Is a Unicorn a Pagan belief followed by the GOP and How did they find their way to ideologies of American History? Unicorns In world mythology and folklore, a fantastic animal usually portrayed as a small horse like creature with a single horn protruding from its head. In European mythologies the unicorn is usually viewed as a beneficent being. A medieval description of the fantastic animal is found in Le Bestiaire Divin de Guillaume Clerc de Normandie.

The Unicorn has but one horn in the middle of its forehead. It is the only animal that ventures to attack the elephant; and so sharp is the nail of its foot, that with one blow it can rip the belly out of that beast. Hunters can catch the unicorn only by placing a young virgin in his haunts. No sooner does he see the damsel, than he runs towards her, and lies down at her feet, and so suffers himself to be captured by the hunters. The unicorn represents Jesus Christ, who took on Him our nature in the Virgin’s womb. . . . Its one horn signifies the Gospel of Truth.

The European belief in unicorns stems in part from ancient pagan Greek sources as well as the Septuagint versions of the Hebrew scripture. When the Hebrew Bible was translated into Greek, the Hebrew word reem, which might mean a wild ox, was translated monokeros (one-horned). This rendering was followed in later Latin versions of the Bible, which in turn influenced English translations such as the King James Version. The Book of Numbers (23:22) says: “God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.”

The Revised Standard Version of the Bible in its translation of the verse substitutes “wild ox” for unicorn. One medieval Jewish folktale said the unicorn had perished in Noah’s flood because it was too large to enter the ark. Another Jewish folktale argued that God never destroys his own creation; if the unicorn was too large to get into the ark, then God would have let it swim behind the ark.

Along with the unicorn as a beneficent symbol, such as Jesus Christ, the animal was also identified with evil and death. In The Golden Legend, a series of saints’ lives by Jacobus de Voragine written in the 13th century, the “unicorn is the figure of Death, which continually followeth man and desireth to seize him.” Death rides a unicorn in some late medieval Books of Hours. In the Ancrene Riwle, a 12th-century book of rules for nuns, the unicorn appears as a symbol of wrath, along with the lion for pride, the serpent for envy, and the bear for sloth.

The Church Fathers at the Council of Trent, held in the 16th century, forbade the use of the unicorn as a symbol of Christ. One legend they cited was from Leonardo da Vinci’s Bestiary, in which the artist made the unicorn a symbol of lust. The unicorn’s horn was thought to have magic curative powers; many late medieval monasteries and cathedrals were believed to possess them, and they appear in inventories of Queen Elizabeth I and other monarchs of the period. Powders purporting to be made from crushed unicorn horns were sold by apothecaries.

As late as the French Revolution the unicorn was believed to exist, and a “unicorn’s” horn was used to detect poison in food fed to royalty. In Chinese mythology the unicorn was one of the four animals of good omen, the others being the phoenix, the dragon, and the tortoise. According to one story, when Confucius was born, a unicorn spit out a piece of jade with the inscription announcing the event: “Son of the essence of water, kingdoms shall pass away, but you will be a king, though without a throne.” James Thurber, in his Fables for Our Time (1940), includes a comical episode called “The Unicorn in the Garden.”

A hardened sinner is saved from hell thanks to a small remnant of Marian devotion

Pierre Le Gouvello, lord of Kériolet, was a Breton penitent born in Auray on July 14, 1602, who died in the odor of sanctity in 1660. He was ordained a priest on March 28, 1637. He transformed his château into a hospice for the poor.

Born in Auray on July 14, 1602, into a wealthy noble family, Pierre de Keriolet seemed to be in the grip of the devil from childhood. He loved doing evil. His studies with the Jesuits in Rennes didn't help, on the contrary. Always short of money, he stole from those around him.

At the age of twenty, he tried to join the Ottoman Empire to become a Muslim. But obstacles stood in his way, and he never succeeded. He fell victim to brigands while crossing Germany: the only survivor of the attack, he implored Our Lady of Liesse to save him. Granted his wish, he did not keep his promise and, for over fifteen years, led a debauched life, during which he may have signed a pact with the devil. 

In 1635, he returned to France to collect his father's inheritance, and bought a position as councillor at the Parliament of Brittany. He used his power as a magistrate to foster hatred between litigants, taking satisfaction in doing evil.

On several occasions, he escaped death, as if an invisible, all-powerful protection were extending over him. Instead of reflecting on this, he congratulated himself on his exceptional good fortune.

In the hope of being noticed by the young Duke of Orléans, brother of Louis XIII, Pierre de Keriolet accompanied the latter to Loudun in 1636, along with other members of parliament. A case of witchcraft was rocking the town. During an exorcism in the church of the Holy Cross in Loudun, the devil, speaking through the mouth of the possessed woman, publicly called out to Pierre de Keriolet, revealing who had protected him and explaining the reasons for this, citing the miracles of protection from which he had benefited. In closing, the devil made it clear that he was there to take him to hell, shouting, “If it hadn't been for her and your angel, I'd have taken you away!”

The next day, the devil exclaimed on seeing Keriolet again: “Well, here's the gentleman from yesterday again! If he keeps on like this, he'll rise as high in Heaven as he would have sunk with us in Hell. Ah, if you only knew! [...] She put her arms in the mire up to her elbows to pull him out of his filth, just because he still had a tiny bit of devotion left for her! And to think we're ourselves are damned for one sin!!!”

In fact, Keriolet was saved for having, all his life and whatever his faults, kept the promise he had once made to his mother: to say a Hail Mary every day, come what may, in honor of Our Lady. Although he was renowned for his avarice, he always gave generously in alms, even if he claimed it was not for the love of God. But “almsgiving covers the multitude of sins”, in the words of St Gregory the Great.

Keriolet eventually became a priest. He continued to experience demonic attacks for the rest of his life, as hell hates to let go of its prey, but it was all in vain. You can't take from Our Lady what is rightfully hers.

Anne Bernet, Author of over forty books, most of them devoted to sanctity

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hi guys! This post has content warnings for the following: suicide, incest, abortion, politics, and swearing. I've tagged this post for all of the above, so you should add one or all of them to your blocked tags if you don't want to see it. Stay safe friends!

