PĂRINTELE JUSTIN PÂRVU DESPRE SINCRETISM ȘI PĂCATELE ÎMPOTRIVA FIRII
Dragul meu, este vorba despre viața noastră care a decăzut așa de puternic și înainte nu erau așa păcate, de toate nuanțele, nici măcar în dicționar nu exista terminologia aceasta mizeră care e acuma, de homo, lesbianism, nu se știa de unde vin toate lucrurile acestea. Dar întrucât ortodoxia noastră este obiectivul numărul unu, este ținta numărul unu pentru detronarea sa din înălțimea în care se…

Nexus - The Call, For A New Life - vinyl edition of 2021 Italian experimental jazz release, now with cover art by Noura Tafache (available as a poster)
Since the early 1980s, the Nexus creature has represented one of the most interesting realities of the Italian jazz scene. Daniele Cavallanti (Aktuala) and Tiziano Tononi (Moon On The Water/D.o.m Alia Orchestra) realize a sensational mix of orchestral praxis and impro-free jazz. The strength lies in the ensemble's variety of timbres, in that precise hybrid of styles reminiscent of the cross-sectional experiences of the 1970s of Zappa, Henry Cow or Charles Mingus. Thus electrifying phrasing, the most hermetic breaks in the plot prevail, which are sublimated, however, in a skillful balance between recognizable themes and more radical instrumental drifts. The choral openings of the woodwinds and the more abstract rhythmic trajectories of Tononi's drums, the abrupt swings of the vibraphone and drums, and the confusing, sparkling inserts of the violin are the dominant features. The drama of the sound also touches more Spiritual-Jazz peaks, evoking the sad story of the slave trade. Noura Tafeche's lysergic cover represents the transatlantic journey and the sincretic history that gave birth to Jazz culture, this drawing takes its cue from the artwork of Mati Klerwein (Miles Davis, Santana).

Quick thought about something that has been bugging me for a while now and many people keep missunderstanding.
Cultural apropiation is not a person participating from something inside another culture that's not theirs. Cultural apropiation is removing the meaning of that cultural piece for the sake of trending or capitalism transforming into something entirely different.
There are many aspecst of a culture that totally fine to share and experience from outsiders because is not inherently sacred or doesn't really hold some especific exclusive meaning. If someone were to come to my country and participate from our traditions, or dress in some traditional clothes no one would be offended because one of the most beautiful parts of culture as a whole is that you can share it. If anything, all cultures are the product of some level of sincretism.
Now, often i see TONS of post of people (mostly americans for some reason) about how everything is cultural apropiation when in reality, when you ask the people of said culture they will tell you that they are totally fine with outsiders participating without giving it much thought because not everything in a culture is sacred, sometimes clothes are just clothes, food is just food, and parties are for everyone.
So, please, before acussing someone of cultural apropiation first INVESTIGATE what are you saying. Is it sacred? is it meaningful? is a tradition because is fun or because it holds spiritual importance?
Someone could be participating in good faith of something, learning new things an experiencing something totally awesome while making memories and friends inside another cultural community while a bunch of strangers lose their shit on internet over something is not even that important for the very owners of the stuff.

🙊O segredo de São Cosme🙊 This one is very complex, swipe to see inspiration for multiple parts of this illustration including, among other details, the syrian twin saints Cosme & Damião, the twin orixà Ibeji often sincretized with them, the protective orixà of sweet water Oxúm, the oldest catholic church in Brazil located in Igarassu PE, and the mystic Colubus monkey believed to save the souls of twins who died at birth... Illustration from my master project at @illustration_udk @udkberlin Berlin, the #cancioneiroilustrado de #capoeiraangola , an #illustratedsongbook of Capoeira music. #saocosmeedamiao #oxúm #ibeji #osegredodesãocosmequemsabeésãodamião #colobusangolensis (hier: Igreja São Cosme e São Damião) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfByJ0Sjy4J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When I saw this piece, immediate memories came to my head.
I was on a rush, and Yasmine had arrived earlier.
A first glance was enough to figure out that I was in front of objects produced in the intersection of three imaginaries: religion, design and IA. The proposition seem a little simplistic to me. Isn't the sacralization of merchandise the main characteristic of capitalist relation to objects? Isn't AI willing to become the main source of images of the contemporary world? However, things complexified a little bit when I looked to this piece.
When I saw this piece, I knew instantaneouly that the aim of the artist was to built the aforementioned interstition in a more precise way. I am Mexican, and therefore, familiar with sincretic street expressions of catholic-based lithurgy. The material of the piece, which includes cheap pattern-shaped metal and neon, instantaneously reminded me the ambience of Mexico City's downtown neighborhood's.

