This Orphic Egg is surrounded by a metallic glass snake with glossy black glass eyes and translucent glow-in-the-dark turquoise spots. The egg itself is clear glass, with swirls inside that look like curls of white smoke, The chain is made from abrasion resistant cord which has been crocheted with moonstones, apatite, turquoise, labradorite, pearls, glass seed and bone beads. It’s 36 inches long and hangs just below the sternum of most women. #orphicegg #cosmicegg #cosmogonic #blacklightreactive #alexisberger #flamework #lampwork #glassart #glassartist #softglass #flameworker #necklace #jewelry #schmuckkunst #snakejewelry #GoodLuckCharm #GoodLuckCharms #ジュエリー #schmuckkunst #bijoux https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl39-DUJ7dk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

for a guy who is apparently wearing cosmogone spectacles everywhere twitch does almost No silvering whatsoever. i don't even think they're good at it. they don't even like going to parabola half the time. what are they doing

maybe they just chose cosmogone shades so people wouldn't ask why they wear them all the time,,nobody ask them any detailed questions about silvering it'll make the story fall apart

#the real story is i chose yellow glasses by total coincidence and Then learned about cosmogone and went :O WHAT #but it's funny to think of in universe #i think they do a tiny bit of silvering if someone asks but that's kinda it #londonmusings

how the FUCK does one draw parabola

how to even comprehend a dreamscape lit with remembered sunlight of a false sun

#I’m suffering from ideas above my skill levels #It’s hard to even imagine how tf am i drawing this #Is there a roof in parabola? Or is it just endless orange-yellow cosmogone? #I am both not remembering lore and not having imagination to visualize this #Lots of locales in parabola to choose from and none of them i can visualize #nonsense #fallen london

I have no idea how I went so long without touching an italic nib because holy shit. Holy shit. This is delightful.

almost regretted making that post because it's based on the premise of something i'm writing (even if only for myself) and it felt like wasting a good idea by spoiling the "trick" to the audience but i think so far it's been quite worth it for the response. i really like each of the answers in the notes :) someone made the umbilical cord connection which was verymuch the intention

#it's meant to be like a primeval representation of connection to the ideal/abstract/divine that's considered to have since been lost. thus #the 'tower' eventually falls to ruin. not exactly in a single catastrophe but naturally such as erosion or age or disrepair. and early on #enough cosmogonically that it embodies a 'childhood of creation' manner of bliss akin to eden #each possible version is presented out of order and the trick with the vector/geometric line one is that it didn't fall to ruin but indeed #men became so blinded by the woes and ambitions of earthly/mundane existence they forgot how to find and see it but its still there. #wait backtrack its all framed as an explanation for a specific motif of art in. nevermind too much context

“And because I am happy, and dance and sing, they think they have done me no injury.” [Chimney Sweeper]

William Blake, a wonderfully exciting poet from the Romantic era, was born in London in 1757 into a working-class family with strong nonconformist religious beliefs. Blakes believe and symbols are continously intervowen in his art. His poetic genius is trying to liberate the instinctual self and to defeat reason. Blake's ethics formulates the originator of morality and religion through the process of liberation. Overcoming phenomenal objectness or fragmentation for the sake of a symbiotic unity of humanity within themselves and peaceful harmony of man with the world.

For every soul-wanderer, reading Blake is a spiritual gift and looking at his visualised art, a dive into cosmic seas of collective psychology. Blake is breaking the lopsided emphasis of idealistic works. In all his gatherings of beauty, there is always a shadow of existential crisis. Even in the following work "Songs of Innocence", the Fall off Paradise is already happening. The violation of nature has begotten: The water is no longer clean and clear. The eternal division of humanity from the divine cosmos as a complex interplay of an individual search for the Holy Grail, is the human idiosyncrasy. The scepticism against rationalism and science is also playing a key role in Blake's work, as he underlines that only “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.” [The Marriage of Heaven and Hell] and that "Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death."

Blake condemned the scientific trio of Isaac Newton, John Locke and Francis Bacon as sterile and materialistic. In this painting, (the idea of) Newton- sits on an algae covered rock, making calculations with a compass, like Urizen in Ancient of Days. He might be at the bottom of the sea, or perhaps in a black hole. He might be as Faust, signed a contract with the devil a few moments ago and then lose oneself in a cave, studying minerals and stones.

“The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.”

