No ending …

another beginning
Hour 7: Another Beginning
Hour 6 – Inari
Inari, Opium and a Halo of Flies
Image created in past hour (as per ritual) from a series of photos I took in Japan over a number of years merged with image I made of opium smoker
Hour 5: 9:23 p.m
Red wine dulling pain …
flogger draped
over desk
Uncanny
dark night libidinal –
(standing beneath
Burroughs
23
minutes hangin’ over my head)
must continue, resolutely
walking
through the shadows of gregariousness
A moment’s rest –
turn to hear a little wing flutter by
Hour 4 – Dark Lovers
The angel-child Cupid was lost – so only dark lovers surfaced
Hour 3: Raven’s Inflection
Tears of the sun
Hour 2: Red House
Hour 1: Cronus Devouring His Son
Thanateros: Hour 0
Winter Solstice Ritual: Thanateros
The winter solstice in the northern hemisphere was at 5:02 a.m. (EST) on Monday, December 21, 2020.
The rare Saturn-Jupiter “Great Conjunction” is visible for North America an hour after sunset in the west-southwest sky (local cloud-cover permitting).
This marks the official astrological shift from a 200-year period during which Jupiter and Saturn made conjunctions primarily in Earth signs into a 200-year period of conjunctions in Air signs, marking the advent of a new epoch in a larger 800-year macro-cycle.
Air signs are said to intensify the emergent properties of the intellectual, the immaterial and the ideological.
Public Dimension of Ritual:
The Sumerian for “air” is “lil” (hence the demon Lilith in Isaiah, 34:14) and similarly, the demoness queen Agrat bat Mahlat from the Yalḳuṭ Ḥadas, the roof-dancer who rides the air in her chariot, while her mother Lilith howls. In the Zohar this queen is an angel of sacred prostitution who mates with the Archangel Samael (as does Lilith, Namaah and some say a fourth).
Each hour from sunset until midnight I will post a new image to this website:
