Lord Eros: god of love and desire

[Soror Adriana @SororAdriana]

Motherhood is holy. Fatherhood is holy. The act of creation is a sacrament.

Let these things be no more the matter of lewd jest and shocked prudery.

Let love be a religion, with every man a king and priest, and every woman a crowned priestess, unto God.

Entre los manuscritos de Tolkien se conserva una carta del rey Aragorn a Sam. Es la obra más extensa que se conoce tanto de prosa sindarin como de escritura tengwar. Formaba parte del epílogo original de El Señor de los Anillos pero fue descartada en la edición publicada.

"Those who desire to unlock the secrets of the circle and to square nature
Should follow this faithful guide presented here.
From fire and water, friends, comes the sun and the moon.
Water comes from fire, and from air springs the earth.
The circle in its trinity will become squared.
When you have mastered the balancing of opposites, both above and below, you will see all and understand all.
These teachings, once hidden, will be revealed to the wise through alchemical means, and the circle, which seemed insurmountable, will appear as a straightforward path."

“Seven Keys of Honoratus Marinier”, c. 1785, MS. Wellcome 3442

Dicen que Dios da sus peores batallas a sus mejores guerreros. Es una llamada a la resiliencia, una invitación a soportar los golpes de la vida y seguir adelante. Una arenga a mantener el espíritu de lucha que ya encontramos en el mundo antiguo. Homero en la Ilíada nos dice:

Jacques Tourneur on how he got Val Lewton to agree to make 'I Walked with a Zombie' (1943) & the reason why he likes it more than 'Cat People' (1942):

"One day I said to Val Lewton: ‘I have an idea. We are going to take Jane Eyre and we're going to do a remake of it without telling anyone, simply by radically changing the setting’. And that is how 'I Walked with a Zombie' came about.

In fact, it is Jane Eyre. In order to give it a different tone, I decided to use the black singer, Sir Lancelot, as a sort of Ancient Greek Chorus commenting on the action. In my opinion, that film is more profound than 'Cat People' (1942), it is less childish."

(Jacques Tourneur's interview with Bertrand Tavernier, 1971)

P.S: On this day, 83 years ago, 'I Walked with a Zombie' (1943) premiered in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

in medieval occultism each planet is associated with a secret science. The Moon is connected with the powers of the soul and dreams

For example, using lunar secrets one could probe the dreams of another or influence them, or heal through touch known today as “laying of hands”

Dostoevsky's Grand Inquisitor on the miracle of the formulation of the three temptations of Jesus:

“If ever there had been on earth an authentic and resounding miracle, it occurred the day of the three temptations. The very formulation of these three questions constitutes a miracle. Let us suppose that they had disappeared from the Scriptures, that it had been necessary to compose them, to imagine them anew in order to replace them here, and that one had gathered for this all the sages of the earth, persons of state, prelates, scholars, philosophers, poets, saying to them: imagine and compose three questions which not only correspond to the importance of that event, but express in three sentences all the history of future humanity — dost thou believe that this summit gathering of human wisdom could imagine anything as strong and profound as the three questions put to thee by the Powerful Spirit? These three questions prove, all by themselves, that one has met here the eternal and absolute Spirit and not a transitory human mind. For they summarize and predict simultaneously all the later history of humanity. These are the three forms in which all the insoluble contradictions of human nature are crystallized. One could not understand it then, for the future was veiled, but now, after fifteen centuries have elapsed, we see that everything has been foreseen in these three questions and had been realized to the point that it is impossible to add anything to them or to remove a single word from them.”

BLACK MAGIC RITES (1973) Renato Polselli

Per the Italian board of censors: “the movie consists of a rambling series of sadistic sequences meant to urge through extreme cruelty mixed with degenerate eroticism the lowest sexual instincts.” 10/10 no notes.
