Reading the Hermetica
So, even though there’s been a slight uptick in activity here on my blog over the past few weeks and months compared to what went before (not that I ever truly went quiet or shut up, but long-time readers will know I have my own ups and downs), it’d be remiss of me to not point out that I’m still keeping active in general.  As it turns out, I have something of a writing stamina gauge of sorts: if…

Tumblr media
Despite what the song says, a kiss isn’t always just a kiss.
A kiss can be political, because it’s the first of its kind or because it’s between two heads of state.
A kiss can also become iconic when it’s captured on film, even if the kiss itself was invasive and unwanted.
With that in mind, here’s a list of some of the most memorable kisses in history.
Tumblr media
Scholars debate whether kissing began as a trend that spread around the globe, or sprung up organically in different regions.
Whatever the case, the earliest known written mentions of it are in Vedic Sanskrit scriptures circa 1500 B.C., according to research by Vaughn Bryant, an anthropology professor at Texas A&M University.
These scriptures, known as the Vedas, were foundational to the religion of Hinduism.
After that, kissing continued to appear in ancient Indian and Hindu literature.
The Mahabharata, a Sanskrit epic compiled by the 4th century A.D., has a line in which someone “set her mouth to my mouth and made a noise that produced pleasure in me.”
The Kama Sutra, an ancient Sanskrit text on eroticism and love, also has a chapter on kissing that identifies different methods of kissing and types of kisses.
Tumblr media
Kissing isn’t just a romantic act. It can also be a sign of friendship or betrayal.
In the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, written circa the 1st century, Judas betrays Jesus by identifying him with a kiss so that armed men can take him away and eventually kill him.
Judas’ kiss has since become a popular storytelling allusion.
It may have inspired the “kiss of death” that appears in mafia literature and film (but was probably never an actual mafia practice).
Perhaps the most famous example is in The Godfather Part II, when Al Pacino’s character gives his brother Fredo the kiss of death for betraying him.
Tumblr media
The first people to smooch on film were May Irwin and John C. Rice, who appeared in a short film known variously as May Irwin kiss, Kiss, or The Kiss.
In 1896, the two performers went to Thomas Edison’s studio in New Jersey and reenacted their final kiss scene from a play they were putting on in New York City.
On stage, no one thought the kiss was that sensational. But many felt the close-up footage of them kissing was too risqué.
Tumblr media
In 1898, black performers Saint Suttle and Gertie Brown starred in a short film titled ''Something Good-Negro Kiss,'' the first film to show Black Americans kissing.
In 2017, film historians rediscovered the footage, which was filmed by a white man named William Selig in Chicago.
“There’s a performance there because they’re dancing with one another, but their kissing has an unmistakable sense of naturalness, pleasure and amusement as well,” Allyson Nadia Field, a professor of cinema and media studies at the University of Chicago who helped identify the film, said in a university press release.
“It is really striking to me, as a historian who works on race and cinema, to think that this kind of artifact could have existed in 1898.”
Tumblr media
On the morning of 14 August 1945, patients burst into Greta Zimmer’s Manhattan office claiming the war in Japan was over.
The Austrian immigrant wasn’t sure what to think, so on her lunch break, she went to Times Square in her white dental assistant’s uniform to see what the news ticker said.
The atmosphere there was celebratory. The ticker confirmed that it was indeed V-J Day, and World War II was over.
As Zimmer looked away from the ticker, a Navy sailor named George Mendonsan — who’d started drinking early and mistook Zimmer for a nurse — ran up and aggressively kissed her, leaving his girlfriend behind.
Zimmer struggled to push the stranger off, and they parted ways.
But unbeknownst to both of them, photographers Alfred Eisenstaedt and Victor Jorgensen had each captured the moment, as recounted in The Kissing Sailor: The Mystery Behind The Photo That Ended World War II.
Eisenstaedt’s photo became one of the most iconic WWII images in U.S. history, in part because viewers mistook it for a picture of a Naval officer and nurse celebrating together.
The photo has also stirred controversy, as many people have claimed over the years to be the couple in the image, while others point out that it depicts a nonconsensual moment.
Zimmer said in an interview with the Library of Congress in 2005:
“It wasn’t my choice to be kissed...the guy just came over and kissed or grabbed!”
Tumblr media
When William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols kissed on a 1968 episode of Star Trek, it was not technically the first interracial kiss on U.S. television.
But it was the one that seemed to have the most cultural impact.
In the episode, titled “Plato’s Stepchildren,” Captain James Kirk and Officer Nyota Uhura encounter aliens who force them to kiss each other through telekinesis.
In Nichols’ book Beyond Uhura: Star Trek and Other Memories, she recalls that NBC was worried how white Americans would react to the scene, so they asked the actors to film two scenes: one with a kiss and one without a kiss.
However, Nichols and Shatner purposefully messed up all of the kissless takes in order to ensure that NBC aired the kissing scene.
Tumblr media
During the Cold War, leaders of communist states often greeted each other with what’s called the “socialist fraternal kiss.”
This could be on the cheek or the mouth, but the most famous example is French photographer Régis Bossu’s 1979 picture of the Soviet Union’s Leonid Brezhnev and East Germany’s Erich Honecker kissing on the mouth.
The kiss occurred when Brezhnev visited East Berlin to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the German Democratic Republic (i.e., East Germany).
When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, the Soviet artist Dmitri Vrubel recreated the image in a mural on the wall’s east side.
He captioned it: “My God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love.”

