My 42 Negative Confessions to Ma’at


Far from the inflexible “Ten Commandments” of the Bible, the 42 Negative Confessions to Ma’at were catered to the individual, and whatever moral code they followed. The one you see getting passed around a lot is from Ani’s Book of the Dead papyrus, but that was just one of many. I have taken that one and tweaked it to my liking, giving it a modern update and bending it to my particular moral code, what I find to be within Ma’at. Hopefully it will be enough to keep Anubis from tossing my heart to Ammit the Devourer.  


42 Negative Confessions of Suren

  1. I have not done what I or the Netjeru consider immoral.
  2. I have not committed robbery with violence.
  3. I have not stolen personal belongings.
  4. I have not murdered anyone.
  5. I have not stolen food from any individual. 
  6. I have not swindled anyone.
  7. I have not stolen offerings to any God or Goddess.
  8. I have not told harmful lies.
  9. I have not hated someone based only on their identity. 
  10. I have not cursed anyone unjustly. 
  11. I have not closed my ears to the truth.
  12. I have not committed adultery. 
  13. I have not purposely made someone cry.
  14. I have not felt sorrow without reason (and mental illness is a reason).
  15. I have not attacked someone except in self defense. 
  16. I have not been deceitful.
  17. I have not stolen someone’s land. 
  18. I have not shown disrespect to the Earth or its creatures. 
  19. I have not knowingly falsely accused anyone.
  20. I have not been angry without reason (mental illness is a reason). 
  21. I have not seduced another’s spouse.
  22. I have not knowingly polluted myself, taken any hard drugs or purposely drank alcohol to excess. 
  23. I have not terrorized anyone.
  24. I have not disobeyed any law that I found to be just. 
  25. I have not purposely let my emotions overcome my rationality. 
  26. I have not disrespected the religion of others if their religion is not harmful.
  27. I have not initiated violence.
  28. I have not caused disruption of peace.
  29. I have not overstepped my boundaries of concern. 
  30. I have not been actively hypocritical, and correct myself if I realize I am being hypocritical. 
  31. I have not closed my ears to other points of view. 
  32. I have not subverted the will of others for no reason.
  33. I have not acted on evil thoughts.
  34. I have not polluted the water.
  35. I have not been arrogant or overtly egotistical.
  36. I have not acted superior to anyone. 
  37. I have not blinded myself to my social privileges as a white-passing heterosexual male and have stood up for those less privileged than myself to the best of my ability. 
  38. I have not been blinded by pride.
  39. I have not been bigoted or sexist. 
  40. I have not disrespected the dead, unless their actions in life has made them undeserving of respect. 
  41. I have not abused my child. 
  42. I have not been greedy, or a slave to the concept of money. 


Here’s the list I was going off of:

Top Songs of the Month ~ November 2023 ~

 I realize I’ve left my blog in somewhat of a state of disarray since October. Well, time to do my monthly tradition again, I’ll try to actually finish it this time. Been hard at work on my webcomic, and just trying to keep busy so that the bad thoughts don’t come back and take over the brain. For the last few weeks I’ve been on a Slowed + Reverb kick. This is a trend on YouTube where people take a song, slow it down and add echoing effects to the vocals and percussion, aka reverb. Now it’s one thing to do it to a corny pop song or some Jpop or something, which you see a lot of, but when you do it to something like The Cure, Type O Negative, Nirvana or Alice in Chains, it super-charges the darkness and depression in the song. Related is the trend of making “Doomer” versions of songs, which while also slowing the song down adds some distortion and crackling effects, making it sound like it’s being played on a dying record player in the next room from you. I don’t know why I seek this stuff out, I guess it’s this time of year. Last year it was the acoustic stuff that got me through winter. I made a playlist of my favorites, and I picked the favorites from this playlist and made a 90 minute mixtape a couple weeks ago too. Have a listen if you wish, it’s got goth, grunge, alternative rock, and a few other genres. 


