New Testament epistolarians: we cant have women being leaders in the church, or preachers, or heads of their households, sit down ladies
Actual Jesus: reveals his resurrection first to Mary Magdalene, has her be the one to bring the news, gives the gospel to a woman first, only steps in to show himself to the men when they don’t all listen to her
HAPPY EASTER! 🐇🐰 - Growing up, I never really liked Easter. I thought it was kind of girly with the bunnies and the flowers and pink and purple colors. Also, growing up Catholic, I never understood what in the hell rabbits and eggs had to do with the Christian Easter I experienced in my youth. As I explore the roots of these motifs, and where they actually come from, I realized how old and profound the imagery associated with the Easter season really is. - The term “Easter” comes from a pre-Christian goddess Ēostre. The medieval historian Bede, attests to the Old English/Saxon cult of Ēostre, goddess of the dawn, fecundity, and the coming of the spring. The significance of this goddess was pervasive throughout the Germanic tribes as she was called “Ostara” in Old High German. Archetypes of the mad march hares and eggs are testaments to the change of seasons and the return of the sun after the long dark winter days. Rabbits and hares have a prominent role in heathen and folk customs. Even up into modern times, those accused of witchcraft were said to use rabbits as their “familiars” to roam the land doing their bidding. - The significance of this imagery and the fact that it is still very much with us today inspired me to do this portrait of Ēostre surrounded by the traditional imagery of hares/rabbits, decorated eggs, and flowers. You’ll see the rising sun of the dawn that she represents rising behind her. Look closely for more hidden details. - This is, by far, the most colorful work I’ve ever done. It’s been nice to creep out of my comfort zone as an artist and explore new and different inspirations. - This portrait of Ēostre is available on posters, prints, apparel and more. LINK IN BIO.

"Happy Easter"

These simple phylacteries cost almost nothing to make and look awesome. I made two sets, one for me and one for my friend who gave me the sweet Egyptian reed shoes. Because I made another protective piece of jewelry today out of some spare medals and broken rosaries I had lying around, I swiped the crucifix from an old set of beads and strung it as a centerpiece to my set of scrolls here.
These specific sets were made in the style and fashion of the Enchiridion of Pope Leo, which is the current basis for my daily maitenance. In the bottle to the right are the “names of Jesus Christ”. In the bottle to the left, the names of Mary. While several of the names are standard to mainstream Christian religion (Virgin, Trinity, Savior, Mother, etc) many of them are simply nouns. In Mary’s list, “stone”, “pomegranate”, “ladder,” “arch,” “moon,” and “trumpet” are only some of the simple but potent names listed for her. Similarly, some of the “names” of Jesus included the nouns “doctor,” “worm,” “speech,” “lion,” “ram,” “doorway,” and “spring”. In total, 74 names are listed for Christ, and 62 are given for Mary. I was delighted especially by the deeply archetypal language of these poignant images as “names”.
Of the names and their use, the Enchiridion states, “Here are the names of Jesus Christ. Whoever wears them while traveling, on the Earth or by Sea, will be preserved from all kinds of dangers and perils, if they are said with faith and devotion.”
Much of the Enchiridion that is not concerned with orisons is in constructing phylacteries, seals, and protective talismans to use while communicating with spirits. This act is always under the pretense that God provides the spirits for “the use of the faithful”, as tools to be compelled for the enrichment of their lives, as in the “Orison Against All Kinds of Charms” in the very beginning of the book, and not simply a talisman to subdue demons or rebuke them.
Although the Enchiridion is a product of the later Medieval period, the use of phylacteries using divine names to protect the exorcist from spirits is a practice that goes at least all the way back to the first century, appearing in the Greek magical papyrus. One example instructs the operant to make phylacteries bearing the mystical names of Selene, so that when the magician called Hekate or Selene forth, she would not be able to grab the conjurer’s body and break their neck by hurling him or her to the earth.
Even though my hands cramped up making these I’m delighted how they turned out.
Old post is good post
A good Easter post. I’ve reblogged these a couple times before but I’m still damn proud of them.
"The kingdom of God is the dynamic aspect of God. It means that God is everywhere, God is among us, within us, and outside us, and we are already in God. In saying that the kingdom of God is at hand, Jesus was announcing an eternal and universal truth. But how do we realize this truth? How do we make real the experience of discovering that God's Kingdom (the divine realm) is as close as breath?... To find God, each person has to transcend his or her identification with the body, with the individual soul, and even the universal soul, and only then can the 'One' God or kingdom of God be found."
- Brother Martin
"Orthodoxy's front door is gilded, but the rusty back door of the early church remains ajar -- the one leading to the kitchen behind the creedal looking glass. There sits Jesus, cross-legged, amid the steam and misery of the world... His message is non-judgmental presence. Without saying a word, the crowd gets it: we all matter; no exceptions."
