SALOMÉ

[vilhem]

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars

Luxuriously carnal, voluptuous and dangerous-femme fatale?. Perhaps.

Literally translated, femme fatale is French for "deadly woman." Her archetypes are both Lilith and Eve. She is Jezebel, Delilah, and

In older paintings, Mary is also shown as having the moon under her foot and the sun as a crown - or a halo, which represents a very similar idea. Stars are often painted as part of the background of sky, their other meaning easily overlooked. The moon under the foot represents the person having gained mastery/control over their own negations/inhibitions/limitations (to the degree to which is possible with that particular person). The solar symbol is male, of course, but the true priestess was known by her ability to channel solar energy - hence she "became a man"; which is not to imply that men are in any way superior to woman, that male energy is in any way "better" than female. Remember the two pillars, one black, one white? Both are equal opposites

Man is not better than woman, of course not. We need each other (looking at poor Bijoux)
I knew you would love this post, dragons and solar energy is your passion as it is mine.

Women and Stars

[havok7]

Perhaps the development of my soul is the final piece of this puzzle. It seems that my soul attracts people/events.. in a very calculated manor. A woman crowned with stars. Makes me think of the nights on the boat spent laying out, staring towards the clearest night sky I'd ever seen. Someone who shared my wonderment with the stars. Which sparked my wonderment with her. How can two souls speak in silence? Where we both can hear. Yet there are obstacles...... Vil, I may need you here. She is a seeker of knowledge like myself, she can appreciate beautiful poetry.... she knows fluent Spanish... give me a key. Something to send her maybe.

Oh my go, stop this or I will try to steal her from you! I don´t post in Spanish because nobody understands except Marya, Sergio and Allen. But I will try to find something for her. Oh, wait, there is a poem I posted

*let's out an almighty roar* Mew. *laughs*

I love those images though. This reminds me I must do my Freya thread. ^.^ Oh yes, I have some cool news, two things actually.

Blessed be
Lilith.
