Decided to draw character designs for some Horus Heresy girlies. So here they all are!
Design notes below the cut:
Bequa Kynska: I decided to base her whole vibe slightly off Carla Rockmore. The patterns on the sleeve cuffs are inspired by this piece of 13th century Lebanese embroidery.
Tumblr media
Cyrene Valantion: Her outfit is inspired by traditional Georgian and Azerbaijanian women’s dress, also some (indirect) inspiration from the works of Michael Nesterov and orthodox saint icons in general.
Lotara Sarrin: Her design didn’t change much because she’s already perfect. But I did make her look a bit like Amrita Sher-Gil’s “Three Girls” painting.
Amar Astarte: Based off the irl statuette of (possibly) the goddess Astarte that was found in the necropolis of Hillah, near Babylon. I also gave her a lab coat because cmon, evil scientist gotta evil science. (Statue pictured below)
Tumblr media
Mersadie Oliton: Her clothes and jewellery are based off art from the 17th century Ottoman Empire, specifically from the Rålamb book of costumes.
Tarasha Euten: Clothing and hairstyle are inspired by statues from the Roman Empire, while the accessories are inspired by the Indus River Valley civilisation.
Euphrati Keeler: her clothing is inspired by a mix of fanart I’ve seen of her and this photo of a person from Elmali in traditional clothing (from the 1873 Vienna world fair)
Tumblr media
This started off as a fun design thing and ended up with me doing hours of historical clothing research lmao 💀

Tiny Visions
Author's note: Part one of The Emperor of Mankind raising the baby primarchs! Next
tagged: @egrets-not-regrets
warnings: dehumanization of the primarchs, dehumanization of infants, Warp Fuckery
Summary: Several of the Very Tiny Primarchs warp powers begin to manifest themselves at the same time, while still in their gestation pods. The results of this cause the Emperor to order them to be pulled from their gestation tubes as very young infants.
The tireless and careful work of over a thousand years' worth of genetic testing, engineering and tinkering lay slumbering in twenty maturation pods. Hundreds of anxious scientists watched every readout on the monitors, every twitch that the infant super-soldier generals made as they slept and grew in their incubation chambers, worried that if they did not keep their tense vigil, something terrible would happen and one or more of the little ones would be lost, and His Excellency would be furious… Or worse, disappointed that something had happened to one of his currently tiny creations.
Each of the twenty tiny primarchs floated in their numbered pods, what they may dream of was unknown to any of the scientists who kept monitoring them constantly. This project was intensely secret - from the moment that each of them had been brought onto the project (anywhere between months to decades ago) they had never left the underground palace genetics laboratories, lest the enemies of the Emperor of Mankind find out about what was being created in the sprawling complex. The Thunder Warriors were… They had been a success, yes. But their genetic enhancements had been unstable, and they had taken very poorly to the uneasy peace that the Emperor, His Custodes and Thunder Warriors had created across Terra, ending the shattered factions that Terra had long-descended into in the endless Night that Humanity as a whole was only beginning to crawl out of, and only by the grace and aid of The Emperor and the other Perpetuals who had lent their guiding hands and keen minds to the task of Uniting Terra.. And eventually, to reach out to the scattered and lost pockets of Humanity still lost to the Long Night that had consumed the galaxy.
The Primarchs were due to be released from their gestation pods within the next several months, if the meticulously gathered and reviewed data continued to show the signs of their growth and maturation within their tubes at the rate that they were currently growing at. There was some uncertainty as to just what physical age the little soldier-generals would be once they were released from their maturation chambers, given the fact that they would stand larger than even the Legiones Astartes that they would be commanding once fully mature. Still, it was none of their places to question how long the little generals would sleep and grow within their maturation chambers, merely watch and ensure that they got the nutrient slurry infused into their -
Primarch Eight began to thrash in it's sleep, tiny fists flailing, mouth opening in closing and head thrashing back and forth in clear signs of distress, causing dozens of alarms to go off. His dedicated team of geneticists rushed over to his chamber, frantically reading the sudden change in vital signs and movement - the little ones commonly moved a little, but were primarily stationary as they grew.
Primarch Nine began to thrash and wail as well - his tiny wings flaring out and causing him to be propelled against one wall of it's maturation pod and bounce off, it's tiny fists and feet flailing. It's mouth opening and closing in silent wailing. Nine's team rushed over to try and figure out what had set the little general off, their voices low and frantic.
Primarch Fifteen, who was the most deeply connected to the warp according to The Emperor and Lady Erda, turned an even brighter red and began wailing and flailing in it's pod as well, possibly in response to two of it's siblings suddenly reacting in distress to some sort of stimuli that none of the assembled baseline human scientists could begin to fathom.
And then, to the tremendous distress of it's entire team, primarch fourteen decided to Cause Problems because it's siblings were being rambunctious by teleporting outside of it's gestation pod. Again. It teleported several inches off of the ground and would have hit the ground with a wet thud (and probably start to wail at the top of all three of it's lungs) had not a pair of large, darkly tanned hands not suddenly grabbed the tiny primarch out of the air. "Fourteen, what have I told you about teleporting outside of your pod before it's time to leave, hmm?" The Emperor of Mankind rumbled, staring down at one of his future generals.
