"In the beginning, it is always dark"



Almost every creation myth begins by telling us that before the Universe was created, there was only a Sea of Dark Infinite Space and Directionless Chaos. It was out of this primordial abyss that the Universe was created. The Father of Life (Chaos) impregnated the Great Mother (Dark Infinite Space) and she gave birth to the entire Universe! (There was a Big Bang and then there was Light!) The Primordial Creative Energies of the Universe are often depicted as a pair of serpents, one male and one female. The sparks of creation were started by the friction between the two opposites.

Mother/Father...Yin/Yang...Yab/Yum...Shiva/Shakti...the Divine Lovers...Sparks fly igniting the Flames of Creation. This is the ecstatic passion which unites them eternally...the Fire of Love! Love is the quintessence of the Universe, the secret Power of Creation.



"Invoke me under my stars! Love is the Law, Love under Will. Nor let the fools mistake Love; for there are Love and love. There is the Dove, and there is the Serpent. Choose ye well! He, my prophet, hath chosen, knowing the law of the fortress, and the great mystery of the House of God." Liber al vel Legis 1:57

The Return of Quetzalcoatl



Jean Paul Gaultier journeyed far from his home in Paris to visit Mexico a while back. He stated he didn't fully appreciate the richness of Mexican culture while he was there because it wasn't what he was looking for at the time. It didn't all sink in until he started working on his Spring Summer 2010 Haute Couture Collection. He said he can't wait to go back! Something must have happened when he visited the Teotihuacan pyramids, 'cause this collection screams Quetzalcoatl! Make sure to check out the rest of this collection featuring giant sombreros, conquistador armour, Spanish bull fighters, Aztec influenced hair sculpture, Mayan goddesses, and flamenco!

Gem Elliott

Holy Moly! I'm pretty sure Gem Elliott is a dream voyeur because my mind is overflowing with these kinds images as of late! All that's missing is Quetzalcoatl and the Teotihuacan pyramids! There is some serious Collective Unconscious activity going on these days...I'm learning new secrets.

Massive Attack

The new Massive Attack album "Heligoland" will be released February 8th!!! The album features some amazing guest vocalist like Tunde Adebimpe (of TV on the Radio) and Hope Sandoval (of Mazzy Star)! I love this track featuring Martina Topley Bird (of Tricky). I just listened to this song like 33 times...



Into the sky for your eagle eye
The Sun seeds a sickle and a scythe

Jim Skull



Parisian artist, Jim Skull sites his inspirations as Amerindian and Oceanian cult objects, European ex-votos, relics and Cabinets of Curiosities. But his recent body of work, the skulls reference well known cultural figures like Timothy Leary, an icon of 1960s psychedelic counterculture (shown below!)

"Like every great religion of the past we seek to find the divinity within and to express this revelation in a life of glorification and the worship of God. These ancient goals we define in the metaphor of the present - turn on, tune in, drop out." ~ Timothy Leary
