A liitle known commercial sideline of the Great Beast was door furniture. This catalogue of hinges combined the arcane and the practical - a hugely popular line #crowley #booksky #diy

Dreamt every household in the land was issued one Vile Leg in case of emergencies. Citizens were advised to stockpile canned food to supplement their Vile Leg, which could feed a family of four for several months. Keep your Vile Leg somewhere cool and dry.

Outside today, I accidentally summoned the Corvids. A large crow pecked at the window—drawn by the nearby hazel-stick framework I'd rigged up for something else entirely. It tapped and cawed, insistent. Over and over again. A toad too, pressed against the rotten wood. #hookland #booksky

The Agate,found in the eagle's nest, is of two sorts - male and female. The virtue of this stone is to maketh a person sober, and increaseth riches. There is a certain snayle, rarely found, who makes the Shells of agate. Any person who finds and holds such Shell shall have great fortune #booksky.

IF this stone be placed on coals in the four corners of the house, or be pounded and sprinkled on the coals, sleepers will flee the house and quite forsake it, and then thieves can see after all that they please. Quote from " Of the Virtues of Stones." by Albertus Magnus, c1200-1280 #booksky

Flies are unquiet, and importunate, and malicious, sting-ing and worrying. Flies, like bees, if killed in water, sometimes revive after an hour. If Flies be burnt, and smeared with honey on bald places, they produce hair. - Hortus Sanitatis, De Avibus #flies #surprise

Dress for the job you want.
Francis Bacon's  screaming, purple-robed pope from "Head VI," a grim face reduced to an open mouth, with most of the upper half of the head smudged out. The seated figure is trapped in some kind of transparent cabinet or box.

Lord Lovat by Hogarth. While waiting to be executed a stand collapsed killing 9 spectators. His own head was removed as he laughed and laughed. The phrase ‘laughing your head off’ a result. His head still rumoured to roll around Boleskine House

If you were living in Europe in the 1580s and 90s, you would likely have heard a few herring prophecies from Norway. Fishes with words about evil, fighting knights symbolizing the Ottoman conflicts of the Habsburg monarchy etc. appeared, and they all predicted something about the state of the world.

You will rarely see such a beautiful coin anywhere in the annals of history. No larger than a fingernail, this electrum stater from Lampsakos (Greek polis on the eastern shore of the Hellespont) depicts Pegasos, with curved antique-style wings. 🏺 1/ 520-480 BCE. #GettyVilla 📸 me
This incredibly detailed electrum stater from Lampsakos depicting Pegasos (with antique-style curved wings - upper body only, no rear) is no bigger than a pinkie fingernail. It boggles the mind, thinking of how an artist engraved such a tiny coin stamp with so many details. Lampsakos was an ancient Greek city located in modern day Turkey, strategically situated on the eastern side of the Hellespont in the northern Troad. An inhabitant of Lampsakos was called a Lampsacene.

Minted ca. 520-480 BCE.

On loan to the Getty Villa from the American Numismatic Society (1967.152.411)
