The Ladder of Divine Ascent.
Late 12th century, Byzantine icon.
Tempera on wood.
This detail illustrates the spiritual struggle of monks ascending the 30-step ladder toward Christ.
While angels pray and the first monk, John Climacus; though Climacus himself based his work strictly on the 30 years of Jesus's life before his public ministry, is welcomed by God.
Black winged demons assault the climbers with ropes and arrows. Those who succumb to temptation fall into the gaping mouth of Hades.
Location: St. Catherine's Monastery, Sinai, Egypt.
@Neccccy The amount of bot accounts posting the same crap is unreal.
You'd think that there was a glitch in the system where it's a copy and paste algorithm.
The Fig releases a chemical pheromone to attract the wasp.
The wasp sheds it's wings as it burrows into the flower.
There's a bit of incest going on as the larvae mate, the females then leave the flower with dead Mother and male siblings inside to decompose as the fig releases an enzyme to break down the carcasses to ripen the flower into a fruit.
It's fair to say that the Fig is a carnivorous plant that tastes yummy.
In Old English, Wednesday was called “Wōdnesdæg” – the day of Wodan (the Germanic name for Odin), the Allfather of Norse mythology.
Odin is the one-eyed wanderer, the god of wisdom, war, poetry, and magic. He sacrificed an eye at Mímir’s well for knowledge, hung from Yggdrasil for nine days to discover the runes, and rides the eight-legged horse Sleipnir across the Nine Realms.
He seeks knowledge relentlessly, collects fallen warriors in Valhalla for Ragnarök, and even has two ravens, Huginn (Thought) and Muninn (Memory), who fly across Midgard every day to bring him news of the world.
So next time you say “Happy Wednesday,” you’re actually honoring the Allfather!