The baby Primarch with short, ashy white hair plastered flat to his skin by the incubation fluids opened it's golden eyes and stared up at it's creator and Lord. It's gummy, toothless mouth opened and it wailed tiny hands balling into fists as it flailed at the indignity of being cold, as the thick, sticky incubation fluids quickly began to chill the tiny primarch.
"Neoth, give him here, he's cold." Lady Erda ordered, lightly swatting at the emperor, having removed her clean jacket and began to wrap it around the infant primarch, rocking him back and forth, murmuring in a low, soothing voice "Shhh, shhh ,shhh. Mama is here, little one. I know, it's bright and you are cold, and some of your brothers are very upset. That's why mama and papa are here. To see what has upset you so. Come on now, stop crying for mama, you're safe now. There's a good boy."
Fourteen stopped crying at the sound of one of it's creators' voices, golden eyes wide, as a tiny fist was shoved into it's mouth. It leaned it's damp head against her chest, it's breathing slowing down to normal, before it's eyes slid shut and it began to sleep.
The Emperor of Mankind had left Fourteen in Lady Erda's capable hands, walking over to where Eight's, Nine's and Fifteen's teams were gathered and frantically trying to figure out why the three infant primarchs had started to thrash around and wail within their incubation chambers. Apart from distress-related vitals changes, there was nothing that any of the mortals could discern was wrong with any of the tiny primarchs.
"Imperator! We-" The lead scientist started, bowing deeply as he spoke, going silent as the large perpetual raised a silencing hand.
"Eight and Nine are having visions, and Fifteen is currently psychically connected to the two of them. The visions are not happy ones, which has upset all three of them. While I had intended on letting them incubate in their pods until they were physically toddlers…" The emperor's gaze focused for a moment on Lady Erda, who was still rocking a sleeping Fourteen and humming a lullaby to it. A small frown pulled at his lips "Will they be stable, if removed from their gestation pods?"
"S-sire?" Several scientists stuttered at the same time, eyes widening in surprise.
Amar Astarte walked over, grabbing the most recent readouts collected on each of the infant primarchs. "They should be able to survive outside of the pods. I thought that the plan was to wait until they were toddlers physically, before releasing them from their gestation pods? That way they would have a degree of independence before starting to be trained, sir. As infants they will have different developmental and physical needs… Also none of them should be capable of doing much more than rolling over on their own… Warp-based power shenanigans notwithstanding, my lord."
"… Nine and Eight have visions of what will happen, if they stay in the gestation tubes for that long. It is not a future I wish to see come to pass." The Emperor responded, the frown on his face deepening. While he could dismiss Erda from the project - and Amar as well… Part of him would rather that not happen. Both of them were incredibly talented geneticists and incredibly useful to him.
"… There is also the fact that we've been getting some rather… Unusual readings from Primarch Twenty's pod. It's abilities keep us from doing a visual check of it without removing it from the gestation pod entirely, I would advise caution in twenty's case." The geneticist warned The Emperor, frowning a little as well.
"Hmm? No, their readings are fine. They're a perfectly healthy set of twins." The Emperor corrected, placing one hand on the glass of Nine's pod, the other on Eight's as he sent a psychic wave of calm and peace their way, to get the little ones to stop thrashing and crying in their pods. He wasn't expecting three new minds brush clumsily up against his own in response, filled with innocent curiosity and fear. The emperor again pulsed calm-care-safety to the three fussing infant Primarchs. Fifteen - who he had most contact with - settled down immediately. Nine fussed for a couple more seconds before settling down. Eight, from whom the most concerning visions of chaos-tainted Astartes had come from fussed until he reached out to eight's mind once again and sent more soothing thoughts and feelings to the very fussy dark-haired baby. Eight finally settled down.
"… Oh. When do you want to begin decanting, sire?" Amar asked, slightly taken aback at his answer.
"I will need to ensure that the wing of the palace for the twenty of them is fully furnished and baby-proofed… Decant them in two weeks, beginning with One. I will increase the security around these labs and the Gellar field that protect them from outside warp influence. Three full squads of Custodes will be at each location, and I will have Valdor be watching over them directly. Do not interfere with their protective details." The emperor ordered "Back to your standard duties. Eight, Nine and Fifteen are already back in their slumbering states…" He let his voice soften and warm a little as he looked upon Erda, who was still rocking a sleeping Fourteen in her arms. Something about the sight stirred something very old in his heart briefly, but there was much to do, and she was a potential future traitor to his glorious cause. "Erda, the Primarchs' rooms aren't ready yet. Fourteen will need to go back into his pod for his own safety."
