Thousands of years ago, there was a man who was infatuated with a woman in his tribe. His father was a chief and arranged for them to be married, but things were rough. The girl was manipulative and took advantage of the obsession of the boy to gain the food he hunted and a room in his hut. He came back from hunting one day and did not see her in his hut, so he went to ask his father. To his horror, he found his wife sleeping with his father, and dragged her out by her hair to be shunned by the tribe. However, all of the men simply laughed because they had all already slept with the woman. The man became furious and went into the forest to make a deal with an evil god of bacteria. He slaughtered a monkey, an ibex, and a cow then fed to the spirit their bones, flesh, and dung. In exchange, the evil god would cause the girl a contagious rash that caused red bumps and pain to her and all who would engage in sex with her. He fled the town and made sure never to return so he would not catch the curse.

However, over thousands of years the curse put on humanity continued to spread until it became common. Modern medicine has not created a cure but ways to manage it. Many people died of the curse in primitive times, but the virus has evolved over so much time that it is now perfectly adapted to hide in the body and spread without causing the death of its host. Some magicians have said they are able to cure herpes and HIV through supernatural methods, but this may be somewhat difficult to do consistently or replicate on a larger scale and likely requires involvement of powerful love deities such as Venus or Aphrodite.

When humans were made from clay, their brains were added in and made from a pink fluid of the gods that allowed thetans to dock themselves inside of human bodies. Humans were perceived by the gods like artificial intelligence is perceived by us today, often poor imitations of life that could be distinguished and were just outputting responses based on what they were able to perceive, often saying things that were meaningless or that did not match conversations. The god of the moon grew impatient with letting humanity develop naturally, and created a new god to represent the brain. His name was Valtius and he helped shape the brain into how it exists today. He was given books from the library of the underworld on anatomy as well as the designs made for humanity by the goddess Vitruvia. 

Valtius created the left brain and enhanced its ability to process logic and do various forms of math, and the right brain was the creative form created by Valtius under command of Biachar. Valtius appears as a blonde, white, or silver haired man in his mid-twenties with glowing white eyes. He is not explicitly a moon deity, but he is deeply connected to Biachar as a servant of him. He is followed everywhere by three boys who appear to be between the ages of 12-15 who represent different aspects of the creative mind such as flexibility, originality, and curiosity. Sometimes they are his sons, sometimes they are friends or relatives, or they may even have different relationships to Valtius that we would consider unusual such as competitors, co-workers, or partners. They are referred to as the aspects of Valtius and can be worshiped on their own as well under the same name as Valtius and with the same practices.

Valtius is not worshiped at a shrine or summoned because he is present in all our lives as part of our mind. Being creative is the offering Valtius demands if any, and he can assist the magician with this. He can greatly help artists and those seeking solutions for problems that seem difficult. He is loosely associated with The Flowermaker and is sometimes said to be a distant relative of him.

The Bourgeoisie have doors open for them to live in most major cities in the world. If their presence was not bad enough on its own, many of them also gentrify neighborhoods that are historically primarily home to ethnic minorities. Architects in capitalist societies are also incentivized to design bourgeois cities that give the ruling class views on the rest of society or even build huge highways that hide the views of indigenous or minority communities of a city. While the city developments we see now may not be as overtly egregious as colonial developments that made white cities inaccessible to most native residents, the same concept is just applied along economic class lines (Which are intersectional with other demographics) which makes it subtle and less bothersome to those who aren’t familiar with class struggle or the conditions surrounding economic oppression that happens daily in cities.

Homelessness is met with spikes and railings on benches designed to stop people from sleeping. Encampments of homeless people are turned into parking lots if the police are not sent to brutalize them with batons. The regime even designs city centers in ways to make it easier for police to crack down on protests. Despite all of this, we do not see any improvements to the actual working class who are necessary for the continued functioning of the cities. The subways are still dirty, dangerous, and overcrowded since they are privately owned and during rainy seasons can even flood entirely. Infrastructure that benefits anyone except the bourgeoisie is so foreign to the United States that it seems alien and idealistic, despite it being ubiquitous in China or any place in the world that has freed itself from capitalist tyranny.

The world does not need another Dubai or Singapore where rightism, inequality and eugenics dictate infrastructure and city design. The world does not need another Tel Aviv or Washington DC where imperialist wars and genocides are planned. The world needs another Beijing, Pyongyang, Hanoi, or Havana where the masses are happy to live and have neighborhoods and transport designed for the benefit of the working class. Cities free from landlords, petit-bourgeois, and class enemies that are designed for the proletariat and only the proletariat. The masses must be allowed to defend themselves from gentrification, exploitation, police violence, poverty, and all the other inhumane practices of capitalist society.

When researching the pagan origins of the Kaaba, you will most likely find sources that are either for or against Islam, with two conflicting narratives depending on the viewpoint of the person. I am not here to comment on Islam but rather focus on the Kaaba before it was taken over by Mohammed and was used for the worship of ancient gods. I do not mean to offend or imply anything about other faiths, but I feel called upon by the energies and spirits of that monument.

Muslim sources say that the Kaaba was overflowing with idols of various deities. None of these exist today and the details of which deities or even their names are lost to history due to destruction by monotheistic peoples and deliberate erasure of pre-Islamic paganism in Arabia, referred to as Wathanism. Wathanism was very tribal with various villagers worshiping different deities, and it is also believed to have been very syncretic with intermingling with Egyptian and Greek deities.

It is said that Mecca was monotheistic until a merchant from the city went north to the Levant, and returned with an idol of a pagan god. He allegedly put it down in front of the Kaaba and said to the people this would be their new god. This seems unlikely because monotheistic people would probably not worship a pagan idol out of nowhere without any explanation of what it is or its meaning. It is more likely that the Kaaba was originally a sacred, pagan site until its hijacking by the prophet of another religion that overtook it by force. Like other sacred sites that are currently occupied by Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, the old gods stand by waiting for any of the faithful to call upon them.
