The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/category/features/arts-culture/page/7)
A new exhibition at Denmark’s National Museum uses the figure of the völva, a female oracle and sorcerer, to explore how pre-Christian Scandinavians thought of time, religion, and destiny.
Soy un fanático nato de la fantasía. Si llevan esa misma fantasía, cosas que deberían ser imposibles, a la vida real, caigo enamorado. Tengo esta fascinación por las criaturas imposibles. Algunos los llaman críptidos, otros monstruos, otros simplemente figuras y personajes del folclore y la mitología. Yo los llamo cultura. Por eso decidí darle una oportunidad a echarle el guante a Cryptids, Creatures & Critters: A Manual of Monsters & Mythos from Around the World, por Rachel Quinney.
I’m a natural born sucker for fantasy. Bring that same fantasy, things that should be impossible, to real life, and I am all yours. I have this fascination for impossible creatures. Some call them cryptids, some monsters, others just figures and characters from folklore and mythology. I call them culture. That’s why I decided to get my hands on Cryptids, Creatures & Critters: A Manual of Monsters & Mythos from Around the World, by Rachel Quinney.
Sometimes, the Mead of Poetry works indirectly. An old rock ‘n’ roll song is stuck on repeat in my head, spinning unceasingly between my ears. Actually, it’s not even an entire song. It’s just a verse or a chorus or sometimes only a line or two. Someone else’s creative creation gets lodged in there, doing work on my mind that only I can hear.
Kerli released each song on OVERSOUL as a single, one each month. I felt the magic and the power in each of them. The lyrics are direct and evocative, auditive spells that help the listener manifest the kind of reality they need depending on the case. When listened to as one whole disc, we get a full ritual that recharges, empowers, and cleanses us.
