/tg/ request for a blind oni-style tiefling with vitiligo perching on her tetsubo, wrapped in tattered scrolls.
it’s gogo ~
lilith aesthetic (requested)
more here // request here
Honestly, I really love the essence of Lilith and what she represents. She’s seen to be a threat to others, and is rejected and shamed by others due to that… But with that rejection, she can either be powerful and free or spread the rejection she’s felt on a constant basis. Lilith is so powerful, honestly. When I think of Lilith, I think of a dark, black snake that is secretive, powerful, yet slippery from the grips of society. Even though people try their hardest to suppress Lilith, they can never get rid of her completely.
When you apply this to your chart, you have to ask yourself: Where in my life do I feel rejected? Where in my life do I feel powerful… but for some reason, I can’t show it because it’s too provocative? Where in my life do I feel secretly empowered? Where in my life do I harshly reject myself? Lilith, if it’s prominent in your chart, can answer those questions.
Lilith by Franz von Stuck, c.1891.
1. Portrait of an African Nobleman, Jan Mostaert. Netherlands, c. 1525. Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
2. Pilgrim Badge of Saint Mary of Hal. Belgium or Netherlands, c. 500-1500. Gilded Silver, 1.51 cm.
This gilded Pilgrim’s Badge is the one featured in the portrait above. From the British Museum Curator’s Comments:
St Mary of Hal was an important pilgrim site for the Hapsburgs, especially Charles V, who visited several times, and the Valois kings. Two silver versions of this token survive, another in Munich and one on the binding of HRE Ferdinand’s Book of Hours.
One is shown worn as a hatbadge in Mostaert’s Portrait of a Black African in the Rijksmuseum. See Jos Koldewej, FOi et bonne fortune, parure et devotion en flandre medievale, Arnhem 2006, p. 46 fig. 3.3 and 3.4, for Munich badge and portrait and p., 55 for analysis of its importance in the picture.
His name is Christoph le Mor, and it is a personal frustration that few sources bother to identify him.
“As soon as Charles heard the news in 1519 that he was to be crowned King [of the Holy Roman Empire], he went…on a pilgrimage to Our Lady of Halle, a sanctuary not far south of Brussels. Charles had been there before and had bought badges of silver and gold for himself and his close retinue, as well as pewter and lead ones for the lower ranks. One of his personal guards, a certain Cristoph le Mohr, got such a badge of precious metal.” - p. 199, Jos Koldeweij, “Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges” in From minor to major: the minor arts in Medieval art history.
Ahh! Thank you! I had seen the name given before, and was hoping someone would have a corroborating source. I’ve griped heartily about the crappiness of attribution, the lack of naming even when the name is known, and have been guilty of misattributing or misnaming paintings before this.
I really wish there was more cooperation between disciplines when it comes to research like this. It also makes me overjoyed that people read medievalpoc and add their knowledge from their specific discipline or field of interest, because that’s how we learn more about these images and texts.

Today c:
"It's a play that portrays young women as powerful leaders, guides, sages. And I think that's important right now," says director Amanda McRaven. "It's a play that normalizes a gay central character which I think is really important... It is a highly theatrical event that invigorates the space between people and allows the audience to experience something alive that they can't find anywhere else." She Kills Monsters opens Friday, February 17, and closes on Sunday, February 26 with a preview performance on Thursday, February 16. Performances run Tuesday through Saturday at 8pm, with three matinee performances at 2pm on Saturday, February 18, Saturday, February 25, and Sunday, February 26. Performances are in the Studio Theatre, inside the Theatre Arts Building, on the southeast corner of the CSULB campus, accessible via East Campus Drive. Tickets are $17 for general admission and $14 for seniors, students, and CSULB faculty and staff (with valid ID). Parking is available for $7 in CSULB Parking Lot 7, next to the theatre.
