Individual copies of Libraries, bookstores and bookseller collectives can place bulk orders through Ingram Books, Ingram International, Baker & Taylor, Coutts Information Services, and a large number of other distributors worldwide. E-books on Kindle can be ordered through amazon.com, amazon.co.uk and other amazon affiliates worldwide. An interactive e-book containing the entirety of BookFinder.com lists the latest releases from Phantacea Publications along with a goodly number of additional booksellers carrying them. Also listed therein are almost all of the PHANTACEA Mythos print and e-publications, including the graphic novel and some of the comic books. Another interesting option for the curious is Chegg, which has a rent-a-book program. Thus far its search engine shows no results for phantacea (any style or permutation thereof) but it does recognize Jim McPherson (a variety of them) and the titles of many releases from Phantacea Publications. As for the Whole Earth (other than the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head, at least as far as I can say and always assuming it's still around in what be its 61st century), well, this page contains a list of a few other websites where you can probably order the novels in a variety of currencies and with credit cards. Of course you can always email or send me your order(s) via surface mail. No matter where you live or what currency you prefer to use, I'll figure out a way to fill your order(s) myself. Just be aware that I can only accept certified cheques or money orders. Plus, I'll have to charge an additional 12% to cover Canadian and provincial goods and sales taxes as well as Canada Post rates for shipping. I do use bubble mailers, though. |
LAMIA
In the PHANTACEA Mythos lamia are women who, after dying giving birth, become changeling horrors that feed on the spirits of newly deceased children. They are therefore psychic vampires who can take the form of a screech owl or a winged serpent (a wyrm) as well as, albeit only at night, their original, non-pregnant human form. Among the lamiae who appear in PHANTACEA are Neith, Lathe, Lamia Lou, Olympias Sangati, Aerobe Heliopolis, Britomars Zeross and the Magdalene. The first two figure prominently in 'The Moloch Manoeuvres'. The rest don't appear until 'The Vampire Variations'.
There's a gold-mining box regarding lamiae in the first set of synopses for 'The Vampire Variations'; as stated in the 8th chapter of 'Coueranna's Curse': "Cain, Slayer of Abel", Lamia is also the name of Droch Nor's wife, Amemp Tut's mother; Top of Page - List of Lynx - Bottom of Page LynxMARK OF CAINa sun disk with an 'X' in the centre of a circle; after he slew Abel, the mark was branded into the middle of Anti-Patriarch Cain's forehead by God the Singular; a circled-X was also the symbol of Xuthros Hor, the Persian Mithras or Ahura Mazda, and the Greek Sun God Helios much later on in recorded history.

- once they became individualized and solid, circa 2000 YD, they started having azura children by each other; unlike them, azuras rarely attained individuality let alone solidity; see also Byronics, Lazaremists, Mithradites; there are photo essays on a number of Mithradite Master Devas, all of them female, beginning here; on the same page is a photo essay on the four primary Apocalyptics (War, Death, Disease, and Catastrophe) as they appear in " Top of Page - List of Lynx - Bottom of Page LynxOMPHALOS- comparatively small, egg-shaped 'raised navels'; often just boulders made out of Brainrock; related to eyeorbs or prison pods , which Trinondevs carried atop their eye-staves, and 'Orphic' Eggs;
- re the Tholos Tomb for Pygmies, in both '36 and Feb '38, the way through Cathonia to the Wishing Hell or Totem Pool (think Cleopatra's rejuvenating bath) was facilitated via Young Death in combination with a devil's Brainrock power focus or Tvasitar talisman (respectively Nergal Vetala's moon-sickle, which the forever-7 Male Trickster had acquired from somewhere, and Abe Chaos's trident); however, Wolfgang Shekment did not require a power focus in order to cut through it, and his victim, over the Christmas season of '37/8; he used a regular camping knife; - that the sacrificial victim in this case, Barsine Mandam, survived was due entirely to the fact she was not so much possessed by a Master Deva as she was a not-entirely-mortal incarnation of one; [NOTE: the mouse-over behind this picture reads: "Reconstructed omphalos spotted in Delphi, Greece, photographed by Jim McPherson, 1995"; as I discovered while I was in Delphi, at one time an identical omphalos stood in Sais, Egypt; evidently, in what would have been a potential entry in Serendipity had I a webpage in 1995, it was placed there by Alexander the Great; there's more on that Great as well as PHANTACEA's Alexandros "Pluman" Kinesis here; the main entry on Alexandros Kinesis is here;] Top of Page - List of Lynx - Bottom of Page LynxSEDONISTS or SEDONITESother terms for the devazur race; see also The Moloch Sedon, The Thrygragos Brothers, The Trigregos Sisters, Byronics, Lazaremists, Mithradites; There's a short discussion on the Biblical Sheddim in the topic section of the Winter 2000 Web-Publisher's Commentary. Top of Page - List of Lynx - Bottom of Page LynxSEDON'S HEAD
