Coming back around to the “I’m changing my ways” but like...actually taking action on em

Even empty bottles once held ballads.

“In the 1930′s, Carl Jung became interested in the ancient art of alchemy. While alchemy’s outward agenda was transmuting base metal into gold, Jung thought the alchemists’ work was also a projection of inner workings reflecting a process of maturation and development within the human psyche. Mermaids appear in alchemical texts and engravings as guides leading the alchemist on his way. An engraving in one alchemical text shows two mermaids leading the alchemist. One leads him in the direction of the baby; the other leads him to the city of God. In alchemy, the mermaid is a guide to the nature of the human mind, representing both what is human and what is animal and the necessity of reconciling the two into a coherent and lasting whole. The main difference the alchemists and others is that the alchemists saw, believed in, and followed their mermaids - even when they led in two different directions. One alchemical text contains this motto: “Let nature be your guide; follow her with your art willingly, like a footman, For you will err if she is not your companion on your way.” Jung’s wife, Emma, wrote that as a symbol the mermaid wants to ‘entangle’ us in “real relationships.” She drags a man underwater not always to drown him, but sometimes to bathe him in the waters of life.

Mermaids are symbols - and who knows, maybe actual beings - that have been with us throughout history, reminding us of our relationship to the objective world, the rhythms of nature, the sound of water crashing on a beach, the way light moves across the surface of a wide bay, and the corresponding ripples of feeling they create within us.” ~Theodore Gachot from “Mermaids: Nymphs of the Sea”

So, Magic Meat Week is rolling around again, and this time I’m going to aim to have one boy for each day.

for those who don’t know, Magic Meat Week is when artists draw male characters in the skimpy clothing and poses usually worn by women in the media (film, tv, video games, etc). It’s done in order to highlight the ridiculous double standards that we have when portraying men and women.

admitedly, this has less impact if all you draw is men in skimpy clothes and sexy poses ;)

so first off, everyone’s favourite S&M Slime boy, Toxic, playing the role of necromancer :D

“Truth” by George William Russell from “Collected Poems”, 1913

The hero first thought it To him ’twas a deed: To those who retaught it, A chain on their speed.

The fire that we kindled,          A beacon by night, When darkness has dwindled Grows pale in the light.

For life has no glory Stays long in one dwelling,          And time has no story That’s true twice in telling.

And only the teaching That never was spoken Is worthy thy reaching,          The fountain unbroken.