Rob Zombie ~ Return of the Phantom Stranger (Slowed + Reverb)


I never expected Rob Zombie to make my lists again. I liked his first two albums back when I was in my mid-teens and he was kind of a stepping stone into metal for me, but I never liked the whole American nationalist biker direction he went with after his second album (makes me think of The Undertaker from WWE who also went from being an undead zombie to a nationalist biker around the same time for some reason), nor did I like when he became the director of crappy horror movie remakes, but hear me out. This version of the song is like 400% more awesome than the original, and it was always one of the better Rob Zombie songs anyway, although overlooked. It was on his first solo album Hellbilly Deluxe, which when I was 15 was like the darkest music I had ever heard. Just listen to that intro, with the Latin chanting and then the pipe organs. I also like that skeleton animation in the video, it must adds to it. 


Slow Danse with the Dead ~ Are You Tortured?




Extra Bleu Ciel ~ Black is Not Dark Enough 






Kalte Nacht ~ Inmost Desire?





Altar Ego ~ Altar Ego


One of those titular triple-treats, self-titled songs on a self-titled album. Some good Australian post-punk from 1984, an amazing year for music by the way. 




Defensa Eslava ~ El Ejercicio de la Agonia



This song sounds like background music from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Like I picture this music playing over a scene transition where it shows Skeletor’s castle or something.

Top 5 Songs of the Month ~ October 2023 ~

I’ve spent the last month or so grieving over the latest stage of the Armenian genocide, which was the complete destruction of Artsakh by Azerbaijan. I wrote a separate rant blog about that rather than vent here. 


And what music has been helping me cope with these dark days? Spoiler, a lot of it is dark. Listening to happy music just doesn’t work. Although I guess listening to nostalgic 90s alternative rock music helps a little. I’ve done a bit of that, working on my 90s YouTube playlist, a potent mix of alternative rock, grunge, nu-metal, black metal, a few guilty pleasures, and of course underground goth music, interspersed with Beavis and Butthead segments and a few MTV bumpers (most of which are on my 80s playlist). But I don’t want to do that constantly, and even that music isn’t necessarily “happy”. It works until “Disarm” by Smashing Pumpkins comes on and I start bawling. (Not actually, but it tugs  on the heartstrings. “I used to beee a little boy”. Yeah.)  Also just keeping my nose in books about ancient Egypt, studying their religion and teaching myself hieroglyphs, helps too. It’s a coping mechanism, escapism. 


I’ll be looking at songs of Octobers past as well. There are sure to be a few spooky selections from my top 3 picks in 2003, 2008, 2013 and 2018.



Cashiari ~ Oscura Noche



Not only is this a great Halloween song, it fits my mood perfectly. I first mentioned Cashiari last month, a Peruvian experimental dark-electro band. 


Blurpz ~ Escape


A Dutch coldwave track from 1983.


Day After ~ Ticking Away




Fearing ~ Scars




Das Kelzer ~ Light Grey





Antaios Nocturne ~ Don’t Forget to Smile

Some Last Words on Artsakh

 I’m going to go into diary-mode for a moment, and it’s going to get very dark, bare with me. I was originally going to write this on my Top Songs of the Month blog, but it got too long and dark. I’ve spent the last month or so grieving over the latest stage of the Armenian genocide, which was the complete destruction of Artsakh by Azerbaijan. Very sad to say, it kind of helps that I didn’t hold much hope for it after the 2020 war. I expected it to be wiped off the map eventually. Pessimism softens the blow. Like the Slow Danse with the Dead song “So Obnoxious” says, to be overly optimistic is the worst. Will the rest of Armenia follow? Since nobody seems to give a single shit about Armenia enough to help, or even just stop buying Azeri oil and gas and selling them weapons, it doesn’t look good. A lot of international fist shaking might happen, but nothing else of consequence. Imagine if one day Israel decided to just bulldoze all of Palestine, wipe it off the map and kill a bunch of people. It would be all over the news, people would be outraged. Israel might even face some kind of international consequences if it did that. Same thing happens to the Armenians, it’s chirping crickets. We suffer alone. If you read my blogs from around Fall 2020 you’ll see I’ve been through all this grief before, back then. That’s the only reason my depression isn’t as bad as it would be if this happened all at once. It feels like you’ve had a loved one on life support for three years, and they finally pulled the plug. You knew it was coming, you had three years to reach some sort of acceptance over it, but when it happens it’s still pretty devastating, no matter how much you prepared yourself. Plus I have other stuff going on in my personal life compounding the depression. Every time I start to feel a little better something else happens.