Erda sighed, cuddling Fourteen a little closer (the little Primarch whining wordlessly a little in his sleep) before nodding in agreement "You're right. Alright, sweetie, time to go back into the pod. Remember, mama loves you and your brothers." She pressed a kiss to it's forehead as two members of Fourteen's team opened it's gestation pod and brought it over for Erda to lower the tiny general into, which she did without complaint.

How can you make Cawl "better" Say another techpriest does some wacky stuff that changed the lore. How woudl you write it? sorry if i wrote it mean
If they absolutely had to have him make his primaris marines and his automatic plasma weapons and his funny AI, fine. GW wants to sell minis and those things alone place him around the intelligence level of someone like Amar fucking Astarte. That is a huge compliment. That is insanely impressive and still actively undoes like half the Imperium's tech shortcomings via a series of illogically "secret" tech advancements.
What they shouldn't have done. What they couldn't help but do, right, is have the overlong slab of plot devices show off how smart he is by diminishing other factions. Why is he able to reverse-engineer the Pharos device? Why should he know where all the blackstone is? Why should he know how to jailbreak scarabs and modify engrams, one of the single most advanced pieces of tech in the entire fucking setting?
If GW must have someone's early-era ff.net OC clogging up the setting, he would be massively improved by actively showing that he doesn't understand xenos technology, and that he realises his lack of comprehension is a frustration and a problem that cannot be brute forced. That he must further commit heresy by engaging in diplomacy with them, and he's not good at it. Give him a shred of depth. Make him a character. As it stands, he is the narrative equivalent of a person whose entire personality trait is "I need everyone to know I am smart and they are not", except he's being constantly rewarded for it.
Fabius Bile is a thousand times better than Cawl because he's limited, despite his intellect. His reincarnation process is endlessly flawed. He's only as good as he is because he had to go and learn from the Drukhari, who he still acknowledges are smarter than him. He has to fight for quality resources, for gene-seed, for access to materials, for his authority. He has to bargain and trade. He has to do things involving Eldar without understanding them, to his aggravation and intrigue. His brilliance at cloning keeps biting him in the ass. He's interesting because of that constant challenge.

Warhammer Lore Gameshow
40K has many stupid names, but few as stupid as the names they give to their equipment
Answer Below
Number four, the Rogal Dorn Main Battle Tank
While the tank very much is named the Rogal Dorn, this is in honor of the primarch, and not because he invented it. The assumption is that much like the Leman Russ, the Dorn tank was found by the Imperial Fist legion and named in their honor
The rest are unfortunately real explanations given by GW

I find the reason gw gives us for no lady space marines silly and stupid
The Emperor putted wolf DNA into his son, manage to make marines out of older folks even though it's hard, Had like tons of years of human energining, and manage to make the custodes. But somewho he can't figure out how to work it onto a women. Nope never mind he had a women who help him with his space marine projects and she could've help him with that and another one gave her DNA towards their 21 genetically modified kids nope it impossible.
I think a better explanation would've been that there were plans for women space marines and maybe some were already made but it was destroyed with Amar Astarte when she blown up. Emperor didn't have time to redo it because Erda didn't trust him anymore and sent the kids away. (I don't know the time between those incidents sorry). So now with dropping off Alpharius to Malcoder to raise, he started the crusade with women marines on backburner because that wasn't important as than finding his other 20 tools err children and starting to unite humanity once more.
It's probably a silly idea but it's better than the scientist who lived since WE FUCKING STARTED LEARN HOW TO FARM to not understand how a women works.
That or he was gay and wanted to be surrounded by buff men but that's more a joke and Gw would probably never say anything directly on the Emperor's sexuality.

Two- Witchy Woman
Disclaimer: I do not know much about witchcraft or anything associated with it besides the few tv shows and movies I have seen. If I have gotten anything wrong or mixed up, please feel free to let me know. I want to get as much right as I can as I have done some research, but I know I do not know a lot.
previous | taglist
I bite at my thumb pad as I look my dilemma in the eye and time is running out. Rowan will be here soon, and after making the last clean up check, I decide that my bleached tee isn’t good enough for the small study session. Two button up shirts lay on my bed, covering the blue plaid quilt my mum bought me when I first moved out- she cried as she pressed the nonexistent wrinkles out of the thick fabric with her hands, tucking the corners neatly under the mattress. My eyes divert between the two. They’re the same, in reality, just inverted colors of the other. The white droplets on the black silk. The black droplets on the white silk. I walk over to my top drawer and search for the matching neck scarf that I insisted on buying, giving my older sister another reason to roll her eyes at me. I hear a sudden knock on my front door and in haste, I pull out my answer to my dilemma.
“Coming,” I call out, buttoning the white droplet shirt. I ruffle my long curly hair before rushing to the front door, my shirt half-buttoned.
I turn the knob, holding my breath as I watch Rowan come into view. Her hair is pulled into a neat ponytail hoisted high on her head and she’s wearing a black graphic tee that her sleeves rolled up. “Hi,” my voice croaks as she stands outside my flat door with her backpack on her shoulders. The black velvet chicken lays across her throat as it tighter as she smiles softly at me with her mouth parts slowly.
