“Forms by Nature” by Chromosphere is a mesmerizing audio-visual collaboration depicting our Earth, its plant and animal life, and beyond. 

The animated video reminds us that, “Through scientific study and understanding, we deepen our connection to the natural world.” Its designs echo Charley Harper’s colorful and graphic nature illustrations.

mothmaam:

Sorta, loosely based off the concept of the “Injury Transference” ability from AHS: Coven. It’s a curse to send back pain that a person has caused you, a get even sort of deal. I would recommend this for an abuser who refuses to admit they’ve wronged you and/or still continue to hurt you.

What You’ll Need

  • A poppet of the target
  • Bindweed
  • Bloodroot powder
  • Chicory
  • New moon water
  • Paper
  • Pen
  • Black candle
  • Red sewing thread
  • Sewing needle

What To Do

  • Light your black candle and start to write down on the paper everything they’ve done to hurt you.
  • Take your candle and (carefully) drip the black wax on the edges of the paper.
  • Fold your paper into a small square as much as you can.
  • Open your poppet and stuff the bloodroot powder, chicory, and the paper with the wrongs written on it inside it, then after you put enough in sew it back together with the red thread.
  • Take your bindweed and start wrapping it around the poppet while saying/thinking “Every wrong you’ve done me comes back to you. Feel what I’ve felt, feel the pain you’ve caused me.” as many times as you wish.
  • Take your poppet wrapped in bindweed and “drown it” in the moon water while saying/thinking “While you feel my pain you will drown in your guilt.”
  • Once the ritual is complete blow out your candle and put that poppet in a place where it won’t see the light of day. 
  • To break the curse take it out of the dark place, unwrap the bindweed, take out the chicory, and soak it in sun water.

Lapilli, meaning ‘little stones’ in Latin, can have diverse origins, but the example shown on a photograph is more precisely called accretionary lapilli.

Accretionary lapilli form during a volcanic eruption in the ash cloud. When big volcanic eruption occurs, a volcano will blow a huge cloud into the atmosphere. Such cloud will contain massive boulders, smaller rocks, volcanic ash and gases etc. Rocks are heavy, so they fall back down fast, however, ash and gases do not. The most abundant and important in this process gas is a water vapour.

Mix fine ash and water vapour/steam together and what you get is an airborne mud. Water vapour sticks ash particles together, so as the huge turbulent ash cloud grows and mixes, more and more ash particles come together to form little balls (lapilli) which then rain down like hail once they get too heavy.

This layer formed after such rock rain in Hawai’i Island (Big Island).
