I'm deep in some magical symbolism currently and I'm discovering a lot of things that have been coming through, even just straight into my mind, have ancient precedent which is extremely obscure and rare, knowledge which I'm being shown through strange pathways. The themes have to do with Centaurs, but nothing from the straightforward myths or popular understandings that are mainstream regarding that theme. Chiron supposedly means "hand", which is why I connected it to the Bane thread, since the symbol of Bane is a black hand and sometimes an armored black hand.
"
Banes are spirits in service of the Wyrm in its modern role as the bringer of the Apocalypse. Other Wyrmish spirits exist which fulfil the Wyrm's purpose in a more sustainable and natural way, but those tend not to draw as much attention as the malevolent and destructive Banes, and are thus typically ignored.

So the words Larissa, this Shoragg thing with the nme Nidhogg instead, and laying with a Pharoanic looking crook have been occurring m, among many other things:
"
The crook across the waist is somewhat reminiscent of Egypt.
"
That is from a document describing an early Centaur image.
"
Phlegethon was the third layer of Pandemonium.[2][3] It contained the divine realms of Diirinka[4] and Ibrandul,[5] and was one of the locations of the Unseelie Court in some versions of the Great Wheel cosmology.[3][6]

Wow, so this stuff was coming up for the whole month, even longer, but with much more intensity this month.

Looks like someone collected a lot of their favorite pieces of art to represent each of these. This is a very nice collection that would sell well but there are too many people involved probably, so they kept it free but accept donations. All this red tape and these annoying issues keep nice things from happening in a lot of cases, the system's design and the way people are pressured to think and act makes for the sh*tty, artless world where ugliness seems to reign, and it all is because of the accursed design, which needs to be replaced, as much as possible, especially personally at the very least.

I think choice is an illusion. Culture and systems come before an individual.

I don't believe in choice or "free will" or any of those related ideas. I think that we can only do what we do and what we do is one way or another never anything we can really know or control, even though it appears we are the ones doing the thing and had other options available, that we took the option we did could never be different, either because of all the exact factors in place forcing that specific action that moment which would always be the same woth all the same factors in play, basically like anything else in nature or basic physics, like where a specifically weighted item will land or what will happen based on specific factors, and this we also call God's Will, which is identical to both Nature as well as what people call Chance and Luck and even Reality as it plays out and we helplessly play along with everything. That such occurs and has occurred is thought by some, like me, to be determined by what is only loosely called or compared to an intelligence, but is ultimately at the very least encompassing all intelligence(s) like ours and responsible for causing all that we think and which occurs in our existence. It can be said the other way too, that whatever is at the last and first or utmost or primary point of responsibility for this determinism is what we are considering the only thing that can be considered the Greatest and Ultimate, and since there is "something" surely responsible for the way things play out, which doesn't seem to be us, that, whatever that actually is, is what we choose to call The God. Some think these things are stupid and blindly playing out, but I don't think they actually can.
Each of these threads is about a certain aspect and set of symbols and ideas related to the reality, even with concepts and terms related to fictional things. This particular thread is named after "Bane", all references to that word and name, but also to the symbol of the Black Hand, and total domination, determining power, authority, and control, and one that rules the rulers also and every hand, including those working against any such rulers and authorities, as this is the "unseen hand" which guides and moves and smashes and none can seem to really know what will happen next, yet they keep trying to ignore it and game things, while others believe that it is attached to a mind which can be communicated with, so we pray for benefit and protection from its unpredictable motions.
