Music: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJOtktgAtjE
Magic - A power stronger than your ego; an unconscious force (repressed or forgotten events in your life that is overpowering)
Magician - As the trickster it may symbolize you are fooling yourself over some aspect in your life. It could be the unconscious trying to fool {repress} the conscious mind. See Trickster
Magnet - Something that is bringing you closer to your true self.
Man - A symbol of your self; wholeness, the inner self (spiritual). It could symbolize half of the whole self, with the other half being your feminine side. In a woman's dream it may represent her animus or her father.
Mandalas - A representation of the self; that is complete, whole, balanced. a disarranged manadala may represent that the healing power of the unconscious pyche is temporily out of action. Some destructive attitude - a guilt-and-anger or inferiority complex - is blocking the flow of the natural healing powers.
Marriage - A union of opposite forces. The bringing together of the masculine and feminine sides of your personality. Resolving conflicts in your life.
Mask - Your persona, the image you see yourself as (this is not the real you, only a part of your true self). Covering up the real you; covering up your true emotions about some aspect in your life.

"Love, myths and other stories" is the exhibition celebrating the bimillennian of Ovidio (Rome, Scuderie del Quirinale) and dedicated to the life, work and legacy of Ovid.
Words and verses: this is what remains of Ovid. Even his face is known to us only through evocations in Mediaeval manuscripts and Renaissance books that provide us with imaginary likenesses: the poet appears on the frontispieces either standing or seated at his desk, represented according to the canons of a man of letters of the period, often wearing a laurel wreath.
More is known about Ovid's personality which can be construed from his vast literary output, and has come down to us in manuscripts, giving him the immortality that he himself prophesied at the end of Metamorphoses. The poet tackled all the main styles in literature, grappling with and mastering very different genres, modernizing both the content and the form.
The romantic elegy features in his poetry from the early years: in the “Amores” the poet writes of earthly love for young girls, matrons, slaves and freedwomen; in the “Heroides” he explores the feelings of the mythic heroines betrayed and abandoned by deceitful or simply inattentive lovers; he adopts yet another register for “Ars amatoria”, where passion and desire become the subject of an educational guide. He then went on to tackle civic and epic poetry, creating the poem that would make him famous for generations, the “Metamorphoses”. Ovid occupies a special place among the great poets of the Latin world for the size and variety of his literary production and his role in handing down the great tradition of classical mythology. Thanks to him the enthralling tales of the gods, heroes, youths and nymphs have been imprinted in our collective memory.
Through his poetry, the word that overcomes the oblivion of time, Ovid achieved the immortality he so desired.
Me vatem celebrate, viri, mihi dicite laudes,
cantetur toto nomen in orbe meum
[ars 2, 739~740]
Celebrate me the prophet, O ye men:
sing my praises, let my name be sung
in all the world
Me ev'ry youth shall praise, extol my name,
And o'er the globe diffuse my lasting fame.
Ovid was an acute observer of contemporary Rome. He wrote of made—up women, ardent lovers, assignations and the sybaritic pleasures of banquets and theatrical performance. He frequented the intellectual circles and the most exclusive salons in the city where his instructive playful approach was particularly appreciated, although it made him unpopular with the emperor, who was engaged in a campaign of moral reform. For a crime, the precise nature of which remains unknown, Augustus exiled the sophisticated interpreter of Greek and Roman myth to Tomis, present-day Costanta in Romania. His later years were marked by the pain of exile and the vain hope that his sentence would be reduced.