There are so many people who want to get together to have a great prayer meeting or other great gatherings. Friend, have you ever tried being alone? That is where God will meet with you. Take the Word of God and go off alone with Him. It will do you a lot of good.

CW: Christianity, Scripture, shitty theology
My mother got sucked into some bullshit Bible study with her "friend," who is fire and brimstone Baptist, and it's so fucking shitty. She called me with questions because a lot of the "study" seemed questionable and didn't sit right with her.
So I completely geeked out and spent the evening yesterday doing research and typing up notes for her, including breaking out my Greek notes and NT. Then I went over them with her this morning so she could be prepared for her first meeting with her friend.
She called me afterwards and said the whole made her feel so bad. When my mother challenged one of the study's statements "sin disqualifies us from a relationship with God" (which infuriated me...there is nothing we could ever do to lose His love and grace), her friend said God is a wrathful god. ARGGGG. Absolutely not and a complete manipulation of Scripture and theology (and no, there are not two different gods between the Hebrew Tanakh and NT...scripture was written by humans, through human interpretation attempting to make sense of a divine being).
Even that made me feel bad second-handedly. So I reviewed my notes from J's sermons over the years and it just made me miss him so much. He always, always made the effort to remind us that we are God's Beloved and nothing can ever change that.
I miss him. So damn much.

Studio apartment for one This is new to me – losing my child-strong arms, Unable to pull time out of its lassitude. My dreams Of strong bodies evaporate slowly, all day With eyes opened under self-warmed duvet There I hallucinate;
Seeing the silhouettes of arms I can breathe in - flickers of a ghost ship - I dream of strong bodies All day invariably, with such hale piety Even my bed is fooled: worn in wool-gathering The mattress has caved in Carved out the plain imprint of their familiar weight
All the tongues in my houses have electric pulses, I play lovely music, listen to foreign voices. Quand la poussière se lève, debout à l’horizon I drag my hand across the sheets Send my fingers swimming through cold-whipped winds I trace the dips along his neck, stopping where hair sprouts To feel all the air curl – rings of his locks on my finger. Inside the cardboard box wearing a Hazmat suit I dream up strong bodies, keep splitting recipes.

When I was little, I always wondered why my mom bought boring church books. Why did she like reading sermons and theology? How come half our book shelves were taken up with her boring church history books.
Me now: this new theology books just came out and I really want it! Ah another one! A follow along study guide to the New Testament? An Isaiah guidebook? Women in the bible? Symbols of the temple?!! Can I just buy all of the deseret book store?!

