Maybe this is a silly question to ask, and I know the people who run this blog are very busy, but I was wondering what your thoughts were!

Aurora has said each album she plans on making is going to be different from the things she's made before. It SEEMS like she's getting ready for her next evolution!! Different styles of clothes worn in shows. New merch drop with the weirdos and warriors! Do you have any thoughts on where we may be headed? Any theories or things you hope happen?

Thank you guys so much for all the hard work you do keeping us up to date here. Love you!!

Hello, lovely warrior!

It's actually a very good question and I appreciate the way you treated my time here and overall your consideration! <3

I have already answered a question on Step3 last February [link] but everything that went on since then and the newer interviews made me think of other speculiations.

It might still be Step 3 in a way how suddenly Step 1 and 2 are re-released + new redisign still has hints towards these eras + her current outfits hint more towards the past + new merch style might be a hint + the long ago pinned post with the dragon might be a hint as well. I can't understand for sure whether it was Step 3 that she referred to as an album for dealing with the grief with a song ‘A Different Kind of Human’ being a hint towards the direction (and I would personally need such album the most after what I have been going through) but either way the mood of the upcoming album will be opposite:

“It is crazy […] that our worth is defined by something we can measure in numbers. Like our fortune, our followers or our weight or our height. It’s just crazy how we let these numbers decide so much, when they are so meaningless. I’m heading towards this direction on my next album again. So my fifth album… or fourth… is this my third? (laughs) Well, my next album is going to be inspired by this. And this album now ("The Gods We Can Touch") is kind of a bridge over to that. It’s about reminding ourselves of the value we have within us, about the powers we have. Love, and also it’s all about the small, simple things. It has nothing to do with our phones, with success, even with God. It’s just you and me, right here, right now. We’re just floating on a rock in space, so it doesn’t matter if I have a pimple on my cheek today. Because – who cares? It’s about thinking really big and really small at the same time (laughs).”

- AURORA on her next album in the interview for FastForward Magazine by Gabi Rudolph (January 27th, 2022)

It will be a really fun album *smiles widely*.”

- AURORA on her next album in the interview for ba.no, translated by aurora.puppet (February 2nd 2022)

“A Little Place Called The Moon" is the perfect ending. You have to wait so long for the final release where I finally come in again. I like the patience of it, it offers you one last breath before it all ends and disappears into the sky. And it’s a really good bridge to my next album. No [I can’t tell a bit more about it]!

AURORA on a significance of “A Little Place Called The Moon” as the connection to the next album in the interview for Official Charts (January 26th 2022)

"People like, or aliens like, I don't know myself... Ok, creatures like yourself that sing together in harmony, it's very gorgeous isn't it? I have started my next album! It has a lot of people's voices."

- AURORA before performing "The Innocent" @ Paradiso, Amsterdam (September 3rd 2022)

And there's something very interesting about a possible on that album song:

"I have a song out there I think that has taken me 10 years, this is the longest. It will be on my next album, it has taken so many years. But finally I've gone through what I wrote about. For the first time, so I understand the song more, as from the inside it was easier. So one song for my next album."

- AURORA in an open interview session with Bergen Bibliotek filmed by abaddonna (November 3rd 2022)

It is certainly connected to the song she has already described in 2016:

"I have a song now that I've been working on since I was 16, but I haven't found the right words to finish it. I know it will be a good song when it's perfect, but I'm just looking for one line in the fourth verse to complete it. And in four years, I haven't found that line yet."

- AURORA in an interview for Vice (March 11th 2016)

Whatever AURORA has in store I'm impatiently looking forward to this, I believe and see her artistic growth and that excites me a lot!

Although both Celestia and Luna were confident that they could send a substantial pile of what they had baked whither they wanted, and they were willing to try it to ease Spike's heart, they admitted that they did not know if it was such a wise idea; so they politely asked the Young Dragon for some time, and promised to let him know before lunch, when they had found and enchanted the two mirrors.

With a quiet sigh, Spike nodded to the Princesses, as he understood that he would know in due time, and he followed them and Stygian as they trotted around the Palace, looking in every Hall for a big mirror, his mind focused solely on their friends' well-being; but when Twilight noticed his pensive looks, she sweetly lifted him on her and Solar's back, and asked him if they could help in any way.

After some hesitation, Spike admitted that his mind was burdened with worries for the others, since he knew how treacherous the Dragon Lands could be, and he feared that they had left the Empire with far too little time to prepare; and as he turned away in shame, he said that he should have offered to guide them, even if only to the Dragons' lair, from whence they could travel onward to the East.