“Hi.” My hand grips the brass knob tightly as I lean against the wooden door, crossing my legs in front of one another. I become all too aware of how long I look at Rowan, drinking in her brown eyes and drowning in her glowing skin. I want to stare at her all day- she could be doing nothing and I would be intrigued.
“Can I come in or are we studying out here?” She cocks her brow up at me, a sly smile forming on her mouth before I push the door open completely forgetting the reason she came here for.
“Oh, erm, yeah,” I rub the nape of my neck, embarrassed as I motion her through the doorway. She walks past me, her shoulder brushing my chest, and I smell the sweet scent of flowers. “How are you?” I close the door and follow her into my living room. It’s small, with only a couch, television and its stand and small coffee table in between the two, but it’s one of my favorite places in the flat. She sits down on the cream leather couch and begins to dig through her bag.
“I’m fine,” she says as she pulls out two copies of The Tempest. “Didn’t know if you had a copy so I grabbed one from the store. If that’s okay?” She hands me the red used book, corners of the pages slightly torn from the previous owners’ use. I suddenly feel warm as I stand in the room, all too aware of my looming presence. I sit down beside her, looking over the book before realizing that my own book is in my bedroom. “Thanks,” I hold up my gift before gently opening the cover. Inside was a new inscription from the gingerly handwriting that I have just now come in contact with.
“I owed you.”
I smiled as I turned the page and began to read the play again. I can’t help but notice how close we’re sitting next to each other, feeling the electricity nearly flying through us. I clear my throat as I try to concentrate on the printed words, but her slow breathing fills my ears. I adjust my black jeans and run my hand across the length of my jeans, wiping the slight sweat away. It was too much for any man to bear, being in the room with Rowan, let alone being this close to her. My pinky could reach over and touch the exposed skin of her knees and I’d melt into liquid. I look over at her, her brows furrowed in concentration, and I feel my heart begin to race. The black ink tattoo behind her ear is of a crescent moon and stars creeping onto her neck. “Do you want some coffee? Tea? Crisps?” I ask, finally breaking the heavy and unbearable silence between us. Rowan looks up at me, completely exasperated, and smiles softly, placing her hand in the crook of the small book with her pencil stuck in her ponytail.
“Sure,” she says, her voice melodic to my ears. Her eyes are dark when looking up at me and I feel my throat run dry and I can’t seem to watch her watching me. Normally, I’m calm and collected around women- I can chat them up all the way to my bedroom to pull my leg over, but Rowan… She makes me nervous when she walks into the room with my stomach in knots. “Whatever you have is nice. Don’t go and make a fuss because of me.”
You’re worth the fuss, I think to myself. What is going on, Styles? You’re never like this.
I shake my head and leave the living room to Rowan. The kitchen, though small, is big enough to let my thoughts out. I think Rowan’s beautiful, yes, but why am I so nervous around her? She’s just my classmate and we’re doing a project together. Calm down.
The kettle hisses at me, letting me know it’s ready and I pour it into a teapot, grab two cups placing them with sugar and milk on a small tray my absent father gave me two birthdays ago and tuck the half empty bag of crisps under my elbow. I walk back into the living room with Rowan on the phone, her voice frantic.
“You sure? Is she okay?” she asks, turning her body into the couch when she sees me. “Alright, erm, I’ll be right there. Thank you, Mary.”
She looks up at me with pleading eyes full of regret before she speaks, her voice barely above a squeak.
“I’ve got to go. It’s me Gran.” She stands and proceeds to shove her book into her bag before she walks out of my flat, but not before I place the tray down on the table with a force that I never meant to use, rattling the porcelain dishes.
“Wait, let me, at least, walk you down,” I call out, running after her as I rake my hair in frustration. I closed the door, half running after Rowan as she glided down the stairs. She’s in the car park before I can break ground. The sound of the engine spurring fills the air. She tries to turn the engine again, again, and again until I reach the opened car door.
“You’ll flood the engine that way. Be no use to you then,” I say, my smile trying to calm Rowan down. “I can take you.”
“I can’t ask that of you, Harry,” Rowan’s voice breaks, tears spilling down her face.
“You didn’t ask, love, I offered. C’mon,” I nod my head back to my flat. “Let me grab my keys and wallet and we’ll be on the way, yeah?” Rowan nods as she stands outside her car. I hear the slamming of her door when I turn to leave and a hushed, “Fuck.”
***
“It’s down there. First little dirt road on your left,” Rowan points at the small brown path that barely lets my car fit on its way. It was a quiet thirty minute drive to the small village Rowan calls home. Shere- the small town that never lets any new business go unnoticed. Rowan busied herself calling Mary again to check in, letting her know she was on the way. I pull up to a small weather worn red brick house with flowers planted in every inch of ground that could be except for the small gravel pathway that leads you to the front wooden door. Roses, tulips, daffodils, wildflowers- Rowan had every flower that one could have, but the majority of the vast arrangement of color were roses- pink, yellow, purple, red. Vines and moss creep up the brick of the house with no intention of stopping.
