Jewel in the Skull...

Stiff Opposition Coat of Arms...

Zemblan Emblematic Heraldic Beasts. Did I ever mention '4 black suns and a sinister rainbow' is a described heraldic device in Game of Thrones? (future post about GoT and how it's a warm genetics house, accurately describes a world where magick is 'real' . See also 'Powr Mastrs' (how I long for transformation night)) Anyhow we love a little heraldry, a bit of a show, and the kirin has aquired a very special friend to dance with, in some terrible, awe-filled symmetry, and yes, even the toad seems to be high-kicking for joy...

Leonora...

A wonderful exhibition at the Tate Liverpool included amongst many visceral thrills and swoons and ferrets, the above, 'the magical world of the Mayas', a large work where the eye can roam and rove, and you can lose yourself in the details (the best immersive trip into a painted world of perfect beauty and awe we've had since Jupiter and Semele at the Moreau Museum, Paris) and, just to the left of snaky chasm, I found:

My Avatāra...

Our picture: the lens had suffered wine damage, and it was just darkness, so I 'enhanced' (just like blade runner, a tumbler of chivas regal, ice clinking and me talking to the computer) and He appeared.I don't think there's another image of him quite like this...

Dear Diary...

 

I nearly wrote note to self... but I love the Coil song Paranoid Inlay where Geff narrates: "Dear Diary, I must take risks. I must not be afraid of failure. What do I need to give up? Crystalline ladders, shiny things, mirror-balls." And speaking of mirror balls....
