'The Chorus has it wrong. It's not about subsuming the self to reach Oneness, it's that we've got to find a road together. Each of us has a spark of divinity in us, a primordial fire that must be nurtured to cleanse our bodies of impurities and allow our souls to reach sublime heights. If we fan that fire together, there's nothing we cannot overcome.'

Born to a Tibetan refugee and a local chorister, Azkander grew up indoctrinated by the faith- but it was perhaps religion-heavy household that drove him to seek out his own way, gathering adherents of a new faith. The Cult of the Phoenix is a low key group- equal parts neighborhood watch and sewing circle who buys into Azkander's big beliefs and bigger ambitions. Azkander's beliefs draw on those taught to him by his parents- western mysticism tempered with eastern truth-seeking, but a paradigm wholly his own. While his beliefs share much in common with the Chorus and the more traditional Cult of Ecstasy, the truth is that Azkander cleaves to neither of their core ideologies. Instead, he seeks a greater truth.

Azkander believes that each individual soul holds a spark of divinity, a piece of divine starstuff that can be nurtured by learning to shed the illusions of the physical world and connect on a primal level with primordial forces- a paradigm which has shades of Chorister Oneness and Hermetic Godform ideology but has transcended those to become something wholly new. This 'true communication' seeks the evocation of emotions to tear through the shells of stasis that continue to encroach upon the world. From a mechanical standpoint, this apes high ritual- Azkandar dresses up in a particular manner, effects a particular style of behaviour to gather 'favour' and 'faith', and through a primal- and oft tantric joining- he harnesses that power into something usable.

Azkander believes that reality as is commonly known is a reality viewed through the lens of oppressive banality, and only through shocking the Sleepers Awake can the true world be seen. Real emotions, sensations, experiences- these are at the core of transcending the built-up falsehoods that dominate the world. Through such things, the mind can be opened up, and awareness be spread to a sublime level, taking in a greater, superior world. This, coupled with playing to the expectations of those trapped in impure reality grants a sublime force of personality the will to do Magick.

History

The Ghost of La Rue, Azkander exists as a sort of local myth among late night party-goers and other night-owls. Like ships passing in the night, the young man is spoken of in chat rooms and on message boards by those who have seen a glimpse of him- and been smitten since. Azkander himself is both an orphan and an Orphan- awakened to Magick at a young age which warped his development. Growing up on the streets, he rapidly learned how to make people do what he wanted- and in the process cultivated a persona that encouraged others to help him out, no matter how forbidden his requests. In the process, he accrued a number of unfortunate disorders, including an addiction to sensuality and carnal acts that often drives him distraction if not regularly stated.

Paradigm

Azkander believes that reality as is commonly known is a reality viewed through the lens of oppressive banality, and only through shocking the Sleepers Awake can the true world be seen. Real emotions, sensations, experiences- these are at the core of transcending the built-up falsehoods that dominate the world. Through such things, the mind can be opened up, and awareness be spread to a sublime level, taking in a greater, superior world. This, coupled with playing to the expectations of those trapped in impure reality grants a sublime force of personality the will to do Magick.