@arists started a conversation with me on this post. I'm making my own post now so that I don't clog up op's notifications with our discussion. I'll post the relevant screenshots here, but I'm including the link so that you can fact check what happened if you want.

#1 (op's post)

Image Description: "A screenshot of a twitter thread. Sarah Chavez writes, 'It's not hard to see what a pro-life world looks like. It looks like a world with a lot of dead women in it." An article is linked, but the url is cut off. Emily Gould replies to the first tweet, saying, '"Amnesty International reports that suicide now accounts for 57 percent of deaths of pregnant femals ages 10-19 in El Salvador." That's what a "culture of life" looks like.'"

#2 (in the notes of op's post)

Image Description: "granny-griffin replies, 'This. Suicide is an evil we have to prevent. But murder is NEVER the answer. I'm not sure how it even became a viable option. We need a better solution.'"

(note that there is a significant time gap between images #2 and #3)

#3

Image Description: "arists replies, '@granny-griffin the only other "solution" is mandatory vasectomies on males but good luck telling men what you want to force onto their bodies. ntm abortion at 6 weeks isn't fucking murder but science doesn't fucking matter to you.' Then granny-griffin replies, '@arists if you want to start a conversation, then I'm happy to talk! you can dm me or whatever! But if you're just angry, then I'm glad you found an outlet and I hope you feel better soon'"

#4

Image Description: "arists replies, '@granny-griffin go start a conversation with the women of texas' Then granny-griffin replies, '@arists I mean. I am a woman living in texas so that should be pretty easy. I'll try to do that sometime soon! It's always helpful to me to hear other people's perspectives on important issues'"

#5

Image Description: "arists replies '@granny-griffin so you're a traitor then? when you see little girls being forced to birth a product of incest you feel better about yourself? you see women who have a dead baby in their body forced to cary to full at the risk of her life and think "nice job me!!" And you've probably never adopted with makes it even funnier. youre an embodiment ignorance and selfishness.'"

#6 (private message between arists and granny-griffin)

Image Description: "granny-griffin says, 'hey I really. don't want to fight you. I know that you're upset. I think we both want to help women in vulnerable situations, we just have different ideas of how that should work out practically.' In a second text, granny-griffin continues, 'If you need to keep venting, you should do it here. That way if you say something you might regret, it won't be in public'"

#7

Image Description: "arists sends three messages. The first one says, 'I'm not venting I'm saying it how it is' The second one says, 'I've dealt with ill-minded christians like you my entire life I know your strategy' The third one says, 'now go back to the post because I refuse to deal with you behind doors so you can appear "holier than thou" by putting on a fake image'"

#8

Image Description: "granny-griffin sends seven messages. The first one says, 'ok we can do this in public' The second one says 'give me until tonight though I've got school' The third one says 'do you care if I make a separate post? I'll copy all the previous stuff from our conversation and the main post' The fourth one says, 'I just don't want to have a whole conversation on op's thread' The fifth one says, 'it would feel disrespectful almost?' The sixth one says, 'like they have their whole point and I don't want to completely de-rail them' The seventh one says, 'but if you aren't cool with moving them then I can come to wherever is comfortable to you'"

#9

Image Description: "arists says, 'go ahead'"

to preface—airsts I'm still not totally sure what you want out of this. You aren't obligated to respond to anything I say—just like I'm not obligated to respond to you. We don't know each other, and this is kind of an unfortunate way for us to meet. Still, I hope we can have a productive conversation going forward. I'll go through everything and ask questions. You can respond to as many or as few of them as you want.

#3:

The only other solution to what—suicide? unwanted pregnancy? incest? Is that really the only other solution? What are some policies you would like to see implemented to deal with each of these?

How do you define murder? How do you define what a human life is? Are there particular scientific facts or theories you make use of in your definition? If you have time, please either explain them, or reference an article/book/other source that does. I would like to learn! But I understand that fact checking is a lot of work so if you're too busy I understand.

#4:

(A note here—my knowledge of the situation is not as thorough as I would like it to be, but from what I know I'm not satisfied with the way abortion restrictions are being implemented in Texas. What are we doing—reporting each other to the secret police or something? Notifying the authorities of a crime is one thing, but why is there a finder's fee? Why are we sueing each other? This kind of thing will only breed corruption and mistrust.)

#5:

Huh, what am I a traitor to? Women? Is there a point of view that is specifically the "pro-women" point of view? Traitor makes this sound like a war—are there sides? are there good and bad guys? Who gets to define all of this?

No, I don't like it when girls are forced to birth a child conceived in incest. What are some ways that this situation could be prevented? Do you think that easy abortion access could ever perpetuate abuse by allowing abusers to get rid of the evidence of their actions? Is providing abortion services to victims of incest worth this risk? (and I mean that as a legitimate question, not a leading question)

(Another note here—I am pretty sure children who die in the womb can still be born naturally (hence the term "still-born"). But again, my knowledge here is limited and my issue with abortion is largely because of the harm it does to the child. If the child is dead already, and abortion is the only way to remove them, then I don't have a problem with this.)

Do you think adoption is the only way to take care of vulnerable children? Did you know that people who adopt sometimes need help raising funds to do so, or need help with babysitting, or need meals made and chores done for them? Did you know that mothers who raise their own children need these things too? Is this an attack on my argument, or an attack on me (ad hominem)?

#7

Sorry to assume you were venting—I should have asked what your purpose was instead of making assumptions.

Okay but do please tell me—what is my strategy? I am curious to hear your psychoanalysis of me and my goals.

Arists, I'm really sorry if I came off as "holier than thou." I'm not a better person than you. I know that I think I'm right—everybody does. But I do want to be open to hearing and learning from your perspective. Even if you don't change my mind, you can increase my empathy, and that's extremely valuable to me.

okay, that’s it! I’ll wait for your response!

What do you mean with "true villain" when talking about charles xavier??

Oh boy here we go  I would like to specify that while I do LOVE Charles as a character, I think that he has done some rather questionable actions and I’m not really convinced about his ideology as a whole? ( And with “not rather convinced” I mean that I would like to punch him in the face )  Since I know that I almost never posted about x men before, i will put more under the cut, so the followers that don’t know what I’m talking about won’t have to read a long post about it! 

