Yeah.. Wine of Aluquah=menstrual blood. Eye of Shiva=asshole(i dont remember where i've read this). What other interesting things does Therion sing about? Maybe there are some OTHER meanings?
What's wrong with you people???
3. When you say "drink the wine of Aluqah" you can not do it litterally, as Aluqah is not a physical diety. If someone prefers to drink real menstrual blood symbolizing the wine of Aluqah is a matter of (very) personal preferance, but for the majority of magicians red wine is equally strong to symbolize it. Either of it is just a tool symbolizing the energy in question. None is "better" than the other objectively. Then of course there might be a third personal preference in between where a small drop of menstrual blood dropped into wine to make it (in his/her opinion) symbolically stronger. Again, this is the personal preference making it stronger symbolically, from an objective point of view it makes no difference at all.
The official DR policy (as some people were speculating about what we do in DR) would be to use pure red wine, but if any individual would prefer anything else (provided it is not during an official meeting), it is not any of the business of the order.
4. People that say Therion is promoting DR have a pretty weird way of looking upon life. Should Chris not be able to have lyrics that inspire him just because some weirdo think it's "promotion of DR" because the topics are related??? AND none of those topics are exclusive of DR btw.
So please drop this bullshit about "I don't support DR", because nobody even asked you to have an opinion just because you listen to Therion and Chris is a DR member. If you're instested in magic and esoteric orders, THEN have an opinion, if you're just into Therion's music, then it's pointless to have an opinion about something that doesn't interest you and that you likely have very small or no knowledge about. By the way some of you guys write, it sems like one MUST have an opinion weither DR is good or not just because one listens to Therion. People that listen to Ozzy Osbourne doesn't necessarily have an opinion about Aleister Crowley just because Ozzy made a (on the other hand negative) song about him.
