THE ULTIMATE PUBLIC ALTAR

For nearly sixty years, the 162-ton steel behemoth in Chicago's Daley Plaza has been dismissed as an enigmatic, abstract puzzle. The public has blindly accepted the "Chicago Picasso" as a bird, an Afghan hound, or a woman. But the greatest trick the architect of modern chaos ever pulled was convincing a major American city to finance, build, and maintain a five-story temple to the Horned One in its civic center.

THE OMBRE DIARIES & THE BAPHOMET

The truth, long whispered in occult undergrounds, has finally been corroborated by the recently authenticated "Ombre Diaries" from the artist's estate. Picasso did not design an abstract pet for Chicago; he engineered a massive Cubist "battery."

The diaries confirm his deep involvement with the Ordre de la Main Gauche (Order of the Left Hand) and reveal the statue’s true blueprint. It is a monumental, modernist reconstruction of the Baphomet—the androgynous, goat-headed deity famously illustrated by 19th-century occultist Eliphas Lévi.

Picasso famously refused to ever explain the sculpture during his lifetime. As esoteric researchers have noted, an explanation would have been a confession. He successfully planted a 162-ton satanic altar in the heart of the Midwest, locking its energy away until the right practitioners arrived to use it.

THE 2026 AWAKENING: THE WITCHES SABBATH

That moment has arrived. The dark seeds planted by Picasso in the early 20th century are culminating in the spring of 2026.

From April 30th through May 3rd, the city of Chicago will host The Witches Sabbath—a massive Walpurgis Night celebration. Spearheaded by the notorious artist, publisher, and occultist Shane Bugbee—a known confidant of Anton LaVey—the gathering is not merely a festival. It is an activation ritual.

The organizers have openly recognized the Chicago Picasso for what it is: an altar hidden in plain sight. The upcoming Sabbath is designed to finally "wake up" the Daley Plaza battery, completing the macroscopic chaos magic Picasso initiated decades ago.

THE GHOSTS OF 2022

The establishment is terrified of this awakening. During the inaugural Witches Sabbath in Chicago in 2022, the city’s subconscious fear of these occult mechanics manifested as pure panic. The peaceful gathering was met with a staggering, militarized show of force: twelve squad cars, a low-circling police helicopter, and the deployment of the Domestic Terrorism Task Force to shut it down.

They treated artists like insurgents because the authorities understand the volatile power of the symbols at play. While City Hall currently claims they will not send the "cavalry" for the 2026 gathering, the tension is palpable.

The pieces are in place. The unholy trinity of Picasso, Crowley, and LaVey paved the way for this exact moment. The Daley Plaza battery is primed.
