Starting as a sketch sometime in July 2022, this meandered into quite a long and building meditation on empathy, compassion, growth, and understanding.

Dedicated to King Purson, this digital painting rendered entirely in Clip Studio Paint Pro has been a stark juxtaposition to my typical creative workflow. Spanning over the course of months until its completion almost a year later, the spirit has taken its time to wring substance from the fruits of such work as visions, dreams, meditations, to bring forth its essence from crushed flowers and grapes for the creatively possessed to imbue the clean slate with.

This was, in part, working with the inspiration for the flower symbology of the peony and the orchid. The orchid is associated with this spirit already. The peony, however, is associated in part with the myth of Asclepius' best student, Paeon. In short, mentor was jealous after noticing his best student outshining him. Instead of anything else, Asclepius was transformed by compassion into the flower so that others may look upon him as they did to his student.

And for what emerges, is this final product. I also have a progress folder linked below to Imgur. This is available now as a print on the link attached to my INPRNT.

Hi there, for a long time I always knew of Tumblr and made mostly dusty accounts that I used to even barely lurk. Over the years I never really saw much value in social media, but I do like the positives of it, even if sometimes the negatives are overwhelming. It has a lot of connotations for me, and I wish to avoid any matter of politics on this account for now.

The type of content I will be posting here will be in a more closely-knit journal format to catalogue not only my own personal experiences in a more accessible way, but to also connect to others or provide information for topics maybe less talked about or mentioned. I once had a Wordpress blog some years ago, and wish to continue that work on a more customizable platform.

Here you shall see shared information from other websites and platforms that sum up my research or ponderings and interests, some UPG, philosophy, metaphysics & spirituality, myriad of religious paths and practices, art(by me or otherwise stated), psychology and sciences, among other things.

I am a married 24 yr old Piscean sun, Gemini moon & ascendant with an interest in anything under the sun & over the moon. I am a hermit with a cat and a nomadic lifestyle, such as that of the butterfly that never lands. My name comes from a constructed language made with my husband that literally means “Sun/flower, Swan”. I would further describe myself as having priority interests in neoplatonism and monism and such else philosophical foundations, hellenismos, nature, music, and walking meditations outdoors. Some of my favorite music/groups are Alice in Chains, Slipknot, Boy Harsher, Viagra Boys, The Doors, Minimal Synth, Punk, Amyl and the Sniffers, Gojira, Courtney Barnett, Kurt Vile, Stone Temple Pilots, Eivør, Stone Sour, etc.

Usually I am solitary with my beliefs & practices and my time on social media (or in public) will vary with consistency. Take what you will of my content, but please try to credit me somewhere. I also frequent discord, twitter, instagram, and VR Chat. I am always looking for wisdom in peculiar places, and better yet—interesting people in worser places.
