Woman of the Zodiac - Sagittarius - 2020

[thehmn]

When artists depicts zodiac signs what would you wish people focused more on with your sign and did less?

For example, I already did mine, Sagittarius, where I feel like people get too focused on the bow and arrow and depict them as cool hunters instead of focusing more on the actual description of them as freedom loving travelers and students who’s always “on the hunt” for knowledge, forever trying to expand their worldview. Someone who’s not always reliable because their feet take them in all sorts of directions and though they’ll happily travel with you they won’t settle down so if you prefer to stay in one place the best relationship you can hope for is a visit from them every time they’re in town so to speak. Sorta like a Snufkin type. Ergo, I prefer depictions of Sagittarius as a traveler or even a vagabond depending on how positive or negative you wanna go with the traits.

I want to take another stab at all the zodiac signs some day so I NEED to hear you opinion on how you’d like to see your own sign depicted and what you’re sick of seeing.

Prayer 1

Welcome beloved Artemis, our keen-eyed queen, I beg you hear me now. I pray you guide me that I might find the way. I pray you strengthen me that I might persevere along it. Make my discernment as yours that I might find worthy aims. Make my instinct as yours that I might seize worthy opportunities. Welcome sister of Apollo, golden huntress, we honor and thank you.

Prayer 2

Fleet-footed Artemis, keen-eyed daughter of Zeus and gentle Leto, sister of bright Apollo, we see your shadow in the woods, the curve of your bow, the flex of your arm, we hear the wind whisper as your arrows seek their mark–deadly your art, flawless your aim. Huntress you are, O Artemis, slayer of the stag and the boar, slayer of men and of women, death by your hand is death unforeseen. Maiden are you, goddess, and friend of maidens; ever-youthful one, your favor falls on the young, watching over young girls as they brave the world’s wonders, comforting the mother in the throes of her labor, keeping in your care the newborn babe. Artemis, shining maid of the wilderness, who takes pleasure in games, in contest and in merriment, who leads the nymphs in their carefree dance, whose clear voice we hear in the songs of young women and the hunter’s cry. Artemis, strong and tall, I praise and honor you.

3rd Prayer 

I praise bright Artemis, fair as the budding branch, fair as the spotted fawn, brave as the young bear. From crafty Hephaistos you took the artful bow, the sharp-barbed shafts; from father Zeus you claimed your calling. Far-shooting Artemis, through the thick of the darkened wood you make your way, trailing boar and hare, swiftly and silently, your aim ever flawless, ever kind.

Prayer 4

Artemis, light-bringer, mountain-dweller, graceful one who runs through thorn and thistle with never a scratch, goddess unparalleled, friend of mothers in their travels, friend of maidens, friend of the pretty nymphs, in old Arcadia you roamed the wilderness, in Tauris you took the blood of men, in Ephesus you wore the mural crown. The fire of youth is in you, goddess, the bold and valiant spirit that marks a child as yours. Free-hearted Artemis, worthy daughter of Leto, I honor you always.

5th Prayer

I praise you, Artemis, free-hearted child of Zeus and blessed Leto, courageous goddess who roams the wildwoods with silver bow at hand. Artemis of many names, Artemis of many lands, your temples stood shining and tall, in cities and in villages. In the long days of summer the maidens dance in your honor; in Brauron were the little she-bears under your care. Artemis, the mountains are yours to wander, fleet-footed and firm of step; the wilds of the world are dear to you, O guardian of wood and of beast. Goddess who takes joy in dance and song, companion of the laughing nymphs in all their play, of all young maids you are the swiftest and the strongest, the fairest and the first, in skill and grace the greatest.

[taocc-updates]

”Oh, you like Taocc? Name every character.”

BET.

edit: I added the vague number of total characters listed. We’re at about 270, and I’m still adding characters.

(*By technicality

**formerly/no longer active/no longer acknowledged by the narrative as existing

***exist as of like ten seconds ago

I will only be including characters recognized as part of Taocc by more than one person. Characters will be vaguely grouped together however the frick I feel like and with only the vague suggestion of transitions. A character must have a tangible role that still has effects at the time of posting to be counted. I’m not counting all the deactivated characters from OG Taocc, for example.

My two zodiacs. I’m well aware that it’s silly to consider Ophiuchus the 13th zodiac because the sun pass through other constellations that aren’t considered “secret zodiacs” but as one of the people who would be an Ophiuchus how could I not?

I’m always a bit disappointed by depictions of Sagittarius. People focus too much on the bow and arrow when the main trait of the zodiac is that of an adventurer or explorer. Always “on the hunt” for knowledge and has a strong need for freedom so you can join them if you want but they’ll go with or without you.

As of now Ophiuchus is less defined. Some of the most common traits associated with the zodiac is a passionate defiance of authority, questioning and breaking societal norms, creativity, wisdom forged by accepting others, and healing.