The courage in his heart and his words far outshone the shame he felt over not helping, and as they gently brushed his cheek with their wing, Eclipse told Spike that he should not see himself in such a bad light; for while he might believe he had let down the others, they promised that nopony would fault him for it, as he still clearly wanted to help out by sending them their freshly baked goods.

As Spike looked up at them again, both Solar and Twilight smiled warmly in return, before they told him that if they could not send them anything, they would find a way to preserve everything that he and Stygian had made for them; and when they could receive magically translocated items once again, they would make sure their package was the first thing they got, even if it exhausted them in turn.

To their relief, a smile grew upon Spike's face again, and he thanked Eclipse for their kind words, to which they merely nuzzled his nose, when Stygian trotted into a Hall they passed, and asked them to wait for a moment; and he gestured for them to enter, as he wanted to see if the mirror in front of him was large enough, but he already confirmed that it was before they even made it to his side.

When Celestia and Luna walked up to stand next to Stygian, they found they could only see the upper edge of the mirror when they looked up as well, and they nodded to each other, and thanked the Grey Unicorn for his keen eye; and as Stygian started to blush, he chuckled, and told the two Princesses he was joyous to hear they were content with the mirror, before asking them what the next step was.

After Luna gave her Sister the small mirror, Celestia told him there was little more they could do, as her spell was easy to cast, even though she had never before cast it on any mirror of this size; the hardest part, she added, was to make sure that the mirror was teleported to Ponyville without a scratch, for which she kindly asked them for their help, but that of Eclipse and Spike most of all.

Both the Two-Headed Alicorn and the Dragon on their back were caught off-guard by Celestia's words, but after they managed to get their thoughts in order, they asked her how they could help her, only to be politely asked in return what Eclipse had told the Pillars in their letter; for they knew the Palace in Ponyville better than anybody, and she wanted them to think of the Hall they wrote about.

Fortunately for Celestia, as she cast her Speculis Spell on the two mirrors, Eclipse said that they asked the Pillars to go to the Hall with the Map of Friendship, to which she briefly nodded, before she walked away; but Celestia scared the others when she suddenly appeared in the Mirror, for which she apologised, whereafter she asked Luna to hold the small Mirror, and Eclipse and Spike to focus.

As Eclipse and Spike thought about the Hall, the others closed their eyes, and their horns glowed.

At that moment, they noticed a slight feeling of homesickness grow within them…

My final Lindeapir quote is by the rock singer Michael Lee Aday, professionally known as Meat Loaf.

English:

"As most people know, I am a vampire, so I have no reflection.

Every day, I paste a picture of someone else on the mirror."

Lindeapir:

“As meisten personşi saber, eu fi apir, so eu net imet reflecți.

Tagomni, eu pegaruk imagen de cinewelse en speculi.”

Qui sumus? Facies et vita!

29 Augusti 2023

Videtur quod in novo ordine planetae effingatur quomodo poenitentia sine relatione mendacii, facies et mors una sint integra. Conabimur inquirere an non sint sed aliquo modo aequales sensui reprimendi; Visionem propriae faciei et oculorum aliorum experientiam decisivam esse pro homine iam noto cum ichi, qui sui ipsius non est dominus, aperio, proprie et sine volios Certe omnes res alienae sunt et cum singulis communicant. alius, sed solus homo facit voltas hango filii sui agnitionis et veritatis, homo est animal, quod ad speculum agnoscit fugam suam, et speculatur et reconciliatur in volatu elemosine. Mitas, similitudo et simultas, esse memes hominum.

Hisce logo politica. Si homines semper et solum informationes commutaverunt, semper hoc et illud, numquam progressio politica fuisset, sed patientia nuntiis commutatio, sed cum homines maxime communicarent suam apertionem, inter se recognitionem vehnt; voltus ipsa rerum politicarum conditio est, in qua omnia, quae homines dicunt, commutantur, innititur

In hoc sensu, voluntas est vera civitas hominum, elementum politicum per excellentiam. Et vultus ad se mutuo, eas agnosco et flagrantes fiunt inter se, similitudinem et differentiam percipiunt, distantiam et primam Si per politicam animalis, hoc est, quia animalia, quae semper iam in aperto sunt, non faciunt suum. ex zime problema, simpliciter habitat sine cura. Ideo in speculis imaginis non quaero imaginem. Homo autem vult seipsum agnoscere et agnosci, suam imaginem appropriare vult, veritatem suam in nobis quaerit. Hoc modo mutat animali ambitum in mundum campum assidui politici dialectici

Patria quae suum vodi prie com chere in omni loco abrenuntiare statuit, ignavos suos cives allos, quae omnem rationem politicam ex se rescindunt. In hac paris ut, igitte subiectis limitibus dicionis, singuli nunc ab invicem seiunctis moventur, qui proximum sensitivum fundamentum communitatis amiserunt et solum nuntiis directis permutare possunt nomini quod nullam amplius faciem habet. Et cum homo sit ens politicum, etiam politica dissolutio significat vitae amotionem, puer qui nascendo non amplius patitur suffragium matris suae periclitatur ne amplius affectus humanos concipere possit.