“You want to come in?” Rowan asks as she begins to climb out of my car. “Be a shame that you came all this way without a proper cup of tea and a thank you.”
“You want me to come in?” I ask, but Rowan pushes the front door of her home open by the time I climb out of my car. She left the front door open for me and when I walked in, the strong scent of flowers and chocolate hit my nose.
“Gran?” Rowan calls out, her eyes frantic as she walks into the front hallway. “Why don’t you wait for me in the parlor? Gran should be coming soon.” She turns her head looking back into the open sliding glass door into the back garden. “Erm, she’s got a bit of a memory problem so…” She looks back up to me, tears brimming over.
“Go,” I say, “I’ll find the parlor. Don’t worry about me.” Rowan smiles, graciously, and walks into the back garden, which unsurprisingly, has more roses and plants within eyesight. I wander around the small home, the cozy air reminding me of my childhood one, before I find the small unused parlor. Book line the walls- all the way from Poe to Everything to You Need to Know about Herbs. I run my finger over the spine of a small leather book labeled “Astarte’s Book of Shadows”. I pull it from the row, the leather claiming the books that sit next to it. It feels heavy when I finally have it in my hands and I have an urge to open it, but the feeling fades when I hear Rowan’s voice.
“Gran, you can’t do that. The cookies were burning. You scared me. What if I-“
“Ya Amar, you cannot worry about such things. I’m fine. How was your reading with that tall boy you told me about?” A sweet, but stern voice spoke back at Rowan’s concerns.
“You were sitting on the garden wall- the high one. But,” Rowan sighed. “My car wouldn’t start so he brought me. He’s in the study, Gran. Behave.” A small elderly woman that looked almost like Rowan with a crooked back turned into the room. Her skin was tanned like Rowan’s but with white long hair in a braid. Her skin, wrinkled with sun spots, was also covered with small tattoos. She looked up at me and smiled before sitting down on the blue couch that I was standing behind. I placed the black book back on the shelf and sat down beside the aging woman. I extend my hand and introduce myself.
“Harry Styles, madam.” She looks at my hand and smiles. Her fragile fingers wrap around my pinky, pulling me towards her. She places her other hand over the top of mine before speaking.
“You know she likes you too. Only one who's ever been truly nice to her. Alice Lloyd.” She lets go of my hand and laughs softly as she was in a small joke that I was unaware of.
Do what? I think. I never said…
“You didn’t have to.”
“Gran, behave.” Rowan brings three cups in one hand. I try to stand to help her, but she shoots me down. She brings an antique teapot. She gently pours tea into the three cups, smiling as she hands Alice her cup and as she hands me my own, her smile is full of gratitude.
“Quite a garden you have,” I say speaking to both women. “It’s lovely.”
“Gran started it when she moved here years ago. I just try to keep it up,” Rowan sits down into the chair opposite us. Her hair is down, small tendrils falling into her face as she blows into the small cup.
“You do more than that, ya amar. You put the new basil bush in just yesterday. Don’t sell yourself short, love,” Alice sighs before turning to me. “You from London, Harry?”
“Just outside. Holmes Chapel in Cheshire. My mum owns a pub there in town.”
“How nice,” Alice looks at my shirt and I’m all too aware that my shirt is nearly unbuttoned, exposing my two swallows on my chest and the butterfly on my torso. I clear my throat as I try to casually button the rest of my shirt. “You go to the university, as well? English major? Let me guess, you want to become a writer?”
“Gran,” Rowan’s voice is short- her eyes not faltering from her tea.
“Well, it looks like the fun for me has run out. The adventure outside has taken me so I think I’ll retire to my bedroom for the evening. Good meeting you, Harry,” Alice motions me to lean closer to her with her finger and when doing so, I feel the slight wet kiss on my cheek. I smile before speaking, “Nice meeting you Gran.”
Rowan helps her grandmother up and when they think they’re out of hearing, I hear the small whisper, “He’s got dimples, Rowan. Quite handsome. Don’t mess this up.”
I smile, my dimples evident, as I hear Rowan’s small, but grand response, my heart overwhelming with joy and wanting.
“I won’t. As long as he doesn’t.”

All hail Amar Astarte, mum of both Loyalist and Chaos Space Marines, grandma of the Primaris Marines, such an absolute Chad (Chad-ette? Claire? I.D.K.) that she almost gave us gene-amped Guardsmen, and the Emperor was so scared of her he changed their name to 'Space Marines' because he didn't want to have to use her name for them.
She also had her own personal void shield and was of the opinion that rejuvenat treatments were for little bitches. And still nearly fucked the Emperor over despite being an old lady because she had zero chill. Absolute legend.

EROS & ÍSIS, TRANSMUTANDO A RESPONSABILIDADE.
Pensar responsabilidade, alude em primeira instância a uma embrionária questão filosófica onde separar o ser determinado do ser arbitrário e potente, parece sem dúvida uma decisão essencial para a continuação de elucubrações futuras a respeito do assunto.