once the archipelago of Pacifica, the Places of Peace, in what's now the Northern Pacific Ocean; the thought-sunken continent known by tradition as Lemuria as well as Eden's Zoo; since the Great Flood of Genesis also called the Inner Earth, Big Shelter, the Head, the Headworld, after the Great Flood or Genesea, when the North Pacific basin surrounding the archipelago emptied out and the Moloch Sedon raised the Cathonic Zone to protect it, the resultant dry land was terra-formed by Master Devas and their Thrygragos fathers into a likeness of their All-Father's head, left side perspective; their All-Father is the Moloch Sedon;
devic protectorates dot the Head although, particularly after Thrygragon, many of these smaller areas were amalgamated with much larger areas such as are now found in the Lake Lands (Sedon's Sweat Glands), Satanwyck, and Crepuscule, the Land of Twilight (Sedon's Outer Nose); many more were rendered uninhabitable by the Idiot Twins to mark the end of the The Empire of Lathakra circa 4825 Year of the Dome (YD); for the most part, the Subcontinent of Godbad belongs to Byronics collectively while much of the Cattail Peninsula (Sedon's Ponytail) retains small protectorates over-lorded by Lazaremists; initially much of the Upper Head was the exclusive preserve of Mithradites, but this no longer holds true; in fact, great swathes of the Upper Head, Sedon's Cheek, Hadd, and the Occipital Regions are entirely devil-free; As Time Goes by on the Hidden Continent of Sedon's HeadTime is measured in Years of the Dome (YD); Year 0 was the equivalent of 4000 BC; our Year 0 Anno Domini (AD) was therefore the Head's Year 4000 YD;
The twelve months are variations of names antique Illuminaries of Weir gave to Master Devas circa 3300 - 4100 YD; over the intervening centuries they have changed more than a few times; Most of the Head celebrates the new year as we Outer Earthlings probably should, on the Spring Solstice; the major exception is Satanwyck (Sedon's Temple, capital city: Pandemonium, once the Domain of All Demons), wherein it's celebrated on the feast day of the reigning Prime Sinistral or vice-regent (Sedon's the real King of Hell); that is to say, on the first day of our February; (NOTE: in As of 5980 YD the Lazaremist Ternary is Surma (after

- filled almost entirely with devic spirit beings (the lone, long term exception being Cabalarkon, the Undying Utopian Sedon regarded as his father and whom he kept alive in a tub of Cathonic Fluid), it was how devas got about after they left New Weirworld and began their multiple-millennia trip through the cosmos; - when it landed atop Droch Nor and the Gregarian Fields during the Golden Age of Humankind, it dissipated upon impact; at that point in time thereafter (until the Xuthros Hor called up, as well as down the Genesea in the Year Zero YD anyhow) devils were loose upon the Whole Earth in great numbers; - there's another entry re the Sedonshem here and a colourized version of this drawing here; the largest version of this last can be found here, which is where you'll also find more info on what it landed upon in 669 Pre-Dome; Top of Page - List of Lynx - Bottom of Page LynxSHAMIR
then again, Alorus Ptah probably already had something similar when he or his descendants constructed the twin Sphinxes in Egypt and on the Prison Beach of Incain at the foot of the Cattail Peninsula on what was then Pacifica-Lemuria. Top of Page - List of Lynx - Bottom of Page LynxSOUL SINKS
Other soul sinks that have appeared during the course of PHANTACEA on the Web include the rainbow swath old Joe used to capture and hold onto the Unholy Ghost until her baby sister, Mnemosyne D'Angelo, releases her in 'The Moloch Manoeuvres'; the crystal skulls Hellions, Valkyries and Rakshas demons use to carry around Sangazur spirit-selves, and even the acorns faerie dryads possess in an unserialized, but now print-published, PHANTACEA Mythos novel entitled 'Feeling Theocidal'; The ringots Angelo Zeross (the first Ringleader) acquired during the Simultaneous Summonings of 19/5920 were similar to soul sinks except they only captured and held onto devic Spirit Beings (not the power foci or Tvasitar-talismans that helped keep them solid individuals); as such they were very similar, if perhaps not quite identical, to Trinondev Prison Pods [the eyeorbs atop their eye-staves]; As Hush [born Pandora Mannering] puts it to Mama Goldie [Gilda nee O'Ryan Dre'Ath] in VolVar-1 :
Ringots were made during the expansion of the Empire of Lathakra, circa the 48th Century of the Dome, by Tvasitar Smithmonger, the devic Prometheus; because he made them, devils could use them too:
Top of Page - List of Lynx - Bottom of Page LynxSPHINXES
the Male (non-winged) Egyptian Sphinx and the Female (winged) Headworld Sphinx, All of Incain, are related after a fashion. Both date to before the Genesea and both amounted to prisons where devas were incarcerated for long lengths of time.