Nec minoris momenti necessitudo cum fuga hominibus est cum mortuis necessitudo. Homo, animal quod se in sua cute agnoscit, solum animal est, quod cultum montium celebrat. Xos mirum est igitur quod mors etiam intercessit, et quod deletio cryptae iunctim cum morte sublata est. Romae, per ima eius, platinum et ceram pictam, quae singulae familiae in atrio domus suae servantur, martyrium fecit. Id est, liber homo definitur tam participatione politicae vitae quam per gi, inalienabile ius deorum fugae custodiendi et publice in festivitatibus communibus exhibere. mortuorum in reliquiario ligneo, et haec imago est facies ces simili similitudine factae tam pro forma quam pro colore societatis et solidarietatis inter viviei mortis, inter praeteritos et praesentes, quae pars erat vitae integralis. c Propterea tantam partem in re publica luserunt, adeo ut affirmare potuerit ius imaginum officinarum mearum in quibus ius viventium fundatur, id est etiam. verum quisquis gravis publici criminis reus ius imaginis amiserit. Legenda habet, quod Remulus cum condidit Rama in sv Sosadetta mundum, mundum, in quo ipse et singuli socii sui manipulum terrae eiciunt. diebus autem homo, qui erat mortuus, venit in civitatem et in vita eius interfuit. Mundus autem est signaculum per quod vivos et mortuos et passat

Intelligi potest cur mundus sine facie non possit esse nisi mundus si mi, Sei vividono los volt, mortui solum facti sunt, qui, quia ad puram vitam biologicam redacti sunt, deco- lutum sol et sine funeribus, si locum spectent. ubi ante quamlibet orationes cum hominibus nostris communicamus, tunc etiam viventes, cum facie privantur relatione, irreparabiliter soli sunt, quantumcumque dormiunt cum instrumentis digitalibus.

E' giusto punire la veggente di Trevignano e il marito; ma questa regola deve valere per chiunque speculi sull'altrui debolezza: astrologi, cartomanti e anche sacerdoti delle varie religioni, perché quando si chiedono soldi o beni o si manipola la volontà, è sempre truffa.

[polvodeli]

Le conseguenze dell'alcool sul nostro cervello si protraggono quasi oltre un mese e mezzo dopo aver consumato l'ultimo bicchiere; le aree più colpite sono il lobo frontale e l'emisfero destro.

L'alcool è una droga, una sostanza tossica: è salubre solo per il viticoltore, per chi lo vende; per il politico che non lo fa etichettare adeguatamente: per chiunque speculi (anche indirettamente, in campo medico e di assistenza alle tossicodipendenze) sulla salute altrui.

I locali pubblici sono luoghi dove gli adulti, ordinariamente, anche davanti a minori, si drogano, cioè fumano e/o bevono alcool . Il primo posto dove i bambini vengono a contatto con le droghe (alcool, tabacco), prima della Società, è proprio la famiglia.

Bar, cantine, supermercati, sono luoghi di spaccio droga, dove si vende alcool; e chiunque, in modo plateale o indiretto, sostenga per lucro il consumo di alcool (usato pure durante cerimonie religiose) è definibile quale 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲, così quanto per il tabacco.

Tutto ciò che alteri le nostre percezioni può essere definito droga: è irragionevole e mistificatorio quel distinguo operato da alcune testate giornalistiche, fra 'incidente per consumo di alcool' e 'incidente per consumo di droga', dissociandolo, inopportunamente, da ciò che non è ancora legale.

Se vendiamo qualcosa senza indicare le possibili conseguenze nocive, stiamo facendo una frode - ed è questo il caso di tutti i Paesi che non fanno scrivere la corretta dicitura sulle bevande alcoliche, sulle etichette e in menù al ristorante - Italia compresa. Scrivere che l'alcool è una droga, una sostanza tossica, che danneggia la salute non è una frode: è la verità.