Assim, não parece incorreto afirmar, que qualquer sujeito que queria pensar a respeito da responsabilidade, tenha antes mesmo de colocar-se frente a uma atitude reflexiva ,e que dirá, filosófica, escolher a partir de qual pressuposto básico partirá seu pensamento, isto é, deverá antes mesmo de posicionar-se, pressupor que ao menos em dado momento, estará transitando entre uma visão determinista do homem e outra positivista, produzindo um movimento dissolvedor e coagulador de conceitos, que sejam eles novos ou antigos, hão de serem transmutados.
Se passássemos então a refletir sobre o homem dentro deste contexto, apareceriam então novas variáveis, que sem dúvida seriam infinitas, posto que a partir deste momento, pensaria-se a “responsabilidade em relação a”, este “a” ao qual propõe-se colocar em relação a palavra ou conceito “responsabilidade” é infinito, uma vez que como palavra ou conceito, pode ser colocado em relação a qualquer outro. Então, em primeiro lugar, o homem apareceria aqui como o sujeito que constrói essa relação, o que não o exclui como conceito, nos obrigando a colocar em questão o que este “homem” vem estabelecer como “em relação a” responsabilidade.
Aqui temos o início de uma proposta de reflexão a qual poderiam-se produzir e da qual já foram produzidos inúmeros estudos e linhas de pensamento, afinal, toda vez que se pensa como o “homem” reflete a respeito de qualquer coisa, deve-se considerar em primeira instância, que a palavra “homem” também não está destituída de uma série de construtos, o que por sua vez, também inclui a perspectiva de que, este homem ao qual nos referimos, pensa sobre si mesmo, levando-o a estar também em transito entre um “considerar-se através de uma perspectiva determinada ou positiva”.
Se como positiva, pensa-se a atitude de um homem criador e ao mesmo tempo, não determinado, a construção da responsabilidade não mais estaria sujeita ao ampliar sua observação do mundo, de uma perspectiva causal, mas sim, pensada como oriunda de uma força motriz interna e movimentadora, como um fogo ou sopro divino, mas que pertence a casa de um feminino muitas vezes esquecido, por um pensar humano que destitui este homem de alma.
Quem foi a fulana que em meu desejo revelou-se apoteose?
Como Mesopotâmios ou Egípcios antes do Império Novo, quando Osíris ainda não tinha renascido, tampouco sido morto por Seth, te fiz deusa ao ritualisticamente unir-te ao divino, exaltando aos céus poder tocar nos lindos frutos da natureza que constituem as partes integrantes de teu corpo.
Gaia mulher, é na profundeza da tua terra que o ctônico e telúrico escondem magias antigas, como se fostes o Heroon de meu espírito. 
Como os fantasmas dos ancestrais ilírios da Macedônia, escuto ecos de línguas desconhecidas e distantes, que fazem ritos com tambores, como aqueles que previram a vitória mágica aquemênida sobre as luxúrias babilônicas. 
Ishtar acádia, tu que és Inana suméria, Astarte fenícia e Asterote dos filisteus, onde é que no teu ventre há espaço para acolher-me por completo? Tu és a Ísis para os mortos e como a Osíris, vem a mim ressuscitar.
Mãe grande mãe, menina, mulher, será que és justiça cega, ou ciente do teu falo mágico como a Rainha de Espadas?
Como Moisés fui entregue num cesto as tuas profundas águas, como Obaluaê o grande filho do Olimpo, um apolíneo Hórus que resplandece de corpo e alma. Menino novo que conheceu logo cedo o quanto a imunda aparência, antes de transmutada em resplandecente ouro, faz muita diferença, até no receber da menor esmola.
Onde está  Oxalá seu pai? 
Porque abandonara-o até a misericordiosa mãe postiça, rainha de todas as marés?
Que faz um filho na ausência de um pai que lhe conceda os ditames de suas  castradoras leis? 
Há um quê de feminilidade em toda a disciplina, o deus sol é também todo caridoso e dos males redentor, pois por baixo da palha em que se escondem as rudes marcas da doença, um homem vigoroso resplandece tamanha saúde, Omolu.
Responsabilidade é o resgate do mortal desfazer-se das coisas, é a Iansã renovadora da morte constante de todas as coisas, nem toda a responsabilidade é um fazer-se consciente de que ao menos pouco, pode o homem o futuro alterar.
Quem é a monstruosa Lua seguida da Rainha de Copas e antecessora do Oito e do Seis de Paus?
É por não ser a consciência displicente ao reino dos afetos, que por obra e graça justifica-se o Amor.
Contra o contágio de uma Varíola emocional, o homem está exposto a sofrer das infinitas pústulas das quais vazam fétidas gotas de suor desnecessário, isto porque ao responsabilizar-se, se esquece de um Feminino digno de torná-lo responsável tal como a pobre mãe solteira, que ao ocupar o lugar do pai, move o espírito e até mesmo a alma, na direção criadora que empurra o filho para fora de seu ventre.
