news of marilyn manson and informations

First noticed as of January 3rd, 2006, the website of Marilyn Manson has been undergoing numerous progressive changes towards the upcoming era. These updates have been such a popular topic amongst both MMUSA & MMDN that they have warranted much discussion. Here, I will try to relay what is known for certain. As this is a construction both of myself, and of user submitted information, feel free to report anything you think is inaccurate. You may also PM me with any pertinent information or images that you believe may be of some use. These posts will be updated frequently to reflect new information. That being said:January 3rd - 1st TransformationThe opening image from the (s)AINT video began its first change. Whereas up to that point it had remained on screen for a number of seconds before fading away, it now began to fade in and out of focus, and in the upper left hand corner of the screen the cross of Lorraine could be seen for a brief moment of time. Due to lighting issues, a lot of people were unable to witness the Cross of Lorraine, but nonetheless, it was there:The Cross of Lorraine as it appeared on the site:While all of these shirts are reissues, the Believer tee has been signifigantly modified, including the recent trifaced painting of Christ. In addition, it also states "BeLIEver" instead of the 1996 edition which said "BeLIEve". It has also lost the previous message which stated "See no truth, hear no truth, speak no truth", and now features sleeves which read "Against All Gods".The news section was expanded, and now once again offers archived news as far back as 2004, which had previously been unavailable for several months.Stay tuned for more updates covering each major transformation.

January 5th - 2nd TransformationMarked by the date of Marilyn Manson’s birth, another metamorphosis occurred. Music was added to the splash opening, setting it as a taste for the musical development of the upcoming era. The fading of Manson’s face began to synchronize with the surging electronic bass sound, and the ticking of a clock could be heard. A higher pitched voice (or voices) could be heard as well. Two theories currently exist to explain these voices: the first is that it is a distorted soundbite from an Aleister Crowley recording, while another popular explanation is that it is the voice of children.This is also the likely launch of the number game. Though the first report of the numbers was at 2:44 A.M., January 6th, the music was first reported 11:50 P.M., January 5th, and it is likely that the discreet numbers simply went undetected for the first few hours while the board’s attention was focussed on the new music.The numbers originated from the bottom left hand corner of the screen, and proceeded on to the right, vanishing at a certain point midway, and reappearing near the end before it disappeared entirely. This number (from left to right) is: 13053135015503113501.As has been noted by many members up to this point, only four numbers appear in this segment: 0, 1, 3, and 5. First brought up by Galaxy Girl, it has been mentioned that you can create the Cross of Lorraine by using the alt code, ALT + 0135, though how this is relevant to the number game is still uncertain. Thematically these numbers are also of importance, as of those four numbers the year 1350 can be formed - the end of the first great black plague of Europe.

January 7th - 3rd TransformationThe seventh of January became an essential part of the transformational process, as it was the first date to introduce a set of three pictures. Now with the music, number sequence, and images present, this presented a clear view of the new era. The three photos which appear only momentarily and blurred, are presented below:
The first picture displayed was actually revealed prior to this date in the booklet for Lest We Forget:
All of the images depicts the palm of a hand, bloodied by a strong puncture wound. This stigmata is considered to be a mark of the devout, which in turn with Manson’s new “BeLIEver” shirt, is hardly coincidental. In the brand of humour which only Manson can provide, the hand has been covered with a band-aid, positioned in the form of a cross, which is failing to prevent the obvious loss of blood.

The second photo we are also familiar with -- The Cross of Lorraine (Also known as The de Gaul cross or the Double Cross), is representative of everything Marilyn Manson represents; the presentation of dichotomy, and the collaborative union presented through those dichotomies. Whether it be man or woman, light or dark, Jehovah or Lucifer, Marilyn or Manson, the cross in itself embodies the physical and spiritual balance that Manson has spent many years trying to achieve.

The third picture is all new, and is heavily laden with the imagery of his new era. The stigmata concept is featured again, with visible puncture wounds in both of his hands.Present also is a Skull and Crossbones atop Manson's head which can be readily attached to the subject of the Black Death. This too was hinted at in LWF:

Despite the most obvious connection to the Black Death, the Skull & Crossbones has connections to many groups, being a symbol heavily used by the Freemasons, the order of the Skull and Bones, Alchemists, the supposed Illuminati, the Egyptians, and even the Romantics and the Victorians. The acknowledgement of death (memento mori) served those very same groups a sort of metaphorical rebirth, enabling them to take into account their own mortality, and make the best out of their lives. This continual cycle of death, rebirth, and transformation is at the very heart of Manson's work.In terms of numbers, the number fifteen seems to be a powerful and reoccurring number for Manson's new work, as there are fifteen swords surrounding Manson's head. Though the original image bore 16, it is unlikely that Manson did not realize he was only obstructing the view of a single dagger. In addition, there are fifteen Crosses of Lorraine around the new MM seal, along with 15 triangles:

The seal of MM reveals a circle which almost makes a full rotation, but just stops short, creating a C - likely representing the concept of Celebritarianism, which Manson brought up in his recent interview with MansonUSA. The symbol, much like the Cross of Lorraine, reflects an astounding level of balance in its physical structure.To a certain extent this can draw a Freemason connection (among other esoteria), and will likely be covered in future updates at The Nachtkabarett.The hands present in the new image bare many strong similarities with the movie poster for the film M:

The film M, a 1931 film noir directed by Fritz Lang, follows the story of a serial killer who preys on children. It's also of importance to note that in the film, there are a League of Beggars, which also make an appearance in the Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weil collaboration of The Threepenny Opera, which Manson has drawn on prior to this upcoming era (see The Nachtkabarett for more information). This tie in to death and Celebritarianism blends seamlessly.This film will be watched closely for any other influences that may appear.As if this wasn't enough to take in for one night, within the time frame of 12:00 - 3:00 A.M., Manson's site was updated three times with a series of cryptic messages, which appeared predominantly in the lower left quadrant of the screen. The first was “LISSTEN TO GALAXY GIRL THEY MIGHT KNOW”, followed by “THISS CAN BE SOLVVED”, and “HURRY TIME IS”. Some of the messages were followed by a variety of numbers, suggesting a cipher relationship between the two.

Note that in the following, lines have been added to seperate the screen captures, and the brightness/contrast levels have been adjusted for easy viewing:The Original Message:


Keep in mind that "HURRY" and "HURRY TIME IS" both come from the same animation - but that a series of numbers follows after the first word is complete, and then a new slew opens up after the message is complete. These are not two seperate animations.As no solution has been discovered yet, I will not speculate the meaning of any of these, and leave it up to the reader to draw their own conclusions for the time being.

On this date, and perhaps out of pity, Marilyn Manson revealed the cypher key more clearly on his website, which rests about midway at the bottom of the screen. Though it was previously present the duration of the number game, on this date only the key remained:

Through hours of research and determination, I have uncovered Marilyn Manson's newly adopted emblem which presents itself in the newly released collage of elements. TERROJA and myself, like many others went on a search for this intriguing symbol. I made the initial discovery of the symbol itself and TERROJA surfaced the literary source. TERROJA has written a small article on the significance of the symbolism present inside the emblem itself and I have compiled the information into this groundbreaking post. Please enjoy our research and have the decency to credit our hard work.

In the highly sought after work "Les Devices Heroiques" (Roughly Translated: The heroic Currencies), also known as 'The Heroicall Devises of M. Claudius Paradin' by Claude Paradin, there appears an emblem of a sprinting hare, circled by a ring of clouds and a ring of 16 (not 15, as previously reported) daggers faving outward. This symbol is one of the latest to be adopted (though obfiscated) by Marilyn Manson. It's value to him is not immediately discernible as we are still searching for the sources of the other components of the collage at this time.

What can be said for certain at this time is that this symbol correlates to Christ. The rabbit, a present day symbol of Easter (the day of Christs rising from the dead), was previously (and presently in occult circles) a symbol of fertility, life, vitality and rebirth. The ring of clouds envokes a sense of the divine glory of God, while the ring of daggers recalls Christ's thorny crown. This initial thesis is, of course, supported by the Stigmata imagery apparent in the image and already partially covered by the esteemed TRNQT and Komaschwarz. Below is an image created as proof of this fantastic connection:

The original French edition of Paradin's emblem book, Les devises heroiques was printed in 1551 in Lyon by Ian de Tournes and Guillaume Gazeau (with 118 illustrations, generally attributed to Bernard Salomon) and in 1557 (with 182 illustrations). Plantin reprinted this edition, together with the emblem book of Symeon, in 1561 with re-editions in 1562 and 1567. Paradin was a French priest; he became canon of the Chapter of Beaujeu, where he died in 1571 (Cuioranesco, p. 541). The original French edition of the emblem book of Gabriel Symeon, Les devises ou emblemes heroiques, was printed in 1559 in Lyon by G. Roville with 37 woodcuts. Symeon was an Italian humanist (Florence 1509- ca. 1570 Turin); trying to get into the good graces of the mighty, he led a rather wandering life in France, England and Italy. The emblem in its original context, form and layout:

January 14th - 5th TransformationAfter the Manson community grew distressed over the lack of an update on both the 11th, and 13th of January (as was expected due to the timing of prior updates), with nothing more than a short link via the Art Gallery, 44 new paintings created by Marilyn Manson were presented in a .swf slideshow.Currently all of these paintings are untitled, and some notable and recognizable watercolors include members of the band, a portrait of Edgar Allen Poe (as described by Manson in the prior ‘Phant interview), Alice inspired paintings, new compositions of Dita, more self portraits, and a host of other subjects.Courtesy of the ‘Phant, download a folder containing all 44 new paintings here (hosted by OmegaX)

One of my new paintings that will be on the site, uncharacteristic of me, I painted a photo realistic image of Edgar Allan Poe splitting in half and fire coming from within him showing him consumed by his inner hell."- Marilyn Manson
