Big Thanks to Humans vs Robots, Italian online magazine, for today's review of Zeena performing 'These Wounds Never Heal' on the new Sacred Legion album, 'The Higher Unknown'. Scroll down to read the English version of journalist Max Zarucchi's review, or read the original in Italian HERE.  English version:Zeena is a death rocker. If our attention span when reading an article were the same as it was twenty years ago, the incredibly intense life of a figure like Zeena would deserve several thousand words alone: only in this way would we be able to truly understand how much this featuring of hers is a unique and rare event. Her relationship with our Sacred Legion certainly didn't start yesterday (she was the one who chose both the band's moniker and the title of the 2020 album The Silent Lineage), but finding her voice on one of their songs is both a surprise for those who listen and a reason - and how could it be otherwise - of infinite pride for the band. Her deep and hypnotic recitation is undoubtedly the focal point of this brand new These Wounds Never Heal, where the music chosen by our guys to accompany the Divine is a perfect hybrid between the dark hard rock of the seventies and the most direct and evocative death rock of the 80s. There is no room for unnecessary embellishments: the bloody rawness of the piece is more than enough, while it literally kidnaps the soul at first listen. The Higher Unknown, the album in which this single is present, also gives us other special guests such as Adolphe Violet Le Duc (Chants of Maldoror) and Matteo (Spiritual Bats), which is why it will be difficult, in the genre, to keep up with it until the end of 2025: already a podium album, but it was inevitable for three musicians of the genre. Please take note. - Max Zarucchi, 14 March, 2025 ↦ Read also: Sacred Legion (feat.

Kaliyuga Clearing House is proud to present The Path is the Goal, the latest in a series of limited edition calendars featuring Zeena's photography.Release date November 1st; preorders begin Oct 31st. Personalized autograph option available in drop-down menu. The Path is the Goal is a Buddha-Dharma theme that emphasizes the importance of the journey in spiritual practice rather than fixating solely on the destination, such as Enlightenment or Nirvana. The same idea can also be applied to secular, worldly goals. More than ever before, we live in a world driven by and focused on instant gratification and addiction to the hypnotizing effects and dopamine hits from billions of endless social media streams, news, and advertising, all competing with each other for our attention. These monthly visual meditations nudge us to get off the hamster wheel and reground ourselves in the organic world, to breathe fresh air, to move our bodies, and to contemplate the value and meaning of our everyday lives and spiritual practices and to not dismiss the little things that happen “along the way” as meaningless. The Path is the Goal underscores the gradual transformative process of spiritual practice and life, which cannot be forced or rushed. The atmospheric images contained in this calendar, of different paths, remind us symbolically that there are many spiritual paths to follow, yet we're all reaching the same ultimate destination. The monthly images serve as reminder to experience the present moment fully and that the effort, motivation, and practices we engage in are as important, if not more so, than the attainment of an imagined spiritual endpoint, or in secular terms, a goal that may change over time or never come to pass, within this lifetime. So it is more important to find meaning and worth in the process (the Path), regardless of the outcome. The outcome works itself out when we're fully engaged in the process! About the Calendar: The finely structured, matte surface of Fuji Crystal Archive DPII photo paper (234 g/m²) provides an extremely natural and noble appearance. The matte finish makes it virtually free from unwanted reflection and resistant to fingerprints. Archive quality suitable for cropping and framing after use. Dimensions: 20.3x30.5cm / 8”x11½”  [Posted by T.M. 31/10/24]

