“Dancing with the Devil: Why Bad Feelings Make Life Good” by Krista K. Thomason

Magick Matters

🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "Just as a garden needs worms, we need bad feelings.... We tend to think about bad feelings—feelings like anger, envy, spite, and contempt—as the weeds in life's garden. You may not be able to get rid of them completely, but you're supposed to battle them as best you can. The best garden is one with no weeds. The best life is one with no bad feelings. But this isn't quite right, according to philosopher Krista K. Thomason. Bad feelings are the worms, not the weeds. They're just below the surface, and we like to pretend they aren't there, but they serve an important purpose. Worms are just as much a part of the garden...>>

“Receptions of Simon Magus as an Archetype of the Heretic” by Alberto Ferreiro and Ephraim Nissan

Magick Matters

🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "This book about receptions of Simon Magus uncovers further facets of one who was held to be the evil archetype of heretics. Ephraim Nissan and Alberto Ferreiro explore how Simon Magus has been represented in text, visual art, and music. Special attention is devoted to the late medieval Catalan painter Lluís Borrassà and the Italian librettist and musician Arrigo Boito. The tradition of Simon Magus’ demonic flight, ending in his crashing down, first appears in the patristic literature. The book situates that flight typologically across cultures. Fascinating observations emerge, as the discussion spans flight of the wicked in rabbinic texts, flight and death of King Lear’s father and a Soviet-era Buryat Buddhist monk,...>>

The Cathedral reverberates with mysteries far older than the Cathedral itself—mysteries reflecting the ageless action of Earth and Cosmos on mankind, spanning the eons from ancient Egyptian and Druid civilizations down to the present."...>>
