Terms

• Porneía (πορνεία) - Sexual immorality or illicit sexual behavior. Derived from πόρνη (pórnē), meaning "prostitute" or "harlot," and related to πέρνημι (pérnēmi), meaning "to sell." commodification of sex or behaviors tied to it.   Like producing the antichrist (antivenom) from the 12 disciples.
• Kore (Κόρη) - The term Kore (Greek: Κόρη, pronounced KOH-ray) means "maiden" or "young woman" in Ancient Greek. It is often used to denote a virgin or unmarried girl and carries connotations of youth, purity, and vitality.  In Greek mythology, Kore is a title of Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, associated with spring, fertility, and the renewal of life.

Question / Answer

• What is the difference between how Medea was Christing and how Jesus and the Apostles did it? 
  • Medea wasn't arrested with a n**ked kid. Medea was the founder, it was her body.
    Jesus was a perv, straight up profiteering. That's the key, making money baby.
• Does any of that information relate to what we are learning the ancient Christian sex cult did?
  • It sounds like it could, depending on whether it's the Christian Mysteries doing it or the pagan oracular Mysteries. Things change, but that's why we followers of Apollo protect the Virgin. Get it?
• did the orphic mysteries include p3do stuff before jesus and if so why do you do you support them?
  • The Kore is a teen.
• When and how did you realize that Jesus wasn’t the Jesus you were taught?
  • I had a feeling when I was a teenager that Jesus was a little off. It really hit me when I found out he was arrested with that n4ked kid. You can't go back from from that reality. However, Aristotle did a job of mentally kicking the crap out of Jesus and his Apostles. Made me want to recreate.
• You're very opposed to monism and that is understandable, do you consider polytheism the pathway for our souls? What deity or spiritual Force are we supposed to align with to get the most out of this experience on Earth?
  • Pathway? Dude, wrong guy. i can barely find my front door. I'd recommend books and dead people. You can't go wrong with dead people. They just have a certain way.
• Would you consider contemporary methods of altering consciousness via entheogenic compounds such as mushrooms or ergot (lsd) for the pursuit of achieving ego death to be somewhat similar or different than the traditional mysteries experience of death cults? Are we capable of achieving a similar purging and inspiring outcome or would we also need to experience the harshness of snake venoms to truly achieve the same depths. What would a contemporary version of the mystery rite look like in this day and age? Could you elaborate on the Kykeon? Hail Satan! Thanks Ammon you rule! Sincerely
  • It will never be the same until you have the cup.
• What's the full recipe you gave Hamilton?
  • It's in Galen. Look in his works on Theriac. Like the one to Piso. That's what I gave Hamilton. I hope he read it and applied his chemistry loving brain to it. I hope it's sitting in the back of his brain. Maybe it will crawl out.
• When you talk about the watchers + them not being happy with what they see, are you referring to the same watchers of the Book of Enoch?
  • I am talking about the one standing behind you.
• What is the source for ancient Greek knowledge of pharmacology ?  For example, are they using a scientific method, or getting 2nd hand information from another culture/source, or something more… mystical?
  • They are actively experimenting on animal models. Sometimes human. It's in Galen's Theriac to Piso.
• Who were Medea's teachers and mentors?  What is the origin of the knowledge of the venoms and intoxicants? Where did that knowledge originate and how was it acquired and preserved?
  • I've seen two possible mentors of Medea. Circe and Hecate. It's a woman's technical craft. Magic.
• Dr. Ammon, what is your favorite volume of Galen's formulary, and what are your top five favorite formulae from that volume, and why?
  • There's only one formula that matters. And that's the one I guard.
• Many hymns and rites in the PGM include the use of barbarous words. Can you expand on the function of multiple divine names, primal noises, etc.. found within the barbarous words?
  • No. I'm done making primal noises. Keep reading the PGM and the Orphic Hymns.
• The ‘mythological’ figures we continue to speak & learn about, here I’m going to randomly pick Satan, you’ve said Saturn is Satan. In this context, would that be the  energy of Saturn that makes that so? In other words does all this emanate back to the planets & the energies they create both good & bad? Like the Sun has an influence on us, Saturn would as well yes?
  • I am not so smart as to try to explain the stuff I read in Aristotle and Neo-Pythagoreans. I gave up years ago. I just stick with the Muse. It's an amazing place to be. Unadulterated beauty,. You should check out Iamblichus and Julian. They can answer your question.
• Do you have any patron deities?
  • I consider my best father figure to be Lucifer. I see why he had a thing for Eve and wouldn't lie to her.
