WereSpace & TT Network Sites: Hacked by WereList?

As if hacking and destroying the Therian Temple official website (as well as the professional websites of the HP) was not enough for these hateful people, our network site as well as the therian social network site WereSpace have been deleted from Ning (a free social network provider).

Some Background:

Recently, Magus Fenrir Therion left the web and needed someone to run the site. At that time, a former TT member volunteered and was given admin access of WereSpace, and this person later invited another person (who later  informed me that she was regular poster at the WereList, a site which does not allow any admitted TT members as users) to become an admin as well.

Since there was no pre-defined hierarchical structure to the admin system, no one was designated as “assistant” and apparently some arguments over control of deletion of content ensued. This argument spilled over into the running of the site and the former TT member and others perceived to be friends of this person were banned by the other admin.

The other admin then became an admin of newer, more secretive therian social network site that screens members based on belief, and then spammed the WereSpace membership (admins have access to the email addresses of members) with an email asking people to leave WereSpace and go to their new site called “Primal State“. The other admin left then the site.

I (Natassja) took over the site (per Fenrir’s request) and unbanned anyone who didn’t have an explanation note for their suspension. I tried to be diplomatic and invited both of the ‘arguing admins’ back to WereSpace if they would agree to behave, but both declined. The “Primal State” admin wanted to be an admin at WereSpace or else she wouldn’t join (as if this person hadn’t abused the admin powers already), and the former TT member apparently wanted nothing to do with the site, or Therians online in general, anymore.

Immediately after I became the primary admin, several self-admitted ‘trolls’ from this new “Primal State” site made new profiles on WereSpace, and tried to talk users into joining their site  in the chat and forums.

One, who claimed to be a moderator at the WereList,  apparently came there only specifically to argue with me about these goings on, as they didn’t add any other content or posts to the site aside from attacking one thread that  posted about the changes at WereSpace.

One person messaged me directly and tried to present themselves as if they actually wanted to make some suggestions that could help the site. I gave this person my email address and told them to write me there if they want to be taken seriously. This was primarily because when I looked at their info, they had provided a fake email address (something like ‘therian@tellyoulater.com‘) to join the site, and I didn’t want to waste time talking to someone  a bot with no info on who they were.

I deleted 3 of them, not because they were from the other site (there were others who I know were members at both sites), but because they refused to properly fill out the age and other required information on their profiles.

Then, sometime between Friday afternoon (Feb 5 2010) and Saturday afternoon, my email account (the address I used for my Ning account and the same which I told to the Primal State bot) was phished and I was locked out of it. This was especially upsetting because I also had personal emails in there as well.

I had to contact Yahoo and go through a whole process to get back into my account. When I went to logged into my Ning account, both sites which I was admin of were gone. Thinking this might be an error, I went directly to the WereSpace and Therian Temple Network sites, and both were gone.

I was sent to an “Oops! This URL does not exist!” page.

All the years of people’s blogs, posts, and messages: gone.

All the Therian Temple Network discussions: gone.

Coincidence? I think not.

Scientists Say Emotion Affects Senses Such As Smelling

During certain advanced Therian shifts, we in the Therian Temple believe that there is a real physiological/physical change, making these shifts beyond “Mental Shifts” (which only really affect the mind), and truly into the realm of the “Physical Shift”.

By this we do not mean growing claws, fur etc., nor do we mean changing species, but there is indeed a change that transcends mere psychological affects.

This has caused much controversy for us by using this description / definition, but Science may have just backed up this theory and found an answer to this perplexing occurrence, as seen below.

Jews Adopt Blessing of the Animals Ceremonies

At least 21 synagogues or other Jewish groups in 10 states have held blessing of the animals ceremonies, with rabbis (and at least one cantor) coming face to muzzle with a wide swath of the animal kingdom, including many animals that Jews do not consider kosher to eat. Although dogs and cats are the most common attendees, clergy have also recited blessings for livestock (goats and sheep), small mammals (hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, and ferrets), birds (parrots, ducks, and geese), reptiles (snakes and turtles), amphibians (frogs), fish (goldfish), shellfish (hermit crabs), and insects (at least one cricket and one millipede).

Rare New Year’s Eve ‘Blue Moon’

“….On Sky & Telescope magazine’s Web site this week, senior contributing editor Kelly Beatty wrote: “If skies are clear when I’m out celebrating, I’ll take a peek at that brilliant orb as it rises over the Boston skyline to see if it’s an icy shade of blue. Or maybe I’ll just howl.”

The Book of Were-Wolves New Edition

Members of the The Therian Temple’s Ordo vir Bestia have published a book version of the 19th-century were-wolf text, “The Book of Were-Wolves“, in both paperback and hardcover editions.

