Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. De Occulta Philosophia. 1533.
Sigils of the fixed stars and constellations. In the Hermetic tradition — which holds that hidden correspondences link celestial bodies to earthly phenomena — sigils were signs constructed from geomantic figures. These were patterns generated by making random marks and reducing them to rows of dots. Connecting them in various ways produced a unique shape assigned to a star or constellation and used in talismans and rituals to invoke those bodies' power.
Pictured top to bottom: Caput Algol, Pleiades, Aldebaran, Hircus, Canis Major, Canis Minor, Cor Leonis, Cauda Ursae, Ala Corui, Spica, Alchameth, Elpheia, Cor Scorpii, Vultur Cadens, and Cauda Capricorni.

“Tact, like empathy, is based on a certain form of mutual understanding. But while empathy implies the idea of entering someone else’s mind inasmuch as it is linked to the presumption that ‘I know how you feel’, tact exists to create a form of bonding between individuals that is not based on the idea of intrusion but, conversely, on the respect for existing boundaries, and on a willingness not always to assume that one knows. While empathy requires resonance and proximity, tact is there to restore distance, and to accept the difference between the individuals involved in order to protect and preserve their dignity. Tact is based on an attention towards otherness.”
— Katja Haustein, “How to Be Alone with Others: Plessner, Adorno, and Barthes on Tact” (via mehreenkasana)
the sewing machine is a delicate breed of horse
update: i’ve made it through the user manual and have sewn myself a cravat. the sewing machine is a delicate breed of horse with anger in its motion and spite in its heart.
Sigourney Weaver by Robert Mapplethorpe, 1989
Huey, my favorite lesson horse from my old barn, is being put to sleep today.
He had a racing injury that was only getting worse over time, and despite two surgeries to treat it, his outlook was bleak. I haven't seen him in a couple months. I said goodbye to him then knowing that it would almost certainly be the last time I saw him.
So - one last time.
Goodbye, Huey. You were a goofy and wonderful boy, and this shouldn't have been your time. I wish you had a longer life free from pain to play out your antics, and I will miss you.

I know nobody wants to reblog art with a caption about a dying pet, but I'm not posting this to get reblogs. I'm sharing it this way because...it matters to me. It matters to me that people know about and acknowledge the lives of those who die, even if only briefly and in tiny ways. I treasure knowing about the pets of mutuals online, or even of complete strangers, and I want to know if they pass away. I want to hold my tiny piece of their memory safely, to keep it with me throughout my life as a record of their existence. And...I hope that if you're reading this, you'll think about Huey for a moment too.
Picture a big red gelding, only eight, a klutz and a troublemaker, constantly finding ways to destroy inanimate objects and give himself little bumps and cuts (or big ones that needed sutures, sometimes). Picture a sweet and earnest boy with a blocky head, roman nose, and big knees, who loved mischief but tried his hardest for his riders (once he learned what we were asking from him). Picture him rolling in the dirt after a bath. Picture him grazing with Skip and Barry. Picture him happy, please. He's worth remembering.
