"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
– Eleanor Roosevelt
"Liberty is not an end, but a means. Whoever mistakes it for an end does not know what to do once he attains it."
Nicolás Gómez Dávila
"Nature is honest, there is no meanness in her composition, she has no time for fools, there is no place in her code for weaklings and degenerates. Out of her strength we gather our own strength. And it is good to be strong, to be able to endure, not as a brute beast, but as a thinking man imbued with the spirit of a great ideal."

Francis S. Smythe
Finally, we all arise from seed celestial,
Because the same sky overhead is
father of us all...
And that which was sent down to earth
from heaven's aethereal shore
Is taken up again into the quarters of the sky.

– Lucretius

“Am I in love? Absolutely. I'm in love with ancient philosophers, foreign painters, classic authors, and musicians who have died long ago. I'm a passionate lover. I fawn over these people. I have given them my heart and my soul. The trouble is, I'm unable to love anyone tangible. I have sacrificed a physical bond for a metaphysical relationship. I am the ultimate idealistic lover.”

— James Dean
"Some girls are full of heartache and poetry, and those are the kind of girls that try to save wolves instead of running away from them."

In the Battle of the Trees, faeries wage war against northern Wales.
The faeries' army includes many monsters, such as a huge black toad with a hundred claws, a gigantic monster with a hundred heads, and a speckled serpent whose back contains a hundred tortured souls.

The bard Taliesin supposedly witnessed it, and one of the poems of "The Book of Taliesin" describes the battle.

Right now I'm re-reading the Mabinogion. The classic book of the Welsh Gods and Goddess. It never ceases to amaze and inspire me. I can't reccomend it enough.

PARACELSUS IN EXCELSIS

"Being no longer human, why should I
Pretend humanity or don the frail attire?
Men have I known and men, but never one
Was grown so free an essence, or become
So simply element as what I am.
The mist goes from the mirror and I see.
Behold! the world of forms is swept beneath-
Turmoil grown visible beneath our peace,
And we that are grown formless, rise above-
Fluids intangible that have been men,
We seem as statues round whose high-risen base
Some overflowing river is run mad,
In us alone the element of calm."

~Ezra Pound

TRISKELION:


The Triskelion or Triskeles is one of the most popular Celtic Symbols throughout Celtic Landscapes, primarily found within Ireland & Scotland. It's main meaning can be found within the Unity of Earth, Water and Fire - This can be seen with the Three distinct Swirls, symbolizing the Harmonious Collective of the Elements themselves!

The Triskelion was typically imbued upon Druidic Ritual Sites, along their Staffs and through most of their Clothing to show their Divine Connection & Understanding of the Earth and it's Mystical Properties.

According to the Belief of the Ancients, all ornaments consist of the Thread of Life and the pattern cannot be changed, as it is granted by The Gods themselves! - Triskele Man is considered an Ancient Celtic Symbol, as within Celtic Mythology, he is the God of Spring and Summer — Whilst every Year, Century after Century he disappears and then returns, demonstrating the Process of Death and Rebirth, The Tide and Ebb, Life and Creation!
