there should clearly be some entity like santa claus, or the various spooky beings, but for thanksgiving. some kind of legendary turkey, an ascended watchful pilgrim who returns once a year, anything - this is an obvious hole in the american year end narrative.
interesting development in mariology (theology of the virgin mary) a few days ago from the vatican. i read this book a few years ago and thought it was interesting if anyone is looking to pick something up: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/5d0e3e4f1c90aba437a7fe9b2529ecd2fbdc38766ccc54c9c42c92976cd28d11.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/e22426dd56158a71a8088ad0c694eb93c30b4eda2aa1b85c42b27785601f921f.file
here we are at the advent bazaar with owen jr a few years ago. always a good time. (comics are still paused as we are presently hustling a few last minute machinations.) https://hell.twtr.plus/media/33700d0057101cb2995372933d4bd249c575f3c8ec98745548d351e148aeb360.file

overall i think these are interesting as you're looking at the sun itself here. the idea of a light body or a luminosity associated with the spirit or divinity is essentially universal - such a strong theme that it even comes through in these otherwise modern "fine art" images: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/f2c491754f31acc2253ac71116019e524d1a36d6d4269ab64e06f23b3b1c5600.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/3bafd35dd627e843939b0a7f5076272f221b58021d785a5c900b3284ee6e074b.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/c36fb0b3e39e47f2fb4cbfca706d51da47c593a8eabace9eeee66a3d542f8d65.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b56d19efd23504de172009269cff4b7992f0472d36597b5307a5d113a1056974.file
some of the images are patterns. the glow gives them a kind of platonic or spiritual microscopic feeling, like something out of an angel laboratory, or something like chladni diagrams which we have previously covered - the patterns sound makes when vibrating in salt or sand: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/a75198402346913f4c655449478b7b5babb6f5743e48fedbde22333a5451adcc.file
i thought of this because of this image, which i cannot find a larger image of due to copyright reasons. its title is today's date, but 29 years ago: 'guest 12:38 pm 8th November 1996': https://hell.twtr.plus/media/6adb10aeb7a6681e3502720b75fca8073ba2e14c829d266163125a141a8cecfb.file
christopher bucklow is an artist who creates a multiple pinhole camera from a cardboard box to take photographs of the sun. by punching the holes out into patterns or silhouettes, these thousands of tiny sun photographs form odd glowing portraits of his friends and family: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/1d133ff97ca184191b49453e23a076eefd5c163f8a28f8521659a7f59350e224.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/0bc91f284526ece152a4f52af91093a89d03d38dc53320c95d06ed49b2db4156.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/71af2c83286a4766a8a5e4895a7ae8dd484c737567fac909d2283cc5f856cd1c.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/02e8db6302e2892f709d24a7b9f42ff579a8d6aa22f2a70516534afcad1d2935.file