So, let’s start! I’ll try to explain myself in the best way possible, but please remind that English is not my first language!  The problem with Charles Xavier is, first of all, that he’s ready to sacrifice pretty much anyone and anything for his purposes, and that he’s willing to be very controlling and manipulative of the people that sorrounds him. Just to make a few examples:  - The whole Vulcan backstory  - He mind controlled Logan into not killing him the first time they encountered, basing, de facto, their entire relationship and later friendship on a lie  - He sends literal children to fight over powered exeperienced enemies?? I shouldn’t even have to say this??  - He was interested in Jean while she was still a minor and she viewed him as a father figure ( not really sure if this is still part of the canon of the comics, but in the first issues of the X Men this was clearly stated )  - Is part of the Illuminati, putting himself on an higher stand than everyone else, convinced that he’s part of the only people on earth that should make decisions for everyone else, trying to control secretely every event - He tried to kill his sister in the womb?? Like, I get it, he “sensed that she was evil” or something but REALLY?? REALLY CHARLES??  - He broke Erik’s mind. True that Magneto had just taken the whole adamantium skeleton out of wolverine, but would a real “hero” respond with a violente telepathic attack?  ( I didn’t went into detail, but now that you have an idea of what to search you can do it! I’m sorry, I would really love to drag Charles more but I can’t make a super long rant about him )  And these are only some of the problems, the most obvious and kinda well known, that a person could have with Charles Xavier.  The fact is, Charles is not the hero that get represented in the movies more often than not. At the very core, he’s a very narcisisstic man that would literally push anyone under a bus if that means that his “mission” is a little closer to being finally completed.  I believe that Charles honestly believes to be in the right, and that, even if he’s not always ready to admit it, he knows that he’s not a stereotypical hero.  Also: all the X Men have daddy issues because of him  I won’t even get into why I don’t agree with his ideology because that would make the post a lot longer ( he preachs something that it’s absolutely impossible in real life, or even in the comics for what matters, and it’s very damaging to what the real purpose should be. It’s true that with the last comics - since House of X - everything changed and Charles is not really on the same side he always was, but before talking about that I really have to keep up with Dawn of X to see where this storyline is going, because I don’t trust him honestly ).  To conclude, I do think that Charles is a great complex character, and I crave for content with him because I love the contradiction between the good man facade and his actual actions, but I don’t think he’s right or even a great person.  But in comics, he’s one of my favourite characters, since he’s very interesting. It’s curious to me that he isn’t pointed out more by mainstream media as an anti hero or a straight up villain. ( Even if it shouldn’t be surprising since the kind of agenda he tries to push is what mainstream media wants us to believe is the “good thing to do”. ) There is so much more to talk about, but I really don’t want to drag this a lot, also because I’m not sure if it’s comprehensible...  I’m very sad that I’m not really able to express myself at best because I’m not sure if I’ve driven the point home?? Or if this is an actual thin gyou can say in English? But I hope that you understood, even if I was alittle vague

La reina Tyanna, mejor conocida como Tyanna de Pentos y Tyanna de la Torre, fue una de las esposas de Maegor I Targaryen.

Tyanna llegó a Desembarco del Rey desde Pentos acompañando a la reina Alys Harroway veintiocho días después del Juicio de Siete en el que el rey Maegor, aunque victorioso, quedo gravemente herido y en coma. Algunos decían que era una concubina del rey, mientras que otros decían que era la amante de la propia Alys. Nada más legar, la reina Visenya Targaryen echó a los maestres y septones del rey y lo dejó al cuidado de Tyanna. Maegor despertó a la mañana siguiente, incluso con fuerzas suficientes para atacar el Septo de la Conmemoración.

Tras la Batalla del Gran Forca del Aguasnegras en 42 d.C., el rey anunció su decisión de tomar a Tyanna como su tercera esposa. El Gran Maestre Myros fue el único que se mostró abiertamente en contra, por lo que fue ejecutado por Maegor. La ceremonia se celebró en lo alto de la Colina de Visenya, entre las ruinas del Septo de la Conmemoración, haciendo falta ejecutar a una docena de septones antes de encontrar a uno dispuesto a celebrarla. Entre los asistentes a la boda estuvieron Wat el Talador, mutilado tras su captura en la reciente batalla, y la reina viuda Alyssa Velaryon, obligada por la reina Visenya. La reina Alys Harroway acompañó a la pareja durante el encamamiento.

Se decía que aunque el rey Maegor gobernaba los Siete Reinos, él mismo era gobernado por tres reinas, su madre Visenya y sus esposas Alys y Tyanna, esta última sirviendo como su Consejera de los Rumores. Fue conocida como el cuervo del rey por el color de su cabello y su labor, y de ella se rumoreaba que hablaba con arañas y ratas, presentándose ante ella en la noche todas las alimañas de Desembarco del Rey para acusar a todo necio capaz de calumniar al rey.

Cuando el príncipe Aegon Targaryen se rebeló contra su tío en 43 d.C., Tyanna advirtió al rey de que la reina viuda Alyssa habia estado en contacto con Bastión de Tormentas, el Nido de Águilas, Invernalia y Roca Casterly en busca de apoyo para su hijo, pero que los grandes señores de Poniente querían una victoria por parte de Aegon para asegurarse de que bando posicionarse. Prevenido, el rey Maegor se enfrentó y derrotó a su sobrino en la Batalla bajo el Ojo de Dioses.

En 44 d.C. la reina Alys Harroway sufrió un aborto durante su tercer mes de embarazo. Cuando el rey vió que el bebe era una monstruosidad ejecutó al Gran Maestre Desmond y a las septas y comadronas a cargo de Alys. En su dolor, Tyanna apareció ante él para decirle que Alys, en acuerdo con su padre Lord Lucas Harroway, Mano del Rey, había yacido con otros hombres para quedarse embarazada. Furioso, el rey le lanzó la cabeza del Gran Maestre Desmond a su esposa y la llamó bruja envidiosa e infertil, ante lo que ella le presentó una lista de veinte hombres contratados por Lord Lucas como amantes para su hija, de los cuales bajo tortura solo dos confesaron su traición. Tras ser apresada por la Guardia Real, la reina Alys fue entregada a Tyanna, quien en presencia del rey la torturó de forma horrible durante una quincena.