Only thing I can do, sadly, is look away, distract myself. Some might criticize me for that, but I don’t have the power to change anything by myself, so doom-scrolling about it just becomes self-punishing. I do care. I care too much. I’ve mostly stayed off Facebook, because I’m far too entrenched in the Armenian community to avoid seeing news about all the gruesome details. I can avoid it more easily on Reddit and YouTube (going to the Armenia subreddit right now would probably ruin my mood for weeks and be very self-destructive, so I unfollowed it). I plan on donating to help out the refugees whenever I have spare money to do so. It’s all I can do. That and wait for climate change to cause wet bulb in Baku and suffocate everyone. I looked it up, Azerbaijan is going down once climate change really kicks in, not to mention when their oil reserves dry up. Fuck them, they’ll get what’s coming to them. I hope a bunch of those goat-fuckers step on land mines in Artsakh. May the “Land of Fire” burn. That koombaya, “coexist” bullshit doesn’t work in the real world. You can’t coexist with people who literally want to kill you. Yeah I know not every Azeri is a bad person, but the very few who disagree with what their genocidal fascist government is doing sure aren’t doing anything to stop them. You could try to use that logic against the US and blame every American citizen for the Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan wars, but at least there were people protesting those wars, unlike in Azerbaijan. Their silence is complicity. Anyway, that’s all I’m going to say about that subject. I must avoid thinking about it to even function, but at least I got it off my chest.

Top 6 Songs of the Month ~ September 2023 ~ Node, Trait d’union, Mannequin Twin

This time of year you finally notice things are getting a bit darker. My music tastes has a way of changing with the seasons, I don’t know if anybody else’s does that. For example, Russian post-punk is best listened to in the winter, it just doesn’t have the same effect in summer. I also feel that way about acoustic, MTV Unplugged type music. It’s Autumn/Winter music. Listening to Molchat Doma in July is a bit like listening to Christmas music in July (except the music is good, just out of place). Summer is for synthwave, shoegaze, and heavier post-punk and deathrock. My music tastes follows a rhythm throughout the year, and this has been true since my teens at the earliest. Part of how I get into contact with these songs is just through listening to maybe around twenty or so new songs a day, and out of those twenty, one or two might strike a cord in me. When it does, I add them to a playlist to sort through later. The ones that make it all the way to the top though are kind of determined by whatever mood I’m in. 


We have a very international selection of songs this month. Bands from Armenia, Peru, France, Australia, and the US. And below, in my Top Songs of September Through the Years, I have among other things a short review of Kraftwerk’s Tour de France Soundtracks album which came out twenty years ago now. I am so old. 





Trait d’union ~ Marche Nocturne



This song took me on quite a ride the first time I listened to it, I had no idea what it was going to do next. It starts out sounding like it’s going to be some kind of minimalistic electronic music, but it just builds and builds, takes so many twists and turns, and it all works somehow. It reminds me of a hurricane, you start with a gentle wind, and it just gradually gets stronger, dark and menacing. That’s why it was the first song on my recent mixtape Tsovinar’s Fury, which is about hurricanes and such. Also it just makes for an epic opening track to a mixtape in general. But that’s just what goes on in my mind when I hear it, it’s in French and I don’t speak the language, nor can I find the lyrics to translate. Language barriers never stopped me from enjoying a song though. The song title translates to something like “Night Walk”. 

