Happy 66 Birthday to Josie Lawrence.

"   oh my god. where do i even start? over 6'4"   —   too much of an ego. under 5'8"   —   not enough of one. bankers. line cooks. any other restaurant position is okay. people who overpronounce italian dishes when they're speaking english to sound cultured. if any man is way too into astrology, or way too against it. republicans. alcoholics. even a functional one, grace. and i say that because i know you.   " 

  〝   no motorcycles.   no baby mamas.   〞   her fingers cross behind her back,   at least for the second one.   〝   i'm gonna assume no drug dealers is a given but,  〞   grace grins.  〝   i know you have a whole list of genres of men to avoid.   so what is it  ?  〞

[diana-andraste]

In Roman mythology, the golden rod that allowed Aeneas and the prophetess Sibyl to cross to Hades was a branch of mistletoe.

I'm on vacation for a week, and while my destination is a far better place than Hades, one never knows who one might see in the next seat over.

English explanation of signs will be under the cut--beneath the Irish.

Míníonn an Doe cad as a dtagann sí agus cén fáth go n-éiríonn sí san Oíche den chaid is mó. Rugadh ar an ngelach í. Mar leanbh gealaí tá sí os comhair réalta na maidine agus oi bríonn sí i groinne draíocht chun on Meisias a chosaint.

Bíonn Doe le feiceáil lena fenn sainiúil ar lasadh--ní raibh mé einnte cad is aiis leis sín Creidim gur rabhadh é seo a bhaineann leis an spiorad naounh agus éirí amach na marbh.

Déanann Doe caoineacdh m'easumhlachd agus an suithheadh atá le tacht ar son an domhain-molann sí mé chun gnimh. Tá a fhios agam nach féidirleon. Ach iarran sí orm orcas agus gan dula chodlaoh. Chun gniomhá or bhás ag teacht. Meisiasa thabhairt chun a chuspóir.

Sampla de na mairbh agus a reachtanaas oerach.

Meabhrúchán ar hamlinté atá ag titim as a chéile, lena n-áiritear amlinte ALfa, Bunscoile, agus Órga a bhaineann le héabhlóid mé féin go Macalla, Ocrais, nó Ascended. (Is tuar níos oimhe níos sine í seo nach mór amhiniu uair elle)

Taispeánann Doe í féin leadharca laasracha angus clóca suíle. Tá si at afire angus at cosaint dom í rith an hamlinte chun né a bheannú. Fiú má bhí né ag mí-iompar den chuid is mó.

Fulaingt an march in Ifreann a mheabhraíonn Doe dom go bhféadfainn die ready a chur leis and tascannanach ndéanfaídh mé.

Níos marbh

Comharthaí lobhadhi *súile brevity (féach orthodontist see ionam féin angus a ngaolta—ciallaíonn sé breoiteacht, olc, easpa cosanta)

Caireadhchun athbhreith an Mheisias a Chríochnú ó sofa go diaga.

Arís ag impí orm an rad nach ndéanfaidh mé a dhéanamh.

Meabhraítear gurb é an Melissa’s a lean hour agus cé go bhfuil fears uirithi teastoionn uaithi abhaile é.

Foirm leathfior Messiah.

Na Mairbh ionam agus na hamlintie a rialaíonn mé. Tá Doe ag iamaidh orm iad a shaoradh.

Mo chimiúint má éiríonn Orcas orm leonta le Lobhach.

Doe explains where she comes from and why she mostly only rises at night. She is born of the moon, the moon is her womb. As a moon child she is opposite but close to Morningstar and works in opposite magic to protect Messiah.

Doe appears with burning head. I’ve never bee sure what caused it. I believe this is, the warning the involving of the Holy Spirit and the rising of the dead..

Doe laments my disobedience and the coming turmoil for the world. She urges me to act. I know I cannot. But she asks my to act on the Death coming and inevitable—to bring Messiah to he’s true purpose. To bring him home.

An example of the dead and their ravenous need.

