: ...LS awake and aware that she is... : Repeat Infinitely

[Versling]

I became quite attached to a symbol that came directly from a very odd (and quite insane) part of LS' mind which I will lovingly refer to here, just this once, as Tingly Hoecakes.


Here is that symbol I write of.


https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s320x320/e35/12798067_1777655679129089_1525942460_n.jpg


The project that catalyzed the emergence of that symbol became dust quite quickly but the symbol stuck with me even though it had some unbalanced energies due to where it had emerged.


So I hit the hive mind for guidance.


I drew the symbol, photographed it and used a reverse image search. The text of the resultant search was, "do not throw away symbol."


https://www.google.com/#q=do+not+throw+away+symbol


I had my answer. The symbol and its power needed recycling somehow. Now how to do it?


I scrolled down and three adjacent images caught my attention.

It was clear that LS was still squatting in this abandoned shell of a symbol. It was also clear who I should ask for help.


I got my mind right and then imagined an old abandoned building. Its single door was shut and upon it was the symbol in question.


As I approached the door it swung open invitingly. I crossed the threshold and followed candle light to a room with two chairs and a table. In one of the chairs was LS. Upon the table was an exact replica of my own altar. The other chair was occupied by my own personal sigil hovering in the air. For some reason I smelled urinal cakes.


She was expecting me. But I wasn't expecting her to be expecting me so it took me a moment to realize what was going on. As the realization crept into my awareness I reacted with a silent, "oh fuck!" which seemed to make her smile. She had evoked ME.


I said, "Hi," awkwardly.


She replied, "I know what I want to do with this place. Please sit down."


So I sat down. It would have been rude (and dangerous) not to.


Before we go on, a bit about my relationship with LS...


I've spent the last five years working on making the universe more self-aware. To banish the illusion of separateness that blinds most of humanity.


Humanity is aware of the universe but believes that humanity is somehow separate from the universe that it is aware of. The power of this illusion thickens the veil and adds to the disenchantment of the world.


Most of the five years has been spent creating the esoteric programming language that I would use to power my whole project. Self-awareness is my thing.


After I first heard of LS I drew the sigil to tap her veil-thinning powers and filtered that energy with my own intent. Her energies have been no small part of whatever successes I've had and I was in her debt.


Now here she was drawing MY sigil and filtering my power through her intentions.


In that astral chair I was asked (very directly) to redesign and re-empower the symbol in question to specifically enhance and grow LS' own self-awareness. I was told that doing so would wipe the debt clean.


I did what I was asked.


The micro-Crowley (the Thoth Deck) inspired some of the visual changes. I asked the deck for inspiration and it replied with Swiftness and Indolence which I took to mean, "Just add some fucking arrow-heads quick and be done with it."


This was good advice. The result looked like two LS bolts diving into and out of each other.


Whenever I draw LS I replace the slug (the little circle that the bolt seems to reflect off of) with my own filter. This particular sigil was supposed to be self-referential so I added the Versling sigil for, "I Am," at the very bottom to balance the intersecting bolts.


LS liked it but wasn't quite satisfied. She said it had too many straight lines and didn't look, "sensual," enough. I spent a bit more time and added curves where appropriate.


This is what I ended up with.


http://regeneracy.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/PentLS.jpg


When I was satisfied I presented the re-designed sigil to LS. She took the paper, turned it upside down and announced with some excitement, "It is exactly what I wanted!" I wasn't about to attempt to correct her. After considering the possibility for a few seconds I began to see her point.


Upside down, the shape of a woman emerged where the two bolts intersected. She appeared to be wielding the four arrow-headed bolts. The, "I Am", sigil rested where the head would have been.


http://regeneracy.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/PentLSRightSideUp.jpg


She began to call it Ememex or MMX which somehow felt appropriate though I have no idea why.


With her being satisfied, I was finally granted permission to perform the self-awareness ritual which will take place at the intersection of Gravity and Fire on 6/21/2016 between 1:52 PM and 2:15 PM CST.


Please feel free to add your energies if you feel it appropriate.


All intellectual property rights to this sigil are granted solely to LS.

This is just so amazing  8)  I have nothing constructive to add  :-[ but really want to respond   :)

Respect and a lot of thanks for doing such awesome work! "do not throw away symbol." -- just mind blown.

My only question would be that to evoke you (and to do all the things that she does usually), I would have thought that Ellis is already quite self-aware ?

Thanks! I believe what she wanted from me wasn't self-awareness but self-awareness-awareness.