Trabalha homem!
Trabalha!
Trabalha porque te designa o teu Deus patriarcal e todo poderoso, trabalha porque o trabalho que envolve o nascer da vida, só encontrarás quando souberes das dores impostas ao ventre de tua Mãe-Mulher. Trabalha, e te faz forte para arar a terra seca, como se sem a aquosa feminilidade, pudesses mesmo fertilizar as sementes de onde tira o teu sustento.
Não são poucas as representações femininas em que a humanidade convém aproximar o renascer, tal como a mãe Maria de cristo e as Madalenas que com amor limpam-lhe as feridas, o homem só é responsável quando crê que dele e de seu trabalho hão de vir frutos, mas esquece que só pode ser responsável por aquilo que lhe compete e adorando a um Pai-Rei e reprodutor da lei, esquece a sua instintual competência de também amar e proteger seu Fruto-Filho.
Esquece-se de usar a lei paterna e sua racional atitude consciente, para compreender as leis causais que hão de garantirem a competência para realização de seu trabalho, deixando inutilmente de verificar o quanto será realmente capaz de amar os frutos de sua empreitada. 
O jovem sucessor e abençoado príncipe, senta a direita de Deus pai todo poderoso, e sua mãe destronada não está nem próxima de Hátor, que carrega em sua mão esquerda a cruz santa que representa a vida. 
Da responsabilidade suprema de dar origem a vida, tomaram de Ísis e Osíris a culpa pela tão esperada cheia do Nilo, pondo-a a mercê da decisão suprema de um Deus que tudo sabe, pois tem medo de conter em si o desconhecido.
Eis que com a mudança para um algo tão masculino, guerreiro e homicida, o homem que antes matava para comer, mata pelo desconhecer de que ignora a muito tempo o desconhecido, e como se só pudesse ver o que tem em seu mundo de material, sua no trabalho pesado, cobrando de forma nenhum pouco misericordiosa, que seja ele mesmo capaz de sustentar um futuro desconhecido.
 Para onde vai toda essa força ativa e fálica do fogo, que consome tudo a sua frente, se não há água que lhe receba e lhe esfrie, gerando seu sutil filho vapor?
Responsabilidade é um ritual de apoteose, que deifica o trabalho de hoje e crê no nascer divino de um Novo Amanhã, que como lei natural da própria vida, precisa sempre de um pai e uma mãe, o homem, quando gosta de pensar que é advindo de um único Deus cósmico e criador, deveria lembrar que seu glorioso Pai, precisa ser fecundo em si, para que sustente a vida que ele mesmo criou.
Nem o pensar mais determinista explica o que determina o homem a buscar ser assim tão positivo, talvez seja porque ele tem em si, por mais que negligenciada, a concepção do quão fecunda é sua própria natureza.

Velas: amor em chamas
 Para quem nasceu em uma família católica ou umbandista, kardecista, dentre varias outras religiões, o uso das velas não é novidade, apesar desse uso ser comum em várias religiões não é difícil encontrar pessoas que não sabem o porque seguem esse ritual tão poderoso. Se você é uma das pessoas que adora acender uma vela mas não sabe necessariamente para o que ela serve não desgrude os olhos desse artigo, prometo que ele vai acabar com a maioria das suas dúvidas.
Deixe sua vela e seu fósforo ao seu lado e prepare-se para amar ainda mais o fogo da espiritualidade.
Afinal de contas, para que firmamos as velas?
Sabemos que as velas não são utilizadas somente no sentido espiritual, as velas foram um dos nossos principais modos de iluminação antes do aparecimento da electricidade e tiveram antecessores ainda mais rudimentares, mas dentro de tantas utilidades como é que a vela foi parar dentro das religiões? Não sabemos exatamente a resposta para essa pergunta o que sabemos é que para os gregos as velas simbolizavam o luar e constatou-se que na Grécia as velas eram usadas ao 6º dia de cada mês como adoração a Artemisa, a deusa grega da caça. 
A simbologia da vela mais simples é de trazer luz para afastar a escuridão do nosso ser. Entretanto firmar uma vela (já vou entrar nesse mérito sobre firmar e não acender vela) vai além de apenas afastar a escuridão. O tempo é relativo, já dizia o gênio Einstein, e no mundo da energia espiritual o tempo é ainda mais rápido. Quando estamos fazendo uma oração nos focamos em pedir e agradecer o mais fortemente possível, entretanto o sono vem, o dia começa e logo nos esquecemos do que foi agradecido/pedido, ai que entra o principalmente significado de firmar uma vela.
Quando fazemos uma oração direcionada a vela a energia do fogo é ''testemunha''de nosso pedido. Enquanto a vela queima ela esta emanando nosso agradecimento/pedido para o mundo energético espiritual, fazendo que sempre que olharmos essa vela lembrarmos do propósito que ela foi firmada, assim intensificando nosso agradecimento/pedido
Por que firmar e não acender uma vela?
