May 17: Peacock Angel

Dysnomia here. Wednesday we’ll read a few sections from Peter Lamborn Wilson’s Peacock Angel on the antinomian religion of the Yezidis. The reading will of necessity be a bit longer, so pace yourself. We’ll discuss Chapters 2 (“Cosmogony”) & 5 (“The Redemption of Satan”) — any more is at your discretion. Methinks you’ll like it.

I’d rather be censured (it would be a delight)

than suffer ungratified wishes.

The spread of ardent desire is finer than a breeze.