The work "Songs of Innocence (and Experience)" is a double set of illustrated poems showing “the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul”, the child-like and pure versus the angry and disillusioned (cf. Jung's psychology and the meanings of symbols and archetypes- The shadow of the child is the senex, vice versa). Here we also have dualistic concepts of questioning the being and the problem of theodicy: How could God tolerate the "evil" and why are bad things happening at all? If God is "the loving father" why are the humans deprived of their original goodness? Why is our world still torn between ferociousness of the few and the humble benign of the resisting ones? Through the Fall of Man the unity between man and animal was broken (Gen. 3, 17 - 19), so the seperation is a result of the "evil", which was subsequently brought into the world. An anthropological interpretation could be, that the "Fall of Man" or the "Original Sin" are narratives that memorize our cognitive faculty. First we had to be aware of ourselves and our environment, than we were able to distinguish between different kind of (living) beings. The consciousness aroused questions about ethics, examining motives, motivations and shaping a guideline of virtues (Golden Rule). But throughout the history of generating more insight- of metaphysical speculation and cosmogonic questioning of the creation of the world, it seems difficult to tell what we can really know and what are just guesses. In modern times (but beginning with Xenophanes) the imago of God is excoriated as anthropomorphic. But this statement shall not purport, that our human imagination is nothing less than an illusion and so less than nothing. As Blake wisely interlinks our assumptions with the search for the first principle:

“He who sees the Infinite in all things sees God. He who sees the Ratio only sees himself only. Therefore God becomes as we are, that we may be as he is.”

Poets are the mediator dei, healing the earthly-borns from the abscence of spiritual healing. The humanity got more distrustful torwords ideals and the invisible world, but on the contrary, an individual, who always lacked deep philosophical wondering, is affected and enraptured easily through manipulative groups, who are just imitating religious sentiments, but without soul's salvation. The search of the humankind is an eternal journey to it's cosmic roots, a balancing act between boon and bane, an entanglement of wisdom and folly: Theia Mania.

“In the universe there are things that are known and things that are unknown, and in between there are doors.”

There are some theories and perspectives dealing with the similarity between holiness and madness, found in all world religions. Mania can be the consequence of confrontation with the absolute and infinite, which is overwhelming the human reason and through overstraining, turning them mad. Mystic mania is one of my favourite motifs, it is the breath of prophecy and the ecstasy of poetizing the world of illusions, as a bridge to eternal ideas. It is the idea of intensive love (to God and being), a radical self-denial for unification, a call for liberation. Paradox pairs in Blakes works are continuously expanded,

"Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence."

Blake sets contrasts or he is breaking boundaries, either way he is creating and this energy of creating out of imagination, is considered by Blake as the "only life". ______________________________________________________________ Inspired by Blakes bucolic poetry and hints of a collapsing worlds, I was incited to write a small tribute with the most common motifs of the poetry in "Songs of Innocence".

The Active Evil and Passive Good by Elvin Karda

Dwelling in the arcadia Pure daisies and cle the joyful life Piping songs of pleasant glee A child watches the piper on a cload "Pipe a song about a lamb- Let those tones into the air A reminiscence of a golden land Hidden treasures in ancient sand!" The piper plucks a hollow reed fire tunes his inner song and he stains the water clear walking the rippling stream along In the evening dew The joy is giving way to tears When green shoots turn violet- blue Error is created and eternal what is true

The child's weeping as meek as lamb But vanishes and crumbles into dust As melody clothes the tone in written words Mind and body out of touch Energy is life and like a fountain overflows Active evil is better than told with bad intent passive good

New collection of Orphic eggs is available in my shop. I’m really excited to show this one, The egg itself is clear glass with a secret! It glows bright pink under a black light! Under normal light I looks like a clear orb with translucent swirls inside like wisps of smoke. It’s a glass color available through @doublehelixglassworks The spots on the snake also glow in the dark. #orphicegg #cosmicegg #cosmogonic #blacklightreactive #alexisberger #flamework #lampwork #glassart #glassartist #softglass #flameworker #necklace #jewelry #schmuckkunst #snakejewelry #GoodLuckCharm #GoodLuckCharms #ジュエリー #schmuckkunst #bijoux (at Alexis Berger' Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl1psA0v-aJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Raku was not a Cosmogone Clay Man until after he married PB and also became their business associate... I think PB hired them to work backstage at a performance they were doing Silverer work for, and they just kind of kept ending up together.

They are spouses first and work partners second. Raku is probably one of the only citizens of the Neath that's actually seen Potboiler's colony in full- it's the grandest gesture they can make.

His weird little corpse bride wants a corporate fursona and he's just like. well i love you so alright dear whatever makes you happy :)

Sorry to say that I expect to be distracted from Revolutionary Demonology for a little while, because I'm having to spend a week putting something together to fight for my job. Nonetheless, for whatever reason I found myself contemplating the way the book discusses the order of the cosmos as a "thermodynamic abomination". I find there's many contours there.

The word abomination here is an obvious rhetorical flair, but is conventionally a moral designation. There's a connection to the presentation of the cosmic order as being violently derived from its origin - carved in a Mother's flesh and blood as it were. "Abomination" is Latin in origin, meant colloquially to denote an object of almost supreme disgust but conceptually as a reference to some grievous offense against divine moral order. But perhaps for Gruppo Di Nun it's flipped, and the order itself is the grievous offense.

