"HAUNT" - the 18th card in Eric Millar's ongoing Disruption Generator card series. A W†H specific "tarot" dispatched from a word generator that is then illustrated & posted, daily, by Eric. This one, "Haunt," is especially divinatory: if there was one word I'd consider to be the most powerful, the most enigmatic and important to describe WE THE HALLOWED, it would most certainly be "HAUNT." Mainly because the members of this art collective are referred to as HAUNTS (Haunters if you're into that whole brevity thing) as they encapsulate our biggest TETHER (or philosophical tenet)– the major idea that unifies all of us incredibly individualistic weirdos– into a collective of artistic seekers:
No one knows what happens when you die. Therefore, the only way to achieve immortality, for certain, is to Haunt On after we're gone through the art and ideas we created while we were here.
The card, along with Elizabeth Kennamer expressing that I need to properly introduce WE THE HALLOWED (along with myself) on our podcast, PRAGMAGICK, were the unsubtle synchronicities that converged into the universe poking and prodding me into reassessing and introducing what WE THE HALLOWED is, was and intends to be. I'm finding that there's confusion as to what or who or what woo we do here, exactly, as WE THE HALLOWED. This is understandable, as I, W†H's self-ordained Revelator, am unable to reveal the psychic machinations that are now afoot as We The Hallowed becomes an "egregore"–a living thoughtform with it's own laws and mechanics. But I can illuminate a near-sighted trajectory via our present and past projects as a means to soothsee upcoming ones.
ARTS, CULTURE & OCCULT BLOG
Currently we're in a productive frenzy constructing/reconfiguring the WE THE HALLOWED collective's newfound trajectory as an online occult, arts and culture resource (or blog...yuck) that was largely unplanned. Because of the fall of the notorious DISINFO.COM and thus, the end of my consistent weird and woo-based journalistic output, we naturally decided to turn what was an otherwise humble hub for the collective's many projects into a pragmatically consistent and content-based resource. So, I became wethehallowed.org's defacto "editor" – orchestrating and curating the multitude of articles, stories, art and music from current W†H Haunts*, as well as helping to midwife the fantastically original occult-based media projects such as the aforementioned custom tarot of Eric Millar's Disruption Generator. *If you would like to submit articles, stories, art, music or anything re
