“O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven,...” the eternal beauty of the Queen of Space shines through her chosen Priestess.

There was great ceremony and due diligence to bring the light of the Aeon to burn amongst the congregation. After the mass we took a little time to create some photographic records. Here in these pictures the eternal beauty of the Queen of Space shines through her chosen Priestess. The individual pictures have been set here to share the light from that day.

Please follow the link to the film on Flickr immediately below.

Lewis Chess Pieces 3D Model of the Complete Set

 

The designs in this detail are stunning. The repairs and ageing show the life of these horded pieces once treasured and kept safe in a never retrieved stash that instead became a fearful fairy court and then a historic find a point of plunder and now they are respected and revered in a state of preservation possibly only surviving by not being retrieved and used for their original intention?

I adore the pieces as they are and I am happy to contemplate their journey that continues on and on in fresh presentations, through news reports, reproduction and in replica.

Note 4 Throne shows a great repair.

4 Throne
Part of the throne has been attached separately by ivory pegs, perhaps because it broke while it was being carved.

Pneuma and Exudation releasing spirit and soul leaving the body less whole

The body takes in inspiration and sustenance. The body gives off reflection and the body release spirit and soul as we connect with the everything that makes us whole. Not by any known universal measure do we deliver and receive pleasure. Take note of the breath and give voice to song to acknowledge the truth where we belong. To some, happy laughter is living and sad crying is dying. To some, there is a focus on the rhythm of heart and lung to reach out and extend the length, breadth and depth of pulse, beat and breath they will have sung a refrain again and again to failingly embrace all that they have freely, or jealously clung.

The initially window in front of the lens held my perspiration and that was transforming the image. Light was giving strange penumbra to the moisture and individual spheres were forming and growing out of the cloudy layer making new demi spheres and building up exiting ones. To add to the moist expression on the pane I issued breath and watched the two forms of moisture make a pattern that would bring excellent diffusion of light through moisture which would create great photographic images for me. The initial heat in me was creating a very temporary transformation through which I was able to photograph the much more stable world outside the window. The tree in the images shows that in the much more fixed scene outside there is growth with young green shoots and leafs. There is the yearly seasonal cycle that will soon bring the onset of Autumn the time of year when this tree will shed leafs and they will go through a colour change as they end their connection with the tree. The leafs will shortly begin turning from supple vibrant green through to brittle brown. The stark branches of the tree with survive through Winter and in spring they will be the frame that holds the new fresh green leaf growth building up the image of the seemingly Summer stable blossoming boughs. From perspiration changing the view through the window pane the image itself called for breath and certain thoughts of transition began, they continued to keep developing and fortunately they have not stopped.
