ET IN ARCADIA EGO
I’m kinda changing my posts a little now, rather than typing about interesting stuff I have read in The Invisibles, Promethea and Crowley’s Magick I’m going to type about anything occult I find of interest in the many books, or articles, I read, I found my previous posts to be a tad stagnant, when they should be far more fantastical, considering the nature of what I am typing about.
The painting The Arcadian Shepherds, and a second painting by the same artist Nicolas Poussin, depicts the words ‘Et In Arcadia Ego’ upon a tomb, the tomb surrounded by shepherds. I came across the mention of these paintings way back in the good, or bad, old Nineties, when I was reading a book, the name of which I forget, though around the same time, as I stumbled through a huge obsession with conspiracy theory, I read The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail, which later in the early Twentieth Century was popularised by Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, and also mentions the Poussin paintings, obviously in connection with Rennes Le Chateau.
In Grant Morrison’s The Invisibles the group receive a postcard of a Poussin painting, which leads to a great, and strange, adventure.
There’s a mystery conspiracy surrounding the Latin phrase ‘Et In Arcadia Ego’ the conspiracy being that the painting depicts the hidden tomb of Jesus Christ, located somewhere in France, perhaps near Rennes Le Chateau, it’s a fascinating idea, and I admit one I can quite happily accept, even though it’s not true, after all there’s the entire being rational and then there’s being, stuff rationality let’s embrace insanity, it’s far more fun and interesting. Though some would disagree.
Is there any truth that Poussin’s paintings depict the tomb of Christ? No of course not, there never was a Christ in the first place, fictional character and all that. Like Superman is, I’m watching the Christopher Reeve movie as I type, yes I can multi task, awesome, eh?
The occult, and conspiracies, are awesome topics to study. Though it’s imperative to keep an open mind and accept that most, if not all, are merely fictions, and in some cases the ravings of the crazed, but I am glad that I embraced such craziness, it certainly made my mundane existence far more interesting at the time. Studying and practicing (a little) the occult in these crazy present days is certainly making my mundane life far more interesting than it is.
For more information on Et In Arcadia Ego this website: http://et-in-arcadia-ego.mezzo-mondo.com/et-in-arcadia-ego.html is certainly interesting and contains plenty of information for interested folk to pursue further. I can just about remember most of the conspiracy truths, or nonsense, I have ever read, but unfortunately cannot remember my own name.
MAGICKAL PRACTICE
Last night, Sunday, I managed just under four minutes meditation before my mind conspired against me and prevented my continued meditative state. I didn’t really manage a good piece of meditation at all, for some reason I failed to become relaxed, my entire body felt tense and unyielding.
CONTACTEES
While reading, various, articles on this here Internet thingy I stumbled across this; http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2012/01/a-sensational-saucer-saga/ as a small child I had a fascination for the UFO phenomenon, was quite literally convinced that aliens were visiting the Earth and that one day they would announce their presence here, this fascination stemmed from a love of all things science fiction, an interesting that has never died, I am GEEK and proud is my resounding motto.
Before abductees, and their demonic abductors, was the contactees and their angelic contactors(?) the contactees were, are, more interesting than the abductees, it’s strange how culture has changed that our fantasies have become almost nightmarish, if I had a choice I’d sooner be a contactee than an abductee, wouldn’t you?
There’s quite a few semi famous contactees that a lot of people will already be aware of, George Adamski and Billy Meier the most famous, I would assume, it’s weird that there’s no reports, to my knowledge, of contactees anymore, of strange Aryan people from Venus, now we get reptilian like Zeta Reticulians sticking stuff in people’s bottoms, which while still being weird is also a violation, it’s rape, plus these little grey lizards attack and eviscerate cattle, for what reason? Surely they’d have the technology to clone their own cattle, or grow cattle from scratch in huge vats, negating the potentially dangerous journey to planet Earth.
The beings that contacted people like Adamski always reminded me off those strange Elven beings that contacted, or abducted, people in the British Isles hundreds of years ago, claiming to originate in far off mystical lands, claiming to be superior, and possessing the ability to crush us at will if we didn’t mend our destructive ways. I think that’s the thing about the alien phenomenon the Aryan humanoids are akin to Tolkien Elves the little grey fellas like Tolkien Goblins, whose side are you on?
