Royal Proclamation from the Kingdom of the Hipsters
Notice to All Who Bear Witness, by Order of His Royal Highness
To All Present and Future Subjects, Pilgrims, Seekers, Dissenters, and Devotees:
Let it be known across the Known and Unknowable Realms, within the Kingdom of the Hipsters and beyond, that His Eminence, Rev. Lux Luther—alternatively known as “Daniel,” the Cosmic Jester, Lord of Irony, Card-Carrying Objective Truth and Funny Judge, Sole Deacon of the Cult of Daniel (CoD), and Founder of the Immutable Veracity Bureau—hereby declares the establishment of this Grand Arena of Reflection, Satire, and Cosmic Wit.
By virtue of the High Council of Self-Evident Certainties and the Peer-Reviewed Consortium of Reality Verificationists, this declaration is Kingdom Sanctioned, adorned with the King’s Seal and marked by the Signatures of the Celestial Court of Cosmic Insight. The Cult of Daniel (CoD) has been deemed the Mandatory Cult of Choice within this kingdom, enshrined under the watchful patronage of the god Thoth, bearer of wisdom and mirth alike.
Herein Established and Summoned Forth:
1. Rev. Lux Luther, Defender of Chaos, Keeper of the Immutable Veracity, Yeti-Sexual Iconoclast Extraordinaire.
2. The King’s Seal and Stamp, symbolizing both the Crown of Thrifted Irony and the Glowing Pearl of Transformative Struggle.
3. Signatures of Guilds and Artisan Stamps, honoring all who align with the Kingdom’s principles of spiritual sensuality, ironic rebellion, and the inclusivity of piracy.
Declaration of Intent and Invitation:
The Kingdom of the Hipsters, ruled in jest and earnest by Rev. Lux Luther, is a realm dedicated to the satire of modernity, a celebration of the absurd, and the pursuit of Objective Truth in a universe riddled with cosmic humor. Here, we venerate the arts of subtle rebellion, esoterica, and the untamed mirth that stirs the hearts of all free spirits. We welcome all to partake in this unbounded domain—where irony wears the crown and truth is forever questioned.
Those who enter these halls will find refuge from pretense, guided by a personality cult founded on humor, irreverence, and boundless curiosity. Here, every jest is sacred, and every insight an invitation to deeper thought.
So it is proclaimed and so it shall be—
Under the Seals, Stamps, and Symbols of the Kingdom of the Hipsters, and by Order of His Royal Highness, Rev. Lux Luther, Cosmic Jester, Keeper of Irony, and Sovereign of the Ironic High Cosmic Court.
Here Layeth the Soul-Son of Man and Woman: His Eminence, Rev. Lux Luther
Bearer of Irony, Lord of Mirth, and Keeper of the Immutable Truth
Welcome to the Cult of Daniel (CoD), a space of reverent irreverence and curated chaos led by none other than Rev. Lux Luther, known also as “Daniel,” the self-declared King of the Hipsters, and occasionally referred to as “daddy.” Here, you’ll find irony crowned and irony unthroned, humor both dark and enlightening, all steeped in a richness of personality that borders on the cosmic. This isn’t a plea for membership or money; it’s simply an invitation to join in on an existence that blurs the line between sincerity and satire. In the Cult of Daniel, we revel in the absurdity of life, and if anything of value resonates, I’m content. I aim to give without the transactional undertone, to cultivate conversations of depth and spontaneity, with no ask other than your own enjoyment.
What am I offering here? A touch of wisdom, a whip of satire, and the deeply unfiltered musings of someone who has no qualms with being proven wrong—in fact, I love it. Knowledge is limitless, and so is curiosity, whether it’s highbrow intellectualism, music streaming from the depths of my playlist, or opinions on topics as serious as ancient mysticism or as light as sushi cravings. My mind is a battleground of ideas, insights, and occasional jests at life’s contradictions. There’s no subject too obscure or too vast, and I bring each of these conversations to life with a blend of profundity and playfulness. Here, you’re not just a viewer or a listener—you’re a participant in the journey of irony and insight, with no obligation to “contribute” beyond simply being here.
Think of this as a sanctuary for those seeking refuge from the pretense of “serious” discourse and the emptiness of hollow platitudes. The goal is engagement, not exploitation. If anything, I want to forge a place where people can take what they find valuable and leave without feeling they’ve given anything they didn’t freely want to give. So, join in, if you will, as we navigate the absurdities, revel in the truths and untruths alike, and perhaps leave each interaction just a little more enriched, challenged, or entertained than when you arrived.
Thus, as Rev. Lux Luther, King of the Hipsters—crowned in thrifted irony, flanked by cosmic chaos and sacred mockery—I embrace this path, a paradox of stillness and sensation, where divine grace reigns as both liberation and the silent hand of fate. This journey, though veiled in pain, stands as a testament to the strange and inescapable truths of existence: that all feeling, every pulse of life itself, is an act of presence, a gift to be both borne and celebrated in each singular moment.
Years ago, at a dark and chaotic time in my life, I set forth with an intentional and drastic aim: to find stillness, purity, and clarity at any cost. Through a sigil and series of magical working, I committed myself to a process of purification that would strip away everything unneeded and bring me to a place of true stillness—no matter the brutality of the path. And in that dedication, divine grace took hold absolutely, a guiding force that has been at work ever since.
Pain and stillness, two forces that often terrify, have here became teachers. The forced stillness that came with my injury offered lessons that my relentless former pace would have obscured. This injury grounded me, confining me to a silence that at times was unbearable. I found myself face-to-face with boredom, fear, full pain spectrum up to 10, and the raw brutality of feeling and not-feeling—each state an aspect of transformation.
Where once I was numb, sensation is now returning, and with it, an understanding of feeling itself as something miraculous. My journey from numbness to presence has brought an awareness that the familiar rhythms of life often obscure. To feel pain, to struggle within it, and to gradually heal through it—these experiences have shown me the value of sensation, however harsh.
Above all, I am profoundly grateful for divine grace, which has sustained me in every moment of this process. The slow but steady return of feeling, the gradual improvement that now seems possible, all attest to a higher hand guiding even the hardest moments. Through this journey, I have gained the chance to understand, in stillness, what truly matters. And that is a gift beyond measure.
Every piece picked up after the fact and along the way is held in pure esteem.

Thus, as Rev. Lux Luther, King of the Hipsters—crowned in thrifted irony, flanked by cosmic chaos and sacred mockery—I embrace this path, a paradox of stillness and sensation, where divine grace reigns as both liberation and the silent hand of fate. This journey, though veiled in pain, stands as a testament to the strange and inescapable truths of existence: that all feeling, every pulse of life itself, is an act of presence, a gift to be both borne and celebrated in each singular moment.
And so, I humbly offer myself—what I am and all I have become—for the service of CoD, the Kingdom of the King of the Hipsters, and any reverend or reverend’s entourage in need of a worthy staff. May this union of irony and insight, pain and grace, serve as a light, however dim or bright, on the path for those who seek presence in all its beautiful, aching totality.
Signed the Most Humble,
