A NEW IDENTITY

For fans of The Chaos Riddler (Derek Hunter), I have moved over to a new page, DH -

https://www.facebook.com/DHderekhunter

I've decided that with the coming of a new year it was the perfect time to change the identity/persona/spirit of my work from The Chaos Riddler to simply DH (my initials, obviously).

I feel it's the right thing to do as it is both a closer approximation of my true self, and also more open to others. Over the past few years I've found the name Chaos Riddler and Chaos Riddle Prose has done the opposite of my intended purpose: alienate a large number of people who would actually enjoy my work.

There have been many who have been turned off to what I do simply because of the name and then upon reading my books or listening to my albums were surprised to find themselves enjoying it.

So I have decided to simplify the presentation, not only to suit others' interest but also for my own. For in recent months I had become tired of the chaos riddler image. I hope now people who were fans of the Chaos Riddler page here on Facebook and elsewhere will continue to follow my work. If so, please go to the DH page from now on.

And thank you thank you thank you to all that have supported this page and my work in connection to the Chaos Riddler presentation.

I feel a bit like David Bowie right now to be honest, when he discarded the Ziggy Stardust persona to move onto other areas of expression. But in my case I plan to continue writing the same and making music the same, just now without the labels of chaos riddler nor chaos riddle prose.

Thank you once again to all who have supported me and this page and I look forward to seeing you on the DH page.

Happy 2014 to you all!

Sincerely,
Derek Hunter

Our Love Will Last Forever … Until the Day It Dies - Virgin Prunes

I know all your secrets
Please little girl
I like the way you frightened,
It makes me feel secure
Your eyes say something special
“We can run away”
Pushed against the wall
Never are we wrong
You can hold my hand
We can be strong
A thousand ways to show I care
I could give you anything
I could give you everything
I like the way you’re frightened…
Please close your eyes
So you cannot see
Go to sleep
Dream of happy things
Blue sky above
Hell waits below
Angels dancing
Angels falling
Devil looks at me
Spits into my eyes
Angels dead
Angels dead
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever
Until the day it dies
Until the day it dies…

ORGANIZED CHAOS REVOLUTION CALLING

I'm not serious about this call for a revolution … I know it would never work … 

This is for thought-provoking entertainment purposes only:

CHAOS.

Organized Chaos Revolution Calling -

Free Spirits of the World Unite!

Let's Kick Out the Peeps at the Top!

They're a bunch of scared chicken-shits those twats!

Anarchy?

Perhaps.

Free Spirits Acting on Their Natures of Freedom and Individuality is the Aim.

.:.

.:.

.:.

Aim #1:

Eliminate All Forms of Monetary Exchange. Eliminate Banks. Eliminate the Stock Market. Eliminate ALL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

Aim #2:

Resources, clothes, food, beverages, medications, other goods and products shall be made available to all FOR FREE. But …

Aim #3:

… in exchange with minimal labor in various sectors. Maximum 20 hours a week FOR ALL. And also, there will be a maximum of goods and products one can get. The equivalent of which will be the same as one who make $90,000 a year currently in the United States.

Aim #4:

Secret Societies/Orders will be abolished. The esoteric knowledge found within these orders will be made public and available to all FOR FREE.

Aim #5:

Religion will be allowed but highly taxed. Anyone who wishes to start a religion or continue the existing religions will be forced to pay fees so high that they will be discouraged from doing so. All those who wish to continue practicing their religions will be allowed to do so but must keep it to themselves and attempt to convince other people only once. After attempting the first time, they must stop from trying to convince that same person to join their religion. If they persist, the other person will be allowed to hit them over the head with a stick.

Aim #6:

Freedom of Speech will be allowed and supported and encouraged.

Aim #7:

Education will be free. Health care will be free. Everyone will have a place to live.

Aim #8:

Anyone can marry anyone they want as long the other person wants to too and both people are over 18 years of age. Abortions will continue to be legal as they are now in the United States.

Aim #9:

There will local community "police forces" with no guns. All guns will be made illegal. There will be no army. There will be no military force whatsoever. The manufacturing of guns, missiles, weapons, tanks, etc., will be an offensive punishable of no less than 15 years of jail time.

Aim #10:

All drugs will be made legal but must be purchased from safe and secure outlets managed by those educated in intoxicants. Drug in-take education will be taught in all schools. Sex education with free contraceptives will be available at all schools.

Aim #11:

The practice of Magick - for the good of all, for each individual's growth and development and not at the expense of other's growth - will be encouraged and taught at all schools, from K-Universities.

There will be more to this revolution … but this is a start …

Derek

OPENING TO "SHAKESPEARE"

https://soundcloud.com/chaosriddler/opening-to-shakespeare

The opening to my next novel, "Shakespeare," which I have just begun to write. Please excuse the noises caused by Shakespeare's Spirit inside me … it seems that he wanted to make his presence known in whatever way he could, and so he chose to cause my stomach make those noises ...