NSFW Alphabet- Twilight Edition
Tumblr media
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
Twilight is great at aftercare. He absolute showers his lover's body in absolute adoration. He's rubbing out the tense muscles, offering water, whispering nothing but sweet praises into his Darling's ears. He's lacing kisses up and down the column of their neck and leaving his touch nothing but a whisper of heat along their skin. It's enticing enough to go for another round...
Or three.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
Just one? He can't. He won't... But I will. It's a toss up between thighs that just lock around his neck, keeping him right where they want him and using him as nothing more than a glorified toy and ass cheeks that are just so flush and plump, molding in between his fingers as he grips onto them, squeezing them as his hips crash against theirs and-
You know, the finer things in life.
On him? His hands. Hands the can lift his lover up by those delectable thighs and pin them against the wall. Hands that can bring his darling to absolute ecstasy. Hands that can do so much harm but are rendered useless for anything but good when it comes to his love.
Hands that can strangle the life out of someone's eyes for the simple act of thinking they could even look at what was his.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
Oh, he loves, loves, loves filling his darling to the absolute brim. Just load after load, watching it leak of their pretty little hole if only to replace what was lost tenfold. Watching their stomach swell just the slightest as he lays a hand on the mound, pushing just enough for another glob of cum to bulb out and onto the sheets below. Which he would be more than happy to stuff back in, using his fingers to shove it where it belongs, lest you waste it of course.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
He has the biggest praise kink ever. Call him your good boy while you gently brush his hair back. Tell him how good he sits for you while you use him for all of your desires. Use your moans to sing his praises about how precious he is and how adorable he looks underneath of you.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
He's a simple country boy. So, not experienced. At all. He was saving himself for marriage <3. But he knows he wants to spend the rest of his life with his darling. And if he gets to please them along the way, he'll play the glorious student, soaking in your teachings as if they were divine scripture.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
C'mon. You know what the obvious answer is here. And while, yes, doggy is well and good, he also loves cowgirl. Watching his partner bounce on top of him, letting his hands roam from their thighs to their chest back down to ass, groping and squeezing every chance he gets.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
It's a bit of both. If he can tell his partner is tense and nervous, he's gently cooing at them, maybe cracking a joke to get them to loosen up, but ultimately he's more serious. He's soaking in the intimacy and the absolute feeling surrounding the action, committing it to memory.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
Y'all don't wanna hear it, but...it's a bush. He does not shave it, barely ever trims it. It's a mess. Darker than the hair on his head, but not by a lot. He washes it, yeah, but that's the extent of it.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
Okay, he's so in love with you. He is cradling your jaw, cooing down at you and treating you like porcelain. He makes it a point to kiss you every chance he gets because, to Twilight, a kiss is such an intimate thing to him (Am I referencing the manga and my own theories on it?...maybe). And it's one of the highest forms of affection he can give.
So, yeah, he's pretty intimate.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
He very rarely did it before his adventure, he was too busy working. He very rarely did it during his adventure, he had other things to worry about. He very rarely did it after, he was fixing Hyrule and mourning the loss of Midna.
But when he met you? He never does it. Why bother? It would be a waste. Why bother when he can just pump you so full you see stars?
Why jack himself off when he can fuck you silly?
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
WHERE DO I BEGIN?!
A-hem. Breeding Kink. All the way. He's obsessed with the idea, regardless if his partner can get pregnant or not. Bondage. The thought of giving ones control to another so willingly in such a form of trust just makes him so hot and bothered. Marking. He loves marking his partner; bites, hickeys, claw marks, bruises. Loves it. Gagging. This is super self-indulgent, but he loves making his lover gag on his cock when their insistent on sucking him off. Feeling their throat constrict against it while tears pear in their eyes? Drives him nuts. To name a few~
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
Any room thats pretty private. Like I've said, he hates public sex because that's his. That view is his alone and he hates sharing. Hates, hates, hates, hates, HATES. But if there's a door and four walls? He's pinning you to one of them with a hand over your mouth as he takes you then and there.
Although, all of that being said, I can't say he's totally against having sex in the back of the barn. Let him eat you out/suck you off and he's convinced. Seems like a fair trade to me <3
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
Fuuuck, anything really. Wearing a particularly tight set of tights? Boner. Bending down to pick up some laundry you dropped? Boner. Sitting at the table and filing taxes (Does Hyrule have taxes? Does now.), and nibbling on your pencil? BONER.
But seeing you on top of Epona, hips rocking as you goad her into a gait, chest following the flow of your hips? He's excusing himself for a moment.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