Big thanks to author and industrial music scholar Nicholas Diak for his great review of Zeena's latest music project Transcend!!! |
 [posted by Thomas] | This design incorporates a detail from a larger work, entitled 'The Contending of Horus and Seth' created by Zeena which first appeared in her book 'Demons of the Flesh. |
In the ancient Egyptian calendar, the third epagomenal day of the year - the equivalent to July 16th of our current Gregorian calendar - was celebrated as the birthdate of the most powerful of all deities Seth/Sutekh. Today we celebrate with the unveiling of a Sethian talisman created by Zeena (Hemet-neter tepi-Seth) especially for the Nativity of Seth. Made in the ancient magical spellcasting tradition during a trance-meditation state, the original of this Sethian talisman is designed and hand-inked on virgin linen with the prescribed religious ointments. Zeena now shares the magical working on a new apparel item so that like-minded spiritual practitioners may benefit from it and writes:
"The graphic incorporates two glyphs representing the ancient Egyptian god Seth in his zoomorphic canine-like form and as the ancient Egyptian symbol for His name, which is also the symbol of the Sethian Liberation Movement (SLM).
Encircled by a Sethian incantation text from the Greek Magical Papyri, the letters in spiraling format represent the churning waves and confusion of endless cyclic existence. The words themselves are an invocation for stability within the sea of samsara.
When the talisman is worn over the heart chakra, as it is on this shirt, its intended effect is of an ancient pectoral to calm the heart and promote strength in the central channel and spine, fostering a sense of centeredness within chaos – as with the calm in the eye of the Storm.
And with that, on this sacred day, and always, may you enjoy Happiness and the causes for happiness and Peace in the Eye of the Storm! -SLM-" ~Zeena

Message from Zeena:
“How many of our lives would feel incomplete without our magical familiars, totem animals, or service and emotional support animals? How many of us also feel compassion for the unseen, forgotten, unloved, feral or endangered animals? Within my 'Blessed Beasts' calendar, each tableau reveals the deeper emotional intelligence of the lovely creatures depicted. Sometimes it's in their expression, their body language, a knowing glance or an attitude which conjures a sense of loyalty, companionship, nobility, or wisdom. For pagan and shamanic religions, all animal species have inherent magical powers associated with and symbolizing different aspects of different gods. On the basis of my Tibetan Buddhist yogic training, I patiently develop a rapport with the animals I photograph by chanting specific tantric Buddhist mantras which gradually relax and open the beasts to loving-kindness and the liberating vibrations of these ancient sacred syllables. Hence the title, 'Blessed Beasts.'
In relation to the theme of the 2021 calendar, as well as October being World Animal Month, I ask you to consider donating or volunteering to any animal welfare organizations of your choice (if you don't already). In these difficult times, during the world-wide pandemic and its collateral damage, let's not forget the brave warriors who risk their own safety, health and emotional well-being to continue caring for animals in need. I have my preferred animal aid organizations to which I regularly contribute. But it really doesn't matter whether you do so for a small animal protection group in your own town, or to the neighborhood feral cat lady or bird man who contributes their free time caring for injured and sick wildlife, or whether you choose a reputable international organization – please consider making a donation to help any of them!
For more information on spiritual practices for your animals, including prayers for sick and dying animals, I recommend Lama Zopa's Enlightenment for the Dear Animals website at https://enlightenmentforanimals.org/
In closing, I send blessings and prayers to all animals and those humans who help them, and especially those who have suffered and perished this year as the result of natural and man-made disasters.
May the creatures you aid today return to you as Enlightened Mother Beings of your future lifetimes!

Brief History of World Animal Day/Month:
'World Animal Day' is celebrated each year on October 4th. World Animal Day was originated by the specialist in canines, Heinrich Zimmermann. He organized the first World Animal Day on 24 March 1925 at the Sport Palace in Berlin, Germany. Over 5,000 people attended this first event. The event was originally scheduled for 4 October, to align with the feast day of Saint Francis of Assisi, a nature lover and patron saint of animals and the environment. However the venue was not available on that day. The event was moved to 4 October for the first time in 1929. Initially he found a following only in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Czechoslovakia. Every year Zimmermann worked tirelessly on the promotion of World Animal Day. Finally, in May 1931 at a congress of the International Animal Protection Congress in Florence Italy, his proposal to make 4 October World Animal Day universal was unanimously accepted and adopted as a resolution. Today, World Animal Day is a global event that unites the animal protection movement agencies and has expanded to encompass the entire month of October with different events globally.