Written in 1865 by a British Theologian and Hymn-composer (he composed the well-known hymn “Onward Christian Soldiers”), this text delves into the history of beliefs and traditions surrounding human-animal transformations and related ideas.

Far from being a “factual document”, “The Book of Were-wolves” is a look into the mystical and magical esoteric ideas and lore about man’s “Inner Beast” that were prevalent in the world of the late 1800s.

One can clearly see the basis for the myriad Hollywood Film-versions of the “Wolf-Man” in the details of folkloric poems and traditions.

The research compiled in Rev. Baring-Gould’s text paint a unique picture of a mystical 19th-century world where monsters are very real and believed-in.

Luckily, the helpful hymn-composer turned literary Good Samaritan is there to guide you through this archaic and frightening world of wolf-men, vampires, cannibals and murderers.

“The Book of Were-Wolves” is a must-read for anyone interested in human-animal transformations, folklore, or even just monster movies.

On the violence at Ft. Hood, Texas….

The Therian Temple solemnly and sincerely extends our regards, respect, support and sympathy for the victims and their loved ones devastated by the tragic gun violence at the Fort Hood United States Army post located

outside of Killeen, Texas.  As an organization which includes members of several brances of the US Armed Forces as well as relatives and loved ones thereof, we too have been deeply affected by the loss caused by the

cold-blooded violence that took place on November 5, 2009. Our hearts go out to all of the US Military family, both Therian and non-Therian, both soldier and civilian.

As an organization which identifies closely with Animals and Nature, we consider any unnecessary killing (i.e. without just cause such as self-defense or survival) an affront to the Laws of Nature. We also are saddened by the use of terms like “Lone-Wolf”  to describe such ideology-motivated terroristic violence, as we understand very well that actual Wolves (and other species), in Nature, never attack without a survival-based reason: either hunger or self-defense. Only the “advanced” human mind could concoct a sick plan to murder in cold-blood, along with any so-called “justification” of such heinous acts.

A  sad event such as this reminds us not only of the dangers of extremism, but also of the importance of unity in the face of tragedy. We only have each other to hold while we grieve for the fallen. We only have each other

to work together with as we try to move on from this loss. This week, we are all American soldiers: we feel the loss of fallen comrades, and yet, we must still stand strong and united against those who would brazenly murder us

and all those who valiantly protect our freedoms. We must always place the mission first, never accept defeat, never quit, and never leave a fallen comrade.

The “mission” we all share is to help create a world where we all can live in peace, and acceptance of defeat in such a mission could only leave a charred and barren Earth, devoid of all life.

Although we have members and supporters in many countries around the world, The Therian Temple was founded and is based in the USA, where we have complete Freedom of Religion.

Without this freedom, and the other freedoms alotted to us by the US Constitution, our group could have never been formed. In some places, even speaking or writing about a minority alternate system of belief could result in imprisonment or even death. For this, the very right to exist and practice what we believe in, we owe a great debt of thanks to the members of the US Military who defend this freedom against tyranny in all corners of the world. Even when one who once claimed to be one of their own guns down fellow soldiers, this great country still allows the vile killer due process, not out of respect for the person, the act, or the ideology behind it, but out of respect for our own belief in Justice.

To all of those who serve and have served this country: We sincerely thank you. Your heroic deeds do not go overlooked.

Devoted Dog guards owner’s body after fatal road accident in Queensland

“A SCRUFFY bitser dog called Moja was hailed a hero yesterday after sticking by his dead master’s side for two days and guiding rescuers to the hidden spot where the Queensland man crashed his car.”

….”Police, family, friends and two AGL rescue helicopters began searching, but with a 1000sq km radius to cover, trying to find the white Nissan utility was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But on Saturday a woman from a farmhouse near Curra decided to investigate a dog barking for hours on end.

She found the crash site – and Moja sitting next to Mr Drew’s body beside the vehicle.”

Happy Templum Natalis!

Today is the Four-Year Anniversary of the opening of the Therian Temple to Public Membership and the 2-year anniversary of the first publication of Liber Bestia Ritus!
Previous to the establishment of publicly-accessible Membership, there was only the Therian Bible and the small group of founding members, who are now known as the Ordo Vir Bestia.
The addition of Liber Bestia Ritus to the Therian Bible gave Therian Magicians everywhere a new set of useful organized Therian Rituals which were advanced beyond the existing Basic Shift Rituals.

The Ordo vir Bestia has ordained that this day be our first officially celebrated Holiday among all those within the Therian Temple, and shall be called “Templum Natalis” (Birthday of the Temple).

In observance of this Holiday, today would be a great day for Therian Rituals, studying the Therian Bible and Liber Bestia Ritus, and to give to / support Animal Charities.
