Collecting aesthetics and edits, writing some things when the mood takes me. The usual. Call me Pan if you like. This is my aesthetic blog where I mainly post my own creations with other cool things, though it tends to go slowly when life calls. Enjoy!

Beings of myth; Medusa

“…upon that perfect countenance was the mark of eternal pain, of deathless agony and suffering past words… in the wide eyes seemed yet to lurk the flame of an unquenchable fire; while around the fair brows, in place of hair, curled and coiled the stark bodies of venomous serpents.”  
― Gertrude Bacon

    Witchcraft; Japan
Cracked earth, the soft swish of silken fabrics, whispered spells and ancient calligraphy. 

“Most people are blind to magic. They move through a blank and empty world. They’re bored with their lives, and there’s nothing they can do about it. They’re eaten alive by longing, and they’re dead before they die.” 
― Lev Grossman, The Magicians

Beings of myth; Faeries, ‘realm of the fay’

“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.”

Beings of the Ancient World; Oracle, from the Latin verb ōrāre, meaning ‘to speak’. 

“Servant of the Delphian Apollo
Go to the Castallian Spring
Wash in its silvery eddies,
And return cleansed to the temple.
Guard your lips from offence
To those who ask for oracles.
Let the God’s answer come
Pure from all private fault”