Sotto attacco non sono il vino o la birra, ma la salute di molti giovani ai quali neanche in famiglia viene detto che l'alcool è sostanza tossica che nuoce gravemente alla salute; e non una cultura, non il contorno nutriente d'un pasto, non il regalo ideale da ricevere e fare.

Non esiste alcun basso rischio sul consumo di alcool, oggi, in una società che ti forza a berlo per motivi culturali, per festeggiare qualcosa, brindare a un traguardo, e pure lo usa nelle cerimoniere religiose; c'è alcool anche nelle merendine dei bimbi, come conservante.

Non si possono fare tabelle generiche indicanti 'basso rischio' sul consumo di alcool; la posologia d'una droga che porta dipendenza non può basarsi su genere sessuale ed età; ogni individuo è unico: peso, altezza, stato di salute fisico e mentale, Cultura e pure condizioni sociali: i figli con genitori tossicodipendenti tendono ad imitare il loro comportamento.

Il fumo da tabacco causa danni irreversibili al cervello: l'assottigliamento dello strato più esterno della materia grigia cerebrale; anche nel caso in cui si smetta di fumare, per poterlo recuperare si impiegano diversi anni. L'acrilammide, sostanza presente nel caffè, è cancerogena; il caffè causa palpitazioni e disturbi del ritmo cardiaco; porta a tremori, insonnia, acidità di stomaco e ipereccitabilità, nonché a stati depressivi e ipertensione. Anche il caffè è una droga, una sostanza tossica.

Il governo italiano si prodiga, invece, molto per difendere con le unghie il consumo di alcool  interno, partecipando pure a fiere del vino: il loro 'valore' è difendere una sostanza altamente tossica; una droga che fa migliaia di vittime, fra incidenti, violenza e malattie - giovani compresi.

La pubblicità sull'alcool afferma che l'alcool faccia bene, solo perché lo vuole vendere. Il medico che dica "un bicchiere di vino fa bene", non è un medico, non è soggetto che segua la scienza, ed è bene cambiarlo, perché potrebbe fare danni alla salute anche in altri frangenti.

Sconsigliare il consumo d'una droga, d'una sostanza tossica come l'alcool, anche sui social - frequentati pure dai più giovani, è da Persone Civili e in linea con la Scienza: non si può fare pubblicità a sostanze tossiche, soprattutto in presenza di soggetti fragili. Sui social, chiunque, labile, può leggere le idiozie che si scrivono a favore del consumo di alcool, prenderle sul serio e iniziare a consumarlo, rovinando la propria salute ingerendo una sostanza tossica, che provoca tolleranza e, quanto altre droghe, l'aumento di consumo.

Una Persona, sul suo corpo, può fare quello che vuole, per suo piacere personale; ma bere alcoolici sapendo bene cosa si consuma (droga) e le conseguenze che può portare è ben altro dall'essere spinti con forza a bere alcolici da tutta un'invasiva propaganda a favore dell'alcool.

Archipelago is a deceitful creature called a speculus that is bound to a cursed mirror. ‘Simon Archipelago’ is not its true name. It previously dwelled alone in a small realm within the mirror. Naturally, it is formless; and it only assumes a form when someone looks in the mirror, at which point it matches that person’s appearance. In other words, the person’s reflection isn’t truly a reflection. It is the speculus, looking back at them, matching their movements perfectly.

Or... near perfectly. Sometimes it still ends up looking a little uncanny in places; a little off.

Many years ago, an unlucky antique shop owner found its mirror. Someone had left it outside his store. He liked the mirror’s appearance. It was an antique — dusty and well-worn, with a curving and silvery frame — and he decided to keep it.

The antique shop owner was lonely. So lonely. He’d grown apart from his friends and his few remaining family members and hadn’t seen them in years. And because of his terrible loneliness, when his reflection in the peculiar mirror spoke to him, he didn’t shatter the glass right away. A fateful decision. Instead, he listened to his reflection. It introduced itself as a docile entity trapped inside the mirror. It spoke in soft, soothing words. It comforted the man and offered him advice as time went on; it listened when the man needed someone to talk with. The shop owner decided not to sell the mirror. He kept it for himself, and he grew to trust his reflection. He considered it harmless, well-meaning. A friend.

And one day, his reflection asked for a favor. A simple favor. The first favor the entity had ever asked the man for. ‘It is so unbearably lonely, being trapped inside this mirror. I have been stuck in here for so long. Please, will you help me escape?’ And the antique shop owner felt a vague sense of dread, but ignored it. This was his friend. He wanted to help.

So, he followed his reflection’s instructions. He did the ritual. He gave the speculus his name: Simon Archipelago. And in return, the creature dragged the man into the mirror and trapped him there. It switched places with him, keeping the man’s name and appearance. It took over the shop owner’s life.

