Forbidden circle

“I’m gona draw the circle from FMA! It’ll be easy! I can get it done in half an hour and go to bed!” Ha! This bitch took me TWO HOURS. If you’re an artist, and a fan of FMA, if you don’t like masochism, don’t draw this circle. I’m glad I did it, it turned out great, but FUCK. I tried to use the tools in procreate to get it mathematically correct, but it just would not connect, so I wound up doing it by eye. If you do plan to draw it, don’t get to analytical about it, or you will spend two hours on it… like me! Either way, it’s done, it’s here now, enjoy!

This was drawn on my iPad on 5/26/24

Did I mention it took 2 hours?

In western mythos, we are mostly familiar when a feminine moon and masculine Sun. In certain traditions around the world, especially in folklore concerning solar eclipses, the sun is instead feminine and the moon is masculine:

In Norse mythology, the solar goddess Sol and lunar god Mani are sister and brother.

In Tahitian myth, the Sun goddess and mother of rice, Padi, and the dark moon (each moon phase has varying names) are lovers who are said to be getting ‘lost in the moment’ when they create a solar eclipse.

Inuit lore has told of the Sun goddess Malina being chased across the sky by her brother, the moon god Igaluk. Occasionally he catches up with her for a brief reunion and everything goes dark.

In the indigenous Euahlayi stories from Australia, the Sun is a woman, Yhi, and the moon as a man, Bahloo. Yhi falls in love with Bahloo and chases him across the sky. Yhi tells the spirits that hold up the sky that if they let Bahloo escape then she will plunge the world into darkness. So during a total solar eclipse, medicine men traditionally chant to connect with the spirits of the sky to allow the moon, Bahloo, to continue to enchant and Yhi in this celestial chase.

I made this illustration adapted from my tattoo flash for Magic PJ’s PMU & Tattoo to share this with you.

“Alchemical symbolism is a lovely metaphysics, a gracious and beautiful approach to one of the great problems of daily existence. Every individual in his own personal life can be an alchemist, a worker with the divine chemistries of living… Alchemy is actually a dedicated effort to find out where we come from, why we are here, and where we are going. It is a way of applying all that we know to all the problems that we must solve. Step by step, we become more knowing, more useful, and more helpful, becoming better citizens here and, whether we realize it or not, better citizens of Eternity."

–Manly Palmer Hall (March 18,1901-August 29, 1990)

The Philosophers of Fire

One of the central concepts in alchemy was the idea of the four elements: earth, air, water, and fire, which were believed to be the basic constituents of all matter. Among the alchemists, there were those who specialized in the element of fire, and they were known as the philosophers of fire. These alchemists believed that fire was the primary agent of change and transformation, and that it had…
