blooming right beside me
whispers gently:
“O, whatever has perished returns everlastingly to us!”

The story of the ‘Everywoman’ art in nail and hair salons throughout the world
You may have seen images of this pop-art, 80’s style expression of beauty if you get your hair done or nails done in any retro salon. There is an obscure reason why her image and this style have been so pervasive over the decades…she unobtrusively represents the everywoman. We project our hopeful glamorous futures upon her.

Healing and development can be greatly aided by engaging in Shadow Work. We may face our anxieties, uncertainties, and past traumas by exposing them to the light. This method can enhance our insight, boost our confidence, and promote positive interactions with others. Doing so allows us to free ourselves from habits that no longer serve us and go on with renewed focus and determination.

Q. Why did ancient Egyptians create hieroglyphs in profile?
This is an interesting post by my interesting new friend Aladin or Lamp Magician as he is known on here.
Lamp Magician points out that not all ancient Egyptian art is in profile, however a lot of it is – there is a fascinating reason behind this!
Where in modern art a vanishing point defines perspective, depth, allowing for an understanding of space and time – with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs “there is no time, no space; we are everywhere and all the time”
Egyptians juxtaposed another technique to transcribe movement and time: elements are painted from the front on subjects from the side, thus making visible what was invisible. For example, an eye appears from the front on a face in profile; it can then be represented wide open to signify that the character is doing something.
Lamp Magician – definitely worthy of following!
What’s the difference between a tavern, an inn and an alehouse?
I have always wondered what the difference is between these terms, especially while travelling through England where you have all of these kinds of pubs with these different names. The differences, which are rooted in historical use and localised agriculture are indeed fascinating.
Debonaire, daring horseman/historian Jason Kingsley talks through the historical origins of these terms. This is an excellent YT channel to subscribe to!

Darrel Rhea – Flowers and Mermaids
“A golden girl, a mixture of flower and mermaid, full of light and grace, the sight of whom is also sad, in that she carries with her, on her route to the sea, the feeling of youth that fades, of the beauty that is not ours alone—it is a gift of life in its beautiful and melancholic constant ebb and flow.”