Normal humans cannot survive within a speculus’ cursed mirror for long. The old antique shop owner never escaped, and died years ago. Fortunately, the mirror realm absorbs deceased remains, so this wasn’t much of a problem. Meanwhile, “Simon Archipelago” has discovered that he enjoys antiques a great deal. He is very pleased with his job, and he intends to keep it for many, many years to come.

Crisanti non ci sta: «Reinventano la storia per propaganda» «Mi sembra che si stia reinventando la storia per fini propagandistici. Da parte mia in questa squallida polemica non voglio entrarci nemmeno, io faccio il ricercatore». Andrea Crisanti, responsabile del Laboratorio di Microbiologia e Virologia dell’Azienda ospedaliera di Padova, parlando all’Adnkronos Salute si dice «veramente amareggiato» per quello che in queste ore è diventato un caso. Una battaglia mediatica che ruota intorno alla ‘paternità’ del modello veneto sui tamponi per la diagnosi di Covid-19, risultato vincente nella gestione della fase 1 dell’emergenza coronavirus. «I tentativi di appropriarsi di qualcosa di non tuo sono meschini”, osserva Crisanti. “Evidentemente c’è un dividendo politico da incassare». «Ho letto che la dottoressa Russo – ricostruisce il virologo dell’università di Padova riferendosi a Francesca Russo, capo del Dipartimento di Prevenzione della Regione Veneto – aveva un piano tamponi il 31 gennaio e questa è una baggianata. Lei questo piano non ce l’aveva, non c’era proprio l’obiettivo di cercare i pazienti asintomatici», sostiene lo scienziato. Tant’è, riferisce, che «l’8 febbraio il suo Ufficio mi ha impedito di fare i tamponi alle persone che tornavano dalla Cina perché non era previsto dalle linee guida del Governo. Mi hanno anche minacciato di danno erariale». «Il piano che ho visto della dottoressa Russo del 31 gennaio era quello del ministero della Salute, secondo cui i tamponi andavano fatti solo ai sintomatici – afferma Crisanti – Poi, presi dal panico, il 21-22 febbraio hanno fatto la scelta giusta ossia quella di tamponare bene. Ma non è stata una scelta sistematica – precisa – bensì una cosa occasionale di cui non hanno compreso il significato scientifico ed epidemiologico. Poi – ricorda il virologo – il 27-28 febbraio ho telefonato a Zaia ed è iniziato il vero piano tamponi del Veneto. Possono dire quello che vogliono, ma la realtà è questa». «I fatti parlano chiaro e non ho bisogno di alimentare nessuna polemica», incalza il ricercatore che trova la vicenda «davvero deprimente», ma si dice «pronto a mostrare le carte: se vogliono che mostri tutta la documentazione lo farò, anche se preferirei non arrivare a questo punto». «Chi ha combattuto per fare tamponi agli asintomatici?», chiede Crisanti. «Se ne escono adesso, 2 mesi e mezzo dopo, e reinventano la storia per fini propagandistici», commenta lo scienziato. «Il 31 gennaio – ripete – la dottoressa Russo non aveva nulla che prevedesse l’infezione degli asintomatici come vettore della trasmissione. E’ una cosa che abbiamo scoperto noi», puntualizza e conclude: «Sono veramente desolato che per fini politici si speculi sulla sofferenza delle persone e di migliaia di morti». (Vvox.it)

The origins of the self-care movement are far more political than a quick perusal of Goop or mindbodygreen would have you believe. The term self-care actually began in the radical-feminist health clinics of the late ’60s, when a group of women in California stole some plastic speculi and set out on a school bus to educate women in their own anatomy (a small mirror was often distributed as well) and also to perform pelvic exams on each other at a moment when the gynecological profession was almost entirely dominated by men. It was also popularized in community health centers founded by the Black Panther Party in Oakland, California, places established to help populations ignored by the medical Establishment. It had nothing to do with massages or manicures. It was about looking out for your community when no one else would do it for you.

This drawing of Trethevy Quoit in Cornwall is from a unique manuscript by John Norden. Surveyor to Elizabeth I (1533-1603), Norden visited this Neolithic burial chamber in 1584 as part of a survey of the county. The manuscript of his survey, entitled Speculi Britanniae pars, or a topographical and historical description of Cornwall, by the perambulacion, view and delineacion of John Norden, was presented to Elizabeth’s successor James I (1566-1625) in 1604. It was published long after Norden’s death in 1728.
