Any recommendations for esoteric books with particularly interesting or evocative illustrations, either core to the text or marginal?

IAO: Ophite Iconography, by Anathema Publishing is one of my prized posessions

"I asked chatgpt-"

Well I asked the host of the community radio station of a small desert town and he said "Don't let numbers tell you what to do. You are blood and earth, not theory and chalk", so maybe think about that.

breaking a 4 year and 10 month silence to reveal that i am truly fucking unbelievably crazy was a horrible mistake. necessary, i suppose, but i wish i hadn't been crazy enough in the first place to cause this kind of pain. yeah i'll come back from this or whatever. but i'm really angry and i wish i wasn't me.

what if you loved someone for 4 years but they were a thickheaded schmuck the entire time. and you didnt even try to fix them because they seemed pretty keen on fixing themself. but they didnt. but you knew they could. and you did your best. but they were still a cock. and you knew they were capable of better. but not while you knew them. and you thought that after years had passed and you gained maturity that their experience would make more sense to you. and then it didn't. and in a normal perfect world you'd be owed an apology. and maybe you could get one. if you were bold and played your cards right. and they had said they didn't hate you, and that maybe you'd connect later. but you don't know when later is. and it's kind of the apocalypse, and the matrix is ticking away. and you already had 13 apocalypses in your chest. while you were together. would it then be, the most fucked up thing to try to talk to them, before maybe the last apocalypse erases us. and even if they say nevermind, and leave you on seen, you can say you tried. would it be sane?

so many dreams and guesses and feelings, i have no way of trusting which are closest to reality, so its safer to assume nothing

The linden tree, lime tree or Basswood symbolises love, friendship, healing and good fortune in many cultures the world over. It is the sacred tree of the goddesses Venus, Freyja and Laima. Some say if you fall asleep under its shade, you will awake in fairyland.

Druid Tree Lore Beech Queen:

She is Queen of the Woods; her consort is the Oak King

Pieces of beech wood worn as a charm, bring good fortune

In German lore, it was believed that newborn babies were picked out a hollow beech tree, rather than being delivered by a stork.

and if you’re still looking for a blanket, sweetie

im sorry, im no sort of fabric

but if you need a tailor

then take your torn shirt

and stumble up my stairs

and mumble your pitiful prayers

and in your tangled, knotted sleep

our midnight needles go to work

until all comfort and fear

flows in one river

down in the shop by the mirror

where you see yourself whole

and it makes you shiver

i am bad at unpacking

the shape of a cardboard box is lacking

softness, although

cardboard is weak. the corners round over time

i’m not here for long. i dont possess anything mine

i put it away, out of sight out of mind

right?

right…

maybe you projected.

but i’ll be a silver screen

if that’s what it means to be seen.

maybe this twitch in my eye is a feeling

that when i stare at my ceiling, the clock is never right

and i dream enough at night

for the both of us.

it’s 9:45

is it me? Is it alive?

can you feel my waves or did you turn off the reception?

in the meantime i’ll just stew in my memory

and chip away the holes in my perception