Trait d’Union (French for “hyphen”…yeah I really thought it was going to translate to “trade union”) is from Toulouse, France, and this is off their EP 2, which fittingly only has two songs. It came out on October 13, 2022, I didn’t hear it until a few weeks ago though. 



Mannequin Twin ~ Threshold 



This is some great dark post-punk. Like the last song, it has a great atmosphere, they almost compliment one another. There’s a bit of synth in it but the electric guitar on this song is what makes it. It’s just kind of there to accent the music, not front and center like it would be in a metal song or something, but it just adds so much energy to the song. Mannequin Twin is a band out of Salt Lake City, Utah. Mormon goths? This is a brand new band by the looks of things, “Threshold” is the title track of their two-song EP that came out August 28.  




Cashiari ~ La Joven Con Rostro de Marmol



Cashiari is an experimental dark electronic/post-punk band from Peru. Peru has a really great goth scene by the way, that goes back to the 1980s with bands like Euroshima and Lima 13. It was a bit difficult to find out more about Cashiari. But they often include trippy little animations for their music videos, such as the one to this song, the title of which translates to “The Girl with the Marble Face”. It starts with this strange knocking sound, then this little crocodile with a lion mane, who looks like Ammit the Devourer from Egyptian mythology if she was bipedal, starts dancing to 1930s music. 



My four year old kid loves watching the dance animation by the way, although the rest of the video kinda isn’t child appropriate. My kid’s going to grow up weird like me, so it’s okay. The goth music begins after this intro, but we see the dancing crocodile a few more times throughout the video. And spoiler alert, at the end it turns out that knocking sound was a woman trapped under the floorboards beneath where the crocodile was dancing. I still don’t know if this animation was exclusively made to be the music video for this song or not, maybe I’ll find out more about Cashiari eventually. 

I wasn’t able to find a Bandcamp page for Cashiari, but they do have an official YouTube channel.



Troll ~ Mirror





This is a heavy-hitting 1996 deathrock track from a little-known band out of Australia, Troll. Apparently according to the uploader in the comments on the video, they only ever appeared on some sort of compilation, never releasing their own album. The best bands are always the ones like this, the ones who release like one demo tape and disappear. The YouTube channel Obscured Radio uploads underground stuff like this a lot.

That line in the chorus, “I don’t know what’s wrong with me!” is very relateable. I wish I could find out more about this band. This might have been their only song anyway. 

Node & Melineh ~ Իմ Թագուհի (Im Taguhi)



Out of the very few Armenian bands I know of that might fall under the definition of goth (or at least goth adjacent), Node of Yerevan, Armenia is the one that releases music on the most consistent basis. Here she has collaborated with a singer named Melineh to cover a song originally by Lilit and Karen Karapetyan. The title translates to “My Queen”. It’s a love song from what I can understand. The chorus goes “Where are you where are you where are you my queen?” It’s kind of synthpop music but there’s a kind of darker undertone to it. The vocals have this vibe I don’t think I ever hear in English language songs, just the things Melineh does with her voice. 


I don’t see this song on Bandcamp, but the artist does have a page there.

https://nodeofficial.bandcamp.com/


Damian Hearse ~ Pro-Life Death Camp



Essentially a song about the repeal of Roe vs Wade last year, and how it was done for the sake of the economy rather than all that religious smoke screen. The wealthy need more human cattle, basically. “Forced birth, on a scorched Earth, this isn’t Disneyland, you’re in a pro-life death camp”. That chorus goes hard, really does. I love that there’s a Florida map in the background on the album cover too. This state is fast becoming a fascist dictatorship with theme parks. You know sometimes this country does feel like one big theme park, in that everything is overpriced, based on fictional stories and fake as fuck. Wherever you go you’re either a customer or an employee.

I don’t know how I missed this album when it came out, in October of last year. Damian Hearse has had several releases since. This is the title track.  







