my dash is filled with that same quote from the same author/book over and over again, so i’m dropping my top five favorite sufi literary masterpieces in case anyone wants to expand their reading horizons beyond orientalist nonsense

1. the divan of hafez shirazi

2. the conference of the birds, fariduddin attar

3. the divan of nasimi

4. the khamsa of nizami ganjavi

5. the masnavi of mevlana jalaluddin muhammad rumi

[aprilsjesusblogging]

I admit this is the kind of thing that reminds me that I know very little theologians or how they think; I was guessing on a lot of these!

I got Boethius, whom I know nothing about. But it's clear the quiz doesn't really know where to put me, which is fine--

--I got some other cool people :D

Roman lararium (tufa, c. 1st to 2nd century AD)

Designed like a temple in miniature with pilasters, steps leading up, an eagle in the pediment and a different fruit behind each palmette acroterion, this would have stood in a wealthy Roman house or garden. From the time of Augustus onwards every Roman household would have had a lararium for the lar familiaris, the household deity that protected the members of the family, ensuring their health and prosperity, as well as other gods favoured by the family.

My small little Christian town used to have a May Day festival complete with a May Pole. I didn’t realize how weird it was until later.