Quando acendemos uma vela ela pode ser somente para iluminar um local, quando firmamos uma vela ao acender o pavil estamos firmando nosso agradecimento/pedido, a vela terá um significado especial, seu agradecimento está firmado para um determinada(o) deusa, deus, orixá, anjo de guarda, devas, dentre de tantas outras deidades para quem você vai dedicar essa vela. 
Lembre-se: acender uma vela para iluminar, firma uma vela para dedicar. 
Qual formato de vela devo escolher?
Existe uma imensa gama de velas. Para agradecimento a deidades, orixás, santos, anjo de guarda, devas aconselho velas palito. Se você quiser que seu pedido dure mais velas de sete dias são uma ótima opção, entretanto todos os dias troque a água do copo e reafirme seu pedido. Para abençoar e fazer com que o ambiente fique mais aconchegante aconselho velas pequenas, aqueles redondas, para que elas tenham o poder de mudar a energia do ambiente sempre as firme com verbos positivos e que combinem para a energia que você quer ter no ambiente. 
Qual cor de vela posso usar?
A cor da vela é muito importante, dependendo da cor da vela o pedido é mais harmonizado, abaixo você pode encontrar a melhor cor de vela e para qual deidade, orixá, santo, anjo, devas você pode acender.

Existe um ritual para acendermos uma vela? 
Rituais são parte do nosso história e podem fazer parte do nosso dia a dia também, como dedicar um tempo para se sentir bem durante a manhã, tomar café da manhã saboreando sua refeição, sem pressa, sem prestar atencão em mais nada, portanto é importante se ter um ritual para firmar sua vela.
A seguir o ritual que mais gosto para firmar velas:
 Vela
 Suporte para vela
 Copo d'água
 Incenso 
 Alguma erva ou flor
 Um cristal
Escolha um horário do seu dia em que ninguém possa te interromper. Escolha uma vela que melhor combine com seu momento e/ou que represente a deidade da qual você gostaria que te ajudasse.
Crie um ambiente aconchegante para firmar sua vela, Acenda um incenso, coloque o copo d'água ao lado, deixe o seu crista por perto, afinal de contas ele também se energiza com o poder da vela. 
Firme a vela usando verbos e pedidos positivos, verbo é ação, intensifique o tom da fala quando você for usar os verbos. Certifique-se de que os verbos e palavras que você esta usando são verbos positivos, para que o pedido possa ser positivo também. Não se lamente diante a uma vela, mesmo que você esteja triste, deprimido, estressado, tente apenas afirmar coisas boas, peça ajuda a deidade para qual você está firmando a vela, tendo um poder altamente eficaz para curar dores da alma. Se você está triste peça ajuda para que a felicidade se torne um hábito na sua vida. Se você está estressado peça que a paciência seja um dom a ser cultivado e assim por diante com qualquer problema que você estiver passando. 
Agradeça essa oportunidade de poder se conectar com o sagrado e sempre que você olhar para a vela feche os olhos rapidamente e agradeça por seu pedido estar sendo atendido diante do seu merecimento.
Firma sua vela em um local seguro, compre um suporte firme para que ela não caia e de preferencia em um local mais alto que a visão de seus olhos. 
Qual oração posso fazer?
Sempre comece seu ritual agradecendo, agradecer é a melhor forma de pedir. Quando você tiver que pedir algo fale o porque você é digno desse pedido, sempre lembrando em ter cuidado com o pedido, afinal, você pode pedir tudo, mas nem tudo convêm.
Vou passar uma oração base para firmar a vela, mas fique a vontade para fazer um mantra, uma oração espontânea que você sentir no oração.
Querida mãe, pai, filho criadores.
Agradeço a oportunidade de evolução que estou vivendo nesse momento como um ser em vossa sagrada natureza. Admito meus erros e agradeço a oportunidade de poder conserta-los nessa existência. 
Agradeço principalmente a dadiva que me dada de poder respirar profundamente e sentir a vida todas as manhãs, agradecendo também o alimento que nunca me falta, a presença de todas as pessoas que me ajudam a evoluir nessa vida e o teto que sempre me proteje quando a noite vem me abençoar.
Aproveito esse momento para pedir humildemente a (coloque o nome da deidade que você gostaria que te ajudasse) que me proteja e me abençoe nesse momento da minha vida. Peço que (coloque o seu pedido) diante do meu merecimento e de minha evolução.
Que assim seja e que assim se faça.
Considerações finais:
O poder da vela é extremamente intenso, tudo o que se for pedido voltará em dobro para você, então caso você acenda com verbos negativos ou desejando o mal para alguém quem vai mais pagar por isso é você mesma!
Acenda sua vela pelo o menos uma vez por semana, ainda mais se essa vela for para o anjo de guarda, aquele que sempre te acompanha e te guia nessa missão na terra.
Tire um tempo para você firmar sua vela, se conecte com o divino que existe em você, <3
Namastê!
