[ENG] The church of Bossost , dedicated to the invocation of the Mother of God of Purification, is one of the best preserved in the entire Val d'Aran region, and a clear example of the prototype of a Romanesque church of the valley (very horizontal buildings, with three naves and three semicircular apses and a very marked gable in the presbytery). It was built in the first half of the 13th century, and includes many foreign decorative elements: strips of blind semicircular arches in the bell tower and apses, or the small vertical lesenes (pilaster strip) on the outside of the apse, both typical of Lombard Romanesque, checkered jaques on the front and eaves… Outside the temple, the highlights are the bell tower, the head and its two façades.

Prayer Flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers, and mantras. Tibetan Buddhists for centuries have planted these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry the beneficent vibrations across the countryside. Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the vicinity.

Invocation is a form of prayer invoking God's presence, especially one said at the beginning of a religious service or public ceremony.

This is the first photo from the new project I decided to call "The Idyll".
In recent months I've been looking for the best way to use Kodak Ektar. I think that after few trials I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of its potential.
Certainly it wouldn't be possible without inspiration. It all begun with the music of polish composer, Wojciech Kilar, who wrote music for such movies like The Pianist, The Ninth Gate and Dracula.
I hope that these photos will help me to explore a place of which existence I had a feeling for a long time.
Let me introduce it with "Invocation" by Wojciech Kilar from the Pan Tadeusz movie.

invocation of the gods of war.
sadly, the current shape of the news.

The collegiate church of the parish church district under the invocation of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour and St Mary Magdalene is one of the most exquisite examples of Baroque architecture in Poland. It was built by the Jesuits. The work started in 1649 and was interrupted several times until it was finished over 50 years later.
The work was begun by Thomas Poncino and after several years' break it was continued in 1678 by the collegiate rector and a prominent theoretician of architecture, Bartłomiej Nataniel Wąsowski. It is to him that the church owes its present look. Using already existing walls, he elaborated a new design for the church and proceeded to execute it. The construction was halted by Wąsowski's death in 1887. It was resumed by Giovanni Catenazzi in 1697-1701.
Although the church was consecrated in 1705, it got its final form only between 1727-32. After the closure of the Jesuit Order in 1773, the church took over from the destroyed St Mary Magdalene collegiate becoming the city Parish Church in 1798.
Between 1945-56, during the reconstruction of the Cathedral, the church performed the function of the procathedral. In recent years it has been going through general renovation works. The facade is a work of Giovanni Catenazzi; the main portal was designed by Pompeo Ferrari. In the niche above the entrance there is a statue of St Francis Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Order.
The three - nave interior is of an awe - inspiring size. It is 55 metres long and 34 metres wide, and the height of the main nave is 27 metres. The interior is extremely rich. No other Polish church represents on such a grand scale the expressive power of the Roman Baroque, deservedly known as "triumphant".
On both sides of the main nave there are 16 massive columns made of imitation marble. Over their capitals there are 12 statues of the apostles. The chancel and the main nave are adorned with early 18th century polychromy by Karol Dankwart. The stuccos from the same period were made by Wojciech Bianco. The pseudo - dome over the crossing square is covered with paintings by Stanisław Wróblewski from 1949.
The high altar was designed by Pompeo Ferrari. It features a painting showing bishop Stanislaus bringing back to life Piotrowin, painted in 1756 by Szymon Czechowicz. It is flanked by two huge sculptures - on the right that of St Stanislaus Kostka, on the left that of St Stanislaus the Bishop. The two large altars closing the transverse nave were modelled on the St Anthony Gonzaga altar designed by Andrea Pozzo from the Roman church of St Ignatius.
In the lower, side naves with cross vaulting there are 10 smaller altars. On one of them there is a Gothic statue of Lashed Jesus dating from around 1430, which was transferred here from the former collegiate church of St Mary Magdalene. The organ was made in 1876 by the famous Friedrich Ladegast of Weissenfelds. The largest of the 2579 pipes are 6 metres long. The church often holds organ music concerts.
A plaque from 1996 is devoted to the memory of Father Jakub Wujek (1541-97) - founder and the first rector of the Jesuit College in Poznań, author of the first translation of the Bible into the Polish language. In the chapel situated at the end of the west nave there is a replica (from 1952) of an icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, crowned with Papal crowns in 1961. It was the first coronation of a Virgin Mary image in Poland after WWII. Between the two world wars the extensive cellars under the church were used for storing barrels with wine, among other things.
An explanation of how advancements in technology correlate to the unique spiritual knowledge laid before humanity by Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi.
Main points:
⁃Thanks to advancements in technology, we are now aware that through devices like the iPhone, images, audio files and video files can be transferred wirelessly over long distances. Therefore it is not difficult for us to understand that God’s image and voice can also be transferred from the heart of a spiritual guide to the heart of a disciple.
⁃Science is the evolution of discovery. The more you ponder, the more your discover. This spiritual knowledge is not new, it was just hidden. It always existed in the higher realms but when we say ‘this knowledge has been granted,’ what it means is that this knowledge is newly disclosed.
⁃When Lord Ra Riaz spoke of Invocation of the Heart, people asked how a fleshy heart could repeat God’s name. Lord Ra Riaz replied, ‘The tongue is also a piece of flesh; how does it say God’s name?’ Lord Ra Riaz explained that there is a soul with the help of which the tongue is able to speak. In a similar way, there is a soul that sits on the fleshy heart; when it is awakened, one of its spiritual functions is that it enables someone to communicate with God.
⁃Knowledge of spirituality became extinct. Spiritual knowledge used to be projected by saints, however, for the past 400 years, no true saint of God came on Earth. Lord Ra Riaz gave a complete introduction to spirituality. The way He explains spirituality is so easy to understand that both people who are schooled and people who are unschooled will understand it equally. Furthermore, when Lord Ra Riaz speaks, divine energy is mixed with His words. His words hit the heart. Like pouring water to a jug, the meaning of the words that He speaks is poured into your heart.
⁃God created the phenomenal world to tell us that the inner exists. Advancements in technology serve as examples so that people can easily accept the spiritual knowledge revealed by Lord Ra Riaz.