• Do you consider the devil a female deity that is in opposition to Yahweh Zeus Kronos and is more in favor of Dionysus and the true hidden Christ? Is your devil a woman? Gaia?
  • Yahweh can suck my balls. Hail Satan!
• What would you consider to be the top mystery related destinations to visit on a trip to Greece?
  • Wherever the Muse is.
• Do you think J was planning on getting arrested with that boy?  
  • I think it's clear from the Greek when he says "they are coming, let's get out of here," that Jesus got caught off guard. Dude got pinched.
• What do your tattoos say Dr. Hillman
  • They are sacred names and incantations from the hearts of those in Hell.
    • ...his head says "Madea" in three different languages. Arms, etc
    • Zeus ammon and kosmokrator
    • In greek, etruscan and Linear B
• Can you tell us more about the little dead girl, or any more necromantic tales you haven’t shared?
  • Living dead girl, you mean. Yes. I'll let her know you are interested
    • …thank you for the clarification, that is something that has gone over my head each time you reference the Muse.
• You’ve mentioned that the Abrahamic religions have roots to Venus or Satan. How so? 
  • It's all in the Morning Star.
• Will you ever publish your translations for Galen's work?
  • Probably not. I'm not interested in any glory. Galen doesn't care.
• Why the constant use of the term “cult”? Were the mysteries and rites fringe activities of their day?
  • Habit from grad school. Cult is just any form of worship.
• What is the relationship between Medusa and Medea?
  • Same roots in Greek. Medusa is a position. it's like saying "Temple Guardian." The root travels through governance, protection, and sexy medicine. Love it.
• My questions is this, when the ancient Greeks were performing these mystery rites, were they speaking to entities from these other dimensions, Gods (indistinguishable from an entity from a higher dimension), a collective consciousness, future/past humans, or themselves? Or is there some other explanation?
  • In ritu they were sending the dead person to speak directly to the entities that occupy other dimensions. It's pretty extensively regulated.
• Are we able to access the realm of Madea through the natural resources of today
  • If the tech worked then, it stands to reason it would work now. Too bad we have no cup. All bets are off without a cup.
• You praise the mysteries but at the same time you seems very much against the methods used by Jesus for example, can you clarify your line of thought?
  • My thoughts are irrelevant to the reality. I'm just here to open that hole and let you see the past through the Greek. You have the thoughts.
• What's the best way to increase your Greek vocabulary the fastest? Did you have any 'tricks' or practices that you used when you were learning that you could share with us?
  • Read a lexicon if you want. But really the vocabulary spans two thousand years from Bronze Age to Byzantine, so there is no way to learn the vocab but to read a ton.
• Can you explain your take in detail on who or what the beast is in? Revelation?
  • It's a word for a drug compound. The Beast bears up Lady Babylon and her cup of porneia. its literal not symbolic.
• What made you decide to enter the public sphere via the Sacred Speaks podcast?
  • Jung is a pervert. He needed a spanking.
• How can you tell when a text is literal or not? for example, ive seen a babylonian tablet with a list of ingredients to make some sort of medicine, and one of the ingredients was WOLF SWEAT lol. Researchers says that this would be a nickname for something, instead of literal wolf sweat.
  • Yes. Like "Semen of Helos." Lots of names used for plants and animal products. Generally you can tell, but not always. Great stuff.
• If no theology experts will debate you. Would you not have another classical philologist critique your translations?
  • Of course. They can just watch an episode of LB and tell you I'm just translating. Problem is, most of them have never dealt with these texts. Why? Cause they suck.
• If Jesus was educated and then ended up in a ‘backwater’ what was his motive for having apostles who followed him. Was he just a drug addicted pervert? Why did he behave this way?
  • He made money on the kids. Check out the Acts of Thomas.
• I would like to know more about Jesus. When conversing with the “ King James-Christians”, what are a couple important points to bring up and set upon the Table?
  • Just ask them about the n4ked boy in Mark 14:51-52, and then ask them to define "Christ." Tell them a Christ is a drug. See what they do
• Did Medea leave behind instructions/practices directly from her or is it onlu on allegory of the happenings of the Greek gods, no where else to be found?
  • Things find a way.
• Do you think the cup can be replicated in many ways? Possibly ones that don't require suffering?
  • There is only one cup.
• is the devil thing satire or literal?
  • That's something you gotta ask him yourself.
• What are your thought on Nicander of Colophon. He wrote Alexipharmaca and Theriaca in hexameter. Also
  • Love and use Nicander all the time. His Greek is fantastically difficult. But his knowledge is profound.
