“Característiques dels homes violents 1. Creences rígides basades en els "mites culturals" de la masculinitat o inferioritat de la dona. 2. Repressió emocional. Resolen els seus conflictes a través d'accions violentes. 3. Aïllament emocional. 4. Una baixa autoestima davant "l'amenaça" de pèrdua de poder, i intenten aconseguir-lo per la força. 5. Controlen la conducta de la seva dona amb coaccions (amenaces, abús verbal, acusacions d'infidelitat). 6. Són gelosos i presenten actituds possessives. 7. Minimitzen o neguen la violència. 8. Racionalitzen, no accepten l'autocrítica i projecten la responsabilitat en la provocació dels altres. 9. Manipulen els fills. 10. Presenten una dissociació entre el comportament públic i el privat. 11. Es resisteixen al canvi en no reconèixer la seva responsabilitat en la violència i no tenen cap motivació per canviar o demanar ajuda. 12. Només canvien o demanen ajuda quan l'actitud de la dona els demostra que no poden mantenir la conducta violenta i apareix la por a ser abandonats.”

“Welcome to the Church of the Serpent. The universe is the Tree of Knowledge. At the top of the tree is the Golden Bough with which we attain Golden Knowledge, the Apex Knowledge of the cosmos. So, we must climb. All the way to the highest consciousness. The Church of the Serpent is devoted to knowledge – ultimate knowledge, the knowledge of existence itself. We must have Absolute Knowledge. Nothing else will suffice. Completion, or nothing. From the top of the Tree of Knowledge, we shall command all knowledge. Like Faust, we will make a pact with any force to reach our goal. Like Prometheus, we will steal from the gods and risk any punishment to secure our ends. Like the Cimmerians, we will travel from the deepest darkness, where the sun never shines, to the brightest light. Like the Hyperboreans, we seek the perfect land where the sun always shines, yet we Hyperborean Apollonians must be able to return to Dionysian Cimmeria to enjoy the intoxication of the dark.”

Don’t you want to be one of the Prometheans, the HyperHumans, the Faustians? Don’t you want to complete the journey from Cimmeria (Alpha) to Hyperborea (Omega)? Only the Serpent Humans can bring all of humanity to the most precious fruit of the Tree of Knowledge and confer Absolute Knowledge on everyone. Only through the Serpents will you achieve gnosis. Join usssssssssss.”

“I have a complicated relationship with airports. A space that once held promise, the gateway to summer vacations and adventure, now makes my heart race a little faster, beat a little harder. A seemingly random red strip of tape on the ground, a dated stamp and ink pad, a place of birth forever etched on a passport, and a somber uniformed officer determine our future, our lives.... I wonder what new family is anxiously pacing back there, sleep-deprived and confused, hoping for that stamp to hit the ink, hoping to step into a new life.”
