Processione dei Misteri, Good Friday, Trapani

[hedgewitchgarden]

Ancient Roman statue of Isis

Made out of black and white marble.

First half of the 2nd century, found in Naples, Italy.

Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.

Isis, originally an Egyptian goddess, was increasingly popular amongst Romans, who made her one of their own, with Roman attire, features and dress.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Navigium Isidis (trans. the vessel of Isis) was an annual ancient Roman religious festival in honor of the goddess Isis, held on March 5.

The Navigium Isidis celebrated Isis' influence over the sea and served as a prayer for the safety of seafarers and, eventually, of the Roman people and their leaders. It consisted of an elaborate procession, including Isiac priests and devotees with a wide variety of costumes and sacred emblems, carrying a model ship from the local Isis temple to the sea or to a nearby river.

>You take a break from the thrilling rides of Divaajin World to scout out a spot for lunch. Lucky for you, there appears to be a retro themed cafe nearby! The sign in front of the cafe says "Staff Saturday" in looping chalk letters, clarifying below that on Saturdays the staff will make a custom milkshake, based on your vibe.

>Ready to eat, you find a table and sit down. A friendly, if not harried looking waitress, approaches you.

"Hey hun, what can I getchya?"

Judgement time ft. Isidie! Reblog with a fantroll and a lil blurb about 'em and she'll do a milkshake-vibe-check!

"Tu quidem sāncta et hūmāni generīs sospitatrix perpetua.. dulcem mātris adfectātiōnem miserōrum cāsibus tribuis. Quin mari terraque prōtegās homines " Apuleius.

"Most holy and everlasting redeemer of human kind.. bestow the sweet affections of a Mother upon the unfortunate. On land as well as at sea, You protect people". Apuleius.

Honouring Isis Pelagia on this festive day of Navigium Isidis. May she protect all who work & travel on the ocean and all of us who live by its shores.

"Santísima e eterna redentora do xénero humano… trae os doces afectos dunha Nai sobre os miserables. Tanto na terra como no mar, protexes á xente". Apuleio.

Hoxe honro a Isis Pelagia neste día festivo de Navigium Isidis, e rezo que ela protexa a todos os que traballan e viaxan no océano e a todos os que vivimos na beira do mar.

Election Results: 2324 All-Mars Parliamentary Elections

Elections for the Mars Union Parliament were conducted on 160/048, aka June 9 2324 (Gregorian), or 4 Cancer 459 (Darian). Elections were conducted using single transferable vote from 69 multi-member constituencies, with each constituency electing between three and nine MPs. All 349 seats were up for election.

Constituencies are drawn based on criteria of geographic contiguity, compactness, respect for preexisting administrative boundaries, and with the aim of creating five-member constituencies (with the total size of the parliament reflecting the cube root rule). Certain districts with overly large or overly small populations may elect more or less than five members; but districts may not elect less than three or more than nine members. Only minor adjustments in district boundaries were introduced since the previous election, and the size of the parliament was increased by 3 members to reflect population change.

Results

With a turnout of 28.9 million, or about 68%, the result was a victory for the center-left coalition led by the All-Mars Social Democratic Party, who renewed their coalition agreement with Martian Progressive Party and and the Tomorrow! party. General Secretary Liu hailed the election as "yet another vindication of milquetoast center-left reformism that excites nobody," though to what extent he was being sarcastic, no one observing could quite say.

Constituency Boundaries

The above map shows the planetwide constituencies used in the election. The non-shaded region is the Southern Highlands-Arcadia Planitia-Amazonis Planitia constituency, a "catch-all" constituency for regions of the planet that are otherwise too sparsely populated for reasonable constituency boundaries to be drawn.

