Pour les journées du patrimoine, mes parents étaient chez moi et on a fait :
- visite des archives départementales (TROP GÉNIAL)
- visite d'une centrale hydroélectrique (ça, mon cerveau se bloque direct pour me dire que je comprendrai rien, donc je comprends rien)
- concert liturgique à l'église orthodoxe russe de ma ville (dans le sous sol d'un immeuble pas ouf) (c'était très beau)
- visite guidée d'un château (trop chouette et très intéressant !)
C'était trop bien, on a aussi fait une rando vélo de 55 kms, on est allé acheter des gâteaux dans une pâtisserie que je voulais tester depuis deux ans, on est allé dans un de nos restos préférés, et mangé chez des amis.
J'adore ce genre de week-ends !

« Nous bassiner avec les accointances du fascisme éternel et du grand capital, à longueur de temps, pour finalement faire cause commune avec le « Mozart de la finance », ça ne manque pas de sel. Quelle flûte enchantée les berce ? Pour résumer : le front républicain ce sont des possédés – au sens de Dostoïevski – qui se liguent avec des possédants – au sens de Marx – pour faire barrage aux dépossédés – au sens de Guilluy et Camus, c’est-à-dire sur le double versant économique et identitaire. Dans son roman Les Démons, aussi traduit Les Possédés, Dostoïevski a montré cette filiation contre-nature entre libéraux et nihilistes, ennemis du peuple russe chrétien orthodoxe. Ce sont toujours les mêmes alliances qui se nouent. »

Police are looking for possible other victims of a high school counselor in West Los Angeles who is accused of sexually abusing a 16-year-old boy.
Julie Tichon, 37, committed a “series of sexual assaults” against the teen in February and March of this year, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a news release.
Tichon faces three counts of sexual intercourse with a minor and one count of oral copulation with a person under the age of 18. She’s due back in court on Nov. 1.
Before the alleged assaults were discovered, Tichon worked as a school counselor at YULA Los Angeles, which describes itself as a “Modern Orthodox Yeshiva High School” on its website.
“The suspect used her position of responsibility to gain these victims’ trust, then began inappropriate sexual relationships with them,” Detective Russ Hess said in the LAPD release. “Rather than advising them, she was abusing them.”
If convicted as charged, Tichon could be sentenced to up to five years in prison, though police believe there could be more victims, which “could potentially add to the criminal case.”
A previous report from the Los Angeles Times indicates the school knows of at least one other victim.
Anyone with information is asked to call Hess at 213-473-0561.
Outside of business hours or on weekends, call 877-LAPD-247.
To report information anonymously, call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS or visit lacrimestoppers.org.

*𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫: I am not a Japanese individual myself, however, Project Umbrella is a global community in which there are Japanese contributing members, which have confirmed these sources as accurate & part of their own traditional culture, either in the present or past. These sources were deliberately added by Capcom to incorporate elements of their own culture or those found within Asia, they are not 'easter eggs', & they reflect cultural / ethnic elements of the characters, & should not be seen otherwise. A large portion of this document was researched & written by a close collaborator of mine named Russ. Further findings will be added or be made into a new post. 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 :
Capcom for RE4R decided to create their own unique world-building instead of copying & pasting from cultural artifacts which had no presence in Spain the time period the old cult took place. This is why you will find MANY elements from Japan, the continent of Asia, as well as India. Although Los Iluminados may largely present itself as an Abrahamic sect to the uninformed, many of their core ideologies & practices actually have roots within ( orthodox ) Hinduism, Shingon Buddhism, Shintoism & Pre-Judaism Greek / Roman paganism, which does include human sacrifice. I will begin this analysis VERY CLEARLY that they do not believe in the Abrahamic God / YHWH, & the fandom at large is extremely misinformed about the cultural elements present within the game, including REWIKI.
This image is drawn from scratch. It is completely fictional, & you can be certain that the developers didn't take from someone else's photos. Nevertheless, any artist has references, & you cannot do visual storytelling without universal motifs, because drawings are a type of language, so they have their own kind of words. & this line of thought leads us to the question of who this mysterious figure is. Who is this weird monk-looking figure?
Well, this imagery is based on the motifs of South Asia & Hinduism in particular. You see, his position & the "sun" in place of his head have a common denominator : They're associated with the lotus. If the pose is known to many ( especially for those who practice yoga ) & needs no introduction, the head can be confusing. & here I will make a small digression : I can see how it reminds someone of René Magritte & Drew Struzan's masterpieces :
However, these arts have no actual connection with our monk. They do have a common trait, but it's very superficial & goes down to hiding identity with light. The authors' intentions are different, nonetheless : Magritte explored the paradox through how light, which helps us see in the dark, prevents us from seeing a face in a dark room, & Struzan presented an image of an alien, often associated with bright artificial light, which can have the shape of a human. In contrast, the monk from RE:4 has a Hindu motif, for his head is a version of the golden chakra ( "wheel" or "circle" ), the Sahasrara ( the "thousand-petalled lotus" ), which represents unity with the divine, where the body is a channel of godly energy. & symbolically, the golden hands resemble the manus dei motif from the early Middle Ages, which was designed by Christians to represent YHWH's intervention without depicting his body, since it was unacceptable to depict god as a full human figure. However, it looks like the deity from the game has multiple hands, which again reminds us of Hinduism :
In other words, if we are trying to draw a conclusion, the monk is an avatar of God worshipped by medieval monks. You may ask what all this has to do with Los Iluminados, except for the praying hands, which are also depicted on the statues of Osmund's predecessors, & human sacrifices. & I will answer that the lotus pose & chakra have another universal denominator : they represent enlightenment, & this is exactly what the name "Los Iluminados" refers to. This conclusion could have been the end of the story if Leon hadn't discovered a genuine Sokushinbutsu 即身仏 in the castle earlier, the practice of Buddhist monks observing asceticism to the point of death & entering mummification while alive. In fact, there is an entire cellar full of these mummies, so this is a standard practice of the cult. The practice of asceticism to the point of death whilst in lotus is not seen in any Abrahamic religion, nor has any association to European Abrahamic faith :
It looks familiar, doesn't it? The significant difference is that we have a parasite instead of a chakra, but the material / textures of this asset are still labeled as "god". This bit leads us to the faith that Lord Saddler preaches : he calls each plaga a "Holy Body," which in any modern Christian denomination means the body of Jesus Christ, the incarnation of YHWH. BUT in the context of this game, as well as paganism / Buddhism which predated Christianity, Los Iluminados believes that these parasites / 'Holy Body' are remnants of god that were discovered by Adam.
What might be interesting about this god is that Lord Saddler tells Leon during the final battle that he has made the decision to sacrifice his body & consciousness to god so that he—this god—would be reborn, & the final form of the character is labeled as a "hashira" in the game folders. Hashira, meaning "pillar", in Shinto is a unit of god, represented by a tree, which houses a kami. This type of tree is a spiritual symbol which represents the connection / pillar between heaven & earth. Osmund, figuratively & physically, became a "human pillar" / Hitobashira, which was a form of sacrifice within Japan well until the 16th Century, which was regarded as becoming wholly connected to the god(s) & providing divine protection.
Pillars not only apply to buildings within Shinto, they are also applicable to trees, which are regarded as worshipping sites. This practice of sacrifice & worship of divine trees, again, is not seen in Abrahamic religion. If you observe the regular trees in Valdelobos & The Church shrine, you can see that their depiction of a pillar is also knotted with rope, which is seen in Shinto as Shimenawa. Capcom, naturally, took creative liberty so that it is unique :
More on the nose, Los Iluminados associates human / animal hands & limbs with the branches of god in their very holy book. So becoming to the likeness of a type of spiritual tree found within Shingon Buddhism / Shintoism is something sought by the zealotry.
An addition, namely a comparison that can reinforce the parallel between the monk & Lord Saddler. Throughout the game, Leon finds the holy book of Los Iluminados, & one of them is open on a page with a curious miniature. We can see Osmund's representation, which corresponds to Ramon's subjective vision of this character, that is, as a source of light & enlightenment. This characterization is emphasized by the sun's image as a halo, as well as the gesture of the right hand in the form of the so-called "palm of the righteous", which is a symbol of sincerity & trust. This "unknown" man is a saint, & the fact that he is faceless, since the insignia of Los Iluminados replaces his face, illustrates that he is an agent of the divine will, god's speaker.
There are other tidbits I have mentioned prior, such as High Priests in Buddhism wearing purple ( as Osmund does ), Osmund wearing a coin-belt which is strictly attributed to Asia / India, as well as his robes being stitched with the infinity knot, which represents their Hindu / Buddhist ideology of rebirth / living throughout eternity ( also found in Asia / India ). I could dive into more of their cultural / religious practices & how it compares to Hindu Aghori. But, as a most stark example, every monk in Los Iluminados wears Sarashi 晒し as Fundoshi ふんどし/褌) / breast-binding, which was traditional in Japan prior WWII. This style of clothing & wearing cloth bandages was certainly not the norm within Spain. Continuing, their use of drapery is also seen in Japanese Buddhist sects, going by a variety of different terminology :

