     I'M THE MASTER MAGICIAN        THAT MAKES YOU BELIEVE

[tangents-within-tangents]

Arcadian Wild just being the epitome of comfort lyrics

Lara, don't you let 'em get your head down … Oh, Lara dear No matter what they say, may you hear The daybreak's near

Lara, keep an eye on the horizon Don't worry bout the rain, the sun is rising -Lara

From day one you pushed me forward Never once stopped to take a breath When I look for you, you're standing in my corner Holding up the world -Corner

When the darkness makes me feel like I'm far away from you You gently remind me that this never was nor will be true -Shoulders

Whether or not there'll be warmer weather, There's just enough sun to see, you're the light over me … Be the ground underneath my feet I'll walk with no need to worry … Be in the wind I hear whispering I'll carry you when your weary -Willow

Wake up and break yourself out of here Don't be one of the cold souls who disappears Stop believing and telling the lie Why don't you look your life in the eye? -Dopamine

Listen to my voice Close your frightened eyes Hide behind my love for you ‘Cause fear’s only a choice, one that we all must make someday So know you’re not alone in this -Rain Clouds (my personal favorite)

Assembly of Gods around Jupiter's Throne Talon Abraxas Hymn to Jupiter by Callimachus (c. 310-240 B.C.) Whilst we to Jove immortal and divine, Perform the rites, and pour the ruddy wine; What shall the Muse, with sacred rapture sing, But Jove th' almighty and eternal king, Who from high heav'n, with bursting thunder, hurl'd The sons of earth, and awes th' ætherial world! But say, thou first and greatest pow'r above! Shall I Dictæan or Lycæan Jove Attempt to sing?… Who knows thy mighty line? And who can tell, except by pow'r divine, If Ida's hills thy sacred birth may claim, Or far Arcadia boast an equal fame? The Cretans, prone to fasehood, vaunt in vain, And impious! built thy tomb on Dicte's plain; For Jove, th' immortal king, shall never die, But reign o'er men and Gods above the sky. In high Parrhafia Rhea bore the God, Where gloomy forests on the mountains nod; And hence such awful horror guards the grove, Made holy by the glorious birth of Jove, That now no teeming female dares presume To bear her young amid the hallowed gloom: Nor beast nor insect shall approach the shade, Nor matron chaste invoke Lucina's aid Within the dark recess, still known to fame, And Rheas ancient bed th' Arcadians name.

APHRODITE

“Muse, tell me the deeds of golden Aphrodite the Cyprian, who stirs up sweet passion in the gods and subdues the tribes of mortal men and birds that fly in air and all the many creatures that the dry land rears, and all that the sea: all these love the deeds of rich-crowned Cytherea."   (-Homeric Hymn, translated by H.G. Evelyn white)

APHRODITE (a-fruh-DIE-tee) (Roman- Venus); The goddess of love, pleasure, and fertility, was born from Ouranus' severed penis which was cast down into the sea by his son, the titan Cronus, and the resulting sea spray. While in some versions she is the daughter of Zeus and a sea nymph name Dione. 

She reclines upon a swan (early depictions in ancient Greek art show her riding a swan, a symbol of grace and divinity) and underneath is the commonly portrayed scallop shell. Aphrodite holds her sacred golden Apple of Discord, won by Paris choosing her in the beauty contest between her, Athena, and Hera. Upon her waist sits a golden chastity belt, said to invoke lust in gods and mortals alike. 

Aphrodite had a lively entourage. Resting upon her arm, is Eros, the winged godling and her companion, (later becoming cupid in roman culture) who whispers sweet sensualities, while a couple Erotes(more winged godlings associated with sex and love) flitter above tossing flower petals. Frolicking at the lower left are three goddesses, the Charites(or Graces) who symbolize beauty, dancing, and banquets. Swimming atop the dolphin is a Nereid, a reference to Aphrodite's oceanic roots. and finally, above right, near the waterfall, are three more goddesses, the Horai, who represent the seasonal shifts and constellations. 

But the goddess of love has a dark side, like when she punishes arcadian princess Atalanta and her lover Hippomenes for neglecting to honor the goddess. The Spartans worshipped an armored, warlike variation of the goddess; Aphrodite of Areia.

@arcadian-muse as Ghost Face

[deathlessathanasia]

There is a Klymene daughter of Okeanos, consort of Iapetos and mother of Prometheus, a Klymene daughter of Okeanos, consort of Helios and mother of Phaethon; a Klymene daughter of Nereus; a Klymene daughter of Minyas, wife of Kephalos and mother of Iphiklos; a Klymene daughter of Katreus; there are about half a dozen more ladies named Klymene.

There is an Aglaia daughter of Zeus and wife of Hephaistos, an Aglaia daughter of Mantineus and mother of Akrisios and Proitos by Abas; an Aglaia consort of Charops and mother of Nireus; there are several other ladies named Aglaia.

There is the Themis daughter of Gaia and Ouranos, consort of Zeus and mother of the Seasons; there is also a local Arcadian nymph called Themis by the Greeks and Carmenta. by the Romans, mother of Evander and consort of Hermes.

There is the Thetis daughter of Nereus and mother of Achilles; there is also Melanippe the daughter of Cheiron whose original name was Thetis

Therefore, just because in Plato's Symposium the mother of Poros is named Metis doesn't have to mean she is the same goddess whose son, if conceived, was to become king of gods and men. Metis is also one of the many names attributed to the mother of Homer: "As for his [Homer's] mother, she is variously called Metis, Cretheis, Themista, and Eugnetho. Others say she was an Ithacan woman sold as a slave by the Phoenicians; other, Calliope the Muse; others again Polycasta, the daughter of Nestor." (The Contest of Homer and Hesiod) Metis is literally a word that describes a particular form of intelligence, so it lends itself well to allegorical genealogies such as these.

Sleep Space 2

Sleep Spaces

Hey everyone,

A series of ambient mixes designed to help you unwind and drift off into a peaceful sleep. As someone who struggles with sleep deprivation, I know firsthand the power of ambient music to create a calming atmosphere.

I’ve curated a collection of what I believe are particularly positive and soothing ambient pieces, weaving them together into roughly two-hour mixes. The goal is to provide a consistent and relaxing soundscape to help you relax and prepare for a good night’s sleep.

Sweet dreams! Trevor
