On this Feast of the anchorite saints Judith and Salome, we are most pleased to bring you another episode of RFG! Ahhh….. the merry month, where did go?! Perhaps into hiding with our sweet anchorites, not to be confused with a myriad of other Saints Judith and Salome, or the hagiographic (hag because saint, not because crone) blur with two badass ladies of the Hebrew Testament–but a happy feast to you all the same! Brought to you by the Demon King (or Queen, some say…) Beleth; the get-away-from-me-unless-you’re-lightning and beloved source of medieval nut milk, the illustrious tree and good herb Walnut; the blackest of Tourmalines for our stone; and the Hermit as our Tarot Trump this day.
We explore the geomantic figure of loss-but-not-sadness, Amissio, and its homo-form of Os(h)e Meji from the Ifa and Orisha corpus; and discuss the myriad magics of seclusion and exile, following in the footsteps of our anchorite inspirations. (When there was only one set of footprints, it is because I left you to live in a small cell and retire from the weary, well-worn world….)
And finally we discuss and explore the life and works of the divinely inspired artist and priestess Susanne Wenger, also known by her Yoruba name, Adunni Olorisa, an Austrian artist who expatriated to Nigeria and manifested her love of traditional Yoruba religion in her art and architecture, bringing new life to old temples and bringing the Divine to earthly form.
Now and always, may it always be a cell of our choosing, dear ones. See you next episode! Enjoy!