Part of super mario kART: an art show tribute to Super Mario Kart presented by Sam's Myth and the Warren.
I was smitten with her with her LM hair but this reroot from Moofala showed up today and Im thinking maybe it BELONGS on Myth?
As I fell and scrambled around the fierce rock fortified into Dunscaith Castle, here at the weathered stone that holds the mystery and history the myth, magic and legends of Scáthach, her daughters and Cú Chulainn of royal national and clan regional struggles and success this Clover both strongly and delicately flowered red and purple from the shoreline that has seen friendly visitors and fiendish ploys and plans. I was bleeding and smiling as I found this bright friend determinedly standing in harsh tidal reaches on salt and sand taking every opportunity to reach out and stretch forth for life answering the call of the Sun and the changing cycles of the Seasons. I was no warrior either here for training, for attacking, or for defending. Rather I have a few words and pictures to share in hope that we can learn from the fantastic history here that relates to our ways forward into further pictures and new stories and hopefully more than memories.
Earlier structures on the site of the castle are featured in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology as the stronghold and school of Scáthach the Shadow. This legendary Scottish warrior woman, sometimes referred to in recent times as a Druid and Priestess was renowned for her fighting skills and as a martial arts teacher. Scáthach trained the hero Cú Chulainn in the arts of combat giving him skills beyond all others including specialist moves and the secret of the Gáe Bulg, Gáe Bulga, Gáe Bolg, or Gáe Bolga. This is stated to be titled such meaning spear of mortal pain, or death, and also gapped, or notched spear, and further belly spear. The use of this weapon thrown from between the toes was a was believed to kill any opponent. Scáthach had the skill herself and could only pass on the technique to those of amazing skill and Cú Chulainn being the son and to some the incarnation of the God Lugh and Princess Deichtine.
The spear, or barb that Scáthach taught use of to Cú Chulainn is said to be a bone of a sea monster the Curruid. It is said that the Curruid died while fighting another sea monster the Coinchenn leading some to wonder if the spear could be made from parts of a Stingray, or be based on the Ray’s poisoned barbs. The Gáe Bulg spear is noted as being invariably fatal in use and maybe the spear was more than just a barbed weapon cast from between the toes and so launched off the feet from below to deliver a fatal injury from an unguarded angle. Scáthach prophesies about the fame and glory that await Cú Chulainn on his return to Ireland, but along with his charmed and enchanted life there will be many dangers in store from his demigod existence and his mortal life though famed is fated to be be short lived. From this moment on the bright life of Lugh that is evident in Cú Chulainn is seen as curse and charm that cannot be avoided and his triumph is set to be full of torment. The fort, or dun features as the place that the Irish Prince seeks out to improve his battle skills in the longest and most important tale in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology the epic Táin Bó Cúailnge, Cattle Raid of Cooley. The place name in Irish Dun Scathiag, is derived from Scáthach’s name.
The castle was the principal seat of the Clan MacDonald of Sleat, a branch of the Clan Donald, or MacDonald in the 15th century. Eventually after losing and regaining the castle the MacDonalds abandoned Dunscaith Castle in the early 17th century leaving the fortress to decline and fall into the ruins we now have today. The site is starkly beautiful with long stretched horizons around it that leave the ruin isolated bringing a sense of how vital this beacon once was in this landscape.
I cannot separate the physical place of Dun Scathiag from the site of legend spun stories that I have heard of Scáthach, her daughters and of Cú Chulainn the son and incarnation of Lugh. Somehow Dun Scathiag stands and Scáthach stays ready, yet Dunscaith Castle is also stood there and this one place is full of history and mystery all woven upon the proud rock that stands free of the cliffs and offers itself up as a place to defend and also a site to dwell on and so the tattered pages of legend lie upon the rocks and are cast off to the beach to be taken by tides, even as others are wonderfully wind embraced to carry on and on the red headed rubric into poem and in song, whilst others still are rooted in foundations and also created into walls and arches that show prosperity and hardship in the style of the stones still here and of the scope of the long gone wall tops and briefly built bold tall now much shortened fallen towers that held brilliant bright banners high into this balefully beautifully brooding stretched open sky.

A Spooky Tale
People have been making jack-o-lanterns at Halloween for centuries.
The practice originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed "Stingy Jack" who invited the Devil to have a drink with him.
On his exit, according to the story and staying true to his name, Stingy Jack didn't want to pay for their drinks, so he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin so that he (Jack) could use it to settle their bill.
Once the Devil did so, Jack decided to keep the money and put it into his pocket next to a silver cross, which prevented the Devil from changing back into his original form.
Jack eventually freed the Devil, under the condition that he would not bother Jack for one year and that, should Jack die, he would not claim his soul.
The next year, Jack again tricked the Devil into climbing into a tree to pick a piece of fruit. While he was up in the tree, Jack carved a sign of the cross into the tree's bark so that the Devil could not come down until the Devil promised Jack not to bother him for ten more years.
Soon after, Jack died. as the legend goes, God would not allow such an unsavory figure into heaven. The Devil, upset by the trick Jack had played on him and keeping his word not to claim his soul, would not allow Jack into hell. He sent Jack off into the dark night with only a burning coal to light his way.
Jack put the coal into a carved out pumpkin and has been roaming the Earth with it ever since.
The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as "Jack of the Lantern," and then, simply "Jack O'Lantern."