An awareness of self-awareness. To go from LS Sapiens to LS Sapiens Sapiens, so to speak.


Thanks for the kind words!

What you've designed as an active or animated version of the LS is very similar to the "Ava Maria" symbol or logo. Which is a large M with an inscribed A in the middle and with the A legs extending you would have the x crossing of your symbols M legs and with the A pushed upwards the resultant would be a very similar or even the same symbol or Sigil that you created. (See attached picture).  The Ave Maria translates to "Hail Mary." Which seem appropriate to the Hail Ellis with Mary being a general container for Goddess forms throughout the Catholic Churches history and suitable in the dark Gothic Latin semi-satiric theme of DKMU and the very playful  and frolicking nature of the Ellis. The "Ava Maria" Prayer or incantation continues with a Dominum or Lord/Lorddess[PJ1] - again very synchronicity of thought with DKMU creation theme. The Origin of Ava: Latin, related to birds, or variation of Eve or beginning and creation of Life so I may be stretching the correspondences between your Sigil and the "Ava Marie" Sigil as she is evoked in repeatedly chanted prayer as an incantation so the resemblance fits perfectly with the Ellis. We just need a Hail Mary type Incantation Prayer or Mantra and a Rosary bead type counting devise to complete this correspondence of Invoking a Goddess via a Santeria: "Praise of the Saints" - goddess evocation  or spell casting format.

Eve, hm?


I've gotten a lot of references to Eve in relation to Ellis, specifically to Aelie, since the big working in July. I haven't been bringing it up unless it comes up, because i don't trust my "visionary" experiences in general... especially since, tbh, most of them were drug induced. I wouldn't mention it at all except that it's been a major and persistent theme. Evolution, life, growth, divine female, disregard for tradition, rebellion, creation, novelty. Eevee, the pokemon, is (originally) the only one able to choose the path of its development.

[Svipallr]

Oh my, so awesome. long time lurker here, chiming in because this piques my interest!
i love the small various niche/ sub currents of the LS that people find, she is very willing to adapt to your needs and present a new current/ archetype that fills the void/ fit's the bill. (just my personal experience)


thanks so much! keep up the good work, it inspires me to see things like this!

[Rasafar]

I'd also encourage you to look at the Futhark for meaning in the original as well. In the center we have "Mannaz" (Man), flanked by "Gyfu" (Gift/Generosity) on either side. The angled "pentagram" version maintains this configuration.

The Auspice Maria and Masonic symbolism is similar, but I'm questioning the connection a bit more than what appears to me to be a blatant runic reference.

I'd be curious to hear your thoughts regarding the runic symbolism and if you could lend any personal interpretation based on your experience(s).

[Versling]

The AM link is an interesting one.


Well would you look at that...

And the runes mentioned were in fact part of the original intent which was eventually poisoned by Tingly Hoe Cakes (mentioned above) who just happened to use the LS sigil quite a bit. In fact, Tingly Hoe Cakes was the one that introduced me to LS.

[nightfighter_zero]

Data dump for those of long attention span.
tl:dr is for posers.

I came across some info after coming across DKMU itself.
During my searches just going with the "flow" I found some interesting linkages.

Came across Elis, Greece while doing simple searches for the "Ellis" sigil:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elis
http://odysseus.culture.gr/h/3/eh351.jsp?obj_id=2400
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympia,_Greece
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elis_(regional_unit)

Started getting vibes....

Then hit this page:
http://www.thespiritscience.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1554

"Looking at the Linking sigil, you
can see where the right side of it forms an E. The L, I, and S, should
all be quite obvious in it"

So yeah. Elis not Ellis?

Whats the deal with ancient Elis? Pretty badass history.

"In classical antiquity, Elis was an independent state, centred on the town Elis and included the sanctuary at Olympia, where the Ancient Olympic Games were held between 776 BC and 394 AD."
"The first Olympic festival was organized in Elean land, Olympia, Greece by the authorities of Elis in the 8th century BC, with tradition dating the first games at 776 BC."

"The local form of the name was Valis, or Valeia, and its meaning, in all probability, "the lowland" (compare with the word "valley")."
Valis? now we got some Phillip Dick going on lol.

