Solar Mandala - This piece was created by artist @lucianotestipaul , recipient of the solar mandala grant. It’s a conceptual, sculptural interpretation of a solar mandala, inspired in part by the Incas. The artist explains the piece in his artist’s statement, posted today to PH2T3R.com. #ph2t3r #father #art #conveptualart #solarmandala #mandala #solarart #solaridealism

“Consider the symbol of the dragon or the serpen

“Consider the symbol of the dragon or the serpent — or the devouring monster or Jotun — and what it does or threatens. ⁣
⁣
It comes from the darkness of the earth and threatens death by poison or consumption or (in later stories and our modern tales) a reduction to ash by fire. Death is a return to dirt, a return of the differentiated, conscious being to undifferentiated matter. ⁣
⁣
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.”⁣

Fulgurite | It occurred to me during a recent medi

Fulgurite | It occurred to me during a recent meditation that my solar altar needed an element that had been touched by lightning. I did some quick research and discovered fulgurite.⁣
⁣
Fulgurite is sometimes formed when lightning strikes the ground, and its appearance varies according the composition of the ground that absorbed the lightning. It’s easy to find small pieces, though larger and more impressive pieces can be extremely expensive. ⁣
⁣
If you’re constructing an altar for meditation that integrates solar concepts, you may want to consider working it in. Lightning is the weapon of the storm and the sky, associated with Zeus, Indra, Thor, and a wide range of other warrior gods or warrior-king-gods. Fulgurite is one of the few ways you can touch matter that has been altered by this power.⁣ I worked mine into the sand in which I burn incense.

PH2T3R’s second “solar sounds” grant went to

PH2T3R’s second “solar sounds” grant went to Temple Tribe, and today he has released a fantastic single with a solar theme, “From Dusk, New Dawn.” I’ve been psyched about this song since I first heard the demo months ago — it reminds me of opening credits to a Bond film. ⁣
⁣
STATEMENT FROM THE ARTIST⁣
⁣
“The concept of this track is realizing the potential within yourself and striving towards that ideal. What we are trying to do is paint a picture of a dark world (The Empire of Nothing) and have the narrator/protagonist recognize self-reliance as a way to ascend above those circumstances. We’re referencing the concept of fate and destiny in a similar way, metaphorically severing the strings of fate, the threads of a profane path, that have been spun for you to create your own world aimed at your idealized existence.”⁣

The Great Contender ⁣⁣
A poem by @leblanckaleb
⁣⁣
The blasted earth,⁣⁣
Ringed and pitted,⁣⁣
Is but a stage for the great contender⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Unto death,⁣⁣
That tireless foe do I resist,⁣⁣
Forever in contention with mine hands,⁣⁣
And soul⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Though tired and gaunt they may be;⁣⁣
Without end⁣⁣
They are reaching for that enkindled cindering,⁣⁣
That reverent light that spears down ⁣⁣
From whatever holy source⁣⁣
In which it is fanned and fed⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The grey of me has run it’s course,⁣⁣
That tided slough of non-color;⁣⁣
O’ the enormity of it all⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Guide me⁣⁣
O’ radiant luminary⁣⁣
Towards your upper citadels and courts;⁣⁣
Fountain down resplendent glints and gleams⁣⁣
For mine soul to bind to⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Forever⁣⁣

“Mother Earth.” The Babylonian creation story

“Mother Earth.” The Babylonian creation story is a Chaoskampf between an “earth mother,” from which all things emerged, and the soon to ascend Striker, Marduk (or other gods in earlier versions of the story). To create a new order, Marduk must overcome Tiamat and the chaotic monsters she creates to fight him. ⁣
⁣
Following a theme also found in the Germanic lore with the possibly “non-binary” Ymir, the hero Marduk, much like Odin and his brothers, then used pieces of her corpse to make or remake the world before ascending to his position as ruler of the new cosmos. ⁣
⁣
Cosmogonies and traditions vary from time to time and region to region, and one might also look in a Biblical direction for a more solar theme — wherein “natural order” is not a feminine product, but a masculine one. God creates the world, and there is not “Mother Earth.” ⁣
⁣
While the idea of a Mother Earth obviously predates our confused age of daddy issues, I tend to associate most usages of “Mother Earth” with the spoiled, anti-patriarchal and fundamentally Satanic Boomer/X orientations. ⁣
⁣
“Mother Earth” is something to be overcome and managed — possibly appreciated, but worshipped or “served.” It has no “wisdom.” It is absolutely indifferent to the order of man. ⁣

Strike when the Iron is Hot.
Why not another? So this one is actually revisited idea with a little update.
+
Another hex I whipped up today closely related to the Bull Sol hex. This one is the more of the warrior spirit of Thor powered by the solar current, the all father (Odin).
+
In the future I will be making these out leather so keep an eye out. They will be a 12” and hangable. I have a few projects ahead of these to knock out.

Father, Shining Father, I am a man of the sun.⁣
Be my charioteer.⁣
⁣
This is the rough translation of some lines that I have used in ritual. ⁣
⁣
Pátér, Dyéus Pátér ⁣
Egoh hésmi wihrósyo séhwōl,⁣
gwem hésmi ménjos woghós.⁣
⁣
The reference is to the Platonic idea of logos reigning in thumos and appetite, and harnessing the energy of these primal, driving forces in the service of a higher end. ⁣
⁣
Artist Trent Wyczawski sent me this drawing as part of his contribution to the solar flash project, and it reminded me immediately of these lines. ⁣

The bull-sol hex.
+
I designed this for a leather hex and took it a little further on the computer. I used illustrator and added some depth and texture in photoshop.
+
This hex has ancient Grecian, Scandinavian with Pennsylvania Dutch symbolism all in one. Inspired by universal truths that can be found though out cultures and time.
+
Inspired from the writings of @starttheworld and the artwork of hexologist @thehexfactory go check these guys out!

Each man, once initiated into death, is charged wi

Each man, once initiated into death, is charged with pushing the stone. The stone itself is neither good or bad, vindictive or benevolent. It is a stone. Perhaps even a stone-cold fact. Its meaning is given only by the man charged with pushing it. His happiness, anger, defeatedness, or triumph is his choice alone. The stone, and how he chooses to view it, is in his hands alone.⁣⁣

In your hands alone.⁣⁣

I recently posted an essay about opposition on the PH2T3R site. So much of the opposition I see is as base and vapid as the culture it claims to abhor. I was having a meeting with my friend @tannerguzy the other day, and I was describing the gist of the essay (which I had just posted). I was talking about “lowercase ‘s’ satanism.” And Tanner, who is a Mormon, replied, “of course, because Satan can’t create, he can only invert.” And we nodded in agreement. These sad sack cultures that look like rebellion are merely adolescent forms of inversion. “They don’t like this, so I’m going to do exactly that — regardless of its inherent value, beauty, or overall effect.” We need a new vision, a new virtuosity, a place to “grow up” to, when we’re done with our angry and ugly graffiti. #rebellion #opposition #aesthetics

Make the Mind into an image of that Cup, where its surface is level, still, and open only to that which is above- the Solar Force.⁣
⁣
As the babbling surface structure of the Mind’s inner thoughts and utterances stills, a previously hidden dimension reveals itself, not only as a image of a “Sun Within” reflect upon the surface (which was earlier only perceived as an external “Sun Without”) but also an awareness of the Cup’s hidden depth – the mythic dimension of the Individual’s unconscious Mind.⁣