Tyanna fue la encargada de torturar al príncipe Viserys Targaryen cuando su madre, la reina viuda Alyssa Velaryon, escapó de la capital con sus hijos menores. La tortura duró nueve días antes de que el príncipe muriese.

En 45 d.C., el rey Maegor abandonó Desembarco del Rey para hacerse cargo personalmente de los remanentes de la Fe Militante, dejando a la reina Tyanna y a la Mano del Rey, Lord Edwell Celtigar, a cargo de la ciudad.

Para 46 d.C., Tyanna era la única esposa del rey Maegor tras las muertes de las reinas Alys Harroway y Ceryse Hightower. A pesar de no haberle dado ningún hijo al rey, este dejó de visitar su cama y ella pasó a servirle únicamente como Consejera de los Rumores. En busca de un heredero, al año siguiente el rey tomó a otras tres mujeres como esposas, entre ellas a su sobrina Rhaena. Aunque ella había ocultado a sus hijas gemelas Aerea y Rhaella del rey, Tyanna fue capaz de encontrarlas y las presentó ante su madre el día de la boda para asegurar así su colaboración.

Se rumoreó que Tyanna ofreció un elixir de fertilidad a Jeyne Westerling, una de las nuevas reinas, el día de la boda, pero se desconoce si esta se lo bebió. Poco después la reina Jeyne quedo embarazada, al igual que la reina Elinor Costayne, pero a los tres meses de embarazo sufrío un aborto. El niño que llevaba en su vientre tenía malformaciones, tales como las que tuvo el hijo de la reina Alys Harroway. Aunque algunos atribuían estos males a su crímenes de sangre o su guerra contra la Fe de los Siete, el rey tuvo claro la razón y mandó a la Guardia Real a detener a la reina Tyanna y llevarla a las mazmorras.

Sin falta de tortura Tyanna confesó ser la responsable de las monstruosidades nacidas de las otras esposas del rey, afirmando que había envenenado a las reinas. Maegor la mató él mismo en 48 d.C., arrancándole el corazón con Fuegoscuro y dándoselo a los perros para comer. Aunque muerta, Tyanna logró su venganza cuando la reina Elinor dió a luz a un niño muerto y deformado.

Vaya que Maegor y ella son el uno para el otro...

Queen Tyanna, better known as Tyanna de Pentos and Tyanna de la Torre, was one of Maegor I Targaryen's wives.

Tyanna arrived at King's Landing from Pentos accompanying Queen Alys Harroway twenty-eight days after the Trial of Seven in which King Maegor, although victorious, was seriously wounded and in a coma. Some said that she was a concubine of the king, while others said that she was the lover of Alys herself. As soon as he bequeathed, Queen Visenya Targaryen expelled the king's mates and septons and left him in Tyanna's care. Maegor woke up the next morning, even with enough strength to attack the Memorial Septum.

Following the Battle of the Great Blackwater Forum in 42 AD, the king announced his decision to take Tyanna as his third wife. Grand Master Myros was the only one who was openly against it, so he was executed by Maegor. The ceremony was held at the top of Visenya Hill, among the ruins of the Septa of Remembrance, requiring a dozen septons to be executed before finding one willing to celebrate it. Among those attending the wedding were Wat the Talador, mutilated after his capture in the recent battle, and the widowed queen Alyssa Velaryon, forced by Queen Visenya. Queen Alys Harroway accompanied the couple during the bedtime.

Although King Maegor ruled the Seven Kingdoms, it was said that he himself was ruled by three queens, his mother Visenya and his wives Alys and Tyanna, the latter serving as her Rumor Counselor. She was known as the King's Raven because of the color of her hair and her work, and it was rumored that she spoke to spiders and rats, all the vermin of King's Landing appeared before her at night to accuse every fool capable of slandering to the king.

When Prince Aegon Targaryen rebelled against his uncle in 43 AD, Tyanna warned the king that Dowager Queen Alyssa had been in contact with Storm's End, Eagles Nest, Winterfell, and Casterly Rock in search of support for her son, but that the great lords of Westeros wanted a victory on the part of Aegon to ensure that they sided position. Warned, King Maegor confronted and defeated his nephew in Battle under the Eye of the Gods.

In A.D. 44 Queen Alys Harroway had an abortion during her third month of pregnancy. When the king saw that the baby was a monstrosity, he executed the Grand Master Desmond and the septas and midwives in charge of Alys. In his pain, Tyanna appeared before him to tell him that Alys, in agreement with her father Lord Lucas Harroway, Hand of the King, had lain with other men to become pregnant. Furious, the king threw the head of Grand Master Desmond at his wife and called her an envious and infertile witch, before which she presented him with a list of twenty men hired by Lord Lucas as lovers for his daughter, of whom under torture only two confessed their treason. After being seized by the Royal Guard, Queen Alys was handed over to Tyanna, who tortured her horribly in the presence of the king for a fortnight.

Tyanna was tasked with torturing Prince Viserys Targaryen when his mother, the widowed queen Alyssa Velaryon, escaped from the capital with her young children. The torture lasted nine days before the prince died.

In AD 45, King Maegor left King's Landing to personally take care of the remnants of the Militant Faith, leaving Queen Tyanna and the King's Hand, Lord Edwell Celtigar, in charge of the city.

By AD 46, Tyanna was the only wife of King Maegor after the deaths of queens Alys Harroway and Ceryse Hightower. Despite not having given any son to the king, he stopped visiting her bed and she went on to serve him only as Counselor of Rumors. In search of an heir, the following year the king took three other women as wives, including his niece Rhaena. Although she had hidden her twin daughters Aerea and Rhaella from the king, Tyanna was able to find them and presented them to her mother on the wedding day to ensure their collaboration.

Tyanna was rumored to have offered a fertility elixir to Jeyne Westerling, one of the new queens, on the day of the wedding, but it is unknown whether she drank it. Soon after, Queen Jeyne became pregnant, just like Queen Elinor Costayne, but three months pregnant she suffered an abortion. The child in her womb had malformations, such as those of Queen Alys Harroway's son. Although some attributed these evils to his blood crimes or his war against the Faith of the Seven, the king was clear on the reason and sent the Royal Guard to arrest Queen Tyanna and take her to the dungeons.

