CHURCH OF LUCIFER - zoroboroz

"Zoroboroz Publishing"

Zoroboroz is the name of our publishing house, a reflection of our commitment to the timeless journey of creativity and discovery. Derived from the concept of the Ouroboros, the name embodies balance, eternity, and endless possibility. As a palindrome, it symbolizes the cyclical nature of life, creativity, and storytelling—where beginnings and endings are fluid, interconnected, and eternal.

Like the Ouroboros, which represents the continuous cycle of life, death, and rebirth, Zoroboroz speaks to the infinite renewal of ideas and creativity. The name suggests an unbroken loop of thought and imagination, with each work contributing to an ongoing evolution of expression. It invites exploration of opposing forces—creation and destruction, past and future—brought together in perfect harmony.

At its core, Zoroboroz is a celebration of the timeless journey of creativity, where each published work is a part of an eternal cycle, constantly reimagining the world and our place within it.

The Cycle Unbroken: Sisyphus and the Ouroboros

Is this the end, or just another beginning? An exit, or an entrance?

The ouroboros, a symbol of eternity and renewal, devours its own tail in an unbroken cycle of creation and destruction. Sisyphus, bound to his eternal task, represents the unyielding nature of human effort. Together, they invite us to reflect on the complex and paradoxical nature of existence, where struggle, repetition, and transformation coexist with the absurdity of our endeavors.

This myth challenges us to explore life’s contradictions—where persistence and acceptance are intertwined with futility and the cyclical nature of existence. Here, meaning may not be found in the end, but in the very act of enduring.

Endless Struggle and Futility:

The ouroboros, in its eternal circle, enclosing Sisyphus within its serpentine coils, evokes the ceaseless, unyielding nature of human struggle. It is an image of toil and exertion, where effort appears a vain pursuit, forever thwarted by the inevitability of failure. Each turn of the cycle, though brimming with labor, ends in futility, as the stone rolls once more to its base.

The Absurdity of Existence:

Here lies the profound absurdity of existence, where Sisyphus’ endless task mirrors the futile quest for meaning in a world seemingly devoid of purpose. The stone he pushes upward shall ever descend, and so too do we search for truth in a realm where none may be found—trapped in a dance of despair and unknowing.

Perpetual Renewal and Rebirth:

The ouroboros, ever in motion, signifies the endless cycle of renewal and rebirth. Even as Sisyphus’ struggle appears to lead him nowhere, it is within this eternal repetition that the seed of transformation is sown. For though each act of effort may seem without end, it is but a part of a greater, unseen metamorphosis—a process of becoming, ceaselessly renewed.

Self-Sustaining Struggle:

Within the ouroboros, Sisyphus' toil becomes both cause and effect—a self-sustaining cycle of torment. His labor and anguish feed upon themselves, his struggle becoming both the means of his suffering and its perpetual source. The act of striving is as much his punishment as it is his fate, and in that very act, he is both bound and freed.

Tragic Heroism and Acceptance:

This image speaks to the quiet nobility of a soul that, though bound to endless suffering, endures with silent grace. Sisyphus, in his eternal struggle, is the very embodiment of tragic heroism—not in the conquering of fate, but in the acceptance of it. In the face of an unyielding trial, he bears the weight of his task with resilience, finding in his suffering a semblance of triumph, however fleeting, in the mere act of enduring.