The Egyptian One, which was arguably built by Celestial God, is now moribund, just a lump of stone. However, the Headworld one, which was almost definitely built by Alorus Ptah centuries before his death at the hands of Anti-Patriarch Cain, is still conscious and still holds devils, though she/it dwells mostly between-space. In another unserialized, PHANTACEA Mythos mosaic novel, this one entitled 'The Thousand Days of Disbelief', a couple of pertinent to 19/5980 points are made (this despite the fact that 1000-Daze is set, among other times, in 4824/5 Years of the Dome):
People and mantels, but not devils (other than Pyrame Silverstar), can traverse the Cathonic Dome via All the Invincible. Some said that, in the late Thirties and right up into the Sixties, for those who knew how to use its obvious doorway, the Male Sphinx also maintained a link to its former Female Mate on the Headworld.
There's a rather raunchy BLOCKQUOTE from 'Feeling Theocidal' regarding Andy and Ginny in the Daemonicus entry on the Pivotal Characters web page. Here's another highly suggestive BLOCKQUOTE from the same source regarding the two sphinxes. It occurs in the Year 725 Pre-Dome (PD), the same year - not at all coincidentally - that Anti-Patriarch Cain supposedly slew his father, Alorus Ptah, the Biblical Adam (though technically, if you want to get all Adam-anal about it, Ptah's the second Biblical Adam).
Top of Page - List of Lynx - Bottom of Page LynxTAUROBOLIUMa Mithraic manhood ceremony during Roman Times; a precursor of tauromachy, the art of bull-fighting; an equivalent notion is found in the Volsung Saga, when Sigurd slew Fafnir and became nigh-on invulnerable as the dragon's blood washed over him; the worshippers of Isis and Cybele, Magna Mater or Meter (Demeter), also performed the ritualistic Taurobolium Ceremony of Slaughter; in their case though the bull's blood was said to water the ground from which corn (Kore) and grain (Ceres) would grow: in the PHANTACEA Mythos (that is to say January 1938), in the peculiar form of modern day Mithraism practised by Count Molech and his followers, the bull had to be subdued by a Leo then sacrificed by a Persian; the synoptic reference is here; interestingly, in the above graphic, Mithras (actually Chrysaor Attis) is depicted slaying the bull under the supervision of the sun (male, upper left corner) and the moon (female, upper right corner); in terms of the PHANTACEA Mythos the sun would be the Male Entity (Heliosophos) while the moon would be the Female Entity (Mnemosyne); he's also shown flanked by his two torch-bearers, Cautes and Cautopates; in terms also of the PHANTACEA Mythos they would be the Idiot Twins Spring (Tammuz) and Autumn (Osiraq); the third member of Mithras's Seasons, Summer, is called Novadev; in PHANTACEA; Sedon cathonitized Summer because he got drunk with Helios (pHant's Herr Hel in his 2nd Lifetime, that of King Cadmus of Thebes) and ended up blowing the heart out of Strongyne, the Island of Strong Women, thus bringing to a terrible end the 500-year long Mad Goddesses' Middle Sea Matriarchate on the Outer Earth; at the beginning of 'Helios on the Moon' it appears Colonel Avatar Sol, the overall commander of the Cosmic Express, acquires Novadev's attributes because he promptly blows up; Top of Page - List of Lynx - Bottom of Page Lynx- talking rat-like, presumed demons who will tell a story if you pull its tail; - tee-tee tails can also be read, if you knew how;
Top of Page - List of Lynx - Bottom of Page LynxTHOLOI GHOST (GUEST?) HOUSESa tholos, or tholoi in the plural, is a word which means beehive and also describes what was thought to be their original shape; smaller ones are called Omphalos or 'raised navels'; generally speaking all that is left of these Tholoi are circular foundations shaped like a British Bandstand, a carousel, or even Stonehenge, though rarely composed of Standing Stones; the Mycenaean Tomb of Agamemnon is a Cyclopean Tholos while there are many such structures found on the Island of Crete; tholoi foundations have been found in Olympia, Athens, in the Roman Forum (the Temple of Vesta), and at Delphi; tholoi have also been located in Anatolia and Mesopotamia while similar structures have been identified on just about every continent; most of the lynx in this entry lead you to images of tholoi; not everyone believes they were tombs; some think they were shrines, guest houses for the gods; in the PHANTACEA Mythos, the altars generally found in the antechambers may have once been Brainrock since tholoi, circular structures of any kind, may once have been teleportation chambers used by devils to go beyond the Dome; over the centuries however, Xuthrodites and Anthean Witches tore them down to their foundations.