Without lack of torture, Tyanna confessed to being responsible for the monstrosities born from the other wives of the king, claiming that she had poisoned the queens. Maegor killed her himself in A.D. 48, ripping out his heart with Darkfires and giving it to the dogs to eat. Although dead, Tyanna achieved her revenge when Queen Elinor gave birth to a deformed and dead child.

Wow she and Maegor are for each other ...

*  ― ANA DE ARMAS ??  no, that’s just DIANE STRYKER !!  she’s the TWENTY FIVE year old daughter of WILLIAM STRYKER, and is, in addition to being an UNDERGRAD there, the current JOURNALISM TA at paragon academy. i hear she’s BENEVOLENT & INTUITIVE, but tends to be pretty DIFFIDENT & MELANCHOLIC. her file says that her power is PSYCHOSOMATIC ILLUSION MANIPULATION. you can check out her pinterest HERE and read her stats page HERE !!

        can we speak in flowers?           it will be easier for me to understand.

SECTION ONE OF THREE: BULLET POINT HISTORY 

allow me to introduce you all to my sad girl daughter, miss diane jael stryker - born on august eighth, 1992, to a pretty well known father and an unknown, even to her, mother. her mom was a mutant. this only came clear, later, to both her and her father - but way back then, colonel william stryker DIDN’T know that, and her mother wasn’t about to say. everything that transpired between them was born from some sort of necessity. she had never meant to love him, but she DID, and from that love had come diane.

she was only three months old when her mother disappeared from her life, forever. she had always thought that maybe, just maybe, love would save her husband. that if it all came out far in the future that she was a low level mutant then perhaps by then how much he cared for her would drown how much he despised her kind, and with the knowledge of what his wife was, might change his life’s mission. she was, like many women who think they can save a man that’s too far gone with nothing more than softness, wrong. housecleaning one day, she came across the files her husband kept stored away in his office - a place she had very rarely ventured before - and it wasn’t until she went through those cases, with their pictures, and their details, that she knew EXACTLY the sort of man he was, and just how beyond saving he was, to boot. there was nothing for it, and she ran - but she left behind diane. she lacked money, and resources, and that special maternal bone that meant that you would do ANYTHING for the fruit of your womb. she couldn’t handle a child. and stupidly, maybe, she thought that if she did turn out to be like HER, then william would never harm a hair upon her head.

william saw his wife’s disappearance as delayed cold feet. he didn’t know about her being a mutant, or what she had seen, so he had no reason to think otherwise. she had rushed into marriage and their new baby, always a bit on the sickly side, had been the last straw - she had run off and abandoned them both, nothing more. when he told diane of her mother, he made sure to sugarcoat it. he told her that she had loved her. that she’d come back, someday, when she was ready. he tried not to upset diane. 

in fact - since she was human, william did a lot of that. diane was his little girl. his only child, his legacy, and with no reason to hate her, he didn’t. against what anyone might have expected, the main advocate for death to mutants was the WORLD’S BEST FATHER - diane’s words, once, not mine. they shared a lot of time together. he made sure that she learned manners and how to act - girls should speak only when spoken to, and they should have a deep respect for their elders - and had a deep sense of faith. they attended church twice weekly, when he was around, and when he wasn’t, she instead attended with her grandmother - a sweet old woman getting on in age, who cared deeply for her granddaughter.

william wasn’t all conservative white guy in his raising of her, though. she was taught how to fix up cars and how to defend herself. he did normal dad things, like hoist her up on his shoulders, and read her bedtime stories and play hide and seek for a few hours before dinner. when she had her first boyfriend - a little bit later than the norm, because she had attended all girls private schools for most of her life - he even drove them, personally, to the cinema. and when he wasn’t there to do those things, her nana - who was, by the time she was four, living with them - was the best. she taught her how to cook and knit, and would take his place reading her bedtime stores. when her sight failed her, she had taught her how to read enough that diane could take those over. she had a happy life, and she learned everything she needed to, on top of everything he wanted her to.

and when she was older, she learned how to run rallies. diane stryker : the poster child for the next generation of the anti-mutant movement. once she had reached an age he thought appropriate, william would bring her along with him as he traveled across the country, getting her to help out and giving her steadily more and more important jobs until finally, she was running things behind the scenes for him. she was good at it. she knew what to say to reporters, or to talk show hosts. her dad had instilled in her a true fear of mutantkind - and a hatred, too, though at the time she didn’t know that. at the time, she didn’t even know that what she felt was WRONG. diane was never bad. she never said the things she did, or helped out with the things she helped with, because she was evil, and wanted mutants DEAD. she did everything because all her life, her dad had been teaching her to. it just felt like it was right.

and when she found out she was a mutant, her world turned upside down. it really goes without saying that everything she had ever done on top of who her father was made diane a TARGET - and as she was leaving another rally well done one night, her car was attacked by a more radical mutant group. she was dragged from it, towards an suv. she wasn’t sure - and never would be - whether they just intended on holding her for a time as leverage against her father, or whether their message would be her death, but she never found out. her powers manifested. she wasn’t thinking straight so it was all very choppy, that first time - she couldn’t kick them but she wished she could so they felt like she had, etc, etc - but it was enough that she got away, and there was no doubt in her mind about what she was. diane didn’t know what to do. she knew what her father would say - do - and she knew, too, that she had suddenly become everything she had spent her life being told was wrong. with fear in her pure little heart, diane RAN.

a girl like her on the streets could have come across pretty much anyone. things could have been so much worse, in so many different ways, but by the light of god, diane found the underground - and her hero, lorna dane. it’s all a lot, still, and there’s still SO MUCH that diane has to learn. but she’s going to try. and she’s going to be better in the future, i promise. 

SECTION TWO OF THREE: HEADCANONS

diane can be fairly tone deaf, still, about mutants. she doesn’t mean to be. there are experiences that she never had, and things she had never learned until more recently, that mean she’s very much a fish out of water, ariel in the little mermaid style - sometimes she shies away from fellow mutants out of the same fear that she used to be gripped by, and misunderstanding, because it’s all just.. so new to her. 

her first inner conflict comes as she unlearns everything her father ever taught her about mutants. she now knows, thanks to lorna, thanks to so many OTHER mutants, that everything she had ever done and seen them as was wrong. she’s different now and she feels differently towards her fellow mutants, too, but there are still some lessons she can thank her father for that run deep, and she sometimes fears she’ll never unlearn them all.

her second inner conflict comes with lining up who she thought her father was for all these years and who she has since learned he really is. diane isn’t jaded. she now knows, thanks to the underground, exactly the sort of monster her father is, and some of the horrors he’s inflicted. she knows he’s awful, and she hates him, but... he was never awful to her, and her good memories come to her at the worst of times. diane knows he’s a terrible person. but she also remembers her loving father. it’s difficult. 

she always smells like a mix of lavender and tea tree, and no one knows whether that’s her perfume or the bath salts that she uses.

she once owned a 1986 pale eggshell blue volkswagen beetle that she had nicknamed “bug”, and which was the most reliable little run around car that a person could have. her grandmother was the previous owner and it had sat in her garage doing nothing for over a decade by the time diane and her dad started fixing it up, and she sometimes thinks it’s the one thing she should have brought with her. 

diane often takes a fancy to random hobbies, and continues doing them for some time before she moves on to the next new idea she gets. the one thing she has never moved on from, though, is art - she’s by no means a GOOD artist ( and she never will be ) but she is an amazing writer with a lot of promise in her future, and she tries her best to illustrate certain moments in her many journals as best she can. 

she’s a coffee fiend. 

she has never & will never have an up to date phone. even before she ran away with nothing other than the clothes on her back, she preferred older, more classic sort of mobiles - and now, she has a simple black motorola RAZR. 

she’s the sort of girl who wears floral / print headscarves tied in her hair every single day, without fail. she always has a new scarf to fashion a little bit differently, and that’s just one of her many quirks, which sets her apart from the crowd. look for the headscarf and you’ll find di. 

one thing she gets a lot of enjoyment out of doing is painting her nails. it’s small and silly, but it’s very calming to sit for however long she’s sitting, just dotting a pattern along the tip of her nail (and trust me, there’s always a tip to dot- somehow, her nails aren’t easily broken) or even simply painting them a different color. usually she sticks to white nail polish, but when she branches out it’s usually into pale, calming colors - light green, light blue, pale pink, soft red.

diane is always organized, and always has dozens of things she doesn’t need cluttering up her pack on the off chance that someone else might need them. more than that, though, she’s a girl who has pockets filled with oddities, that range from practical use items - she still remembers the first time she pulled out her multi-purpose penknife set, and everyone’s wide eyed reaction - and little trinkets that you’d think she just forgot to take out of there after buying, such as tiny carved animals, and coins from around the world. she’s a little bit of a hoarder in a sense, never wanting to part from a memory, and by keeping things close to her from certain points in her life, she makes herself feel so much happier - and the things she often pulls out of her pockets in her search for her phone also serve the purpose of causing intrigue among whoever she’s with.

her clothes have always hailed from charity shops and second hand markets - even when she COULD afford better. she doesn’t see the point in spending so much on what she wears when there are items out there worth so much more than what they’re going for, which still look amazing in spite of having been worn a few times in the past. for that reason, a lot of her clothes are a little oversized, and very mix and match - her outfits are always thrown together in little to no time. 

she’ll argue, forever, that her sight is FINE - but the fact remains that for things like reading, she really does require her glasses. they’re an old timely seeming pair that do their job, and though she’s been told time and time again how out of fashion they are, she can’t seem to bring herself to change them - just another example of how endlessly attached to seemingly small things she gets.

Sheila Na Gig

For the last few months I have been researching witches, pagan rituals, traditions and Celtic history. I first came across the Sheila na Gig statues when researching women’s rights before and after British rule over Ireland.

In Celtic Ireland women enjoyed legal rights, rights that would been seen as being very progressive even in some of today’s societies. Women kept their own property in marriage and a wife could divorce her husband for fourteen different reasons. British conquest brought to an end Ireland’s independent legal system and removed most of Irish women’s traditional rights. It also brought sexual prudity, which hadn’t previously been part of Irish culture.  

In Celtic tradition there are many stories of strong warrior women, equal to men, if not stronger. There is Queen Maeve who led her army to victory, in one battle drowning an army in urine and menstrual blood. The narrative of this story has changed over the years, having been influenced by patriarchal readings of what happened, but compared to the stigma in today’s society around women and menstruation, this story is quite a powerful display of womanhood; menstruation shown as being powerful, a superpower nearly, instead of a weakness or something to be ashamed of. Irish women would fight in every rebellion as equals to men. It is easy to be unaware of this history and these legends in modern Ireland and can easily be hard to imagine when we are currently still fighting for economic and reproductive rights in Ireland.

The policing of female sexuality is not only a problem in Ireland, as control over women’s bodies and sexuality can be seen in most societies around the world. There is no doubt that the female body is political, whether it is being sexualised or de-sexualised, but there is power in realizing that we cannot continue to apologize for existing, for having needs, wants, desires and power. I am obviously particularly interested in the history of women in Ireland, being an Irish women myself, specifically Northern Irish. I was pleasantly surprised by the information I discovered on Irish women and the struggle for a United Ireland, the equality and respect they were granted as they fought alongside men. It is impossible to escape the effect of centuries of religion in Ireland, and with this religion comes the control over women in Ireland. This is why I was particularly interested and surprised when I discovered the figurative carvings of Sheila na Gigs that were carved on churches and castles in Ireland and Great Britain.  

My discovery of Sheela na Gig statues is what led me to continue to research the history of women in Ireland, from Celtic legends to the Easter Rising. There is something so striking, so powerful in these unapologetic carvings with their exagerated vulva’s. I was also especially surprised to find that many of the Sheela na Gig carvings appeared to be masturbating, quite a radical depiction of women considering that even today female masturbation is quite a taboo subject and still not widely explored in modern art. There are many different explanations for what the Sheela na Gigs represent and it can be imortant to look at who is giving the explanation, for example, the theory that they are on churches as a warning against lust probably came from religious figures. There are suggestions that the Sheela na Gig represents a pagan goddess, perhaps the goddess cailleach, who was so powerful she could create and shape the hills and valleys. The imagery of a goddess is powerful in itself as she represents an immanent power, authority, control and respect. She is a spiritual figure that seeks to empower women in their own choices and self worth unlike many of the spiritual figures in other religions.  

