“Dionysus incarnates desire’s excess, madness, and mortal fascination. The women loved and abandoned by Dionysus move toward inevitable death. Dionysus is an absent god, who tires easily of his lovers, forgets and abandons them, after having possessed them, at times with deceit and violence. The seduction of Dionysus echoes madness and death because it constitutes an initiatory threshold for the soul. Being open to desire and pleasure implies the death of a virginal consciousness that knows no contact or relationship with the other. The seduction of Dionysus should be seen in this context of merging. By abandoning his lovers, the god obliges them to free themselves from a fusional embrace, to return to themselves – something they do not always succeed in doing. Dionysus rules over the threshold of love passion, marking its confines with the madness of unbounded desire, such as that to which the maenads abandon themselves. The orgiastic fury that possesses the Bacchantes in the retinue of the god leads, for example, to Agave tearing Pentheus to pieces, in punishment for having refused to honor the god.”

“Listen to the flutes playing,
listen to the sitar strum.
Listen to the melody of the lyre,
pay attention to the beat of the drum. Watch the procession as it moves
out through those solemn gates,
past statues standing tall,
marking places of goddess’ grace. Priest lead the marching group,
and dancers with their colors swirl,
as the golden idol is carried out
and cheers all around resound. This marks the glorious occasion,
a time of feasting and of festivals,
in a land far away, bathed in sun-
the land of Ancient Egypt.”— Myriah I. Starrs, “Flutes and Marching- November 10, 2018″, Read More (via myriah-iceillia-starrs)
ÆON by Øystein Sture Aspelund
The series “ÆON” is a collection of temporary installations of smoke, light & fire, set in unspoilt Nordic landscapes. Thematically, the series is examining our relationship with the landscape and natural habitat. It is focusing on how we, as humans, interact with our natural spaces and environments. Raising awareness and presence, the series is aiming to create a symbiosis with the installations and its surroundings, while at the same time reflecting on the so-called Anthropocene epoch we live in today.
Acts 4:32-35
“32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their property was their own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy persons among them. Those who owned land or property sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.”
James 5:1-6
“1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you! 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.”
Matthew 19:24
“Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter Paradise.“
Oh Shit
Confirmed, Jesus was a commie.
Better dead than red
Yeah they tried that with Jesus, and then he came back three days later.
I love Jesus. I love Jesus the outlaw. Jesus the communist. Jesus the poor. Jesus the homeless. Jesus the non-white vagabond.
I don’t care for the Jesus of the church. The Jesus made up to justify authority and control the masses. White settler Jesus. Not interested
Jesus was red, pass it on.
Jesus was a socialistic anarcist with communist teachings.
Oh Lou. It was the best trick you ever pulled, letting them believe you were the son of YHVH.

Attention All Tumblr Witches, Magicians, Occultists, et al
This is Hans Vestberg, CEO of Verizon, and the man
ultimately responsible for destroying this website. It may not have been his
decision, but corporations being the top-down authoritarian institutions that
they are, he gets to say yes or no to any policy. This is the man responsible
for taking away your joy and the happiness of thousands of others. As the CEO
of Verizon he is also responsible for various schemes to end new neutrality and
fuck over poor people in general. He’s a horrible human being who puts profits
over people.Let’s curse his ass.
Specifically, let’s curse his dick. Seems appropriate since
he’s taking away other people’s outlet for sexual gratification.On the night of December 16th (midnight on the 17th
in your time zone), since we won’t be hanging out on tumblr, we will be
performing a mass curse/binding on Mr. Vestberg’s ability to feel love and
sexual release.Feel free to come up with your own ritual according to your
own practice. Share your plans on tumblr, and let others know how to get it
done. Maybe add a curse jar, or burn his picture. Put all your mojo into it.Your incantation may look something like this:
In the name of
Babalon, Great Harlot and Mother of Abominations, I curse you, Hans Vestberg.May your penis remain flaccid.
May you be stripped of
all joy.May those you adore
turn from you in disgust.May all lips you kiss
taste of ashes.May your love wither
away and go cold.May you never find
release from your frustrations.I beseech all spirits
who call me friend and ally to curse Hans Vestberg. I call all spirits at my
command to destroy his potency and take away his joy.What you have done to
many, Hans Vestberg, may that return unto you.Re-blog this! Post it everywhere! Share it with your uncle
that works in the media. Let’s get this fucker.
I will be reblogging this twice a day until it picks up steam.
