Red Queen Recitation

RA — KA — LA
RA — KA — LA

RAKALA is the name upon the tongue,
Of all who seek the Venusian Knowledge,
RAKALA reigns,
Red of flesh, capricious and serpentine,
She is the Lubricious One,
Defier of Stretched-Fingers,
RAKALA — the RED QUEEN,
Youngest of those born at the time of Creation,
It is she who ignites the fire of life,
It is she who bore humankind and gave unto it,
The esoteric wisdoms — the forbidden knowledge,
That which drives man to vice.
She is the tempest,
She is the temptress,
And she is that which cannot be confined by the mind,
For she is form and formless,
For she is magnanimous and consuming,
She is dichotomous,
In her singularity,
Defined only by her ineffability,
Yet manifest is she in Desire:
Infatuation,
Addiction,
Greed and Gluttony,
Fear and Anguish,
It is she of blazing banners
Who draws first blood,
For she is feral and refined,
Queen of Love and War,
She is the incitation of atrocity and charity,
She is the Lady of Innumerable Tongues,
Who breeds discord through miscommunication;

RAKALA —

Who is Lust, who is Power,
Who is the most Human of all Divine Appellations,
Come now in your radiant beauty,
Illustrious and confounding,
Red flesh bare,
Recite the Knowledge in unerring splendor,
Subdue yourself so that the Hanged might see the face of God in half its grandeur:
The Forgiving One,
Who is and knows at once temptation,
The one who Rights the Way.

“I’m fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.”

Holy fuck

@0rthanc You are not wrong, it’s also written in circles, which I somewhat appreciate. However, I loved the Neoplatonic elements, so I stuck around anyway.

“My grandmother wove in me a tapestry that was impossible to unwind,” Vigo said. “Since then, I’ve dedicated my life to the sea, just as those who have come before me.”

Like the 23 women before her, Vigo has never made a penny from her work. She is bound by a sacred ‘Sea Oath’ that maintains that byssus should never be bought or sold.

Instead, Vigo explained that the only way to receive byssus is as a gift. […]

“Byssus doesn’t belong to me, but to everyone,” Vigo asserted. “Selling it would be like trying to profit from the sun or the tides.”

More recently, a Japanese businessman approached Vigo with an offer to purchase her most famous piece, ‘The Lion of Women’, for €2.5 million. It took Vigo four years to stitch the glimmering 45x45cm design with her fingernails, and she dedicated it to women everywhere.

“I told him, ‘Absolutely not’,” she declared. “The women of the world are not for sale.”

The government is trying to evict her after shutting down her free museum to showcase her work because she refuses their demands she tell her secret.

The link to her crowdfunding page is https://buonacausa.org/cause/chiaravigo

She needs to raise €85,000 by November 2018 or the town will evict her. She’s only raised €6,472. The page says that there is no goal bc anything they raise is a success but the article says she needs the €85,000 in order to own her home and not be evicted. Chiara Vigo is an amazingly talented Jewish women who deserves to stay in her town close to the ocean !!
