Erice is a charming typically medieval village located on top of the homonymous mountain.

 

From its 751 meters of altitude it dominates the city of Trapani and the salt pans located along the coast.

 

In the past the mountain was called San Giuliano, on top of which stood a famous sanctuary dedicated to the Goddess of fertility and protector of sailors.

 

For the Phoenicians the Divinity was called Astarte, for the Greeks Aphrodite and finally Venus Ericina for the Romans.

 

Erice is an open-air museum and is suitable for slow tourism. It should be savored calmly, walking through the narrow cobbled alleys, alternating visits with moments of rest and relaxation.

-------------------------

Erice è un grazioso borgo tipicamente medioevale situato in cima all’omonimo monte.

 

Dai suoi 751 metri di altitudine domina la città di Trapani e le saline situate lungo la costa.

 

In passato il monte si chiamava San Giuliano, in cima al quale sorgeva un celebre santuario dedicato alla Dea della fecondità e protettrice dei naviganti.

 

Per i Fenici la Divinità si chiamava Astarte, per i Greci Afrodite ed infine Venere Ericina per i Romani.

 

Erice è un museo a cielo aperto ed è adatta per un turismo lento. Va assaporata con calma, camminando per gli stretti vicoli in acciottolato, intervallando le visite con dei momenti di pausa e relax.

   

Castle of Venus

 

It is located on the top of Mount Erice, in an absolutely privileged position.

 

In ancient times, Erice was known for its temple, the sacred thémenos, where the Phoenicians adored Astarte, the Greeks Aphrodite and the Romans Venus.

 

Mount Eryx served as a reference point for navigators of whom Venus soon became the protector.

 

At night, a large fire lit in the sacred area served as a lighthouse. The fame of Venus Ericina became such that a temple was also dedicated to her in Rome and her cult spread throughout the Mediterranean.

 

What remains today of the ancient fortress was the work of the Normans who seem to have reused, for its construction, the material coming from the reconstruction of the pagan temple.

 

In ancient times, the castle was enclosed by towers, advanced fortification works connected to each other by two crenellated curtains and above all by a drawbridge.

Castello di Venere

 

E' situato sulla sommità del monte Erice, in posizione assolutamente privilegiata.

 

Nell’antichità, Erice era nota per il suo tempio, il sacro thémenos, ove i Fenici adoravano Astarte, i Greci Afrodite ed i Romani Venere.

 

Il monte Eryx serviva da punto di riferimento per i navigatori dei quali Venere divenne ben presto la protettrice.

 

La notte, un grande fuoco acceso nell’area sacra fungeva da faro. La fama di Venere Ericina divenne tale che le venne dedicato un tempio anche a Roma ed il suo culto si diffuse in tutto il Mediterraneo.

 

Quello che resta oggi dell’antica fortezza fu opera dei Normanni che sembra avessero reimpiegato, per la sua costruzione, il materiale proveniente dal rifacimento del tempio pagano.

 

Anticamente il castello era recinto dalle torri, opere di fortificazione avanzata collegate fra loro da due cortine merlate e soprattutto da un ponte levatoio.

Frogmore, The Ritual

 

I dwelt alone

In a world of moan,

And my soul was a stagnant tide,

Till the fair and gentle Eulalie became my blushing bride-

Till the yellow-haired young Eulalie became my smiling bride.

 

Ah, less- less bright

The stars of the night

Than the eyes of the radiant girl!

That the vapor can make

 

With the moon-tints of purple and pearl,

Can vie with the modest Eulalie's most unregarded curl-

Can compare with the bright-eyed Eulalie's most humble and careless

curl.

 

Now Doubt- now Pain

Come never again,

For her soul gives me sigh for sigh,

And all day long

Shines, bright and strong,

 

Astarte within the sky,

While ever to her dear Eulalie upturns her matron eye-

While ever to her young Eulalie upturns her violet eye.

Yet your blood is shed for life, not death

Virgin, complete unto yourself - not celibate

Ya de noche en Hesperia ,me cité con Astarté, me dijo ,soy la misma Tanit y Afrodita , pero aquí reino sobre los Tartessos... Le dije, aquí adoran a la Virgen del Rocío y cerca está su Ermita…

Se rió y dijo , allí me han rendido culto hace 2600 años !!!.. Ella soy yo, fijate en las volutas del vestido. Mi símbolo es la Paloma Blanca. Dos cuernos de plata a sus pies es la luna en 4to menguante. Y los Rocieros saltan la Reja al Alba ,cuando más brilla Venus...Perplejo quedé !!!..