He is one thousand percent against actually hurting you. Like that's his biggest no to ever no. He's just so much bigger and stronger than you. Who's to say the beast doesn't get the best of him? Yes, he has immaculate control over it these days, but that doesn't mean its perfect.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
Loves, loves, loves giving. Hearing the noises his lover can make and feeling them come undone from his ministrations alone. One of his favorite things is seeing how many times he can get his partner to cum with his tongue alone. And lemme tell you, he's so good with his mouth. There's something primal about the way he goes down on his partner that's just...ethereal.
He can take or leave receiving, really. He's going to be grateful, of course, but he's going to return the favor tenfold. <3
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
Oh he's all for the slow and sensual, taking apart his lover in every way he can think of. Watching as they just melt under his touch for a night of gentle touches and whispered devotions. But something about fast and rough that makes the canine part of him just howl in joy. He's all for biting along his darling's spine while pulling their hips to meet his every thrust.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
Depends. In public? Hates them. Like I'll explain, he hates things in public. He possessive and protective over what's his. It's the canine in him. But when there's a room, and thirty minutes to spare? He's pulling you into the room, locking the door and taking you apart then and there. Watching you shake and quiver, before walking out like nothing ever happened. :D
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
He's not a huge fan of risks. He'll experiment with whatever his love wants, but when it comes to things like public sex, he's not into it. He's a humble boy who wants his private life to remain so. The view of his lover his for his eyes alone. And anyone else who dares to try even a glimpse are swiftly dealt with.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
Has stamina for days. Have you seen him? Have you seen how he can wrangle goats the size the a small hut? How he's been on a farm, working for as long as he can remember?
Twilight has the stamina to go for hours, and he will. Anything to see the love of his life absolutely ruined.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?) Owns a collar. For sure. Whether it's used on him so you can tie him up and pull him around wherever you wish, or it's used on you to keep you right where he wants you, again depends on his mood. He also owns a lasso, which he definitely uses to hogtie his beloved however he desires. The sight of the rope burn, so pretty and just a tinge of red, makes him absolutely lose his mind.
And maybe, just maybe, he'll pull out that whip he kept around. (IYKYK)
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Depends on his mood. Some days he's purposefully going without a shirt, lugging around feed for the goats directly in your line of sight and making sure the sweat drips down the line of his spine just right. Other days, he's far too impatient to even consider it and simply takes.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
Oh he's the loudest. Change my mind. You can't. He's whining, whimpering, moaning at every little touch. You can't even breath on his neck before he's keening into their neck and grappling onto his darling like a lifeline.
I'm sure if you overstimulate him just enough, you can even make him howl...Just a little.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
He's got some of the biggest tits in the group. Hands down. Play with them, gently such his nipples, play with his pecs, squish and meld them to whatever your heart desires. Suck hickeys onto them, bite at them, do whatever you wish. He's all for it. He loves when you play with them. He is nothing but a toy for you to use.
Just don't go complaining when he returns the favor.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
Twilight is packing. He's a country boy. He's got the girth and the length enough to make his lover see stars. A solid seven inches, eight when hard, with a delicious curve that's just enough to rock against all the right spots. And, it's got a truly perfect vein running right up the underside of his shift and when it's licked just right it leaves him nothing but a whimpering mess.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
Listen.
It's high. It wasn't before his adventure, but something about having that wolf side to him just absolute makes it sky rocket. It's only thoughts are breed, breed, breed, mate, breed, mate, pups, breed, breed.
Just seeing his lover stretch or make dinner, or tend to the horse, or breath, existing in his very presence is enough to have him rearing, ready to go, pining them to the counter and tearing anything that stands between him and his goal.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Twilight falls asleep the moment his darling his safe, content and in his line of sight. He's pulling them into his chest and letting them lay there, their weight a comforting familiarity to him as sundown paints their skin a gorgeous tint of oranges and yellows.

masterlist of introductory materials for the hebrew bible and new testament
below are resources intended for beginners. these would be assigned to upper level undergraduate theology courses or first year theological master degree courses. they represent academic/ "the Academy's" mode of introducing material. bold are titles most frequently used in syllabi.
these are just general introductions, done well but limited by scope. they attend to the testaments as a whole, not their individual books. i recommend, after getting introduced, that your self-study explore particular books, and then, particular hermeneutics: womanist theology, feminist, mujerista, postcolonial, queer, liberation, etc.
as always i recommend reading the texts themselves: an nrsvu(e) translation is expected in academic theology, and this one is a great annotated version.
sefaria is also useful—a jps translation that allows you to see alternative translations for each word
