Magic Circle 1886 Waterhouse

A witch would cast a magic circle by turning clockwise, beginning at East, following the revolution of the sun. The magic circle was drawn with either a a magic wand or an anthame (a black-handled ceremonial dagger). A charm or spell was recited as the witch cast the circle, asking the presence of friendly or helpful spirits to attend." Quoted from 'Witches: A Book of Magic and Wisdom'

Reportage 1 August. Weekday. Part 1

1. Первое что я вижу, когда встаю – целительные круги (medicine wheels) канадских индейцев. Бывший житель этого дома повесил этот амулет. До него жила в этом доме целительница. Дом полон шаманскими штучками канадских индейцев. А теперь здесь живу Я. Моя личность иногда как эти целительские круги.

Целительные круги помогают человеку понять мироздание и понять свою стратегию или судьбу.
1. The first thing I see when I’m getting up is the Canadian Indian medicine wheels. This amulet was hung by an ex-tenant of this house. Before him a healer-foreteller was living here. The house is full of shaman’s items of Canadian Indians. Now I am living here. Sometimes my personality is like these medicine wheels which help people understand the universe, one’s strategy or destiny. I can be useful for a management and a prognostication of

Stockings with garters and beloveds

Text of my female friend Narine.
 
       How dramatically the perception of beauty has changed for the last hundred of years! Women, whom the modern industry of beauty would immediately send to the dietician, once were considered as exemplary beauties. They were imitated, their poses were copied, they were admired. Their poses differ from the modern models’ poses. Women of the past are theatric; they represent not sexuality, but more likely deep excitement.

The modern model – is a desire, the model of past – is emotions. And their lingerie! The modern woman would hardly wear something like that. Still, we must confess that today we have one detail from those years: the stockings with garters. All ladies used to wear them. Today the stockings are used only for dates: they are so sexy that they have overcome their time.

The modern techniques strongly differ from the past techniques. It is also reflected in the character of photos. The majority of old photos are static or only simulating the movement while in the modern pictures the real movement often is filmed. Sometimes people of old cards are similar to actors of theatre. And at erotic cards we see mature women more often than very young girls.

Many images are so chaste that today it is difficult to call them erotic. Looking at them we are surprised to the tastes of the past. And sometimes we think of how much people have got naked these days. The bared leg with the fallen stocking would hardly cause the strong feelings in the modern man, though hundred years ago it was considered as an indecency top.

At the pictures of the past the lovers are dressed, lesbians are frankly playing to the camera, and all the juicy places are shamefully covered with clothes. It is difficult to judge yet how world is going to change in hundred years more; and what our descendants will think of us: whether they will consider us as profligates or otherwise – nothing understanding in real sex.
