Morte di Icaro 1743

Paul Ambroise Slodtz

[medicinanocturna]

Your right book on the Shipibo-Conibo tradition and all its hidden perils and gifts...

If you are drawn to shamanism, indigenous wisdom, depth psychology, and the transformative power of plant medicine, The Echo of Ucayali is the book for you.

This non-fiction journey into the world of Shipibo-Conibo medicine and traditions is both an anthropological exploration and a mystical adventure—based on real events and told in the first person.

The book delves into the luminous as well as the shadowed dimensions of this incredibly rich ancestral lineage: the spirits of the Amazon, the gifts and hidden perils of its sacred plants, the profound meaning of confianza, kené, ícaros, and shamanic contracts, and the fragile balance between light and darkness in a realm where energy is the ultimate currency.

The Echo of Ucayali is a textured narrative full of insight, adventure, and mysticism that offers a rare window into a hidden world bridging the ancient and the modern. https://www.amazon.com/Echo-Ucayali-Alexandra-Sheren-ebook/dp/B0FN86C69X/

“How I loathe to become accustomed to this grave, To be what I once was - that is all I crave.”

Extract of “Why so many candles” by Bolesław Leśmian, translated by Stefano Salsicciao.

Can’t stop thinking about the mirroring between V and Icarus made by Mr. Blue eyes at the end of my run.

[nonefrancesca]

Icarus didn’t fall from pride.

He fell because he was human.

The wings — symbols of what we dare to dream.

The missing head — the price of a flight with no return.

And yet, every time we long for something beyond the possible,

we are invoking him.

Not to imitate,

but to remember that to fly is not a mistake. It’s a choice.

“Non sono mai stato sicuro che la morale della storia di Icaro dovesse essere: non tentare di volare più in alto”, come viene intesa in genere e mi sono chiesto se non si potesse interpretarla in un modo diverso: “Dimentica la cera e le piume e costruisci ali più solide”.

— Stanley Kubrick
