🧙‍♀️ Consider the power of pomegranate in your next fertility spell, because just as pomegranate is rife with seeds, so too is it full of powerful, fertile energy. Its power is also mystical, divine and immortal, which lends itself well when diving deep into timeless and ancient energies. Pomegranates are a powerful symbol of the world within and the world around us, and a powerful reminder of the abundance of gifts and magic that exists in the world unseen.

Suggested to me via anon messaging, I think this is a good idea to share some Beethoven with people who don’t know where to start, or anyone who already likes my blog posts and wants to read my little write ups. So, here are all of the Beethoven posts I have made on my blog so far. Each time I write a new post, I’ll make sure to add it to the list.

The Veiled Christ by Giuseppe Sanmartino, 1753

Giuseppe Sanmartino, The Veiled Christ, 1753, Sansevero Chapel

In the nave of the Sansevero Chapel in Naples is the Veiled Christ by Giuseppe Sanmartino. This is a sculpture of Jesus after his crucifixion, lying on his back, covered with a thin shroud edged with intricate embroidery. The shroud, although carved from the same marble slab as the statue is so transparent and thin, you can make out the tiniest details in the sculpture such as the nail holes in his feet and hands, his ribs, a swollen vein in his forehead, and his facial expression. Some claim that the shroud was created from alchemy.

Heart of Glass (1976)

During shooting, almost all of the actors performed while under hypnosis. Every actor in every scene was hypnotized, with the exception of the character Hias and the professional glassblowers who appear in the film. The hypnotized actors give very strange performances, which Herzog intended to suggest the trance-like state of the townspeople in the story. Herzog provided the actors with most of their dialogue, memorised during hypnosis. However, many of the hypnotised actors’ gestures and movements occurred spontaneously during filming.
