Territorial Viewpoint

I captured these images the Day of ritual conclusion of this Summer , now past.,
or passed,
Time gone bye, Grateful for what I have been given, Thankful for what I have. Missing what is gone.

The Trees in the foreground are on the Property I Privately own,a legal possession of  Mine for now.
The apparent apparition in the lower left is an armature for a sculptural lawn ornament placed in what remains of what was,      
“ A Gesture of Defiance” composed of local scrap, erected on twisted rebar, a monumental hand ,  now stands in My backyard.
A prominent pointer and profound play with placement , potential, possibility,permanence and presence of peaceful protest .
A persistent display of objection,  that went up on My side of the old stone wall ,after the trees came down on the other.
Borderline behavior
Communicating without words,  what cannot politely be said, Spiritual sign language, sensitivity short hand, made very large.
I need to secure the fore arm and base before applying a  Home made silt and straw stucco skin of local clay and grass this coming Spring.
I’m hoping to balance the hand at the wrist so it wobbles in the wind. .
an unambiguous message ,enduring expression of feeling, movement from the other side.
view point for the few with the special  view    
from a rustic ritualist conjuring the reaction ,response to violation,and wrong doing with Art and attention,humor over hostility,
Whose consideration should not be overlooked,
who’s place should not be looked down on.
Metaphysical meets Magical Metaphorical Miasma of the Moment.          Making
Here                                                                               Spirits of Place
Habitat is a combination of Living, and Non-Living things that make up a Home,
and the places between them

Vintage Neo-Pagan, Meta- Mystical Magical Morphology of a reformed retro–Druid

Adaptive Aquarian Antiquarianism

The Ancients glorified violence, practiced Human Sacrifice, ritualized Killing,

Holy Bloodshed!     to make a point, to send a powerful message.

The original Paleo-Pagan Druids seem to have worked the gory spectacle as the deal making component of their relationship - understanding agreement.

Much has been made of the Guest – Host – Ghost , relationship connection without acknowledging the function of the Hostage as traditional  guarantee, or assurance.

Treaty , religious contract, something precious turned over to bind the agreement.

The Hostel and Hospital are words with the same root in hospitality and the  need for Shelter.

Most of the Mythic narrative is expressed as conflict and War.

Indo-European culture views contest and competition as Sacred.

The Arena,    The fight for the space .,  The Field of Battle,

bloody ownership, Slaughter and dismemberment, Food distribution,

the price of winning, zones of control, seating at the feast, and the hero’s portion.

Appeals for Victory .

Out comes and Glory

Cruel ,brutal and savage

No Blood Sacrifice!

More than reclaiming, or reinventing the “Old Ways”

Neo- Paganism is about being a new form of religion.

Fear and Horror, Violence and Force have no place of honor in our practice.

There need be no shaming or shunning, hurt or terror, threat or punishment involved in our spiritual beliefs and practices.

.We do not exist to confront Spiritual hostility and aggression with like.

We avoid contributing to cycles of violence and cruelty.

No Human abuse!

Avoid harboring bad blood, vengeance, pay back,.Open your Heart

We are Free to Love and live as we chose ,clear of hate

Holy War Religions that promote Hate and intolerance , domination and damnation,victimization,martyrdom , enslavement are nothing new.

Old bad habits we can be liberated from, there is no need to perpetuate violence, marginalize and persecute as part of a Holy plan, 

There is no end of days polarization of our friend or foe, no final battle we have to fight.

Defensive or Offensive Magic is a manipulation that needs opposition for balance.

The Imagined Enemy, perceived                                or        The real threat .

Illusion, distraction,disappearing,cutting a Lady in half, pull a rabbit from a hat.

                                  Keep the Act clean.

No Scape Goats!                                     No Lynch Mobs!

                                    Lives are on the Line.

Remember,

We are Lucky to be here, We Love Our Luck, We are thankful for Our Blessings!

Spirit, Sanctuary,Sensitivity,Sacred,Secret,Safety,Soul, Story

Odd origins and strange sustenance.

This painting of mine, illustrates a baby God Zeus nursed by a non- God  nanny goat Nymph .

A child of Mother Earth, hidden away in a cave from His Father Time, who wants to devour  all of his offspring.

He saves his siblings, sacrificing his sheltering source savior and security, It’s Hide the protective cloak , The Aegis, It’s Horn, in some stories The Cornucopia,  Horn of Plenty.

The Distributer of Blessing.

Authentic Paleo-Pagan Myth – some may think it a story,a part of some Greek imaginative fantasy!  or another thing on Wikipedia

I don’t think so,     some things are so intensely weird,

You just can’t make this stuff  up.

We know there were Ancient Priesthoods, and I don’t believe Their Temples and practices were pretend.They seem to believe that they were doing things  the right way.

Fear and Food,

Being hungry and frightened is an altered state of awareness.

A different spiritual disposition, ability of our Soul to respond with empathy and care outside of the self.

If Life experience is interrelationships and sensory perception,  then Our Feelings and understandings are rooted in Our Physical condition, Our personal circumstance.

Our Psycho- spiritual director or Moral Compass is not always seated in the rational philosophical Mind of thought and reason. but in a reactive preconscious, predisposition,

a result of the internal  structure of nervous system function and stimuli.

Outside of individual personhood.

Our Soul Flight, or Out of body experience, moving Spirit sense part of a predetermined passage, pattern,pathway process, We are all part of ,

an inheritance ,an instinct.

an intelligence before our own.

an appetite of our ancestors.

Between, before, behind, beyond, begin,beneath

 

Face fears,

Future forms,

Fantastic findings.