Le tomé una foto , pero luego en la imagen solo apareció la Caseta y el Mar ...!!!...F.O.G.

Already at night in Hesperia, I met Astarte, he told me, I am the same Tanit and Aphrodite, but here I reign over the Tartessos ... I told him, here they worship the Virgen del Rocío and nearby is her Hermitage ...

He laughed and said, I have been worshiped there 2600 years ago! .. She is me, look at the scrolls of the dress. My symbol is the White Dove. Two silver horns at his feet is the moon in 4th waning. And the Rociers jump the Gate to the Dawn, when Venus shines brighter ... Perplexed!

I took a picture, but then in the image only the House and the Sea appeared ... !!! ... F.O.G.

These three plaques (two can be seen properly here) are made of pure gold and nailed to a wall for anyone to read, in around 500 B.C. They are from the Etruscan town of Pyrgi and are written in two languages: Etruscan and the Punic dialect of Phoenician (the one to the left here is in Etruscan and the one next to it is in Phoenician - if you look closely you can see that the letters are different). The texts are about how the ruler of Caere, Thefarie Velianas, dedicated a temple to the Etruscan goddess Uni, the goddess of love and marriage (here identified with the Phoenician goddess Astarte). They were excavated in 1964 and are now on display at Villa Giulia, Rome.

 

Actually, the texts in the two different languages aren't completely word for word translations from one to the other. My husband has written an article about the significance of the differences in an article which can be found here: www.academia.edu/14327680/The_Religio-Social_Message_of_t... (if you want to read it but are not a member of the site, you can log in with Facebook)

 

(The thing in the lower left corner is the nails with which the tablets were nailed to the wall.)

I decided to give my Antinatural Post Human wings a bit of an outing to team it up with Von Noir's fabulous Suicide Doll tattoo.

The views from Erice (about 750m altitude; Erice is close to the port of Trapani) along the northern Sicilian coast towards Monte Cofano (about 660 m; in the middle of the image). It seems that everybody who ever came here was attracted to the beauty of this island. In historical times, the Phoenicians or Carthaginians (who fortified Erice and venerated Astarte), then the Greeks (Aphrodite), then the Romans (Venus), then the Byzantines (Mary), then the Muslims, then the Normans (Mary again), The Spanish, the French etc. until Garibaldi made this "Italian" in 1860. The photo was taken at the Castello di Venere (Venus Castle) built by the Normans. A divine lady has always protected this land.

Standing atop a mountain (around 750 metres above sea level) overlooking nearby Trapani and the beaches of San Vito Lo Capo, delightful Erice is almost something of a western Sicilian Taormina. There are some ancient Elymian and Phoenician walls surrounding the northeastern side of the city, and two castles, Pepoli Castle, with foundations dating from Arab times, and nearby Venus Castle, dating from the Norman period but built on ruins of the ancient Temple of Venus (or Astarte).

Smerinthus astarte, Montana. I had set up a light trap the night before, and at 5 a.m. found lots of visitors were still around, including this lovely moth roosting in a nearby shrub.

For National Moth Week, here's a lovely sphinx moth in Montana, photographed at around 5:30 a.m. with the dawn sky behind it. It's Smerinthus sp., I think S. astarte but maybe S. ophthalmica or S. cerisyi. Some sphinx moths drink nectar, but these have reduced mouthparts and adults do not feed. I think it was worth waking up early.

Blessed are the heretics, for they shall be eaten last.

Blessed are the followers, for they shall be eaten first.

Blessed are the living, for they shall be consumed.

Wilhelmshaven, June 2023

Happy Easter!

 

Eggs, in general, were a traditional symbol of fertility and rebirth in different faiths and religions.

 

In the case of Mesopotamia, the Easter egg comes from the fertility Goddess Ishtar, (Astarte, Ashera, Astaroth, Inanna), worshiped by the Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Canaanites...

 

Ishtar is the origin of the name given in English to the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus on the third day, a celebration that is called Easter and in German, Ostern.

 

Between the 9th and 18th centuries, the Church prohibited the consumption of eggs during Lent, considering it equivalent to meat, and for this reason people cooked and painted them to differentiate them from frescoes and to be able to consume them on Easter Day.

 

Over time, these traditions were incorporated into the Easter festivity and today the Easter egg is a universal symbol.

 

For many, the egg resembles the resurrection as a symbol of new life.

