Earthen Opus seeks to explore the inner workings of the creative process through art, literature,
storytelling, and the spoken word.
Once upon a time, something in my peripheral vision distracted me, strange reflections in my reading glasses.
It was then I began to think about the “evens”, those strange and mysterious liminal spaces.
It’s in those spaces that the “shadows” dwell and move and have their being.
Dawn, dusk....crossroads at night, graveyards, places where the waters inhabit, mirrors,
reflections, echoes, lonely and dusty roads, ruins....each of these, an “in-between”.
Art itself is a place of liminality, between seeing and “seeing”, and it is within the practice of this discipline
that one begins to realize that there is more than one way to use one's sight, and there is more than one
kind of sight.
These are the places that embody the mysteries of our glorious and magical world.
These are the places I attempt to explore.

The descent of Inana into the underworld
The Sumerian poem, The Descent of Inanna (c. 1900-1600 BCE) is a chronicle of the journey of Inanna, Great goddess and Queen of Heaven, from her realm in the upper world into the realms of the underworld where her recently widowed sister Ereshkigal, Queen of the Dead, awaits her.
The poem proceeds to describe Inanna's journey, accompanied by her faithful servant and advisor Ninshubur, wherein she gives her instructions on what to do in case she does not return.
The text concludes by describing how Inana is forced to decide who to exchange in her place so she will not be eternally imprisoned there.
NOTE:
I have taken quite a few liberties by blending some translations, among them
Wolkstein and Kramers, in order to give the story more explanation and depth.
I have also filled in the sections of missing text/lacunae so that there is continuity in the story line from beginning to end.

The T'ai-Shang Kan-Ying P'ien is a key text about Taoist morality, piety and ethics. It is somewhat comparable to Lao Tze's Tao-Teh-King, but its moral maxims are presented with a more direct methodology. The words "Kan", "response," and "Ying", "retribution," allude to the meaning that in the spiritual realm of heaven there is "a reaction" to what we do and how we act, and, afterward, there is...

How to draw spirits into crystals

Trithemius is best known for his Steganographia, but his other works include this short grimoire on the use of crystals in the summoning of celestial spirits. The Art of Drawing Spirits Into Crystals (DSIC), has been attributed to the abbot of Spanheim, Johannes Trithemius, however, many surmise that the document was more likely heavily “borrowed” from Francis Barretts The Magus, or Celestial I...

Fascinating - thanks for making these. The 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet correspond with these Lunar Mansions.
It's my pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Inanna reminds me of Isis & quite possibly BOTH ORPHEUS *&* EURYDICE in one. & I'm subscribed.
I very much agree with you about Isis, I also think that Dumuzi has many parallels To Tammuz as well as Osiris... Thank you for your support !

U must be a witch or a female who lives her life in a magical way.. ..crystals holding memories from the beginning of time depending on the crystal i like the sound when i rub 2 specific crystals together the sound nearly levitates things sounds of a chromatic vibration

Can you make videos about teaching magic (not in yt in some kind of website)
Well, it's certainly food for thought, I'll definitely consider it!
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
thank you for sharing the prayer !
Thank you for your appreciation. Im happy to share these inspiring words with others!
This is a recitation, not a hymn. Hymns are sung. But this is not the only video I've come across doing this. All the "Orphic hymns" I've listened to are spoken voice readings or recitations.
True. It is a hymn, and I did recite it. There are many others on YT who have sung it, even in its original language. However, that is not my goal. My goal is to express it into the world, in the best manner that i am able, which is through recitation. There is dogma in regard to how it is presented. I am not bound by that.
i don't understand Image thing im i suppose to draw them? If so can i copy the images you've shown?
Hi! The images i've "created" are done with A.I. They are based upon descriptions in each passage that I recited. None of these are literal, they are only "fanciful" in order to help the visual flow of the "story". They help to give some sort of a clue to how an image "might be" made. If you feel inspired by them, feel free to use them for ideas, but I would appreciate it if you would not copy them verbatim.
@@earthenopus333 oh ok thanks !
this is awsome, thank you
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it!

That was lovely. I would love to hear about the other sephirah. Many thanks! Very happy to have discovered your channel.
Thank you very much, I hope to be crafting something in regard to that in the near future.
Thank you. Beautifully read with amazong tender music and pictures
I am glad you enjoyed it!
Nice one
Thanks for watching
Why isnt this in latin
Because the reading I have done here is taken verbatim from Thomas Taylors translation.
And I do the same hymns to the planets as well as the elemental prayers too Nice to meet you
Wondeful! They are a great daily/weekly part of practice. So nice to meet you as well!
This is pretty cool cuz I must have read this out loud many times but never heard anyone actually speak it out loud like this Hearing another human being say this prayer adds a whole dynamic to it 🎉🎉🎉🎉 🙏
I really appreciate your comment! Thank you!
ZEUS not jupiter
The reading (including the title) is verbatim of Thomas Taylors translation (the translation was approved by the Committee For The Greek Religion), I made no changes, so you'll have to take that up with him, though he may be a little difficult to make contact with.
@@earthenopus333 😄 nice one
Breathtakingly beautiful
I really appreciate your compliment!
I love this so much. I'm actually a big fan of your content on here, & use some of it everyday in my own practice. 😊 May your days be blessed.