Ramalina peruviana

Quipu lichen, Peruvian ribbon lichen

This fruticose lichen has many thin, flattened branches and tiny, isidiate branchlets growing out of lateral soredia and branch tips. The surface is pale gray-green interrupted by ellipsoidal or linear pseudocyphellae and punctiform soralia. It only rarely produces apothecia. R. peruviana grows on bark and occasionally rock in tropical and costal regions worldwide. So why is it named R. peruviana? Well, the type specimen used by Erik Acharius to describe the species was found in Peru. What's a type specimen, you may ask? Well when you describe a species, you need to have one specimen of that organism from which characteristics and features of the species description are drawn, and it needs to be stored in a collection where it can be accessed to compare characteristics and potentially DNA with future potential specimens. So even though this entire species grows all over the place and isn't only found in Peru, the name is a nod to the specimen which set the standard for the entire species name. It's pretty weird to think about using one individual as the standard when we know so much physical variation exists between members of the same species, right?

hellenic holidays

Holidays are an important part of Hellenic religious life across all of the Mediterranean– whether Greek or Roman. For the sake of modernity, relevant Graeco-Roman holidays will be adapted to the contemporary Gregorian Calendar.

Ianouarios (Latin: Ianuarius, Eng: January)

Kalends (January), Roman era, Gregorian calendar, January 1: First day of the New Year, in honour of Janus. Large celebrations done, and charity is highly encouraged. Prayers to Lord Asklepios also recommended.

Phebrouarios (Latin: Februarius, Eng: February)

Kalends (February), Roman era, Gregorian calendar, February 1: First day of the month.

Parentalia, Roman era, Gregorian calendar, February 13 – February 21: Literally “Ancestors Days” or “Days of the Ancestors”, Parentalia is the February festival celebrating the deceased ancestors of the family and the pater familias.  They are offered flowers, wine-soaked bread, violets salt, and wheat.  Often they are providing a true sacrificial banquet, but these are di inferni, spirits of the underworld.  They are those who dwell below, and proper care must be made in sacrificing to them.

Anthesteria, Greek era, Gregorian calendar, February 19 – February 21: Athenian festivals dedicated to Dionysos and the dead.

Lupercalia, Roman era, Gregorian calendar, February 15: Holiday intended to avert evil spirits and miasma, as well as spread purification; which releases health and fertility.

Lesser Eleusinian Mysteries, Greek era, Gregorian calendar, February 17-23 (Sign of capricorn): Serves as reminders of the Greater Mysteries, in honour of Deo and Kore.

Martios (Latin: Martius, Eng: March)

Kalends (March), Roman era, Gregorian calendar, March 1: First day of the month.

Navigium Isidis, Hellenistic-era Egyptian, Gregorian calendar, March 5-6: Festival in honour of Isis marks the opening of the sailing season.

Dionysia, Greek era, Gregorian calendar, March 9 – 16: Holiday dedicated to Bacchus.

Liberalia, Roman era, Gregorian Calendar, March 17: Another holiday dedicated to Bacchus.

Hilaria, Roman era, Gregorian calendar, March 15 – March 28: Numerous day celebration dedicated to the Mother of the Gods and Her lover Attis/Gallus.

Quinquatrus, Roman era, Gregorian Calendar, March 19: When the Temple of Athene on the Aventine Hill was consecrated. Feast day to Athene.

Aprillios (Latin: Aprilis, Eng: April)

Kalends (April), Roman era, Gregorian calendar, April 1: First day of the month. Dedicated to Aphrodite.

Genéteira tis Rómis (Natale de Roma), Roman era, Gregorian calendar, April 21: Day commemorating the founding of Rome by Quirinus, known as Romulus when embodied in a mortal form.

Serapia, Hellenistic-era Egyptian, Gregorian calendar, April 25: Day commemorating Serapis, the ruler of the underworld.

Maïos (Latin: Maius Eng: May)

Kalends (May), Roman era, Gregorian calendar, May 1: First day of the month.

Lemuria, Roman era, Gregorian calendar, May 9, 11 and 13: A trio of solemn days for the malevolent and restless dead, for maintaining their memory is as paramount as those of the benevolent ancestors.  Sacrifices are offered as propitiation in order to keep the peace and avoid ill luck from these infernal spirits.

Thargelia, Greek era, Gregorian calendar, May 22 – May 23: Celebration in honour of Artemis and Apollo.

Iounios (Latin: Iunius, Eng: June)

Kalends (June), Roman era, Gregorian calendar, June 1: First day of the month.