Perhaps in this configuration the order of the Man-God Machine emerges necessarily as crime, against the undifferentiated void that was once represented by a Mother, like Tiamat. In this sense we find ourselves in suspiciously familiar territory: that of Sethian Gnosticism. Here Marduk and Yaldabaoth almost look like the same person, and the Pleroma is the black void of the Mother's womb, what Gruppo Di Nun seems to figure as the objet du desir of a universal death drive. I suppose I can already sense a picture pregnant with Plotinus' old objection - that this world is such an utterly corrupt and criminal one, and yet here are the Sethians content to persist within it rather than excise from it. The void of the womb is such a wonderful place, the order of things is such an abomination, steeped in blood. Whatever are we doing here then? I suppose that's an answer I still have to find out by reading the rest of the book.

Much more intruigingly though, I almost feel an uncanny sense of a perspectivist dissolution of order and chaos here. Fundamentally, "abomination" is a category situated against pre-existing order. But for our "thermodynamic abomination" the "pre-existing order" is none other than primordial chaos. In the Sethian cosmogony there is a similar, somewhat inverted theme. It can be argued that, instead of primordial chaos, Pleroma if anything embodies a kind of primordial order, that being a necessary affect of the quality of divine unity that it's supposed to embody. And then Sophia and her son Yaldabaoth transgress and corrupt that unity and order: first by Sophia breaking the rules to conceive independently, and then by Yaldabaoth creating his own cosmos distinct from the Pleroma. Thus "chaos", of sorts, is introduced, and thence suffering.

Sophia herself is interesting to contemplate in this mix since, from what I have seen, Gruppo Di Nun places an intense focus on queer resistance to the heteropatriarchal social order, and so an antinomian queer rejection of heterosexual reproduction is very much in play, at least from what I've seen. This is represented in the figure of Apophis, the Egyptian serpent who ate the dead and battled Ra in its quest to devour the universe, and against whom a litany of spells were created for the sake of warding off, protecting from, or combatting. An uncreating force that continually overcomes creation, a recurring and unreproducing entity, the anti-dialectical power of extinction. And I thought of Sophia, as representing an entirely different rejection of hetero-reproduction, particularly in the Valentinian cosmogony.

Sophia "fell" because she tried to produce a new being without the aid of a syzgy, or twin, here meaning a male counterpart - as in, through parthenogenesis. The Aeons (including Sophia) were supposed to be emanations of the divine unity of God (that is to say the "true" God of Gnostic theology, which we must stress was still a Christian God), and as emanations they could only emanate other emanations through heterosexual reproduction. Syzygies were pairs of male and female Aeons who in turn emanated other syzygies, more heterosexual families of Aeons. Only God, who we should keep in mind was still called "The Father", was uncreated, and so only God could perform parthenogenesis. Sophia, however, wanted to understand God by way of imitation, and to do this she wanted to conceive a being without the aid of another being. This of course is an obvious flying in the face of heterosexual reproduction, which in Christianity both orthodox and Gnostic seems to be considered ordained by God. This attempt is regarded, in Valentinian terms, as a cosmogonic abortion that is in turn the cause of the creation of the physical world, and with it the suffering of all beings, and later regretted by a penitent Sophia. I would say that this narrative presents a profoundly negative attitude to abortion, even by the standards of "orthodox" Christianity at least up until the 19th century.

I can see, though, that this is not the ideal archetype for Gruppo Di Nun's worldview, since Sophia's fall is ultimately situated in a universe where divine unity is at the centre of the universe, where the fundamental opposite is the case for Gruppo Di Nun. And yet we could easily go back to the previous conversation of "thermodynamic abomination" as parallel to primordial cosmogonic transgression.

Thinking about the idea of transgression against the void is fairly fascinating for the rammifications it presents. But the nagging question of course would be should Life really have been expected to not emerge as it did, because it goes against Mother's wishes? That is the sense of what "abomination", as an inherently moral category, could as well imply.

on tumblr you can say words such as ‘doctor who is like mythology to me. it’s like an ongoing cosmogonic folktale’ and you will recieve 5 notes from people that are willing to indulge your insanity. in real life you say things like how are the kids and was your holiday fun and the weather’s lovely this morning. and i think that’s beautiful. autism.com/careers

#capaldi’s right when he calls the doctor a folk hero. actually he says that the folk hero isn’t ‘the doctor’ the folk hero is the #time traveller named doctor who. he’s also right when he says that this show is about death. well of course it is. death and time and #change and memory. he gets it like no one else. well let’s hope russell gets it too #actually in way this is um #blog thesis #jamie.txt #dw #doctor who
