When your God falls, ours will still remain. And we'll be drunk on liquor brewed from the ashes of your sacred institutions.

Kathartes is art through sound. A serum for toxic culture; it is an antibody response to the plauge of this rotting superstructure. It is venom for the holy, and a narcotic for the profane. It is only through delving into death, that we learn the cycles of life. It is only through frayed perceptions, that we are granted the sight of authenticity.

Montsegur - June 21 - 2008

Un cavaliers si jazia ab la re que plus volia. Soven baizan li dizia: - „Doussa res, ieu que farai ? "
( A knight was lying with the one he loved and as he kissed her he said: - "sweet creature, what shall I do ?" )

Solstice Dawn - Montsegur - 2008

Quel jorns ve e la nuettz vai, ay !“ Qu’ieu aug que li gaita cria, “Via ! Sus ! ”
( For the day comes and the night goes, oh ! And the watch is crying "Away ! Up !" )

View to a dream...

"Qu’ieu vey lo jorn venir après l’alba.”
( For I see the day coming after the dawn... )

Solstice light

May the blessings of the White Lady of Montsegur and the sons and daughters of Belisenna be upon you. Always - R x

Ha ha, you should just buy your absinthe at the liquor store and then just tell the ladies it was smuggled in anyway!:)

happy belated summer solstice to you too. sorry i haven't kept in touch. i've been insanely busy, and my life has been undergoing alot of change. i finally got a steady design job, which is good i guess, although leaves me alot less free time.
i've been neglecting my other art, which i really need to get back to now that i have some semblance of a routine in my life, lol! how are things with you?

Hello John,

all this is half so bad .... only lost from the eyes but, not from the meaning!
Please me!
Kind greetings,
Antje

"On The Witching Hill At Midsummer"

The path was steep but stepped for ease, as we mounted the flank of ‘The Whale’.
Our mission was to test the truth, of another old Pendle tale.
For Pendle hill is a mound of myths, and fantasys and dreams,
Where witches ride, and ghosts abide, and a wind whipped Bean Sidhe screams.
With noble and forbidding brow, and broad of back and shoulder,
The ancient altar hill was shaped by mighty ‘frost giant’ moulder.
Looming up from England’s heart, as if it heaves with pride
The ‘Old Man’ glowers sternly oe’r the pastured riverside.
We pegged our sheet on the plateau, with the sky still full of light
And waited on the magic hill to greet the Gods of night.

A massive Moon swept the southern sky, like honey in a jar.
A groaning glow, that challenged, the light of the evening star.
The Sun slid into the western sea, throwing up colours and shade;
Amber, gold and cobalt blue; coral and beige and jade.
Then as the arc celestial dimmed, to navy blue, from grey
The marchers of the heavens came to boldly stride their way.
Mirfak elbows clear a path for Perseus to steer.
She goat, Capella’s glistening bleat heralds the Charioteer.
A bright eye gleams on Lyra’s harp; Vega , the eagle of stone.
Cassiopeia, still vain in her chain, spins on her captive throne. ...

The beginning of summer, fairest season;
Noisy are the birds, green the woods,
The ploughs are in the furrow, the ox at work,
Green the sea, the lands are many-coloured.