Arthur Cadre, l'artiste principal de la cérémonie de clôture des JO Paris 2024, promet un spectacle dystopique inédit, où "l'art" et l'ésotérisme occulte se mêlent.
Sous les conseils de son mentor Jacques Attali, mystique juif et spécialiste de la Kabbale, Arthur Cadre incarne une vision "artistique" satanique.
Alors que les transgressions deviennent la norme, cette cérémonie pourrait marquer un tournant vers une dérive anti-Christique assumée.
Yseult
Cette cérémonie de clôture des Jeux Olympiques sera marquée de la patte du démon, comme vient de le déclarer l'église orthodoxe russe qui a qualifié l'affiche de cloture des JO de Paris "d'Icône du diable".
« L'affiche représente une icône de la lumière tombée, une icône du diable », a déclaré l'administrateur adjoint du Patriarcat de Moscou, l'archevêque de Zelenograd Savva (Tutunov).

About
Russell is the Bookkeeper for The Jade Owls and the Librarian of the Falaina’s Library. Thrown into things beyond his control, he is captured by The Jithran Guards and put into a prison ship alongside his honorary sister, Zia, and his teacher, Derrick. When it is discovered that he has the power of Ergokinesis, he becomes a subject of interest of The Jithran Senate and Enalla Congress who intend to study him, in a lethal way. Another Ergokinetic user, Ash, an Opar-Han con-artist who he had literally bumped into, decides to rescue him. In the confusion, Russell, Zia, and Derrick are whisked away back onto the prison ship along with several criminals who orchestrated a jail break and stole the ship for their own. Now wanted for Barratry and for being an Ergokinetic User, Russell is now a member of The Jade Owls, a rag-tag gang of wanted criminal mercenaries who travel Otacaia by ocean and air, looking for missions and actively avoiding the authorities. He is currently in a relationship with Ash.
Personality
Russell is an intelligent and disciplined man with a strong-willed, blunt, and fiery side to him. He is very passionate about topics people wouldn’t normally find interesting and is keen on talking about these things to anyone who’d listen. He is a very creative, caring, moral, and kind soul who really dislikes it when people try to enforce their views on him and he can become confrontational when he feels he is pushed to his limits. He doesn’t take any nonsense from anyone; he doesn’t have time for that.
Miscellaneous
He speaks with a strong Saskatchewan Accent.
He is Autistic and proud of it. He rarely has meltdowns and shutdowns but when they do, they can go into full blown panic attacks, and he can’t control his Ergokinesis when this happens. When this happens, he recites poetry to calm down.
He wrote his first poem at age 5.
Whenever he has strong emotions or reactions to something, his Ergokinesis can show.
He enjoys jogging and is fast on his feet. He has won a few races.
He enjoys writing poetry, which is one of his Special Interests. He knows a lot of poems and poets from memory.
Besides poetry, his other interests include astrology, astronomy, mythologies, and legends.
He is intensely proud of his Greek heritage, and he enjoys talking about Greek history, culture, and Ancient Greek mythologies and stories. He believes he is a male reincarnation of Artemis, Greek Goddess of the Moon.
He can speak Greek and French
He has small feet and a feminine butt which people are quick to notice, he doesn’t like it when people point it out. In addition, he doesn’t have a lot of facial hair.
He came up with the group’s name of The Jade Owls and named the stolen prison ship, “The Falaina” which is Greek for “Whale”.
He compares his friends, family, and co-workers to Gods and Goddesses from different mythologies.
Russell was often bullied as a child for being Autistic and began to sleep around with his classmates as a result of this, because he wanted to feel accepted and also to numb the pain of the abuse he suffered from his family. He lost count of how many people he slept with; his best guess was 20.
At first Russell was an Anglican, then he converted to Lutheranism, and then Greek Orthodox. Now he is an Agnostic with a strong interest in Hellenism.