A reminder of the collapsing of Timelines in on each other through including theAlpha, Primary, and Golden Timelines including the evolution of myself into Echo, or Hunger, or Ascended. (This is an older, deeper prophecy that must be explained at another time…)

Doe she’s herself again. Flaming antlers, a cloak of eyes, she is watching me progress through timelines, trying to bless me even I have been mostly disobedient. She doesn’t want to punish me even though I have jeopardized a great many things in my stubbornness.

The suffering of the dead of Hell.

More dead.

Signs and symptoms of rot: *Sick eyes (watch for these in self and loved ones—sickness, evil, unprotected)

Invitation to complete Messiah’s rebirth from Holy to Divine.

Again begging for me to do what I won’t do.

A reminder Messiah is Doe’s child and that she is angry and she misses him. I know what she wants me to do but I won’t do it.

Messiah’s semi-true form.

The Dead within me and the timelines I control—Doe wants me to free them.

My fate if I become the Hunger filled with rot.

I would love to hear you talk about Kassandra???

So, what can I say about Kassandra.

Well, firstly, I've been thinking about how I want to answer this question since I got it however many months ago and I figured I wanted to speak about my own interpretation of things rather than formal stuff - half because I don't want to cite anything since going through Iliad based papers brings me little joy and half because I figure I could treat it a bit more casually this way. So here's like, a very brief selection of thoughts I have about Kassandra, Saintess of Troy.

I view her tale as a microcosm of the wider tale of the Fall of Troy from Apollo's perspective. A human is given a choice and, of their own free-will, they make the most destructive decision ignorant of the way they're sealing their own fate and no matter how much their patron will want to save and help them, they will be unable to so much as lift a meaningful finger because the choice made is one that is sealed in Fate and powers far beyond any one god. The themes of doomed love are also shared; Kassandra loved Apollo just as Apollo loved her but she couldn't be what he wanted of her. She couldn't accept what it was he was offering, no matter how much power, honour and love he tried to tempt her with and in a lot of ways, I think of her devastating visions of doom and death(tm) as a physical parallel to the feelings Helen must be tormented with knowing that she will be cited as the reason of such mass death, destruction and violence. Likewise, I see Apollo's inability to save Kassandra up until the end as representative of his wider inability to save Troy. All his love and blessing were not enough, even though all she had to do was take his hand, it simply wasn't meant to be and so I imagine that must be a fresh hurt for him with each beloved mortal he loses during the campaign.

Kassandra is genuinely so interesting? Both as a character and as a narrative idea; she sits almost in the center of so many fascinating parallels and foils that it gets me so excited whenever she comes up in conversation! I've mentioned it briefly before but she forms a very neat triad with Iphigenia and Troilus which runs parallel to the three dominant male powers in Iliad - Agamemnon, Achilles and Apollo. They're what I somewhat refer to as the sacrifice trio, innocents who must ultimately be abandoned and stripped away for the sake of the desire of their sacrificer, in turn revealing something intrinsic about the nature of the man. For Iphigenia, she reveals that Agamemnon truly values his ambition over all, that his image and status as a leader is more meaningful to him than the love of his family (which, of course, dooms him in the end). Likewise, for Achilles, Troilus' sacrifice reveals that no matter the glamour or glory that crowns Achilles' head, his rage is ultimately his most powerful feeling and it burns bright and hot no matter the circumstance, opponent or arena. For Apollo, Kassandra's sacrifice (which is much more symbolic as he is a god and therefore need not actually physically kill her) reveals his position as the 'loser', one who will be scorned and reviled and lose all the things he loves no matter how closely he cherishes or adorns them. He can't protect the mortals he's blessed, he can't protect his children - he can't even save one woman. She also has that aforementioned triad with Helen and Andromache - the sequestered women; doomed to wait and pray but each, in their own ways working to save and support their own in the conflict. They're all haunted by the promise of what awaits them - Andromache's hopes and future lies with Hector and with her son yet she is the embodiment of a war-wife, solid and stoic in her support when Hector returns but suffering deeply knowing each fight could be his last. Helen, of course, carries with her both the suffering of the greek women and the hatred of their men - if Andromache fears death taking the breath from her beloved fighters then Helen bears the weight of death upon her shoulders, all grief and scorn is bore like a crown upon her head and she must bear it. It is her duty to bear it. Kassandra then becomes the suffering of the young women - they who are surrounding on all sides by throngs of death and do not know why it has come, they whose screams intermix with that of the dead upon them. There is no avatar for Kassandra to experience the war through, no reason for her to be stoic or strong or upright. She tears her hair, hysterical at the suffering that is poured into her mind day in and day out, wild and unrestrained where her elders must hold their grief and tame it. In this way, she gives voice to the voiceless, she screams for those who cannot and is reviled for it - a young woman surrounded by death yet ordered not to speak a word of its stench or horror. There's many more things I can talk about too such as the whole Kassandra as Apollo's living Palladium thing or the Kassandra-Electra-Clytemnestra trio or even Chryseis as a reflection of Kassandra and how the taking of a priest's daughter could be seen as tantamount to trying to steal away Kassandra (and how this eventually wraps back around to the actual incident of Kassandra being stolen away and ending up right back under Agamemnon's care just as Chryseis before her) but like, we would be here all day.