There are claims that the carvings are fertility figures, although many of the Sheela’s do not fit a fertility function. But this theory is no less empowering, as the ability to carry and give life can be seen as one of the greatest signifiers of a woman’s strength and power, the vulva being the gate between the womb and life, and so it is not hard to see how the Sheela’s could be associated with fertility.

My favorite interpretation is that the Sheila na Gig are used to ward off evil, that they perform a powerful type of Anasyrma as a form of protection. Anasyrma is the gesture of lifting up the skirt or kilt, connected with religious rituals, eroticism, and lewd jokes. It is a form of exhibitionism similar to flashing, but differs in that instead of being for the implicit purpose of the exhibtionist’s own sexual arousal, it is instead done only for the effect of the onlooker.  

Anasyrma is effectively the exposing of the genitals, always by a women, and is interesting in that it, is the woman using her genitals as an apotropaic device that could be interpreted as empowering to herself, while historically and socially it has widely been men exposing their genitals to women in a form of power over women, an unwanted sexual advance. We can see similar figures to the Sheila na Gigs performing anasyrma such as the ancient Greek figure Baubo. Baubo’s performance of anasyrma is performed to create humor and laughter. There is also the Putta di Porta Tosa figurine in Milan mounted at an entrance in the city wall. The figure shows a woman standing, facing outward towards any potential attackers and she is holding a knife while lifting her garment to expose herself with the other. This is another example of a statue using anasyrma for protection. Another interesting example of this is Jean de La Fontaine’s painting ‘Nouveaux Contes’ showing a woman lifting up her skirt to terrify the devil himself. This shows the anthropic power that anasyrma has been believed to have, that it is strong enough to ward off the worst evils. A story from The Irish Times (September 23, 1977) reported a potentially violent incident involving several men, which was averted by a woman exposing her genitals to the attackers.  

It is not only the exposing of female genitals that has mythical powers but the female body in general. In a similar vein to Queen Maeve and the power of menstruation that I spoke of before, Pliny the Elder wrote that a menstruating woman who uncovers her body can scare away hailstorms, whirlwinds and lightning.  Another interesting example of sexuality and eroticism having powerful effects on the earth is Balkan Pagan traditions where women would run into the fields and lift their skirts to scare the gods and end the rain. This was brilliantly explored by Marina Abramovic in her performance piece 'Balkan Erotic Epic’  where she dressed in traditional folk costumes and reenacted these ancient rituals.

In Africa woman have in the past, and still do, strip naked as a curse and as a means to ward off evil. Women give life and so they can also take it away. Women invoke this curse under the most extreme cases, causing the men they curse to an extreme form of ostracism. It was used by women in Nigeria during the second Liberian Civil War and against President Laurent Gbagbo of the Ivory Coast, cursing his rule. In 2002 members of the Niger Delta Women for Justice occupied the Chevron Texan oil company in Escravos to protest for better treatment from the company. When the military showed up to remove them the women threatened to naked curse them and so the soldiers did not even touch them.

These are just a few examples of the influence and history of the female body and supernatural powers believed to be held by women around the world. There are undoubtedly even more examples than this, but I found these examples particularly interesting when exploring the female body and genitals in art and performances. For a subject often surrounded in shame and taboo it is intriguing to see learn of its use in forms of protest, its perceived influence over nature, life and death and war. It seems clear that despite an attempt from external forces to stigmatize the power of the female body, there is a undeniably history of it’s power in every culture.

With my project I am seeking to channel the different interpretations of what the Sheela na Gig means and the power of the female body in different culture’s, particularly Irish, legends. I have created my own interpretation of the Vulva using only sticks and wool, which is fitting, as Irish women have been weaving for centuries. By wearing my brightly colored 'vulva’ and bringing attention to it I am performing my own type of anasyrma, alluding to the different powers this brings. I am empowered by it’s ability to ward of evil, to scare men and to evoke fear in an enemy. I am empowered by presenting my own version of female sexuality as opposed to the usual presentation of female sexuality that is catered towards the male gaze. I am empowered by performing this piece on my own terms with the power from within connotations it has for me as a woman as opposed to the power over which male 'flashing’ seeks to bring. I do not seek to perform this piece to make anyone uncomfortable but to bring attention to the provocative and political nature and history behind exposing the female body and genitals. I am also able to see the comedy in my performance as my act can be perceived with surprise and humor, channeling anasyrma’s power to allow for a letting go of sadness. I certainly find it to be a humorous performance and often find myself laughing while trying to perform it.

All in all what inspired me and what I want to convey with this piece is the power of the female body to provoke and protest, to be beautiful, strong, and magical. There is no denying that whether or not you believe in these stories of the powers of the female body and the female genitalia, the fact that they exist is proof enough that they must have some power, to have provoked such a strong reaction from so many different people throughout history.

Our Universal Mother - Part 2

The Annunciation

March 25 - Part 2

"And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women." - St. Luke 1:28

The Annunciation - A Meditation by Dom Gueranger, O.S.B.

A tradition, which has come down from the apostolic ages, tells us that the great mystery of the Incarnation was achieved on the twenty-fifth day of March (St. Augustine, De Trinitate, Lib. iv, cap. v). It was at the hour of midnight, when the most holy Virgin was alone and absorbed in prayer, that the Archangel Gabriel appeared before her, and asked her, in the name of the blessed Trinity, to consent to become the Mother of God. Let us assist, in spirit, at this wonderful interview between the angel and the Virgin: and, at the same time, let us think of that other interview which took place between Eve and the serpent. A holy bishop and martyr of the second century, Saint Irenaeus who had received the tradition from the very disciples of the apostles, shows us that Nazareth is the counterpart of Eden (Adv. haereses, Lib. v, cap. xix).

