The "International Year Of Polytheism” (powered by monochrom) wants to overcome the epoch of the monotheistic worldviews (and its derivatives such as "The West" and "The Arab World") through the reconstruction of a polytheistic multiplicity in which countless gods and goddesses will eventually neutralize each other. Polytheism is democracy, Monotheism a dictatorship, even in its pseudo-secular form.
Freed from the servitude of monotheism and the fraternal strife of the trinity, the world would be redeemed in a chaotic baptism of multiplicity. Besides, we believe that polytheism is the most suitable form of religion for a modern, dynamic and cosmopolitan young culture. Improve your C.V. with polytheism. Create your own heavens and hells. Or try it out yourself with our special Gods/Goddesses trial subscription. Our qualified operators are standing by to take your calls!
   

Fifth event:
Door Henge: Doors Of Polytheistic Perception:
Anonymous friends of the movement in San Francisco are erecting a polytheism monument on August 19, 2007 in an undisclosed public location. There is clearly a need for secrecy as a result of religious oppression from the monotheistic mainstream.
San Francisco, California.

Fourth event:
The Divining Pod
A balloon is a type of aircraft that remains aloft due to its buoyancy. A balloon travels by moving with the wind. The balloon is ONE BIG fabric envelope filled with a gas that is lighter than the surrounding atmosphere. A SINGLE balloon that is less dense than its surroundings, it rises, taking along with it a basket, attached underneath, that carries passengers or payload.
Cluster ballooning is an uncommon form of ballooning in which a balloonist is attached by a harness to a cluster of MANY SMALL rubber balloons.
Cluster ballooning is a perfect metaphor for the plurality and democracy of polytheism. Fight the concept of monotheistic single-balloon ballooning!
At Maker Faire San Francisco 2007 we want to present the world with the "Divining Pod".
Join our effort to fill ballons with helium, tag the balloons with names of air goddesses and air gods, and lift a human being into the skies of diversity! We want to see the heavens open!
San Francisco, California. Maker Faire @ San Mateo Fairgrounds. May 20, 2007.

Third event:
Eating A Persimmon For Zeus
A Persimmon is variety of species of trees of the genus Diospyros, and the edible fruit borne by them. The most widely cultivated species is Diospyros kaki. The fruit is very sweet to the taste with a soft to occasionally fibrous texture. Cultivation of the fruit started in parts of East Asia, and was later introduced to California.
Diospyros kaki translates as "The Fruit of Zeus".
Zeus, is (or was) the king of the gods, the ruler of Mount Olympus, and god of the sky and thunder, in Greek mythology. His symbols are (or were) the thunderbolt, bull, eagle and the oak. When the world was divided in three, Hades received the underworld, Poseidon the sea, and Zeus the sky.
We want to honor Zeus! We want to moan about the dreadful non-divisional monotheistic singularity! Long enough we were dominated by the concept of the God of the Abrahamic religions and/or the Platonic concept of God as put forward by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite! We want to eat persimmons for Zeus! In anger!
Join the force! Eat his fruit! Get a certificate!
Los Angeles, California. Sidewalk @ 4810 Sunset Boulevard. February 23, 2007; 1 PM- 1:30 PM.

Second event:
Premature Burial As A Field Trial For Near Death Activities
The people present will have an opportunity to be buried alive in a coffin for fifteen minutes. Volunteers will be able to experience a semi-traumatic situation and possibly get in close contact with various gods and/or afterlives.
As a framework program there will be lectures about the history of the science of determining death and the medical cultural history of "buried alive". People buried alive not only populate the horror stories of past centuries, but also countless reports in specialized medical literature. The theme of unintentional resurrection by grave robbers also runs through forensic protocols. Even in the 19th century it was said that every tenth person was buried alive.
February 7, 2007. Blackwood Gallery, Mississauga/University Toronto, Canada.

Grand Opening:
Free Barium Nitrate!
The symbolic liberation of Barium Nitrate will signal the opening of this "International Year of Polytheism". We would like to invite you to join with us in igniting 10.000 bound sparklers, free of any judaeo-christian intent. Nothing but a wonderfully powerful fire signal, whose representational vacuity and lack of otherwise traditional symbolic meaning might just wake some of the ignoble gods exiled by monotheistic McKinseyism. We welcome the gods back from their second-class beyond(s).
January 26, 2007. Symposion Lindabrunn, Lindabrunn, Lower Austria.


Further events are planned.

And never forget: One is the number of the beast!

Nazi Polytheists Fuck Off // A Statement

monochrom's polytheist community wants to dissociate itself from any religious back-to-the-roots-movement in Western society, which aims to replace the dominant local monotheism with some older form of religious practice. A practice which they believe to be rooted in the original doctrine of that region and the people grounded in it.

One example for such a practice is given by the neo-pagan movement that is popular in the gothic, dark wave, and parts of the industrial scene. Parts of that movement show a strong (though not exclusive) tendency to oppose modernity with pre-modern conceptions of society and culture that put everybody in their "natural" place. Because of that it is attractive to the neo-fascist subculture within that scene, in the same way as it was attractive to the NSDAP, who thought of returning to worship of Germanic Gods and Goddesses instead of the Judea-Christian God. These ideas were never able to come to fruition because the German leadership needed the support of their Christian allies and followers.

That is not the kind of party we're inviting you to. We fight modern society not in the name of a rootsy culture and its "natural" ways. We fight modern society in the name of postmodernity. Let there be Gods and Goddesses, not tradition!

And never forget: as a human being (whatever that might be) you do not have roots but feet!

So you might enjoy a little hate song about that matter that we borrowed from the famous US-American pop group by the name of Dead Kennedys. If you want to listen to it just put on your old Dead Kennedys "Nazi Punks Fuck Off"-Single and sing along to the lyrics below.
Nazi Polytheists Fuck Off

Polytheism ain't no religious cult
Polytheism means thinking for yourself
You ain't hardcore cos you deny Jesus Christ
When a dualistic structure still lives inside your head

Nazi polytheists
Nazi polytheists
Nazi polytheists -Fuck Off!

Nazi polytheists
Nazi polytheists
Nazi polytheists -Fuck Off!

If you've come to preach, get outa here
You ain't no better than the Mormons
We ain't trying to be pagan
When you ape the catholics it ain't religious anarchy

[Repeat chorus]

Ten guys convert one, what a man
You fight each other, the monotheist state wins
Stab your backs when you trash cemeteries
Trash a university if you've got real balls

You still think swastikas look cool
The real Nazis run your schools
They're coaches, businessmen and cops
In a real fourth reich you'll be the first to go

[Repeat chorus]

You'll be the first to go
You'll be the first to go
You'll be the first to go
Unless you think