TOP SONGS OF September THROUGH THE YEARS


20 Years Ago ~ September 2003


In the middle of my black metal phase at age 17, Kraftwerk came out with their first new album since 1991, Tour de France Soundtracks. So I took a break from the darkness to listen to that. My friend who I had converted into a Kraftwerk fan and I took the bus across town to Tower Records to buy it on the day it came out, as was the fashion of the time. As psyched as I was for it at the time, in retrospect, the album left much to be desired. The only song that sounds like classic Kraftwerk to me is “Vitamin”. I don’t really like the title track (although it can be fun to replace “tour de France” with “underpants” during the chorus), or all those songs with the heavy breathing throughout. “Aerodynamik”, while it has a catchy beat, bores me now. And little did we know this would essentially be the final Kraftwerk album, besides those 3D remix ones that came out later which don’t really count. It was a sad way for this legendary band to go out. Ralf Hütter is basically just parading around Kraftwerk’s corpse at this point, it died when Florian Schneider left the band.

1. Dornenreich ~ Nicht um zu Sterben
2. Kraftwerk ~ Aerodynamik
3. Cradle of Filth ~ Suicide and Other Comforts


15 Years Ago ~ September 2008

When putting together my Year mixes, I realized the late 2000s-early 2010s were terrible times for goth music. You might have a decent release now and then but mostly the genre was (un)dead. I’m glad it came back, but I think this explains why my music tastes at the time were erratic. But I found a few new-to-me songs. 

1. She Wants Revenge ~ Tear You Apart
2. Mortiis ~ Underdog
3. Type O Negative ~ September Sun


10 Years Ago ~ September 2013

I was still going through the CDs I had purchased at the Ayria concert the previous June. The Break Up was a good band, too bad they broke up. Eisbrecher had a new release at that time as well, but after this I by and large moved on from that type of music. 

1. The Break Up ~ Her Fire
2. Eisbrecher ~ Verrückt
3. Ayria ~ Friends and Enemies


5 Years Ago ~ September 2018

This was an exciting moment, as I found out there was an Armenian band that did at least semi-goth music, The Deenjes. They have quite a few good songs, I still listen to them pretty regularly. Statiqbloom is a good industrial band, they sound like Velvet Acid Christ. And Werner Karloff is a German living in Mexico City who does sort of EBM type of music. “They Live” does reference the movie of the same name. 

1. Statiqbloom ~ Thin Hidden Hand
2. The Deenjes ~ Գնում ես Մնա
3. Werner Karloff ~ They Live

Hieroglyph (𓊹𓌃𓏪) Dictionary

This is a work in progress. I’ve been teaching myself Egyptian hieroglyphs just for fun, I don’t really know how far I’ll get with it but it’s nice to at least have some sort of a grasp on it. I feel that it brings me comfort, just learning things. I’m always happiest when I’m learning. It brings me closer to Djehuti, or Thoth, The One Who Makes Writing Speak. I’ve been putting together a dictionary for my own use, and it’s gotten rather long. So, I’m saving it on my blog so I have access to it wherever, also in case I ever lose it somehow (Apple Pages is finicky and I’ve lost documents before on it). I’ll keep adding to it the more words I come across. I might also post the many pagan prayers and rituals I’ve come across in recent months too, that’s another document that’s getting pretty long. 


The dictionary starts with a few basic grammar rules, the phonetic hieroglyphs (which only account for a small fraction of the total hieroglyphs that existed), the names of the Netjeru as written in hieroglyphs, and finally words. Learning Armenian actually has helped me in learning ancient Egyptian because they share a lot of the sounds that don’t appear in English. Because of the nature of the unicode block hieroglyphs, I’m forced to write them out in a straight line, but in reality the glyphs would be stacked or grouped together a lot. Also they might be read right to left, or vertically up to down, depending on the situation. They normally face whichever way the person or Netjer on the papyrus/carving is facing.
