The gods Belobog and Chernobog we're a dualistic pair that represented light and dark, good and bad fate respectively in Slavic mythology. It is very possible however that they were never worshipped and misread concepts of a lost pagan practice. #chernobog#belobog#gods#deity#slavicmythology#myth#mythology#slavicfolklore#occult#occultart#darkart#art https://www.instagram.com/p/CU5XJLzLfHt/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Golem. The story goes that, in the 1500s in Prague, the Jewish community was under attack. Rabbi Loew was given a dream vision of the word "amet/emet" or truth, and understood that it was the word that could bring clay to life. He formed a man out of clay and inscribed it's forehead with the amet, bringing to life a golem who would act as a protector of the Jewish quarter #golem#thegolem#amet#rabbiloew#kabbalah#kabbalism#mysticism#myth#mythology#folklore#jewishmysticism#occult#occultart#darkart#esoteric#art https://www.instagram.com/p/CNvw5zLLLfb/?igshid=1a0k7og9xwb90

The "chaoskampf" is a motif in world mythology wherein a deity or culture hero fights against a monster representing chaos, often in the form of a serpent. Here, the Mesopotamian god Marduk fights Tiamat. #marduk#tiamat#chaoskampf#myth#mythology#mesopotamia#mesopotamianmythology#serpent#chaos#occult#occultart#darkart#art https://www.instagram.com/p/CH8yAuArJb0/?igshid=1e7ye81ys8fr0

The cover symbol of Acéphale, a magazine and secret society created by French philosopher Georges Bataille. A big part of the project had to do with reclaiming Nietzschean philosophy from Nazi appropriation and organizing the French resistance. It is my opinion that this should be reclaimed as an antifascist symbol (mostly bc it looks cool) #acephale#acéphale#georgesbataille#bataille#philosophy#nietzsche#antifascist#occult#esoteric#darkart https://www.instagram.com/p/CG4Ka-KLo-R/?igshid=jn17z3kf0o3n