In the garden of delights there is a virgin and an angel: and a conversation takes place between them. At Nazareth a virgin is also addressed by an angel, and she answers him; but the angel of the earthly paradise is a spirit of darkness, and he of Nazareth is a spirit of light. In both instances it is the angel that has the first word, "Why," said the serpent to Eve, "hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of paradise?" His question implies impatience and a solicitation to evil; he has contempt for the frail creature to whom he addresses it, but he hates the image of God which is upon her.

See, on the other hand, the angel of light; see with what composure and peacefulness he approaches the Virgin of Nazareth, the new Eve; and how respectfully he bows himself down before her; "Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with thee! Blessed art thou among women!" Such language is evidently of heaven: none but an angel could speak thus to Mary.

Eve imprudently listens to the tempter’s words; she answers him; she enters into conversation with one that dares to ask her to question the justice of God’s commands. Her curiosity urges her on. She has no mistrust in the serpent; this leads her to mistrust her Creator.

Mary hears what Gabriel has spoken to her; but this most prudent virgin is silent. She is surprised at the praise given her by the angel. The purest and humblest of virgins has a dread of flattery; and the heavenly messenger receives no reply from her, until he has fully explained his mission by these words: "Fear not, Mary, for thou has found favor with God. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a Son: and thou shalt call His name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of David His father: and He shall reign in the house of David His father: and He shall reign in the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there shall be no end."

What magnificent promises are these, which are made to her in the name of God! What higher glory could she, a daughter of Judah, desire, knowing, as she does that the fortunate Mother of the Messias is to be the object of the greatest veneration? And yet it tempts her not. She has forever consecrated her virginity to God, in order that she may be the more closely united to Him by love. The grandest possible privilege, if it is to be on the condition of violating this sacred vow, would be less than nothing in her estimation. She thus answers the angel: "How shall this be done? Because I know not man."

The first Eve evinces no such prudence or disinterestedness. No sooner has the wicked spirit assured her that she may break the commandment of her divine Benefactor and not die; that the fruit of her disobedience will be a wonderful knowledge, than she immediately yields; she is conquered Her self-love has made her at once forget both duty and gratitude: she is delighted at the thought of being freed from the twofold tie which binds her to her Creator.

Such is the woman that caused our perdition. But how different is she that was to save us! The former cares not for her posterity; she looks but to her own interests: the latter forgets herself to think only of her God, and of the claims He has to her service. The angel, charmed with this sublime fidelity, thus answers the question put to him by Mary, and reveals to her the designs of God: "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren; because no word shall be impossible with God." This is said, he is silent, and reverently awaits the answer of the Virgin of Nazareth.

Let us look once more at the virgin of Eden. Scarcely has the wicked serpent finished speaking that Eve casts a longing look at the forbidden fruit: she is impatient to enjoy the independence it is to bring her. She rashly stretches forth her hand; she plucks the fruit; she eats it, and death takes possession of her; death of the soul, for sin extinguishes the light of life; and death of the body, which, being separated from the source of immortality, becomes and object of shame and horror, and finally crumbles into dust.

But let us turn away our eyes from this sad spectacle, and fix them on Nazareth. Mary has heard the angel’s explanation of the mystery; the will of heaven is made known to her, and how grand an honor it is to bring upon her! She, the humble maid of Nazareth, is to have the ineffable happiness of becoming the Mother of God, and yet the treasure of her virginity is to be left to her! Mary bows down before this sovereign will, and says to the heavenly messenger: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to thy word."

Thus, as the great St. Irenaeus and so many of the holy fathers remark, the obedience of the second Eve repaired the disobedience of the first: for no sooner does the Virgin of Nazareth speak her fiat, "be it done," than the eternal Son of God (who according to the divine decree, awaited this word) is present, by the operation of the Holy Ghost, in the chaste womb of Mary, and there He begins His human life. A Virgin is a Mother, and Mother of God; and it is this Virgin’s consenting to the Divine Will that has made her conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost. This sublime mystery puts between the eternal Word and a mere woman the relations of Son and Mother; it gives to the almighty God a means whereby He may, in a manner worthy of His majesty, triumph over Satan, who hitherto seemed to have prevailed against the divine plan.

Never was there a more entire or humiliating defeat than that which this day befell Satan. The frail creature, over whom he had so easily triumphed at the beginning of the world, now rises and crushes his proud head. Eve conquers in Mary. God would not choose man for the instrument of His vengeance; the humiliation of Satan would not have been great enough; and therefore she who was the first prey of hell, the first victim of the tempter, is selected to give battle to the enemy. The result is so glorious a triumph that Mary is to be superior not only to the rebel angels, but to the whole human race, yea, to the angels of heaven. Seated on her exalted throne, she, the Mother of God, is to be the Queen of all creation. Satan, in the depths of the abyss, will eternally bewail his having dared to direct his first attack against the woman, for God has now so gloriously avenged her; and in heaven, the very Cherubim and Seraphim reverently look up to Mary, and deem themselves honored when she smiles upon them, or employs them in the execution of any of her wishes, for she is the Mother of their God.

Therefore is it that we, the children of Adam, who have been snatched by Mary’s obedience from the power of hell, solemnize this day of the Annunciation. Well may we say of Mary those words of Debbora, when she sang her song of victory over the enemies of God’s people: "The valiant men ceased, and rested in Israel, until Debbora arose, a mother arose in Israel. The Lord chose new wars, and He Himself overthrew the gates of the enemies" (Judges 5:7-8). Let us also refer to the holy Mother of Jesus these words of Judith, who by her victory over the enemy was another type of Mary: "Praise ye the Lord our God, who hath not forsaken them that hope in Him. And by me, His handmaid, He hath fulfilled His mercy, which He promised to the house of Israel; and he hath killed the enemy of His people by my hand this night… The almighty Lord hath struck him, and hath delivered him into the hands of a woman, and hath slain him." (Judith 13:17-18; 16:7)

Are you constantly thinking about how ume trees are considered to ward off evil spirits (ironic isn't it?), the flower means elegance, dignity and fidelity, and umeboshi, the pickled fruit, is a very popular food in Japan which compliments Sukuna's food/kitchen motif. Ume also symbolizes the arrival of spring and new beginnings

Are you constantly thinking about all of that or are you normal?