A second version of a fast sketch for an idea that deserved a more careful treatment. Still it does, anyway, but I may be getting closer. This remake has taken a while, trying to figure out how to disfigure and meld all the carnal elements of the mix. I like that now, specially if zooming into the details, but the overall composition and structure of the illustration is still wrong. And the guy is terrible. But lets finish the damn thing. It´s a wrap!

[ESP] La cabecera está compuesta por tres ábsides semicirculares, el central de mayores dimensiones. En la parte superior destaca la franja de arquillos ciegos, en los muros las pequeñas lesenas que rompen la horizontalidad, ambas de influencia del románico lombardo. En los tres ábsides hay una ventana pequeña en forma de aspillera con decoración en el extradós de los arcos consistente en franjas con formas geométricas. En el ábside norte, durante la última restauración se han sustituido los sillares originales por otros de aspecto muy moderno. En el hastial del presbiterio destacan una espadaña de un vano y cinco óculos, tres que iluminan la nave central y los otros cada una de las naves.

Narrated Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him): 'Once I was behind the Prophet (peace be upon him) and he said: 'O boy, I will teach you a few words:
Be loyal and obedient to Allah, remember Him always, obey His Orders. He will save you from every evil and will take care of you in all spheres of life.
Be loyal and obedient to Allah, you will find Him Near
If you ask, ask Allah
If you seek help, seek help from Allah
Know that if all the people get together in order to benefit you with something, they will not be able to benefit you in anything except what Allah had decreed for you. And if they all get together in order to harm you with something, they will no be able to harm you in anything except what Allah has decreed for you.
The pens have stopped writings. And the ink is over.''
-Tirmithi
Whatever Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was not from his own self. Everything was revealed to him by Allah. 'If you ask, ask Allah...' Anytime, Anywhere, Allah will be Listening. And Hearing our calls. Do I need anyone more?

La nave central se cubre con una bóveda de cañón apuntado, las laterales con bóvedas de cuarto de cañón y la cabecera se cubre -como marcan los cánones románicos- cañón para el tramo presbiteral y bóveda de horno para los ábsides. A los pies del templo se abre un coro que dispone de dos niveles distintos, de construcción posterior.

[ESP] La portada norte seguramente es la más antigua.

Sin duda, lo más destacado de esta portada es el tímpano -que es la joya de la corona del templo- en el que se representa un Pantocrátor rodeado por un tetramorfos y enmarcado por una cenefa con el característico ajedrezado de Jaca, y en el centro de la parte inferior un crismón que muestra también una influencia aragonesa. A ambos lados de la cabeza de Cristo hay una representación del sol y la luna, que hay que interpretarla como una sincretización románica asignando el valor de Cronocrátor (señor del tiempo y de los ciclos) a Cristo.

Variation on a theme - The "Magick Mother Invocation" by French/English band Gong. Gong's wild mythology, with it's apparently "flip", "hippie-ish" presentation and delightful humour, masked a deep spiritual vision of enormous breadth and depth.
These "Magick Mothers" join up with 2 other previous images, "Master Builder" and "A Sprinkling of Clouds" to complete the first movement, or side, if thinking in vinyl, of the infamous "You" album. These are my visual tributes to a band and their music that has never ceased to astonish and bewitch me. Visually also, there is a very big bow to abstract painer, Jules Olitski, an important influence on my own visual esthetic.
The original image was an evening shot of two tall office towers, so this is not art from a blank canvas. That shot of buildings has been processed innumerable times to get to this point.
Music Link: "Magic Mother Invocation", Gong, from their album "You". This is part of a larger piece that segues directly into "Master Builder". Here the video covers just the "Magick Mother" part. Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and band chant the names of Ishtar, Iao and Isis as they evoke the Mother Goddess of ancient times - all part of the Gong Trilogy story that covers 3 full albums.
