In 2002 scientists found that by isolating the web-spinning gene from spiders and injecting it into the DNA of goats they would produce a super-strong silk-milk. They have been trying to work out how to farm spiders for years as their webs are 5 times stronger than steel (relative to density), but had no luck because of the cannibalistic nature of spiders in large groups. They aim to produce bullet-proof vests with the silkmilk. But why should the Military have exclusive rights to such a brilliantly surreal concept?
Therefore we are hijacking the concept for aesthetic and magickal purposes, producing our own luscious non-violent silkmilk ink; or perhaps reclaiming is a more appropriate term -after all, Metamorphic Ritual Theatre (a vessel of The Order of ChAOS on the outer -see http://www.crossroads.wild.net.au/morph.htm ) have been performing plays and rites about Pan and Arachne for years -this is their strange offspring...
SILKMILK MagiZen is a collective publishing vehicle of The Order of ChAOS and affiliates. A perfect-bound print journal with an audio CD in the back cover, it presents artistic expressions in a range of mediums from musical and soundscape to drawing, poetry and essays, all with magickal intent and/or content. It aims to give the reader/viewer/listener an overview of the diversity of creative expression available now and in the future from the IMPress.
The MagiZain is a vessel of the aeonic double current of Horus and Maat (thus its subtitle -Zain being the Hebrew letter of the sacred Twins), yet has equal emphasis on the Sabbatic traditions and the Chaos 23 currents. It exemplifies Art (whether visual, written, aural...) as one of the purest magicks, being direct creative expression from the subconscious with minimal conscious intervention.
The first issue focuses on the liminal realms betwixt sleep and dreams, and how magickal Arts may interface the astral and physical realities by earthing the vision.
The first Issue of SILKMILK was Launched on the SAMHAIN (Southern Hemisphere) FULL MOON in Melbourne Australia and in London UK on Tuesday 3rd June '03, each with musickal and theatrickal performances by various contributors to the MagiZain and CD
