Illustration on paper: The taste of love. I have painted this theme many times. I like to use my brush to express this theme. Every time I paint, I feel something new. The media used in the previous works today are cotton paper, acrylic black paint pen, and I used layered rubbing to make the picture look like a print.

"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally

i haven’t heard the myth variation where dionysus is driven mad by agdistis and gets help from cybele, where did you read that one? i’ve always thought agdistis and cybele were almost the same or syncretic deities since the myths i’ve read about them were so similar.

whether Agdistis and Cybele are two separate entities or two names for the same entity varies from myth to myth and region to region - and in yet other versions, Agdistis's forced castration transforms them into Cybele - so your information is good, if perhaps incomplete

I think I first encountered that particular Dionysos story in Raven Kaldera's work - he took some liberties, but it originates in the writing of Arnobius. maybe @flamingkorybante can pull the excerpt for you, I'm having a challenge finding the document but it's in The Case Against the Pagans, book 5 iirc

Rocket and I have had it retold to us via divination and channelling as well but that is UPG and I would not expect others to take that as gospel, more as a point of interest

the article we wrote about these stories in 201...5? is best described as "unhinged" and "scholastically questionable" but it does go into these stories more, if you want that - it's uploaded now on Proton Drive

Clergy in the Archdiocese of Denver are divided over the handling of a controversial “blood oath” ceremony involving a vice rector and seminarians during a ski trip last year. A group of seminarians studying at Denver’s St. John Vianney Theological Seminary were taken on the trip in January 2024 by then-vice rector of the seminary, Fr. John Nepil, during which they were woken in the middle of the night and invited individually to swear a “blood oath” in a ceremony involving a dagger and a man in a yeti costume. During the bizarre ceremony, video of which was sent to The Pillar by multiple sources in the archdiocese, seminarians were told to scream as if in pain before returning with a bloodied cloth wrapped around their hand and their mouths taped shut, to a room where others waited for their turn to be brought in. The Archdiocese of Denver, in a statement to The Pillar, characterized the event as a “farce” and said that “it was, however, part of a deeply imprudent and inappropriate prank,” and that a full investigation had been completed. “The individual responsible has since been removed from his seminary leadership role and has recommitted to his ongoing personal and spiritual formation,” the archdiocese said. The fallout of the event has divided students, faculty, and clergy in the diocese, with videos and images of the event circulating for several months. Fr. Nepil told The Pillar he had “acknowledged [his] imprudence, apologized to the archbishop and the seminarians involved,” and said that while the event was intended as a “prank,” he took responsibility for what had happened.
