Egyptian Cult Image of Ptah, Third Intermediate Period, Early Dynasty 26, c. 945–600 BC
Found in a shrine at a temple, this statuette was created to house the spirit of the god Ptah, lord of the sky, responsible for the fashioning and maintenance of the physical universe. It’s made of lapis lazuli that was imported from Afghanistan, a very rare commodity in ancient Egypt. This statue stands at only 2" high.
little darling when you thought no one saw i caught sight of your fall
a quick descent inside a falling star your wings perishing against gravity a murderous crash landing a sky child left abandoned but a spring blossomed bruises spilling into blossoms in the place you washed ashore on earth
i watched you trace your back and ravish everything in search of your wings you tried to blink and pinch wake yourself from this dream but right there you would stay while a deluge began to stir calling your name in the roar of thunder coming right for you a terrifying war but instead of run away i watched you hurl yourself toward the storm velocity, fury, ruby roses with thorns of swords you didn’t need wings anymore
Peonies from my front garden (that came from my grandmother’s house), an offering to Isis Who is Great of Healing. Blessed is the Lady from Whom all blessings come, She in Whose worship my heart rejoices. May this offering of flowers and incense be pleasing unto Thee, for I make it to You with love. Praise be.
A fairy ring is a naturally occurring ring of mushrooms. They are also known as pixie’s rings, faerie circles, or elf circles.
