Nesseti (make the angels die)

Nesseti (make the angels die)
15”x20”
watercolor

The living doll spirit of Nesseti appears like an apparition called forth by the hooded figure, one of the Maleficium Cultus. The Angel is captured and choked to death while silver grey fox familiars called forth from the void nip and tear at its legs.  The manifestations of pure hate and malice.  The evergreen tree displays its ancient symbols free from the clutches and falseness of Christian viruses. A rebirth and clarity without morals. It is finally a Silent Night where no angel sings and the gods run wild and free.

This artwork was created as both a sigil and a curse against the tainted religion forced upon us. Morals that mean nothing to me and mean nothing to the enormity of nature itself.

ectoplasm ... sweet dreams

I have been always fascinated with the fine line between sleep, death, and dream. The world that lies beyond this one and some things can be created to exist almost eternally.  An existence that increases in power and beauty yet lures the mind through the idea of fragility and innocence.  What can lurk behind the eyes of these creations can be overwelming and malicious in a good way.

Beltane/Samhain ... Sex and Death

The tangible and visible dance of life celebrated at Beltane clearly grows from the dissolution, 
the dance of death and transformation at Samhain.


It is Beltane in the Southern Hemisphere, the season of sweet desire for being. That desire which holds all form together and allows the dance of life. In the Northern Hemisphere it is Samhain, the season of celebrating the falling apart of all form, the end of desire which allows death and transformation.

At these cross-quarters "the veil is thin that divides the worlds."

Recent scientific studies indicate that organic life may be born from inorganic matter. Particles of plasma, normally considered inorganic, can undergo self-organization resulting in helical structures that become charged and are attracted to each other, thus taking on qualities of living matter — they are "autonomous, they reproduce and they evolve".

Post-mortem photography, particularly of children

Post-mortem photography, particularly of children seems to retain a sense of mystery and a doll like atmosphere. There is a sense that the body has become a material to be recreated and dressed much like they would have liked to have seen the child in life. A sort of nostalgic recollection etched into memory.. more real in death then in life. Many comments have been made on the subject.. some related to the fact that these are just dead children.. and that is all.. no sense of putting an atmosphere around it that wasn't there. This is true in a sense.. it is nothing more then that for some people living today (much like an actual haunted house is no more then a house), but back then in the 19th century there was a very big search and quest to see and speak with the dead.. to touch the spirits that seemed to live with us yet separate. Living with the dead was something that was seen by all to be a part of their lives.. and something not to be parted with or thrown aside.. a keep sake... something to hold dear.. There was a sense that the dead bodies retained some sense of soul.. some sort of spirit and atmosphere... a haunted feeling.. a similarity in part to dolls possibly..

(most of these images may have been seen over and over.. but i picked out certain ones to pinpoint the look and feeling of how close the reference is to : a doll, the look of the living compared to the dead, angelic, a sense of a presence within the body, a haunted atmosphere)
