Gaahl's coming out was a little too fabulous and not enough evolutionary radical fuck you!

When Gaahl (former front vocals of Black Metal band Gorgoroth) came out of his Norwegian Black Metal Log Cabin/Shack; I really thought, mmm... maybe this guy is radical, maybe he has some type of Nietzschean love of man as a representation of the ultimate achievement? Maybe he chooses a life with masculine partner that oozes evolved intellectual consciousness? All of these things I guess I would have opted for if I were to come out of any closet of whatever description but no, I was surprised to find that Gaahl found himself a lovely nancy-boy who bore the mark of young fresh twink fanshionista. Remarkable in its own guise - as everyone rightly is; but I guess my personal fantasy of the exceptional man who has transcended the sexes by loving his mirror image that is beyond himself is left dry.

Sure, each to his/her/its own, I have no authority on anything, but this is just a stupid blog with nothing else going for it so I can speak my mind if I like.

Okay, Gaahl aside (his name mention was really only a marker on the road, not the point of discussion in mention); what I envision in terms of an interdynamic relationship a species can have with itself (essentially as a mark of heightened intelligence and the probability of crazy radical evolution) is that gender explodes not into an obsolete but beyond its dualistic distinctions. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly appreciate an embrace of primal surge that recognises the wild in oneself and further more the ground-breaking ability to hone such wilderness as a intuitive sharpening of the reason and intellect. What I argue against is an insistence of maintaining a loud voice about what we are and what we are not.

These days, with the gradual desensitising of gender differences, us so called homo sapiens sapiens still bear a mark of stupidity; namely "he or she belongs to that group" (not less found in the minority groups too). Really, there can no longer be space for such diversive delineations if we expect to consider ourselves an intelligent species!

I myself have a very long way to go (many lifetimes still I reckon); but I am bored with the common nativities of using gender language to communicate signs and inclinations; on the flipside, I cannot deny the deep stirrings I have for a curves and soft impressionable touch (my taste differs on various occasions - regarding whatever the suitable season is), but equally I can only remark to the blushing lips of a pouting fluttering women: "Oh, that's cute" and be on my way.

All of this said, what I do recognise in terms of attraction is the inclination toward an intuitive intelligence, meaning that the person in question is more or less balanced in Being. Motivated balance stirs the falling of stars, crackling of night skies, fire from the gods, etc. A humanity that aspires beyond itself is a significant gesture, one that I promote - not in any New Age politic, but one that is thoroughly engaged in itself to work diligently towards its own awakening, out of a self-perpetuated pit of ignorance.

Reclaiming the Queer and Rainbow Flag for Wizards of the World

It is in my opinion that the use of the term 'QUEER' as well as the convenient Rainbow Flag by the LGBTQIA community is an ingenious snag which may have been appropriated far earlier by the community of wizards if there ever was such an openly preposterous idea as a wizard community. The thing is the wizards of the world have more than often opted to remain behind closed doors and inside their private quarters where  no suspecting 'straight' eyes can see them at work.

What must us wizards do now concerning the rather abhorrent claim of narratives that have long been used as a means to depart from mainstream society - let us call it, the appropriated mainstream language that is merely used to syndicate within mainstream discourses. For the wizard, reality exists on the dynamic of fluctuation... where everything is dreamlike and transcient, the wizard is a master of insight into the illusions of reality; i.e. the wizards eyes are tuned on the infinite tangents of melting duality.

So, it is no wonder a wizard is conventionally seen as eccentric, strange, or commonly known as Queer. This is more than a mere gender variation, it is an existential designation - of course, by principle, a wizard in nature is no longer designatable, hence consequently queer by nature. I understand why the segregated sexes feel the need for a distinguishable term that sets them aside from the mainstream, and I have no problem with sharing a term, not to mention a pretty flag, only problem is, the ridiculous human insistence for categories and taxonomies does not even allow me, a simple wizard, the space to belong somewhere - as I am none of the formal letters in LGBTQIA. This pleases me nonetheless, as I am avoidant of such convenient slip-ins... all I ask is to refer to my ways as Queer without having to call myself Gay, or Gender Blender nonesense.

Okay, so I am not really arguing against the Gender communities, I rather want to state that there is an unrepresented world of weird and wonderful that itself does not even fall within a minority discourse. Us wizards are all a little queer, in that no one can quite place their finger on what we are exactly - I do not think we can even do that ourselves... and I shudder to think anyone thinking that we (wizards) do not belong to this planet! on the contrary, the spontaneous, radical, crazy wise and cool, are fully emerged in this planet - long having escaped the confines of straight and square.

As for the Rainbow Flag, no problem, the LGBTQIA can keep it, we will simply put a spin on the design, add a few waves and we have a more accurate representation of something already quite fantastic. Really, if one could manage a flag comprised of crystal light refractions translated by the magnificent naked eye then we would have something quite spectacular. It would certainly represent something more than a community who relate to their sexual peculiarity and the wants and needs to stick it to the mainstream man and his oppressive discourses or whatever approach is to be taken.

All very exciting nonetheless; in fact I pose that wizards both belong and do not belong, we are both friends to all and invisible, in fact, it does not really matter, I will go about and use radical terms freely without exception... argue against it you want, that is fine, I will probably not fight but will maintain queer for most part.