Flight of Aineías, June 11: According to calculations by Eratosthenes, today is the day the city of Troy was sacked in 1184 BCE. The burning of Troy would be the end of the Trojan War, but simultaneously it would be the birth of a new beginning. Ultimately, Troy’s fall would give rise to the eternal city of Rome centuries later, as many of those who laid the city’s foundations had been descendant of the Trojan refugees led by the pious Prince Aineías who fled the destruction, such as Aineías’ descendant Romulus. Today is a day that feasts should be held to commemorate the flight of Aineías and the survival of our ancestors, but simultaneously a day of mourning for those innocent who perished, whether during the Trojan War or any war.

Prometheia, Greek era, Gregorian calendar, June 17th: Festival dedicated to Prometheus bestowing reason to mankind.

Vestalia, Roman era, Gregorian calendar, June 7th – 15th: Festival specifically in honor of the Goddess of the house, Vesta, and the spirits of the store chambers, cupboards, and the penates.

Ioulios (Latin: Iulius, Eng: July)

HiPOD 27 Apr 2023: Megabreccia in Northeast Syrtis

The region of interest contains megabreccia that may be a breccia dike. It is important to determine this in order to understand the impact dynamics that created the Isidis basin and the megabreccia blocks exposed in the northeast Syrtis region.

This image was requested for a stereo pair to provide 3D context to learn about the exact nature of this megabreccia exposure.

Among Ozpin's inner circle who does salem consider the most troublesome?(not counting ozpin himself)

Eliana. The other headmasters are powerful and bring assests necessary to Ozpin's cause, but Eliana is a different type of proactive that is dangerously competant in her plans. Not only in uniting Isidis City and the Huntsmen of Vacuo in such a short time, but in finding and raising three SEWs with one a candidate to the Summer Maiden powers under her control.

While Eliana doesn't have complete concrete proof that SEW as Maidens would be inherently stronger, but she is right in her hunch. Add onto that out of everyone, Eliana is loyal to Ozpin to the grave. There is nothing Salem could give her or threaten her with that would make Eliana fold, and she knows it. So she wants Eliana dead.

Other than her, Qrow is seen as a dangerous contender as well. Ironwood is too impulsive for Salem to take him seriously and Jin is too passive in her own planmaking.

🚌 Isidie

🚌How do you normally get around/travel? Would they ever be able to afford their own scuttlebuggy?

"I use public transportation! The city here is pretty busy, so I like to think busing is the best way to go about traveling. Also, I think it's better for the environment? I suppose biking would be an even more environmentally friendly choice, but, ah, I'm not exactly in the best shape. It tuckers me out pretty quickly, I'm not sure if I'd last the entire trip from my hivestem to the restaurant! As for being able to afford a scuttlebuggy, well... I'm barely paid enough to afford my hivestem. I don't think that's really in the stars for me!"

In my quest to block the loseds who use tumblr live, I've noticed how isidious some of these guys are.

There's one twink who I had to block 4 separate accounts of. All of them were identical with slight spelling variants and all of them had his gaping asshole right there in the blog header.

Tumblr live is a cesspool.

Some super common macro lichens in the midwest you can readily learn. Generalized to mainly wood surface and not super generalized on rock.

Common Greenshield Lichen, Flavoparmelia caperata

vs

Punctelia rudecta, and recent split Punctelia missouriensis (see those white speckled lobes. during full developement and we see a different colored isidiate core. this is why it’s commonly known as the rough speckled shield ) (this concept can be seen in the lower specimen.) (The upper though developes consistently less isidiate core and instead has overlapping squamulobes which gives it a mealy look.) (Called Mealy Speckled Shield lichen.)

What isn’t as common is large thallus mats with proper apothecia developement. Its like a light blue core if it’s the case unlike moon glow lichen which has a brown apothecia core and smooth axle bristle which looks green when hydrated and has an orange like tint when dry. imishaga doesn’t seem to produce apothecia or an isidiate core while rough speckled can produce both though the apothecia are supposed to be small like seen above on this Quercus muehlenbergii

the green shield will be smooth, baltimore green shield is a rock species where as smooth(rare) and common are both on wood, not an isidiate display, and fully same colored thallus wet or dry.

the bottom picture is the two colored thallus of rough speckled sheild without an isidiate core that i put water on to see if i could get hydrated colors.