 

Commerce and modernity, for their part, have been in charge of incorporating chocolate eggs, and plastic eggs to be filled with sweets, and which according to legend are hidden by the Easter rabbit for children to look for. and therefore, find them and eat them. (Source: Wikipedia)

 

HUEVOS DE PASCUA, 2023

 

¡Feliz Pascua de Resurrección!

 

Los huevos, en general, eran un símbolo tradicional de fertilidad y renacimiento en diferentes credos y religiones.

 

En el caso de Mesopotamia el huevo de Pascua viene de la Diosa de la fertilidad Ishtar, (Astarté, Asera, Astaroth, Inanna), adorada por los babilonios, asirios, fenicios, cananeos...

 

Ishtar es el origen del nombre que se da en idioma inglés a la celebración de la Resurrección de Jesús al tercer día, celebración a la que llaman Easter y en alemán, Ostern.

 

Entre los siglos IX y XVIII, la Iglesia prohibió el consumo de huevos durante la Cuaresma, considerándolos equivalentes a la carne, por lo que se cocinaban y pintaban para diferenciarlos de los frescos y poder consumirlos el día de Pascua.

 

Con el tiempo, estas tradiciones se incorporaron a la festividad de la Semana Santa y hoy en día el huevo de Pascua es un símbolo universal.

 

Para muchos, el huevo se asemeja a la resurrección como símbolo de una nueva vida.

 

El comercio y la modernidad, por su parte, se han encargado de incorporar los huevos de chocolate, y los huevos de plástico para rellenar con dulces, y que según la leyenda son escondidos por el conejo de Pascua para que los niños los busquen y por lo tanto, encontrarlos y comerlos.

One of my favourite sightings of the trip. I have only photographed this species once before and in fact that was only a provisional ID and not confirmed, and though that was a dorsal view it which is often the harder to get the photo wasn't that good as the butterfly was not close.

This is a great ventral view as the fore wing colours show.

Callicores are amongst my favourite genera.

Happy Easter!

 

Eggs, in general, were a traditional symbol of fertility and rebirth in different faiths and religions.

 

In the case of Mesopotamia, the Easter egg comes from the fertility Goddess Ishtar, (Astarte, Ashera, Astaroth, Inanna), worshiped by the Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Canaanites...

 

Ishtar is the origin of the name given in English to the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus on the third day, a celebration that is called Easter and in German, Ostern.

 

Between the 9th and 18th centuries, the Church prohibited the consumption of eggs during Lent, considering it equivalent to meat, and for this reason people cooked and painted them to differentiate them from frescoes and to be able to consume them on Easter Day.

 

Over time, these traditions were incorporated into the Easter festivity and today the Easter egg is a universal symbol.

 

For many, the egg resembles the resurrection as a symbol of new life.

 

Commerce and modernity, for their part, have been in charge of incorporating chocolate eggs, and plastic eggs to be filled with sweets, and which according to legend are hidden by the Easter rabbit for children to look for. and therefore, find them and eat them. (Source: Wikipedia)

 

HUEVOS DE PASCUA, 2023

 

¡Feliz Pascua de Resurrección!

 

Los huevos, en general, eran un símbolo tradicional de fertilidad y renacimiento en diferentes credos y religiones.

 

En el caso de Mesopotamia el huevo de Pascua viene de la Diosa de la fertilidad Ishtar, (Astarté, Asera, Astaroth, Inanna), adorada por los babilonios, asirios, fenicios, cananeos...

 

Ishtar es el origen del nombre que se da en idioma inglés a la celebración de la Resurrección de Jesús al tercer día, celebración a la que llaman Easter y en alemán, Ostern.

 

Entre los siglos IX y XVIII, la Iglesia prohibió el consumo de huevos durante la Cuaresma, considerándolos equivalentes a la carne, por lo que se cocinaban y pintaban para diferenciarlos de los frescos y poder consumirlos el día de Pascua.

 

Con el tiempo, estas tradiciones se incorporaron a la festividad de la Semana Santa y hoy en día el huevo de Pascua es un símbolo universal.

 

Para muchos, el huevo se asemeja a la resurrección como símbolo de una nueva vida.

 

El comercio y la modernidad, por su parte, se han encargado de incorporar los huevos de chocolate, y los huevos de plástico para rellenar con dulces, y que según la leyenda son escondidos por el conejo de Pascua para que los niños los busquen y por lo tanto, encontrarlos y comerlos.