When I told Yazamine about "altares" and street lights in Mexico City, she reminded me that the artist is also Mexican, which secunded my intuition.
The idea of AI leading some sort of tecno sincretic cult

That post about Christianity thinking it's modular when it truly isn't is so true tbh. Christians still have a massive problem with sincretic religions (which are a can of worms themselves when it comes to cultural destruction, but I'm not talking about that rn), and you can see that with how they either try to completely erase the meaning behind a certain festivity or make people stop celebrating it because it still has non-Christian connotations

It seems that with the amount of Japanese Servants that are being hinted for India Lostbelt, it is slowly becoming clear to me that the India Lostbelt may very well be a Japan vs India vs Moon Cell. I mean we have hints about Doman and Seimei, Danzo, Kotaro, Musashi, Tamamo and now perhaps Muramasa. Do you think this is because of the whole Shinto and Buddhism have origin in India thing? Also are you annoyed like others because of the whole too much Non-India Element? I'm tiny bit iffed so...
I don’t know the reason but yes, I’m... more than a bit crossed. 
I understand the game writers, devs and main target audience is jp but it really wouldn’t kill them to let other countries mythologies into the spotlight without turning half of them in a jp/franchise og wank fest. 
I’ve yet to read any Indian epic but from what little I learned via Fate or wikis about them... I’m pretty sure they can easily stand on their own and carry a mobile game chapter? 
Just make a CCC pt2 if they’re so enamoured with the Mooncell.

Filipinos are typically an intensely religious (superstitious) people. Roman Catholicism dominates, there are other various Christian/Protestant sects and a sizeable Muslim population. The Philippines of PT no longer observes Muslim holy days, however, and is seeing a popular movement towards Christian (Catholic) values. Paganism and folk beliefs, oddly, have strong supporters in the communist and rebel paramilitary groups (even a godless people need something to believe in, it seems). They wear talismans that they believe protect them from bullets. Agimat, or talismans, typically make use of Masonic, Greek, or alchemical symbology. I presume these were brought over to the Philippines by Europeans during the Spanish colonial period, and embraced by local mystic traditions.
There are hundreds of different Filipino pagan pantheons, as there are hundreds of indigenous tribes and nations. The afterlife, creation stories, tales of the death of the gods, cataclysms, legends of various deluges, animal fables, epic and heroic poetry all exist in multiple and different forms across different Filipino cultures. There are also traces of Hindu beliefs (brought by ancient settlers and traders) in art, place names, the various dialects, and in some myths.
Catholicism as practiced by most Filipinos is sincretic, it bends and accommodates very old folk and pagan beliefs. Native Filipinos welcomed the idea of rosaries and religious medals readily enough; for them they were just another talisman. The vast number of Catholic saints was only logical; are there not hundreds of gods for each valley and forest? The sincretism ranges from an absentminded belief that one shouldn't walk in certain areas after dark for fear of the ill glance (masamang tingin), to a sincere conviction that anito exist and engaging the services of barangans, hilot and babaylan. Mystery, possession, the fear of witchcraft and miracles fit in the belief that humans only shared the world with others, that dieties might sometimes inhabit the body of the village holy man or woman, and that the spiritualist or shaman was a conduit of spirits and a spokesperson for those from the other world. The church hierarchy tries to impose some sort of rational system of belief and acceptable sacraments based on canon law and catechism, but the people of the islands have believed and lived these traditions since ancient times. They're part of the water and soil.
Catholicism is strange enough as it is, but in the remote areas of the country and sometimes in the civilized cities, it is wild, ecstatic, irrational. It's rules make sense to those who know, and outsiders can only look on in confusion.