Y'all maybe this is a hot take but scorned woman Kassandra is like, the most boring interpretation of her ever. She has so much life and passion in her, so much joy, so much despair, so much love - making her jaded and cynical towards both her fate and her god is such a slap in the face to me of what her character could and generally does seem to stand for. Kassandra never stopped loving Apollo - likewise, Apollo (at least to me) never abandoned her. All in Troy suffer heavy, cursed fates - Kassandra is one of the few who at least had some awareness of how hers would turn out. I like that she's a fighter. I like that she screams and cries and spits and is expressive and ugly in her torment and grief when so many of the women around her cannot afford to be. I like that she said no and despite how much she suffered for it, she never begged for her yolk to be taken from her because she knew that the choice she made was the right one for her. She's raw, she's vivid, she's human and more than anything, that's what I love so much about her.

And I'm playing Enderal again

Now I'm plaing for a phasmalist again, this is my third prophet

They are from left to right: a psychologically unstable young scientist, a widow-huntress with the character of a caring mom and a rabid werewolf pirate

It's funny that I'm writing a little fan fiction on Enderal not about Tarael and the prophet-scientist, whom I ship, but with a huntress, because who but a wonderful woman with a big heart will help rehabilitate after such a shit

it's clearly not worth waiting for help from a dude with addictions and depression:/

Walk with truth and let others be invited to deepen themselves in their reception of you.

Happy 65 Birthday to Josie Lawrence.

[giselberts]

my little prophetesses :) i have 2 AUs where one is canon-ish gloom and doom and the other is silly and stupid. aguacate is silly AU and teliora is serious and yet... teliora has nice happy ending and aguacate does catharsis ending 😔

text + textless images under the cut!

Teliora

Spends a good chunk of her life in the monastery in the Kettle mountains as some mage and scholar

Older cousin of Adelheid, often sends her letters when Adelheid grows up in the Tirin Abbey and worries a lot about her.

Follows the Nehrimese mages to Enderal in the Sun Temple, meets Lexil there and works with him.

Lost focus and has a consensual workplace relationship with him

Accidentally adopts Tharael. He does not like her consensual workplace relationship with Lexil.

Accidentally adopts Rynéus. Threw his black stone in the ocean so that they'd all be away from that bad energy

Accidentally stops the cleansing because of that. No stone > no beacon lighting tool > things with Nehrim calm because of an agreement > happy ending???