I’m not one of the people who believes in zodiacs but I understand why they’re popular in art and fiction. It’s a bunch of interesting characters, both mentally and physically, free to be used and reinterpretationed.

My Zodiac project has begun! I'm painting an original psychedelic piece for every astrological sign. I present to you: Sagittarius! There's a lot of hidden and not-so-hidden symbolism, such as the Sagittarius constellation, the symbol itself, the fire of the fire sign, the sign's accompanying color (purple), and obviously the bow and arrow of the centaur. This one of a kind piece is for sale at my Etsy now. Prints also available. It's 1 foot by 1 foot by the way. Onto Aries!

As someone obsessed with cool swords, please tell me more about Godhunter :O With a name like that, it certainly has an air of importance to it! What does it look like? I remember the fic mentioning that it has glowing glyphs on it too, what kind are they? What kind of magic power(s) does it have?

AHSKJHAKJSHAKJSHAKJ HIII!!! SWORD TIME!!!

TW for anyone: death is mentioned in the middle part

What does it look like?

Rough depiction of Godhunter, done on my crappy chromebook:

It should be noted that i ran out of space for the runes spelling out 'godhunter', but i think the idea is there.

What kind of magic power(s) does it have?

I'll answer this question first, as it contains information needed to understand the second question.

The triangle runes on the sword's blade correspond with the powers of the elements: fire, earth, air, and water, respectively. These runes imbue the sword with elemental energy, and allows Ciara to control these elements with her sword.

Runes are a finicky form of magic, and when Zodiac Experiment takes place, there are currently only two people (Eclipse and Chamaeleon) who are able to perform runic magic, so either one of them must be present in order to make a runic weapon. Weapons using elemental runes also need specific conditions in order to work:

The weapon must be in ideal temperature to receive the runes; ie, absolutely scalding hot, so that the runes are able to be properly carved into the weapon. This will properly ensure that the magic being channeled through the runes will be able to function later.

Immediately after having the runes carved in, the weapon needs to be glazed with a potion made up of the body parts of demons (see post about demons here), which will give the weapon its elemental magic capability.

When you are carving four elemental runes into a weapon, there is a chance the entire thing will just blow up due to the magical overload. So be careful with that. This is why most runic weapons don't use elemental magic, and the ones that do only have one elemental rune.

What kind is the sword?

Godhunter was originally an ordinary sword found in Pisces' armory. It's modeled after an Edo Period katana, and it was actually not Ciara's first choice for a weapon (she wanted a spear, but was told it was too tall for her.)

The runes depicting 'Godhunter' are written in norse runes, as that is the closest equivalent to the language Eclipse writes in. It is considered tradition to grant weapons a name after its most memorable use, and the name will typically correlate to the act the weapon was used in (Sagittarius' bow is named 'Flamedancer', for example, as a reference to how he shot an flaming arrow into a target fifty feet away.)

It is also customary to use weaker weapons before being gifted with the actual weapon; Ciara primarily worked with lower quality swords while training, then was gifted Godhunter by Pisces before her quest. This is a testament to how in this Astral Realm, weapons are prized possessions and must be earned.

This sword is also the reason why Ciara embarks on her quest in TZE, Eclipse sent her on a quest to slay a bunch a demon in every Zodiac kingdom, collect parts of their body, and return with them to Eclipse. Eclipse did not fully explain the reason for slaying these demons, but Ciara didn't question it, as at this point, she's still a kid in a fantasy land. Of course she'd be delighted to slay some demons and become the hero of this world.

Eventually, the truth comes out: Eclipse brings Ciara to her tower and enchants the sword herself, carving the runes and glazing it with the potions. Ciara is at first, really excited about this: she was getting a cool magic sword upgrade! She's finished her journey!

Nope. Wrong. Eclipse then directs Ciara through a big door and instructs her to kill the monsters behind it. Because this sword is now imbued with four elemental runes (as well as a spell that keeps the sword's edge continually sharp), it is now capable of harming the most powerful creatures in the Astral Plane. Including Eclipse.

How did this sword earn the name Godhunter? Well, at the end of the aforementioned quest, Ciara was in a tense stand-off against Eclipse. By a stroke of luck, she managed to cut Eclipse's arm clean off, which no ordinary sword would be able to do, because of the aforementioned ludicrously strong runes. It has become one of the only weapons that is able to wound Eclipse (besides her own scythe), and that is where it gets its name, Godhunter.

whew, this took a while! apologies if there's any gaps in my info, please let me know, i was writing this while also working on various school assignments. :DD

Sagittarius Zodiac by Tashina Suzuki

The Sagittarian is a born idealist; he is the young man who sees visions and the old man who dreams dreams. But there is no unpracticability in his idealism, for he is capable of foreseeing the outcome of a transaction from its very inception and the activity and directness of his character is typified in the ancient pictorial representation of Sagittarius as a centaur who holds a bow outstretched, about to speed an arrow straight to its mark.