"Nowadays Elis is a small village of 150 citizens, located 14 km NE of Amaliada, built over the ruins of the ancient town. It has a museum that contains treasures, discovered in various excavations. It also has one of the most well-preserved ancient theaters in Greece."

http://mapper.acme.com/?ll=37.89359,21.37559&z=17&t=H&marker0=37.70451%2C21.57068%2Celis%5C%2C%20greece


Now dig this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Olympic_Games

"The Olympic games were held to be one of the two central rituals in Ancient Greece, the other being the much older religious festival, the Eleusinian Mysteries. The games started in Olympia, Greece, in a sanctuary site for the Greek deities near the towns of Elis and Pisa (both in Elis on the peninsula of Peloponnesos). The first games began as an annual foot race of young women in competition for the position of the priestess for the goddess, Hera, and a second race was instituted for a consort for the priestess who would participate in the religious traditions at the temple.

The first ever "gold medal" winner was from Elis:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coroebus_of_Elis

"Coroebus of Elis, commonly spelled Koroibos (Greek: Κόροιβος Ἠλεῖος) was a humble Greek cook,^[1] baker^[2] and athlete from Elis, who won the stadion race in the first recorded Ancient Olympic Games in 776 BC."
"The stadion race of the Greeks seem to have been accurately recorded. The prize he received was an olive branch, though the honor of winning was far more prestigious than the actual prize."


Elis was a "neutral" meeting place. It had no government buildings, only temples to many gods. It was sacred ground:

"The traveler Pausanias (2nd century P.C.), refered to the capital of Ilia, by describing gymnasiums, lodges, temples and sanctums, but no public buildings.They were decorated by a number of statues and sculptures made by famous artists of ancient times. Among others there were situated the temple of Ourania Aphrodite and its golden ivory statue made by Fidias, as well as the ground shrine of Pandimou Aphrodite, where there is its well-known bronze statue, made by Scopas, the temple and the statue of Apollo Acesious, the temple of the Graces, with their edge-stones statues, the temple of Silinous and the complexion of the god with Methi."
"The peaceful existence which Elis led thereafter, its neutrality in the quarrels of the other Greek states, the "truce" and the designation of the country as sacred ground, were the cause of her prosperity and good laws"

"Strabo, Geography 8. 3. 12 (trans. Jones) (Greek geographer C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) :
"The whole country [of Elis] is full of temples of Artemis, Aphrodite, and the Nymphai, being situated in sacred precincts that are generally full of flowers because of the abundance of water."


Also, the Alfeios river flows from Arcadia to Elis:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfeios

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Et_in_Arcadia_ego
"The most important difference between the two versions is that in the latter version, one of the two shepherds recognizes the shadow of his companion on the tomb and circumscribes the silhouette with his finger. According to an ancient tradition (see Pliny the Elder, nat. Hist. XXXV 5, 15), this is the moment in which the art of painting is first discovered. Thus, the shepherd's shadow is the first image in art history. But the shadow on the tomb is also a symbol of death (in the first version symbolized by a skull on the top of the tomb). The meaning of this highly intricate composition seems to be that, from prehistory onward, the discovery of art has been the creative response of humankind to the shocking fact of mortality. Thus, death's claim to rule even Arcadia is challenged by art (symbolized by the beautifully dressed maiden), who must insist that she was discovered in Arcadia too, and that she is the legitimate ruler everywhere, whilst death only usurps its power. In the face of death, art's duty—indeed, her raison d'être—is to recall absent loved ones, console anxieties, evoke and reconcile conflicting emotions, surmount isolation, and facilitate the expression of the unutterable."

Hell yeah.

Elis is the river's final destination.


So yeah....just some thoughts for everybody. This whole business is packed with meaning.


Somebody needs to pay a visit to the ancient Elis amphitheatre:

And yanno...connect it up...with Art.

Pics plz. K thks.

Upside down, the shape of a woman emerged where the two bolts intersected. She appeared to be wielding the four arrow-headed bolts.

From my web travels on the Elis topic:

http://www.theoi.com/Olympios/ArtemisGoddess.html
http://www.theoi.com/Cult/ArtemisCult2.html
"ARTEMIS was the Olympian goddess of hunting and wild animals, and the protectress of women and girls."

"CULT IN ELIS (SOUTHERN GREECE) Strabo, Geography 8. 3. 12 (trans. Jones) (Greek geographer C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) :
"The whole country [of Elis] is full of temples of Artemis, Aphrodite, and the Nymphai, being situated in sacred precincts that are generally full of flowers because of the abundance of water.


Her properties?

"Aeschylus, Fragment 188 (from Orion, Etymologicum 26. 5) (trans. Weir Smyth) (Greek tragedy C5th B.C.) :
"Mistress maiden (despoina nymphê) [i.e. Artemis], ruler of the stormy mountains."

