An OG Sunner and I were discussing meme magic recently, since he'd recently become a believer in the power of Memo-O-Mancy. I suggested memes were the new sigils, since the good meme-makers expertly boil down complex issues into simple yet comprehensive icons, after a fashion.
Hopefully, they don't charge their memes the way some people charge their sigils.
Of course, we're pretty much doing the opposite over at the Secret Sun Institute of Advanced Synchromysticism, taking deep, deep dives into potent artifacts of metaphysical entertainment. Like the recent dive into the modern classic -- and absolute must-see -- A Dark Song.
Or the more recent dive into ghostly themes in popular culture, and the shockingly-recent creation of the ghost story as we know it today. Turns out that -- like so much of our contemporary popcult -- that you can trace its origins back to the mid-19th Century and the explosive rise of Spiritualism and Theosophy.
The stream also features a countdown of the Secret Sun Top 13 Ectoplasmic Essentials, a spectral survey filled with secrets, symbology and high-test synchery.
Next up will be the deepest of all Donnie Darko dives, a prospect that SSI students are all very jazzed up for. One of the issues we'll delve into is the curious yet comprehensive links between the modern metaphyctional movie classic and the enduring mysteries of the Siren. You don't want to miss this one.

Without further ado, let the memes be seen...
SPACE IS A DISGRACE
MEMES WITHOUT THEMES
Honestly. Pineapple pizza is a crime against humanity.
THE MALEFICENT SEVEN. MORE OR LESS.
The famous last words of countless thousands. Kids, don't be like poor Johnny here.
Easy - they don't. And bite your tongue for suggesting such a thing.
Hey there, Imaginary Sexy Satanist. I'd like you to meet...
... some non-imaginary Satanists. Not quite as sexy, are they?
And yes, they pretty much all look like that.
SUDDENLY DEATH OVERTIME
Also, kids trying to be alive.
2023 is looking to be the Year of the Suddenlies. No laughing matter, alas.
What's wrong with this picture? Besides the obvious.
We're all doomed.
GNOSIS HYPERSTENOSIS
Now, that's what you call a chick with a Dick.
A Phillip K. Dick, you weirdo. What do you think I meant?
WHY, WHEN I WAS A KID...
We have one downstairs. And I still have all my fingers!
Give or take.
You don't see too many hood-scoops around these days, do you? Not exactly what I'd call muscle cars, though.
Well, minutes at least. They pretty much broke after a couple flights.
CORPORATE DEATH BURGHERS
Which rapacious corporate death-cult will you simp for on Election Day?
CONSPIRE TO INSPIRE
GLOBAL COOLING, GLOBAL WARMING, JUST EAT YOUR DAMN BUGS
TOADSTOOL THE WET SPROCKET
THAT WOKE ISN'T MONEY ANYMORE
In all fairness, hardly anyone subjected themselves to that creepy cack-fest. Who the hell wants to see a scrawny gym teacher take her two favorite high school volleyball players on a sex-cation?
Well, they do have a point with that last one.
Stunningly concise, unknown memer. Kudos.
"Siri, show me the entire Woke movement boiled down to a single image."
MEMES FOR MEMES' SAKE
