“This latter Lord is not the Absolute and Unknown Deity who contains the Universe within Himself, but a Logos who is connected with the procreation of species of a Planet or Globe. He becomes the Father of All, and between Him and the Infinite Deity stretches an Abyss; the Great Deep; the Great Mystery. And between Him and the Supreme Deity, there is the Hidden Logos; the Lord of that Kosmos.” -Jean Michaud, The Golden Star
Solar Logos Talon Abraxas

The Sinners Movie was overall Dope. Definitely was a movie designed to appreciate your heritage that stems from black people hailing in America🌎
One thing I found interesting is Ryan Coogler inspiration for the twins aspect. As seen above he mentions how he was inspired by the Yoruba Twin dieties Ibeji. He also mentioned it resonates because he has twins within his family. I also had that in common as well. My Paternal 2x Great Grandpa was a twin and helped raised my Papa(Paternal Grandfather) . And on my mother's side I was told there were 7/8 sets of twins . Now I will say not all made it to full term but I know of at least 3 sets of twins I knew and my mother grew up with. Definitely a dope aspect overall

The photos that NASAHubble & NASAWebb took of The Pillars of Creation inspired me deeply. I had to draw what I saw in the formation: A hand reaching into the universe. What an accomplishment for humankind and what a symbol for exploration and knowledge. Credit 2nd image: NASA

In Louisiana, black women were put in cells with male prisoners and some became pregnant.
All children born in the penitentiary to blacks were property of the state.
At 10 years, they would be auctioned off. The proceeds were used to fund schools for white children.
Before the Civil War, most prisoners in the South were white. The punishment of enslaved African Americans was generally left up to their owners. Louisiana, however, did imprison enslaved people for "serious" crimes, generally involving acts of rebellion against the slave system.
A number of these imprisoned slaves were women. Penitentiary records show a number of women imprisoned for "assaulting a white," arson, or attempting to poison someone, most likely their enslavers.
Some of these female prisoners became pregnant, either by fellow inmates or prison officials. In 1848, state legislatures passed a law declaring that all children born in the penitentiary to African Americans serving life sentences would become property of the state.
The women would raise the children inside the prison until the age of 10, at which point they would be auctioned on the courthouse steps.
Many of the buyers were prison officials, including heads of the company that ran the penitentiary. The proceeds were used to fund schools for white children.