Pour comprendre la situation ukrainienne il faut regarder le vote d’hier en Allemagne.
Allemands de l’ouest et de l’est ont été réunis sous le même drapeau il y a 35 ans.
On promettait un mariage d’amour et des lendemains radieux, les seconds accédant au paradis du libéralisme et de la société de consommation dont le joug communiste les avait privés.
L’Allemagne ne ferait plus qu’une, et les divergences culturelles seraient effacées, balayées par les promesses d’aller et venir, d’acheter et de s’enrichir.
Comme à chaque scrutin, les résultats d’hier soir ont fait exploser ce mirage.
Les « allemands de l’ouest » ont voté pour la droite libérale (l’Europe, la mondialisation), tandis que l’Est s’est rué sur l’AfD, le parti de la protection, le parti de la Nation.
Ainsi donc, le confort matériel, le crédit bancaire et les défilés LGBT n’ont pas permis d’unifier deux peuples qui même après la chute du mur ne pensent, ne vivent, et ne votent pas pareil.
Il y a aujourd’hui encore deux Allemagne, comme il y aura toujours deux Ukraine.
Il est totalement illusoire d’imaginer que l’arrimage de force du peuple de l’Est, russophone et orthodoxe ; à celui de Kiev, à l’Europe de Bruxelles, au dollar américain et au mode de vie occidental fabriquera par enchantement une nouvelle Ukraine, une, indivisible et hostile à la Russie.
Dans 40 ans, les babouchka du Dombass parleront russe à leurs petits-enfants, et leurs maris leur enseigneront l’histoire du grand Spartak Moscou.
Les racines et l’âme d’un peuple ne seront jamais solubles dans le capitalisme et le divertissement de masse 🇫🇷

♦ L’Axe de la Résistance : du Dombass à Gaza
Au cours de mon récent voyage vertigineux dans le Donbass à la poursuite des bataillons chrétiens orthodoxes défendant leur terre, Novorossiya, il est devenu évident que la résistance dans ces républiques russes nouvellement libérées mène à peu près la même bataille que ses homologues d’Asie occidentale. Près de dix ans après Maïdan à Kiev et deux ans après le début de l’opération militaire…

Today, Friday, July 28, 2023/ July 15 we celebrate the Great Prince Vladimir, responsible for bringing true faith to Russ.
Troparion Tone IV
Seated on the high throne of Kiev, the mother of cities saved by God,/ thou didst emulate the merchant who sought the goodly pearl,/ O Vladimir glorious in might,/ and examining and sending emissaries to the Imperial City to learn about the Orthodox Faith,/ thou didst find Christ the priceless Pearl, Who chose thee as a second Paul/ and in the holy font removed thy blindness, spiritual and bodily./ Wherefore, we, thy people, celebrate thy repose./ Pray thou, that Russia, thy land, be saved,// and that peace and great mercy be granted to the Orthodox people.
Kontakion, Tone VIII
Emulating the great Apostle Paul in thy maturity, O most glorious Vladimir,/ and putting aside all thy zeal for idols as childish thoughts,/ thou hast adorned thyself with the purple robe of divine baptism./ And standing now in gladness before Christ the Savior,/ pray thou that Russia, thy land, be saved,// and that peace and great mercy be granted to the Orthodox people.
Holy Prince Vladimir, pray to God for us!

Ukraine : des moines orthodoxes de Kiev menacés d'expulsion
En Ukraine, les 300 moines orthodoxes du monastère La Laure des Grottes ont 48 heures pour quitter les lieux. Kiev les soupçonne de sympathies pro-russes, ce qu'ils nient. Le patriarche russe leur a apporté son soutien. Les religieux refusent toujours de partir pour l'instant

TBH I'd make Byzantium the godparent/equivalent in orthodox of Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania and Kievan Russ. Vatican/Papal State is HRE's godparent
I love the contrast between the supposed guiding and caring function of a godparent vs the complicated instances of religion used as foreign influence.
That sounds really cool! I unfortunately don't know where i would even start with those relationships, and I don't know anything about how godparents and such work.
I picked up Byzantine and Kievan-Rus being married from someone else, and as it was my first time seeing oc's for them i'm kinda stuck on it; it's a pretty immovable part of my hc by this point.
Vatican and Holy Rome's relationship swings a bit, but with how i have their personalities, ages, etc... a mentorship of sorts really wouldn't be something either of them would want between each other.
I would absolutely love to hear about it though if you have more ideas about those relationships!

"Nous portons en nous les embryons de la corporéité russe future de la même façon que le corps humain, d'après les enseignements des startsy orthodoxes, porte en lui l'embryon du corps de la renaissance, du "corps de gloire". Il s'agit d'une perspective religieuse vertical."