The Inti/Viracocha thing is very interesting indeed. Viracocha was considered the main creator deity across the Andes (at least in Tiwanaku) and is associated to the motif of the Staff God (Dios de Los Báculos) which is found famously in the Puerta Del Sol of Tiwanaku:
Tumblr media
He was present in the main two cultures before the interregnum period that preceded the Incas (the Huari and Tiwanaku), and is apparently attested in ceramics dating to 2250 BCE(!!!!) for comparison, at that time, the Indus Valley Civilization still existed and Sargon of Akkad built his empire in Mesopotamia, making Viracocha, if it is indeed him, by far the oldest god of the Americas and probably one of the oldest deities still worshipped in the world, see way below.
Now, when the Incas expanded their empire across South America, they brought their god with them: Inti, the Sun God. Manco Capác, the legendary(?) first Inca, was his son and was tasked by Inti to bring civilization, that is, the Inca Empire, to the Andes. All Incan emperors held this as fundament for their authority; they were the sons of the Sun.
(there are many versions of the legend of Manco Capác, do keep in mind)
Now the interesting thing is the relationship of Inti and Viracocha. Inti was the supreme god of the Incas, but Viracocha was worshipped all over the Andes as the creator god and supreme deity. So here is when things get complex (and mind you, I'm just recalling from a deep dive into Incan myth, I'm certainly getting things wrong). Some said that Inti and Viracocha were the same, others that Viracocha was an inferior god to Inti; there might be have been a conflict (with political implications no doubt) when the Incas, as they gained power, stopped considering themselves as heirs of Viracocha (also considered a god of civilization) and "created" Inti as the father of Manco Capác.
The relationship of the Incas with the rest of the gods of the Andean peoples was no doubt complex; they literally took many of the local gods (huacas, sacred things and places) to Cuzco, as a show of their power and to "hold them hostage" in a way, to make Cuzco the center of the world. And yet during Inca times, there were massive centers dedicated to other gods like Pachacamác (not to be confused with Pachamama), and there's evidence that worship took place at temples of cultures as ancient for the Incas as to us like Chavín (which peaked at 1200 BCE, nearly 2000 years before the Incas). The religious tapestry of the Andes was very complex indeed.
ANYWAY, when the Spanish came and conquered the Incas, Catholic missionaries found an interpretation of the Viracocha/Inti relationship very compelling; that Inti was the son of Viracocha. The similarities of Jesus and God The Father isn't hard to see here, especially when, apparently, Viracocha was often depicted as a bearded old man, and Inti was, of course, associated to the light of the Sun. I do not remember, however, which Incan deity if any, was sincretized with the Holy Spirit in this interpretation.
I am an not entirely sure if this interpretation lasted. To describe the many beliefs of the Andes in modern times would be an incredible task; I am sure some people do believe this, as many don't, and others have it as an associated belief with Catholicism.
However, one interpretation, in my personal experience, did last: the association of Pachamama, Mother Earth, with the Virgin Mary. All over the Andes, many people consider them one and them same (again, many other people don't) and see no contradiction in paying homage to the two of them.
Inti is still celebrated in the Inti Raymi, a festival based on the ancient Incan ones, for cultural reasons, and it's a major tourist attraction. It is officially called a theatrical representation; there is no literal Sapa Inca and Incan high priests taking part of it, of course. Then... one could say that most people who participate on it don't literally worship Inti...
But one has to wonder, however; what's really the difference between a revived festival celebrated every year in the name of a God and actual worship, especially with the syncretism already present in Andean culture? It is certainly not my place to say; but it's worth thinking about, and I would love to talk to those who participate.
As for Viracocha, I know for a fact that people still pray to him in Bolivia and Perú, especially in traditional festivals. Unfortunately I have little information about it, but for sure someone has written about it.
Disclaimer: most of this is based in books and sources I've read long ago, so surely there are many mistakes. I am neither Bolivian or Peruvian nor I was raised in Andean culture; my interest on it is from an outsider's perspective.