"Seneca, Hercules Furens 406 ff (trans. Miller) (Roman tragedy C1st A.D.) :
"O [Artemis] queen of the groves (regina nemorum), thou who in solitude lovest thy mountain-haunts, and who upon the solitary mountains art alone held holy."

"Homeric Hymn 27 to Artemis (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C7th to 4th B.C.) :
"Over the shadowy hills and windy peaks she [Artemis] draws her golden bow, rejoicing in the chase, and sends out grievous shafts. The tops of the high mountains tremble and the tangled wood echoes awesomely with the outcry of beasts: earth quakes and the sea also where fishes shoal. But the goddess with a bold heart turns every way destroying the race of wild beasts: and when she is satisfied and has cheered her heart, then the huntress (theroskopos) who delights in arrows (iokheaira) slackens her supple bow."

The huntress who delights in ARROWS.



Among other things:
"Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 1. 225 ff (trans. Rieu) (Greek epic C3rd B.C.) :
"The Nymphai (nymphs or maiden-girls) were about to hold their dances - it was the custom of all those who haunt the beautiful headland to sing the praise of Artemis by night."

"Suidas s.v. Lysizonos gune :
"Virgins about to have sex dedicated their virginal lingerie to Artemis."

Heh.

AC/DC did say it best. "For those about to rock, we salute you!"

Ringtail:

Evolution, life, growth, divine female, disregard for tradition, rebellion, creation, novelty.

"Thus, death's claim to rule even Arcadia is challenged by art (symbolized by the beautifully dressed maiden), who must insist that she was discovered in Arcadia too, and that she is the legitimate ruler everywhere, whilst death only usurps its power. In the face of death, art's duty—indeed, her raison d'être—is to recall absent loved ones, console anxieties, evoke and reconcile conflicting emotions, surmount isolation, and facilitate the expression of the unutterable."

Note...

"symbolized by the beautifully dressed maiden" - Beauty (Life in it's highest form)

"facilitate the expression of the unutterable" - Variety (Creation, Novelty. Tradition does not enter into it. Say what the others refuse to speak. Nothing more rebellious!)

"evoke *and* reconcile conflicting emotions" - Conflict (Evolution right here. Conflicting feelings being resolved and put to rest. Divide and Conquer not working anymore. Growth")




See my big post for how Arcadia is connected to the region of Elis physically IRL.

[nightfighter_zero]

Lolan Ah Sine...totally on to something...

Hail Ellis (Elis)...protector of her *specific* web.
"The peaceful existence which Elis led thereafter, its neutrality in the quarrels of the other Greek states, the "truce" and the designation of the country as sacred ground, were the cause of her prosperity and good laws"
"The whole country [of Elis] is full of temples of Artemis"

So of course....

"She took the paper, turned it upside down and announced with some excitement, "It is exactly what I wanted!" I wasn't about to attempt to correct her."
"She appeared to be wielding the four arrow-headed bolts. The, "I Am", sigil rested where the head would have been."

"Mistress maiden, ruler of the stormy mountains"
""O [Artemis] queen of the groves (regina nemorum), thou who in solitude lovest thy mountain-haunts, and who upon the solitary mountains art alone held holy."
(Goddess of) "The shadowy hills and windy peaks"

A goddess of liminal places.....

"But the goddess with a bold heart turns every way destroying the race of wild beasts: and when she is satisfied and has cheered her heart, then the huntress (theroskopos) who delights in arrows (iokheaira) slackens her supple bow.

A huntress who delights in ARROWS...
Arrows facing every way (the 4 cardinal/all directions?) destroying any wild beasts threatening the peace and neutrality of her sacred ground/web.

"In the face of death, (Art/Elis/Ellis's) duty indeed, her raison d'être—is to recall absent loved ones, console anxieties, evoke and reconcile conflicting emotions, surmount isolation, and facilitate the expression of the unutterable"

ARTemis (?!)

Good and evil all meet/met in the domain/district of Ellis/Elis for "the games" (of capital "A" Art?).
She (the huntress) is/was there to facilitate the proceedings....of "evoking and reconciling conflicting emotions", the "expressing of the unutterable", "surmounting isolation".

If you act out like a wild beast, trying to run rampant in her "place", you will become the focus of her hunt.
This "place" is for everyone who wants to "come in peace" and participate in the "games".


Sounds like the movie here is playing out just fine. It's hitting all the right notes LOL.
The transmission is being received?

[yungbaja]

Pardon my ignorance, could the new sigil be used in place of the old linking sigil, or does it have a different purpose?