Greying blonde hair, green eyes. 180cm, early to mid 50s, spellcaster/mage

------

Aguacate

Roommates with Tharaêl (they fight about who gets the downstairs bedroom so they both share a bed)

Thinks that people are straight OR gay. Jespar had to teach her about bisexuality

Offered a 12kg wheel of cheese to Calia to seduce her (it did not work)

Hates Tealor. Called him 'dad' once and almost fled the country because of it

Worked at some stables in Nehrim before leaving for Enderal, she is a big fan of horsies 👍

Carries around Sirius' skull and talks to it for advice (he does not reply) (it's not Sirius' skull)

Likes Kurmai and getting him eggs. She even gives him cheese for an omelet because she doesn't remember that he needs eggs for a breeding programme and not a delicious brunch

Black hair, green eyes. 195cm, mid 20s. archer + spellcaster (destruction spells)

(TW FOR EYES AND LIGHT GORE)

The Prophetess

“Φοιτά μες στα μάτια σου.„

The gift of foresight is a rare phenomena amongst the magics recorded in the world's encyclopedia.

There weren't many individuals who possessed such gifts, and thus prophets are a highly valued asset to mankind. They are sought after, for humanity as a species are driven by pride and curiosity. They wish to know their fate, they wish to change their fate, as ambitious as that sounded.

The line between naivety and hopefulness is almost invisible.

No one can change the destiny that the Fates have set for them. She watched with an apathetic gaze as one by one, men fell victim to their own hubris. Heroes, nobles, travellers alike.

✴️✴️✴️

They called her ‘the Prophetess’.

She has no name. She doesn't remember, nor does she have no need for it, not after having walked this cursed land for who knows how long.

Once a humble priestess for a long forgotten god, she was granted the gift of foresight, with an eager promise to serve humanity until the last moment of her lowly mortal life.

.

..

... Well, such naive promises never last long.

Her gift came with a cost. Her head ached with events that had yet to happen, it was too much for a mere mortal to bear. And with a piercing scream, she clawed at her eyes, drawing blood until she was left with only a pair of empty eye sockets. The curse of knowledge took away her eyes as its price.

Still, she pushed through the sudden loss of sight, and began her journey of a new prophetess. The initial innocence slowly lost its light the more she gave out prophecies to those who sought for her. Her hope for humanity dimmed, having been disappointed over and over again.

Immortality is as much of a curse as foresight is. There was no place she hadn't been to, no things she hadn't seen. Such was a long, listless life of the Prophetess.

That was, until the Unfamiliar stumbled upon her temple...

AWAWAWAWA I DID ITTTTTT :DD GODS THAT TOOK ME A FEW DAYS OF HYPERFIXATING BUT YAYYYYY

the prophetess is irene in a witch au me and my friends have been yapping about! hence why she looks different and with a much different lore!

i'll share a tidbit of her backstory if yguys want to know hehe :)

(artwork without the front shade and some lore under the cut)

• appearance: 6'0 tall; she has long white hair, empty eye sockets covered by an eye mask, and very pale skin. in other words, albino, or mystic flour cookie but legally blind /j

• types of magic she excels in: foresight, healing

• her familiar is an albino python called nico :)

• the prophetess was once a mortal priestess, but it's been a long long time since then as she had ascended to godhood (lore)

• she grew apathetic to humanity after a while, giving them prophecies and leaving them to their fates. she does not care if they die or not, their fates are already sealed the moment they sought for her

• so far, only miyabi (the unfamiliar aka my friend's oc) managed to ignite the motherly instinct she thought were long gone. they've been with her the longest, took under her wing and nurtured to adulthood

• people see the prophetess as this imposing, menacing figure who comes to seal their fate. and uh... she kinda is-

New podcast episode: Romaine-la-Prophétesse

Today's episode is on the Haitian Revolutionary religious leader Romaine-la-Prophétesse whose identity as a prophetess of the Virgin Mary was key to his leadership of an insurrectionary camp in pre-revolutionary Haiti. Join us to learn about Romaine's divine mission to abolish slavery, a definitely legitimate and not at all excommunicated priest, and the implications of getting topped by the Virgin Mary for your gender identity.