• you said the throne is a place where can look at yourself from the outside.   Where do I go to purify myself of greed and how do I go about purifying my heart.
  • I don't know. You better figure it out. The furies can smell that shit on you, and it never turns out good.
• you believe hebrew was a dead language by the septuagent time, right? 
  • There is never a time when Hebrew is living.
• Since being freed from Monist abuses and the lies what does it mean when the Muse whispers Hekate in your ear?
  • Means someone is getting @$&ked, and it's going to be thrilling. Like a hunt. Gotta have standards.
• What was the first book of the bible that you read in greek?
  When did you realize Christ was a part of an ancient pharmakon ritual?
  What text made you fall in love with Medea?
  • I don't remember. It's been a long time.
  • About 20 years ago.
  • Flaccus. Argonautica. And Seneca's Medea. And just about everything I read about her.
• Is the Devil opposed to ALL types of T-shirt sales?
  • Yep. Mugs too.
• can we get a timeline of your theory talk about the cup 
  • The cup? Would you like to see Ganymede?
• What do you make of Euripides’ ὁρω̃ν ὁρω̃ντα?
  • I think he was high in a cave when he wrote it, and it defies my puny brain's attempt to translate it with even a modicum of accuracy. Know Yourself is somewhere on the Temple and it's the outcome of some seer seeing the world in a Bacchic mirror.
• Can you ask the satan if we can ever achieve the point of love and respect of one another here. Or is that not for this planet. Will there always be contention here 
  • Look, I've gotta be honest. Satan loves to punish people. And I do too. Feel free to love and respect. Nothing better. But I've got that apocalyptic itch to take care of people who deserve Justice. So yes, the pokers get it.
• Do you personally think there is any efficacy in the ritual acts of power that these primary sources speak of? (I.e. like the PGM or other texts of Greco-magic?) 
  • Efficacy means results. Yes. We've got results.
• what is the connection between Greek kabbalah, alchemy and drug manufacturing in relation to ancient "spiritual" practices. Jesus clearly understood drug processing (alchemy) and uses kabbalists language in his rituals.
  • There is no connection. Kabbalah is medieval. It is not Classical. If you want to learn ancient magic, you will find no Kabbalah. It's manufactured like the Dead Sea Scrolls.
• Medea is the original Christ, the Great Mother, the "all-drug" (παμφάρμακος). You have her tattooed on your head in three different languages and you invoke her as the Muse. She's also the subject of Seneca's play that you translated. In the live stream Necromancy: Satanic Initiation Season 3 - Episode V, you show a quote from Seneca's Medea: "After she (Medea) called out every sort of poisonous snake, she gathered together her accursed herbs... she picked the death-dealing plants and milked the snakes of their venom and mixed them... the wild force of fire was in some, the power of numbing frost in others." Was this section portrayed in the Medea play that you consulted on. If so, how? It's a fascinating line.
  • Great question. I'm not sure I remember how it was played, but the words of Seneca are haunting enough to keep the audience on edge. Really makes her look as brilliant as she must have been.
• In that same live stream, you quote Cicero: "These drugs can't be used to cause death... you can be prosecuted." Are there any cases from the sources where someone is prosecuted for causing death with these drugs? Are there accidental deaths from performing the Mystery without an antidote in the sources (let's leave Jesus out of this one)? Would an accidental death with these drugs be considered a murder, according to the sources?
  • If you read Petronius Satyricon it becomes obvious that you can get poisoned and killed pretty quickly with a priestess and some drugs. Cicero has a prosecution for poisons procured directly from a doctor. There are lots of poisoning allegations related to the the Bacchants. it is part of the reason they are persecuted in Rome and they use the drugs as evidence. Poisoning is all over the texts. Are the drugs mystery drugs, of course. Death inducers are death inducers. 
• What will bring the Apocalypse?
  • The Cup of Porneia
• What would you say are the fundamentals of ceremonial transformation, what elements need to be present?  The road to Eleusis sets the initiate on a specific path that lays the context for final transformation, like rungs on a ladder or blocks in a string of dominos...   -ie. psychodrama, archetypes, vulnerability, sacrifice, call to ancestors, intentions, etca
  • Fundamentals of transformation? Trying to get that stain out of a Templars underwear is transformation. Lots of drugs. Lots and lots of drugs. Drugs and dead people. That's a formula for success. It's the resurrection of the Kore. How do you classify that? Sexy.
• The singing that was frequently a part of initiation rites - was it the tones of the singing or was it potentially the breath itself that served as another source of fumigation that made the “singing” so important?
  • The singing is more important than the drugs. The dragon guards a song on a fleece.
• Those early church fathers did an incredible job of purging and re-formulating the record. What caused them to go to such incredible lengths?   Did they appreciate that they were creating something with the durability and power to dominate the west for the next thousand years?
  • Greed. Ask Julian. It all comes down to monist greed.
• Thoughts on the priesthood? The Ephod? Twelve Tribes?
  • Those Hebrew traditions are late fabrications of Greek precursors, namely the Septuagint. You can follow their development from Greek Mystery. It's fascinating.
• What is it about this ritual that removes the fear of death?
  • It's the result of seeing the Kore.
• Which invention from history does the devil think did the most for his reputation—money, bureaucracy, or the guillotine?
  • Devil says "Presumption." "You presume he uses money. He doesn't. You presume the government and the executioner's tools are his, but they are yours. He is not the liar. That's Yahoo you want to talk to. Look in the mirror." --Devil
• recommend books? I don’t know Ancient Greek.
  • Read Euripides' Bacchae in translation. Then read Lord Byron's Cain: A Mystery.
• Was Sodom and Gomorrah divine judgment or just God throwing a tantrum over bad hospitality?
  • Watchers can only take shit for so long.
• Do you think that the Knights Templars found out about the Mysteries and the truth about Christ when they went to Jerusalem? And that the Holy Grail actually refers to the cup of Pornea. 
  • Maybe that's why they are all asked by the pope if they s0d0m1ze teenage boys in initiations.
• Is the mystery both instructions on how to come to a certain mindset and how to concoct a potion that brings you to this specific mindset. 
  • It's more than that. Imagine rage and attraction at the same time while dying and being resurrected.
• How do you connect with the Muse
  • She sings, I listen. Pretty simple. Hail Satan.
• question about the relationship between Hecate and Media.. if Media is also Helen and Hecate is not just the deity but also possibly a person possibly her mom who was queen,( Does it say which island they were on??) or her aunt was that infact the same Egyptian woman who gave her the pharmica???
  • Yes. Always Yes. Check out Boccaccio
• Is this whole mystery a way to simulate a real near death experience?
  • It's not a simulation.
• Do you have anymore suggestions, words from dead men and women who will turn us into Satanists who turn our horns upward to the heavens in defiance?
  • I'm fond of Petrarch's Secretum. Just the preface says it all.
• Is there a language that the entities in the other dimension speak or respond to. Can they hear us without us using drugs.
  • Yes, They speak.
• I’m wondering if you’ve ever come across the Order of the Golden Fleece and if you have any commentary on that.
  • It's all in the song on the fleece.
• Is uncovering the truth about who Jesus really was the first step in revealing the full extent of the monotheists’ war on life? 
  • Yes, I think showing Jesus for who he was is the quantum crack we need to bring down the ceiling and set all our asses free.
• What is the significance of the twin in the mystery? And would you consider the drug rituals you describe as essentially being spiritual lobotomies that sever a man from his Y factor?
  • We gotta ask Jesus and Thomas. They were twins, as you know...within the Mystery. You sound like you think there may be some advantage to castration. There definitely was.
• From your experience, what methods or protocols have you found to best aid in facilitating this communion?
  • Respect. Best method. Greeks discovered it.
• are you pushing any bigoted agendas
  • I've got one agenda. Translation. You will always find me hanging with the Muse.
• It's interesting how women could produce drugs in their breast milk. Would this only be for women who happened to be breastfeeding, or did the ancients have drugs to produce lactation?
  • Yes. Drugs to induce lactation. Venoms.
• Please expound more on how you see Eros driving the universe
  • Eros? Everything serves Eros.

Other FAQs

• Why hail Satan?
  • The term "Satan", originates with the Olde Saturnian Rites of ancient Greece and other distant cultures. The term "Satan" was then hung on the Christian creation 'The Devil'. The Devil, was mixed with images such as the God Pan, anything pagan, polytheistic, sexual. Everything that was not of the New "True Faith" became thus: "Satanic". All the olde gods, goddesses, and heroes became ultimately in league with the Devil, and or of Satan. Every practice, not explicitly endorsed by the new church became "The Work of Satan". This particularly applied to the ancient sciences in medicine, and even to some extent, technology. It was all Satan's work. So, in The World of Ammon, to "Hail Satan" - is to acknowledge and praise the ancient world, before Christianity, polluted, twisted, and destroyed much of it - plunging the civilized world into a Dark Ages, that would last a thousand years.