Shakespeare The Dark

https://soundcloud.com/chaosriddler/sets/shakespeare-dark

This is an album in it's entirety, with music and voice recordings by me, Derek Hunter the Chaos Riddler, read from passages from The Great Man Willy Shakes' (yes William Shakespeare) plays. Being as it is called Shakespeare - The Dark, these passages are, obviously, dark in tone. 

The album will be up on Sound Could in its entirety until released in the usual stores such as iTunes, Amazon, etc. Thanks and enjoy. This was the biggest labor of love I have done … which is saying a lot because everything I do is a labor of love ...

Anaïs Nin on Women who Inspired Her

What a fucking brilliant individual Nin was. This video makes me want to get back into her again but now (yes a male) in my mid-30's and not a young man in his early 20's (who back then saw her as less important than DH Lawrence and Henry Miller, but to me now is more interesting and a better writer). Also excellent for the women she discusses. I'd forgotten about Lou Salome and the kind of person she was and the effect she had on the men in her life. I remember when seeing a photo of her and Nietszche then finding out she called off the engagement between them, and knowing how fascinating she was, it explained so much to me about Friedrich.

Prince of Wands in the Thoth Tarot

I always had a suspicion that the description Crowley wrote in the Book of Thoth for the Prince of Wands was a description of himself.  I don't want to compare myself to The Great Beast but this card represents myself as well (according to Crowley's intro to the Court Cards in the Book of Thoth).

CHAOS RIDDLE TAROT READINGS

CHAOS RIDDLE TAROT

Tarot readings/divinations are done IN PERSON ONLY. 

They are also DONATION BASED, meaning "pay what you can." 

I will accept cash or personal checks but no credit cards. Payment will be done in person.


http://www.chaosriddler.com/tarot.html


WHAT IS CHAOS RIDDLE TAROT DIVINATION?

Emotional and psychological symbols and tools you can use

To make you more aware

To make you more involved in your life

To bring forth possibilities, options, different paths

Uncertainties instead of certainties

Helpful guides instead of false and empty claims

Accepting chaos as the main function to life

Exploring and seeking and finding and learning and growing within that chaotic framework

To not be afraid of chaos

To not demonize it

But to follow your true nature:

a free spirit.

So I Go On - Coil Covers

For anyone who likes Coil, or for anyone who likes similar-minded music (Industrial, Dark Ambient, Ambient, Noise, Experimental, Electro-Goth, EBM, Trance, Synth-Pop, Dark Wave, New Wave), or for anyone at all, check out this album of covers of Coil tracks.

Billy Corgan - TheFutureEmbrace Short Film (Full)

Caesar's Messiah: Jesus A Roman Invention - As I suspected, this video has caused a stir in YouTube Land. Good. I'd be surprised if it didn't. Sorry to tell you Christian folk, but your days of dominance are fading away, just like your Dying God. You not only have cast off most of Christ's teachings simply to adapt to modern times but are now finding yourself in a downward spiral of cultural oblivion. Perhaps in your insulated worlds you laugh but outside your bubble Christianity is becoming more and more irrelevant.

You're now able to get your Tarot reading done by me on-line. It's only $40 and takes very little of your time. 

Your reading will be done without you having to do "cam-to-cam" nor schedule a time to meet me in person. It simply involves a few e-mails and paying for the service via PayPal.

Sylvia Plath reads "The Applicant" - One of the two (the other being Samuel Beckett) last great writers, Sylvia Plath. Her command of the English language and love affair she had with it in her poetry, to me transcends the writing of all the Beats put together, yes, even Burroughs ...

Sylvia Plath Reads Lady Lazarus - One of the two (the other being Samuel Beckett) last great writers, Sylvia Plath. Her command of the English language and love affair she had with it in her poetry, to me transcends the writing of all the Beats put together, yes, even Burroughs ...

beckett speaks, 1987 - Since Plath committed suicide a couple decades before Beckett naturally died shortly after this interview, Beckett was really the last great author for a long time ... and since his death there have been no one else ... we are currently living in a bleak time for literature and play-writing, folks ... and it's because the literary status quo want it this way ...

Samuel Beckett - Krapp's Last Tape (Patrick Magee) - Patrick MaGee was one of the greatest actors who ever lived ...

"Charity creates a multitude of sins." -- from The Soul of Man Under Socialism (1895)


Regardless of what one does in the working world, people should be able to survive and have a standard of living that is humane. The poor during Wilde's time and the poor of today (which includes me) are not a bunch of lazy deadbeats whining and complaining to have the middle class and the rich and powerful "take care of them" as "forced charity" implies. 
The work we all do should be able to provide enough emotional comfort that our lives are not forever preoccupied with making ends meet. Wilde was arguing that charities perpetuate the unfair economic system of capitalism that rewards the rich and punishes the poor. If people's earnings were better then people wouldn't have the need for charities to exist in the first place. 
Charities were in Wilde's time as it is now, just another way for people to pat themselves on the back and convince themselves they're "good people" while not having to deal with the root problem. And of course there're those tax breaks for giving to charities and also others around you can tell you how good a person you are for contributing to charities.
