left-hand

path procedures, it is the taboo-breaking nature of the activity that endows

this kind of sexual sorcery with its force.


The Aghori's preferred initiatrix in sexual congress is a menstruating

woman of the "untouchable" lower caste, whose menstrual blood mingled

with his own semen is sometimes consumed at the conclusion of the rite.

This Aghori practice has a secular analogue in a modern Western "sect"

dedicated to taboo-transgression; a well-known rite of initiation for the Hell's

Angels motorcycle club decrees that the Angel must "earn his wings" by

performing cunnilingus on a menstruating woman.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Zeena Schreck Returns To The German Music Scene After 24 Years
Performing A Typhonian Tantric Ritual Soundscape at the Egyptian Museum, University of Leipzig


Presented by: Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival for dark music and arts. 
Saturday May 23, 2015 - Doors open at 7PM
Egyptian Museum of the University of Leipzig - Prof. Dr. Hans-W. Fischer-Elfert // Goethestraße 2 //
04109 Leipzig
Admission with the WGT pass // no reserved seating 

Description
After a twenty-four year retreat from the German music scene, this event is Zeena Schreck's return to
sonic magic performance-art appearances in Europe. An historical event by a legendary figure of modern
magic, mysticism and experimental-ambient music – this is more than just a secular musical concert. It will
touch the audience with divine blessings and plant the seeds necessary for spiritual liberation and
enlightenment.
Surrounded by the sacred, magically charged ancient artifacts housed in Leipzig's Egyptian Museum, the
performance will be a unique ritual soundscape. Zeena is also High Priestess of Seth and leader of
the Sethian Liberation Movement. Therefore, the Egyptian Museum is a prime genius-loci to present
ancient Egyptian aspects of Zeena's spiritual practices.
This is the second in a series of ritual musical installments inaugurated with the 2013 performance-art
event at The Community Church of New York
, curated by Performa-13. 

Historical Context: The Leipzig-Seth-Abraxas Connection
Professor Albrecht Dieterich, a student of the University of Leipzig, wrote the first study in modern times of
the god Abraxas with his influential Abraxas: Studien zur Religionsgeschichte des spätern Altertums
published in Leipzig in 1891. He was also one of the first scholars to work with the Greek Magical Papyri or
Papyri Graecae Magicae, a collection of ancient magical spells, formulae, hymns and rituals collection
from Graeco-Roman Egypt, a body of treatises essential to Zeena's work reviving an authentic Sethian
religion in modern times.
Continuing the Leipzig and WGT connection to the ancient Egyptian god Seth, Karl Preisendanz collected
the texts and published them in two volumes in 1928 and 1931. A projected third volume, containing new
texts and indices, reached the stage of galley proofs dated "Pentecost 1941", (WGT is always held on
Pfingsten or Pentecost) but the type was destroyed during the bombing of Leipzig during World War II.

Biography
Zeena Schreck (b. 1963, San Francisco/U.S.A) is a graphic artist, photographer, avant-garde musician,
author and animal rights activist. Between 1988-1993 she was 50% of the sonic magical musical project
Radio Werewolf and served as composer, vocalist, musician and graphic designer for all Radio Werewolf
albums and products.
At sixteen Zeena began lecturing and teaching magic and sorcery. At a comparatively young age, she held the
highest possible leadership positions in three of the most notorious occult orders of modern times: 
High Priestess of The Church of Satan, High Priestess of The Temple of Set and Female Alpha of The Werewolf
Order. This unprecedented status has never been matched by any other occult figures in history.
In 1990 she rejected all forms of satanism and western occultism and publicly proclaimed such pseudo-religions
as spiritually fraudulent and inherently destructive.
Since then, she has focused her spiritual pursuits exclusively in the mystical practices of ancient Gnostic
Sethianism
and the original Eastern left-hand path of Vedic tantra (Shaktism) and Buddhist tantra (Tibetan
Buddhism
). She is an initiated yogini in the tantric Buddhist lineages of Nyingma, Karma Kagyu and
Drikung Kagyu and teaches in Berlin.
