The star. A sign. Of decay or unveiling it is up to each of us to choose.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

«In the ecstatic condition of revelation from the subconscious, the mind elevates the sexual or inherited powers (this has no reference to moral theory or practise) and depresses the intellectual qualities. So a new atavistic responsibility is attained by daring to believe — to posses one’s own beliefs — without attempting to rationalize spurious ideas from prejudiced and tainted intellectual sources».

In ancient Rome, the Volcanalia were celebrated on 23th August, in honor of the god Vulcan.

Known in Crete as Velchanos and in Etruria first as Sethlans and then as Velchans.

Vulcan was a deity who personified the destructive fire both in good and in evil and had his altar with a perennial fire, in a place called Vulcanale, where the statue of the god was also present.

To propitiate the god who could be responsible for the fires that threatened to burn the crops in the summer, during the Volcanalia, in his honor, the cruel rite of throwing small fish alive into the fire and of human sacrifices was performed, and some animals with red livery were sacrificed.

Varro attributed to Titus Tazio the introduction of the cult of Vulcan in Rome, which was also in charge of one of the minor flamines, the Flamen Volcanalis.
