Pantera, meaning "panther," is the name of a real Roman-Phonecian soldier who has long been hypothesized to of been the illegitimate father of Jesus by way of a relationship, dubiously consensual, between himself and the mother Mary. This is almost certainly false, but it made for good anti-Christian libel at the time.
Rape was by the Greeks before the Romans considered a "right of domination" and a right of passage for young men. Pantera is an unreformed satyr, an incubus. He lurks the woods; he puts out the lights. Hunter and murderer, he hurts others so that they may grow stronger. Spontaneous organic orgasms of process. Passions met and virtues rewarded, the circle-revel may renew again.
God of gods of blood, whose mark is five, five, five! Shallow soul, numberless and imaginative, evil believed in. Tryptophobe. Pure allosexual. Perverse and unrepressed. Odysseus pillages without giving water to the dead; the cultist of action, the last agent in history. Pantera trades their concrete for his mud.

Orphea, who devoured his son, refuses to bow down to man or god. [Stuff about contrarianism...?]. She is the ungulate priestess; he is the ancient yet future-born emasculator. Gorging herself on carnality to the point of needing vomitoria, [...?].
Builder of aqueduct, architect of hexagon and cube, of triangles rendered. Nascent madness in the open-air prison; lead in the water. Sigil of subways constructed, the spell may begin. Magic in every case requires sacrifice, equivalent exchange. The rebis accepts this. Small prices to pay for abundance and fortune, for freedom, for knowledge.

Azrael is the angel of death, sage and psychopomp, six-winged seraph and warrior-servant. Ey are often identified with or friend to Satan. The one angel who did not falter in the face of death, who[m] death now submits to, is the one who loathes it most. For death is a violent, horrifying thing, and worst of all, it comes unwanted.
Eir hatred of cruelty soon follows. Strength, power, invulnerability: performed and only that. Weakness is truth; ugliness is beauty because it is true. Your body is full of disgusting viscera and bile. Perhaps it shouldn't be, yet it is. Your body contains the skeleton that will be buried. Azrael collects the soul unraveled out of mental and unbound from body, and the fungible token [in]discernable is reborn.

Eris is the goddess of strife. "Eristic" is rhetoric which merely disputes another argument without any regard for the truth.
