Red K Elders

Thank you!

I’ve only just found out about this. I supported a writer I really love with an advance purchase of their book a couple of years ago. It did reach full funding, but I’ve never seen a book.
I guess that’s not going to happen and they’ve lost all of their funds? What a shitshow 🥺

Ah, the divine far-shooter, Lady Artemis 🏹

O Lady Kirke, Enchantress.
Hawk-eyed, gleaming with the honeyed blood of your father, Helios
twined with the Oceanid nymph-nature of Perse.

I’m going through a process of honouring each of the deities I have drawn forth through focused intention - for a full quarter moon.

The enchantress CIRCE is currently holding court:

Starting this week, I’m diving deep into the ancient mysteries behind each god and mythic being I’ve drawn forth through ritual and movement.

Robert! It is, it is. I’m long overdue a catch up with you! Currently neck deep in writing and research for my new class. Write and let me know how you are? 🖤✨

Holding both the possibility of witnessing the death of everything we love whilst also still being consistently sparked with the sublime beauty and wonder of life is the exquisite challenge of our times.
That holy crux where beauty and terror intersect is where real, deep and true great art emerges.

They delight me no end!

I we all need to see Circe for #caturday …

“I saw in his hand a long spear of gold, and at the iron's point there seemed to be a little fire. He appeared to me to be thrusting it at times into my heart, and to pierce my very entrails; when he drew it out, he seemed to draw them out also, and to leave me all on fire”

Courting plants and animals and tiny gods:
Show up in the same place frequently, in all your tender glory. Bring little gifts and stories. Ask them about themselves, and share your intimate secrets. Gradually holding hands. Listening - feeling - for what ripples beneath the silence. Swooning.

“Here in this body are the sacred rivers. Here are the sun & the moon, as well as all the pilgrimage places. I have not encountered another temple as blissful as my own body.”

“Art - real art - connects artists, and their art, and those who experience their art, to the metaphysical background of the world, to the imaginal world that lies deep within the physical.”

Ahhh 🖤✨
You know Medea almost came when Circe came… and did you see my early Zagreus?

I hold those dreams for you and the temple space! If they didn’t take so darn long to create, and I wasn’t so constantly pushed for time, I would gift you one. Yes let’s keep those dreams wild! 🖤🤞✨

Hey thank you Laura! It’s always good to know that even the digital versions seen online are touching and moving others. May every good and great abundance come to you! 🖤✨

I was just speaking of @rkelders.bsky.social's #CIRCE image last night, and how I think she's next to earn a space in my growing gallery of a shrine. Her eyes hold the intensity of a darkened sky, her hands stretched with power; she is a Witch Queen, and she's never looked better.

YASSS. Love how you’re feeling her enlivening, quickening, already! 🖤✨

I have some esoteric 'tools' in my #PocketsOfResistance, and I found one of them today by accident. An opportunity arose that allows me to help bring some relief to people, even if briefly. Its form was unexpected. Look in your own small sphere, and I bet you will find something similar.
#KeepGoing

With the anticipated tariffs that will soon come into effect for items sent from UK to USA, I have decided to absorb my increase in production costs and not raise my prices at all this year. People of USA already have enough change to deal with, and I want even more of these divine messengers there.

Seems we need the magic, courage and fortitude of divine forces more than ever right now. My pledge to these ones as I was drawing them was to get them into the hands, homes and hearts of all those who really need their benevolent blessings.

#CIRCE s enchantments reveal the true nature of things.

Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.
