#etruscan things

[thoodleoo]

of all the cthonic deities i've learned of i think the etruscan charun is probably my favorite. like you know what one of our guides and protectors of the underworld needs? big hammer.

becoming very much obsessed with lions on etruscan vases. like. look at them.

What we have to realise in looking at etruscan things is that they reveal the last glimpses of a human cosmic consciousness -- or human attempt at cosmic consciousness -- different from our own.
