You

Were definitely worth waiting for.

Sometimes, on my happiest of days, I stay up as long as I am able, just so I can hold on to that feeling of Joy.

bythegods: Banshee “Banshee” is the modern name for the bean sidhe, or “woman of the fairies,” the traditional fairy of the Irish countryside. Perhaps you recall some of the Tuatha De Danann we’ve discussed in the past? Well, after the arrival of the Milesians (the ancestors of the present-day Irish) from what is now Spain, the gods and goddesses that comprised the Tuatha De Danann disappeared underground to dwell in mounds.  In the centuries that followed, the old gods were slowly transformed into fairies. As a Christian presence infringed and absorbed Ireland’s pagan past, the old gods of the Celts became folk legend and fairies in the woods and hidden nooks of the land. Banshees were the lady spirits that haunted the woods, and it was believed that the wail of a banshee foretold the approach of a human death. The land itself, riddled with the markers and ancient customs of Celtic mythology, still attributed great power and mystery to the spirits of the old religion.

mesorith: surrealism: The Vertigo of Eros by Roberto Matta, 1944. Oil on canvas, 6.5’ x 8.3’. The Museum of Modern Art. from MOMA: In the late 1930s and early 1940s Matta had produced works he called “inscapes,” imaginary landscapes that he imagined as projections of psychological states. The Vertigo of Eros evokes an infinite space that suggests both the depths of the psyche and the vastness of the universe. I love when I find things that talk of the exact same things going on in my head so far out here.
