God Of Punks, Briggs Anarchus!

19:34 / 01.12.02

Oh yes folks. there is a god, a real god even for punks!
Briggs Anarchus. Familiar to anyone? new god to me, just started working with him. Anyone got some info or anything for me? He´s on covers of Exploited albums, feeds of the energy of the Mosh-pit.
A skull and a mohawk guy... Anyone has some more info/stories whatever on this funkyfella?

I made contact with him, or maybe he with me, what do i know, anyway. A chaos-star, circle-A, a skull, a pentagram drawn on my floor. 3 wooden skulls, 3 candles, some crow feathers, a bunch of ciggarettes, a Extreme Noise Terror tape, shamanic drumm cd, porn movie did a great ritual. 2 beers and a cup of coffee as sacrifice and then of to a crustpunk/deathmetal show. 2 beer in Briggs honour and of to start the moshpit. Something happend thats for sure. But first i had to get a elbow in my face to give him some blood. I feelt like a berzerker trooper all night. No fights, feelt like someone protected me, i scared of some guys wanting to fight by just looking at them (im a small skinny guy i cant fight) I must have looked completly nuts. 2 of them fightguys immedletly went of to start a fight with someone else. It was wierd. was very tird when i got home. Not in the way im used to, there were almost a feeling of something left my body, total enegy drain, not a the dayafter tired.

I've never heard of the God in question, but that sounds like it was a fantastic bit of magic. Energy drain on the comedown is a good pointer that stuff was going on beyond the normal night out.

how about the goddess of punk? y'know a feminist vegan anarchist. (semi-serious about this.)

09:07 / 09.12.02

We realy need a Goddess of Punk too. My original idea was to find a Goddess of Punk, no success and then someone on the (Z)list told me about Briggs (maybe someone just made him up on the spot but that doesnt matter) and then he started showing up in my dreams and stuff. So i started workings with him. But we realy need a Goddess (so do Briggs). Im trying to locate a goddess.
Lets do it together! Wouldnt a goddess of punk some sort of discordian entity? Maybe we should ask Eris for help...

HEY! Wait a sec.!
i remember something...a dream, a couple of dreams actualy. It all started with my girlfriend going to a party at the end of the night my girlfriend talked to 3 punk/goth/alternative/indie rock girls. And then suddenly they were gone, she asked the rest of th eparty were the girls went. Everyone else said there hadnt been any girls like that there. 5 minutes later they were there again, same thing no one else sees them. She was feeling bad and sick and stuff but the girls made her feel better. No one else saw them, no one at the party even knew girls like that.
Anyway they showed up in 2 dreams she had and then in mu dreams.And one night doing some shaman travelling stuff that started to go bad i suddenly felt 3 persons sitting behind me, stroking my hair and back and protecting me. And other things lik ethat have been happening, often when using punk or goth music and stuff related to that. I even meet them on shamantravvels when using music by Sonic Youth.
They look like Emily Strange, Leonore the dead girl or people like them...

So maybe theres 3 Punk Goddesses! I think maybe they have different avatars to suit different people and different occassions...

Why havent i thought of this before? Work needs to be done. (maybe we shouldnt call it work, it is more of a invitation...)

Intuitive impression: the goddess of punk is anger, rage, but she's (they're?) vegan--there is some kind of blend of rage and compassion here.

In her goth aspect, she is Sorrow, internal, self-knowledge--is she the dark night of the soul, internal anguish, a dark self-consuming aspect, or is she the healthy acceptance of mortality, decay, and so forth?

There's another brash, bright, loud and fun aspect that will not hesitate to deck you if you need it, but I lost my train of non-thought.

Ask Tank Girl... She'll know.

20:26 / 15.12.02

So now we got 4 gods of punk! One fellow named Briggs Anarchus. I see him alot, hiding in the corner of my eye. I feel him, filling me with anger, energy, strenght and stuff like that.

And then the 3 girls, Emily, Leonore, Sarah. Yep, they told me thats there names, im not realy sure if i trust them on that... they like to play tricks on people and pranks and stuff. They have different avatars, different names from time to time. Ive seen them to alot, there here to protect me, play with me amnd alot of other stuff i dont know about.

We need to collect stories about all 4 of them, urban tales and legends...
