Book: The Orgia Khronicles
Q1. Hello Sir, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
Of Course.. Yet I would like to say I’m many people in One, but as for a basic introduction. My name is John Phillip Auletta also known as ‘Karneios’ by Dionysus and the gods. I am a distinguished Dionysian Pagan and initiate of The Way Of The Satyr. A modern Patron of the Technitai Dionysus and a original founder of ATD (Auric Of Transcendent Divinity ) which is now a small community of eclectic Witches, Wiccans and Dionysian Pagans whose Transcendence is based on Dance, Music, Psychedelic Ritual and Ecstatic Sex. My most widely known works include ‘Loyalty is Everything (an Amazon E-Book which was a fiction memoir based on some actual events of my youthful life). My aim in writing it was to teach of the dangerous manipulation and violence within gangs. To sum it up clearly, I am not who I use to be but yet have become what I aim to be. I am just ebbing and flowing.
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘The Orgia Khronicles?’
The main key challenge I faced during the creation of ‘The Orgia Khronicles ‘ was MYSELF. This book is basically my spiritual and physical journey which are One in my eyes. And within any journey of life, the self becomes the main challenge. Where is your Self to be found is the question. In this book you’ll find my answer, ‘ within the deepest enchantment that you have experienced’. Is the answer you’ll find. However, the more indepth the enchantment, the more intense the challenge of Self becomes.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
Those who truly inspired my writing were ancient Pagan philosophers. Those who were inspired by the gods and Mother Nature. But as for the ones who inspire me in these times, are mainly Dionysian authors ‘ Vikki Bradshaw’, ‘H. Jeremiah Lewis’, and ‘ Denise Major -Dodge ‘.
Q4. What’s your favorite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
This may sound crazy but my favorite spot in my country are new lands I’ve yet to explore. My favorite thing is to go where I’ve never been. There is a peculiar pleasure in riding out into the unknown. A pleasure which no second journey on the same trail ever affords.
Q5. Is there lots to do before you dive in and start writing a book?
I wouldn’t say a lot to do however I do like to meditate before writing. I always make the most of every sense before writing, glorifying in all the pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to me.. That helps my writing to flow.
Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘The Orgia Khronicles’ book?
It took a total of 7 years. This project couldn’t be done quickly, the book is the manifestation of a journey.. That takes time, actually that is timeless.
Q7. On what platforms can readers find ‘The Orgia Khronicles’ book to buy?
The Orgia Khronicles E-Book is found on Amazon Kindle and the Paperback is available on Amazon.
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title, ‘The Orgia Khronicles’?
As for the process of my book cover, I wanted to merge and blend the complexity of my Dionysian spirit into one cover. The grapes symbolize my god Dionysus, the wine being poured in the glass represents the many offerings I poured forth to Him. The hidden goat head itself within the image of my face symbolizes an experience that words cannot define. Mysterious initiates will understand.
Now as for the book title,’ THE ORGIA KHRONICLES (My Reminiscent Dionysian Journal )’.The word ‘Orgia’ is the name of an ancient celebration of the Greek god Dionysus. And the very essence of Dionysus represents the way a person seeks ecstacy through direct experience or passion through experience with Him, He shows us how to have blessed enthusiasm for life. And by reading my quotes, poetry, and adages, you will begin to understand my direct experience with my passion for Dionysus. These quotes and adages are an ecstatic journey towards my blessed enthusiasm of Him. Now as for the word ‘Resipiscent’, it means to be made wise by experience. My goal is to share the wisdom I gained by experience in hopes that your experience as you read it is one that evokes your own power and wisdom. And remember, experience is not what happens to you, it is what you do with what happens to you. Nothing ever becomes real until it is experienced-even a motto is no motto to you until Dionysus (Life) has illustrated it. And that is the wisdom of The Way Of The Satyr ….
Q9. When writing a book, how do you keep things fresh for both your readers and also yourself?
How I keep things fresh between me and my readers is actually simple. I continuously give new births to old ideas yet with my own Dionysian twist. There’s nothing more fresh then a new birth..
Q10. Are there any secrets from the book (that aren’t in the blurb) you can share with your readers?
There are many secrets within the book that I have yet to expose here. I’ll give you a good one, I am incarcerated… Yet prison hasn’t closed or incaged my mind and spirit.
