Deuteronomy 32:18 and Job 38:29-30 paired with St Hildegard's vision of the universe as a Cosmic Egg (and, let's be real here, Cosmic Yoni).

‘COSMIC EGG’

BRAHMANDA

INDIA, 19TH CENTURY

The enigmatic story of Pangu, the mythical giant and first supreme being and creator of the universe, reveals how Pangu cracked the cosmic egg, shaping the heavens and the Earth as we know them today. From the balancing of Yin and Yang to the assistance of mythical beasts as the dragon and phoenix, Pangu's myth offers endless wonders to explore.

Female myths, mysteries, rituals, and empowerment inspire my art as well as thinking a great deal. A timeless and empowered femininity as natural cycles and seasons touch the collective psyche. I'd say that "The White Goddess", by Robert Graves, or "Women's Mysteries" by Esther Harding, are two of the influences for this artwork, an impression of ancient Minoan Mysteries or those of holy Samothrace. Please support original art.

The Orphic Egg, acrylic on canvas

"Ineffable, hidden, brilliant scion, whose motion is whirring, you scattered the dark mist that lay before your eyes and, flapping your wings, you whirled about, and through this world you brought pure light."

-- The Orphic Hymns 5, To Protogonos

I finally found a better photo of the tattoo on Alex’s left inner elbow. It does appear to be be Futhark! Some version of Hagalaz specifically. Every day I want to pick this man’s brain more and more. Seriously if I could have just 30 minutes, I’d even buy him coffee, I would be the happiest ever!

While poking around, one of the websites mentioned Hagalaz being connected to the cosmic ice egg and, friends, I nearly screamed. I’m frequently on a tear about Jack being the cosmic Orphic egg and the coincidence has melted my brain.

(excerpt from First Chaos series, 2012)

Hildegard the theologian compared God to a Cosmic Egg that surges flames into the universe, emptying and filling itself like a womb—creative, beneficial, and nurturing to all life within. She spoke of this sacred feminine as Divine Love, the essence of the universe—the highest fiery power that shines in water, burns in the sun, moon, and stars, stirring everything into existence, and causing all life to glisten with this light.

Uhhhh the stoned thought of letting an artist murder me and make art with my corpse in return for the publishment of my most heavily martyry poetry. Becoming an icon and probably a cult while never being around to see any of it (unless that is, indeed, how one goes about becoming a god)…

Tumblr is the only site that could possibly understand this

Luz and her egg palisman gave me strong flashbacks. I was 20 and homeless. On the brink of death and just waiting to launch myself off. I got pregnant. Who or how is irrelevant. I knew I loved that child. I still mourn the loss. I don't regret for a second having lost it. Nurturing life has a way of muting the voices and shocking you into reality. It's as if everything stops and everything before you is bleak, endless, and cold. That I am dragging myself in the dirt and how can I bring life into a future such as this one? I am a child.

I felt it when she told her palisman that she loved it already. I remember telling that to the life growing inside me. Even though I knew whatever happens next was just as uncertain as whatever they'd become. That weight is so heavy. Anyway, sorry. This probably doesn't make sense.