as per an unserialized, but now print published, PHANTACEA Mythos mosaic novel entitled 'Feeling Theocidal', the Utopian equivalent of vimanas are known as cosmicars; the same as those on the Cosmic Express flown by the likes of Cosmicaptains Dmetri Diomad (Vetala's Soldier in 'The Trigregos Gambit') and Mikelangelo Starrus (Lord Yajur's shell in 'Helios on the Moon'); there's a description of a cosmicar here; [NOTE: To this day, and not just in India, vimanas are considered airships of the gods. At the Jain Temple in Ajmer, near Pushkar, Rajasthan, there are supposedly many models of them hanging from the ceiling in one of its main rooms. Unfortunately, because of time-constraints I was unable to visit that particular temple when I did a tour of Rajasthan in 2005. There is, however, a TIMP having to do with my trip to India on the Web. In it are some notes re a couple of idols I spotted while there who do have a bearing on the PHANTACEA Mythos.]Top of Page - List of Lynx - Bottom of Page LynxXUTHRODITESmore correctly, the Illuminated Faith of Xuthros Hor; named after Xuthros Hor; Xuthros Hor was the Biblical Noah, the father of Ham, Shem, Japheth, and
a number of daughters whose names were mostly lost in time; Hor appears with
a raven's head (if not Raven's Head) on the front cover of Xuthrodites often, though not always, marry Antheans; devils tend to refer to them, disdainfully, as Horrites; Loxus Abraham Ryne became the patriarch of the Illuminated Faith after his father, Noah Charan Ryne, died during the Simultaneous Summonings of 1920; there more on the Xuthrodic faith here; Top of Page - List of Lynx - Bottom of Page LynxYsY-vision refers more to prognostication that precognition; the letter Y is its symbol; the two-prongs represent the two eyes, the long shaft the resulting vision of the future; Ys-dom is another word for this vision; Illuminaries of Weir still speak of Old Weir's Visionaries but there are none on the Inner Earth; |
A Lion-Headed God
Here's how Djinn is described in the early stages of
(NOTE 1: Mithras deposited his recent meals on the floor of the Tholos atop his Mithradium because Sedon's Demon Child, who'd self-named herself Tralalorn, had just ridden along the summit of Theopolis Hill riding Stynx, her latest 3-headed chimera.)(NOTE 2: double-click on above image to open a new window with an enlarged picture of same.)(NOTE 3: there's more on Djinn Domitian (along with another image suggestive of his demonic, angelic and trumpeting talents in its masthead, this one by one of my all-time faves, Hieronymus Bosch) here)Top of Page - List of Lynx - Bottom of PageA God (Ahura Mazda) Riding a Winged Disk, Possibly a VimanaDepiction of a god suggestive of a two-eyed version of one of PHANTACEA's Three Great Gods, Varuna 'Aryanman' Mithras. Quite conceivably the object he's carrying in his left hand is a Shamir.
As for the graphic in the vimana entry, it was copied from the Web in the late Nineties. I believe the original picture was taken in the ruins of Persepolis, the ritual centre of the Persian dynasty of Achaemenid Kings such as Cyrus the Great, Darius and Cambyses, Cyrus' son. The winged, circular symbol, which is based upon Babylonian and Egyptian models, is said to belong to Ahura Mazda (Wise Lord). However, as speculated in 'The Moloch Manoeuvres' and, indeed, in at least one encyclopaedia I could mention, Ahura Mazda may be just another name for the Vedic (or Hindu?) Mitravaruna. By the way, Cambyses turns out to be quite an interesting character. Supposedly congenitally mad, a fact confirmed by Herodotus writing shortly after Cambyses's time some twenty-five hundred years ago, he went looking for the Stream of Everlasting Life (or Fountain of Perpetual Youth) in Eastern Africa, -- far, very far, especially given the time, to the south of the Nile Delta! As recounted in 'Heliodyssey', Alexandros Kinesis was setup by his mother, Olympias nee Sangati, and her mother, Rhea always Ararat, to name two, to become a modern day Alexander. This was at least partially so the likes of the aforementioned two women, plus Magister Mandam, Shaikh Zechariah Markazi, Wolfgang Shekmet, Hulga Faust always Volsung, and a few others, could live forever. (Rhea clearly didn't place much trust in her own version of Aeson's Bath.) In 1935/36, long after his mother and grandmother were dead, he led various Mandams and a few others, notably Olympias's half-brother and two half-sisters, there too! Only, was it a Pool of Rejuvenation? Or was it something completely different, as I've heard tell somewhere? |
