In this Religion of the Mind there is no opposition of the heart and head. It is not a cult of intellect alone, it is not a cult of emotion alone; it is the Path of Devotion and Gnosis inseparably united, the true Sacred Marriage of Soul and Mind, of Life and Light, the ineffable union of God the Mother and God the Father in the Divine Man, the Logos, the Alone-Begotten of the Mystery of Mysteries, the All and One–Ineffability and Effability eternally in simultaneous Act and Passion.
"And the lords of the earth will withdraw themselves. And they will establish themselves in a city that is in a corner of Egypt and that will be built toward the setting of the sun. Every man will go into it, whether they come on the sea or on the shore." ~ Hermes Trismegistus - Asclepius
Sergeant Howie: Your lordship seems strangely… unconcerned.
Lord Summerisle: Well I’m confident your suspicions are wrong, Sergeant. We don’t commit murder here. We’re a deeply religious people.
Sergeant Howie: Religious? With ruined churches, no ministers, no priests… and children dancing naked!
Lord Summerisle: They do love their divinity lessons.
Sergeant Howie: [outraged] But they are… a-are NAKED!
Lord Summerisle: Naturally! It’s much too dangerous to jump through fire with their clothes on!

And on that bed there was a girl
And on that girl there was a man
And from that man there was a seed
And from that seed there was a boy
And from that boy there was a man
And for that man there was a grave
From that grave there grew
A tree
In the Summerisle,
(from The Wicker Man.. the REAL one, 1973)
A Very Blessed Beltaine to All!
Something I put together. I wouldn’t mind getting an alternate owl. One that requires no attribution. – wikipedia states that it is free to use as long as attribution is given.. WHERE would I put that? Anyhow, these images came from the Heraldry entries in Wikipedia, however I compiled it all together myself. I hope it’s somewhat original.
This is for my persona in the EMP Dunlaith ingen Aed -and actually the ‘real’ me also.
I became water
and saw myself
a mirage
became an ocean
saw myself a speck
of foam
gained Awareness
saw that all is but
forgetfulness
woke up
and found myself
asleep.

23 years ago today I held my first child in my arms. I can’t believe how many years have passed already. He’s such a fantastic son
